“What am I going to do,” Prancer asked.
“I don’t know,” was the reply.
“You know I am still on probation for the Mississippi Incident of 2009. The legal eagles in SC Inc kept the incident out of the news, but the people in Pascagula know that something weird caused their church steeple to crash to the ground.”
“Wasn’t that Dasher’s fault?”
“Well, he was the one that combined rum cake with too much of Mrs. C’s egg nog, which is strictly forbidden in the RCC.”
“RCC?”
“The Reindeer Code of Conduct,” Prancer told Olive, the other reindeer. “So is the regulation, section 4, paragraph three that says if a reindeer’s vision gets bad enough they have to surrender their spot on the sleigh team.”
Olive had been biding her time to join the team for years and found this tidbit quite interesting.
“Does Rudolph Know?”
“No, if he did his beacon would flash non-stop!”
“Maybe you can keep it hidden a while longer.”
“I don’t know, this Flash that is replacing Dasher seems like a renegade. If he does something unusual and I make another mistake I am done for!”
“You worry too much! How long has your sight been affected?”
“About seven years now.”
Olive tried hard to suppress the smile, content the mustachioed one would have one large enough to compensate. She knew he had heard all of Prancer’s word through the transmitter disguised as a new brass bell around her neck.
