Christmas is the time for magical adventures and awesome gifts.
Margaret knew she wasn’t lying, but how could she prove it to Billy. She did go on great adventures all the time. Maybe the Angel would allow her to take him along?
“If I take you with me, you have to promise not to tell anyone. Do you promise?”
“What?”
“You have to promise,” said Margaret again, “not to tell anyone. Do you promise?”
“Alright,” said Billy reluctantly, “I promise.”
Billy got a broom and placed it between his legs.
“I didn’t know you were a witch Margaret,” said Billy mockingly. “Hop on! Where are we going?”
Margaret took the broom from Billy, and in a low tone she said, “We have to wait until my mom goes to the bathroom. This way she can’t see us on the Maggie cam.”
Margaret ran into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator door and handed her mom a bottle of water.
“That is so sweet of you,” said mom. “I could use some water. And let me get you a bottle also. Water is good for you.”
Margaret and Billy waited and waited for Diane to come out of the kitchen. It seemed like forever.
“This is so boring,” said Billy. He wanted to throw another very soft building block at Margaret. He picked one up.
“You have to be patient,” said Margaret. “We’re going to find Santa and Mrs. Claus and the elves.”
Billy started laughing. He thought Margaret was eating too many donuts and candy. She had a sugar high.
Diane brought Emma into the living room and put her in the playpen. She then went to the bathroom. Margaret sprang into action. She taped the drumstick to the broom and grabbed Billy’s hand and tapped the Angel on top of the Tree.
Margaret and Billy were teleported into an ancient city. Billy was so frightened that he screamed, “Where are we?”
Margaret laughed. “Don’t be a scaredy cat. I’ll protect you.”
“I’m not a scaredy cat. I don’t even like cats. Where are we?”
“I don’t know,” said Margaret. “But we’re here to find Santa and Mrs. Claus and the elves.”
“I want to go home,” said Billy, looking around at the strange men, who all wore beards and most had sandals on.
“Don’t be scared,” said Margaret confidently.
“Let’s go home!”
“Why are you holding onto my hand so tightly? These people can’t see or hear us. Look at this.”
Margaret walked right through a sheep that was in front of them. She then started doing backflips and somersaults. Billy couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He had to be asleep and dreaming. He pinched himself.
“That hurt,” said Billy.
“What happened? Asked Margaret, walking slowly and looking around for Santa.
“Nothing,” said Billy. Still wondering if he was asleep and dreaming.
As Margaret and Billy continued walking, he let go of Margaret’s hand. He started feeling safer and started doing backflips and somersaults. He always wanted to do a cartwheel but never could. And now he could do them easily. He started running back and forth and couldn’t believe how fast he could run. He even ran through people.
He tried to run through Margaret, but they both collided and fell to the ground.
“Can you please be careful,” said Margaret, picking herself up from the floor, and brushing herself off.
