Alice hummed happily and kissed Benn's cheek. "I'll be back later. Me and Ace are taking the chance and going shopping."

He nodded and finished eating before lightly kissing her. "Alright, have fun. I won't look when you come in. I want it all to be a surprise Christmas morning."

She smiled and pulled on his coat. "Thank you~. I'll be back in a few. If I take too long I'll pick up some lunch if you make hot chocolate."

He chuckled and rested his cheek on his fist. "Alright, no problem. Now, go on and go shopping. I'll pull down the wrapping paper for you."

She waved and slipped out before heading to the mall. She smiled widely when she spotted Ace and Marco before running over to plow into Marco. He grunted softly and hugged her, rocking on his feet. "Must you do this every time we see each other? One day I'm going to fall over and crack my skull."

She pulled away and hugged Ace before standing in between them and hooking her arms with theirs. "Yeah, whatever. Now, let's get to shopping. As much as I love it when Benn uses the kitchen, I once got our drinks mixed up and forgot what happened that night. Anyway, shopping. What are you getting sissy, Marco?"

He held up a bag and said, "I got her another book series. Hopefully it'll last longer than the last one I gave her."

She nodded and looked at Ace. "What about you?"

Ace scratched his head and said, "Well, I'm not sure yet. She doesn't exactly give hints, ya know."

She ginned and pulled them towards a certain store. "I know what you should get her, Ace. She'll love it for sure."

Marco shook his head and said, "No, she won't. If Ace gets Sera one of those outfits, he's going to be on the couch for at least a month."

Ace looked through a rack and said, "Some of these aren't so bad, really. They don't look like they'd be all that tight or are frilly. I know Sera doesn't like frilly."

Alice grinned and held up a more revealing outfit. "This isn't frilly at all. In fact, there's not much to it at all."

Marco facepalmed and shook his head. "Yeah, you get her that, Alice. Would you prefer to be cremated or buried at your funeral? I should know this for when she kills you."

Alice waved her hand and perked up when she spotted a dark blue outfit. She held up in the mirror and flicked a ribbon dangling. "Oh, Benn would like this."

Marco sighed and plopped back in a chair. "Fine, ignore me. Get Sera one of these outfits and see what happens."

She rolled her eyes at him and threw the outfit at him. "Hold this for me. I want both hands free while I look."

He groaned and muttered under his breath as she looked through the outfits. She grinned widely and threw one at Ace before holding up a pair of wolf ears on her finger. "Sissy would absolutely love this, Ace."

He pulled the outfit off his head and looked at it. "Really? Are you sure?"

She nodded and handed him the ears. "And these match perfectly. You should know how much sissy loves wolves. She lost her last pair of ears at that party last year, so she needs new ones anyway."

He grinned and nodded quickly. "Yeah, she does like wolves and I like being with her so this'll be perfect. We just have to wait for Marco to stop being a bum and move out."

Marco rolled his eyes and said, "I will move out as soon as I get a car which you totalled, remember? Mr. 'Watch what I can do in Marco's car while he's sleeping'. You're lucky you didn't die. How many times did you roll? Five?"

Ace rubbed the back of his arm and muttered, "Six and I went flying through the window cause I didn't buckle up."

Alice sighed and patted his arm. "It's in the past, so drop it, Marco. At least nobody was hurt, so let's finish our shopping trip and go on with our lives."

Marco handed her the dark blue outfit and nodded. "Fine, I'll drop it. Here, this is for Benn, isn't it?"

She took it and smiled. "It's been pretty vanilla lately, so I'm going to spice things up this Christmas. Don't expect to see me before noon."

Ace bought the outfit and ears and asked, "Do you have to tell us about everything, Alice? We honestly don't want to hear about your sex life."

She stuck out her tongue and paid for her outfit. "Yes, I do. You two are practically my brothers, so you get all the juicy unwanted details like sissy. At least I'm getting some. You two are getting cobwebs down there."

They shot her a look and she snickered before they realized they took her bait. She stuffed her hands in the pockets of her borrowed coat and started heading to her car. "Thanks for joining me, guys! Love y'all and merry Christmas!"

They waved and said, "Merry Christmas, crazy bunny!"

She laughed loudly and headed home, plan forming in her mind.
