Later that night Jade is passed out drunk on the couch after finishing up a bottle of fireball. Then she starts to stir when she hears some ones voice…
"Jadeeee wake up" the voice says trying to sound scary "jadeeee…."
Jade then wakes up thinking its Tori coming back home "I heard you Tor…." She stops and see's a ghost of Rex "what the fuck Rex?" "Damn how much did I drink?" Jade questions herself.
"Jadeeee…" Rex repeats
"Yeah I heard you the first time you piece of plastic what do you want?!" she says annoyed at the haunted puppet.
"You will be visited by three spirits tonight and you must listen to them" Rex says in a spooky voice
"Can you quit with the spooky voice that shit doesn't scare me" Jade says annoyed
"Grunch…fine you will be seen by three spirits tonight and you better listen to them or else you will be punished" Rex says straight to the point
"I like punishments so that doesn't scare me" Jade says
"Even if I say you will having to listen to this song for all eternity" Rex says then a song comes on and it's the voice of Trina Vega attempting to sing and Jade groans loudly and covers her ears
"Okay enough ENOUGH!" Jade says yelling, "I will listen to the stupid spirits!" She says then in a blink of an eye, Rex is gone.
…..
"Hmmm yeah I must have been drunk" Jade says thinking that it was just a nightmare. She gets off the couch where she was drinking and takes the empty bottles to the trash. "Ever tried coconut milk with vodka its quite a delight" Jade jumps slightly hearing the voice and turns to look.
"Jesus! What the hell?! Who are you?!" Jade says freaking out a bit
"Jadeee it's your ghost of Christmas past" the ghost says wearing a mask and sipping a coconut
"Sikowitz? Sikowitz why are you hiding your face I know its you" Jade says crossing her arms glaring at the ghost
The ghost sighs and takes off his mask "okay you got me…how did you know it was me?" Sikowitz says and Jade points at the coconut "Ahh yes I guess I should have been more in character, good observation Jade" He says and continues sipping his coconut.
"yeah…thanks, wait are you one of the spirits that idiot doll said was coming?" Jade asks looking at him.
"Yes Jade I'm here to show you, your Christmas past…It was a once of a lifetime opportunity to put ghost onto my resume as an actor" He says then grabs her wrist and as quickly as Jade looks down Sikowitz takes Jade to a Christmas at Jade's old parents house before they were divorce.
Jade looks around "I remember this house…I never though I would come back" Jade then see her father and freezes when she see him. He pours a drink and walks past her and goes to the tree. "Remember Jade they can't see you" Sikowitz tells jade.
"Alright Jade lets put the milk and cookies on the table for Santa" Jades father says to a very young Jade who was around 3 or 4 years old. He helps her put the plate of cookies and the glass of milk on the table. "Now all we have to do is go to sleep and in the morning Santa will leave you presents" he says to his young daughter and kisses her forehead.
Jade watches her father and her younger self with confusion "I don't remember this…" she says trying to think back of any good memory of her and her father. "Aaah Jade you were so sweet and innocent, not a single bit of rage in your tiny body" Sikowitz says drinking his coconut. Jade rolls her eyes at him then she sees her pregnant mother come downstairs and walks up to Jades father holding a mistletoe and kisses him happily. "I don't remember them being this happy." Jade says still looking confused.
"I know you don't, this is probably one of the Christmas's you remember" Sikowitz says and as he does the scene changes to a few years later when Jade is about 8 years old with her younger brother trying to decorate the tree.
"Ethan come and help your kids with the tree" Jade's mother says as she see jades father walking out his office "Woman didn't you hear me earlier when I said I have to work" he says annoyed as he walks pass them to get some paper work he left at the table.
"Daddy look" Jade's brother Jason says to her father and he just ignores him "Jason go play I have to work…some of us have to work even on the holidays to pay for this rich lifestyle" he says annoyed.
"Ethan please don't act like this" jade's mother says to him and he just laughs bitterly "Don't tell me how to act in my own house? I could of done anything I wanted in this house before we had these expensive kids" he says looking down at little jade and Jason "now I have to slave all day at this firm for this kids so they can go do what? Singing lessons? Piano lessons?" he says pissed off "what kind of future is that?" he looks down at the young Jade with a stern face "She better marry rich or else she is going to live off my dime for the rest of her life trying to be a singer" he says as he kicks one the boxes of ornaments that is in his way as he walks back to his office.
