WST: If you're reading this, then today's 5 days before Christmas

JJ: Just 5 more days to go!

WST: Yeah, anyway, this is going to be a multi-chapter story.

JJ: Hope you enjoy this.

WST: Oh yeah, Toan and Xiao are near Matataki village at this time.

Toan and Xiao were walking back to their home and they stopped when they saw white flakes falling from the sky. Toan held out his hand to catch one and it melted in his hand. He realized what it was and said, "Xiao, look, it's snowing." Xiao looked at the white flakes falling faster and said, "Snow? Master, what's that?"

Toan said, "Well, its a type of rain that is cold, but soft. It's not that strange that you don't know. The last time we had snow was 30 years ago. The old Hag told me." Xiao nodded her head in understanding and asked, "Oh, Xiao understands. Also, master, why are we in a rush to get home to Mistress Renee? " Toan sighed and said, "I told you, we have to get home before Christmas."

Xiao looked at Toan in confusion and asked, "What is that?" Toan sweatdropped and said, "You don't know what Christmas is? Oh wait, I forgot you were a cat before I met you. Well, Christmas is the time of year we celebrate the birth of Simba. We celebrate it on December 25, which is 2 weeks from now. That's why we need to go now, Mom usually asks me to help her and you're going to help too, right?" Xiao looked at Toan and smiled. "Of course master." Toan smiled back and continued walking home. 'I wonder if I can get Xiao under the mistletoe?'

(20 minutes later)

They had reached Matataki village and decided to camp near the entrance for the night. Xiao was going to go find Goro, when Toan stopped her. "Wait Xiao. It's getting cold. You should wear a jacket." Xiao looked at Toan and asked, "Where can Xiao get a jacket? Xiao doesn't have one."

Toan thought for a second and started looking through his pack. He pulled out a pink jacket and gave it to Xiao. "Here, I thought it might get cold so I bought you one." Xiao put on the jacket and said, "How does it look?" Toan stared at Xiao until he realized what he was doing and blushed. He said, "Uh, it looks great Xiao." Xiao smiled and stepped out of the tent to go say hi to Goro.

Toan was left all alone and he decided to make use of the time he had. 'Now then, what to get Xiao for Christmas? Maybe some fish candy? Nah, too obvious. Hmm... what about some clothes? Nah, too boring. What about...' Toan kept on thinking ideas, when Goro stepped into the tent. He said, "Hey." to Toan, but Toan was too deep in thought to hear him. Goro got mad at being ignored and yelled, "HEY TOAN! YOU AWAKE?"

"Bwaaaaah!" Went Toan's reply as Goro snapped him out of his thoughts. "Oh, hey Goro. When did you get in here?" Goro grunted and said, "I was here for a couple of minutes. I tried talking to you, but you didn't seem to hear me." Toan rubbed his head nervously and said, "Yeah, sorry for that.I was thinking about something." He looked around the room and asked, "Hey, where's Xiao?" Goro grunted again and said, "Your cat-girlfriend is talking to Momo about something." Toan blushed and said, "She's not my girlfriend." Goro rolled his eyes and said, "Sureeee. Anyway, what were you thinking about?" Toan sighed and said, "Can I tell you something?" Goro shrugged and said, "Sure, but it better not be boring."

Toan nodded and continued by saying, "See, it's almost Christmas and I have no idea what to get Xiao. I have no idea what she likes, beside fish candy and that's too plain. I want to get her something special." He sighs and asks, "Do you have any ideas?" Goro shrugged and said, "Get her something she likes. I don't really know or care what you're going to get her." Toan sighed and thought, 'I'm doomed. I wonder what Xiao's doing?'

(With Xiao)

Xiao had just stepped out of Momo's house, thinking about the conversation she had with Momo.

(flashback)

"Momo, what do we do on Christmas?" She asked Momo. Momo smiled and said, "Well, usually on Christmas we give everyone we know a present." "A present? Like what?" Xiao asked, slightly confused. "We usually give them something special to them, like clothes, toys or something like that. You thinking of getting Toan something?"

"Xiao doesn't know. Maybe." Xiao said as she left the house.

(end flashback)

'What to get master Toan? Hmm... maybe a mouse? Or a sword? or maybe a...' She continued thinking of new ideas until she stumbled back to her camp. She walked into then tent and said, "Hello Master. Hello Goro. What are you doing?" Toan quickly jumped up and said, "Xiao! Where were you? I was worried." Xiao looked at Toan and asked, "You were?" Toan realized what he said and said, "Uh, w-what I-i meant was, we were worried about you."

He indicated to himself and Goro, who just rolled his eyes. Xiao was suspicious but dropped the matter. "Anyway, master, it's nearly midnight." Toan yawned and said, "It's that late? Time to go to sleep. See ya later Goro." Goro grunted and said, "Yeah, later." and left the tent. Toan rolled out his and Xiao's sleeping bags and went into his. "Goodnight Xiao." Xiao went into hers and said, "Good night, master."

WST: Well, that's the first chapter. Sorry it's so short.(sweatdrops)
