"Let's go Malachi" Daniel pulled Malachi out of the ballroom. Malachi complied with a questioning expression on her face.

"Where to?" she asked, trying to follow after Daniel who was rushing through the school halls.

"My home. Of course sweetheart. It is Christmas after all... And lets just say that we should spend more time together don't you think?" he smiled at her.

Daniel started his bike. And Malachi used his shoulders for support to swing her leg over. As the musicians started to play the song "All I Want For Christmas" Daniel's bike raced though the school's huge carpark and though the gates. Everywhere was lighted up with decoration lights and some drivers couldn't help but stare at both Daniel and Malachi for their dressing, Daniel who was driving in a tuxedo and Malachi whose dress and shawl in the air as they sped through. It wasn't long until they reach one of the Bishop's "outside" house. Which was grandly decorated and they was a butler waiting outside. As Daniel stopped his bike and carried Malachi from his bike he dropped the keys to the butler's hand and whispered some instructions.

Malachi curious questioned Daniel about the butler as the last time she had been to Daniel's place, no one was around. Daniel shrugged it off with a smile and told her it was for a special occasion. And Christmas was no doubt an occasion special enough. Daniel took Malachi's hands gently and led her up to his room. Daniel's room was as huge as a grand 5 room apartment, and Daniel led Malachi to his sofa that was as huge as a king sized bed before turning on his 100 inch LCD television that took up his wall. Marcel would have been definitely impressed if she was at Daniel's house. Daniel settled for classical music. The orchestra came in view playing a few pieces of Chopin's at the beginning. Malachi being a fan of Chopin listened intently to the music and Daniel shifted nearer towards her. It wasn't long before Malachi's attention turned away from the television. Daniel brought his lips crashing down onto Malachi's, desperate firm lips, it was different from the other kisses they shared but Malachi complied, trying to return the kiss while he roamed her back. Soon enough there was a soft knocked coming from the door they sent both Daniel and Malachi scampering away from each other to the ends of the king sized sofa. Mister Stevenson, Daniel's butler was at the door requesting for an entry.

"Y-... You can come... In now Mister Steve..." Daniel said after taking a few deep breaths.

Mister Stevenson came in with a small smile, greeted both Daniel and Malachi before settling the red wine and wine glasses that he had brought in on the table. Before he left, Daniel stood up and whispered some things into Mister Stevenson, Mister Stevenson nodded and replied with an equally low voice. Lastly Daniel told his butler to ensure that no one was to come on without his permission. Having to understand his young master's instructions, Mister Stevenson greeted a goodnight to both Daniel and Malachi before closing the le door shut.

An awkward silence ensued after Mister Stevenson left and the background was now playing Beethoven's Op.49 No.1, Daniel keen to break the tension poured the 2002 Grands Echezeaux Romanee Conti Red Wine into the wine glasses, swirling both glasses in his hands before passing it to Malachi. Nervously, she thanked Daniel before taking a sip and held it in her mouth to taste the full flavor before swallowing it. Daniel's eyes on her.

Daniel made a grab for Malachi's glass and settled it down on the table. Malachi stunned and confused was pulled up and lead by Daniel towards his grand piano. Once he had settled her onto the seat, he took her fingers and placed them gently onto the keyboard. One knee in the seat he stood behind her and silenced her protests by placing his hands over hers. Swiftly guiding her fingers, it wasn't long before the room was filled by the music that was being produced by the both of them.

Malachi gently leaned her head onto Daniel's right outstretched arm. Eyes closed. Trying hard to enjoy herself instead of thinking about last year's Christmas Eve.

"Noah Puckerman! How dare you strip half naked in front of my sister! Have you no modesty at all?" Marcel shouted while trying to catch Puck who was running around with his bare chest, laughing like a mad person. Mike sat on the patch of grass laughing hard at the comical sight. An angry Marcel chasing a half naked Puck, and Malachi chasing Marcel to calm her down. In the end Mike outstretched his arm when Malachi was at arms reach and pulled her down to the soft grass, settling her down on his lap. It wasn't an unusual thing, Mike have always liked being close and his affectionate brotherly personality have left him with a fan club.

"Don't mind them. We'll go off and have a nice Christmas dinner and night, leaving them here, alright?"

"I heard that!" both Marcel and Puck shout back.

"You better watch out or you'll be next wise guy." Marcel pointed at Mike. Mike burst out laughing and when he saw Marcel lunged at him, he instinctively pushed Malachi out of his lap and was pinned down by an angry Marcel. No sooner did Puck join in and jump on top of Marcel. Mike groaning at the weight. Malachi a bit upset about Marcel interrupting her moment with Mike. Stood up and hopped on the human tower that the trio had made.

"What have I done to offend you?" Puck groaned when Malachi sat on him.

"You just ruined one of my best times." She mumbled.

"Alright! that's enough!" Finn came towards the pile with a smiling Quinn and he lifted Malachi off Puck and Quinn went over to hug Malachi. Finn proceeded to help the rest up and Quinn took Marcel into a hug too.

"What about me?" Puck pouted.

"Quinn ain't your teddy." Finn smirked. And he tackled Puck.

Quinn wished both twins Merry Christmas and began buzzing like a bee catching up with them. Even though it has only been one week since they last met.

Christmas Dinner took place in an Italian restaurant that Matt and Santana recommended. The restaurant crowded, was filled with the laughter and Christmas carols. Food piled up was finished as soon as it arrives. And no sooner did things get a little out of hand when they were over at the Fabray's residence. Both parents were away which left only Quinn to the whole house.

While everyone was fighting over the Fabray's residence game controls and entertainment devices. Mike was sitting outside the garden, drinking a low percentage alcoholic drink. Malachi slipped out. And spent the whole night talking to Mike,

"Do you like... Love someone?" Mike asked staring off into the sky.

"W-... Why do you ask?"

"Nothing. I was curious. That's all." he turned smiling at Malachi.

"I d-..."

"Look Malachi! There's the fireworks! Its finally Christmas day!" he cut her off. And pushed a huge box into her arms. "Merry Christmas!"

Opening it the next day, in sat a beautiful saxophone.

"Malachi? Are you alright?" Somewhere along the lines. Malachi heard Mike. But it wasn't possible. He would never ever know and be here. Daniel couldn't help but gave a sad smile.

When Malachi woke up on Daniel's it was only 1.30 a.m. she looked around and found herself in a huge polo shirt instead of the dress she was wearing. And she saw Daniel still awake on the sofa, presumably drinking. She brought herself and sat herself next tohim to apologize for dozing off. But instead a hand came flying towards her mouth. Pushing her downwards.
