"Really, you'd do that for me? It'd feel so good to be free..." sung Sakak, reverting to normal. He then looked sad and looked to Belladonna. "Belladonna, my dear, I'd do this if not for fear. You're my only love I've ever had, I couldn't do this if it made you sad. You I cannot betray, if you can't allow it I will stay this way. But if you will agree, to return this day to how it should be, then I can be free year round, and I can begin to really show you the town." he sung, walking over to her, honesty clear. "I know you're evil, I know you like it that way. I have not problem letting that stay. But help you in it cannot be, for like this life I live it cannot be. Mischief is what I do, that much will always be true. But if our love is to be, then you must love me for me..."

OOC: I know, it's weird. Though in a certain interatation where her actions really evil in the series to be honest? Cruel yes, moraly wrong certainly, but she wasn't outright evil like Red was or Carface (in the first movie) were. She seemed to just like being a jerk.

Belladonna seemed to struggle, not able to look him in the eyes. "So you want to be a prankster, naughty and wild? And you wouldn't forsake this demon child? This I cannot due, but I will undo it all for my love for you. Demon I may be now, but once I was like my cousin, feathery wings and in the clouds. I could do that again, so time with you I could spend. Cousin, please, set me free." she sang, looking at Pakak pleadingly.


Anabelle smiled, and took from her chest an angel wing pin. She didn't speak, but merely placed it on Belladonna, whose wings began to to change. Her hair was loosed, and she opened her eyes. The pin had changed, becoming half angel, half devil. Her leather turned white and lace trimmed the less savageclooking vest, that now had sleeves, and her collar became crystals instead of spikes. Her wings were half bat, half feathers... Her eyes were mismatched, one red and another light purple. Belladonna looked down at herself, surprised.

The pups' jaws hung open, shocked.

"icremeber that!!!" Kai I, as shocked as he had been then.


OOC: I thought this would make thing really interesting. And I think youknowwhere froZe over. o

OOC: True, and I have a way to explain her being a villain in the future.

Pakak smiled. "You're beautiful," he said, smiling to her. He looked to Anabelle and the pups. "It's strange, I went through all this trouble trying to mess up the trail and lead you astray and ruin next years Christmas..." he said. "Hmm...I could tell you were they are but...nah, it's tame enough to be a prank still," he said, smirking. He looked back to Belladonna. "I see now that there's both good and evil in you my dear, now we're truely more alike," he explained. "I'm nether good or evil, I'm neutral, I can do ether or, that's my true nature." he explained. "Now you're the same...I think I have an idea to make this work," he explained, looking to Anabelle. "Why don't you make her purpse be giving secret tests of character? She gets to do bad and evil but for an ultimately good goal?"

OOC: Seemed to be her purpose in the TV series, Charlie had to fight his temptation and Carface was forced to decide between letting her win and doing the right thing. So this doesn't contridict the series, it just the truth happened offscreen.

Belladonna laughed softly, grinning. "oh love, I feel right in this body, and I feel so much better.." she said, kissing his muzzle softly.


Anabelle smiled, waving a paw. "Once everything is fixed, the totem pole will crack. Then you're free." she stated, sighing as he told her he wouldn't clear the trail. "And don't worry about my cousin, that has been her gift since she got to Heaven."


OOC: this complicates the next story a little- would he still be there as a villain?

And I'd like to hear your idea!

OOC: That was it, she is to give secret tests of character digused as a demon. I guess that's a good point...maybe they're asigned to do it to Steele as a secret test of character?

Sakak kissed her back. "Thank you..." he said, to her and Anabelle. He looked to Anabelle. "Hey, if I made it easy, where'd the fun in that be?" he asked. "Plus, the kids are having fun on this little adventure, why spoil it?" he asked. He looked to Belladonna. "I have to do something...mind if I go apologize to Santa? Now that I find out there's a third option other than breaking the deal or making him...I feel nasty for trying to ruin Christmas every year for the past 200 years."

Lena blinked, then looked to Anabelle. "Is love always so wierd?"

OOC: alrighty. I also had another idea: what if one of Steele's parents was one of the ghosts? It makes sense that Belladonna and Pakak would do something like that.


Belladonna nodded, blushing pink at the kiss. "Of course. I feel dirty too." she looked at the sky, tinted different colors. "he's probably dropping the last gifts off." she said, spreading her pretty wings.

Anabelle giggled, shakng her head. "Not always." she said, happy

OOC: sounds good, but he doesn't know it till the end (so likely Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come)

"Alright, then let's go," said Sakak, flying off towards town.

"Well we better get going to find the Reindeer, it portent!" yelled Lena, starting off again.

The group landed on top of Rosie's house. "Rosie is the last house?"

OOC: that what I had been thinking.


Belladonna flew off, smilingly pleasantly.

Santa nodded, opening the bag. Sled gear and new parka were inside. He shrunk everything and put it downxthe door in the roof. He unharmassed the four. " I knew this was a safe place, so I saved Rosie for last."

Kai nodded, leaving Anabelle's side to sniff around.

Anabelle wrinkled her nose, nodding. "Oh, definitely. Uck! It stinks." she said, not used to earthly smells.

Kai smirked a little bit, trying not to laugh. "But it little funny." he said with a giggle, rubbing his nose.


Belladonna nodded, nuzzling Pakak. "Of course, I don't want you to get sealed away again." she said, her wings gliding, fixing the lights she had broken. "Just warn me when I get too evil. It may take a while to regulate everything."


Santa nodded, looking down at the ground, letting them all out of their harnasses. "For sure, she's a very good girl." he said. "Now go spend Christmas morning with loved ones. And thank you for the help. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call for me next year."

Tai blink, getting an idea. "Anabelle! You fly!"

Anabelle smiled. "I see what you're trying to say. I can fly up and see them through the trees."


Katie looked like she was about to pass out. "What?" she said, looking extremely confused. "There are no stories about you being able to reform! This is insane, I don't believe this." she said, eyes calming down. "But, it's good I suppose. E eryone deserves to be happy."


Santa seemed surprised, but put a hand on Pakak's shoulder. "As long as you fix everything, you're free." he said with a smile.

Anabelle nodded, and lifted off the ground, flying above the trees with Kai running after.


Belladonna looked at Pakak sadly. "How many times can you be crucified, hun?" she asked, snapping her fingers. The concrete unmelted, clearing the chimneys once more.

Santa smiled, raising a brow. "I'm guessing you won't tell me where my team is?" he asked, looking at Pakak.
