Chapter 19: Christmas Time

Agent BM: Thx

December 1st

Once Thanksgiving was over, people began getting ready for the big holiday, Christmas. Commercials for toys, appliances, and stores were aired on TV, stores put out gift wrap, bows, Christmas trees, ornaments, and other things.

Honey could feel the Christmas spirit as she walked down the street with her bees.

"Brr, it's certainly colder here than it ever got in California." said Buzz, as he and his friends shivered.

"Come on guys, you better get in my purse." Honey told them.

She opened her purse, and the three flew inside. As Honey walked she looked at the stores, many of them were being decorated for the holiday. They had garland, pictures of snowflakes and snowmen, mini Christmas trees, and lights.

"Hmm, maybe I should decorate my store too." she thought out loud.

"That's a good idea." Bumble told her.

"Yeah, and I'd also like to decorate the condo." "

Then we better get some good decorations." Stinger replied.

So Honey didn't waste anytime, and quickly caught a bus to the city.

At the store, Honey got a shopping cart, and began her shopping. She got the usual things needed for decorating, and she also watched some kids browsing the toy aisle. She smiled when they told their parents what kinds of toys they wanted for Christmas.

"(Chuckles) kids."

"By the way, Honey. What are you gonna get Zeke for Christmas?" wondered Buzz.

"I have no idea." Honey admitted.

"Well perhaps you could ask him what he'd like." Bumble suggested.

"I can't do that. I want to surprise him. He's my first boyfriend to last this long." Honey replied.

"Well your decision." Stinger told her.

After Honey bought her decorations, she took the bus home, and got ready to decorate. She put up a mini Christmas tree, hung up some lights, and put a wreath on her door.

"Now it's starting to look like Christmas in here." observed Buzz.

"It sure is." Honey agreed.

December 11st

As the days went by the spirit of Christmas was spreading all over town. Everyone was in a good mood and friendly. It even started snowing a while ago, and it was still coming. Honey was currently at work with her store decorated with holly, garland, and snowflakes.

She even had Christmas songs playing on a small boombox. Then the bell rang, alerting her of customers.

"Welcome to Honey's Hive." she greeted.

It was Vanellope who had come to pick up some honey cookies.

"Hey, Honey would you be interested in coming to a Christmas Party?" Vanellope asked her, handing her an invitation.

"A Christmas party, sounds really nice." Honey replied, taking it.

"Great, can't wait to see you there." said Vanellope.

She paid her, and then left. When it was closing time, Zeke came to pick Honey up.

"Thanks for the lift home, Zeke." Honey told him.

"It's no problem. And I was thinking I could take you out Friday night." Zeke replied.

"Sounds nice, what are we gonna do?"

"It's a surprise."

Honey smiled at hearing that, and the bees looked at each other happily.

When Friday evening came around, Honey was ready for her date with Zeke.

"I'll be back in a couple hours guys." Honey told her bees.

"You go and have fun, we'll be fine here." Buzz assured her.

When Honey heard a car honk, she put on her coat, and went to the door.

"Bye guys."

"Have fun." called Bumble.

"See you later." added Stinger.

Honey went down stairs, and got into Zeke's car. They drove into the city, and Zeke parked in the parking lot of the city park. As they got out of the car, and walked in, Honey saw that it was filled with all kinds of lights.

"Wow." Honey gasped.

"Shall we?" Zeke asked her, holding his arm out.

Honey took it.

"We shall." she declared.

Through the brisk evening air, the two walked through the park. The lights were beautiful, with pictures of candy canes, elves, presents, and Santa Claus. And Christmas songs played in the background. When Honey shivered from the cold, Zeke held her close.

When they finished their walk in the park, they went to a little cafe for hot chocolate.

"This is really nice, Zeke." Honey told him, as she took a sip of her drink.

"Glad you're enjoying yourself. Christmas is always a nice time." Zeke replied.

As they were walking back to the car, they past by a video game store. Honey noticed that Zeke seemed to be looking at the games being displayed.

"You like video games?" she asked him.

"Oh yeah, after I got out of the Marines, I found them as a form of relief." Zeke told her.

That gave Honey an idea for a present for him.

December 24th Christmas Eve

Everyone was at the Fluggerbutter's house for the Christmas party. And a great party it was; music played in the background, the decorations looked beautiful, everyone was wearing nice clothes in Christmas colors, and good food was served.

Honey, who was wearing a nice yellow dress and black shoes, was getting a drink of punch.

"Hi, Honey." said a voice.

Honey looked at saw Candlehead coming over wearing a green and pink dress.

"Hey Candlehead, Merry Christmas."

"Thanks, don't you think it smells nice in here?"

"Yeah like gingerbread and pine trees."

"That's courtesy of my candles."

"Nice."

The rest of the night consisted talking, dancing, pictures, and even mistletoe kissing. When the party ended, Zeke drove Honey and her bees home, and they decided they'd get together at his house tomorrow.

December 25th Christmas Day

The next morning Honey woke up, in a good mood, and went to go make herself a cup of coffee, and make a little breakfast. As she coffee brewed and her bread was in the toaster, she thought back to Christmas in her younger years.

Bursting into her parents room, waking them up, and they'd all go downstairs and open presents. Then at night they'd all join together and eat Christmas dinner. Then she was snapped out of her thoughts by her toast popping up.

"Merry Christmas, Honey." greeted her bees, as they flew into the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas guys." Honey told them.

Honey had her breakfast of toast, bacon, and coffee, while her bees had some honey. Once they were finished, Honey pulled out the present she bought for Zeke, and she heard his car horn honked.

"Come on guys."

The bees flew into her purse, and she left the condo. The two kissed, and they drove back to his place.

There they watched some Christmas movies, and snacked on some Christmas cookies. Then Zeke excused himself, and Honey pulled out Zeke's present. When Zeke returned, he had a present in his hands.

"I got you this, Zeke. Merry Christmas." she told him.

"Thanks." said Zeke, taking the gift.

"And I got this for you."

He handed her the gift. The two opened their presents, and got surprised looks on their faces. Zeke got Resident Evil 7. And Honey received a beautiful pearl necklace.

"Honey this is the game I've always wanted."

"And this necklace is beautiful."

The two hugged and kissed each other. This was a first nice Christmas they'd both had in a long time.
