A CORRS CHRISTMAS


by The Corrs fans of Shania.Net http://www.shaniaforums.com/smile.gif


"What the hell do ya mean, all flights are cancelled," Jim Corr shouted into his cell phone.

He and the girls were crowded together in one of the many generic limousines that they had ridden in during their ten-year career.

"Cancelled," Sharon shouted angrily.

"No Way," Caroline groaned.

"Cripes! What are we going to do now," asked Andrea.

Jim gave his usual growl of annoyance and handed Sharon her cell phone.

"So," She asked.

"So nothing. We are stuck here in Dublin. Our plane, along with all the other have been grounded because of the weather."

"So how are we suppose to get back to Dundalk, catch a bus," Sharon asked.

"Well darned if I know," said Jim,"I can't do anything about it."

As they two elder Corr's argued Andrea stared out the tinted window into the snowy evening. She was so captivated by the strange beauty of the winter evening that she didn't hear Jim & Sharon's argument or Caroline crying to Frank on the phone.

It was then that Andrea spotted something in the snow. She gasped out loud causing her sibilings to stop their arguing.

"Oh my God! Look at this.....

[loonecho]

The others are looking out of the window too. But they dont see anything.

There, behind that tree! Look good, something is moving there, I dont know what it is.

Still the others dont see anything.
Jim: Well, we look tomorrow, its to dark and foggy right now. And its cold, so I dont wanna take a look.

But Andrea doesnt want to wait till its morning, so shes going outside to take a look.

Caroline goes further crying to Frank on the phone, and Jim and Sharon are going to bed.
They dont see whats happening outside.......

"Where are ye going Andrea," Jim asked as Andrea threw open the limo door.

"Andrea jane Corr, you are going to freeze,"Sharon warned her.

Andrea said nothing but gave them a wink as she quickly closed the limo door and headed out into the snow. There was a large crowd of people huddled together surrounding a man holding a set of car keys.

"Ok, 2000 is as low as I am willing to go folks. Most of you won't be able to make it out of Dublin by plane. So this is your last chance."

"But 2000 is crazy," argued one woman. "I just spent that much for my flight out of here and now I'm stuck."

The crowd began to disperse leaving Andrea stnading there staring at the car keys in the man's hand. She knew that their limo driver had orders not to drive out of the city and that there was no way he would even consider driving them all the way out to Dundalk. She was thinking of her father and how much she missed him and wanted to spen Christmas with him. So she stepped forward and pulled her wallet out of her handbag.

"Oh so I have a buyer," the man said.

"Yes indeed. I have to get out of Dublin, no question."

He looked her over for a moment thinking that she looked familiar. Then he realized who she was.

"Aren't you that chick who plays violin with her sisters?"

Andrea smirked at him and handed him the money.

"No that's my older sister Sharon. I'm the chick who sings."

"Whoa there little one, no need to get riled up. C'mon let me show you the beauty you have just bought," he said.

Andrea followed him across the airport parking lot to an old Volkswagon van. MOst of it was painted an odd shade of orange and one of the fenders was blue. Andrea felt like kicking herself in the shin for buying the heap, but depserate times called for desperate measures.

"Please tell me it runs," she said to the man.

"Oh sure, I drove it from Cork. Now that I am here I don't need it, but I do need to money."

He unlocked the door and climbed into the drivers seat to start it up. It sounded exactly like what it was, an old lemon. But, if it could get them to Dundalk, it was worth it. Andrea shook hands with the hack salesmen and jumped into the drivers seat. Her feet barely touched the pedals, but she refused to be overwhelemed by that technicality. She pulled the seat forward and drove the van out into the parking lot...

Meanwhile Andrea's only sibling who was still awake, Caroline, hung up the phone, cursing the dirty old city for not letting her see her dear dad for Christmas. Frank had told her that it wasn't that bad, because now they could be alone during the holidays. But that wasn't what Caro wanted to hear. She hadn't seen her dad for such a long time and she missed Dundalk, her old friends and being out of the limelight for a while. Her last words were "I want to go to Dundalk, and I want to go there with you, don't argue with me now, I'm pissed!"

She looked at Jim and Sharon who were sleeping on the huge limo seats. "How can they sleep when we're stuck in Dublin?" she was thinking. She looked outside the window. Suddenly she saw an ugly old orange car park besides their limo. The driver's door was opened - and out came Andrea.

