What We Make of It

Seasonal Special – Ho Ho Ho?

Opening the refrigerator and pulling out the only non-alcoholic beverage he could find, egg nog, Shinji shut the door with a smile. It was Christmas Eve and he had already finished all his shopping days before. They sat nicely wrapped in one of his unused dresser drawers waiting for the NERV party in the morning. The others well they all ran out of the apartment that morning in a mad dash for the shopping arcade. Pouring himself a nice tasty glass of fatty milk substance, Shinji smiled as Misato clad in Santa hat nearly fainted when she realized she had no more time to shop. "Hope they're doing good, shops should be closing soon."

Taking his cup into the living room, lights dimmed but the room was illuminated with strings of lights that Misato and Sasami strew about everywhere. "Wonder if any of those old American movies are on now?" Shinji asked himself as he sat down for a relaxing night to himself. Kos-Mos and Asuka had been mystified about the concept of Christmas having never experienced one so Sasami took it upon herself to teach them. When Shinji asked her why she was so excited about the Earth custom Sasami just smiled and said that the season had special memories for her.

Flipping through the stations and finding exactly what he was looking for 'It's a Wonderful Life' with the actual English voice actors and subtitled Shinji hummed contently and made himself comfortable. "Can't stand Japanese dubbed American movies, the voices never match how my mind perceives them." His mind wandered as the show began to the other people he knew and the unique way they prepared for the next days party.

A lot of his school friends had requested he join them for a party, Kensuke and Touji said they were setting it up and he had to go. His study buddies from the Hikawa Shrine invited him to their private party and said something about having five presents for him. And Hotaru called him the other day and asked he had a moment to come over to get his gift from her. He had gifts for all of them and more so he expected the next day to be something of and endurance race.

"I just wish it'd snow like it does in the movies," Shinji said softly as he looked outside at the nightscape of the city wrapped in its perpetual summer. Sipping his egg nog again, enjoying the feeling of the thick liquid sliding down his throat he rubbed his eyes as he felt a little twinge of fatigue. Looking at his watch, "Almost eleven already? Guess they all went out to eat together before coming home." He didn't mind, even though he cooked a large meal for them and had it on the table, he wouldn't be upset. The reality was that the Tokyo-3 branch of Victoria's Secret was being hounded by the largest mass of females it ever did and that in turn made the lines longer and kept the store open.

All of Shinji's would be suitorettes had big plans for the mistletoe and having their…present…unwrapped by Shinji's slow, fumbling in some girls minds, hands only to find the inner wrapper to be even sexier. Seeing the competition doing the same just meant they had to put for more effort in finding the perfect accents to their forms.

Yawning as Clarence dived into the raging river to save a man down on his luck and contemplating suicide, Shinji looked at his bedroom. "Maybe I should turn in early," he asked Ryo-oki who had taken her favorite sleeping spot in the nook between Shinji's legs. At first she did it to irritate the girls that rivaled her best friend, now she found it a very warm and comfortable spot.

Mya-ing in her ever to cute manner, Ryo-Oki just scratched her big ears and laid back down to sleep. Rubbing the back of the cabbit's head and eliciting a series of purrs Shinji thought he heard something at the door. "Hello?" he called out to be answered by silence. "Is anybody there?" Scooping the cabbit in his arms and laying her on his shoulders, she'd have reluctantly did it anyway not wanting to lose the source of heat, Shinji walked to the door. Pulling it open and looking into the hallway he saw nothing. Peeking his head out, "Hello is anybody there?"

Nobody answered his calls as nobody was there just the chirping cicadas that again reminded him of the summer heat. "Guess it was my imagination," he giggled as Ryo-oki nodded. But he head it again, a small scratching sound this time but it was coming from his room! "Burglars?" a small fear lanced him at the thought of his home being invaded by a murderous thief. Gulping loudly, and not realizing that the cute thing on his shoulder could destroy angels if provoked, he made his way towards the offending sounds.

It grew louder, wood grinding against wood, Shinji's eyes widened as he recognized the sound of his drawers being opened. So it is a thief and they're stealing the presents I bought! A sense of pride and determination sank in, he'd defend that which he wished to give to others. Whispering softly, "I'm going to scare them off ok Ryo-Oki, you be careful." Setting the cabbit on the floor, who in turn got ready to dispense hot liquid death to anybody that attempted to hurt her carrot provider, Shinji carefully set his arm against the door.

