Christmas was drawing near. Tommy had planned a Christmas party for the rangers. But, all of them weren't able to come. Billy and Willie were going back to Angel Grove to spend Christmas with their parents. They invited Kat and Haley to go with them. And both of them accepted the offer. Kira and Trent were going out of town with Anton and Kira's parents. They were going to finish buying things for their wedding. Conner and Ethan were going on the ski trip with the rest of the freshmen class. Tommy and Kimberly were going to spend the whole vacation alone. It would be just the two of them. Tommy knew that Kimberly loved it when they spent a holiday or birthday alone.
Both of them wanted to make sure that the other one had a good Christmas. One day after school, they both went Christmas shopping for each other. Tommy got Kimberly a pair light pink sweatpants and a light pink sweatshirt, a pink sweater dress, a pink ever last sports tracksuit, a light pink athletic tee, a set of pink pearls, a pink sweater, jeans, a new pair of tennis shoes, a beach cover up dress (to wear when they worked with the swim team), a pink coat, black snow boots, a pink and white plaid pajama set, a maroon shirt, dress shoes, a white velour two piece set.
Kimberly got Tommy a pair green sweat pants and a green sweatshirt, a white sweater, a red ever last sports tracksuit, a red athletic tee, a new a watch, a new pair of tennis shoes, a black and white plaid pajama set, a new pair of dress shoes, a black coat, black snow boots, jeans, khakis, a gray shirt, gray dress pants, and a white fleece two piece set.
On Christmas Eve Tommy got out an air mattress and put it down in the living room. He got out quilts and two pillows for them to use. They started a Christmas tradition several years ago. When they celebrated their first Christmas together, they were snowed in at Tommy's uncle cabin. It was really cold and they had to put quilts on the bed and keep a fire going all night.
The following morning they exchanged presents. They never could understand why they always got each other the same type of gifts every year. Tommy and Kimberly always thought it was because they knew each other inside and out. After they exchanged presents, Tommy suggested that they went to the new youth center. They went up stairs to change. Tommy put on khakis, a green cable pullover sweater, and a white tee. Kimberly put on her new pink sweater dress, white stockings, and black dress boots. They packed a bag with their extra clothes. It was only a fifteen minute walk from their house; Tommy suggested that they walked. They put on their new coats and walked outside and started walking to the new youth center.
"The new youth center just opened last week.I wanted to take you last week. But, it was crowded. It has a spa, a juice bar, a workout center, hot tubs, an in door pool, and several indoor water parks."
"What's in the indoor waterpark?"
"Kim, it has water slides, a lazy river, and a pool. It isn't too big. You have to reserve on of the rooms for the indoor water park."
"So, we have it all to ourselves?"
"We do. It even has a changing room and lockers inside the room. And the room is locked. No one can come in."
"How deep is the water?"
"The pool is four feet and the lazy river is five to six feet. I don't know how deep the water slides are. I've heard they are four to five feet."
"We're not getting on the water slides, are we?"
"No, I've already promised you several times we weren't."
"I don't want another repeat of what happened at the water park in Angel Grove."
They final reached the new youth center. It was next to the mall. The youth center had several people there. Most of them were in the spas and in the pool. Tommy checked into the youth center, where he made reservations. The room was already reserved. It looked like they were going to have to do something else. Kimberly grabbed Tommy's hand and pulled him into a corner.
"Are you disappointed?"
"A little bit. I just wanted us to be able to do something together."
"What would that be?"
"A day at the Spa."
"When you said a day at the spa, were you meaning just you? Or the both of us?"
"Tommy, I was meaning the two of us."
