Ethan's POV:
Christmas! I love this time of year. It's our first Christmas as bionic people. It was a day before Christmas Eve and Eowyn and Angie were over at our house. We were sitting at our table and talking about Christmas coming.
"I'm so excited for Christmas!" Angie exclaimed. "Same here!" Eowyn and I said at once. "So am I!" Laura added. "Of course you are. It's Christmas PLUS it's your birthday. That mean double the presents!" I exclaimed. I was always kind of jealous. I mean, wouldn't you be?
Laura grinned, "I really hope I get a car." "A car? Now you're really dreaming," Angie said as she sipped her coffee. "What's wrong with asking for a car?" Laura asked as she crossed her arms.
"I can answer that," Eowyn started. We all rolled her eyes. Here we go. She cleared her throat, "You first need to get your permit. You have to study and take a test. Even when you get your permit, you have to wait about six months before you can get your license and are able to drive alone, that's if you pass. So we're talking like, when you're almost seventeen," Eowyn explained.
"And it's also snowing out. You don't want to drive in the snow do you?" Angie added. "They both have really good points," I told her. They both looked at me strangely. "Well… Angie does," I added.
"Whatever. Still, I can still shoot for a car now," Laura replied. "And I'll teach you too!" Angie exclaimed. Then there was a silence. "You know who I wish I was with for Christmas and my 16th birthday?" Laura asked. "Who?" Eowyn, Angie, and I asked at once.
"Marcus," She replied, "The Davenports in general." "Same here. I really miss them. Even though it's been like two months," Eowyn said. "I would love to visit Chase for Christmas," Angie said.
"Well maybe we can visit them for Christmas," I started. They all turned to me, "What do you mean?" They asked. "I can geo-leap us all there and we can go there for Christmas!" I replied.
"Whoa! Hold on! I don't think our parents would approve!" Angie exclaimed as she put her coffee down. "Well, it's worth a shot, right? We can ask them and if they say no, then it's not. But we should at least try," Eowyn said.
Laura nodded, "Eowyn's right."
Angie sighed, got out her phone and called her mom. Laura and I went to go ask our parents, and Eowyn used her phone to call her dad. It took us a while, but we finally convinced our parents to let us go visit the Davenports for Christmas!
We came back into the kitchen. "We can go!" Laura exclaimed. "So can I!" Eowyn said excitedly. "Me too! Since my parents are visiting my sister for Christmas, they said it was okay for me to go as long as we all celebrate Christmas together on New Years," Angie said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Laura exclaimed. "Okay, grab on," I said. Eowyn, Laura, Angie, and I all locked arms and I geo-leaped all of us to the Davenport's front step. "I hope they're all here. If they're not, then you got to geo-leap us to the Academy," Angie said.
Then Laura's phone rang. She put it on speaker. "Hello?" "Hey! It's Katelyn!" The voice exclaimed. "Hey KK!" Laura and Angie exclaimed. "I was gonna video call you but it kept ringing. Where are you guys?" KK asked.
"We're in California. We're waiting for the Davenports to open the stupid door," Eowyn explained. "Why are you there?" "We want to spend Christmas here. Plus Laura wanted to visit her boyfriend," I told her. "If I ask my mom, do you think Ethan could geo-leap me there?" She asked. "Sure!" Angie exclaimed. "Of course!" Laura said excitedly. "Okay, be right back."
Katelyn put her phone down and we heard her bickering with her mom in the background. We all were trying to hold back our laughs. Katelyn grabbed the phone, "She said I can go!"
"Cool! Ethan, go geo-leap to Japan and get Katelyn," Laura said to me. "Me? Why?" I asked. "Because brainiac, you're the only one that can get there," Eowyn reminded me.
I rolled my eyes and geo-leaped to Japan, grabbed Katelyn, and came back. "Thanks," Katelyn said as soon as we came back. Angie, Laura, and Eowyn gave her a hug. I rolled my eyes.
"Can we ring the doorbell, please?" I asked crossing my arms, "I'm dying of old age." Angie rang the doorbell. "I got it! I got it!" I heard Chase exclaim. "Nice try, twerp," I heard Adam say. Then I heard screaming and banging. Adam must have thrown Chase across the room.
Adam opened the door. "Hey! What are you guys doing here?" He asked. He fist bumped me. "We decided to visit for Christmas. Are you guys doing anything?" Angie asked. "Adam, who is it?" I heard Bree ask. My heart started to pound.
Bree came to the door. "Hey guys!" She exclaimed. She hugged the girls and then me. She kissed me quickly on the cheek. "Come in!" She exclaimed. We walked into the living room and Chase was getting up in the kitchen.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Angie asked. She rushed over to Chase. She helped him up. "Yeah I'm fine. Wait, Angie?" He said. She nodded. He gave her a hug, "What are you doing here?"
She let go, "We're just visiting for Christmas. It took a lot of persuasion," She replied. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. Leo entered the room. "Hey people! Guess what? I'm bionic!" Leo exclaimed.
