Chapter 3

It was finally Christmas! Theo and Maya burst in Ember's room and hugged her."Hmmm.... HMM It's CHRISTMAS!"Ember yelled as she hugged her parents."Yes indeed! Good morning my angel!"Theo said and Maya kissed her on the cheek. "Ok let's quickly get ready, we are meeting with Joy and her family" Maya said and walked out of the room. Theo got up and followed Maya and Ember quickly started searching what to wear.

She found a cute red with green dress and wore it."Okei i am ready!"Ember wispered and sat down to her bed again waiting for her parents. Maya went to the kitchen to check on the food they were making,since there was no way they would go empty-handed. Theo got ready and went to the kitchen."Come on baby,we are going to be late. Leave this to me"He said and looked at the food."Thanks,you are a savior!"Maya said and walked upstairs."Mhmm i know." Theo said and smiled. They finally got ready and started driving to their house.

On the other side, Joy was nervous in case she didn't prepare everything on time."Honey,calm down. Today isn't a day to be nervous, you should be happy. Here let me help!"Josh said and he quickly set the table, and he brought the gifts they bought for Maya,Theo and Ember. Ash was already ready and patiently waited. They were done just in time when they heard the bell ring."OH I WILL GET IT!" Ash yelled and after checking who it was he opened the door."Welcome! Merry Christmas!" Ash said with a warm smile . Everyone wished Merry Christmas and got in. They exchanged gifts,laughed and had a pretty good time. After eating the adults were cleaning up the table so Ash and Ember were alone. "Kids,you can go up to Ash's room. We will call you later,when we finish up here."Joy said. Ash grabbed Ember hand and lead her to his room. Ember quickly sat on the bed and Ash laughed."I really like the gift you got me!"Ash said and smiled "Likewise!"Ember said and grinned. They talked for a while and noticed they had quite a lot of commons. "We are friends now! Promise!"Ember said."Heh..Ok promise"He said as they pinky promised. Soon after Maya and Theo called Ember. Ash and Ember hugged goodbye and left.

Until the holidays end, the two families met up almost everyone. It would be either Joy going to the shop or Josh or they would meet for a coffee.

The kids played most days together and talked for hours about random things.

Just like that the holidays passed and the school started for Ember and Ash. Maya and Theo put away the Christmas decorations from the shop and brought out the usual decorations they had.

Since Ash moved there recently Joy and Josh decided to enroll him in the same school as Ember. The two kids were absolutely excited that they were going to attend the same school.