"Oh my god!" screamed Caroline, and Sharon woke up! "What's happening?" her older sister asked. Then she looked outside the window as well and burst out laughing! Caro was still confused. "That's the ugliest car I've ever seen, and Andrea isn't even allowed to drive! She still has her learner's license!"

"What's going on?" asked a very sleepy Jim. "Follow me brother", said Sharon. They opened the door and got off the limo. Andrea was looking at her siblings with a proud smile on her face. "See, we're going to Dundalk!" she said. They all laughed. "Hey, do you have a better idea? It's our only chance and you know it!" "Okay", said Sharon, "but Andie, please let Jim or Caroline drive, they have their licenses at least!" "But.." "No Andie, Danger Dizzy, you have heard what your sister says and she's the boss, you know!", Jim said. "HEY!!!", Sharon laughed.

"Okay, let's go!" They got all their suitcases from the limo and packed them into the ugly car. Then Caroline said: "Uhm... Jim, would you mind picking up Frank at his apartment?" "Whoohoo", said Jim, "sure, I'm glad for every guy here, three sisters can be so annoying!" He laughed and Caroline grabbed his cap and pulled it over his face.

Then they all got on the car and Jim started the engine...

CRAP!!!!! This piece of crap broke!!! There they were STUCK!!!! Dundalk was getting farther and farther out of there minds, what we're they gonna do? Then all the sudden, a white limmo pulled up, who was inside?? WESTLIFE!!! Kian said, OMG!!! I love you guys!! I'm like your biggest fan. By this time Andrea was seriously ticked. She said, you know what, i think you guys suck, boyzone scores higher than you every day, that latest CD you have, i can't hardly listen to it, it's like hearing our worst ballad hundreds of times over! But, since we are in a bind, i'll be glad to include you in a duet on our next LP, if you help us get to Dundalk that is. Wait a minute, jim said. Do you think i'm getting in the car with those creeps? Shove it Jim, said Sharon, i want to get home and see dad. So they all got in the car and started on there way to Dundalk, or they thought they were at least. Kian said, allright, I'll get you tickets but, you have to come play one number with us first. It's for the Anti-American music in Ireland committee. I know that you guys wouldn't get along, but at least we will make our point. Forget that, said Caroline, who had been quiet since the beginning. (*your love playing in the background*) Could somebody turn that crap off!!! said Jim. Listen nicky said, we can help you but drop the attitude, your not as good as you think. All the sudden, the driver said he we are, and for your protection, i'll be in the back waiting for you. All of the sudden......

(Loonecho is actually a little bit confused, because she doesnt know what Westlife is doing in this story, they really suck!)

All of a sudden something really fast happens, but Westlife is gone.
Pfew, says Andrea, we have survived that too!

Yeah, Jim, bring us to Dundalk, and fast, and dont forget picking up Frank, because I really miss him! Says Caro.

Oh God, says Sharon, here we go again. Hup Jim, go with it, because Caro cant handle it any longer.

So they were on there way to Dundalk, ......

The newly dubbed "Corrs Mobile" made it's way through the snowy, Dublin streets to Frank's flat.

"Where is the guy,"Jim asked impatiently.

"I'll go get him,"Caro said jumping out of the van. As was Caro was walking towards the buiding FRank appeared. They began to run towards the snow to eachother. Andrea and Jim began to laugh. The sound of Sharon's violin caused them to turn and watch as she played the schmaltzy lover's theme from "Dr. Zhivago". They turned back to the window in time to see Caro slip and fall into the snow as Frank slipped trying to pick her up. The funny moment and the music made the scene even more comical. Caro & Frank hobbled to the car as Sharon put her violin away as the three sibilings shared a scretive and playfull smile.

"Hey guys,"Frank said taking his seat in the car.

"Hey Frank,"Jim said, fighting a gust of laughter.

Everyone was packed away in the car as Jim cranked up the heater and reved the engine.

"By the way, where did you guys get the sports car," Frank asked.

"We sort of jacked it from Wetslife,"Andrea giggled.

"I won't ask anymore,"Frank said holding up his hand.

"Dundalk Ho," Jim cried as they sped off into the night.

They drove outside of Dublin,all laughing and singing Christmas Carols. Sharon had finally managed to get a hold of Gavin who was back in Dublin with his family. Jim had finally relaxed into his role as the family chauffeur and was quite proud of the way he was handling the icy roads. But, the sound of sirens behind them pushed the wind right out of his proud sails...
