It was Season 4 - and season 4 was most unimpressed that it did not have a Xmas Episode! In fact - Season 4 was most adamant that a Xmas episode, placed directly after MHGM, would have saved Maddie and David's relationship and therefore the whole of Season 5! The Missing Link: 'Once in Royal David's City' Christmas was coming like an [glow=red,2,300] unstoppable[/glow] freight train churning out happy rhythms, decking the halls with holly and ensuring every home had a decorated tree with a tower of presents stacked underneath. Faces smiled against the odds, the grey sky was beaten by the festive lights and people found love at the bottom of the darkest soul. However, David Addison - who usually loved this time of year, gave a long, audible sigh. He was looking at the perfect gift for Maddie Hayes, whilst on the other hand, wondering if it was the right thing to do.

He held up the sexy black lingerie covered with little red hearts to the light and scrutinized, satarized and fantasized.
He smiled to himself, shook his head and muttered "Merry Christmas Maddie....huh! If I gave her this she would slam a few doors in my face and I've had all the slamming I can take for a while"
He put his hands in his pockets and sauntered out of the lingerie shop.
Suddenly he found himself twirling on the pavement caught up with two individuals who were obviously in a hurry to get away from someone.
Santa and Reindeer trampled over him and ran off down the street.
Having decided they were unstoppable, David picked himself up, BRUSHED himself off and walked across the road to the tune of "The weather outside is frightful......"

That little number with Maddie in it would be my perfect gift, David smiled to himself. He continued to walk along singing his song.David walked aimlessly for a few minutes. The last place David wanted to go was back to the office or home. David needed time alone. He needed to think over the past couple of days with Maddie. David decided to head to the mall to buy Christmas gifts for Terry and her new baby. He loved to spoil people at Christmas time with the perfect gift; especially women and children. He also loved to walk through the mall at Christmas Season. He loved seeing the little children all excited about visiting Santa. Suddenly, thoughts of the baby Maddie was carrying made him smile. He knew he would make a good father but did he want to put his heart on the line again with Maddie? She said she loved him the other day but knowing her that could change in a heartbeat. He didn't trust her. He was torn apart. His HEART was telling him one thing while his brain was whispering another. His heart was the louder one. His heart was the one he was listening to when the festive display in the jewelry store window caught his eye.
David strode over to the counter and the first thought that came to his mind was "This would make the perfect gift for Maddie." He brushed this notion aside as thoughts began racing through David's mind like Santa and his Reindeer making their rounds on Christmas Eve. He was so deep in thought that he jumped when the sales clerk asked "May I help you, sir. I see you have your eye on the perfect gift for your special lady."

David looked at the clerk and smiled ruefully.
DAVID: Jewelry really isn't in my budget this year.
He turns his empty pockets inside out.
DAVID: In fact, I might need to get back to you around the millenium.
The clerk smiles.
CLERK: Let me give you a word of advice.
She looks around carefully.
CLERK: I could get fired for saying this, but.....jewelry is lovely, but most women would be happy with that look in your eyes. I think you've already given your heart to someone. I bet she doesn't need an expensive present.
David gives her a grateful smile, and exits the store with a new spring in his step.
DAVID (to himself): Just requires a little thought, a little IMAGINATION. Now what would be the best gift for Blondie Blonde?

Meanwhile Santa and Reindeer had stopped running. They were in a back alley arguing. Santa: Where's the ring? Reindeer: I told you..i stuck it in the inside lapel pocket of that guy we knocked over Santa: Great. He's gonna think Christmas has come early. A 400,000 dollar ring appearing like that. Reindeer: Well i thought the cops were on to us. It was either that or spend Christmas in jail. I don't look good in stripes. Santa: We need to get it back. I need you to use your imagination to hatch a plot. Reindeer: Ok but I need FOOD first. Let's grab a burger.

Santa: Only if its a cheeseburger! I love food at noon! Reindeer: Sure Santa Sure.
Santa and the Reindeer were actually 2 thieves who had been working in Santa Village in the mall to stake out the jewelery store directly opposite Santa's throne. They had hatched an elaborate plan to steal the diamond ring that was the pride of the store. All had been going great until that ridiculous mall cop had figured out what they had done. The police had been prowling the mall on the look out for them and the diamond. When that balding guy with the lovesick eyes had nearly walked in to them they used the opportunity to hide the ring in his pocket. Now, they were following him. They needed to get that ring back.
David hadn't been paying attention to where he was walking when he walked straight into Santa and that dopey looking reindeer. He was thinking, imagining, visualizing the perfect gift for Maddie. Something from his heart. David put his hand over his heart and felt something HARD. He reached into his pocket and was surprised to find a ring. David was no expert but even he could tell a real diamond when he saw one. "Where did this come from?" he remembered again his collision with Santa and suddenly felt uneasy.

