Sorry about the late update, I've been busy helping my sister pack and I just came home today from a family party! So make for make up, I will do two chapters and maybe three if I'm not tired.

Well its what you all have been waiting for, Christmas morning for our Strawberry friends and no more Freddy! Everyone had a very late night with Nagisa coming home from the hospital and make up for the day of war. I added a couple of surprises into this chapter. Enjoy the last two days of Christmas break for our friends!


Nagisa woke up to a cold chill that came into room. She opened her eyes to a dark morning and decided to get up. She removed her baby's arm and grabbed her clothes from the table, in the corner. Nagisa went into the bathroom and took a quick hot shower. When she got out, she remembered what day it was… Christmas! She dried her hair and changed quickly without Shizuma waking up. Nagisa walked over to the closest and took up a sack of presents and went downstairs. Under the tree in the living room were presents from everyone else and she decided to join in with hers.

As soon as she placed the last present, she went upstairs to see and newly woken Shizuma. She skipped over and kissed her warmly. " Merry Christmas, honey!" Nagisa said into her ear.

Shizuma yawned softly and hugged her lover around the waist. " Merry Christmas to you too, baby. I'm going into a shower, want to come?" She began walking over with her clothes.

Nagisa shook her head and said, " Already did, sorry. I'm heading into the kitchen to make breakfast. See you when you get out."

Nagisa skipped out of the room and downstairs. She saw Tamao and Hikari come behind her. They wanted to help make breakfast and Nagisa nodded and they began.


While everyone was getting ready for the day, Yaya was in the shower and was thinking how to ask Tsubomi to marry her. ' I don't want to do it in front of everyone and I don't want to do it right before we leave either. I think I will do it tonight, when everyone heads to bed. I hope she says 'yes' and becomes happy like everyone else. I would feel like the luckiest woman in the world if she does.' She smiled and got out to dry off. ' It would make me happy to see that she is going to be my future. I love you, Tsubomi. With all my heart and soul.' Yaya stepped out of the shower and saw her little cutie, rubbing her eyes after a long night.

" Merry Christmas, Tsubomi. I have something to ask you." Yaya says as she walks over to her baby. ' What am I doing! I thought I was doing it tonight instead of now! But to late now, its now or never.'

Tsubomi hot up and hugged her Yaya. " Merry Christmas to you too, Yaya. What do you want to ask?" She sat on the bed again.

Yaya looked into her cute little eyes and poured out her heart. " Ever since Hikari fell in love with Amane, I thought that I would never fall in love again. But I had her since she came to Spica two years ago. She and I used to fight all the time until the day of the Etoile election between Spica and Miatar. She stayed with me in the same room and on the same bed. She never left my side until we fell asleep together. I thought to myself that I found her, the one just right for me. Even though her and I fight most of the time, she has great make up sex and kissing. But that's not what I fell in love her with." Yaya saw that Tsubomi was beginning to cry. She wiped the tears away and continued talking.

" I fell in love with her because she was there for me when I need help the most and need someone to hold. But later on in time, it began to grow into something really beautiful and it turned into ' I love yous'. I had this one thought that wouldn't come out my head and its about to come out now. So I will give my best with it…" Yaya kneeled on the ground and held out a black box and opened it. " My dear sweet little Tsubomi, will you marry me?"

Tsubomi nodded and jumped onto Yaya on the ground. She gave rapid kisses as she slid the ring onto Tsubomi's finger. " I love you so much, Yaya!"

" I love you too, my little angel." Yaya wiped her tears away and told her to get ready and meet her downstairs. Tsubomi went into a shower and was happy to know that the one she loves will always be with her.


Shizuma, Amane, Shion, Chikaru, Chiyo, and Miyuki were in the living room talking about what they should do today. Yaya came down with a huge smile on and sat on the ground, hugging her knees. She giggled and everyone stopped talking and looked at her.

" What's with the huge smile, Yaya?" Shizuma asked as she turned toward her.

" Ya, you seem a little too happy this morning than you usually are." Shion said and then got a whack in the head from Chikaru. " What! It's the truth."

Yaya got up when she saw Tsubomi down and she pointed at her. Everyone turned to see what she was pointing at and Shizuma smiled. She got up, high-fives her and then hugs her.

Shizuma whispered into her ear, " Congratulations, Yaya. I knew that it would be soon but doesn't it feel a lot better on you after you ask?"

