"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" had a powerful meaning on the contestants aboard the S.S. CPSkool. In fact, it wasn't just one little star twinkling. Above the Northern Lights were seemingly millions of white dots sparkling with a sense of...accomplishment with each flicker.
The contestants had already lost two of their own, and although they were separated by their gender, they knew that on this night, they were all buddies. All the competition they had gone through meant nothing at this moment. Friendships were most important, and it was a breezy, clear night for them to sit out on the deck to gossip and joke.
Suddenly, the boat started to tremor as if they had been hit by an iceberg. Luckily, they didn't have a fate like the Titanic's, because the contestants looked over at the moon and saw Santa's sleigh fly by. Rudolph's red nose was sparkling just as bright as the stars.
Penguin874 jogged out to the group with a candy cane being clutched by his flipper. "Everyone, come inside, quick!" he called out. "Santa just flew over and dropped a bunch of presents off when we weren't looking." The 12 friends rushed as if it were Black Friday into the main lobby of the cruise ship.
When they reached the Christmas tree, everyone saw Matbolabc and Sand Flipper were snuggled together in a blanket with hot chocolate not far away. Guitarking97 laughed at Mat's blushing. "Ok, everyone, I hate to be a buzz kill, but we need to head to bed.... We'll be able to open the gifts in the morning!"
Moans of sadness were heard across the room, but the orders were followed. The Girls started to head back to their dorm, as did the Boys. In their dreams, the penguins thought about what kind of stuff they would receive. Others hoped Santa didn't give them some coal like previous years. All in all, it was an exciting night of anticipation that the contestants were ready to get over with.
Merry Christmas!
