A CHRISTMAS STORY

Just then Samantha
felt this warm tingling feeling
go up her legs and then up her spine
to the top of her head.
"I think she's calling us now...
I'm tuned into her somehow...
...follow me."

Amanda and Pooh
followed Samantha across
the plaza to one of
the soft lit rooms.

There were strange gold markings
over the entrance that read "11:11".
Amanda stared at the "11:11"
with stunned fascination.

She felt compelled
to spin around and when she did
she saw "11:11" over every
entrance of every room.
"Oh my gosh!...
They weren't there a second ago."
she muttered to herself.

Just then
Samantha called out
in a sweet singing voice.
"Yooo hooo! Mariah!
Where are you?"

"Yoo hooo!..Samantha!..
Yoo hooo! Amanda!
Yoo hooo! Pooh!.."

A very familiar figure
stepped out from behind
a purple velvet curtain
on a small stage
from across the room.

"Hi girls! How are you?...
And how are you...Pooooh?"

"Hi Mariah."
"Hi Mariah."
"Uh....Hi....Miss....
...Mariah..."
Pooh blushed
as he stammered.
He had a little
crush on this
well known
young woman.

Mariah smiled warmly.
" Oh. it's OK. Don't be shy.
It's true, I am the so-called
famous singer/musical artist
that you know of but up here
we're all famous and special
and I'm no different
from you...
In fact...
I'm alot like you."
A warm tingling energy
flowed through Amanda and Samantha
as they sensed the truth
of what Mariah was saying.
Mariah walked over
to a pile of big, puffy, velvet pillows
on the floor, sat down and waved
the three new guests
over to join her.
"Let's get comfy cozy
here on the pillows
so we can talk
for awhile."
They tip toed over
and plopped down on the pillows
and then Mariah and the girls
began to talk...and talk...
and talk...
Pooh just sat and listened
and made "goo goo eyes"
at his "dream girl".