The older Jade watching this memory looks away and wipes the smallest tear from her eye "I've seen enough, this is why I don't want kids, I even have the same fucking laugh as him." Jade says to Sikowitz.
"I'm sorry Jade but you had to see it and just because your father had hate in his heart later on in his life doesn't mean you will have the same fate" He says to her.
Jade just shakes her head not believing it "That was the last Christmas we had together as a family, after that I had shitty Christmases with him and his stupid blonde wife that can't even cook toast."
"But not every Christmas was this bad remember when things started to turn around?" Sikowitz says and he takes Jade to Tori's house and Tori are sitting on the couch as Trina and Robbie are decorating the huge Christmas tree in the background.
"Jade?" Tori says after opening the door and seeing Jade
"Correct" Jade, says
"What are you here for?" Tori says confuse
"For you" Jade says as she walks in Tori's house and puts her bag on the couch
"I remember this Christmas, this is the stupid secret Santa thing you made us do" Jade says as she watches Tori frisk her younger self for scissors.
"Aaaah yes, you were so against giving Tori a gift but you eventually gave her a great gift that ended up helping your friend Andre" Sikowitz says as Jade stares at Tori who is frisking her.
"She was totally enjoying frisking me I could tell" Jade says with a smirk. "It was obvious then she liked me." Jade says confidently.
"Oh Jade…don't act like you didn't have a thing for her" Sikowitz says with a grin.
"Don't act like you knew, I didn't even know what type of feelings I had for her back then" Jade says defending herself.
"Oh yes I did!…I knew it so well that I didn't randomly pick you to be Tori's secret Santa…I did it on purpose!" Sikowitz says while laughing.
"You what?!" Jade says with a bit of rage "You made me get Tori? But why?"
"Cause if anyone was going to put the spirit Christmas in you it was going to be Tori" Sikowitz says confidently "She brings out the best of you" He snaps his fingers and takes Jade to another Christmas where Tori is sitting alone in front of the Christmas at the Grove in Hollywood.
Tori is sitting alone watching couples around the big tree taking photos and holding hands. "Don't look so sad Vega its Christmas" Jade says in her mocking voice of Tori while she sits on the bench next to her holding two cups of coffee.
"I don't talk like that! And why do you care? You said Christmas is stupid" Tori says disappointment but when she see's Jade offering her a cup of coffee she takes it and looks back at the tree.
"I know what I said and I'm sorry, I know this isn't the way you want to spend our last Christmas together in Los Angeles before I move to New York" Jade says rubbing her back. "I just came here to give you the Christmas gift I got you" Jade holds up a thin square box.
"What is it? Another dead butterfly?" Tori says sarcastically trying to not look sad that her girlfriend was leaving for New York and leaving her behind.
Jade kisses the top of Tori's head "Merry Christmas Vega, I love you" Jade walks away leaving the box behind as she leaves.
Tori doesn't say goodbye and keeps staring at the tree while glancing at the box Jade left from time to time "No Tori don't open the box, if will just break your heart" Tori said to herself and sips her coffee. After several seconds she looks around to see if Jade was around. "Oh fuck it" she takes the box and opens it seeing a key "A key? This must be for a dungeon" Tori says sarcastically as she takes the key out the box then see's that its attached to a NYC license plate key chain. Tori then notices it's engrave and gasps when she reads the words "Move with me?" on the key chain. "Oh my god!" Tori squeals happily not thinking that Jade was never going to ask her to join her.
"Well is that a yes?" Jade says from behind.
Tori smiles at her and goes over to her and kisses her then squeals "Yes yes yes! I will move with you!" Tori says happily then says, "I love you" against Jade's lips as they continue kissing
"I remember that" Jade says watching her and Tori being a happy couple. "That's when I knew Tori was the one for me and I couldn't live without her" Jade says feeling bad about how their relationship is turning out now.
"I always knew you two were meant to be together, don't prove me wrong." Sikowitz says
Jade turns to look at Sikowitz "Now what do you…" she notices that he is gone and that she is back in her condo. "What the fuck? Can I get a warning when you leave or take me to another location?" Jade says out loud talking as she expects someone to reply. She then sits back on the couch. "Might as well watch some TV till the next Spirit comes to see me"
