Pora Ice
A little infant polar bear cub slipped into the ice cold water of the Arctic Sea while sleeping. A few days later, after turning into an ice cube and being carried away by the cold watery current to a nearby shore it, it woke up and it's ice started to melt away every hour of every day. Then it went growing into a little cub that slipped every time it tried to walk. One of the following nights a Zurg ship passed by and left the bear a red/crimson scarf so it could be protected of the cold. The next days and following weeks it grew and grew into a bigger polar bear always dreaming of that Zurg ship that brought it the scarf. At it's adult stage, the polar bear started finding a mate so it could procreate and protect the little infant that reminded of itself so much. That's why ever since then the polar bears are symboled by a blue bear resembling shield covered by a red scarf representing the protection polar bears give to each other and the protection and care other beings gave to the polar bears.

Biancamella
A young adult peasant from the medieval era was scavenging in the woods trying to find something to eat. When he found a an odd container. It was pink and white colored with gold details. So he wondered what was in it and so he opened it and found out it was sugar. The royal family who ruled over that area were running out of stock especially on sugar, and also he had a crush on the beautiful elegant princess named Bianca. The sugar bowl resembled her so much that he called her Biancamella. What he didn't know that when he opened the sugar bowl, the inner magic of it started to blossom. Thinking he could be recognized by the king and especially by the princess, he set foot to the castle for an audience with the king and his princess. The king who was so busy, wanted to keep this audience short as he was stressed out not knowing where he could get those thing he and his kingdom needed. The peasant made it short and sweet and he said that he wanted to give them his sugar bowl named Biancamella, because it resembled the princess and surely he stated that this sugar bowl was magical. He told the king about his anecdote in which when he was gifted some coffee from a caring woman, he wanted to sweeten it so he grabbed the pink sugar bowl and accidentally he drop a little sugar which were only one or two grains and they were dropped in the coffee. He tasted it and it was perfectly sweeten. The king was mildly impressed and so he brought some sugarless coffee. The king, queen and the princess tasted the sugarless coffee to prove that it wasn't sweeten, and so it wasn't. So the peasant gave one grain of sugar from the bowl to each cup and to their amazement it was perfectly sweeten. The sugar bowl named Biancamella was the solution to their problem. Also the peasant noted to the king that he wanted to give it for free and that no reward was needed to him because he cares for this kingdom and he loves the princess. The family was excited for the solution of their problem and so they called the butler and stated that he would take Biancamella to the kitchen and put it in a cabinet. The days passed by and so the princess wanted to get herself some cup of coffee not to bother the maids and when she opened the cabinet, the sugar bowl started to glow a bright pink. Then the pink glow ceased and from the inner of the bowl a little spec of bright pink glowing light went to the princess and they both seemed fond of each other, so the princess took the spec of light to her room. While the princess was sleeping Biancamella went to the cabinet where her bowl was and started to make threads from the sugar. The threads were colored white, pink and gold; the same as as the sugar bowl. And starting to manipulate and sew the threads, Biancamella created a beautifully detailed sugar stole that was placed on top of her bed. Bianca woke up and by her amazement saw the beautiful stole on her bed. She wondered who made it and then she saw Biancamella, the little glowing spec, right underneath it. And then she knew it was her. So she tucked in Biancamella in her bed sheets so she could rest. Then the other night Biancamella growing more her affection with Bianca, made her some gorgeous stockings that matched her stole. Bianca was so grateful of her. Then made her a sweet parasol. After some nights Biancamella grew into a larger spec of glowing pink light, and this made her improve and she made for Bianca a pretty long sleeve and puff sleeve bolero. Each time she was improving her sewing skills while her affection grew more to the princess, making Biancamella grow more. It was the day before the annual ball and she didn't know what she was going to wear, she wanted something that represented her to a tee. So Biancamella wanted to make her the most gorgeous dress for the Annual Ball that when Bianca went to sleep, Biancamella made threads out of the sugar till she used her last energy. She finished making the necessary thread for the dress but she now needed to make the dress. She found it in her inner soul and an inner spark glowed that Biancamella fully evolved into a pink sugar pixie. This made her be replenished of energy and she made the most beautiful dress for Bianca and more. She made a spun-sugar dress, a bonbon corset, a flowing taffy wig hair, sugar pixie wings, a caramel comb, some sugar aura so Bianca could shine and standout, and cotton candy for when she needed that sugar boost. Bianca woke up and saw this beautiful made couture dress that Biancamella made for her just for the ball. She went looking for her and wanted to thank her and saw her fully formed, Biancamella was so happy to see Bianca happy that they grew the tightest bond. The princess was ready to attend the ball and so she went and was the center of attention from everyone. In this ball in particular she had to pick her husband and so she looked and looked and finally found the person. It was the peasant that brought her the Biancamella! Most of the available men were saddened and they hated the peasant, but the grudge never lasted, the men moved on with their life. Now Bianca was so excited that she wanted to give her fullest thanks to Biancamella. But when she went to her bedroom. She didn't saw her immediately, wondering where she was, she glimpsed at the window and saw her floating away. Bianca was asking her why is she leaving if they were the best friends and Biancamella told her through telepathic mean, that she was happy for making the princess happy, and so she had to leave because Biancamella's destiny was to make the one that touched her little pixie soul the most, happy. And Biancamella made Bianca the happiest that she ever was and it was truly the time to leave. But Biancamella told the princess that if you ever missed her, her soul will always be in the sugar of the pink and white with gold detailed sugar bowl. Also she told her that if any person near the sugar bowl that truly touches Biancamella's heart the most, Biancamella will appear to make him/her happy and also to make herself happy.

Both Carols:

After this, Ebenezer/Nick decides to change his ways. He started to see and feel the happiness, his heart grew warmer/his eyes became clearer. After this, he decides to trying to know what happened to his forgotten brother. Ebenezer/Nick then realized that his brother wasn't dead, he thought he was dead because he grew apart of him meaning that he would act as if his brother was dead all of these years. They try to amend each other and then they gift each other something meaningful, a snow globe that represents X-mas being spent together. They then hug and once again they became real brothers. They then decide to spread their happiness throughout the world. And this is how this story ends. Merry X-mas and to all, a good night. The Bard concludes his carol. The end.
