Holly adjusted her winter cloak before settling down next to the Cloud Tower pixie. "Corda," Holly said, purposely shortening the other pixie's name just to get her attention. "I'm bored."
Discorda felt her teeth clenched as she slowly turned to face Holly, one of the few pixies that came out of hiding only when it pertained to their season. She mentally cursed the whole seasonal pixies again, Holly in particular because she knew they only bothered her when they knew Athena and Concorda wouldn't give them what they wanted. "I can see that," Discorda said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "And please tell me that there's a reason for you bothering me."
Holly just gave Discorda a hurt look before speaking. "Of course there is, Corda. Have you ever read the story 'The Nutcracker'?" she asked.
Discorda paused a moment, running through her thoughts. Had she read the story? It had been ages that she had thought about it. Suddenly, the light bulb went on, and she mentally reached up and turned it off. "Yes, Holly, I have. What about it?" she asked. No sooner had the words left her mouth, it dawned on her what Holly had in mind. "No, no, no!" she snapped, glaring at the other pixie. "I am *not* doing that. You can just forget it."
