*Hello Beauties and Gentlebeauties are you ready to cook with a killer robot?*
*Mettaton what are you doing? You're in the wrong fanfi- I mean Fandom. Get out of here!*
*Well, it's not my fault you are taking so long to update your stories.*
*..Just get out off here!..'Ahem' Sorry for that… Anyway*
Quick Info: This is the Christmas Special! I know that I haven't updated in a while but its because I was planning what I want to do with this Story and I accidentally created a few AU/AT for this story. So, I was kinda busy with my One Piece story... I changed a few things in there. So, my plans for Steven Universe is first this Christmas Special (Maybe I'll write a part two), next I'll update two filler episodes I'm currently working on "Joking Victim" and then I'll start working on "Island Adventure". Okay...let´s start with the Special... Oh, and everything that happens during this episode is not canon...yet.
[Steven Universe: The Christmas Special]
[At the Beach House]
"Whaaaaaaat?!" Steven exclaims loudly.
"You don't know what Christmas is?" He asks Lapis, Peridot and Jasper.
Lapis and Peridot look at him confused while Jasper looks annoyed.
The three nod.
"But it's the best thing that happens every year. Everyone loves Christmas." Steven rambles.
"Steven you said the same thing when it was Easter," Alex says amusingly.
"Uh...yeah," Steven looks at her.
"And on your birthday, and on my birthday...and on Valentine's Day," Alex says.
"You didn't look that annoyed when we were celebrating Valentine's Day," Amethyst says teasingly as she walks towards the fridge.
Alex glares at Amethyst but it's impossible to take the glare seriously cause Alex is blushing.
Lapis is also blushing slightly.
"In fact, it looks like you were enjoying it this year," Amethyst says laughing.
"Amethyst stop teasing Alex," Garnet scolds her slightly.
Amethyst sits on the couch still laughing.
Alex glares at her slightly before looking grateful at Garnet.
"But she's right Alex...you really enjoyed Valentine's Day this year," Garnet says with a small grin.
"Garnet!" Alex says annoyed as she blushes harder.
"Stop talking about Valentine's Day... It's two weeks before Christmas and Lapis, Peridot and Jasper don't know what it is," Steven says as he turns his attention to the three.
"Please, tell me that this isn't as stupid as Easter or Valentine's Day," Jasper says annoyed.
"No! It's better. There´s a Christmas Tree, fireworks and Santa comes at night and brings presents." Steven says.
"Santa?" Peridot asks confused.
"Let me explain it," Alex says. "We buy us a Christmas tree and decorate it with Christmas Decorating and on top of it is Star, we also decorate the whole House. On the night before Christmas Eve. We put a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa and go to bed early. On the next day when you wake up, there´ll be presents under the Christmas Tree. At the evening you have dinner with your family and then you go outside to play in the snow."
"Presents?" Peridot asks excitedly.
"Yes, Peri. Presents." Alex says with an amusing grin.
"Snow?" Jasper asks curiously. "What is snow?"
"Well, ..." Steven cuts Alex off.
"IT'S SNOWING!" Steven exclaims and runs towards the window.
Everyone walks towards the window and stares outside. White snowflakes are falling from the sky slowly. (Writing this makes me sad... I wish it would finally start to snow but it seems that this year there won't be any snow)
"This is snow," Alex says grinning.
"Wow," Peri exclaims.
"It looks beautiful," Lapis says smiling slightly.
"So, you said playing in the snow? How do you wanna play in that?" Jasper asks.
"Well, there isn't much snow right now...but after a while, there´ll be a lot of snow covering the sand, the earth and basically everything. Then we'll go outside we can throw it at each other or build something with it." Alex says.
"Or bury Alex in the snow, again," Amethyst says laughing.
"I told you, I will get you for that. You will be the one who's going to be buried in the snow." Alex says glaring playfully at Amethyst.
"This is what you said last year and the year before. You still haven't managed to bury me? What makes you think you can do that this year?" Amethyst asks her.
"Last year you had help from the two traitors. This time I will have help from three people." Alex says, and she looks at Jasper, Lapis and Peridot.
"Traitors?" Peridot asks.
"She is talking about me and Garnet. Me, Garnet and Amethyst were having a snowball fight against Pearl and Alex..." Steven explains it to her.
"Pearl didn't help Alex at all," Amethyst says.
"It's because Garnet hit her with a giant snowball and basically buried her beneath that," Alex says.
"And then this three... traitors...continued to throw snowballs at me even though I have already lost. And then they buried me beneath the snow,"
"And then Pearl got mad that we buried Alex and kicked buried us all three in the snow. This was funny," Steven says laughing.
"It was funny...until me and Steven caught something," Alex says.
"What did you catch?" Peridot asks confused.
Everyone is looking confused at her.
"A cold," Alex says making the Crystal Gems groan.
"I told you both to wear caps… but you didn't listen to me." Pearl scolds them both.
"But mom... we were wearing caps," Alex says and looks at her.
Steven chuckles next to her.
"What? No, you didn't wear anything," Pearl looks at her confused.
"We were wearing..." Alex starts with a grin.
"Ice caps." Steven and Alex both say.
"Okay, that's enough. I'm out of here." Jasper says annoyed, she turns around and walks into her room. (Yes, Jasper, Lapis and Peridot are living together with the Crystal Gems)
Alex and Steven were both laughing.
