( Christmas Eve)

Halie carefully sat on the top branch of the large pine tree in the middle of the Rec. Room, balancing a golden star in her arms. " Put it right on the top!" Alexis called to her, 20 feet below her, safely on the ground.

Halie snorted, reached up, and wired the star onto the very top of the undecorated Christmas tree. " Good?" she called down to Alexis.

" Yepperz!" she laughed, trotting away to go get the large boxes of decorations and tinsel. Halie nodded, and slowly hopped back down to the bottom. About half way down, Halie had just leaped onto a branch, when a hook lodged itself not even three inches from her face.

" Alexis, I'm not down yet," Halie called.

" Oops!" Alexis called from below. A giant hand then appeared in front of the branch Halie was perched on, and she gracefully leaped onto it.

" Thanks Sideswipe!" Halie chirped, climbing up onto Sideswipe's silver shoulder. Halie looked down at her friend, who was sneering at her.

" Lil' Traitor!" Alexis called up to her.

" Am not!" Halie called back, stringing the ornaments on the large Christmas tree. Sideswipe instantly started hanging the tinsel on the tree, and the trio had a good time decorating Mr. Christmas Tree.

(Christmas Day)

The music burst loudly through the speaker as Halie and Alexis walked into the energy filled Rec. Room. Both girls stared in awe at the Christmas Party the Autobots had prepared. Halie was dressed in red silk shorts with white fur tufts on the end, a red shirt with white fur lining the neck and the bottom, a santa hat, and black leather boots. Her long brown hair flowing freely over her shoulders and back.

Alexis was dressed in a pale blue knee length dress that glimmered like a sapphire, and she wore golden flats. Her black hair was tied up in a tight bun, with some locks flowing loosely beneath it.

" How is it, no matter what, you always out dress me?" Halie hissed teasing under her breath.

" Because your a tom boy," Alexis stated factually. Halie smiled and let out a low growl, and the two girls walked to the Christmas tree they had decorated yesterday.

" Why, would you look at her tonight," Hot Rod whistled, kneeling down besides Alexis, " my little golden angel!"

" Roddy," Alexis gushed, blushing.

" Ugh, someone stab forks in my eyes!" Halie teased, making gagging noises and covering her eyes. Alexis smacked her friend, then tugged Hot Rod's gift out form under the Christmas tree.

Hot Rod crooned and gently took the rather large present in his hands. he gently unwrapped the glass box, which in it held the sword Hot Rod had traded on Cybertron for a Null Ray for his girlfriend, Trapjaw.

" A-Alexis..."

Halie grinned and left the two lovebirds alone, and went to find her own mech. She found him standing by the giant energon bowl minutes later.

" Optimus!" she yelled, trotting up to him.

" Yes?"

" I got you something!"

" What is it?"

" Follow!" Halie marched towards the Christmas tree, Optimus Prime following curiously behind her.

Halie then disappeared under the Christmas tree, and moments later, heavily shoved a very large box-by human standards- towards Optimus. Optimus gently unwrapped the fragile paper, and blinked in surprise at the thing inside.

" How did you make this?" he asked, marveling the wonderfully made ax.

" Ironhide and Ratchet helped. I made the design myself!" Halie boasted proudly. Optimus traced the volcano pattern, smiling at how the lava running down the side of the volcano pulsed a light blue.

" It's wonderful," Optimus spoke finally. Halie grinned.

" I knew you'd like it!" she announced, climbing up his arm, then snuggling up by his neck. Hot Rod then walked by with Alexis also on his shoulder.

" Hey, Alex!" Halie called to her best friend.

" Ya, Hailstorm?"

" Best."

"Christmas."

" Ever!"
