A/N: Christmas chapter! I had to write it early since I have a bunch of relatives to visit over Christmas eve and Boxing day.

Due to that I tried to make this longer than usual. Hopefully you guys enjoy it!

D.L.D

Gwen's P.O.V

Christmas has finally come back round. The season I hate the most.

I sighed as I sat at my old desk at my mom's house writing on the last few pages of my diary. I'm surprised I still have this old thing, especially after all the mishaps it's caused. But then again it holds some of my best memories.

I closed the diary and headed towards my old wardrobe getting out a 'festive' outfit, as my mom tells me to every year. Once again she'd picked it out, but I was surprised with what I found. Instead of the usual dress I had jeans and a loose black shirt.

"I thought you'd want something that's a little more..you this year," My mom smiled from behind me. Since when did she get here?

"Thanks mom," I gave her hug.

"Now make sure to get ready in time," She warned jokingly, "Or I'll drag you outside half-naked."

I laughed as she left, before getting what I needed and heading towards the shower. All signs show that Christmas was going the way it does every year.

Amy's P.O.V

Christmas season another reminder of what was missing. I groaned as I thought about how much the last few months of the year put me through. First Halloween where I remember that Samey's death was my fault, then Christmas where I miss spending time with her and finally New Years where I remember it's another year without Samey.

I sighed as I tied my short hair into a ponytail before grabbing the bag full of presents. I still can't bring myself to grow my hair out it still brought back too many memories. I shuddered as I left my room and headed towards the living room where Elena and my mom were waiting.

Once again my friends and I had planned to do a joint Christmas. We'd all bought gifts to exchange and had already prepared food and everything else. It was going to be fun, like last year, but what made this year special was that it was Elena's first time going to one of these events.

"What's it like?" She asked practically bouncing as we walked down the street.

"Well," I began, "It's really nice and welcoming, there's all sorts of tasty food, and lots of fun."

"Really?" Her eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

I nodded, "Yep."

I saw her smile before I felt my phone vibrate. Raising a brow, I took it out from my pocket and answered.

"Hello?"

"Amy, I'm so glad you answered," Dawn's voice spoke, "Something is terribly wrong."

"Dawn, what do you mean?" I say my voice going slightly higher.

"It's- it's...I can't say directly but I feel it. Maybe I'll be able to say more when I see you in person," She paused, "But..I'm not too certain."

"Dawn, what's going on?" I say my voice sounding normal again.

"Just get to the venue for the Christmas party," She sighed, "I'll try to explain it there."

The call then ended and I was left looking confused as I continued to walk down the street.

"Everything ok?" Elena asked as she looked at me.

"Everything's fine," I lie flashing her a small smile, "Dawn was just talking about the cookies. Something about there not being enough sprinkles."

"Oh...ok then," She smiled back, "We'd better hurry to the venue then."

"Yeah, we should," I say as we continue to walk down the street.

Katie's P.O.V

"Thanks for inviting my family to the party Dakota," I smiled at her.

We'd just arrived at the venue and I had to say it was amazing. There were decorations everywhere and I could spot a tree in the corner with a bunch of presents underneath it.

There was a table in the center of the room with all sorts of amazing dishes on it, from turkey to exotic treats like paella. It was amazing just thinking about how much effort went into this whole event.

"No problem," She replied, "You looked like you needed some cheering up, plus quite a few more people turned up this year."

I looked around at all the guests and I could see a variety of people from our college, and their families, all conversing and having their own types of fun. Even Amy was laughing and enjoying herself, when usually she'd just stick to watching everyone enjoy themselves.

"Well, enjoy the evening!" She smiled before heading off to help another group that was arriving.

I was about to go off to where Tom, Zoey and Jen were, when I felt someone grab me and pull me away. When I finally yanked myself from their grasp, I spotted that Dawn, Mike and Amy were in front of me. They all had grave expressions on their faces and I could see that they had news to share.

DJ'S P.O.V

Christmas time. The time when all my family come together for the one time of year. Controlled chaos as some may describe m family, but that was the way we liked it. Usually the kids would go wild, while the adults enjoyed themselves a little, while also being aware of what the kids were doing. It was how the season went every year.

I was in the kitchen helping Mama and my other relatives cook, like every year. It was the way I enjoyed spending the holiday, instead of doing what my cousins did. I was in the middle of peeling vegetables, when I heard a familiar voice from behind me.

"Mind if I help?" I turned to see Natasha with a small smile, "I'm a bit tired of talking about gossip with Nicola."

"I can imagine," I chuckled before handing her a peeler, chopping board and vegetables, "There."

"Thanks," She smiled before heading towards the kitchen table to work.

Natasha was always so quiet and reserved, no matter what happened. It almost amazed me how a twelve year old could do that. At that age I was always squealing at something.

"Khalid you can't do that!" Natasha reached for the peeler as her older cousin held them above her.

"Come on Tash," He chuckled, "It's funny!"

"I need those to peel the vegetables," She protested as she jumped to try and reach them. Unfortunately, Khalid was a lot taller than her so she couldn't reach. He laughed as she kept attempting.

"I swear if you don't give them to me..." Her tone grew deadly.

"What? You'll beat me up?" He teased.

A low growl was heard and suddenly Khalid was knocked to the ground, Natasha pinning him down as she delivered a swift, hard blow to his face. But it didn't stop there, Khalid retaliated kneeing her in the stomach. But that didn't stop the fuming female, she punched him on the nose causing it to squirt blood.

"That's it!" Khalid glared at her.

