Christmas in Hollis

"We don't need a plan or color scheme. We just go with the flow." Kenzi argued.

"If by 'going with the flow' you mean making it look like Christmas threw up in our house then I'll go with a no." Lauren argued back. "We need to have this all planned out."

"Or we could just start hanging up the decorations instead of talking about it." Kenzi said then snatched the paper Lauren was holding out of her hand. "This is not ok." Kenzi said waving the paper around. "We don't need a schedule to put up Christmas decorations."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Lauren asked irritatingly.

Kenzi did not like Lauren's tone. "Well you could stop being so annoying." She mumbled.

Lauren heard her. "You could try to be a little more cooperative. I mean it won't hurt you to listen to someone else when it comes to style."

Bo knew this wasn't going to get anywhere any time soon. "Whoa, ladies. Why don't we just take it down a notch?"

Neither of the women were having it. "What's that supposed to mean?" Kenzi said stepping towards Lauren angrily.

"Oh you didn't hear?" Lauren asked. "Elvira called. She wants her look back."

Kenzi gasped at the unexpected insult. Bo had to stifle a laugh. She wasn't expecting that from her girlfriend. Then all hell broke loose. Kenzi and Lauren were throwing insult after insult at each other. Bo couldn't calm them down. This wasn't going how she planned at all. She thought it would be a nice idea to decorate the house with her best friend and girlfriend. She hasn't had a real Christmas in years. She had been on the run for ten years. Then when she finally found herself she was too busy saving the world to celebrate the holidays. This would be her first Christmas in years she would be able to spend with her family. She needed it to be special but neither her girlfriend nor best friend could see why this was all so important to her and it hit a nerve.

"Enough!" Bo shouted. The arguing stopped abruptly. Lauren and Kenzi turned to look at Bo in shock. "All I wanted was to decorate the house with the two most important people in my life but the two of you can't even be in each other's presence for five minutes without wanting to claw at each other's throats." Bo was infuriated. "This is the first time I have a family to spend Christmas with. I wanted it to be special. I wanted the two of you to finally get along."

"She started it." Kenzi quipped.

"I don't care." Bo said before Lauren could say anything. "Kenz, I love you but when are you going to realize that I love Lauren too. I love everything about her, especially the things you find annoying. She is my girlfriend and she isn't going anywhere." Kenzi looked down. Bo then turned to Lauren. "And babe, when are you going to see that Kenzi is my best friend. I love her quirkiness and outrageous lifestyle. She is just as important to me as you are." Lauren looked away ashamed for acting like a teenage girl. Bo wasn't too happy either. "I'm going to the store. We need lights. Maybe you guys could try to decorate without killing each other." Bo said as she stepped out the door and slammed it behind her.

From the other side she heard Kenzi say "Look at what you did."

"I did?"


Bo stomped all the way to her Camaro. She slammed the door behind her. She was so frustrated with the two of them. They couldn't get along for her sake. She has tried everything to try and get them to see how much they both mean to her. It wasn't a contest about who could win Bo over. She wanted the both of them, in very different ways, but she still wanted them in her life. She may have been a little harsh with them but she couldn't bring herself to feel sorry. She was too aggravated with Lauren and Kenzi. She didn't understand why they couldn't just get along, or at least pretend to.


Bo had spent most of her day away from the clubhouse. She bought many things. She bought lights to hang around the outside of the clubhouse, some more decorations for the inside of the house, and some clothes for herself. The best way to get over a girls frustration was to shop them away. Bo was struggling with her bags as she walked up to the clubhouse but she was still too mad to call Lauren or Kenzi to ask for help. As she approached to door she could hear music blasting from the other side. When she opened the door she was hit by a surprise. The clubhouse looked like a winter wonderland. Gold and white lights were wrapped around everything they could be wrapped around. There were stockings hung above the fireplace. Gold tinsel was everywhere. There was even a miniature village covered in fake snow set up on the floor next to the tree.

But that wasn't what surprised Bo the most. What caught her off guard was the sight of Lauren and Kenzi decorating the Christmas tree together. Lauren was on ladder hanging up ornaments at the top of the tree while Kenzi handed them to her. They were not only decorating the tree together but they were also dancing and singing along to a classic Christmas rap.