"Well, I think...this two weeks before Christmas Eve will be... Frosty," Alex says with a grin.
[Two weeks before Christmas Eve]
Alex is meditating in the living room peacefully.
"Hey, Alex,"
"Alex!" She hears Peridot and Lapis calling her.
Alex pretends that she doesn't hear them.
"Don't pretend like you didn't hear us... You're grinning," Lapis says amusingly.
Alex opens her eyes with a small laugh.
"Okay, Okay. What is it?" She asks them.
"Steven, Greg, Jasper and Garnet went to buy a Christmas tree. So, Pearl asked us to help decorate the house while they're gone," Lapis explains.
"So, what do you need me for?" Alex asks.
"But we don't know how," Peridot says.
Alex looks at them before she sighs and gets up. "Come on!" She says.
A few minutes later they come back into the living room with a few boxes.
"So, is this all that we need?" Peridot asks.
"Yep. Come on, let´s start with decorating the living room." Alex says.
They decorate the living room and the rest of the house together.
"Are you sure we're doing it right? It doesn't look like it," Lapis asks.
"Yeah, don't worry, Lo- Lapis. It will look beautiful once we're finished," Alex says.
"If you say so," Lapis shrugs.
They continue to decorate the house with garlands and other Christmas decoration.
Then they decorate the front side of the house.
Alex is using a ladder to reach the roof of the house.
"Are you sure you don't need help, Alex?" Lapis asks as she flies next to her.
"Yeah, the ladder doesn't seem very steady," Peridot says as she decorates the front door.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Alex says.
She decorates the roof, but then she notices that she can't reach it. Instead of asking for help she tries to stretch herself as far as possible.
I hate being so short, She thinks frustrated.
The ladder starts to shake and Alex slips.
"Alex!" Lapis exclaims and catches her.
"Why always me?" Alex complains annoyed.
"I told you," Lapis says amusingly.
Alex blushes slightly as she realizes that Lapis has caught her.
"Thanks," Alex mumbles embarrassed.
"You're welcome. Let´s continue to decorate the house," Lapis says.
(A few hours later)
The Christmas tree group has arrived with a Christmas tree.
Steven, Pearl and Lapis decorate the Christmas tree while the rest is planning what they should in these two weeks.
"We can go to the Christmas Market," Garnet says.
The other nod.
"We can go ice skating, play outside in the snow, go shopping to buy presents and other things," Alex says while drinking hot chocolate.
"But you said that Santa brings presents," Peridot says.
"I did, and he does bring presents, but we also buy a present for each other," Alex tells her.
"Hey, Alex. We want you to put the Star on top of the tree," Steven says as he gives her the Star.
"You do know that I can't reach the top of the Christmas tree, right? And I'm not using the ladder again," Alex says annoyed.
"Lapis can help you!" Steven says and Alex blushes.
"Come on," He takes her hand and guides her towards the tree.
Lapis picks up Alex and flies her to the top of the tree.
Alex puts the Star on top of it.
"So, what are we going to do?" Jasper asks.
"Okay, here´s the to-do list," Steven says.
TO-DO LIST:
Christmas Market
Bake Christmas Cookies
A Christmas Movie Night
Ice Skating
Go Shopping (Buy presents)
wrapping gifts
playing outside in the snow
burying Alex in the snow
"Definitely not!" Alex says.
"Definitely yes!" Amethyst says.
Having fun
"You think that's enough?" Steven asks.
"We can think of what to do once we did everything on the list," Garnet says.
"Almost everything...we do not to the thing with me burying in the snow," Alex says.
"What's wrong Alexi? Are you scared of being buried?" Amethyst teases her.
"I'm not scared but the thought of being buried in the snow and then getting sick is not a part of the to-do list," Alex says.
Pearl turns off the lights and turns on the garlands.
Everyone is looking at it grinning.
Lapis, Peridot and Jasper are amazed.
"You see I told you it would look amazing," Alex says to Lapis.
[Next day]
Alex is peacefully asleep in her bed until...
"Alex! Wake up!" Steven yells.
"What do you want Steven? We´ll go to the Christmas Market in the evening," Alex groans.
"I know but right now we´ll go outside and build a snowman!" Steven says.
Alex sighs. "Okay, let me get dressed," She says.
"Hooraaay!" Steven exclaims and runs out of Alex room.
Alex rolls her eyes amusingly and gets up.
After some time she walks down the stairs.
Alex is wearing an Attack On Titan Survey Corps Hoodie and black pants.
"Good Morning, Alex," Pearl greats her.
"There you are! Come on eat faster. So, that we can go outside and play in the snow," Peridot says excitedly.
"Morning mom. And good morning to you too, Peri," Alex says amusingly as she sits down and eats her breakfast.
"Hey, Alex! Are you ready to get buried in the snow?" Amethyst asks her excitedly.
"No amethyst. We are going outside to build a snowman and not burying me in the snow," Alex says frustrated.
"Argh! You´re no fun...Anyway, are you finished? We are only waiting for you," Amethyst says.
Alex rolls her eyes. "Okay! Okay! I´m coming...give me ten minutes," She says.
After ten minutes Alex walks outside.