"Try me," Natasha gave him 'the look'.

By now the adults had turned their attention to the two brawling children and they could see that it was escalating quickly. Before the two could leap on each other, the adults had them restrained and took the peelers off Khalid.

"Both of you took it way too far," Aunt Shanice sighed.

"Both of them?" My Mama looked at the female as if she was crazy, "Khalid took it too far. You know Tash doesn't react like that for no reason."

"That doesn't mean she causes him to have a nosebleed!" The two were growing deadly.

"You're just defending your son!" Mama protested.

"Like I would," My aunt scoffed.

Then another argument broke out.

I sighed as I watched the other adults try to calm down the two children and mama and Aunt Shanice. This was going to be one long Christmas...

Bridgette's P.O.V

I try to calm myself as we enter Geoff's parents' house. It wasn't Geoff's parents that scared me it was his super strict grandparents. I'd met them before and I knew that they weren't too happy about me being pregnant.

"It'll be fine Bridge," Geoff smiled.

"I hope so," I smiled, "Your grandparents weren't too happy last time I saw them."

"They're just stuck in the past," Geoff shrugged, "Plus they've done worse than what they let on. Trust me."

"Ok," I say as we entered the living room.

"Bridgette!" Geoff's mom immediately tackled me in a hug, "I'm so glad you came."

She pulled away and smiled, "Is that one of my grandchildren?"

I nodded, blushing slightly.

"Aww!" She reached out for Ava, "May I?"

"Yeah..of course!" I say handing her over.

"She looks exactly like you!" She cooed, "It is Ava right?"

I nodded, blushing slightly

"Well you and Geoff sure did make cute children," She chuckled, "Arron looks a lot like Geoff, but he has your hazel eyes. Vice versa for Ava."

"Really? We thought they looked a lot like their grandparents," I say, "Right Geoff?"

"Yeah," He nodded.

"Nope, they definitely look like you two," Geoff's mom smiled, "Hey everyone! Come look at Bridgette and Geoff's twins!"

Suddenly everyone was around us, trying to get a look at the twins. I laughed as I heard people pushing and shoving and blushed a little at some of the comments. This was definitely the opposite of what I was expecting.

"See, I told you everything would be fine Bridge," Geoff smiled placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I guess you were right," I smiled returning the favor.

Maybe Christmas wasn't gonna be as stressful as I thought it would be.

Courtney's P.O.V

I sighed as I was once again in a room with my family. Everyone had a poster smile on and laughed and conversed with each other, when really they were all waiting for the right moment to reveal something. That was the way my family worked. We were 'entitled' and we were all rich and 'snobby'. So we acted towards that stereotype. The only person who didn't was my distant Aunt and her kids who moved to the UK after having enough of our family.

I sighed as I kept going through endless posts on Snapchat and Instagram, trying not to engage in any conversation. It was just my luck to have sat right next to Melissa.

"So, Court," She smiled, "I heard you didn't get into Harvard."

"I didn't," I say, "But it had nothing to do with me. It was something to do with Chris..."

"Really?" She asked, "Like what?"

"Listen Mel, I tried not to go to this college, but it will not stop me from going to law school," I say glaring at her, "If you think doing this is going to make me snap then you're wrong."

"Jeez, I was just asking," She rolled her eyes, "Whatever. I have to call my boyfriend anyway."

She then walked away leaving me to do as I pleased. I sighed in relief. My family was really trying to pull my strings this year..

Dawn's P.O.V

I sighed as I looked at Katie, Amy and Mike. None of them could tell the impending doom that was coming, especially since Moon season was close.

"You're probably all wondering why we had to meet like this," I say as they all give me confused expressions, "Well...I have a feeling that Mal and Val are coming back."

"But I thought Val was gone?" Amy looked at me.

"Yeah, Mal's been dormant for some time now," Mike agreed.

"Who are Mal and Val?" Katie asked, "And why do their names rhyme?"

"Yeah, why is Katie here?" Mike asked.

"Because her other side is showing too," I sighed, "Listen, someone is triggering these reactions in everyone causing them to act in the opposite way they usually would."

"But how could that cause Mal and Val to come out?" Amy raised a brow as I sighed.

"You don't understand," I say, "If someone is triggering this, then everyone's other side will come out causing chaos!"

"But what has this got to do with me," Katie asked, "I don't have this other side thingy you're talking about. Though she would be super cute cause she'd know how to dress and-"

"Katie!" I say, "This isn't a bonding ritual thing. If the other sides get out...then the natural order will be blown out of balance and everything won't be fine."

"Wait...so Heather will be nice?" Amy shuddered as she spoke.

I nodded and all three of them shuddered.

"I didn't think that was possible," Katie spoke, "She's, like, the embodiment of evil."

"Neither did I," Mike agreed.

"So what do we have to do to prevent this Dawn?" Amy looked at me.

"We find the culprit," I say simply.

Trent's P.O.V

I was listening to the charts on the radio as I fiddled with my guitar when something caught my attention.

"And at number 1 on the charts is the Drama Brothers!" The presenter spoke, "With their hit single when I cry!"

I began to hear the song play and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Not too long after I heard my phone ring and I answered.

"Trent! Did you hear what happened?" Cody spoke.

"Yeah, we topped the charts!" I say.

"We're gonna be famous!" He exclaimed.

"Too far Cody," I say shaking my head, "We'll probably need to find a manager and a producer before that happens."

My mom then came into the room a wide smile on her face.

"Trent, you won't believe what just happened!"
