12 Days of Christmas
A/N: Here's day 11. I don't own the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's character or the Jonas Brothers song 'Joyful Kings'. But I do own the plotline. Chapter 12 will be posted up soon. Thanks!

Day 11:
Leo and Luna woke up excited because today there is no school until the end of New Years Day. Luna went to the kitchen to make breakfast for herself and her brother, while her brother was taking a shower. When he was done, he changed into his usual clothing and joined Luna for breakfast. When they were finished eating, Luna went to take a shower and her brother went to watch TV. When she came out she changed into a baby blue dress that has a black bow tied on the back. She put on a white sweater and her black flat shoes. She did her usual pigtails and went to see her brother. She saw him watching TV and saw that he was wearing his usual clothing.
"Leo, aren't you going to dress up?" she asked.
"Why? The party isn't until tonight. Why should I dress up into something nice?"
"Because we're the one who's hosting this party and we have to look good for the party"
"Ugh! Fine! I'll go and change." He went to his room and changed into a navy blue tuxedo with a white shirt and a red tie. "Satisfied?"
"Yup!" Leo rolled his eyes.
At Akiza's house, Akiza woke up with a big smile on her face. Tonight she's going to confess her love to Yusei and sing him a song. Her parents walked in her room and saw her smiling.
"Good morning Akiza" her parents said.
"Good morning mom and dad"
"Tell us why are you so happy" asked her mom.
"Because I'm going to a party with my friends and celebrate Christmas with them. I hope you don't mind?"
"Not at all. So is there another reason why you're happy?"
Akiza didn't want her parents to know that she was going to confess her love to Yusei. Her parents had a feeling that Akiza is falling in love with him. They know that she's been hang out with him all last week. Her father would be happy if Yusei and Akiza would become a couple. After all, he saved her more than once and he's forever in debt with him.
"Yeah, I'm going to do something that I've never done before"
"Oh, okay. Would you join us to eat breakfast?"
"Sure. But first let me get ready." Akiza got out of bed and took a shower. Once she was done, she changed into her regular clothing when she realized that she needed a change of style. She took out the red dress that Misty had bought her a few days back and she put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and was fascinated by the way she looked. She took out a white sweater to cover her shoulders and arms and then put on her red flat shoes and took off her necklace. She looked at herself one last time and was satisfied. When she walked out of her room, her parents loved the way she looked.
"Wow! Look at my little girl!" said her father.
"You look amazing sweetie!" her mother said.
"Thanks! Now let's go eat breakfast as a family"
At Yusei's house, Jack woke up happy because he is going to spend his day with Carly and then go to the party with her. Crow is also happy because today and tomorrow he is off from work for the holidays and that he's going to spend his holidays with his friends. Yusei, on the other hand, is happier than Jack and Crow. Yusei is going to confess his love to Akiza. These last few days, he and Akiza were flirting so much. They even got to kiss. He went to look at the present that he got for Akiza at the mall. He looked at the necklace as it shined and he also looked at the ring that he got for her. Inside the ring there is an engraving that said 'My One & Only True Love'. He had a feeling that Akiza felt the same way as he did. As he got out of bed and head his way to the bathroom, he heard Crow yelling at Jack to get out of the bathroom.
"Come on Jack! You're not the only one who lives here you know. There are other people that gotta use the bathroom too!"
"Don't rush me you idiot! The more you try to get me out the more I stay inside."
"Hey! Who are you calling an idiot? Speak for yourself!"
Jack opened the door and Crow saw this as an opportunity. He pulled Jack out of the bathroom and locked Jack out.
"Hey! I was still using the bathroom you know!"
"Too bad." Crow opened the water and then he was taking a shower. Jack knocked the door very loudly.
"Hey! I still gotta use the bathroom. Crow let me in!"
"Come one Jack. Relax. Why are you in a rush?" asked Yusei.
"I have a date with Carly and I gotta meet her soon. Crow let me in!" yelled Jack.
