Happy first day of Zevie month loves! I hope you are all going to have a fabulous day. I know I am going to. :) Well, here is the first of 31 one-shots dedicated to Zevie for this oh-so-special holiday. They are all going to be unrelated and will mainly feature Zevie. Although, the rest of the band will be present in a few of them.
I just realized, tonight is the second to last episode of How To Rock! I'm so depressed right now. But there's going to be a monkey in the episode tonight! Yay! I can't wait!
So, now it's time for the story. I hope you all enjoy.
Zander's POV
I walk into the band room feeling like the happiest guy ever. I have a huge smile on my face, I'm wearing my best Christmas cheer outfit and I have a large bag full of gifts in my hand. Walking in, I see all of the decorations that I and the band put up the other day. There are red and green streamers hanging from the ceiling, giant wall stickers stuck all around the room, little plastic Christmas statues sitting in every possible place, mistletoe hanging from the ceiling right in front of the door going outside. And last, there is a giant fake Christmas tree sitting in the far corner of the room. That had been the most fun to set up. We had all made our own ornaments to represent different things with the band, and on the top of the tree, there is a giant light-up 5. To represent Gravity 5.
I walk over to the Christmas tree and empty my bag of gifts underneath of it. Our band had decided to have our own special Christmas with just the five of us. So, I had gone out over the weekend and bought gifts for everyone. I think I did pretty well at picking out the gifts.
"Please?" I hear someone whine from behind me. It sounds like Kacey.
"Forget it Kacey. I'm not telling you what I got you. You're going to have to wait until everyone is here." Yep. It is Kacey. Which means, the other voice, must be Stevie.
"Please Stevie?" Yep.
"For the last time. No." I turn around and smile at the two girls walking towards me.
"Hey girls," I say trying to get their attention.
They both turn to look at me, "Hey Zander," They say at the same time.
I smile, "So, did you girls get your gifts already?" They both nod. "Awesome, so when Kevin and Nelson get here, we'll start this thing!" I announce excitedly. Not more than a minute later, Kevin and Nelson both walk through the door, each with a handful of gifts that they set underneath of the Christmas tree. After they set their presents down, they both turn around and glance at the rest of us with a look on their faces like little 5 year olds actually on Christmas day. They were also jumping up and down like children.
"Well," Stevie says from her spot on the couch, "we better start. Otherwise tweedle dee and tweedle dum over there, might wet themselves."
"Yeah!" Kevin and Nelson say in unison. Then they pause and look at Stevie, "HEY!" Stevie just smirks at them.
"Okay then! Time for presents." I say as everyone sits down and I bend down under the tree to hand out everyone's presents. After everyone has all of their presents, we all open them.
My favorite present that I got, is a custom made ukulele strap that says, Sup Baby, on it. If you didn't realize, that one is from Stevie.
"Man I love Christmas!" Kevin shouts admiring all of his new gifts with Nelson.
"Me too!" Nelson replies.
"Well," I say standing with my presents in my arms, "I'll see you guys all later." I begin to walk towards the door when I hear shuffling behind me.
"Zander!" I turn around to see Stevie standing up and glaring at me.
"Yes?"
"Um, where's my present?"
"Your present?" I say pretending to be confused. Then I smile. "Oh! Yeah, I do have a present for you. Wait here a minute." Then I run out the back door of the band room and carefully pick up Stevie's gift off of the floor, hold it behind my back, and run back into the band room. She's standing in the same spot and looking at me. More like glaring. "Okay. Close your eyes," I say. She does so and I pull her present out from behind my back and hold it out in front of her. "Open." As soon as she opens her eyes, she grows such a big smile that I smile too.
"Oh my goodness! Zander! A kitten?!" She reaches for the kitten and I let her. She pulls the kitten close to her body and cuddles it in her arms.
"The cat's a she by the way," I point out.
She looks up at me, "Thanks. I absolutely love her." Then she pulls me in with one arm around my neck and the other still holding her cat, and hugs me. When she pulls back, she goes back to looking at her kitten.
"What are you going to name her?"
"Huh?" She asks looking up at me.
"Her name, Stevie. She needs a name."
"I know that Zander. I guess I was just too preoccupied with how adorable she looks that I didn't bother thinking of names quite yet."
"Well think. The faster you think of a name, the faster she'll get used to it. And then she'll come when you call her. Simple."
"Okay then, how about…." She furrows her brows and scrunches up her nose. Her thinking face is what I call it, "ZEVIE!"
"Zevie?" I question.
"Yeah, it's Zander, and Stevie. Because you gave her to me, and I want to share my kitten with you. What do you say? Want to share her?"
I think for a moment. How could I not say yes. Stevie's my best friend, and that kitten, Zevie, is just too adorable. "Sure. Why not."
She smiles and I smile back. "Awesome! Well I'm gonna take Zevie and show her where I live, and I'm gonna take the rest of my gifts too. I'll see you guys later. Bye." Then she gathered all of her stuff and headed to her house with her new kitten that she totally loves. Yep, I know how to pick presents.
Well, what did you all think? I know it's a little short, but this was the first one I wrote. Trust me, the rest of them will definitely be longer than this. Also, I realized that I am two prompts short for this thing. So, if you have any ideas (words, phrases, songs, etc.) let me know, and if I haven't already used the idea, I will definitely use it. Thanks!
Jellybean96 out!
