I don't think it's an asteroid.

I slumped into the comfort of my beanie chair and blew the small steam from the mug in my hands. "Nothing can get better than a quiet night with a cup of hot cocoa and no work" I moaned in relief finally having a moment to myself but before I could even take a sip of my cocoa the buzz of my door bell rang unpleasantly making me spill a bit of cocoa on my white leggings.

I growled as I placed my mug on the coffee table and stomped my way towards the door, I yanked it open and shouted "What!?" there stood my not amusingly friend, Miley. "Grumpy on Christmas Eve? I might as well stop by since there is nothing to do at my apartment" she said as she strutted inside without me inviting her. I closed the door and turned around to see her placing the Chinese take out on the coffee table and she asked "Hot cocoa? seriously? It is not even that cold outside"

"Please, I just want a peaceful Christmas Ever. Is that too hard to ask for?" I whined as I plopped onto the sofa. "I saved your ass woman, Cole wanted to come over and surprise you but luckily I told him that me and you are having girl time" she said, I rolled my eyes at the thought of Cole. "Why can't he see that I am not the type of girl to settle down?" I asked "Maybe because sooner or later you might have to settle down. Not only you but me as well and Cole is willing to give you a life that you so 'desire' " She said sarcastically.

I met Cole a few years ago when I just became a stripper, he saw me danced and said that my stripper name suits me. You see when we strip at the club, we have to wear these masks to protect our identity but unfortunately Cole found out who I really was and Eric, who was our loving boss and our bodyguard warned him not to tell anyone about my identity or else he'll pay the price. We signed on it so he has a contract. Cole wanted to be more than friends but as you can see I have commitment issues thanks to my father who is an abusive jerk, he used to beat me and my mother and I couldn't take it so I called the police and he was sent to prison but after a year my mother got into a car accident that took her life away.

"So, what do you want to do?" Miley asked as she walked to the kitchen, knowing her she was looking for some beer. She got the beer out and said "You know that we have to work tomorrow" I groaned as I made my way towards her ignoring the cocoa that was now cold and making my way to get a beer as well. "Who the hell comes to Las Vegas for Christmas!?" I shouted as I sat at the counter with Miley and started drinking beer. Miley looked at her watch and said "Oh! Oh! Oh! It's midnight! Merry Christmas Angel!! Make a wish-- hmmm.. I wish we would have enough money to take a vacation very soon"

"Pfft.. you still make those silly Christmas wishes?" I snorted, she scowled at me but quickly said "They are not silly! Now quick make your wish before the clock turns to 12:01" I put a finger to my chin to show her that I am thinking but I already knew my wish. "I wish a miracle would happen like a spice of adventure with a tad of danger but all in all I would crave for it, maybe an event would happen or someone will wa--" before I could even finish my sentence a loud noise that pierced our ears painfully came from the living room and a sudden impact that pushed us off our stools and of course our screams along the way.

The room or more like my flat was fogged up with dust. Me and Miley coughed from the dust and started trying to look for the source of this unknown action. "What-on-earth-was-that!?" Miley asked as we tried looking around but the dust was too thick to see through that we had to wait for a few minutes for it to disappear but as I look at the ceiling my jaw dropped and my eyes widen. "Miles! Miles! What happen to my ceiling!?" I panicked, She glanced up to the ceiling and her reaction was almost the same "Holy!" she exclaimed as she covered her mouth with one hand. "Do you think it is an alien?" Miley asked

"Don't be silly Miles" I replied back "It could be an asteroid" she suggested but I sighed as I thought of what could have caused this and how much would it cost to repair everything including my coffee table that might be squashed by the source of the falling object. "Only one way to find out" I said as I grabbed Miley's hand and slowly made my way towards the center where the object may be. As soon as the dust cleared up and we were now in the center both of our jaws were dropped at we stared at the object-- no, person who fell possibly from the sky. "I don't think that's an asteroid" I said to Miley

"Maybe he was on the roof?" Miley asked, her voice giving out that she was scared. The person lying unconscious on the floor looked like one of those fancy dancers in one of the bars. He had long golden hair and he was quite tall. He wore a wooden looking hat on his head or more like a crown, his clothes were dark navy blue tunic like what people wore back in the days and his trousers matched his tunic with black boots in the middle of his tunic were silver looking branches that looks as it was holding the tunic together. His coat was a dark red and it reached all the way to his feet. He wasn't an ugly man nor does he look like a murderer but he looked strict or he looked like a snob but the weirdest thing that me and Miley ever laid eyes on and made our head tilt side wards was his ears.

They were pointed.

"Do you know this person Miles?" I asked still scared of the man lying in front of me who happened to smash my coffee glass table and my couches and beanie bags were covered in concrete dust and wood. "Nuh-uh, I have never seen this man or woman nor have I ever slept with this person" she replied, I was too scared to roll my eyes at her. "M..Maybe he is the New Santa Claus?" Miley tried to brighten the mood but we both knew it wasn't going to happen. "I'd go back to the alien idea" I said even though I sound crazy, the man before me looked even more crazy even with his eyes closed. Suddenly me and Miley let out a blood curling scream because

the man or woman's eyes snapped open.