"Finally! And I thought you fell asleep," Jasper says, she wears an orange coloured winter sweater and orange coloured winter pants.
"I never thought I would see you wearing a winter sweater," Alex says amusingly.
"Well, it is pretty cold outside even though it´s beautiful," Peridot says.
"Thank god we bought them sweaters when they moved in with us," Pearl says.
"It´s not that cold! I just like the sweater," Jasper says as she crosses her arms.
"Yeah, right," Alex says smirking at her before a snowball hits her face.
"WHOOH JACKPOT!" Amethyst exclaims laughing.
Alex looks at her annoyed as she whips off the snow from her face.
"Amethyst we are not here for the snowball fight. We are going to build a snowman," Garnet tells her.
"Ahh, man. Okay," Amethyst says.
"Maybe later," Garnet says amusingly.
"Garnet!" Alex exclaims annoyed.
"Let´s make a snowman building contest. The one who builds the best snowman wins!" Steven suggests.
"Okay, sounds fun," Alex agrees.
"Why not?" Garnet says.
"I´m in," Amethyst says excitedly.
"Alright, this does sound like fun," Pearl says.
"Yeah!" Peridot exclaims.
"Hah! Fine!" Jasper says smirking.
Lapis doesn´t respond.
Everyone looks at her.
"Lapis, are you in?" Steven asks her excitedly.
"I guess I am," Lapis shrugs.
"Okay, let´s divide the teams. What team should we do?" Steven asks.
"You Steven, Garnet, Mom and Amethyst are in one team. Me, Peri, Jasi and Lapis are in one Team," Alex says grinning.
"Yeah! So, it´s going to be Team Steven and the Crystal Gem Vs Alex...and..uh," Steven says.
"No, It´s going to be Team Crystal Gems Vs. Team Rebel Gems!" Alex says. "You know because we´re better,"
"You just wait we are going to win!" Steven exclaims.
"Keep dreaming, Stevie," Alex says smirking.
"So, how should our snowman look like?" Peridot asks Alex.
Alex takes a small glance at Team Crystal Gems and smirks slightly.
"Well,... what about-" Alex whispers Peridot, Jasper and Lapis her idea.
"Heh, not bad, runt," Jasper says smirking as she messes up Alex´s hair.
Alex grins. "Let´s go, Jasi," She says.
"Don´t call me Jasi!" Jasper says annoyed.
Team Crystal Gems and the Rebel Gems are both building their snowmen/women/gems
"Okay! Let´s see what both teams have built," Steven says.
"Who starts?" Jasper asks.
"Team Crystal Gems!" Steven exclaims.
"What? No, we should start!" Peridot exclaims excitedly.
"How about both teams show what they build?" Pearl says.
Both Teams show what they built and both teams start laughing.
Team Crystal Gem built themselves and Team Rebel Gems built also themselves.
"Well, it seems both teams won, huh," Alex says shaking her head.
"Honestly, I had so much time building these...snowmen that I forgot that we had a competition," Pearl says.
"I wouldn´t call them snowmen...I would call them snowgems," Steven says.
Alex looks closer at the Amethyst snowgem. "Hmm...Wait! Where´s Amethyst?" She asks suddenly.
"BOO!" Amethyst exclaims as she jumps out of the Amethyst snowgem and throws snow at Alex.
Alex jumps back startled and falls on her butt.
Amethyst, Peridot, Steven and Jasper burst out laughing.
"Amethyst!" Pearl exclaims.
Garnet and Lapis only chuckle slightly.
Alex glares slightly at Amethyst.
"You should have seen your face," Amethyst says laughing.
Alex gets up slowly still glaring at Amethyst.
"Amethyst...I think you should run," Garnet says grinning.
"Run? Why should I?" Amethyst asks her.
"Amethyst!" Alex exclaims.
"Oh! Aaah!" Amethyst yells and runs away from Alex.
Alex runs after her. "I´m going to bury you in the snow!" She yells.
[Time Skip]
At the Christmas Market (this is based off the Christmas Market from where I live...so, there might be some things in here that you won´t know)
Lapis, Jasper and Peridot have their mouths wide open.
"Oh, my stars...," Peridot breaths out in amazement.
"This is beautiful..." Lapis says smiling. "And this happens every...year before...Christmas?" She asks Alex.
"Yes, it´s a tradition," Alex says.
"Cotton Candy!" Steven and Amethyst exclaim as they run towards the stand.
"Sometimes...I´m not sure who´s the child here. Steven or Amethyst?" Alex says shaking her head.
"You have a worse sweet tooth then both of them, Alex. Even though you don´t want to admit it," Garnet says ruffling her hair.
"What´s cotton candy?" Jasper wonders as Amethyst and Steven returned back to the group.
They also bought cotton candy for Jasper.
Jasper tries the cotton candy and grins widely after this. (I made Jasper a foodie and I don´t regret it)
Peridot has fallen in love with cotton candy after Amethyst let her try it.
Steven goes and buys a cotton candy for Peridot.
Alex chuckles slightly as she walks towards the caramel/toffee apple stand. She buys five toffee apples. One for herself, one for Amy, one for Stevie, one for Peri and one for Jasi.
