   Pure white snow began to fill the night on Christmas Eve in 1999, as the neighbors of Forest Green Street plugged their christmas lights from their roofs for the rest of the night as they either went off to visit other neighbors, meet some family members, or just stay home and enjoy a hot cup of hot cocoa, sitting on a comfortable couch right by the warm fire. Lights flickered, and brightened the houses, the streets, the whole entire neighborhood, cats and dogs settling themselves by the warm fire as they lay inside their owner's homes. The cool breeze blowing ever so peaceful and smoothly, and the christmas trees, oh the christmas trees, they stayed still as it's lights lid up the tree, the ornaments dazzeling it, and the smell of a Christmas Tree was ever so delightful. Let us begin our story that all began in a little mansion at the end of the neighborhood of Forest Green Street.
Inside the mansion was a little girl, still a toddler with beautiful long dark brown hair, with a little black headband and a red bow on her hair. She wore a very fancy christmas red sleeved blouse, along with a long dress-like green skirt, with white pantyhose and black doll shoes. Jewels she wore like a beautiful little princess, a pure gold bracelet on her right wrist, white pearl earings, along with a white beaded necklace around her little toddler neck. She began to dance around while the music played in the living room, as her parents and her grandparents watched her with cheer and joy.
"You dance so lovely, Melindasi my dear!" said her grandmother as she applauded from little Melindasi's finish.
"She dances as well as her mother!" said her grandfather, as he patted his wife on the lap. Melindasi's mother, Melissa, began to blush at the comments from her parents. Little Melindasi curtsied, and ran to her mother's lap, kissing her on the cheek and began to hug her like a teddy bear.
"I'm very flattered mother and father, really I am. Though it is true that my angel can dance as well as me." She said, as she kissed her daughter on the forehead. "I just can't believe that my darling angel is growing up so fast! It's as if yesterday I began to give her her first bottle." said Melindasi's father.
"Oh hush, Alvin dear, she's only five years old, she'll have plenty of time to stay as a little angel before she turns to a teenager. Isn't that right, Melindasi dear?"
She put her hands on her hips, and nodded a quick nod. "Yeah daddy, I have plenty of time!" The grown-ups couldn't help but laugh at Melindasi's remark. She began to let go of her mother, and ran towards the christmas tree to open her first present on Christmas Eve. Excited and surprised as she was, her parents agreed to not open any presents before christmas. "Oh please mommy and daddy, can I please open just one teensie-weensie present, please?" asked little Melindasi, as she got down on her knees and begged as much as she can. Giving her parents the puppy-dog-pout, both Melissa and Alvin couldn't handle such cuteness, and both smiled at each other from Melindasi's playful tricks.
"Oh for heaven's sake, let the poor child open just one present!" snapped her grandmother.
"Oh alright, but just one present for tonight, no exceptions!"
"Hurray!" shouted little Melindasi, as she began to wave her arms around and dance crazy. She then bent down to the ground and looked under the christmas tree to find the perfect present to open, but had such a hard time chosing whether to open the biggest one or the littlest one. Not knowing, and guessing if any of them have either toys, or just new clothing. As she scratched the top of her head, she turned to her happy parents, and groaned.
"There are so many presents, it's hard to choose! Can you help me mommy?" asked Melindasi. Her mother giggled, and bent down onto the ground to help her daughter.
"Alvin dear, isn't there more than 12 presents lying around here?" asked Melissa. Once Melindasi heard the words "more than 12 presents", her eyes widened with excitement, and smiled her biggest smile. "There's more!?! Oh boy!"
"Hmm, perhaps you're right my dear, we have one more present lying around this house. But where could it be?" Alvin asked sarcastically, as the both of them began to make her feel more excited than ever. "Oh good greaf." said her grandfather as he folded his arms and shook his head. Alvin got up from his seat, and began to crawl onto the floor to find the 13th present that was hiding from little Melindasi. She began to wait and sat down on the floor as she bouned a little on her knees, biting her lip, and making such crazy noises under her breath.
"Oh look! Here it is!" Alvin said finally, as he picked up a big round green box, covered with the most fanciest red bow Melindasi has ever seen. He walked towards his wife, and handed over the box as she carefully placed it right in front of the excited little Melindasi. They sat back down on the couch, as both parents and grandparents watched in patients as they waited for her to open the box. Clearly it wasn't wrapped with wrapping paper, so it made Melindasi even more curious, along with her grandparents as they began to ask so many questions to Melissa and Alvin about the mysterious box.
"You'll see, mother and father." said Melissa. Suddenly, the box began to wiggle a little, making Melindasi bounce a little and gasped. As she grabbed hold of the lid, she waited 5 seconds to catch her breath, and finally opened the box. Smiling as big as ever, her hands shaking a little, and her heart beating ever so fast, she began to thank her parents so much. "Oh thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou mommy and daddy!!!"
"What, what is it dear!?" asked the curious grandparents, getting a closer look as Melindasi grabbed hold of the creature that was inside the box.
"It's a puppy! A pretty little puppy, oh thank you so much mommy and daddy!" said Melindasi, as she cradled the little puppy in her arms, licking her cheek ever so joyfully, and barking little barks.
Her grandparents didn't know what to say, but gasp in astonishment. "What a precious little German Shepherd!" said her grandmother.
"I hear German Shepherds are great watch dogs once they become adults, excellent choice for a christmas present!" said her grandfather.
"Well it's actually her birthday present, we couldn't give her the puppy in time because the mother was still in labor and all. Plus the pups had to be well cared and fed before they were being sold. So we tended to wait for awhile til the puppies were finally ready to be bought." said Melissa.
"Well, I have to say, this is such a wonderful birthday gift for the sweet little angel." said her grandmother with such delight.
As Melindasi began to cradle the little puppy, she kissed his little nose and turned to her parents, and smiled.
"So, what's his name going to be since he is now your puppy...and of course your responsability?" asked the joyful mother, hugging her husband with such happiness from her little happy daughter, smiling and 'Awwing" at the adorable sight. She hesitated for a second, and finally a name came to her mind.
"I think I'll call him...Charlie. Little Charlie Barkin."
