Re: I'm Dreaming of a Wright Christmas(Invite)

[Abigail Wright]

Abby was torn between 'eww' and 'squee' at seeing her parents kiss, she was at the complex age when she was starting to wonder if it was better to call Mummy or Mum, Santa was both real and yet she had listened to older kids going on about how he was really just made up like the Easter Bunny. Every year she was losing a little wonder about the world as she learned 'facts' at school and more often then not in the playground. Adults still made little sense to her, she only took a partial interest in the discussion going on about Daddy's band and music in general, Abby wondered if she ought to be a musician, but she decided she would rather do dancing because you wouldn't have to carry lots of stuff everywhere like her Dad and Uncles did when they went to 'gigs'. Not paying attention meant she missed the laughter at Uncle Pwick's expense, there was a lot more important things like sorting out her presents into which ones would go on what shelf and if she would take some to school or horde them herself.

Too soon though Uncle Pwick had to leave, Abby made sure to give him a hug unaware of the suspicion around his early exit before returning to the loungeroom to find Unchie Nathy and Miss Greta holding hands.. now both her parents had given her 'the talk' that Unchie Nathy and Miss Greta where friends and not to make a big deal of it because it would embarrass Unchie Nathy and could be bad because Miss Greta worked at the newspaper like Daddy did. This had all seemed rather silly to Abby, especially since she was convinced that Miss Greta liked Unchie Nathy from the first moment she'd seen her hold his hand. But Abby had gone though a good four month period where she had decided she wanted to be a reporter when she grew up and be on tv like Kim Sparkle only she would call out nasty lying people like that naughty Mr Frump in America who had lied about having a girlfriend when he'd been married! Yes it had been a eye-opening day when the Wrights had finally decided to bow to the pressure and subscribe to WWBN TV.

She had been unusually quiet during much of dinner as she pondered on a way to find out if Miss Greta was in love with Unchie Nathy or not, watching wide eyed at seeing them hug was one thing but Abby had to be 100% sure, she'd heard Daddy talk about how someone had made alligators and gotten in big trouble when it turned out that he had been wrong. Deciding to keep a close eye on Unchie Nathy and Miss Greta until it had gotten late and it was time for Miss Greta to go home to America, Abby had at this point decided upon a plan of action which was to wait until the very last moment to give the poor woman the full onslaught of the 'puppydog eyes of doom' "Miss Gweta...." a pause as she let her eyes do the pleading "will you come to Christmas next year too?" Embarrassed as her parents where at her putting a ultimatum on the poor woman Abby ignored everyone else and focused on the woman with the 'you wouldn't lie to a little girl would you?' Because if Miss Greta did come for Christmas twice then that would mean that she really did like Unchie Nathy a lot and if Disney told her anything it was that if two people liked each other a lot for a long time they would totally fall in love.