David's mind is whirling......where did the ring come from...did he imagine this? Distractedly, he steps off the curb without looking.
A 1950 Oldsmobile travelling at a slow rate of speed, clips him, and he goes down, hard.
A little old lady exits the car, hobbling over to David and fussing. He is out, and not moving. Two policemen run towards the accident scene and one bends down to David, putting his head to David's chest.
Policeman: Ouch.......well, his heart is beating, but something poked me.
He reaches into David's inside pocket, and pulls out the huge sparkler.
Policeman: Would you take a look at that? Must be 10 carats. Something doesn't smell right here.....
David lets out a groan. His eyes flutter a few times, then roll back into his head. He is out again.
The policemen and the little old lady look concerned.
CUE DREAM SEQUENCE MUSIC.

'...it's...beginning to look a lot like xmas...' came the tune emanating from Santa's production line.
Santa's Chief Elfette: Well, looky here... something's amiss
Elf 1: What do you mean? There's never anthing amiss on this production line - everything is checked my ol' St Nick himself.
SCE: Look for yourself (she pointed at the line of toys on the line, making their way towards them to be boxed, wrapped and festooned with ribbons and bows)...
Elf1: Hmmm, well let's see. We got Barbies, we got Tressies, we got Sindy...we got- woah. What have we got here?
SCE: See - I told ya. It's on days like this that I wish I wasn't the chief Elf - I would like to pass this one on to my manager!
(They both stared hard at the unusual present making its way towards them: it was David Addison- and he was looking around wildly, trying to work out where he was)
David: Hey - can someone help me out here? I think I may have had one too many tequilas last night, I have no idea where I am and why the world won't stop spinning round!
Elf 1: You're spinning round because you're on Santa's toy production line (he sounded as bewildered as David).
SCE: You're very life-like and I'm sure that some poor kid out there will appreciate you - but I have to say that you're gonna take up a helluva lotta wrapping paper and ribbons!

David shook his head to try and clear it. He looked around him and couldn't believe he was actually in Santy Claus' toy factory. Christmas music was playing as elves bustled around; making toys and happily placing boxes with festive wrapping paper in Santa's bag.. "Wow!" he thought to himself this is great! Maybe, he would meet the head elf..jolly old St. Nick himself! "Hey elf man" David called to the nearest elf. "Could you help me out here?" Suddenly, a booming HO HO HO filled the room. "David Addison I presume!" Santa approached him with his hand extended in greeting. David was shocked that Santa knew him. David just nodded and eagerly shook Santa's hand. Santa looked David over carefully. "Yes," Santa acknowledged it's David Addison. "Excuse me Santa but how do you know me and why am I here?" Santa smiled "Seems you are on the top of one lovely lady's Christmas list." He smiled at David."And Santa always gives what good girls want." David smirked, "So do I Santa."

The elves begin to sing along with the music...think the land of munchkins....as they begin wrapping David in brightly colored paper.
Santa: I'm sure you do, David, but what Goldilocks wants for Christmas can't be bought with a pocket full of money. And only you can give it to her.
David looks closely at Santa and sees a twinkle in the jolly old man's eyes. His jaw drops slightly.
The elves raise his arms and wrap...raise his legs and wrap...one girl elf, who is smitten by David, ties a bow around his neck with dreamy little eyes. David tries to give her a polite smile, but he has something else on his mind.
David: How'd you --
Santa: Ho Ho Ho! I know more than most, like what this Maddie of yours really wants. You just have to belive you can give it to her.
David looks at the white-bearded man again, confused. Santa studies David closely.
Santa:(scratching his beard) Hmmm....(to the chief elf) Take him to the Snow Globe Safe--
David: Where?!
Santa:(to chief elf) Set up 1985 to ....about....1988...yes, yes....1988....and don't start without me.
David: Start? Start what? Santa?!
The elves continue singing as they roll David down a long ramp...
David: Wait a second! Santa? How will I know? How will I know when I've found it?! Wait!
We hear David mumble...how will I know?... How will I know?

