True: MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D Hope you get whatever you wish for! I hope I get a ripstick and a new iPod. ^^

I'd like to dedicate this to Claire, AKA, bella-sk8er. Why? Because I can, that's why.

Seriously though, she's awesome. She mah ventin' buddy. I know I can talk to her and tell her anything without worrying about what she thinks or if it'll change her opinion of me. After listening to me complain and rant for about a year, I feel I should give her a one-shot. She's awesome and you have to read her stories, and love them. It's not hard. Merry Christmas Claire. ^^

Note: Worst. One-shot. Ever. Sorry you have to read this.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.
