Hello again~~~~~~

Joan felt ready to burst with happiness as she took in her surroundings. Lena and Bends were busy having a conversation, not noticing Chloe inching over with a mistletoe in her clawed hand while Spike snickered at the female shark. Slammu and Moby were busy watching a football game, groaning when their team didn't gain points and howling with glee when they did.

Stegz and Bullzeye were busy eating on the cookies and drinking eggnog, trying not to get caught by Mantaman and Streex, who were busy cooking Christmas dinner. Rox was busy trying to sweet talk Streex into getting himself some of the sweets that she kept swatting his hand from; it seemed like it was working from Streex's blush and Rox's smirk.

"What are you doing all alone Ripster?" A deep voice said from behind her, making her look up to see T-Bone looking at her with concern. Ripster just gave him a smirk, "Nothing, just enjoying this lovely view." T-Bone smirked back as he too looked about at everyone. Ripster lost her smile as T-Bone got caught up in conversation with Stegz and Bullzeye. 'I wish you were still here ma.' Rip-no Joan thought as memories hit her.

Joan smiled as her mother danced a goofy dance with her dad while she and her sisters laughed. Soon she and the others joined their parents and all were laughing, joy radiating off them.

Mary and Robert smiled as they watched their daughters open their presents, hugging their parents as thanks for the wonderful gifts.

On Christmas morning they would rush down to open the presents that Santa brought them while their father would make a pot of coffee and their mother would get her camera ready, both smiling all the while.

Afterwards all of them would snuggle up and watch Christmas movies and fall asleep all snuggled and warm.

"Ri….st…ipster…Ripster!" Jabs yelled catching Ripster out of her daydream. "Yes?" she asked, noticing everyone looking at her; Jabs rolled her eyes playfully before pointing upwards. Ripster looked above to see the mistletoe hanging above her and…..T-Bone, who was blushing wildly.

"W-we d-d-don't h-have to k-kiss if you d-don't won't t-to." The dino hybrid said blushing wildy. Ripster smiled before wrapping her arms around T-Bone and pressing her lips to his in a sweet kiss; everyone cheered and gave wolf whistles. As they broke apart T-Bone brought his forehead to hers, "I love you." He said in a husky voice, that made her smile, "I love you too." She whispered while kissing him once more.