The sound stopped as if in retaliation to Shinji's movements, he stopped moving even stopped breathing. Silence passed for a few seconds then the sound of packages moving started again. Throwing the door open, Shinji rushed into the room and charged the would be thief. Diving at the person who yelped in a very feminine voice, Shinji tackled them to the ground, his head landing on some very soft yet firm body parts. "EEK PERVERT!"

His head resting on a very soft material, it felt like cotton but softer, Shinji looked up from the valley that was the girl's chest, and a very well endowed chest he had to admit, into the fear filled eyes of Aoi. "Aoi-san what are you doing here? Why are you stealing my Christmas presents?" The girl was so rich why would she have to steal? And she was so nice and polite that Shinji was having a hard time accepting what he was seeing.

"Um…could you please um…not touch there please?" the Aoi looking woman asked as Shinji's breath was causing some odd reactions in her skin. It felt nice but something that she didn't have time for. "And I'm not this Aoi person, I'm Santa!"

Realizing he was still lodged between her breasts, Shinji pushed himself up as quickly and dignified as possible before extending his hand to the girl that just said she was Santa. Pulling her up, "Aoi-san is this a joke? Why are you here?" Getting a good look at her illuminated by the moonlight streaming through his window, Shinji couldn't help but blush. Aoi was clad in a very unique rendition of the Santa Claus outfit and looked like something she would sooner die of embarrassment than actually wear. She had the traditional red Santa hat on but that was where the decency ended. Her chest was covered in a red felt with white cotton accents but it was a tube top and left her midriff exposed and her skirt was red and pleated but went down to her mid thigh, and the last thing she had that stood out was a necklace of white gold with a snowflake charm dangling where his head had just been. "And why are you wearing that?"

Blushing at his wondering eyes, and for being caught, Santa cringed as she set weight on her leg. It was a sharp blinding pain, grabbing down at her ankle and rubbing it through the knee high red leather boots, Santa gasped in pain. "Ouch! My ankle I think it's sprained." Feeling the boy that attacked her, she reluctantly accepted it was with due cause since she hadn't checked if he was awake before coming into his home, lead her to his bed and sit her down she felt her nerves start t calm. "Thank you for helping, and I'm sorry I broke into your home."

"It's ok Aoi, but why did you do it?" Shinji asked as he took the chair from his desk and sat in front of the parody Santa.

Smiling bashfully, "I told you I'm Santa, not this Aoi person. Though I have heard this before. I need to meet this person. I came here because I'm having trouble getting gift ideas this year and rumor has it you're good at it." She had always been a little off in her duties as a Santa but didn't have any problem getting help. "But I think Christmas is going to have to wait this year…my ankle hurts to much for me to be able to do it."

"Wait you're really Santa? I thought he was a fat white man." Shinji rubbed his chin with his fingers. This girl couldn't be Aoi Shinji reasoned, Aoi just wouldn't wear that clothing and talk in the unabashed voice. So again Shinji accepted the strangeness of life, with Angels, demons, robots, aliens, who was to say a girl couldn't be Santa and look like one of his fiancés?"

"I'm A Santa, there are lots of us. One for every city and we do the real Santa Clause's work, but I'm still not too good at it and if I don't get this done I'll be fired." Her tone was filled with a sadness that even Shinji could feel, his eyes begged the question, what happens if you're fired. "And if I get fired it means I'll be turned back into dust. I was given life to fulfill the Christmas wishes of the good hearted but in this pain I can't possible…"

Standing up quickly, sending his chair to the ground, Shinji was shocked, "I can't let that happen! I'll do this…um…wish fulfilling for you! I hurt you in my haste so I have to make up for it!" He couldn't let this girl die for him because he attacked her! "Just tell me what to do and I'll get it done!"

About to tell him no, that it wasn't his task to do, Santa couldn't find the words. The determination in his eyes was to great that she was moved by it. "Ok…here," pulling the necklace over her head, Santa handed the confused boy the trinket. In a blinding light Santa's cloths vanished leaving a very nude girl on Shinji's bed. "Put this on and it'll give you the powers of a Santa. I'll communicate to you through it to tell you who to go to and what to do."

