The Christmas Nazi's White Christmas

Category: Isabel
Rating: Suitable for children

Summary: Just a really short thing about the Christmas episode. I was actually inspired by Jason Behr’s comment: “… someone was reading the script and going ‘snow in Roswell… yes…’ ” from the ARCC interview at thewb.com

************************************

Christmas was almost perfect this year. Isabel had managed to “save” it despite her family’s utter lack of enthusiasm. Starting with the tree Max had picked. C’mon, did anyone really expect something to come out of that pathetic excuse for a fir? Yet, she had managed something decent, with almost no use of powers at all. Isabel was rather proud of herself for that one.

Like every year, the pageant had been a success, and so had the many activities at the nursing home. The older folks living there actually appreciated the true meaning of Christmas, unlike some others Isabel could think of!

When she saw the smile on Maria’s face as she arrived for midnight service with Michael, Isabel knew that trading the Christmas dog show in favour of a bit more Christmas shopping on Michael’s behalf had been the right thing to do. Now Michael owed her. She wasn’t going to let him forget that! She smiled to herself, quite pleased.

Something was missing, though. She couldn’t quite figure out what. Isabel turned to see what was going on when her mother made a small surprised noise. She saw Max, her way-too-serious, alien-turned-Christmas-angel brother coming towards them. Isabel was glad he had decided to join them. If nothing else, it made their mother very happy, and it was Isabel’s Christmas wish that her family be happy. Max walked by her and sat next to Liz.

A big drop of rain fell on Isabel’s head and she finally realized what had been missing from her perfect Christmas. Concentrating on the water falling from the sky, she used her powers to crystallize each drop into pretty snowflakes. She had no idea how long she could keep it up, but she would enjoy it while it lasted.

Roswell or not, everyone deserves a white Christmas!
