I'm dreaming of a white christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your christmases be white

"Leo!" Jason hissed. "Yesterday, you almost ruined everything."

"What?" Leo glanced innocently at his best friend. "I made things better!"

"No? She almost didn't buy our cover story because of you. Don't appear suddenly making everything awkward! You were suppose to come when Plan A fails and it was going pretty good."

Leo shook his head and sighed. "Silly Jason. You have lots to learn."

Jason frowned. "Leo, sometimes I have no idea what's on your mind, and I don't want to know."

"Let's keep it that way then." Leo shrugged. "And hey, chocolates were my thing!"

"Sorry!" Jason blushed. "You should have told me not to get them if you were paying attention to me a few days ago! Now she got them, we can't like take it back."

"It's fine, whatever. I didn't even get it yet."

"So who do you have for secret santa?"

"I'm not telling!" Leo sang gleefully.

"So you got me." Jason concluded. "People don't tell their best friend who they got when they got them."

"No." Leo denied.

"Yes and I have been there. Dakota got me one year and refused to tell me who he got. I got it out of him after he got drunk with kool-aid."

"Got drunk with kool-aid." Leo repeated. "I like this guy."


"Who do you have for secret santa?" Jason asked Piper. Please let it be me, Jason prayed silently. Ever since he realized he got Paige for Secret Santa, he was hoping Piper got him instead.

"Oh.." Piper's cheek flushed pink. "Um..I'm not suppose to tell anyone."

Jason's spirit soared. People don't reveal their secret santa when they got there person. "It's alright, you don't have to tell me."

"No, Sparky, I need your advice. I got Leo and I don't know what to give him. If he wants anything, he could just make it for himself." Piper paused as Jason's heart sunk. Leo, right. That lucky beast.

"True." Jason glanced wistfully away. "You should just get him a hammer or something."

"Didn't you already got that for him?"

"Oh yeah." Jason froze. Right, the hammer which he supposedly gave Leo. The hammer which they found in the camp forge. "I-I just thought he might like another one."

"Right." Piper nodded. "A hammer it is. Or should I just get him a toolbox?

"Whatever you like. It's your choice." Jason shrugged. "But I think what he'll appreciate most is a girlfriend."

Piper giggled. "I don't think anyone in camp wants to go out with him. Apparently, he's too 'wild' and 'annoying' for their taste."

"He's pretty desperate for one." Jason told her.

"He digs your sister." Piper replied. "Last summer, he was totally into her."

"Cough disgusting!" Jason exclaimed. "She's a hunter anyway."

"And he thought the no-dating thing was seasonal." Piper laughed.


"It's Stoll again." Katie groaned.

"What did he do this time?" Miranda asked lightly.

"I have no idea but he's always up to something. It's getting suspicious. So far in the day, he haven't plot any pranks on me."

"Oh look, there he is." Miranda hissed pointing as a familiar impish face appeared.

"Stoll, just tell me what you played on me today." Katie snarled.

"Played? Oh, you mean pranks!" Travis laughed. "I didn't play any pranks on you!"

"Fat chance." Miranda rolled her eyes. "It better not be on our cabin. I live in it."

"Drew said that we shouldn't play pranks on girls we have a crush on." Travis shrugged casually. Yes, he have practiced this conversation thousands of times with Drew.

"What?" Katie almost yelled. "Girls we have a crush on?" she repeated.

"You are joking." Miranda's eyes widen.

"Whatever." Travis rolled his eyes and sauntered away.

"Did it go as planned?" Drew confronted Travis.

"Yes." Travis' eyes gleamed brightly. "Thank you! Now which shop is it you want me to steal the ring from again?"


"Leo, I have been getting all these presents from a secret admirer." Piper stated.

"Yeah? I know." Leo muttered.

"You do?" Piper exclaimed. "Who is it?"

"Oh that." Leo grinned. "It's-" He quickly covered his mouth with his hand. "Wait..I'm not suppose to tell you anything! Did you charmspeak me?"

Piper couldn't withdraw her laughters from Leo's reaction but managed to get herself together by pinching herself. "No but oh my gods, you should have seen yourself."

"Anyway, Beauty Queen you should go and get your present today." Leo checked his watch. "Yup, it should be there by now."

"What? Is there like a particular time he goes and drop a gift?"

"Yeah, duh!" Leo said as if it's super obvious. "And everyday there's somebody to distract you so you won't be at your cabin when he drops the gift. Today's my turn."

Piper wasn't very amused as she heard that her friends 'take turns' distracting her everyday. Nonetheless, she kept a straight face and dragged Leo into her cabin. "Come on! Today's seven swans a swimming. I want to see what he did today."

"Wow. Your cabin is.." Leo coughed. "I can't breathe."

"Perfume." Piper sniffed the air. "Must be some new fragrance. Now let's get to the present."

"Okay." Leo fanned the air in front of him with his hands and spluttered. "It's right over there, probably behind the tree."

Piper speed-walked behind her pear tree and found medium sized present. It was relatively flat packaged. Catching Leo's eyes, she ripped the package open to find a deflated, rubbery float.

"Credits to me!" Leo managed to announce. "I thought of this gift! You know, now you can go swimming with the seven swans!"

On the seventh day of Christmas

My true love gave to me

Seven Swans a Swimmin

Six Geese a Layin

Five Golden Rings

Four Calling Birds

Three French Hens

Two Turtle Doves

And a Partridge on a Pear Tree
