** The Believers ** ** The End ** ** By: Abbie, Anna, Jessica, Melanie **
 * Do you believe in Santa? Well, Marcus Grumpy, an __arrogant__ video maker, from New Jersey, didn’t believe in Santa. He didn’t like Santa because he had a bad childhood and didn’t get the present from Santa he always wanted. Santa was a __lofty__ and __appealing__ man with red and white __apparel__. Marcus was always on the naughty list. Since he hated Santa so much he __hatched__ the idea to make a video. He sold the video and it brainwashed the children not to believe in Santa anymore. **
 * When he __unveiled__ it, everyone started to watch the video. All the children started to __boycott__ Santa. It was __incredible__ how all this happened by just a video. Santa was still __affectionate__ for the children even though they were all on the naughty list. Every child was on it except for one little girl named, Lucy Goodman. The parents had __affection__ for their children and noticed something strange about them. It seemed like they had stopped believing in Santa Clause. All the parents got together at the town square and Lucy came too. **
 * The idea __emerged__ to Lucy and all of the parents to __integrate__ a group called the “Believers.” They wrote a letter to Santa about the group. He thought it was a very good plan and wanted everyone to be a __contributor__. He __declared__ it to his elves about the plan and they all agreed. The plan was to __detain__ the kids from the video and __eclipse__ it out of their lives. They will also be too busy playing with their new toys. **
 * Their plan __triumphed__ Marcus Grumpy in the video and __attained__ their goal of making the children believe in Santa again. A few years later Santa wrote a letter to Marcus Grumpy. Marcus Grumpy wrote back and said he would try to be good this year. When Christmas came around Marcus was on the nice list. Santa __extended__ the gift that Marcus always wanted. Marcus had a __ceremony__ to say sorry to all the children, parents, and Santa. **