Averting his eyes from the very well proportioned girl in front of him, a small part of him wondering if Aoi did look like that, Shinji put the necklace on and felt his own cloths change into the traditional Santa Claus suit. "Ok…let's do this."

X- Honestly the Aoi-Santa suit is something indecent right? Tell me you agree –X

While he said he'd help Santa, Shinji wasn't really feeling good about his first assignment. "Santa are you sure she can't see me?" Shinji asked as he stood over Hotaru's sleeping body. Speaking telepathically to the rather attractive version of the old Christmas custom by touching the snowflake talisman, Shinji could feel the sweat building in his palms. Her room looks different from the last time I was here.

Yes the large yet unfilled room of his first visit didn't do justice to the changes Hotaru had instilled since she lost her pet. The room was adorn with posters of tigers, a pile of plush white tigers in a corner of her room increased the cuteness factor Hotaru held, and the one present Shinji gave to her held the highest perch. On the girls desk was a stack of medical books and tools. She was taking her dreams into her hands and shaping them into reality. Murmuring sweet nothings in her sleep, Shinji almost didn't hear Santa's reply.

"That is correct. I didn't think you were awake so I didn't enact the magic of the pendant to make myself invisible," the girl's voice filled Shinji's head but still retained its soft qualities. "Now do what I told you and determine what her Christmas wish is."

Looking up at the sky, Shinji stomped his foot, "But that's…isn't that wrong of me to touch her like that?" His eyes went to Hotaru's chest to the sky where he envisioned his guide was watching. I know it's where her heart is but…isn't it wrong?

A giggle filled Shinji's mind again, "It's only bad if you have bad intentions. You're here to fulfill her wish and you can't do that unless you know what it is silly." This was becoming quite fun for the Santa whose life was held in the balance. At first she thought the boy was a little pervert, feeling her up as he did, but after watching him she knew that wasn't the case. No wonder he was on my list for wishes.

"Ok fine but if she gets upset I'll never be able to live with myself," he mutter as he put one hand on the talisman and his other slowly snaked its way to Hotaru's body. His hand lingered in the air above the thin sheet for a moment as he built his courage then finally dove in. Unlike what he expected to happen, his hand brushing against the girl's supple body, it phased into it, the room bathed in a soft pink light that bellowed out from where his hand sank into her body.

A pleasant sigh left Hotaru's lips as warmth spread over her whole body. Shinji peeked into her dream, a dream meant to show him her most desired wish for Christmas. "Oh Tiger Cub-san its so nice to have you back," Hotaru's dream self chirped as she picked up a familiar animal and placed a loving kiss on its nose. Standing in a green field full of pansy's and tulips Hotaru twirled around in circles holding the animal in her arms but her body bumped into another.

Unable to make out the features of the boy, Shinji couldn't have known it was him. The dream was meant of Hotaru and the magic that infused Shinji wouldn't allow him to learn secrets not meant for him. "Oh you came like you promised and you got me such a lovely gift!" Hotaru set the tiger cub down and embraced the man, the dream Shinji. Seeing enough the real Shinji pulled his hand out.

"Well I can't really give you an animal as Santa said its one of the few things I can't, lets see what I can do," reaching into the sack Santa gave him to give gifts he tried to remember what she told him. Think of the person, think of the vision, and pray to the magic of the season to give the person what they truly want. His hand reached deeply into the bag and pulled out an exact replica of himself when he was stuck in the cat's body complete with big red bow.

His eyes boggled at the present in his mind, "This is what she wants most for Christmas?" Unable to refute her, Shinji gently pulled her arm away from her body and set the toy in Hotaru's arms. Clutching it instantly Shinji smiled at the site only to be interrupted right after.

"Ok Shinji-san its time to go to the next house. If you stay to long with one person we'll never get finished." Shinji almost thought he heard a little anger in the mental voice but dismissed it. Slinging the bag over his shoulder he touched the talisman again and was moved to the next location.