It was December 24th in Hollis ave at the dark.

When I seen a man chillin' with his dog at the park.

I approached them very slowly with my heart full of fear.

Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer.

Kenzi began rapping along to one of her favorite songs as she bopped her head to the beat.

But the I was illin' because the man had a beard

And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared

So I turned my head a second and the man was gone

But he must have dropped his wallet smack dead on the lawn.

Lauren began to rap along as well. Bo was surprised Lauren knew all the words. She couldn't picture Lauren listening to rap or any type of music for that matter. The duo hadn't noticed Bo's entry the just continued to rap along to Run D.M.C's classic Christmas rap. Bo had set the bags down not wanting to interrupt the little concert going on in front of her. The best part of the song was coming up. Lauren hopped off of the ladder to rap along with Kenzi accompanied with hip bumps and swaged out moves.

It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens

Mom's cookin chicken and collard greens.

Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese

And Santa put gifts under the Christmas tree.

Bo couldn't contain herself any longer. She burst into laughter. Lauren and Kenzi stopped abruptly and turned to see the hunched over succubus laughing hysterically. Lauren turned off the music. Both Lauren and Kenzi turned red in embarrassment.

"Laugh it up succubus." Kenzi said. "You know we have sick moves."

Bo couldn't respond since she was laughing so hard. "You are so getting coal for Christmas." Kenzi said as she narrowed her eyes at her best friend.

Lauren just smirked at her girlfriend. It was good to see Bo laughing so hard, yeah it cost Lauren some dignity but it was still worth it.

Bo finally controlled her laughter. "So I guess that means Salt and Peppa's here." She started to laugh again.

"Oh you're a comedian now." Kenzi said.

"Ok I'm sorry." Bo said as her laughter began to die down again. "But that definitely wasn't what I was expecting when I walked through the door." Bo looked at the decorations again. "The house looks amazing."

"You're welcome." Kenzi said. "Hotpants came up with the white and gold theme. As much as I hate to admit it the color scheme actually works."

"Kenzi came up with the idea of the village. She is very crafty." Lauren added.

Bo was happy to see that the two were starting to get along. "So how did this little concert get started?" She asked.

"Your girl has great taste in music." Kenzi said as she gestured over to Lauren.

Bo was surprised to hear the Lauren picked the song. Lauren shrugged. "The tension was too thick so I put my iPod on. We started singing along to my music then this song came on and you walked in."

Bo walked over to Lauren and wrapped her arms around Lauren's waste. "You, Lauren Lewis, are full of surprises." She then kissed her.

Kenzi started making gagging sounds then threw a pillow at the two. "Get a room."

There was a ding that came from the kitchen. "That must be dinner." Lauren said as she made to walk over to the kitchen but Bo held her tighter.

"Why don't we hold off on dinner for now?" Bo said seductively.

"If we don't eat now the we will never eat." Lauren said smiling at her girlfriend.

"I could think of something else I'd like to eat." Bo said back.

"Hello," Kenzi chimed in "I'm right here. I do have ears."

Lauren chuckled. "Go, wash up so we can eat." She pushed Bo towards the stairs.

"Fine," Bo said as she reluctantly went up the stairs "but I expect a private concert between the two of us tonight."

Lauren blushed then turned to the kitchen. She took the macaroni and cheese out the oven and placed it on the table. Kenzi started setting up the table for dinner. Lauren started to serve them.

It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens.

Kenzi began to rap softly.

Mom's cookin chicken and collard greens.

Lauren rapped a little louder than Kenzi. They then both looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese

And Santa put gifts under the Christmas tree

Meanwhile Bo had snuck back downstairs. She had recorded everything without the two even knowing. The rap came along with dance moves as well. She couldn't hold it in any more.

"The gang's going to love this." Bo said as she held her phone out recording Lauren and Kenzi.

"Bo!" The both shouted in horror.

After fifteen minutes of chasing Bo around the clubhouse, Lauren and Kenzi managed to take Bo's phone and delete the video, but not before she sent it to most of her contacts in her phone.