The Crystal Gems walk together through the Christmas Market. Amethyst and Jasper are eating themselves through the Market with the help form Peridot and Alex who are eating themselves through the candy stands. Pearl is looking at the different Christmas Ornaments together with Garnet and Lapis.
Alex is standing at a stand that sells wooden mobile phone cases. She is currently holding two cases in each hand deciding which to pick.
"Hey, Alex. What are you buying?" Lapis asks her as she stands next to her.
"Oh, I´m buying myself a phone case," Alex answers.
"Why?" Lapis asks her curiously.
"Well, normal people buying them so that the phone is safe... in case it falls down. Me, I buy them cause I like the cases themself," Alex says.
"By the way, Lapis. Can you help to pick one?" Alex asks her as she shows her two wooden phone cases. One with a wolf on the backside and the other with a tiger. "I like them both but I want to buy only one."
Lapis looks at them and picks the one with the wolf on it."This one," She says.
"The wolf, huh? Hmm, it does look cool and I like wolves slightly more than tigers...thanks," Alex says smiling.
"You´re welcome," Lapis says.
The Crystal Gems arrived back at the Beach house.
They bought many things (besides food and candy) Steven bought himself and his dad a tie, Pearl and Garnet bought themselves a Chrismas mug, Jasper and Amethyst bought themself food, candy and also Christmas mugs, Lapis bought herself a necklace with a green stone in it and Alex bought herself the wolf wooden phone case and a necklace with a blue delphine. They bought even more Christmas decorations, some Christmas mugs, Christmas cards and other things.
As soon as they arrived Alex fell into her bed and fell asleep immediately.
[The next day]
Alex wakes up earlier than usual and jumps out of her bed.
She puts on her favourite Christmas sweater (it is blue with stars and a Christmas tree) and red pants.
Alex walks quietly down the stairs to not awake Steven.
"Good Morning, Alex," Garnet greets her.
"Good Morning, Garnet," Alex greets her back.
"Oh, good morning Alex. Why are you awake so early?" Pearl asks her.
"Maybe, but I´m too excited so, I can´t sleep," Alex says sheepishly grinning.
"Excited?" Pearl asks her.
"Yes, we are going to bake Christmas Cookies today. And where is Lapis?... And the others?" Alex asks.
"Lapis and "the others" are outside," Garnet tells her with a small grin.
Alex blushes and rolls her eyes.
"If you plan to go outside I suggest you put on a winter jacket, a hat, a pair of winter shoes and winter gloves. OH! and a scarf. It is pretty cold outside and I don´t want you to get sick... again," Pearl says looking at Alex with serious eyes.
"Yes, mom," Alex says.
Alex puts on her Naruto Jacket, her BNHA scarf and cap, a pair of AOT gloves and a pair of NORMAL winter shoes.
"Seriously, you are way too much obsesses with your Cartoons," Pearl says shaking her head.
"First of all, it is called Anime and second it´s a healthy obsession," Alex says grinning.
"You are covered in your anime clothes!" Pearl exclaims.
"Like I said a healthy obsession," Alex says as she walks outside.
[Outside]
Alex sees that Amy and Jasi are having a snowball fight while Peri is making something out of snow. But she doesn´t see Lapis.
She walks towards Peridot. "Good Morning, Peridot. I see you enjoyed making a snowgems," Alex says.
"Salutations, Alex. Yes, it is fun and it is almost like Meep Morps," Peridot says grinning with stars in her eyes.
"Well, I´m glad you´re enjoying it. Have you seen Lapis?" Alex asks with a small blush.
"Yeah, she said she is going for a walk and walked towards the city," Peridot says.
"Thanks," Alex says smiling before a snowball hits her in the face.
She hears Amethyst and Jasper burst out laughing while Peridot snickers slightly.
Alex groans annoyingly as she whips off the snow of her face and walks towards the city.
[After some time Alex finally found Lapis. She´s staring at all the decoration from the other houses and the snowflakes falling down]
"Hey, Lapis. Whatcha doing?" Alex asks her as she walks towards her.
"Alex! I was looking at the decorations and the snow. It is really beautiful," Lapis says amazed.
"Yeah, it is," Alex says also staring at the decorations and snow.
"So, what are you doing here?" Lapis asks her.
Alex blushes slightly. "I...I wanted to go to the Big Donut to visit Sadie...and the salty Jerk but then I saw the decorations and kinda forgot...," She tells Lapis.
"Oh, yeah. This decoration makes you forget everything," Lapis says.
Alex nods. "So, do you wanna go back?" She asks her.
"What about Big Donut?" Lapis looks at her.
"Oh, yeah. Do you wanna come with me?" Alex asks her.
"Okay," Lapis shrugs.
They both walk towards Big Donut
"Hey, Sadie," Alex greets her as she and Lapis walk in.
"Hey, Alex and...Lapis," Sadie greets them.
"Hey," Lapis greets her.
"Hey, Salty jerk," Alex greets Lars with a smirk.
Lars simply rolls her eyes.
"So, Alex you wanna buy the new Christmas doughnuts?" Sadie asks her.
"Christmas doughnuts?" Alex asks her curiously.
"Yeah, that´s the special menu since its Christmas," Saide says.
"Actually, I came here just to see how you both doing. But I guess I´ll buy... let's say six Christmas doughnuts," Alex says and puts some money on the counter.
