Words for Wednesday - Catch-up December 13 & 20 - First part.

This challenge started a long time ago. Now it has turned into a movable feast with Elephant's Child as our coordinator; and the Words provided by a number of people.

The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.

 It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.

So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.

I have a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully the next couple of days will see this story evolve.

We're back in the first year at the Unicorn Farm and continuing the story of the Sea Monster and the Locket from August and from December 6th.
As always I used the Words in the order they were given. I used only the crossed out words so far.

They made it home to The Farm before dinner. Today the Nisser served stew and gnocchi, a strange combination, but very tasty.
After dinner they met in the old chambermaids' room under the roof. It had over the months become the problem pit for Susan and her friends in times of need. Olav, Susan, Heidi, Tage and Lis met with My, Marit, Astrid and the two hippie sisters Fiona and Veronika. Those two had only recently joined the close knit group, but after an accident, involving Tage, a stick of dynamite and some unmade homework, they also were an accepted part of the team.
Heidi pulled the locket from her pocket and Lis and Tage told the story of the strange poem in Olav's book, the sea monster and the locket.
"We only miss him riding to Heaven in a fiery chariot," Astrid said, a teasing smile forming on her face. "I wonder if ..."
Tage interrupted. "Nope, no chariots here, only an old bucket with a periwinkle plastic handle.
They all broke out in laughter at this remark and when they got their breath back, Astrid said: "Yah, I admit, I had a hard time believing you, but where else could you have gotten such a locket; I mean look at it, it's overgrown with barnacles and stuff. It must have been at the bottom of the sea for years ans years."
"Let's open it," Heidi said.
"Wait," Veronika said. "Didn't you read the noteboard this morning? Lessons will start again in a fem minutes."
"To be blunt, no I did not," Tage said, and the rest of the apprentices either nodded or came with agreeing sounds
"What a luck we have mother Veronika to look after us wayward children," Olav said, which made Veronika gently elbow him and the rest begin laughing again.
Heidi put the locket back in her pocket, and Susan suggested that they met again after lessons.
"We sure will," Fiona said, speaking for them all, while she, Astrid, and Marit ran for the door. They had to be in the meadow for flying lessons.
The rest of the group left in a more orderly fashion, Tage extinguished the lights and closed the door before he ran down the stairs and reached the purple door across the corridor just a bit after Heidi, Lis and Olav.  
My slipped inside the blue door just seconds before Tähti arrived; and Susan, and Veronika reached the green dor at the end of the corridor at the same time as did Thora.
