Oh, the snow's not covering the streets

There might not be a tree decorated to the brim

With candy canes and shiny little orbs

But we can still sip on coco by a fire

And sing holiday songs while our hands are clasped tight

Under the stars

On Christmas Night

-Me


Jack knew that day that he didn't need to meet Tooth or Baby Tooth that day since it was Saturday, the day of the Christmas Town party.

Of course, the whole time he was picking up soda cans and a food that fell in the ocean. He wasn't happy with all the trash floating around and didn't really his turtle friends sick again.

He floated a bit away from the shore, watching the lights from the center of the town flash and the tree glow with candy canes and bright lights as colorful as Baby Tooth's and Tooth's hair. He smiled and ducked underwater quickly before anybody could see him.

He started grabbing more gems and stones buried underneath the sand and placed them into a little red pouch at his hip. He grabbed a few pieces of broken coral and carried it back to his cave. Then he'd figured out a way to prank a few mers in the city with the things he snatched.

He spent most of his evening like that. Pick up the trash. Search for knick-knacks. Plan pranks. Watch the party drowning on into dawn. Wait for everything to be over.

He didn't expect Tooth to be on the beach, wrapped up in a blanket and the lights of the town dull behind her. The lights were bright enough to illuminate her face and the outline of her body that was curled up tightly in the blue blanket. She smiled at him and kicked off her shoes, and plopped down on the shore.

Jack raised an eyebrow and crawled onto shore and lay next to her. He tilted his head to one shoulder with a small smile.

"Did the cops show up?" Jack asked. Tooth snorted and closed her eyes with a smirk. Jack chuckled and shook his head.

"Nope. People got bored and my little sisters had to get to bed before it got too late for them." Tooth shrugged. She yawned and quickly threw her hand up to cover it. Jack pressed his lips in a line.

"You should be heading to bed yourself." Jack told Tooth. Tooth rolled her eyes and waved him off.

"That's coming from 'Mister-I-stay-up-till-three-a.m.-planning-pranks- and-playing-with-dolphins'." Tooth crossed her arms. Jack glared at her a bit before his eyes moved to the necklace around her neck. He let a small smile take onto his face. Tooth's eyes brightened and she took out a small box from the blanket.

"I got you your gift." She said simply.

Jack examined the small white and blue box before taking it tenderly and opened the lid slowly. Inside was a bracelet. Each bead was made of wood and coated in a protective covering so it wouldn't wear out. Each wooden bead had a snowflake, all different from each other. He lifted his head; a bright snow-white smile reached his ears.

"Snowflakes?" He asked. Tooth nodded.

"You mentioned a few times how you wanted to see snow one day. And you're always drawing snowflakes in the sand or in my notebook since I showed you my books. I thought you would like it." Tooth smiled softly. Jack laughed happily and took the bracelet out carefully. Then he slipped it onto his right wrist and examined it a bit.

"I like it-love it! R-really! I do." Jack smiled. Tooth smiled bigger then and slowly it turned into a yawn. Jack turned onto his back and lifted himself up so he sat up. Tooth looked at him tiredly and titled her head.

"What?" He copied her actions. Tooth shook her head and craned her neck to gaze at the stars. Jack looked up and frowned.

"Do you know any constellations in the sky?" Tooth asked. Jack shrugged.

"Little dipper, Big dipper, Usra Major and Minor…" Jack started listing off everything he knew about the stars. He talked about how he knew most of the info because mermaid history was tied to the stars, in a kind of…complicated way.

By the end he was done talking, Jack was leaning against Tooth and the only sound was the waves crashing onto the shore and the crickets squealing their nightly song. Tooth grinned and curled up deeper into the blanket, trying to keep her eyes open. Jack sighed and nudged Tooth in the ribs.

"Go home and sleep dumby." He said softly. Tooth whined and shook her head.

"No." She pouted.

"Fine then, I'll have to send a big wave of salt water towards and-"

"I'm up, I'm up." Tooth groaned and lifted herself off the ground. Jack was about to say his goodbyes when Tooth leaned down and gave a quick peck on the cheek. He flushed a light blue and murmured "Bye Tooth" before sinking back into the water slowly. Tooth smiled and nodded tiredly, disappearing behind the exit with a yawn.

"One day, those girls will be the death of me." Jack grumbled before disappearing into the waves.
