MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS! And wow, long Author's note.

So now, at my house, it's like Twelve a.m. (Please don't kill me Silverstar121), and usually Santa would bring presents at this time. But I talked with my mom and she said that "He would come early this year." And that explained why the UPS truck yesterday came with all these boxes. Way to ruin the surprise mom :( But the point of all of it is that I'm able to type here today, without hitting my head on the keyboard in exhaustion and agony. Because I slept ALL during the day . -_- Go me.

OH, and today we have a different POV, and a different perspective (Wait, is that the same thing?) Don't worry, it still has Max in it…. But just Max _

…And her mom.

I'm sorry if it's short, but I lied; I'm tireeed. So, yea.

Prompt: Christmas (O really?)

December 25, 2011

A pleasant surprise.

"Mom, mom, wake up! Can we open presents now?"

Valencia knew this was coming; it happened every year. She would go to work, come back late, fall in bed due to exhaustion, and wake up with her daughter in her face.

"What time is it?" she mumbled, ruffling Ella's hair as she sat up.

"Five in the morning!" Oh Lord no.

"Sweetie," she asked, trying to sound as non-irritated as possible. "Can you maybe wake me up at a more logical time? It's still dark outside."

"No!" Ella shook her head frantically, tugging on her mother's pajamas. "I'm already awake, and can't go back to sleep. Now, come on!"

Valencia saw this part coming as well; where she gives in and gets up to make breakfast.

"We need to eat first." She reminded her daughter, who whined in protest and annoyance. Pretty child-like for a thirteen year old.

Once she finished making eggs and toast, the two of them settled down at the table. Dr. Martinez (known by that to many people), sipped her tea and sighed. It would just be them again. It was always like this, year after year. It was becoming quite dull for her; or maybe she was just getting old. Probably old (Not that she would admit that).

She was startled out of her thoughts when she heard a soft, yet rapid knock at the door. Cautious, she set down her and walked towards the door, telling Ella to stay put. She cracked it open a bit, but swung it fully open when she saw who it was.

"Hi," Max said lamely, fiddling with her hands. She had mud and leaves in her hair, and scratches all over her body. The Flock looked quite the same as they hung back behind her. "I know this is sudden, but do you mind if we… um, stay here for awhile?"

Valencia couldn't help the feeling of happiness and excitement at the sight of her daughter and her family. Even if they looked like that, she could handle it; take of it. Her and Ella wouldn't have to be alone anymore.

"Come on inside." She smiled brightly, and gestured them to the house. "And Merry Christmas."

They gladly obliged.

Karma: ZZZZZZZ- Gaah, fear not, I'm awake! So… I lied. Longer than I expected. Oh, but me throwing in Ella and the rest of the Flock was all A SURPRISE. For Christmas, of course! Merry Christmas! Oh, and I quite like Max's mom. First off, she has a name rather than Dr. Martinez (SO HARD TO TYPE), Valencia. It's very pretty and I like it. ;) So it won't be like, "Dr. Martinez, Dr. Martinez, blah, blah, blah." Ugh, I hate typing that.

And I have two Christmas Specials for Christmas (duh), so expect the next one after I open my presents and such.

Soooo, I'm going to sleep now. And because it's Christmas, the holiday of giving, let's aim for… *checks reviews* At least 50 reviews! 49's okay too, I guess. The goal can also be reached with the next special too. I very much appreciate it!

See you tomorrow! Expect Fang, but….. Different.
