Disclaimer: I don't own XenoSaga 1, 2 or 3, any of it's people places or things. But I did make up the mall, so that counts as mine, right? Even if it is in 2nd Miltia.

Authors Notes: Here's the sequel to A XenoSaga Christmas, it's based on the horrors of Christmas shopping when it's almost time for Christmas, of course over exaggerated for humor purposes. Just shop online people, I implore you! It's faster and you don't have to wait in two hour lines and fight the Grandma who knees you in the shin for Jenny's Barbie doll!

As I said before, this is the sequel to A XenoSaga Christmas, so if you haven't read it before you should, because I don't feel like explaining the first story in this one! Enjoy.

Christmas Shopping Jr Style

The streets of 2nd Miltia were packed, as expected a week before Christmas. Mothers were dragging their children to stores jam packed with people fighting for merchandise. Couples were looking for mistletoe to find an excuse to make out in public.

Amongst the bustling crowd was an energetic pink haired realion.

"Wow…" Momo said in awe. She was looking at all of the Christmas displays that littered each store window. "Everything is so pretty, I looove Christmas so much!"

"Yeah," Jr agreed. "It's really great, so Momo, where do you wanna go first?"

"I dunno…" Momo looked into each store window trying to see the merchandise. All she could see were people.

"I can't see anything, I don't know where to go."

"Well if you can't then I can't. What do you see Chaos?"

Jr turned. He looked at the taller man who had accompanied him.

"I don't know," Chaos said in his average tone. "I can't see anything. Can you Ma-I mean 'Shion'?"

Chaos turned to Shion/Kos-mos who had wanted to come along too. She shook her head.

"I cannot see a thing Chaos, the sea of people is too great. Perhaps we should go to the 2nd Miltia mall, it's a few blocks ahead. It might not be as crowded."

"Good idea." Jr said. He looked oddly at Chaos and "Shion" who were holding hands. He thought for a moment.

"Are you guys dating or something?" he asked. "Did you hook up at the Christmas party?"

"Yes," Chaos replied monotonely. "I saved her from herself, her soul is no longer tortured. Now our love can blossom and-"

"Alright whatever, I shouldn't have asked."

"That's wonderful you guys," Momo chimed in. "I'm so happy your together, see Jr I told you, Christmas is wonderful!"

"Yes Momo, yes it is. Let's start walking to the mall."

The foursome started walking slowly in the congested streets towards a huge building with a neon sign flashing on the top. It read '2nd Miltia Shopping Center'.

In the shopping center…

"Oh my…" Momo muttered. She was unnerved by how many people were occupying the mall. "Maybe we should go back outside."

"No way!" Jr protested. "It took us half an hour just to get here Momo, there's no way we're gonna back out now."

"But-"

"Don't worry Momo, I'm the Christmas shopping master. I'll take care of you. You just have to know how to handle the crowds. Come on."

Jr took Momo's hand and started to drag the timid girl into the crowd. He looked back at Chaos and "Shion".

"Are you guys gonna go shop too?"

"Yes." Chaos answered. "We can meet back at the entrance in…four hours?"

"Sure thing. See you guys!" with that Jr disappeared into the crowd. Chaos looked at Shion/Kos-mos.

"What do you want to do Mary?" he asked.

"I don't know," she answered. She looked up at the third floor. A fountain was changing colors in the middle of its floor. Shion/Kos-mos' eyes gleamed.

"Let's go up there," she pointed to the third of four floors. "I think that would be nice, don't you think Chaos? A nice romantic atmosphere."

"I suppose it would be Mary, let's go."

Chaos and "Shion" walked towards an elevator and took it up to the third floor. They both sat on the edge of the fountain, letting the water gently play on their fingertips. Little did they know what was in store for them.

Momo and Jr

"How 'bout this Momo, do you think Chaos would like this?"

"I don't know. Does Chaos really like black that much?"

"Oh yeah, he's a total goth."

Momo and Jr were in a Hot Topic store looking at all of the different statues, t-shirts and many novelty items. Jr was holding a large black onyx raven statue in his hands, this was the third thing in the store they had looked at for a gift for Chaos.

"He's not a goth!" Momo protested. "He's more…melancholy. Stop calling him a goth Jr, that's mean."

"Fine fine, whatever. So how 'bout this?"

"I don't like this store." Momo said exasperatedly looking over at a man buying a black t-shirt that had a skull and cross bones on it. "Can we leave?"

"Oh fine." Jr put the statue down and led Momo to the exit of the store. "But I'm telling you we won't find anything else for Chaos in any other store. He's impossible to shop for."

"Well I don't want to get him something that'll label him as a goth Jr, but you can buy it for him."

"Hey, not a bad idea." Jr turned to go back into the store when a tall man bumped into him and Momo. Momo looked up at the man apologetically.

"I'm sorry sir," she said sincerely. "We didn't see-"

"What're little brats like you doin' out here? Shouldn't you be with your Mommies?"

"Hey!" Jr let go of Momo's hand and whipped out his pistols, pointing at the man's kneecaps.

"I'm 50 bub, wanna fight about it?" he cocked his pistols. The man snickered.

"Yeah right kid, and I'm Santa Claus. Now put away those fake guns and I'll-"

POP.

The man doubled over as a bullet lodged in his knee throbbed with pain. Momo gasped.

"Do those seem fake to you buddy?" he said cockily. "Now move along, we said we're sorry so get outta here!"

The man hobbled away. Momo looked at Jr with wide eyes.

"Jr…" she said shakily. "You shot Santa Claus, now how will anyone give anyone presents? You might of ruined Christmas."

"Oh Momo," Jr patted the girl on her head. "That wasn't Santa Claus, he was just being a smart ass. Now let's go."

Momo and Jr walked back into the Hot Topic store. They pushed through the crowd of people to get back to the display with the various statues, standing feet away from each other.

"Now which one was it Momo?" he asked. There was no reply.

"Momo, which one do you think it was?" he picked up the same statue. "Aha! Here it is, don't you think this would be perfect for Chaos Momo?"

Still no reply. Jr turned. Momo was gone.

"Momo? God damn it, where the hell did she go?"

he pushed through the crowd of people who had obviously pushed her back. He scoured every inch of the store, but found Momo nowhere.

"MOMO!"

More author's notes: And there's chapter one, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to RebudoKukaiJr who gave me the perfect word for Chaos, melancholy. I didn't remember what Jr's age was, so I made up what I thought was right, can someone tell me if I was?