"Okay," Sadie takes the money while Lars gives Alex the doughnuts.
"Have you actually bought Christmas presents yet?" Alex asks them.
"No," Sadie asks and Lars shakes his head.
"Do you two wanna go with us? We are planning to go shopping on Friday," Alex suggests.
"If its okay with the rest of the gems...then yeah, we´ll go with you, right Lars?" Sadie and Alex look at Lars.
"Whatever, I have to buy some Christmas gifts anyway. But as long as you Alex promise me not to call Salty Jerk, at least while we´re in the puplic," Lars says.
"Okay, I won´t promise," Alex says grinning.
"Okay, buy you two," Alex says as she and Lapis make their way home.
[Back at Home]
"There you are! Where have you been?" Steven asks.
"We were at Big Donut...and brought you Christmas doughnuts," Alex says as she places the bags except one that belongs to her.
"Oh, man! Thanks, sis," Steven exclaims happily as he takes one doughnut.
"You were gone for a half-hour for doughnuts?" Pearl asks as she looks slightly disgusted at Amethyst who took a big bite off her doughnut.
"Well, we did get distracted by the snow and the decorations," Lapis says.
"I see," Pearl says as she and Garnet share a look.
"Come on, Alex. Eat your breakfast! Then we can start baking Christmas Cookies!" Steven says excitedly.
"Okay, okay," Alex says as she rolls her eyes and sits down next to Steven.
"Oh, and I invited Sadie and Lars to come with us shopping for presents," Alex says while she eats.
"That´s great! The more the better!" Steven exclaims. "And we can also ask Connie if she wants to go with us!"
"We can also ask her parents if they want to come with us," Garnet says.
"Yeah, we can ask them when we visit them tomorrow," Pearl says.
"What about your dad, Steven?" Alex asks him.
"Oh, I can ask him if he wants to come," Steven says.
"Great! But first, let´s bake," Alex says as she basically jumps out her chair to start baking.
[Time skip]
The whole Family of the Crystal Gems are happily baking together.
"Can we do a gingerbread house?" Steven asks.
"Of course we can, Steven," Pearl says.
"Don´t you think this is too much, Pearl? We already have three plates of cookies in different shapes," Lapis asks slightly amusingly.
"Well, we have Jasper and Amethyst who both can eat three plates on their own, then we have Alex, Steven and Peridot who also can eat at least one plates of cookies on their own. So, I think we need more," Garnet says amusingly.
"Amethyst!" Alex exclaims annoyed.
"Come on, Alexi. Just one?" Amethyst whines.
"No! Wait, until we´re finished baking. Or our cookies will not last until Christmas Eve," Alex says as she slaps Amethyst hands away.
"We can bake more," Amethyst says.
"I said no," Alex says and glares at Amethyst.
Jasper grabs one cookie form her plate. "Hey!" Alex exclaims.
"Stop being so grumpy, Alexi," Jasper teases her as she messes her hair.
"I´m not grumpy!" Alex says.
Amethyst also ables to steal one cookie from her plate.
"Hey, Amethyst!" Alex exclaims.
"Amethyst. Jasper. Stop messing with Alex," Garnet scolds them although she also has a smirk on her lips.
"Heh, I haven´t even started, yet. But fine," Jasper says rolling her eyes.
"Fine. By the way, Alex." Amethyst says with a small smirk.
"What do you want, Amy?" Alex asks.
"I think you forgot to tell Jasi, Peri and your Girlfriend about the mistletoe," Amethyst says smirking.
"N-No I haven´t, I just don´t think that this "tradition" is important...and I don´t have a girlfriend!" Alex says blushing.
"Mistletoe?" Lapis asks curiously.
"Yes, sometimes people hanging the Mistletoes around their house and if you and another person stand under it, then you have to kiss that person," Garnet says with a small grin.
"I bet, you would be happy finding yourself and Lapis standing under a Mistletoe, am I right? Alexi?" Amethyst teases Alex quietly.
Alex blushes and throws a bit of flour at Amethyst.
"Hey!" Amethyst exclaims.
"Stop making fun of me, Amy!" Alex says as she throws another hand full of flour at Amethyst.
"Okay, you´re on!" Amethyst exclaims as she throws a hand of flour at Alex, back,"
"No! You two stop! There will be no food fighting in here! If you want to throw something at each other...then go outside and play in the snow. But only after you two cleaned up this mess," Pearl scolds both of them.
"Yes, mom," Alex says while Amethyst rolls her eyes.
"Yes, mom. I´ll do everything you say, cause I´m a mommy girl. When I grow up I also wanna have a bird nose like you, mom!" Amethyst mocks Alex.
Alex glares slightly at Amethyst as she cleans up the mess they both have caused.
Amethyst laughs at Alex. "Ahh, come on, Alexi. Lighten up a bit, I´m just messing with you," She says.
Alex rolls her eyes playfully with a small smile.
"But about the Mistletoe you know that I´m right," Amethyst says smirking.
Alex blushes but doesn´t hide her smile.
[Time Skip]
"Okay! We´ve been baking almost the whole day. Now we have two gingerbread houses and...twelve plates of cookies. I think we´ve done a great job and now it´s time for...Christmas Movie Night!" Steven says.
"So, what movies are we going to watch?" Alex asks him.
