//------------------------------// // Arriving at Manehattan/Christmas Party Plans // Story: Christmas Break // by vvHunterr //------------------------------// Abigail had just gotten off the plane and sat down on the benches in the terminal. She had recieved a text from Theresa to meet her here once she got off the plane. "Abigial?!" Abigail looked up and saw her friend walking torwards her. She smiled. "Theresa, how great it is to see you again!" They both shared a warm hug. "Thank you so much for even bothering to come all this way," Theresa said gratefully. "I really do appreciate it." "Hey, that's what friends are for," Abigail said. They walked outside to the parking lot and drove over to Theresa's. Once they arrived there, they went inside and the latter wasted no time opening up her laptop and showing Abigail the footage. "This is the incident that took place," Theresa explained. "I wasn't there but..." They watched the footage. Theresa pointed to showed a stranger eating his food. Nothing out of the ordinary. After he was done, he went to the restroom to wash his hands. Again, nothing unusual there, but Abigail knew something was about to happen. She couldn't have been more right. People frantically rushed to the restroom trying to pull open the locked door. The next thing they knew, the cops and ambulance arrived at the scene. They broke open the door and placed the man onto the stretcher and into the ambulance. His face was deathly white and the bathroom reeked of vomit. "Oh my..."Abigail said. "Based on what I heard, that man had screamed from inside. Calling for someone to call for help. All those who witnessed say he was perfectly fine before he ate. So they concluded that we poisoned our food." "I can't believe it. I just can't." Abigail gasped. *At the scene* After the police and ambulance left, one of the customers got really angry. "Is this what you feed your customers?! Some type of poison?!" he snapped at one of the waitresses. She flinched. "What? No! I don't understand. I don't know how-" "Quit your lying! I saw you were the one who bought the plate over to that man! Do you know how much trouble you are in?! Not just you but the whole resturaunt!" The Sous Chef came out. "Sir, please stay calm. I can assure you my waitress here or any other waitresses or waiters had nothing to do with the incident." he told the angry customer. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to? He pulled out a badge and showed it to the chef. "My name is Jason Axton and I'm an attorney. When I'm done with you, your resturaunt will never open again!" he stormed off. The waitress who was there looked on nervously. "He doesn't really mean that...does he?" she asked shakily. "I think he might," the Chef replied sadly. "Call the Owner. Tell her everything that just happened." "Yes, sir. Right away." she dialed the owner and told her everything that had recently occured. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "After I recieved that phonecall I immediatley knew something was very wrong. I know non of my workers would ever do something to harm anyone." She groaned in despair. "What am I going to do? If we lose this, a lot of my workers would be without jobs!" Abigail put a comforting hand on her friend's shoulder. "We must not give up so soon." she said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So yeah, my family and my friend's family will be having a huge christmas party near the holidays." Logan said as they ate. "You should defintley come, Sunset. It's going to be a good one." "Why not, after all it would be nice to meet your family." Sunset smiled. "Is it going to be here?" "Oh heavens no!" Mr. Blackwood laughed. "We would be crushed to death if we had it here! It's going to be at the huge log cabin. Its designed to hold 3 families in it." "Wow..." Logan said. "I never actually been there before. So when do we leave?" "In a few days. We gotta make sure we get everything ready first." Mrs. Cowbell said. After they were done eating Sunset excused herself to the restroom. She closed the door behind her and took out her journal. Dear, Princess Twilight How are you doing? For me. I'm not doing too bad myself. Logan's family and his friend's family are having a big christmas party later this week and he has asked me to come. Of course I accepted. I just hope his family likes me. I also met his two childhood friends and they are some of the nicest I've ever saw. I'm feeling a lot better now. I might finally have another chance to be surroudned by those who care about me. - Sunset Shimmer.
