Friday has arrived, and the students of Acme Loo were looking forward to see what their fellow classmates will give them when they pass out presents. Plus, the Christmas Dance will be taking place tonight, and the students were really looking forward to that as well.
Furrball was walking down the hall, seeing the students chatting with each other. He then saw Fifi, talking with Babs & Shirley. He saw that Fifi seemed to be quite happy, as if she got over the break-up with Hamton. Seeing her happy put a smile on Furrball's face.
The bell rang & everyone made their way to class. But Furrball walked the other way, heading to the restroom. As he got to the restroom door, Sylvester came out & nearly bumped into him.
"Oh, hey Furrball", Sylvester said, "how are you doing this morning?" Furrball gave a thumbs up with a smile. "Good. Did you get a present for someone?"
Furrball nodded & Sylvester replied, "That's great, I hope they'll like it. Hey listen, you better get going or you'll be late for class."
Furrball nodded, showing that he understands. Sylvester let him pass into the restroom, which was completely empty. He went up to the mirror above the sink & took out Fifi's present from his backpack. It was all neatly wrapped up. He looked at himself in the mirror while holding the present. He was very nervous about giving the locket to Fifi in front of everybody. After all, the only thing Furrball ever did with Fifi was being chased by her. But he knows that it must be done. He wanted to make Fifi happy, and this was his one moment, his one chance to do so. Then, realising that class was about to start, he put Fifi's present back into his backpack & ran off to class.

In the classroom, all of the desks were placed in a circle with the students sitting next to each other. Furrball was sitting between Buster Bunny & Calamity Coyote. Bugs Bunny, who was standing at the side of the room, spoke up. "All right students, the time has come. It is now time to begin spreading out the Christmas cheers & pass out presents."
The students all smiled, even Furrball was smiling, despite still feeling nervous. "So", Bugs continued, "let's get started with our first present, starting with Buster & going clockwise."
Buster took his present out & turned to Babs, who was sitting next to him.
"Here you go, Babs", Buster said as he handed her the gift. "Merry Christmas." Babs opened up the present & inside were two earrings that looked like carrots.
"Oh, how lovely", Babs said, "Thank you, Buster."
"You're welcome."
"I have a present for you as well."
"Oh, I wonder what it is."
Buster opened up his present & inside was a little doll that looked like Babs. It was made of wool with two buttons used for the eyes & it had a yellow shirt & purple skirt just like Babs always wear.
"Oh, nice", Buster said. "Do you like it?", Babs asked, "I made it by myself."
"I do, it's really nice. Thank you."
"Merry Christmas, Buster."
The class continued taking turns passing their presents all around. When it was Elmyra's turn, she got up & approached Furrball with a present.
Furrball couldn't believe it; someone actually got him a Christmas present. But out of all the people in the class, it had to be the one person he hated the most.
Furrball can easily remember living with Elmyra & how badly she's been treating him. Every time he thinks about it, it would send a chill down his spine that would make him shiver.
He opened up his present & got a red ball of yarn. He liked the present, though he didn't like that he got it from Elmyra.
"Merry Christmas, my cute little kitty-witty", Elmyra said, and Furrball flattened his ears & pouted. But then he smiled at Elmyra, which is his way of saying 'thank you'.
"Okay, Elmyra", said Bugs Bunny, "you may take your seat." As Elmyra turned from Furrball, he made a look of disgust, after being called a 'cute little kitty-witty' in front of the whole class.
The remaining students gave out their presents to their fellow classmates, until it was all down to Furrball, the last student in the circle.
"Okay, Furrball", said Bugs, "it's your turn."
This was it, Furrball knew the time has come to do his thing. He got up out of his desk with the present in his hands & went to the center of the circle. Furrball looked around & saw many pairs of eyes staring at him. His heart was beating fast as he started to become nervous again. Finally, after a while, he turned to Fifi & approached her. A few of the students gasped quietly in surprise as Furrball presented Fifi's present.
Even Fifi gasped as she said, "For me?" Furrball nodded as Fifi took the present. She looked down at it in shock for a bit, with Furrball still standing in front of her.
"Like, go on Fifi", Shirley said, "open it."
Fifi opened up her present & gasped in surprise as she saw the gold heart-shaped locket in the box.
"Oh my gosh", she exclaimed as she took out the locket. "Eet eez beauteeful!"
Upon hearing those words, Furrball smiled as the nervous feeling left him.
"Put it on, Fifi", Babs said, "let's see how you look with it."
Fifi put the locket on & looked down at it. She was very happy with it. "How do I look?", she asked.
"Like, your look great!", Shirley replied. "Yeah, I think that locket really suits you", Babs said.
