"Becca please don't be upset with me. I didn't think you thought of me like that," Emily said quietly. "It's not that; you called me Tiny Maus, only one person has ever called me that" sobbing the words out Becca couldn't control herself. Emily had struck a sore spot, "I don't underst…oh! This is about The Kommissar isn't it! You still love her don't you? How sweet" cried Emily. Becca looked up to Emily. "Words cannot describe my feelings for her, I'm so stupid for letting he slip through my fingers. I should have been better to her in Copenhagen; it's just I had a boyfriend, and we had the worlds going on. I thought I liked her, but then she would be all hateful to me, then again alone she was an angel. I'm so confused. She invited me to her hotel, and what did I do? I threw a hissy fit and ran away." Emily was picking her words carefully, not wanting to trigger the small brunette again. "She's a predator, she confuses lots of girls, that's how she gets them, but Becca believe me, she does miss you too." "How do you know?" Becca was puzzled. "She made our lives hell following Copenhagen. I've never seen her so distraught about someone. Not to be rude, but it looks like you need her bad." A blemish of hope blasted into Becca's blue eyes but quickly turned to stone, its hopeless, she lives in Germany, it's impossible.
A few weeks after the Thanksgiving incident, The Kommissar subject has been dropped; Becca has been out of control. Rage has taken over her body. She is a bitch 2.0 at work and no one wants to deal with her. Michael called Emily into his office. "New girl, what's Reggie's deal? She is going to run the help off, everyone is calling in left and right, and she is going to run this place in the dirt." Emily quietly explained the deal to her boss hoping Becca wasn't listening. Michael was taken back. "So, the badass Becca Mitchell is in love. Well go get her ass laid, I can't have her ruining this place, and she's too good of a producer to let go."
Emily knew she had to get the two women together so they could reconcile. Christmas was close and that would be perfect. "Hey Becca you got a second" Emily asking timidly. All Becca could mumble was "sure." "I was wondering if you had any plans for Christmas" Emily slowly approaching Becca. "No, my family is going on a cruise so I'm staying home, merry damn Christmas to me." Emily wasn't sure how to respond, but sticking to the plan she asked "Would you like to accompany me to Germany for Christmas?" Becca was stumped but flattered, with the way she was treating everyone and what transpired at Thanksgiving, Emily forgave all of that and wanted to actually spend more time with her. In over Three weeks, Becca flashed a smirk and a simple "Yes." Emily jolted over to the frail woman and hugged her tight.
Emily got home that evening with one thing on her mind, she had to make a phone call. She looked at her clock; it was showing 10:30pm. She made the call hoping the girl picked up. "Hallo?" the mystery voice said in a tired tone. "Mina, it's me Em." "Oh, my what a surprise, how are you?" Mina was excited, she hasn't heard from her best friend in months. "I'm great but hey listen, we need to talk" Emily sounded worried. "Ja sure, is there something wrong" Mina added in concern. "Are you still planning on staying with us for Christmas?" "Ja, of course I am Emily, I've stayed every year since I was 6 years old, why wouldn't I now?" Emily cheered up, "Well then, I certainly have a surprise for you". Mina loves surprises, "What is it, a gift? No wait, please I do love a good surprise." Emily had to tell her, "You'll have to live because I have to tell you. I'm bringing a Little Maus to Christmas." Emily sat and waited for her friend's reaction. Mina was sounding puzzled, "Wait, why would you bring me a little maus?" "No, No, not a maus-maus, your very tiny, feisty Maus" Emily said with a chuckle. Emily heard ruffling on the other end of the line, "You there?" She asked. Ja I'm here, it's just, how? "We work together at Fantasy Records and have become good friends." She went on to tell the situation and what has all transpired since that night at Thanksgiving.
"Listen Mina, whatever happened or didn't happen back at Worlds doesn't matter now." I go to work every day, seeing hurt and fear in that woman's eyes. It's the same look I've seen in yours." "Emily, I don't know, I haven't seen or heard from her in four years. She cannot be into me after all this time" Mina cried. Emily felt like she was losing this battle. "Well she never met you before the Auto Show and she basically eye fucked you, then there was the riff-off and before Worlds…" "Yes, Emily I am aware. Does she know that I will be at Christmas too?" "No, I want to surprise her, if she knows I'm afraid she won't come" Emily sounding confident. Mina has become flustered with joy. The thought of potentially being reunited with the one that got away made her heart flutter. "Emily, are you sure about all of this, I do not want to look like a fool, and I can't handle being rejected twice by her." "Yes, Mina I am sure, this woman was made for you, emotionally and physically. I swear she is your other half" Emily added with joy. Mina couldn't help but squeal like a teenage girl "okay I'm in, I'll have to get my little maus a toy now."
The two childhood friends continued on for hours trying to catch up. They talked Christmas being next week and all the arrangements. Upon agreement, they said their goodbyes. "This is going to be fun," Emily said to herself with a smirk.
