"Danny?" Melody muttered.

"Hm?" Danielle replied.

"You do realize that you have to put the train in a box before you wrap it?"

Danielle looked down at the toy train, mixed in a mess of wrapping paper. She looked up at Melody and smiled.

"Danny is stupid.." Muttered Melody, writing that down on her reports paper, smiling, and walking away. Danielle picked up a box and mouthed 'Box.'

"Right.." Muttered Melody, circling the room. "Everything's going pretty well. Shari, machine 2 is out of paper, could you refill it please?.. Right, OK, good everyone!" She yelled and all the elves smiled.

"Ah," came a voice from behind her, "The inspirational words of Melody."

Melody spun around to see Bernard leaning in the doorway.

"Oh, hey Bernard." She said, walking up to him.

"Oh," he said, "Here. You dropped this this morning." He handed her the paper with her poem on it.

"Oh.." Melody managed to push out "Th-thanks. Did you read it?" She said quickly, looking up but avoiding eye contact.

"Well, Charlie did, and, um. sort of, yeah. It's very good!" He added hastily.

Melody looked up and smiled, wondering if he had realized that it was about him.

"W-well," Bernard mumbled, "Report?"

"Oh, yes." Said Melody. "I have a report. Everything is going smooth.." She read off of her list. "Paul having trouble with hands, needs a few days off, Andrew is a speed demon, needs to be promoted, Priscilla having trouble loading machines, Danny is stupid. OH! Never mind that, she forgot to put the train in the box.." Bernard bust up laughing at this.

"She what?" He chuckled, "Oh, that's hilarious!"

"Yeah, I know. The people I associate myself with. we all have issues."

"Eh, having issues is fun."

"Yeah, it is!" Melody said as they laughed together. She looked up into Bernard's eyes, sparkling with laughter. As they smiled at each other, a resounding crash was heard through the halls.

"Oh no.." Said Bernard, "Gotta go, see what's happened."

"Tell me later if anyone's hurt!" Melody yelled after him.

"All right!" He yelled back, rushing up the halls.

Melody looked after him with mixed feelings. Sad because he had to leave, and worried for anyone who had been hurt.

Melody walked outside at twilight. She looked up at the sky, laden with the northern lights. She smiled at the beauty of it all.

"Hey you!" Someone called, "Wait up!"

"Oh, hey Holly."

"You OK?"

"Yes, of course I am. Look at how beautiful it is, though."

"Mel, it looks like this every night."

"I know, but I never stopped to look at it."

"And you do now?"

"Yes, I've been enjoying more things now, not taking them for granted."

"Because of Bernard."

"It's that obvious?"

"Mel, I know you really like him. And I'm sorry for making fun of you."

"It's OK. I know how you are. I'm used to it. Anyway, how's your brother?"

Jules? Eh, he would be fine if he hadn't have had a table land on him today."

"So that was the crash! It hit Jules?"

"Yeah, someone tripped and knocked over a table. It hit Jules, Christian, and Karrick."

"Ouch.."

"Yeah. They've got some pretty bad lumps on they're heads." Holly cocked her head to one side and looked into the moonlight past Melody.

"What?" Melody inquired.

"It's Bernard. I think I'll leave now.."

"No, Holly, wait-" Holly flashed Melody a wryly smile, then turned and left. Melody sat in the darkness for a second, until Bernard came up behind her.

"What're you doing out this late, Mel?" He said, "Most everybody else is home drinking cocoa."

"Well, you're out this late."

"Good point," Said Bernard. He smiled at Melody, and she felt like melting, though she held it back and simply smiled. They just smiled at each other for a moment. A cloud moved away from the moon and as the moonlight hit Bernard's face, Melody's face faded to a look of wonder.

~*.*~

Bernard looked into Melody's eyes, looked at her face, aglow with moonlight. He was soon plunged into a state of numbness. He couldn't feel anything. He couldn't see anything. Just Melody. He sat for a moment, basking in the splendor, but the feeling soon became uncomfortable.

"Um," He muttered, "I'd, I'd better go."

"All right." Said Melody, seemingly snapping out of a trance. "Good-bye."

"Good-bye," said Bernard. He moved his arms toward Melody and pulled her up into a soft embrace. Before he pulled away, he kissed her on the cheek. Then he walked away without saying anything else. He was smiling- inside and out.

Best lines ever in a song: "His teacher's didn't understand, they kicked him out of school at a tender age just because he didn't want to learn things. Had other interests. HE LIKED TO BURN THINGS!" "The lady down the block, she had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad. So he took it the first chance he had. And then he shot her in the leg!" "And when he stole the car, nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far. He didn't mean to hit the poor man- who had to go and die!" -From "Only A Lad", by Oingo Boingo.
