Curfy grinned and handed Ash the package. "I know you've been wanting this, so I got you this."

He smiled at her and opened it. When it came into sight, his grin could have lit up New York City.

"Oh, my, gosh, a new hat! Awesome!" He pulled the ball cap out of the box and looked over it. It was red, with the exception of the half circle and bill. Those were white. Curfy smiled at his reaction.

"TROY, TAKE THE FREAKING GIFT!"

"NO!"

"TAKE IT!"

"FINE!"

The two best friends looked under the Christmas tree and saw the legs of the other two. The smirked at each other and army crawled under the tree, pushing presents out of the way. They then watched Troy open the green gift, still hidden partly.

"I hope you're happy," He snapped. Turner smiled.

"I am! It's CHRISTMAS!"

He sighed and slowly took the top off of the box. He looked at her.

"Alright, whatever helps you sleep at-"

SPLAT!

"MWA HA HAAA!"

"TURNER IMIN!"

He wiped the pie out of his eyes and glared at her. Ash decided it was time to stop them.

"You know Turner, you could've done something less… I don't know, cliché?"

"OH MY GAWD KETCHUP MAN, YOU AND CURFINATOR ARE UNDER THE TREE!" She hugged him. "You're my Christmas gift…"

Ash's eyes widened. "No, Turner, your Christmas gift is right here." He handed her a purple gift. She opened it to find a picture book with the word "Brock Pix" on the cover. She screamed in joy.

"OH MY GAWD BROCK'S NAME! I LOVE IT!"

"Turner, open the book up."

She opened it and flipped through it. There were probably over a hundred pictures of the breeder throughout it. She was completely speechless.

"He's so hot and sexy and…" She started to go on, but then she stopped when Brock suddenly sat down next to her and put an arm around her.

"Hey, Turner." She looked like she was going to faint in joy. Brock saw the younger trainer and his best friend. "Hey, Ash, Curfy."

"Hi, Brock."

"Hello."

Troy smiled a little. Maybe Brock will take her off of my hands…

"So, Turner, I was wondering…," Brock began. "Since it's Christmas, and it's a romantic time, do you want to go out?"

"YES YES YES!"

"Good thing, cause that'd pretty much ruin my Christmas if you said no."

Now, to ask Dawn out. Troy got up and headed over to Dawn, who was sitting by the fire. He pulled a necklace out of his pocket and put it around her neck, attaching the claps together. She blushed and looked up at him.

"Wanna go out?"

She blushed madly. "S-Sure!" He sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"This is the best Christmas ever."

Curfy looked over to the other two and saw their position. "Looks like Trojan didn't strike out."

"Seriously? That's a first."

"Well, it is Christmas," Brock pointed out. Ash smiled.

"And now, Curfy, for your gift." He handed her a small envelope. She took it, eyeing him with curiosity, and opened it tentatively. She read the letter, grinned, and handed him the coupon.

"I'd like to use this tomorrow, if that's okay."

"Alright. Let's go make sure Troy doesn't mess things up with Dawn. Shall we?"

"As you wish," She laughed. He crawled out from under the tree, leaving the coupon, and helped her up, the four of them walking off towards the fireplace. The last thing you see is the coupon:
