Bender: Yay! Chappie 12! The last one! XD Halelujah!
Ikuto: Huh... That sounds like something I would say.

Bender: Oh trust me, if you had to write I chapter every day, you'd be saying it too.

Ikuto: -shrugs- I guess.

Bender: Now on with the chappie!!!

Amu's text messages- Bold + Italic

Ikuto's text messages- Italic

Amu is 18, and out of high school, and Ikuto is 23.

On the twelfth day of Christmas

My true love gave to me:

Amu's POV

"So Amu, what'd you get for Christmas?" Utau asked, taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

"My parents got me a laptop, an iPod, and a giftcard to Hot Topic. The other people in my family just sent everyone money." I shrugged, taking a gulp of my own hot cocoa. "What'd Kukai get you?"

She smiled, her whole face lighting up, and held out her wrist. On it was a gold cuff. "Isn't it pretty?"

"Very..." I murmered, now lost in thought.

Utau snapped her fingers in front of my face, popping my thought bubble. "So what'd Ikuto send you?"

I looked away, not wanting to answer.

Ikuto still hasn't come back from finding his dad. That was...about five years ago, but he still either called, texted, or e-mailed me every day, and sent me things for my birthday and Christmas.

"Oh...well don't worry. I'm sure he's just going to suprise you later."

I put on a half smile. "I guess."

May I hold you,

As you fall asleep?

When the world is closing in,

And you can't breath.

Utau stared at my phone before she started laughing. "Speak of the devil."

I smiled, and flipped my phone open to see the text.

Hey babe. Merry Christmas. Did you get the flowers yet?

Utau leaned over me, trying to see the message. As soon as she did, she smiled. "Told you so."

I smiled, still confused, and texted him back.

What flowers?

Whoops. So that means you haven't gotten them yet?

Nope.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I jumped up, and ran over to the door, throwing it open the second my feet touched the doormat.

"Amu?" The deliveryman had a hood pulled over his head, and over his eyes.

"Yep." I smiled.

He handed me a bouqet of roses, and kissed my forehead.

"W-what do you think you're d-doing?!" I stuttered.

The deliveryman smirked, and pulled his hood down, revealing the blue eyes and hair that I haven't seen in years. "Missed me?"

I threw my arms around his neck, pulling myself to his chest.

He laughed, and wrapped his arm around my waist. "I'll take that as a yes."

I nodded, and rested my head in the crook of his neck.

Utau picked the bouqet of the ground, and read the tag out loud. "12 roses, a rose for every reason I love you."

I blushed, and hugged him tighter. "I love you too..." I murmered.

Bender: M'kay! Ending it there! Now, and please don't throw snowballs at me for this :'(, I won't be able to post Juliet and Ikuto, but it will be up the day after.

Ikuto: Why?!

Bender: -sigh- My cousins' dad left on Christmas Eve, leaving a lot of kids crying. They were even saying that they would tell Santa to take their presents back, because they wanted their present to be their dad staying with them on Christmas. (Their parents got divorced, and this is their first year without him.) My uncle, who is drunk and upset, is moving in, and I haven't even seen my dad's side of the family yet.

Ikuto, and Amu: -high pitched- Drama!
