Casey sighed to himself as he packed away the last dish of the Lunch Rush, popping the kinks out of his back he smile to himself now he was officially finished for the day. Passing the safe keys as well as the front door keys to JKP to Theo he headed upstairs to the Loft to seek out his mate, Casey felt a warm feeling build up inside of him it had been a little over a month since he and RJ had for all intensive purposes marriage.

The bonding ceremony they had taken part in by Phai Zhuq law had bound both them and their sprits together for life, looking down at the simple ring on his finger engraved with the Phai Zhuq symbols for the wolf and contentment made Casey feel prouder then the day he became a Ranger. Suddenly the sound of cursing and a loud crash followed by a child's laugher made Casey race up the stairs, worried something was attacking Casey kicked in to tiger mode until he saw the cause of the commotion.

His not so graceful at times mate was sat confusedly on the floor, covered in a mess of what appeared to be Christmas lights, while the base of a ladder lay at his feet alongside Casey 4 year old son who was on RJ prized chair laughing. As Casey calmed himself down his first instinct was to check on his son before checking on his mate.

"RJ what the…" Casey was so confused he couldn't explain it until he took a look around him.

The Loft was no longer the spartan training ground the Ranger's had come to know; now it was a glittering wonderland with a 7ft tree at the centre of it. Casey was slightly more confused by this since RJ was not of the regions that celebrated Christmas, if Casey remembered correctly he followed the older belief of Phai Zhuq just as his father Master Finn and his mother Master Guin had.

"Your probably wondering what I'm doing?" asked RJ as he saw the confused look as it crossed his mates face.

"The thought did cross my mind" said Casey as he helped RJ and untangled his mate from the lights.

"Though Christmas is not usually a holiday I celebrate, usually I pass this time of year at the Academy with my mother's spirt but I figured this year since I'm not alone I'd share it with you all. After all it is the season of good will is it not?" asked RJ with a smiled as he picked up Casey's son.

"So let me get this straight your doing all this for Dom, me, Lilly, Fran and Theo?" asked Casey as RJ scowled.

"And don't forget Benny here, but yes Cub alone wolf I may have been but even alone wolves need a pack. You and the Ranger's made me realise that when you all came into my life, so if it means sharing a holiday I don't celebrate with you all then I think I can do that," said RJ with a smile as he pulled Casey closer and kissed him.

"Well putting that way I can't see the bad side but please RJ let me help you before you kill yourself," said Casey as RJ laughed.

"Ok oh great tiger lead the way" said RJ as he smacked Casey on the butt making Casey growl and Benny laugh as they followed him.


The Rangers and Fran gathered in the Loft after closing time, they where filled with awe and wonder as they saw what RJ had done for them. Casey felt so proud of this mate as he stood proudly before them ready to turn on the lights.

"RJ this is amazing, you really did it all for us?" asked Lilly as the other agreed.

"It was the least I could for you, all of you have brought so much into my life that I never really knew I was missing thank you" said RJ as he hugged each of the Rangers then Fran, after that RJ went over to the main light box and went to turn on the lights

"Guy if you please" said RJ as the Rangers smiled and stared to count down

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1…oh crap" said RJ as the lights blew and JKP was plunged into darkness.

"Anyone know where the breaker is?" asked Dom with a laugh as RJ grumbled something about the kitchens.

Casey stood where he was in the darkness with Benny as the others stumbled round.

"Daddy silly" said Ben as suddenly Casey agreed with his son and made a mental note:

'Note to self next year get someone else to decorate the Loft for Christmas' Thought Casey to himself as they waited for the lights to come back on.