"Well, I picked out four movies that we´re going to watch," Steven says.
"Home Alone,"
"Yes!" Amethyst exclaims.
"The Nightmare Before Christmas,"
"The Grinch,"
"And Alex´s favourite Mickey´s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mousel ('This is by far my favourite Christmas Movie...mostly because they are showing the Disney adaptation of A Christmas Carol')
"Yes!" Alex exclaims grinning. "We gonna watch this one first!"
"Nope, we are going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas first," Steven says.
"What? Why?" Alex asks him.
"Because each time you watch the Mickey´s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mousel movie you just stop watching the rest of the movies," Steven says.
"Fine," Alex says.
[Time Skip]
Alex grins widely as she watches the end of her favourite Christmas Movie.
She looks at the others and realizes that nearly all of them have fallen asleep.
Only Alex, Pearl and Garnet have watched the movie until the end.
Alex blushes slightly as she notices that Lapis is sleeping on her left shoulder.
Steven sleeps on her right shoulder.
Alex feels a hand patting her head and she looks at Garnet.
Both Garnet and Pearl smile at her.
Alex smiles back at them before she also falls asleep.
[The next day]
"Alex..wake up," Pearl shakes Alex gently.
Alex opens her eyes slowly.
"Hmm, what is it, mom?" Alex asks her.
"It´s time to wake up. We planned to go ice skating today and then we all going shopping for presents,," Pearl says.
"So?" Alex asks.
"You don´t wanna sleep the whole day, do you? We´ve already let you sleep longer than usual since you were awake almost the whole night," Pearl says.
"Wait, how come Amethyst and Steven let me sleep that long?" Alex wonders as she gets up.
"Well, Garnet told them so. She took Amethyst, Steven, Jasper and Peridot outside to not disturb you and Lapis," Pearl tells her.
"W-what do you mean...me and Lapis?" Alex asks.
"You both were cuddled up the whole night," Pearl says.
Alex blushes hard. "Really?" She whines.
"Yeah, you both looked cute," Pearl says.
"Argh, I bet Amethyst...and Jasper, I guess will both tease me about it," Alex whines.
"Don´t worry they won´t. Garnet and I made them promise that" Pearl tells her as she messes with Alexs hair.
"Come on, make yourself ready. Oh, and please wear something else than your "Anime" clothes, okay? It´s going to be very cold and your "anime" clothes aren´t warm enough," Pearl tells her.
"You make it sound like I don´t wear anything else besides my Anime clothes," Alex says with a grin.
"Well, you do wear your "Anime" clothes almost every day. I mean your cupboard is mostly filled with your "Anime" clothes. You are way too obsesses with this cartoons of yours," Pearl says.
"Okay, Okay. I´ll wear something different. Besides, it will be cold when we´re going to ice skating. And I don´t have that many "Anime" winter clothes that keep me warm," Alex says.
[Time Skip]
"So, Connie you and your parents are going to join us on our shopping for presents adventure today, right?" Alex asks her grinning as they were all putting on ice skating shoes.
"Yes," Connie nods.
"So, you, your parents me, Steven, Mom, Garnet, Amy, Peri, Jasper, Lapis, Sadie and...Lars, we all are going together to buy presents? Heh, I hope we won´t scare the people when we arrive there with our big group," Alex says.
"What about Stevens dad?" Connie asks her.
"Oh, right. Steven, will your dad come with us?" Alex asks him.
"Hmm, yes he will." Steven answers.
"Great. So, what about Christmas Eve is he going to celebrate with us?" Alex wonders.
"Yep!" Steven answers. "Oh, by the way, Connie do you and your parents want to celebrate Christmas Eve with us?" He asks Connie.
"I don´t...I could ask them later," Connie says.
"Okay, now stop talking and let's start ice skating," Alex says with an excited grin.
Steven, Alex, Connie, Connie's parents, Garnet and Pearl are skating on the ice without any problems.
The moment Jasper steps on the ice she falls down.
Alex laughs at her.
"What´s wrong Jasi? You know, you have to use your feet to skate on ice and not your face," Alex says grinning.
"Very funny, wait until I catch you," Jasper says as she tries to get up only to fall again.
"If you going to keep on falling then you´ll never catch me," Alex teases her.
Alex notices that Amethyst and Peridot also have difficulty standing on the ice.
They keep on falling.
"Amethyst, I thought you said that you know how to ice skate now?" Alex asks her.
"I do!... It´s the ice, not me," Amethyst exclaims.
"Of course," Alex says laughing.
"How do you do that, Alex?" Peridot asks her as she tries to get up again.
"Honestly, I don´t know. But maybe it´ll help you if you try to stand as you would stand on a normal floor," Alex says.
"I got it! Ha, now I´m going to catch you, runt! And bury you in the ice," Jasper exclaims and she´s about to go after Alex but falls again.
Alex chuckles slightly. She notices that Lapis hasn´t stepped on the ice yet.
Alex skates towards her. "Hey, what´s wrong, Lapis? Why don´t you step on the ice?" She asks her.
"I don´t know how to skate. What if I fall down?" Lapis asks her slightly worried.
"Then you get up and try again," Alex tells her.
Lapis still looks slightly scared at the ice. "What if the ice breaks?" Lapis asks her.
