Odd though it may seem, what happened to Shane and Sabrina was for the best.
It was the very afternoon after Shane and Sabrina had given us their sad news. Because it was cold now, we met at the Polar Bear's windmill, after Yana gave us permission to come. Of all the things we would have expected to see, it was Shane and Sabrina, out of breath, come to tell us that they could come, but the mission would have to be tomorrow. We were happy to oblige.
A short time after Shane and his sister left, Phillp Wilder came up, out of breath.
Sorry... I was.. late" he panted. "But I do... think I can... solve the last of... our problems"
"How?" the three of us said at once.
"Did Sabrina tell you how they got their permission?"
"No"
"Then I ought to tell you..."
"Shane and Sabrina went back to the Lighthouse immediately after school was over. They were hardly excited for Christmas, the way things were going. They did try to argue with their mother, but she was set on her decision. An hour afterward, they heard a knock on the door. Their older siblings had come home for Christmas. Their siblings were quickly alerted of the problem by the babies. The fact was that, well, they could understand both sides, and they could convince Sandra. So there we are."
"And," he finished, "could we do that on a larger scale? With all of Calico Village."
"Wouldn't hurt to ask some of the older sisters." Dominic replied.
"What are we waiting for?" I asked.
"Lets get going," said Patrick.
"Would you mind if I didn't go? said Dominic. "I have a headache."
And the three of us we were off to town in ten minutes.
The three of us (Critter Guard just kept losing members) went to town. We went first to the Department store, but they were closing early. Next we went to Stella's house, where Stella, and Laura, were having a talk. They had heard about the mess and were ready to take over tackling it.
The next day, when we did go to The Old Dead Tree we found Packbat and Gatorpossum had left in the middle of the night, as they did not like Christmas, and we were fortunate to have been delayed. We moved all of the mistletoe into The Tree and well, Packbat had quite a surprise when he came back.
Lastly, Stella and Laura gave a message to all of Calico Village concerning Mistletoe, and since then, well, excluding me and Douglas Furbanks, there has not been any more trouble with Mistletoe.
I just have to wonder what will happen on Valentine's day.
