The Search for Santa Paws Page #6

---

No, no, no. You keep it, Jimmy.

You're an official Santa's helper now.

Wow! l will wear it with pride.

Thank you, Mr Elf.

Well, we can't just

stand here lollygagging.

Let's follow them, laddies!

Not a single call from anyone

that knows of Bud's family or identity.

Poor Bud.

Should we go visit him

in the hospital again?

Yeah.

lt's those girls from the foster home,

and some interesting-looking friends.

Well, go let them in!

- We're here to save Santa Claus.

- You mean Bud?

Bud is Santa Claus.

She is correct.

Allow me to introduce myself.

l'm Eli, Santa's head elf.

This is Eddy the Elf Dog, and Paws,

Santa's best friend.

We're all from the North Pole.

Santa lost his magic cystal

and his health must have been

deteriorating ever since.

Honey, that dog is talking.

l see you believe

in the Christmas spirit.

You know, l didn't always.

You know, l hate to be the

bearer of bad news, but you're right.

He's in the hospital

in critical condition.

- Oh, no!

- We have to go there now.

They won't release him to us.

Only next of kin.

We have to find a way of

getting Santa out of the hospital

- and back to the North Pole.

- l have a plan.

Willamina!

lt's about time

you open up, you little...

To what do we owe

the honour of this visit?

l received a phone call from

a neighbour. Someone named Eli Elf.

He said that the children were

Ieft here all night alone,

and it appears mo of the girls,

Will and Quinn, are missing!

Yes. Right, we were looking for them.

You are no longer

permitted in this house,

by order of the State of New York.

And furthermore, if anything

has happened to those children,

you will be held accountable.

But l love those little brats!

You can't do this to me!

You guys go, go!

l just did.

All right, we're good.

Come on, let's go. Come on, hury.

Come on!

- Go, go.

- OK, OK...

- Honey...

- OK, all right.

Over here, over here.

- That's it. Get him in here.

- l got it.

- Hold on. All right.

- OK, ready?

One, mo, three!

- That's a lot of gingerbread!

- OK, come on. Let's go.

Let's go!

Come on. Get in!

ls he gonna be OK?

ls Santa going to die?

We don't know, sweetie.

He has to make it.

Eli?

Take my cystal off

and place it next to Santa's.

Paws, if you do that,

we might not be able

to bring you back a second time.

And you may become

a stuffed toy forever.

We have no choice. All the children

around the world need him.

Can you imagine a world

without Santa Claus?

Can l have some time with Santa alone?

Sure.

Come on, Santa. We're supposed

to be best friends for all eternity.

- Santa Claus!

- Look, it's Santa.

Come on, stand up.

Come on, come on.

We have to get back

to the North Pole at once.

Only the Great Christmas Icicle

can save Paws now.

Eli, do we have the reindeer?

They should be here any minute, sir.

Whoa! Right here.

Good, guys, great job.

Whoa!

We got a few odd looks in traffic,

but, hey, that's New York.

Thank goodness you're

all right, Santa.

We have to get Paws to the

Great Christmas Icicle right away.

We're ready to fly, SC!

Hang on, Paws. We'll be home soon.

All right, let's get back

to the North Pole and fast!

- Goodbye!

- Bye, Santa!

- Goodbye Santa.

- Get better, Paws!

Oh, goodness.

l was afraid of this.

With Christmas coming so soon,

the Icicle just doesn't

have enough magic to spare.

l never thought l'd have such a friend.

What's happening?

Paws? Paws, you're back!

But how?

lt was your love for each other

and Christmas magic!

Santa, what happened to me?

You're no longer a pup. From now

on your name will be Santa Paws!

Now we really can be best friends

for all eternity, Santa Claus.

Please, come in!

l'm Mrs Gibson.

Thank goodness you girls are OK!

We're really good, actually.

l'll never forget you.

And we'll never forget you.

You know, they need a home.

- Honey? Yeah.

- Really?

l think that is the greatest Christmas

present l could ever imagine.

- You wanna go home with us?

- Yes!

Do you want a Christmas tree?

And lots of presents?

And you want lots of presents?

lt's that wonderful time of year

Hury! Christmas is just around

the corner, people! Come on!

Eveyone's working

Busy as bees

Eveyone's happy

As you can see

Christmas is coming

Children are laughing

lt's that wonderful time of year

We picked up all the mail that

was sent to Santa at the hospital.

Boughs of holly!

What are you guys doing here?

We thought you laddies might need a wee

bit of help getting ready for Christmas.

We want to get off Santa's

naughty list, mister.

We would be proud to have you

join us as official elves.

lt's that wonderful time of year...

Oh, this is a bonny outfit!

Now, that's what l'm talkin' about!

We be jammin' now!

Eveyone's working

Morning 'til dawn

Eveyone's singing a happy song

Christmas is coming

Children are laughing

lt's that wonderful time of year

This is for you.

Well, what is it?

- For us?

- Yeah.

Girls, this is Gus.

Let's show him some Christmas cheer!

This is most joyous.

There's Christmas magic to spread.

Let's do this together, Santa Paws.

Now, Dasher, now, Dancer,

now, Prancer and Vixen!

On Comet, on Cupid,

on Donner and Blitzen!

Santa is coming

Sleigh bells above

Bringing his message of peace and love

Christmas is coming

Children are laughing

lt's that wonderful time of year

New York, New York.

Let there be kindness

Peace among all

Santa loves eveyone,

Iarge and small

Christmas is music

Christmas is magic

lt's that wonderful time of year!

Paws! Is that you?

lt's me, kids. The Great Christmas

Icicle brought me back.

- l'm Santa Paws now.

- We were so worried.

- Bud! l mean... Santa!

- Hey!

- It's so good to see you.

- It's good to see you all together.

Thank you so much, Santa.

You've changed our lives, really.

And you mine.

lsn't it amazing what can happen

when we spread love and kindness?

After all, that's what

Christmas is all about.

Yes.

- We have evemhing we ever wanted.

- Especially each other.

Yeah.

There is one other thing.

My mom's decoration! You found it!

Thank you, Santa Paws!

- Can we put it on the tree?

- Of course we can. Come here.

Right there. See?

- That looks perfect.

- Yes.

Well, l guess

we'll see you all next year.

Let's go, Santa Paws.

Mery Christmas to all of you.

Mery Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!

- Mery Christmas!

- Bye, Santa.

Love is home,

family and friends

Love will stay with us until the end

l can feel love in the air

l can see love flow eveywhere

When love is in your heart

Mr Stewart.

Come in, come in.

- Good day!

- Good day, Mrs Huckle.

l trust you mo have had

an eventful Christmas season.

Yeah, we certainly did, Mr Stewart.

So, how did we do with the stipulation?

Well, sir, we had

a few unexpected expenditures,

but as you can see,

Hucklebuckle Toys

made a profit of exactly one cent.

Well, then the store

is officially yours.

You're free to sell it,