Yaya smiled and returned the hug. Yaya sat down again and Tsubomi sat on her lap. Both of them were giggling now. Before anyone could ask anything, breakfast was done and served in the dinning room. The whole time, everyone stared at Yaya and Tsubomi, who were a little too happy now.

" What is everyone staring at?" Tsubomi said as she stopped eating and moved her hand under the table. But Nagisa saw it, before anyone else can. She looked at Nagisa, who lipped the same thing to Tsubomi as Shizuma did for Yaya. Tsubomi lipped 'thank you' back and then smiled.

" So what do you want to play to…" Shion asked everyone but got interrupted by Shizuma, Nagisa, Yaya, Tsubomi and Tamao.

" Truth or Dare!" They said together and jumped up. They ran into the kitchen and washed their plates. They sat down in the spots before and had the shot glasses ready. " We want to play in teams but they can't be with your lover." Tamao said as she grabbed Nagisa.

" Fine." When everyone else sat down and grabbed their glasses. They placed the empty bottle in the middle.


The teams were Nagisa and Tamao, verse Hikari and Yaya, verse Shizuma, Amane and Miyuki, and verse Chiyo and Tsubomi. They all had a couple of minutes to talk about their plans.

" O.k, since we are playing in pairs, we have to make things more interesting. We're adding double dare which is three shots and double truth." Nagisa said with a smile.

Everyone nodded and decided to whom to go first. Tamao and Nagisa were chosen. They turned the bottle and it landed on… Shizuma's group. They laughed and asked, " Truth, Dare or Double Dare?" They hoped for double and got their wish. The three girls took three shots and stood up.

" We want you to strip and since there is snow on the ground. Have a snowball fight with having Nagisa, Hikari and me watching, so no one gets jealous." They high-fived each other and they got stripped in the kitchen.

" This is so not cool from Nagisa." Shizuma said as she took off her top and bra.

" No shit! Our girls are screwed once they get into the bedroom." Amane said as she finished stripping. " It's so fucken cold out!"

" No crap, Amane! What did you think, it was nice and toasty out?" Miyuki said as she waited for Shizuma.


The others in the living room were blindfolded and the three others waited for them. The three victims walked outside and quickly started throwing snowballs. Nagisa yelled for them to come inside and they did. Nagisa helped Shizuma get changed and Hikari helped Amane. Tamao just blushed at Miyuki's beautiful body and Miyuki flushed from knowing that Tamao was watching.

' What am I doing! I like Chiyo but I also had feelings for Miyuki before. I think they are coming back and I might be falling in love with her again. Shit! This isn't good! I have to see how much Chiyo likes me and go from there.' Tamao said as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.

' Was Tamao just staring at me? She looks so cute, when she blushes like that. I never notice how beautiful she matured into and it's giving me a funny feeling inside." Miyuki hugged herself and then remembered something. ' Wait! Tamao likes Chiyo but I found out she liked me and I never got to return those feelings. I want a chance with her like Nagisa and Shizuma.' Miyuki finished changing and then sat down again. ' I will ask her tonight but where is she?' She looked around and saw that both, Chiyo and Tamao were missing.


Tamao took Chiyo up to their room for a second and sat her on the bed. Tamao paced the room. " Chiyo, how bad do you like me?" She asked as she looked at her.

Chiyo's smile turned into a frown. " I have to say I like you but I don't love you." She turned her head the other way. " I love someone else, Tamao. Sorry I had to get that out before anything happened."

Tamao walked over and smiled at her. " No that's fine because I'm beginning to have feelings for someone else like you. I did like you Chiyo but I wasn't sure where it was going. So… can we just be best friends like old times?" Tamao got up and held out her hand. " What do you say?"

Chiyo smiled and took her hand. She hugged her best friend and they ran downstairs to a waiting group. Miyuki smiled at Tamao as she turned and Shizuma caught her. " What was that all about, Miyuki? You crushing on her now?"

Miyuki smacked Shizuma and said, while blushing, " Maybe." Shizuma rubbed her head and laughed with Miyuki.


Amane spun the bottle and it landed on… well not expected, Hikari and Yaya. The girls were caught off guard and stopped giggling. " Well, what would you like?"

They whispered to each other and both said, " Double truth please." They both took three shots.

