A/N: I don't own Degrassi or Shania Twain's "Forever and For Always".


"So, what's your idea now, Romeo?" Eli asked, tapping his fingers on random keys of his piano. The rough notes echoing through the room, causing an idea to form in Adam's head.

"That's it!" He shouted, nearly making Eli fall off the spinning chair.

"What's it?"

"A song! We can do a serenade for the girls! But it has to be before midnight, so that Santa can come!"

"Again with Santa? Ugh, it sounds good, but how would we do that?" He stood up and glanced at his piano once more. "Wait, I know how! You were in chorus camp two years, right? And I taught myself how to play the piano, so…"

"We can do it!" He pumped his fist in the air and yelled, "Booyah!" Getting an eye roll from Eli.

Later that Night—

The girls were in Alli's room that night, laying on the bed and staring at the blank ceiling. They were having second thoughts about kicking the guys out once the boredom started to sink in… but it wasn't just that, they missed them a lot, especially Alli, who hadn't meant to yell at Adam at all. Sure, what they did was dangerous, but they were just trying to help. What is about men and their pride anyways? They try to impress, but just get kicked out in the end. Alli seriously didn't see what was so worth that.

"Well this sucks." Alli stated, supporting herself on her elbows and glancing at Clare, who looked a bit too focused on the ceiling. "Should we call them?"

"Yes!" She shouted, while getting her phone out of her pocket. She handed it to Alli and covered her eyes with her arm afterwards.

Alli chuckled and stood up, marking the numbers onto the small cell.

Before she pressed the call button, though, she faintly heard a noise outside her window.

"In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain't no way-
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way-
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...

'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face-always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart-I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me…"

"Oh my-"

"Goodness…" Clare finished, glancing from behind her friend as she opened her window.

Outside was Adam and Eli, Adam with a mic and Eli with a portable piano. Both looked cold and wet, since light raindrops were still falling from earlier.

"I can't believe this…" Alli whispered, a smile forming on Clare's face. "That's so sweet."

"Are you hearing the lyrics?"

Alli nodded, laughing gently.

"In your eyes,
I can still see the look of the one who really loves me.
The one who wouldn't put anything else in the world above me,
I can still see love for me in your eyes.

And there ain't no way-
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way-
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day...

'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face—always."

The girls cheered as Eli finished his smooth melody on the keyboard, Adam's voice slowly trailing off.

"Wooh!"

Alli and Clare quickly raced downstairs, brushing passed a confused Sav, and opened the back door leading to them.

"Guys, that was amazing!" Alli jumped into Adam's arms, taking in the sweetness of being back in his embrace. "I'm so sorry for yelling at you like that. I shouldn't have."

"You had every right to. I promise, next time, I'm gonna call a professional, right Eli?"

"Yep, even though it was hilarious how you guys thought Adam was Santa."

"Santa!" Alli suddenly stepped back, having remembered what night it was. "He's coming! Quickly, we have to get to bed!"

"Now?"

"Bed?" Eli added.

"Together?" Clare added also, with much emphasis.

"Come on!" The small but fierce girl ordered, grabbing Adam's arm and dragging him towards the house. Eli and Clare followed suit, scared of what would happen if they don't.

They went upstairs back to Alli's room and shut the door. The girls got on the bed while the boys sat on the floor, much to Alli's concerns of Santa noticing they're not asleep.

Minutes turned to a whole hour as no sign of Santa was shown.
Things were really quiet, too quiet if you asked them.

"So… this is boring." Adam said.

"Very boring." Eli added.

"Where the hell's Santa Clause!" Alli shouted, scaring the boys to scotch back a bit.

"Don't worry, he'll be here soon. Maybe he caught up somewhere?" Clare reasoned, trying to calm her down.

"Yeah, that's it…" Eli whispered, sarcastically, earning a foot nudge from Clare.

"Why don't Eli and I go get you some cookies and milk?"

Suddenly noticing what she just said, Clare covered her mouth as Alli put her head on her knees and started crying.

"Oops. Uhm…Adam, can you try... something while we get her the cookies?"

Adam nodded and got up from the floor, taking Clare's spot on the bed as her and Eli left.

"Hey, don't cry. Do we have to have a repeat of my awesome comforting skills?" Adam asked, trying to get atleast one laugh out of her.

Alli raised her head, her brown eyes meeting Adam's icy blues.

"You know you're amazing right?" She asked, wiping her eyes.

"And you know I love you right?"

She smiled and leaned in, putting one hand on his cheek and meeting her lips with his. It was short and sweet, but definitely said everything that needed to be said.

"I love you too."

All of a sudden, a loud bang was heard from the roof….could it be?