All of the sudden David is seeing images of him and Maddie together over the past several years going threw his head...
David starts to stir...how will I know?...How will I know?...He starts to shake his head and gradually starts to come around...he can hear Maddie in the backround.
Maddie: David....she is holding his hand, stroking his cheek, slowly calling his name...Daaavidddd....
David starts to come around...slowly opening his eyes...trying to focus...Maddie? Maddie? How will I know?
Maddie: David, wait, take it easy. Lay back down. You got a nasty bump on your head. You're in the hospital. You got hit by a car. Are you feeling ok? You kept calling my name asking how will you know something. What does that mean?
David: Huh? I have no idea. What happened again?
Maddie: Slumping down and giving him a hug. Just shut up stupid...come here. I was so worried about you. Ever since I got the call from the hospital all I could think about was you and if you were alright.

Maddie hugged David and sat back on her seat. She moved his jacket which was hanging on the chair so that she could sit down properly and the DIAMOND ring fell out of the pocket and bounced along the floor under the bed. Maddie opened her eyes wide with surprise. David felt a little stupid! Maddie "Why is that in your pocket David" David "Errr Well you see.... I......erm.....I saw it and it reminded me of you so I bought it for you...was going to give it to you for christmas but now you have spoilt the surprise" Maddie "But David, it's beautiful and must have cost a lot of money.. I don't understand...(In a serious voice)? What does it mean?"

David: (sighs) Maaadie, Maaadie, Maddie - why do you always have to know what things mean? Don't you think they (he looks out at the forum) are fed up with you over-thinking things this season?
Maddie: Nice try David (She smiled at him)- even I know that ring is beyond your budget- hell, it's beyond both of our budgets pooled together...
David: Darn it...now we'll be forced to solve a mystery; find the owner of the ring; have a chase on a sleigh and end the show with me and you under the mistletoe!
Maddie: That's a lot to fit into one Xmas episode (her eyes widened).
David: (wincing a little as he sat up).
Maddie: David what do you think you're doing?
David: Well Maddie, I think I'm trying to get up because we have a show to deliver...
Maddie: Don't be stupid David!
David: Maddie if I'm not stupid, they'll take us off the air...now are you gonna help me to break out of here? (he batted his eye-lashes at her and threw her his sideways grin that always moved her Earth).

Maddie: (throwing David a dirty look to hide her fluttering heart) "David! You are not leaving this hospital! You have a nasty bump on your head! You were knocked out. The doctor is insisting you stay overnight for observation." David: (smirking) "Only if you stay with me. I'm sure we can find something for you to observe." Maddie: (ignoring his innuendo) "So tell me how you gained possession of such an expensive ring. Deliver the truth Addison!" David recounts to Maddie his encounter with the Santa and reindeer in the mall. "I guess they must have slipped me the ring." Maddie: "This is a matter for the police." David: "Maddie. Maddie. Maddie." he drawled "You might be right. The diamond must have been STOLEN from the jewelry store at the mall. I guess there really isn't a case. Or is there?" Maddie: (shaking her head) "Let's talk about this more in the morning. Try and get some sleep." David: (grabbing her hand) "Will you stay with me? I really hate hospitals." Maddie: "Of course partner." David closed his eyes and began to remember the dream he had when he was knocked out. "How will I know? How will I know what she wants?" he kept repeating silently. He began to fall asleep:How will I know?" he mumbled in his sleep "Maddie, Maddie" Maddie wished she knew what David needed to know and why did he keep calling her name. Maddie was settling down for the night in the not so comfortable chair when Santa Claus burst into the room, a frazzled reindeer at his heels.

Maddie "DAAAVVIIIIIIDDDD" Santa grabs Davids jacket and the ring just as David jumps out of the bed and tries to stop him. Santa (to the reindeer) "Hey Doe - get this guy off of me and open the door" Reindeer (to Santa) "Ok Ray - i'm on it." A struggle takes place and Maddie and David manage to immobalise both Santa and the Deer. David pointing to the reindeer "Doe a deer? A female deer" then to Santa "Ray, a drop of golden sun" then to himself "me a name I call my self, far a long long way to..." Santa pulls a gun David "Ruuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn" He grabs Maddie and a chase scene ensues. Maddie whilst being dragged down the corridor " David, I had no idea you were a Sound of Music fan" David "me, yeah, love those little Von Trapps! there's got to be more to this stolen ring than we realise"