X-X

Case after case of gifts being given to the proper person left Shinji feeling a lot better with himself. Little children grabbing the toy in their sleep, in some cases it was a picture of a loved one no longer living, for one poor man on the street it was a sandwich and Shinji broke one of the Santa's laws and gave the man a second gift of a invitation to a job seminar. Time kept slipping onward and yet Shinji still felt awake and alive, happy even. Yet he hadn't seen anybody else that he actually knew. That changed with the next jump.

"Ok Shin-chan," Shinji didn't notice how Santa's term for him changed, "There is one more rule I didn't tell you. All of Kami-sama's servants on Earth get presents regardless if they deserve them or not," Santa's tone dropping to irritation. "So the next location actually has three that deserve wishes, two goddesses and one human, and a drunk that should get a smack to the face for her perversion and drunkenness but I digress."

Looking around at the familiar surroundings, Shinji found himself at an old Buddhist temple he had only visited once. "This is Keiichi-san's home!" he exclaimed as he saw the signs on the door to 'Urd's Potion Shop', 'Skuld's workroom', and 'Belldandy's tearoom.' Opening the first door and walking in, Shinji saw the bronze Goddess of love fast asleep with a bottle of saki in her arms. "Urd-san is first I guess." Shinji's hand moved now from experience towards the woman's heart to find her wish.

"WAIT SHIN-CHAN I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!" Santa screamed just as Shinji's hand faded into the pink light. In her fascination of watching the boy work, Aoi forgot one of the little quirks with dealing with beings from a higher plain.

"Shinji-kun what are you doing in my dream, and why are you dressed like a Santa?" Urd asked confused and a little perplexed at having her dream invaded and altered. It had been a dream about Troubadour and was as closest to a nightmare Urd ever got. But that changed to her being back at her home outside and on the veranda with a Santa suit clad Shinji Ikari.

Santa's voice filled Shinji's mind again, "Some of the Goddesses have the ability to sense you. Belldandy is likely to…preoccupied to notice you and Skuld doesn't have enough power but Urd as you can see knows your there. Sorry." Laying on Shinji's bed, ice bag on her ankle, Santa's face was a lovely shade of red.

Watching as Urd slinked closer to him, her eyes looking hungry, Shinji stammered, "I'm helping a Santa I hurt on accident…I'm here to give you your Christmas wish Urd-san." Why was she looking at him like that, it was a look he was accustomed too but still hadn't realized wasn't anger but adoration.

"What if I said I wanted to play with a Santa for Christmas," she cooed into his ear as she draped her arms around him. His power is intoxicating I don't think I want to let Skuld have him. Anybody that can get mothers attention…mother…Urd's hand slinked down off of the boy.

"Urd-san this is all I can do for you right now…you seem to not have any physical wants so…since this is technically a dream you can do whatever you want without fear of the effects of the outside world," Shinji felt his body had been acting on its own, the talisman glowing white and hot to the touch.

In a burst of fire, lightning, and high winds the CEO of Hell Hild emerged from the ground. "Urd-chan! Mommy wants to wish her daughter a happy Christmas!" Hild chirped as she flung herself at Urd and embraced her wayward daughter.

About to push the woman away, not wanting to hurt the woman but unable to reciprocate the affection that she felt but wanted to, Urd heard Shinji's words in her head again. It was a dream so technically nothing she did here was real. She'd be able to…actually tell her mother that… "Mom…I love you," Urd said as the tears started to fall down her cheeks. She didn't know if she'd ever be able to tell her mother her feelings in fear of shifting to her demonic side. She wouldn't betray her sisters but it hurt to spurn ones mother but today, this night even if she had to lie to herself after and say it was a dream she could be true to herself.

At Santa's insistence Shinji phased out of Urd's dream to let the pair have their moment in private, Shinji headed to the next room. Though in his absence both Urd and Hild felt the shared want to thank that boy later for this moment. Standing in the shared bedroom of Keiichi and Belldandy, Shinji almost felt like running away. Clothing was strewn about everywhere, the sheet covering the two told Shinji that they weren't clothed under it. Keiichi looked ragged and tired but Belldandy had a blissful expression on her face.

Belldandy had made good on her vow to show her love physically to her husband. Once in the morning, again when he got home from work, and one time before bed. She loved the concept of emotions in physical form and making love was the epitome of that. Keiichi never knew what hit him most of the time and now was exhausted most of the time, Belldandy was draining.

Covering his eyes, Shinji read both of their dreams and a few seconds after touching Belldandy pulled his hand back as if she was on fire. Some things aren't for me to see and that was one of them. Reaching into his bag Shinji wasn't surprised that Belldandy's gift was a six-pack of energy drinks, Keiichi's was a new lock for his door and a pair of knitting needles with Belldandy's name engraved on them.

"He wants her to be busy with something else if your wondering about this Shin-chan" Santa's mirth filled voice wafted into his mind again. Shaking the creepy feeling that maybe Keiichi was a doomed man, Shinji left the room and headed to the last, Skuld's. As he walked into the room, something odd happened, a robot sprung out of the girl's closet and looked right at him.

"Santa-san…can that thing see me?" Shinji asked nervous as the big headed robot's eyes flashed and inched closer to him. "Santa-san?" Ben-Pei came closer…closer…closer. "I think it's not happy to see me!" About to turn tail and run, the Ben-Pei's arms leapt out and encircled the temporary Santa. Unknown to the boy was that Skuld reprogrammed the machine to reflect her change in affections for him. Ben-Pei was just showing its appreciation for filling the cold place in his master's heart.

As the machine disengaged and rolled back to its closet, Shinji scratched his chin again, "Santa-san are you ok?" but Santa was busy looking around Shinji's room, blanket wrapped around her body to keep from getting to cold. Laughing nervously, Shinji just went back to work, "Sorry about this Skuld-san," reaching into her dream Shinji was amazed at what he saw. Skuld surrounded by machines, all of her own design, her sisters praising her for her achievements and how proud they were for her. It brought a smile to his face to see that he was right, in time she'd be just as good if not more so than her elder siblings.

Pulling his hand out just before his dream self again entered the dream holding a bouquet of roses and a simple gold ring. Reaching into his bag, the real Shinji pulled out the gift of a wrench and ratchet set. So far he was thankful that he'd not gotten the girls he knew the same gift as the one that came out of the bag. "Well that ends this house lets go to the next!"

X- Belldandy is so full of love that she'd choke Keiichi with it I think –X

He was finally starting to get tired after he finished delivering gifts to all the students of his school. After leaving the last house, Usagi's dream blinded him and her gift was a mound of chocolate, he was glad that Santa said it was time to come home. "You've finished all the people I missed before I got hurt Shin-chan so you can just give the gifts to the people at your apartment and then you're done."

Touching the talisman again Shinji found himself again in his bedroom with the sans clothing Santa but thankfully the blanket hid most of her skin. "You've got a hard job Santa-san and I think you don't get enough credit for it." Shinji sat heavily in his chair to get a few moments of peace and to catch his breath.

Sitting on the edge of his bed, Santa just nodded, "Well we work for the real Santa and are given life in his name so we have to pay somehow don't we?" Her shoulders slumped down as she looked away from her temporary prodigy. She'd be asleep again soon, Santa's are only given one day a year to be awake and they worked that whole day. She was actually lucky to have been hurt and to have such a kind man let her rest and experience life like a normal person. "Well since it's so late you can give the first gift to that thing in your closet."

"Kos-Mos is back already?" Shinji asked shocked not realizing how much time had passed since he started his trek. "She didn't see you or anything?" Shinji hoped that was the case because explaining a nude Aoi in his room would be hard even if she wasn't really Aoi, she was still nude.

Blushing lightly Santa stuck her tongue out, "Hid under your bed when she came in and I think she's asleep now. And since she is part angelic in nature she is guaranteed a wish." Getting to her feet, Santa followed behind Shinji as he walked to his closet and pulled open the door. Tinsel and garland clinging to her body, Kos-Mos appeared to be sleeping.

Closing his eyes, it was too hard to look in the faces of those he knew when he touched their hearts, Shinji reached for Kos-Mos. Like every other time, the room was filled with the same pink light as he saw her deepest most wish. What Shinji saw brought tears to his eyes because he knew he couldn't give her that wish. Kos-Mos was walking down the street clad in a white button up shirt and a teal skirt that went down to her white tennis shoes and completely devoid of her technological implants she was fully human.

