A/N: Oh my gosh, I know it’s been quite a wait, but school has been murderous. This is my last week and then I have final exams and then I’m off until mid January *dances*

Did everyone enjoy New Moon? I’ve only watched it twice so far, but I’m sure I’ll manage at least one more showing before it leaves theaters.

Anywhoo, thanks to Lizzy and Carly for taking the time to review. Means a lot. Always nice to hear what you think. Hope you like this one. Enjoy!

Chapter 3 Ghost of Christmas Present

The spinning ceased and it took me a moment to get my bearings straight before I recognized that I was nowhere near New York City any longer. It was still cold with a blanket of snow, but I’d never been here before.

“Come along. Quit your dawdling.” The ghost now had a grey – that was nearly white – ground sweeping fur coat on and was motioning me forward animatedly. “Lot’s to do. Chop, chop!”

We were in a wooded area where four houses were visible with small streams of smoke billowing from their brick chimneys. All of the houses were similar, clearly all a part of one great estate, but they varied in size. The main house could easily fit two houses neatly inside it and the two closest homes were just slightly smaller. The fourth one, which we seemed to be heading for, was small and plain and further from the other grouping.

My guide spun quickly on her heels dragging me around effortlessly. “Change of plans. Let’s save that one,” she motioned over her shoulder at the little grey house, “for last.”

No sooner had she spoken than we appeared in the Great Room of the main house that sparkled from the massive amount of Christmas lights that outlined the entire structure. I barely noticed the twelve foot, glittering Christmas tree with its pile of presents perfectly positioned underneath, as my eyes were locked on the grand piano that stood at the south end of the room next to the window. My piano. I’d know my piano anywhere. As nice as the one in New York was, it wasn’t this one, the one I’d created her song on.
