Daniel was walking through the mall looking for something to give Fixit and his friends for Christmas, though he still didn't like the holiday completely, he wasn't going to be a scrooge towards everyone else.

He sighed as he left the second computer store that he had looked at and had found nothing for Fixit. He had found something for everyone else, like a book for Gwen, a shirt that MJ had been wanting since she had shown it to him when they had gone to the mall as friends some time ago. He sighed when he remembered that he still haven't gotten anything for Felicia yet. He had no idea what she liked, other than the rumor that she liked him.

He shook his head at that. Even though Clockwork had told him that he had to learn to love again, he wasn't ready…yet and he doubted if he would ever be. He still cared and he loved his friends, but love in that sense was still out of his reach for now. Daniel sat down at the food court of the mall at one of the desks and looked around.

The mall wasn't that different from the one in Amity that Daniel and his friends sometimes hanged out at other than the different stores and food places. The whole place, however, was covered with Christmas decorations for Christmas with a sit with Santa booth and a small train ride in the front section of it. Daniel sighed as he stood up to look over the two booths from the food court and exhaled in peace.

It was snowing outside, he could tell, but still with him being a walking, breathing ice cube, he disliked it. He sighed as he continued to walk through the mall looking for anything that he might find that Felicia or Fixit would like.

But what do you get from someone that could have anything at their wish? He asked as he found himself in front of an old thrift store that was somehow in the mall. Well, Sam always did say that these stores were better than the others. He thought as he went inside, but if I can't find something here, I'll get them a gift card.

That night, Fixit and Daniel arrived at the Hardy's Manor and parked in the garage. Daniel was wearing a new suit and Fixit had created a fancier look for his suit that was blue and silver, but still held that robot look that he had. Daniel yawned suddenly and stretched.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well last night?" Fixit asked confused. There wasn't a lot of crime the day before Christmas Eve so he knew that Daniel got to bed sometime during the night and got enough sleep.

"Never mind about it, just something happened." Daniel said as he grabbed the presents from the trunk. Fixit cocked an eye-brow at that. He knew something was up with Daniel.

"It wouldn't have something to do with a stray Black Cat would it?" Daniel breathed deeply at that and glared at Fixit, but didn't say anything as he lifted the 7 presents up and then headed to the elevator. Fixit arched an eye-brow at that. Daniel had never acted like that, but then he sighed, he knew that girl was trouble.

Once they arrived on the top floor, they found everyone waiting for them. "About time, Tiger" MJ smiled.

"You know me, always fashionable late," He smirked as he placed the seven presents next to where the others were underneath a huge Christmas tree in the room. The whole place was covered by Christmas decorations as Daniel looked around to see MJ, Gwen, MJ's Aunt, Mr. Stacy, Mrs. Hardy and Felicia in the room.

However, when he looked at Felicia, he gasped as his mouth hanged open. She was wearing a black halter cocktail dress that showed off a lot of her cleavage that had cut outs on its side and a slit on her left leg that showed it off with white knee-high high-heeled boots and some make up on with her white hair following down her back. As Daniel continued to look at her, someone suddenly elbowed him in the chest as he groaned.

"What was that for?" He asked Fixit.

"No ogling one of our hostesses,"

"I was…I am not answering that and I was not," He whispered.

"Sure you weren't."

Daniel just huffed and walked off after that leaving Fixit completely annoyed.

"What seems to be the problem?" Someone asked. Fixit turned to see… "Mrs. Hardy," standing next to him,

"There is no trouble, other than…well, I believe my godson might have a small," Big, "Crush on your daughter," Fixit said to her.

"Oh," Mrs. Hardy said, but then she smirked "Well, then I have something to tell you, my daughter has a major crush on your godson," Fixit went wide eye at that. Mmm, that is either be good or bad, He thought. Fixit sighed after that.

"Is there a problem?"

"Perhaps, Daniel still has not gotten over his first crush, which…passed on a year after he lost his family. He never even found out if she cared for him like he did for her and it…it just is something I shouldn't have said and that he hates to talk about." Fixit said shaking his head. Mrs. Hardy nodded as she watched the two interact.

"I do hope that he does heal from that and, to put it bluntly…"

"Move on, I know. I have attempted to get him to do that by setting him up with a dance date with Ms. Mary Jane Watson, but in the end it is all up to him," Fixit said sadly.

"You care for him don't you?"

"I knew his parents since college and was good friends with them and him and never wanted any bad to happen to him…but then two years ago it did." Fixit said sadly.

"May I ask what?"

"It is his place to say, not mine," Fixit said to her. Mrs. Hardy nodded again at that and then looked at Daniel.

"He sure is tall though," Fixit chuckled at that.

"He is only 6'5'' his father was over 7 feet tall, he still has a way to grow."

"Interesting," Mrs. Hardy said as she and Fixit continued to watch the party and how Felicia and Daniel interacted.

"Wow, Tiger, you clean up pretty good," MJ smiled at him. Daniel smiled and said

"With three beautiful women in front of me, any normal guy would have lost conscious." MJ, Gwen and Felicia face's blushed red at that.

"Anyway how's vacation treating ya?" He asked.

"Ok,"

"The lab job's still ok, even with the Alien stolen," Gwen said. Daniel sighed,

"Is Eddie still mad at me even through it was proven that Phantom didn't take the Alien?"

"Yeah, so I'll give him so space," Gwen said sadly. Daniel nodded at that, but then felt someone grab his ass a little, but then leave. He turned to see Felicia leaving, swaying her hips in a very flirtatious manner. Daniel gulped after that and then turned back to MJ and Gwen.

"What's up?"

"Nothing," Daniel said a little too quickly, but Gwen and MJ didn't say anything. As the party continued, every talked and relax and Daniel kept an eye on Felicia in case of anything, but then soon the party ended and they all headed home.
