Chapter 1 - Part one

Kei bounded down the stairs of the small house, blonde hair flying out beneath her denim
cap. "IT'S DECEMBER! IT'S DECEMBER! IT'S
DECEEEEMBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR
RR!!!!!!!" She cried happily, taking the steps two at a time. WHAP! And, ran into Leon.
Leon looked down at the blonde who was now rubbing her face in pain. "What are you
so happy about, Squirt?" He asked.
Kei giggled. "BECAUSE it's December Squall-san!" She said happily, bouncing back to
her feet.
Leon rolled his eyes. "For the LAST time, it's LEON, and what's the big deal?"
Kei's eyes widened, and she looked like she was mortally offended. "Cause it's only a
few days until Christmas!" She cried. "How could you forget?" Her eyes narrowed slightly and
she poked Leon in the chest. "...I Know what the problem is." Kei stated. "YOU don't have
ENOUGH Holiday SPIRIT!"
Leon shook his head slightly, "Whatever..." He mumbled, plopping down on the couch
and turning on South Park.
"OH! SOUTH PARK!" Kei cried.
"Nuh uh, no shows that involve constant cursing for you. We enough problems without
tainting the big mouth of yours." Yuffie stated, grabbing Kei by the hood.
"But I wanna watch South Park!" Kei whined.
"Uh.... no." Yuffie stated. "Now go help Aerith or Something." She stated, pushing Kei in
the direction of the kitchen.
Kei rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll tell AERITH about the DECEMBER cheer, and SHE'LL get
to have ALL the fun...I'll just leave you to your stupid TV show..." Kei stated.
Yuffie giggled. "Whatever you say Kei."
"Hey, you'll see! I'll make everyone in this house get excited about Christmas, and we'll
have the best Christmas ever!" Kei said with a grin, bounding into the Kitchen to see if she
could find anyone to announce the Decemberisms to.
Just then Tori came in and held open the door for Koji who had her hands full. "Hi
guys!" Koji said setting a small box down on a table. "I figured since it's almost Christmas I'd
go out and get cappuccino's for everyone 'cept me!" She said opening the box and setting
the miscellaneous cappuccinos out.
Tori walked over and selected a chocolate one. "Mmmmm Kei, these are good!" she
said taking a sip.
Kei's eyes widened. "That's what I've been saying ALL along, HOW can you just be
saying that NOW!?"
Koji sighed. "They don't taste good at all,"
Tori laughed. "I was just being sarcastic Kei. I figured since you weren't in here I would
help you come faster." She grinned.
Kei sighed as she sipped her Cappuccino. "It's not fair! I'm not THAT immature that I
shouldn't be allowed to watch South Park.... I'm fourteen!" She grumbled.
Aerith laughed a little as she walked in. "They don't let you watch it because they know
you'll repeat every single little phrase said on the show." She said.
Kei grumbled. "I would not!" Aerith laughed again. "Kei, we all know you. Yes you would."
"You don't need any of that swearing either, right Leon!" Koji said sitting down on the
couch next to Leon.
Kei blinked from back in the Kitchen. "HEY!? How come SHE gets to watch it?!?!?"
"She doesn't repeat everything she hears," Tori said and promptly sat down to watch the
show.
Kei growled. "What is it!? Pick on Kei day!?" She cried, jumping up and down in the
kitchen while Cid walked by.
"YEAHH! SOUTH PARKS ON!" Cid cheered.
Kei sighed. "...Guess so..."
Koji turned around in her seat to look at Kei. "Why do you have to worry... Its December"
she grinned and turned around again.
Kei perked up instantly. "...Fine...Maybe I'm not mature enough to watch TV with you
guys, but at least I'm not so 'Mature' that I don't get excited over Christmas." She stated. "I'm
gonna go do something..." She walked out the door.
"Anyone happen to know what we're going to do for Christmas?" Yuffie piped up after
awhile.
Tori shrugged. "Exchange gifts and watch TV all day?"
Leon shrugged, "Drink alcoholic beverages all day until we puke our guts out?" He
suggested.
"That sounds good." Cid stated. Aerith whacked them both over the head. "No drinking."
She stated.
Koji laughed. "I'd let them do it, all they'll do if feel really miserable the next day," Koji
shook her head. "I still don't know why you would want to drink in the first place though."
Cid stared at Koji like she was crazy. "Why do you need a reason!?"
"Cause drinking is stupid." Yuffie stated.
"...It's a GUY thing, okay?" Leon stated, leaning back.
Koji shrugged. "Whatever."
Tori blinked. "But I've seen girls do it before!"
Yuffie sweatdropped. "Yes, but it's mostly a Male thing...just don't question it Tori, it's
really confusing..."
Tori sighed and leaned back against her chair.
"Well I've had enough swearing for the day," Koji said getting up, "Time to go find out
what Kei is doing!"
Kei was sitting in her room, watching the Invader Zim Christmas special on TV. "BOW
DOWN! BOW DOWN! BEFORE THE POWER OF SANTA! OR BE CRUSHED! BE
CRUSHED! BYYYYYYY HIS JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!" Kei sang along.
Koji walked in the door. "I see someone found something to do" she grinned.
Kei looked over and nodded, going back to singing. "BOW DOWN! BOW DOWN!
BEFORE THE POWER OF SANTA! OR BE CRUSHED! BE CRUSHED! BYYYYY HIS
JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!"
Koji walked over and sat down beside Kei. "So, what do you want to do for Christmas?"
Kei grinned. "I wanna decorate the whole house, and buy presents for everyone, and
haul Squall to that Christmas party we got invited to, and open presents on Christmas
morning, and hang mistletoe for you and Squall, and...and... YEAHH!"
Koji sweatdropped. "I think that last part is a little much Kei."
Kei giggled. "No it isn't! I'm gonna make sure everyone has the best Christmas ever!"
"I'm not going to kiss..." Koji cleared her throat nervously, "Him! But we do have to keep
him and Cid with us, I'm sure you'll know what they'd do if they were alone." She grinned.
Kei giggled. "Yeah! Maybe for Christmas I should get them Sake, the only alcoholic drink
they can probably drink without going insane."
"You should get Leon something that would make him more excited, but not insane" Koji
smiled.
Kei giggled again. "Of course, I'm gonna get everyone the best Christmas presents ever."
"You could get Leon and Cid the entire south park collection and they would be happy,"
Koji laughed.
Kei laughed. "You never know."
Koji shrugged. "So, what are ya watching?"
Kei grinned. "The invader Zim Christmas special...the most HORRIBLE Christmas ever!"
"I can tell you've seen it before by the way you were singing along with it" Koji grinned.
Kei nodded. "Yup.... GO GIR!"
Koji blinked. "This show is much funnier then south park."
Kei shrugged. "I guess so." She said as a commercial came on.
"No, it is much funnier. I bet Tori would like it. I'll go get her!" Koji said jumping up and
running out the door and down the stairs. "Tori I've got something to show you."
Tori blinked and looked at Koji. "Can't it wait, we're in the middle of the best part!"
Koji frowned, walked over to Tori, and grabbed her arm. "That can wait," she said
dragging Tori by the arm all the way up the stairs. Koji opened the door. "I had to drag her
away from the 'best part' " She said grinning.
Tori frowned, "Well it was the best part!" Koji rolled her eyes and pointed to the TV, which
was playing a commercial for hooked on phonics. Tori raised and eyebrow, "Do I really
need to learn how to read that bad?!"
Koji giggled. "No, it's the show on TV, not the commercial," she said sitting down next to
Kei again.
"Bow down.... bow down...before the power of Santa!" Kei chanted.
Tori looked at Kei sarcastically "Eh?"
"OR BE CRUSHED! BE CRUSHED! BYYYYYY HIS JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!"
Tori sweatdropped. "So... what is it that you want to show me?"
Kei pointed to the TV, where the show was coming back on. "WATCH!"

