Chapter 25: Christmas for the Remnans

McFoley Residence

December 24, 2019

Winter break has already started for the high schoolers. Everyone was relaxing and doing their own thing. Yang, Blake, and Ricky were watching a show called Rick and Morty, and Yang was laughing up a storm.

"This is the best show I've ever watched," Yang laughed.

"Yeah I know," Ricky laughed along.

"Does he have to be drunk?" Blake complained.

"Yes. Yes, he does," Ricky answered with a smile.

Nora, Jaune, Allen, and Kelly were on the other TV playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto V.

"So how does this work again?" Jaune asked.

"You drive and steal cars, rob banks, kill people, and... wait Nora how did you get five stars already?!" Allen asked in shock.

Nora was cackling as she was being chased by several police cars and helicopters.

"Well, Nora is Nora. She can do pretty crazy things," Kelly said.

Jacob, Pyrrha, Ruby, Weiss, and Ren were playing a board game called Monopoly and Weiss was winning every game.

"Darn it!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Everytime!" Jacob shouted.

"How does she keep winning," Pyrrha asked in shock.

"Well, her father is a businessman, so it's most likely she would know about business better than the rest of us," Ren said.

"Okay, so all in favor of playing a different game say I," Jacob said.

"I," Ruby, Ren, and Pyrrha said in unison while raising their right hand.

"Hmph," Weiss huffed.

"Anyway before I do anything else, the guys and I got some christmas presents for you guys for you guys," Jacob said.

"Presents!" Ruby exclaimed.

"You shouldn't have," Pyrrha said.

"Hey, you guys are our friends. Plus it's Christmas Eve," Jacob said.

"Thanks, Jacob," Weiss said.

"You're welcome," he said.

"So when do we get the presents?" Ruby asked.

"Tonight is when you'll get 'em. So you'll have to be patient," Jacob said with a grin.

Ruby pouts in response.

"Until then watch some movies and Christmas specials while we're out we laid out for you guys," Kelly said.

"Okay," Ruby said.

"We'll see you later tonight," Allen said as he and Jacob, Ricky and Kelly walk out the door.

"So what do they have for us to watch?" Yang asked.

"Let's see, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Die Hard, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Krampus," Weiss listed down.

"Wait, what's this one?" Yang asked, grabbing a case.

"Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa?" Pyrrha read the title.

"Hey a note. Do not watch this crap," Weiss read aloud.

"Why? How bad can it be?" Jaune asked.

"Let's look and see," Nora said.

An hour later after watching this, RWBY and JNPR were all horribly disgusted by what they just watched.

"How horrible!" Ruby shouted.

"What. The heck. Was that?" Ren asked.

"Who made this piece of crap?!" Yang asked.

"The animation was terrible," Nora groaned.

"There was little to no plot," Blake said.

"These jokes in this special make Yang's puns look like comedy," Weiss said.

"That kid who happens to be called Ricky, speaks in rap throughout the special. I wonder if our Ricky was ashamed of being called by his nickname after watching this," Yang said.

"And the way that great-grandmother spoke. This can't be real," Jaune said.

"Makes you wonder if those famous stars got blackmailed into being into this piece of garbage," Pyrrha said.

"I think this is supposed to be something to show to your kids when punishing them," Nora said.

All in favor of never speaking of these again and watching something else say 'I,'" Ruby said.

"I," everyone immediately said in unison.

"Thank you," Ruby sighed in relief.

"Let's see. How about we watch It's a Wonderful Life?" Weiss said.

A few hours later at night, RWBY and JNPR were all gathered in the upstairs living room as they waited for Jacob and his friends to show up.

"What's taking so long?" Ruby whined.

"Calm it down sis. I'm sure they are getting them as we speak," Yang said.

"What do you think they got us Ren? I bet it's gonna be great. Do ya think so Ren? Do ya? Do ya?" Nora asked in a hyper tone.

"Nora, whatever they got us, I'm sure they are going to be great," Ren said.

"Ho-Ho-Ho, bitches," a voice rang out.

Everyone turned to see Jacob, Ricky, Allen, and Kelly all wearing Santa hats and a bag of presents. And next to them was Trisha in a Santa vest.

"From all of us, Britney and the others, we got good shit for you guys," Ricky said.

"Britney and the others said that they couldn't be here because they are with their families right now," Allen said.

"It's alright. I'm sure it's important to them," Pyrrha said.

"Alrighty then. Who's up first?" Kelly said.

"Me first!" Ruby said with excitement.

A few minutes passed and RWBY and JNPR were happy with what they had received. Ruby received some books on Earth's weaponry, a bakery cookbook, a Ruby plush doll, and a plush doll of Ruby's pet corgi, Zwei.

Weiss received a CD player, two packets of batteries each carrying eighty batteries for the CD player, a CD collection filled with classical music, a Weiss plush doll, and a monopoly board game.

Blake received a book titled The Diary of a Young Girl written by Anne Frank, a few biographies of the Civil Rights Movement, a Blake plush doll, and a tea set.

Yang received a few joke books, a pair of boxing gloves, some hair care products, a Yang plush doll, and a few fitness books.

Jaune received a book titled The Art of War, a box of condoms much to his annoyance, a few Marvel comic books, and a biography on Joan of Arc.

Pyrrha received a few books on Greek mythology, a pack of birth control pills much to her embarrassment, and some lingerie for nights with Jaune making her blush.

Ren received some cookbooks which some of them were written by Gordon Ramsay, some packs of tea, and some books on chinese culture.

Nora received a sloth plush doll, some pancake mix, a t-shirt with an image of Chibi Nora, and an electric hand buzzer.

"Thanks, you guys. The gifts are great," Ruby said.

"Yeah, they're amazing," Yang said.

"Look Ren. Look at my sloth," Nora said holding out her sloth doll.

"That's great, Nora," Ren said.

"We're glad you all like them," Allen said.

"I'll admit, the gifts you got for us are very thoughtful," Weiss said.

"You're welcome, Weiss," Ricky said.

"But we don't have anything for you," Blake said.

"You don't have to give us anything in return," Jacob said.

"But we feel like we should," Pyrrha said.

"Whatever it takes, I promise we'll get you something in return," Ruby said.

"As long as it's legal," Jacob jokingly said.

"Anyway, Ricky, Allen, and I are gonna head home. We'll see you all in a couple of days," he said.

"Okay, bye," Kelly said.

Jacob, Allen, and Ricky all walked down the stairs then out the front door.

"Oh, Ren," Nora called to Ren.

Ren turned around to see Nora hold something over the both of them.

"Oh, boy. The mistletoe," Kelly snickered.

"What's that for," Ren asked.

"It's a Christmas tradition. If two people are underneath a mistletoe, they have to lock lips," Kelly explained, trying not to laugh.

Before Ren could say something, Nora grabbed Ren and started kissing him. Ren was shocked, but slowly gave in and kissed Nora in return.

"Nora could I borrow that?" Jaune asked.

While still locking lips with Ren, Nora hands Jaune the mistletoe. Jaune then holds it over between himself and Pyrrha.

"Uh, you don't have to do it if you want," Jaune said in a nervous tone.

Without hesitation, Pyrrha grabs Jaune and starts kissing him as he does so in return. Kelly pulled out her phone and took a picture of JNPR all making out while Trisha happily barked. Ruby and Yang cheered for the four while Blake remained neutral and Weiss was happy that Jaune would most likely stop asking her out now.

"Merry Christmas everyone," Kelly said.

Trisha barked in response, earning her some scratches on her head.