"Hey! If this ice can hold a falling Jasper then it will hold you too," Alex says.
"I heard that, runt!" Jasper exclaims.
Alex chuckles slightly before she holds a hand out for Lapis. "Come one, let me help you!" She says
Lapis looks hesitantly at Alex´s hand.
"Come one, I won´t let you fall, Lapis," Alex says smiling at her.
Lapis takes Alexs hand and lets Alex guide her onto the ice slowly.
Lapis almost slips and falls but Alex catches her and holds her both hands.
"Thank you," Lapis says.
"You´re welcome," Alex says, "Now, don´t look at the ice. Look at me and just try to walk normally as you would walk on a street," She tells Lapis.
Lapis nods and looks at Alex.
[Time skip]
Alex continues to teach Lapis how to skate.
At one moment she let go of Lapis and let her skate on her own.
"You see you got it!" Alex says.
"Yes, it´s easier than I thought," Lapis says happily. "Thank you, Alex,"
"You´re welcome," Alex says with a small blush before she gets tackled down by Amethyst and Jasper.
"Now, what did you said earlier, you runt?" Jasper says smirking.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Jasi!" Alex says grinning.
"Really? Well, then you won´t mind if we...," Amethyst puts snow on Alex's head, "burry you in the snow, right?" She asks Alex.
Alex gulps slightly.
But before Jasper and Amethyst could start burying Alex they were stopped by Garnet.
"Hey! No, burying Alex! It´s not Christmas Eve yet," Garnet says.
"Aww, man!" Amethyst whines.
"Fine," Jasper says as she rolls her eyes, "You´re lucky, runt,"
"Thanks, Garnet," Alex says as Garnet helps her get up.
"I think it´s time for us to take a break. Connie, Steven, Alex and Connie´s parents can warm up a bit before we go shopping for presents," Pearl says.
Everyone nods and gets down from the ice.
[Time skip]
After Steven, Connie, her parents and Alexs warmed up a bit they all went to the mall.
They met Sadie, Lars and Greg there.
They decided to go in small groups.
Group 1: Steven, Connie, Sadie, Lars and Connies Parents
Group 2: Greg, Jasper, Amethyst and Lapis
Group 3: Alex, Peridot, Pearl and Garnet
Alex walks around the mall looking at the different products while thinking about what she should get for everyone.
She goes to buy something for Steven, Connie and Peridot first since they are the easiest.
Alex buys for Steven a new Video Game "Kingdom Hearts Birth before sleep". He really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts 2 as we were playing it together. So, he should be enjoying this as well," she thinks.
Then Alex goes into a Book Shop to find a gift for Connie it was easy to find a gift for her. So, Alex buys her the Lord of the Rings Book collection. She´ll love it. I know that she enjoyed the Movies. And the books are even better," Alex thinks.
Alex goes to the electronics shop to find something for Peridot. And she buys her a tablet.
After some times she found gifts for Sadie, Lars, Connies Parents and Greg. Now she only needs to find a gift for Jasper, Amethyst, Pearl, Garnet and Lapis
Alex finds on dark orange coloured Sweater with "Cheeto Puff" written on it. She chuckles slightly and decides to buy it.
She finds a shirt for Garnet which says "Best mom". She buys the same on for Pearl but in another colour. Alex also buys a mug that says I Love you, mom.
She buys Amethyst a purple shirt that says "I´m may not be perfect but I´m Limited Edition" (I didn´t know what to give her. If anyone of you has a better idea, please give me your suggestions)
Alex also buys for every member of the Crystal Gems a necklace.
One necklace with a pink coloured Lion cub for Steven, another one with a brown coloured Raven for Connie, one Orange coloured Tiger for Jasper, one necklace with green coloured Kitten for Peridot, one white coloured bird...I mean Lioness, a necklace with a red and blue coloured Dragon and one necklace with a purple coloured puma.
Only Lapis is left and that´s the problem. Alex doesn´t know what to buy for her.
After she walks through the whole mall she still doesn't know what to buy for Lapis.
"Are you okay, Alex?" Garnet asks her.
"Hmm? Yeah, it´s just that I can´t find a gift for Lapis," Alex says.
"Do you know what she likes?" Garnet asks.
"She likes...Camp Pining Hearts, Steven..., Meep Morps...Hmm, what else? Oh! I know, a snow globe! She does like snow and the past few days she watched it snow for a very long time," Alex says excitedly as she takes a snow globe.
"Garnet?" Alex asks her.
"Hmm?" Garnet looks at her curiously.
"D-Do you think...Lapis likes the colour green? I-I wanna buy necklaces for everyone and so far I choose colours that match their gems. But...I think the colour green looks better on her. What do you think?" Alex asks her.
Garnet smiles slightly. "I´m sure that Lapis will be happy with whatever you give her," She says.
"Hmm...Okay, I hope you´re right. Who am I kidding? You´re always right," Alex says.
Garnet messes Alexs hair.
After a few hours, everyone has bought presents and was ready to return back home. The Crystal Gems said goodbye to Sadie, Lars, Connie, her parents and Greg, and they all went home. Wrapping the present that they bought for each other.
[Time skip]
Finally...it´s Christmas Eve. Greg, Connie and her parents all celebrate Christmas together with the Crystal Gems. After they all had dinner and were playing games.