"No. You gotta learn how to wait" said Crow.
Yusei decided to eat breakfast since he couldn't use the bathroom. It was going to be a long day.
Noon…
Carly was waiting for Jack to come and pick her up for their date. Jack came two minutes late and got off from his Duel Runner. He apologized for arriving late.
"That's okay. As long as you're here, I'm happy."
"Good. I have a surprise for you"
"Really?"
"Yeah. I'm positive that you're going to love it!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Jack handed Carly an extra helmet and rode behind Jack. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he drove off. They arrived to their destination: a garden. Carly got out of the Duel Runner and looked around the area. She loved it so much that she jumped like a five year old.
"Thank you Jack. I love it!" she jumped towards Jack and he caught her. He spun her around and Carly giggled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him in the mouth.
"I'm glad that you liked it"
6 pm
Akiza arrived to the twins' apartment to make sure that their delivery arrived on time. Luna noticed that Akiza looked different. She wasn't wearing her usual clothing but the dress she had on made her look so pretty. She also noticed that she kept looking out the window. Sure she's waiting for the delivery to arrive but what else is she waiting for. The doorbell rang and Luna went to answer it. It was the delivery guy with their order.
"Akiza, the delivery's here"
"I'm coming" She walked up to the door and asked the delivery guy to take it to the kitchen while she took out her money to pay. When the delivery guy placed the food in the kitchen he saw Akiza and asked:
"Is this your child?"
Akiza looked at him like he was crazy. "Do I look like the mother of this child? I'm only 18 years old and she's 11 years old."
"I'm sorry Miss. I thought that she was your daughter since you look so…mature"
"Here's your money. Now get out!" She pushed the delivery guy out and slammed the door. The doorbell rang again and Akiza opened the door and started to yell. "I thought I told you to get out!"
"Hey, Akiza. Are you okay?" Akiza opened her eyes and saw Yusei standing there.
"Yusei, I'm so sorry. I thought you were that delivery guy" blush Akiza.
"It's okay. What happened?"
"The delivery guy made a bad assumption thinking that Luna's my daughter."
Well she does have the body, thought Yusei. "Just ignore him. Did the food come?"
"Yeah, but now we're waiting for the cake to come."
Yusei noticed the way Akiza was dressed. She is wearing a red dress with a medium size black bow in the middle of the dress. The way she looked was amazing. He was mesmerized by her look. He loves the way she was looking. Akiza noticed that Yusei was staring at her and she waved her hand in front of his face. He was back into reality and saw her hand. He blushed.
"I'm sorry. I guessed I spaced out"
"You had me worry. So what are you thinking?"
"You're beautiful tonight!" he blurted out.
"Thank you Yusei. You're not that bad yourself"
The doorbell rang again and this time Yusei went to answer the door. Another delivery guy had a cake and a box of cookies. "Here's your delivery sir." Yusei took the box of cookies. He told the delivery guy to place the cake in the kitchen while he followed him in and placed the cookies in the table. Akiza was waiting for the delivery guy so she can pay him when Leo came out of his room.
"So did the food come? Is the cake here?" he asked excitingly.
"Yeah, it's in the kitchen"
The delivery guy came out along with Yusei. The delivery guy saw Akiza and Leo and turned around and saw Yusei right behind him. It was silence when Luna appeared.
"What a nice family you have sir"
"Thank you. But I'm too young to have a family. I'm 19 years old, she's 18 years old" he pointed at Akiza, "and those two are 11 years old"
"I'm so sorry. I gotta go."
"Yeah, I think you should leave." He handed the delivery guy the money before Akiza could get mad.
Two hours later…
The party just got started and the first to arrive is Dexter, Bob, Patty and Sly. Akiza and Luna gave them plates so they can pick out their food. The doorbell rang and Leo answered it. Trudge and Mina were standing there. Leo greeted them and told them to go to the kitchen. Just as Leo is about to close the door, Jack and Carly hold the door open.
