This sequel is about a vacation they took for the big day. Hope you'll like it. Chapter 1 Mark was Santa's son who picked out Josh as his 'son'. In the 11 months Mark and Josh became father and son - Josh was enjoying his dad. Josh knew the elves and he loved feeding the reindeer, however, Josh didn't like the snow all year round. One day, Mark and Josh were cuddling in bed, when Josh said, "I love you, Santa daddy. I love the elves and reindeer, but I wish we were someplace else. Just us two on a south pacific island. I can't stand the snow all year round." Mark reached over and kissed Josh. "You my love are going with me to Trianglia. I was waiting to see if you could stand the North Pole. I love you, Santa -boy." Before Josh was going to ask where Trianglia is located, Josh's favorite elf, Dez, a male elf of 2,997 years old, but who looks like he is 14, came in with their breakfast. Dez said, "Mark, when are you going? It is ready anytime. Here's your breakfast." Dez set down the tray and went out of the room. Josh looked at Mark and said, "When are we going, Santa-daddy? Where is Trianglia?" Mark kissed him and said, "You are just like a boy at Christmas time, Santa-boy. Oh, guess who is going with me to deliver toys to the good boys and girls?" Josh looked at Mark, then said, "Hmm, the UPS driver?" Josh loves to kid his dad and yes UPS and FedEx do deliver to the North Pole. (Bet you didn't know that?!!) "I am going with you, Santa-daddy? Really?" Mark said, "Yes, you are. Come on lets eat breakfast. You want to get to Trianglia, right?" Mark kissed his son and then got out of bed. They sat down and ate their bacon, eggs and toast." During breakfast, Josh wanted to know where it was, since he couldn't find it on any maps. Mark said, "Magic, my son. Magic. You'll love it, Mom and dad are there." Josh smiled and said, "I know you are keeping me in suspense. I can't wait til we leave. I guess I need to get dressed." "Just put on your Speedos, love. We should be there in an hour. Are you ready, Santa-boy?" Mark asked. "Yes, Santa-daddy," Josh said. Josh put on his white Speedos and said, "Are you coming?" "No, I came in you last night, love," Mark said. He looked at Josh and smiled. "I loved that, Love. I love you in me!" Mark lifted Josh up into his hands and Mark carried him out of the bedroom. They walked to a black disk shaped object and Mark walked into it. Josh, was wondering what was going on, but before he said anything, Earth was in the rearview monitor. Josh looked at Mark and said, "Where are we going?" Josh looked out of the window, then said, "How long have we been out here? We just went past Pluto." Mark said, "We left 10 minutes ago, Love. We are going to Trianglia. We should be there in an hour. Trianglia is in the Polaris system. Trianglia is an Earth-like planet." "Is this magic, Love?" Josh asked. "Love, everyday is magic with you," Mark said. "Look over there, that is where are are going." Mark pointed to Polaris. On Trianglia, Nick looked at his wife and said, "Mark and Josh should be here soon. I'm glad I retired and gave Mark the business. I just couldn't handle the business anymore - I mean, the north pole operation was the smallest, but those Elves want to unionize. I heard the head of the Elves Toyworkers Union is endorsing Dean." Mrs. Claus, her name is Mary, looked at Nick and said, "No talking business when you see Mark, Nick. Don't worry about if the ETU endorsed Dean or Gephart. I want Mark and Josh to enjoy their vacation. I believe a week at 'Pueramare Lakus' would do wonders. Josh loves Mark, but he is down about the snow all the time." "I know Mary," Nick said. "I believe their condo unit, will be great. Mark is going to be surprised. It will be a family vacation for them." The phone rang, so Nick picked up. "Hello," he said into the phone. The voice said, "Dad, we are coming in. Did Mark get here yet?" "No, but they should be here. Remember, Earthlings don't know Santa is a family man. All they think is that Santa and Mrs. Claus lives at the north pole. Where do they think the elves came from. How's your wife and kids, J'Vinta." J'Vinta, which means Christmas in Jubbox, the language of Xulbon, said, "They can't wait to see Josh. I just hope Josh is going to be ok. Earthlings never met other HUMANOID spieces. Only the 'Greys' in sci-fi movies. 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' had other people, but come on. Where did they think they came from? Dad, don't say it!" Nick said, "Ho, ho,ho. I won't say it." Josh looked at Trianglia from space. Trianglia, like Earth, is a planet of 75% water and 25% land. Trianglia was an uninhabitable planet, when Latinus - the first people to settle Earth - inhabited Trianglia. Josh looked at Mark and said, "I might be the first Earthling on this planet!" Mark looked at Josh and said, "Nope. Want to say hi to my mom and dad, love? They should be expecting us." Mark called his dad on the phone. Josh looked at Mark, and thought, 'No?' Josh couldn't ask his dad, because he is on the phone. 'I guess it is magic - and LOVE. I mean, Polaris is 461 light years from us. But I'm here in the Polaris system.' Mark said, "We are landing, dad. Oh, good, Josh should meet his cousins. I think he doesn't believe he is NOT the first Earthling here. I didn't tell him, 700 Earthlings live on Trianglia." Mark looked at Josh and said, "We'll see you in 10 minutes." As soon as Mark shut off the phone, Josh wanted to know about him not being the first Earthling on the planet. Mark smiled at him and said, "Magic and UFOs, love. Mom and dad got us a nice Christmas present. It is a surprise for us both." Josh said, "Dad, thank you. I really love you." Josh didn't believe they have landed, until they saw Nick and Mary in the craft. Josh looked at Mark and said, "Hi grandma & papa. Dad, we landed already? Did we miss Christmas?" Mark said, "No, we didn't. We are on vacation for a week. We'll be home for Christmas. We are celebrating Noelius." Mark knew what Josh will be asking, so Mark said, "Trianglia celebrates Christmas, but it is a bit of the Earth and 4 other planets. You'll enjoy it, love." Mark kissed Josh. "Lets go!" Mark and Josh left the craft with Nick and Mary.