"I love eet", Fifi exclaimed, "I really, really love eet. This is zhe best gift I've ever gotten from anyone."
Furrball felt even more happy upon hearing those words. Suddenly, Fifi got up out of her desk & came up to Furrball. She hugged him & gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Cat", Fifi said to Furrball as she smiled at him.
"Awwwwwwwww", some of the students said, as Furrball was blushing with his hands behind his back & smiled back at Fifi.

Later that day, Babs, Fifi, and Shirley were walking down the hall, talking about the locket Fifi got from Furrball.
"I gotta say, Fifi", Babs said, "that locket looks very nice on you."
"Like, I agree", said Shirley, "I think you look better in that locket than any other girls here or some junk."
"Merci, mes amis", Fifi replied, "I look tres pretty, no?"
"Like, you sure do, Feef", Shirley replied, "You do look pretty."
Then Fifi stopped as she saw Furrball, putting things away in his locker. The other girls saw him too as Babs said, "That was really nice of him to give you such a great Christmas gift."
"Oui, eet eez", Fifi replied. Then, after about a moment, Fifi started walking up to Furrball as the other girls looked on.
As Fifi approached Furrball, she said, "Bonjour, Monsieur Cat." Furrball looked & smiled upon seeing Fifi. He waved hello to her as he closed his locker.
"I just wanna say", Fifi continued, "thank you for zhis locket. I really love eet. I've never gotten a gift as good as zhis from anybody."
Furrball smiled at Fifi as he put his hands behind his back & stared down at the floor. Fifi then asked, "How can I ever, how you say, pay vous back?"
Furrball then looked back up at Fifi. He didn't know what to tell her. He looked over to his right, where he saw a poster for the Christmas Dance.
He looked back at Fifi & pointed at her, then at himself, then finally at the poster. Fifi looked at the poster, then back at Furrball.
"Wait", Fifi said, "are you asking moi to go to zhe Christmas Dance weez vous?" Furrball smiled & nodded his head. Then suddenly, Fifi pounced on him & wrapped her tail around him, almost knocking Furrball off balance.
"Oui! Oui! Of course I weell! I would LOVE to go to the Dance weeth vous!" Furrball was completely caught off guard, as he could smell Fifi's odor reaching his nose. Quickly, he took a deep breath & held it for as long as he could.
Finally, Fifi got off of Furrball & said, "So, zhe Christmas Dance starts at 7 o'clock. Would you like to meet moi at zhe campus?"
Furrball, who was still holding his breath, quickly nodded. "Alright", Fifi said, "I weell see vous tonight at 7:00. Au revoir, mon petite pussycat of passion."
As she turned to leave, she flirtingly brushed her tail under Furrball's chin. When Fifi returned to her friends, he exhaled & started to breathe again, knowing that Fifi's foul odor is gone. He looked back at Fifi & sighed in relief, because he now has someone to go to the Christmas Dance with. That thought put another smile on his face. As Furrball picked up his backpack, he heard someone come up to him. He thought it was Fifi again, but he turned & saw Shirley instead.
"Hey Furrball", she said, "like, did you really ask Fifi to the Dance or some junk?"
As Furrball nodded, Shirley replied, "That's great. I'm glad Fifi's got someone to go to the Dance with. Like, she doesn't deserve to go alone, especially after what happened between her & Hamton."
Furrball nodded in agreement. Shirley was making perfect sense, as Furrball felt the same way about Fifi.
"Well", Shirley continued, "like, since you're going with her, I think there's something you should do for her. See that banner over there?" She pointed past Furrball. He turned to see the large, white banner that Shirley was pointing at.
"That banner", she continued, "is where people write down songs they want to be played at the Christmas Dance. Like, they won't accept all the songs, but most of them or some junk."
Furrball looked back at Shirley as he waited for her to continue. "Like, there is one song you should put on that banner." She got close to Furrball & whispered in his ear. When she finished, Furrball looked back at Shirley. "Like, it's her favorite song", she explained. "Anyway, don't tell Fifi or anyone else about it, keep it a surprise", Shirley told Furrball as she winked at him. Furrball gave Shirley a thumbs up, which is his way of saying 'got it'. As Shirley turned to leave, Furrball went up to the banner. There were so many songs written on it that other students requested, some of them being Christmas-themed songs. Others just having 'Christmas' in their names, such as "Please Come Home For Christmas" by Bon Jovi & "Mistress For Christmas" by AC/DC. Furrball wasn't so sure if they will play the song Shirley wanted him to write down, but it's worth a try.
He set down his backpack, took out a pencil, and wrote down the song Shirley told him, which she claimed is Fifi's favorite song.