"Hey aren't you going to let us in" said Carly.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you guys"
"That's okay Leo"
Leo told Jack and Carly to go to the kitchen. When they arrived to the kitchen, Carly saw Mina with Trudge. Mina also saw Jack and Carly holding hands. I guess he's happier with her than he is with me, Mina though. Mina noticed that Carly looked different. She wasn't wearing her glasses and they way she was dressed was also different too. Trudge was happy picking out food while Carly approached both of them and greeted them.
"Hi Trudge, hi Mina. How have you guys been?"
Trudge looked at Carly and he almost didn't recognize her. "Carly? Is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me Carly. I know it's hard to believe that I changed."
"Yeah, you look great. So who did you come along?" asked Mina.
"I came with my boyfriend Jack" she replied happily.
"So you and Jack are going steady?"
"Yup! I can't believe that he made me his girlfriend. I love him so much that I'm grateful to have him by my side"
"Congrats Carly" said Trudge.
Carly waved them goodbye. Mina came to the party happy, but now she's sad. She now knows that Jack loves Carly and that she'll never have a chance with him. She excused herself and went outside the apartment. Tears came out and she began to cry. Trudge wasn't dumb to leave Mina alone, so he joined her outside and talked to her.
"Mina, are you okay?"
"Yeah…well actually no I'm not. I need someone to talk to"
"I'm listening"
"I…I…don't know what to say…I love Jack with all my heart, but now that I see that he's happy with Carly…it breaks my heart to know that he loves her." Mina began to cry again. Trudge hugged Mina and he held her tightly. It also breaks his heart knowing that Mina is suffering.
"Mina, please stop crying. It breaks my heart that you're crying for the wrong person. There are many other people that you can make them happy…Mina what I'm trying to say is that you should love someone else that's going to love you back."
"I don't know if I want to."
"You should. You should give love a try one more time with someone else other than Jack."
"Yeah, like who?"
"Like…umm…like…me" he said quietly.
Mina looked up at Trudge and saw him looking away from her. Mina didn't know that he loves her. Sure they're great friends and all and she had a feeling that he loves her. But she didn't expect him to confess it to her. Maybe I should give love a try.
"Thank you Trudge"
"For what?"
"For making me feel better" He looked at her and she smiled. She hugged him back and just as he let go. Mina held his hand and gave it a short squeeze. She approached him and gave him a short kiss on the cheek. She went back inside and he was happy to make her happy again.
More guests arrived. Crow, Kalin, and Misty came together to the party. Jack was happy that Kalin is here to celebrate with them. Martha and the kids from the orphanage also came and they were happy that they got to celebrate their first Christmas. Once everyone was done eating, some of the people began to talk while the others began to dance. Everyone was enjoying the celebration.
Almost midnight…
Leo and Luna got everyone into a big circle. Leo made sure that everyone was wide awake. Luna went to the closet and took out a glass figure of baby Jesus. When she came back into the living room, everyone was quiet. Luna gave the glass figurine to Akiza and she took the baby in her arms. She placed the baby in the crib that was underneath the Christmas tree. Once she placed it there, Luna began to sing:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room!
And heaven and nature sing
Leo: (Heaven and nature sing)
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Leo:
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we travel so far
Field and mountain, moor and mountain,
Luna:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her king!
Leo: (Yeah!)
Let every heart prepare him room!
And heaven and nature sing
Leo: (Heaven and nature sing)
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven, heaven and nature sing
Luna:
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Leo: (Whoa!)
"Come on everyone sing with us" said the twins. Everyone sang along with the twins. As they sing, the held each other's hand:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare him room!
And heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven, heaven and nature, heaven and nature sing
(Oh! Oh! Oh!)
Everyone clapped their hands and the clock struck. It was midnight.
A/N: Chapter 12 is the continuation of Chapter 11. I don't think I'll be able to post up chapter 12 tonight since right now I'm going to the Laundromat since it's going to be busy tomorrow and it's going to be closed on Christmas Day. As always, kindly review!
