A/N: Hey guys! Here is the third and final short story! I must tell you that there is a bit of Christianity at the very end. I'm not a Christian, but I still believe in God. Please do not flame my story for that. Also, there is a bit of romance at the end too. Enjoy! :)
$1.87 was all Skye had. She had counted it herself. It was Christmas Eve and she was in desperate need of a present to her husband Chase. She didn't have much money for she didn't work. She had wanted to get Chase a new tie for his best suit because his old tie had blown away in the wind after he and Skye got married and they never got around to getting a new one.
"If only I had some more money." said Skye.
Time was running out fast. She knew that Chase would be home from work soon and she wanted to get a present before he got back. She then remembered her favourite pink expensive necklace that she always wore. It was worth enough money for a new tie. Skye left the house and went to a shop that needed jewellery to give away. If you sold some jewellery, you would get the money it was worth in return.
"Do you have jewellery we could use for the shop?" asked the clerk.
"Yes, I do. I have this necklace." said Skye.
She removed her necklace and gave it to the clerk. The clerk examined the necklace and nodded. She then gave Skye some money.
"Thank you very much! Have a merry Christmas!" said Skye.
"You too!" said the clerk.
She then left the shop and went to a clothing store where the ties were sold. She bought a very nice tie for Chase and went home. She then watched TV and waited. She also made dinner while she was waiting. She couldn't wait to see Chase's face when he saw his present.
Meanwhile, a young man was hurrying in the snow outside. He rushed into a shop and picked out a long pink dress. He paid for it, thanked the cashier and left quickly. He ran in the snow with the dress. This man had bought the dress for his wife. He loved her very much and wanted a present to get her. He had just enough money to get this dress and was now hurrying home to get to his wife.
Although he had left work normal time, he was very late coming home because he could not find the right store that needed suits. He had to give up his best suit so he could afford this dress. The job he had didn't give him enough money for the dress. By the time he got home it was 9:00 at night. Usually, he would have been home at 7:00. His wife greeted him as he came in.
"Hello Chase! You're sure home late!" said Skye.
"Sorry about that, there was a lot of snow everywhere." said Chase.
"I have a present for you!" said Skye.
I do too." said Chase.
They both gave each other the wrapped presents. Skye's present was decorated with pink candy cane wrapping paper and a pink bow. Chase's was decorated with blue snowflake wrapping paper and a blue bow. Skye went first (as they say, ladies first). She tore open the open and gasped at her present.
"A beautiful dress! Thanks Chase!" said Skye.
"It's to go with your necklace." said Chase.
Skye remembered and her smile turned upside down. She watched Chase tear open his present and smile.
"It's a tie! Thanks Skye!" said Chase.
Skye smiled again.
"It's to go with your best suit!" said Skye.
Chase remembered too and he frowned.
"I need to tell you something!" they said in unison.
"You first." said Chase.
Skye sighed and began.
"I wanted to get you that tie so I had to sell my necklace for it." said Skye.
"I wanted to get you that dress so I had to give up my best suit." said Chase.
They both looked at each other and blushed.
"You did that for me?" asked Skye.
"I did it for you because I love you very much." said Chase.
"I love you too Chase! I did it for you for the same reason!" said Skye.
They both smiled and kissed. If you know, the magi were the 3 wise men that went to baby Jesus and gave him gifts. They invited the gift giving. For anyone who gift gives, these 2 were the wisest. Anyone who gives and receives gifts are the wisest. Everywhere there are wise people and pups. These pups are the magi.