Now they all sit around the Christmas tree and are opening their presents.
So, far everyone enjoyed Alexs presents.
"Wow! Thank you, Alex!" Steven and Connie exclaim as they both hug Alex.
"Oh, my stars!" Peridot exclaims as she opens her present and she also hugs Alex with stars in her eyes.
Alex notices that Pearl is almost tearing up as she looks happily at her gift and even though Alex couldn´t see through Garnets visors she knows that Garnet was also tearing up.
They both hug Alex gently.
Jasper laughs at her gift and messes up Alexs hair.
Alex laughs slightly before she looks over at Lapis.
She notices that Lapis looks happy at her gift.
Alex walks over to her. "Try to shake it," she tells her.
Lapis looks at her and then shakes her snow globe. She gasps slightly as she sees the "snow" falling down.
"I noticed that you enjoy watching the snow when it falls down. So, I thought you would like it," Alex says smiling.
"I do like it. Thank you, Alex!" Lapis says and hugs Alex.
Alex blushes slightly but hugs her back chuckling. "You´re welcome,"
"Oh! And I also have something for you. I know that it´s you who gave me this necklace, and I also have one for you," Lapis says as she gives Alexs her gift.
Alex takes it and opens it. Inside lies a necklace with a blue coloured wolf.
She smiles softly and puts it on. Alex blushes as she notices Lapis necklace with a green Fairy/ Angle.
Suddenly they both hear the others chuckle slightly.
"What?" Alex asks her them as she looks at them confused.
"Look above you," Amethyst says smirking.
Alex and Lapis both lookup. They both blush as they see Jasper holding a mistletoe above their heads.
"It´s an mistletoe. And you both know it means," Jasper says smirking.
Lapis and Alex look at each other with a blush. Both are hesitating to do anything.
Alex looks down at her feet while she bites the inside of her cheek.
Lapis puts a hand on her shoulder and gives Alex a quick pick on her lips.
While the others are cheering except for Pearl, Garnet and Connies Parents who are just simply smiling at them.
Both Alex and Lapis look at each other smiling and blushing at the same time.
"I think...now this tradition with the mistletoe is Alexs favourite one, and I think she likes Christmas more than Valentines Day," Amethyst says grinning.
Alex looks at her feet flustrate but grinning at the same time.
"Okay, now...let´s go an make a snowball fight!" Steven yells happily.
"Yes! Team Crystal Gems vs Team Rebel Gems!" Peridot cheers.
Both Team Crystal Gems and Team Rebel Gems are making a snowball fight while Greg and Connie´s Parents are watching amusingly.
Steven, Connie and Pearl take out Lapis and Peridot while Garnet takes out Jasper. Now only Alex is left.
Alex looks around and realizes that she´s surrounded. She quickly throws a snowball at Steven while she dodges a snowball from Amethyst.
She slowly backs up. She avoids and dodges almost every snowball that´s thrown at her. Except for Garnets giant snowball.
It knocks her off. Alex laughs loudly as she lies there on the snowy floor.
"Ts Ts, Alex. I told you that we´re going to bury you this year, again," Amethyst says as she´s rolling the snowball in her hands.
"Maybe, but I was willing to loose the bet...so, that Team Rebel Gems could win," Alex says grinning.
"Huh?" Amethyst looks at her confused.
"Now!" Alex exclaims.
Jasper, Lapis and Peridot jump out of their hiding and take out Steven first.
Then, Lapis takes Peridot by her hands and flies up in the sky, Peridot is throwing snowballs at Pear and Connie while Jasper is keeping Garnet busy.
Amethyst is about to go and help the other but Alex tackles her into the snow.
Peridot takes out Connie with a perfect hit.
Lapis lets go of Connie and fly up to Pearl while she´s flying towards her she takes two snowballs in each hand.
Pearl is ready to deflect it but she´s hit by Peridot, Lapis job was only to distract Pearl.
Now Peridot, Lapis and Jasper are trying to take out Garnet while Amethyst and Alex are rolling around the snow.
Both of them are trying to "bury" the other in the snow.
Alex pushes more snow in Amethyst face. "Okay, Okay. I give up!" Amethyst says out of breath.
Jasper, Lapis and Peridot are able to take out Garnet.
"Heh, I guess I did win this time," Alex says chuckling, "I told you so,"
"You´re not gonna win the next time, Al," Amethyst says grinning.
Team Rebel Gem help Alex get up.
"Alex! We won!" Peridot exclaims.
"Yep! We defeated team Crystal Gems! Good job Team!" Alex says.
"Heh, I have to admit I like being in a Team with you, runt," Jasper says smirking.
"Me too, Jas, me too," Alex says and sneezes.
"Are you okay,?" Lapis asks her.
"Well, the good news is we won! And the bad news is...I´ll be probably sick tomorrow. But I risked my health for my team and we won," Alex says.
[The next day]
Alex sneezes loudly. She lies on the couch with a blanket and tons of tissues.
"I told you to wear warm clothes. But you decided to wear your Anime clothes. If you insist on wearing them...then would you at least buy yourself some warm Anime clothes!" Pearl scolds her slightly.
"It was worth it!" Alex says with a grin.
[The End...or is it?]
