A/N: We're 10 days in already? What?! I'm so sad how quickly this is going. Got another short one for you today sadly. I've been super busy this month, and I have so much more to come, and I was so tired today that I just procrastinated writing this. But it's here! Hope you guys enjoy! Thanks again for all your kind reviews! They make my day.

Chapter 10: Must be Santa

"Why do we have to do a secret Santa?" Eve whined, walking into the room where all the Librarians were waiting for her. "I'm getting all of you gifts anyway"

"Obviously" Cassandra said. "But it's fun, and like every workplace ever does one. It's a tradition!"

"Fine" Eve groaned. "But let's just do this quickly. I've got things to do"

"Don't be such a Scrooge, Eve!" Flynn complained.

"You better watch yourself Librarian" she retorted. "Remember, I know all your favorite things, and your least favorite things, and if I pick your name, I'm in control of what you get."

"Would you two stop flirting already so we can do this?!" Ezekiel complained.

Jake shot him a dirty look and Cassandra hit him on the arm. The thief simply laughed, always finding himself hysterical.

"Watch it Jones" Eve snapped. "You're still on my watch list since your little escapade last night."

Ezekiel looked at the floor quieting down immediately.

"Let's just pick names already shall we?" Jake asked, trying to break the tension, and grabbing the filled hat from behind him.

Cassandra and Flynn eagerly began to reach their hands towards the names.

"Hold it!" Eve called, stopping them. "Shouldn't we establish some rules first?"

"Right" Jake agreed. "Types of gifts allowed, price limit…"

"Exactly"

"Well when I actually worked at an oil rig, we'd have a thirty dollar limit. That sound fair to everyone?"

"Fine with me"

Everyone else agreed then turned their heads towards Eve. It took her a moment to realize they were waiting for her approval. She nodded her head, and suddenly, it was like a battle, as everyone jumped to throw their hands into the hat.

Once everyone had finished, Eve sighed and reached her hand in, expecting to grab the last remaining slip. To her surprise, two remained.

"Cassandra" she asked. "Why is there still paper in here?"

"Oh" Cassandra admitted. "I may have thrown ' name in there too"

As if he had been waiting for a cue, Jenkins entered the room and grabbed the last slip of paper. He glanced at it briefly and nodded.

"Thank you Miss Cillian" he said, before promptly exiting the room.

Eve looked at her paper. Jacob. Well, at least Stone would be easy to buy for. That way, she could get this over with and focus on what to get Flynn.

While Eve was at peace with her assignment, Flynn struggled to decide what he would do: Ezekiel. Of course: the only person that he felt he barely knew. What did you even get a thief anyway: a lock picking kit?

The young Librarian wasn't doing much better himself: Colonel Baird. Buying for Baird would be like buying for his boss, or a mother. Ideas began to flood his mind, and he pondered which would be the funniest.

Cassandra walked over to Jake, who was staring down at his paper, a warm smile crossing his lips.

"I got Jenkins" she giggled. "I can't wait to get him something. He deserves it for all he does for us"

"Yeah" Jake nodded.

"Who'd you get" She leaned over his shoulder, and he quickly shoved the paper in his pocket, making sure that she couldn't see.

"Oh uh…Flynn" he mumbled.

"Cool! We can help each other pick out gifts. Anyway, I've got some laylines to map. I'll see you later?"

"Yeah, see ya'"

Cassandra turned and left the room. Once he was sure she was gone, Jake reached into his pocket and took out the slip of paper, looking at the name scrawled across it once more.

Cassandra

A/N: Well that's that! I'd like to give a big shout out and thank you to my best friend Amy, who helped me with the Secret Santa arrangements. I had a lot of ideas for pairings, but couldn't find the perfect way to fit them together until she gave me this solution! This is one of the more chronological stories in the series, as you'll hear about it again later on. Anyway, I'm super excited for tomorrow, "Jingle Bell Rock" Get ready for some crack fic! Merry Christmas LITs! Until tomorrow, I've gotta study for Music Theory. Ciao!
