To Arista, From Santa
Resting at the edge of Princess Arista’s seashell bed is a lovely silver hairbrush with red ribbons tied around the handle. Beneath the ribbons is a beautiful cursive carving of her full name for once, Arista rather than simply a confusing letter A. Written right on the ribbons is a little message in octopus ink. “Princess Arista, keep up your bubbly personality and good cheer! Merry Christmas!”
-- Arista shot out of her bed, and squealed excitedly once remembering it was christmas morning. She then covered her mouth with a small giggle, realizing the rest of her sisters were still asleep and she shouldn't wake them. Arista was so excited, Christmas time in Atlantica was so joyful, and everything was decorated brightly and neatly. Just the sight of the town would make her smile! Arista sat back down on her bed, she knew she wasn't supposed to go look at the presents from father in the main part of the castle, but she was so tempted. Arista decided to stay in her bed, and flopped down with a bang. Her tail connected with something, and sitting up, Arista discovered the little gem. How had she missed it before? A present from Santa! Her heart raced with joy, and her eyes filled with warmth. A hairbrush! It wasn't just any hairbrush, it had her name on it, and a bunch of pretty ribbons! Her favorite! Arista gleamed at the brush, her face beaming with happiness. She ran it through her hair, and nodded in satisfaction. "Wow, i've never used anything like it!" Arista looked closer, and noticed a small message was scribed in octopus ink. "Princess Arista, keep up your bubbly personality, and good cheer! Merry Christmas!" Smiling, Arista whispered "I will keep it up, for sure! Thanks a bunch santa!"