A man was holding her hand as they walked and though he couldn't make out his features, Shinji could feel the happiness radiating from the pair. He watched them go to a movie, to a bistro, and finally a stroll in the park. It tore his heart to know what she wanted most was something he couldn't give her. Pulling his hand back out, Shinji wasn't shocked to feel the wetness trailing down his cheek. "I don't know how you do it Santa-san, it's so sad to see these dreams and know you can't really deliver them to those who deserve them."

Laying her hand on his shoulder, Santa smiled, "It's just how things are Shin-chan. Not all dreams can be answered but we can make people happy. Give them some part of that happiness that they deserve." She watched the still crying lightly boy reach into the bag and pull out Kos-Mos's gift, neither of them knew what it really was for, but Shinji put the baggy containing several small computer chips on Kos-Mos's charger and shut her door again.

"You said you gave Sasami-san her present already and I gave Rei-san her year subscription to Manga monthly a few houses ago so who is left?" Shinji asked suddenly feeling a little cold. He kept looking at the closed door and didn't know what to say. He saw many dreams this night, most were simple and basic, but a few were heart wrenching for him. The daughter dreaming of seeing her death mother again, the wife dreaming of her departed husband, and countless other hopeless dreams. "I think I'm ready for sleep."

Empathizing with the youth as she too knew the pang of guilt of unable to fulfill dreams and wish, Santa patted his back. "Misato Katsuragi is the last person that you will grant a wish to." Following silently as Shinji walked to Misato's room and stepped into the woman's room, Santa was worried that she scarred the poor child and how she was going to grant his wish. "Wait let me grant your wish first alright?"

"Oh…ok, you need the necklace right?" Shinji asked as Santa nodded. Taking it off and handing it back to Santa, the Santa suit dematerialized from his body and again wrapped around her in its perverse new form. "But I really don't want anything so I don't know what you'll give me."

Her smile grew wider at his words, "Well a lot of boys your age have dreams of being with women they care for…I could take their place for you if you want." Santa got the reaction she was hoping for and saw Shinji's jaw drop and face burn bright red while shaking his hands back and forth. "Kidding Shin-chan Kidding. Now close your eyes and I'll check your dream."

Following Santa's demand Shinji closed his eyes and waiting to feel what all the recipients of his touch felt. It was warm and soothing, Santa's hand as it touched into his dream. Santa felt such warmth from it, such care and love radiating from the dream that she too was brought to tears, but they were tears of joy. It was like joy was turned into a physical form and it wrapped around her. His dream is to make others happy…to make them feel loved and cared for. Kissing his cheek softly Santa saw one other thing he wanted, and it was something she could do.

X-X

Waking with a start, Shinji knocked his empty cup over onto the floor but couldn't move to reclaim it. Looking at the mass of purple hair on top of his chest, Shinji guess that Misato had come home and fell asleep on the couch not knowing he was there. He didn't expect that it was Misato's dream to sleep with her beloved Shinji and that her wish was granted. "Guess all that stuff was just a dream…I guess Santa doesn't really exist in the form of Aoi-san."

It made more sense for that to be the case, his whole ordeal as being a substitute Santa being a dream. Misato murmured softly into his chest and wrapped her arms around him tighter and nuzzled him with her nose before falling back into slumber. "Rest well Misato-san cause today is going to be a busy day."

Turning his head back to the balcony Shinji saw something that was impossible something that couldn't be there. Snow! It was snowing! "I…I didn't think it was…" His eyes widened and his face broke open with the biggest smile he'd had in a long time. Snow on Christmas on a planet suffering from permanent summer. I guess miracles can happen after all.

All around Tokyo-3 people with clean and pure hearts, meaning Asuka didn't get a present, were waking from the best night sleep they had in ages to find an unexpected present waiting them.

And as Shinji made his rounds that day playing the gift giver to all his friends and acquaintances he could sense they were just genuinely happier than usual as he was. The Magi were unable to explain how the city was draped in the slight snow cover that it was but nobody seemed to mind.

It was a good day and though he couldn't tell Shinji had his own personal Santa following around watching him. And as he pulled himself into his bed to get some much deserved rest felt a phantom kiss on his forehead as his eyes closed.

"We'll meet again next Christmas Shin-chan, and every one afterward," Santa spoke softly into his already sleeping ears as she faded away again as all Christmas sprites did.