~The next day~

Kei bounded down the stairs the next morning. "MOOORRRNINGGGGGG!"
"Good morning, Kei!" Tori said looking up from her breakfast.
"Mornin' Tori!" Kei said, jumping into a chair.
"Koji's been out all morning, probably looking for Christmas presents. She got up early
just to do it." Tori said looking back to her breakfast.
Kei grinned. "Which is EXSACTLY what I'm gonna do!" She declared.
Leon's eyes widened. "You're NOT going alone!" He declared. "You'll end up destroying
at least half of the city knowing you!"
Tori looked up at Leon. "So who do you suggest goes with her?"
Kei grinned. "I'll take SQAULL TO THE MALL!.... HEY THAT RHYMED!" She said,
punching her fist in the air.
Leon's eyes widened. "NO!"
Tori laughed. "He probably doesn't want to get hurt."
Kei giggled. "Maybe we can get him a job as the mall Santa!"
"...I...uh.... can't...go...I have to do something.... very...important..." Leon stated, eyes
shifting round the room.
Tori raised and eyebrow. "Like finding Cid and drinking all day? I'd send Aerith after
you!"
Leon growled. "No, not that! Christmassy stuff, okay!?"
Tori grinned. "Oh! Like presents and mistletoe!?"
Leon rolled his eyes. "Maybe, maybe not." He stood up. "I'm just too busy, okay?"
Tori shrugged and went back to her cereal, "You're the boss."
Leon rolled his eyes again and pulled on his leather jacket. "I'm going out." He stated
and walked out the door.
Tori giggled. "I think I got him mad."
Kei laughed. "Everything make's Squall-san mad. It's his job."
Tori leaned back in her chair, having finished her breakfast. "I have NO clue what to get
Leon for Christmas," She sighed.
Kei giggled. "Just try and catch Koji and wrap her in a box, that'll make 'em BOTH
happy!"
"Do you know how embarrassed Koji would be!?" Tori laughed. "But... We could try and
do that... just for fun!" She added.
Kei cackled. "Yes...or we could just hang mistletoe everywhere!"
"Leon would be SO confused... He still doesn't know" Tori grinned.
Kei snorted. "Yeah right, he's just hiding it."
Tori stood up and took her bowl and spoon to the dishwasher. "I wouldn't doubt it, after
all Koji has given him so many hints, Leon can't be that ignorant."
Kei smiled. "I just know it, getting them together will be the Perfect Christmas present!"