The girls made a plan. " We have separated truths for you. Yaya is: Why were you so happy this morning? Hikari is, without Amane knowing: Have you and Amane accidentally switched clothes after having sex?"

Yaya looked at a blushing Tsubomi and nodded at her. Yaya should everyone her hand and said, " I purposed to her this morning and we're engaged." Everyone yelled and gave their congratulations for them. Hikari yelled out of the blue, " Yes! We have before and sometimes on purpose." Amane dropped her mouth and lays back onto the ground.

' Why doesn't she just yell out that we have a video of us doing it, right before I purposed to her' Amane said to herself. Hikari came over and kissed her heart shot girlfriend, for saying I'm sorry.

Hikari spun the bottle when everyone settled down. It landed on… Tamao and Nagisa. They both smiled and said, " Bring on the hardest double dare!" They both took three shots and stood up.

" Take Nagisa's phone and take pictures of yourselves nude." Yaya said and looked a pissed off Shizuma and a jealous Miyuki.

Nagisa and Tamao laughed and Nagisa said, " Already done. Here go look for yourselves." Hikari and Yaya opened the gallery and the last nine pictures were they together. They both looked on how they did the pictures and blushed. They threw the camera at Nagisa and she looked at Shizuma, who looked like she wanted to punch Tamao.

" Keep your head on, Shizuma. They're not as good as ours though. No offence Tamao but Shizuma makes you look like a noob in these compared to ours." Nagisa said as she closed and the phone and put it away. Everyone laughed at a blushing Shizuma and Nagisa was proud that she said that. " What! It's true thought. Our pictures could out beat any of your pictures. I can bet on that. But first… lets open presents."


The girls ran toward the tree and passed out the gifts. They all got things that they need for the couple's lives. Nagisa then pulled out Shizuma's gift and gave it to her. Shizuma gave Nagisa her gift and they both opened them at the same time. Shizuma got a golden necklace with her name engraved in it with a diamond over the I. Nagisa got a bracelet that had her name engraved on the inside. They gave each a kiss and so didn't everyone else that got each gifts.

Miyuki sat in the living room, staring at the fire. Tamao came over with a rectangular box that was red and sat next to her. " Merry Christmas, Miyuki" Tamao blushed at her as she took the gift. Miyuki was surprised that anyone her gifts and opened it. It was a scrapbook from when they were all at school together with some photos they took over the last couple of days. Miyuki smiled at Tamao and hugged her.

" Thank you, Tamao. I love it and I promise to add more photos." Miyuki then kissed the top of Tamao's head. Tamao looked up into Miyuki's eyes and their heads slowly came closer and their lips brushed one another's.

Miyuki started the kiss and Tamao made it deeper. ' Her lips are so soft. I almost forgot what that felt like and she is a really good kisser.' Miyuki told herself as she and Tamao had their moment.

' I love how Miyuki's lips make me melt like ice cream on a hot day. I really like her and hope to go out with her.' Tamao told herself as she broke the kiss and blushed. She came close to Miyuki's ear and whispered, " Save some for later. I want to ask you something."

Tamao got up and then headed back into the dinning room.

After all the gifts were unwrapped, they decided to have a snowball fight outside for a while. They teamed up against one another and Chiyo joined Tamao and Miyuki's team, who end up winning anyway. When they all go inside, they changed into warmer clothes and had hot chocolate and cuddled. When everyone began to fall asleep, Shizuma and Nagisa got up and cleaned up. After they were done with that, they brought blanks down for everyone but saw that Miyuki and Tamao beginning to cuddle and fall asleep together.

" I'm getting tired, shall we?" Shizuma said as she sat down and lies against the back of the couch. Nagisa came over and lies in between her legs. " I love you." Shizuma said before falling asleep and Nagisa nodded in approval.

The whole group fell asleep together on their last night. Miyuki smiled at the sleeping Tamao and kissed her head, ' I'm feeling happy inside. I forget this feeling from so long ago that I can't remember. Tamao, can you help me remember?' She fell asleep knowing that she was finally happy again.


Author's notes:

So know we have a new couple and a broken couple. I was thinking having the next chapter be on Miyuki's former lover (Who wasn't Shizuma.) I will post the 11th late afternoon and maybe 12 before tomorrow. Leave reviews, comments or ideas so I can get an idea for later chapters or I might end it soon (which I hope not too so please send ideas!) Thanks for reading!