"That's so cool!" Katelyn exclaimed. "Well, I'm half bionic, like you," Leo told Katelyn. They high-fived. Mr. Davenport and Tasha came downstairs, "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Mr. Davenport asked. Tasha gave each of us a hug.
"I hope you don't mind, we're visiting for Christmas," Laura said with a smile. "Not at all. We were actually trying to figure out what to do for Christmas since the Academy is doing their own thing," Mr. Davenport said.
As soon as Mr. Davenport said that, Marcus and Douglas came up. So did Daniel. (First time meeting him…) "Laura!" Marcus exclaimed. He ran over and gave her a hug. He kissed her on the forehead. "Hey! Merry Christmas!" She exclaimed.
"Hey guys!" Douglas exclaimed.
Angie, Eowyn, Katelyn and I gave Douglas a hug. "Who are these people?" Daniel asked. "They're bionic too. They're good friends," Bree explained. "This one…" Bree started. She held onto my hand, "Is my boyfriend."
"Hi, I'm Ethan," I said. "Hey. I'm Daniel," He said with a smile. "I'm Eowyn," She told him. She took his hand. "I'm Laura." "Hi, I'm Katelyn! You're awesome." "And I'm Angie. Nice to meet you." He smiled. "You too. You're cute," Daniel said. "Why do guys always say that!?" Angie whispered to me.
"Sorry, but she's my girlfriend," Chase said as he put his arm around Angie. Daniel gave her a horrified look. "That was my reaction," Adam whispered to Daniel. "Why him!?" Daniel asked. "I know!" Adam exclaimed.
"Because there's no one else like him," Angie said. She looked into Chase's eyes and smiled. (Vomit) "So she's your girlfriend?" Daniel asked Marcus as he pointed to Laura. "Yep," Marcus said with a smile. "At least you don't have a boyfriend," Daniel said to Eowyn.
Eowyn started laughing, "Yes, yes I do. He's not from around here though…" Daniel glanced at Douglas. "I'll tell you later," Douglas said. "I'm guessing you're dating Leo or something?" Daniel asked Katelyn.
"No way!" Katelyn exclaimed. "I'm dating Janelle," Leo said. "No, I'm not dating anyone. Not yet, that is," Katelyn said. "Well that's good," Daniel said. "Daniel. You know she's seventeen, right?" Chase asked. "I do now," Daniel replied. Everyone started laughing.
"We're really glad that you guys came for Christmas," Tasha said with a smile. "Yeah, our church is having a candle-light service tomorrow if you guys want to join," Mr. Davenport suggested. "Of course! That would be great!" Laura exclaimed. Did I mention that the Davenports became Christians?
"It's not just Christmas…" Katelyn started. Laura started grinning. "What do you mean?" Marcus asked. "It's also Laura's birthday!" Angie exclaimed. "Your birthday's on Christmas?" Bree asked. Laura nodded.
"Cool! Double presents!" Adam exclaimed. "That's amazing. I can't wait," Marcus told her. She smiled up at him. "Well, I guess I should show you guys to some rooms," Tasha said. We followed her to the rooms.
"Shoot! We didn't bring anything to wear!" Eowyn exclaimed. "I got us covered," Angie started. She put her hand in her back pocket and pulled out her wallet. "Yes!" Katelyn exclaimed.
We walked into the kitchen where Tasha was getting dinner. "We can go shopping tomorrow I guess," Angie said as we sat down at the table. "Can I come?" Bree asked. "Sure! That would be awesome!" Eowyn exclaimed.
"Just pick me up something," I said. "Are you sure?" Laura asked. "Yeah, just don't go crazy," I replied. "I'm leaving my card in Laura's hands as well," Angie said as she slid the credit card across the table to Laura.
"Wait, why?" She asked. "I don't like shopping. Just pick out something that I might like," Angie replied. "Don't worry, I know Angie like the back of my hand," Eowyn whispered to Laura.
"Ethan can I talk to you?" Angie asked. She pushed me into the other room. "What?" I asked. "Marcus and everyone else are going shopping for Christmas presents tomorrow. I was thinking we could find some stuff for Laura," Angie explained.
"That'll work. But you can't buy anything. You gave your card to Laura, remember?" I asked. Angie reached into her back pocket and pulled out another card. "You have two!?" I exclaimed. "Shh! No, one of them is Eowyn's. Laura doesn't know that though," Angie whispered.
"Okay. That works. So everyone's going?" I asked. Angie nodded, "Yeah. Tasha is going to take the girls and I decided to go with you guys." "Why?" I asked. "Because, Laura is one of my best friends. I know what she likes," Angie replied.
"Doesn't Katelyn know too?" I asked. "Katelyn and I agreed that she would distract her, and I would buy the presents and everything." Alright, so that was the plan. Hopefully this would be a Christmas that we'd never forget.
So I decided to do this short fanfic (it's gonna be like five chapters long) before Laura and I do a BIG fanfic which will be coming out soon. Hope you guys enjoy this one!
