Eska's Christmas Party (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 2

By the time Eska and her friends helped carry the girl to Julia's, she was already just getting frostbite. She finally woke up on a cot of Julia's and wondered where she was.

"You were lucky you brought her here before she froze to death," Julia placed a warm cloth on the girl's face while she talked to Eska. The girl finally say up, and was scared, "Wh-where am I? What am I doing here?! Am I in...heaven?"

"No, you're in my hovel, little one," Julia explained and showed her her rescuers, "These little blue guys, the Smurfs, helped you come out of the cold. They were the ones who helped you."

"Oh...," The little girl held out her hands so that they could climb on, "Thank you little fellas! You saved my life!"

"Je vous en prie, my darling!" Felipe replied, "We were just doing what Smurfs do!"

"Bien merci!" The girl giggled "Je frissonne dans le froid depuis un moment, mais je vous suis reconnaissant de m'avoir sauvé"

The Smurfs stood in shock, especially Felipe, "Vache sacrée. She speaks zee French language!"

"What did she say?" Bash wondered.

"She said she's been shivering out in the cold for a while," Felipe explained, "But she is thankful we rescued her."

"Aw, shucks," Benny bashfully twisted his scarf, "It's no biggie."

"My name is Cerise," The girl introduced.

"Ah, the French word for Cherry, I see," Felipe bowed, "Je m'appelle Felipe, madam,"

"I'm Eska!" Eska brought Spiro close, "And this is Spiro!"

"Hi," Spiro waved.

"Um...I'm Britze," Britze shyly introduced herself.

"My name is Benny," Benny coyly smiled.

"And I'm Bash!" Bash beamed, "Pleasure to meet you!"

"So...where's you're family?" Eska asked, "They're probably worried sick!"

Cerise suddenly frowned, "Well...I-"

Before she could finish, Johan, Peewit, and Jackie came through with presents in their hands. "Merry Christmas, my little sweetie pie of sunshine!" Peewit greeted Julia then looked over, "Uh, who's she?"

"Yea," Jackie snickered, "Did you kidnap her?"

"No, I didn't kidnap her," Julia rolled her eyes, "Eska and her friends rescued her from the cold. They just brought her here."

"Well then!" Johan went over to greet her, "Nice to meet you, kid! I'm Johan!"

"Cerise," She shook Johan's hand.

"And over there is my boyfriend, Peewit, and Jackie, a reformed villain," Julia introduced them.

"Greetings!" Peewit bowed.

"Hola," Jackie saluted.

"So...what happened?" Peewit asked her, "Why are you out here by yourself?"
