Sorry I haven't updated for a bit. I couldn't think of where I wanted to go with this and even as I'm writing it I'll just write as the ideas come to me. I apologize for the bad grammar mistakes in the last chapter, I don't have a betta reader or anything and I'm bad at remembering to proof-read what I write (ooops!). I'll try to make it better cuz I hate it when other authors don't bother to fix simple mistakes like that. If you guys have any ideas for where to take this story I'm open to suggestions. By the way, if you guys are confused as to what the heck this chapter is that means that you didn't read the second chapter after I added more (fixed it really) and you should go back and re-read it, see the author's note for chapter 2. Thank you to my reviewers! This is for you after all :).

It had been a month since Mac and Kaori 'officially' became a couple. The tour was starting to get under way and the new boarders were pretty comfortable with everyone by now. Zack was enthusiastic that the ratings were going to soar this season and was zealously encouraging the boarders to 'give it their all'.

One evening while Mac and Kaori were sitting in the hotel's kitchen enjoying a midnight snack of "death-by-chocolate" ice cream, Kaori was struck with a sudden idea.

"Hey Mac?" she said after Mac had swallowed his latest bite of the frozen treat.

"Hmm?"

"I was thinking, since Christmas is a couple weeks away, we should do something special." Mac looked at her curiously.

"Such as?"

"I dunno, maybe have a big dance..." she paused to take another bite from her and Mac's shared bowl. "or give each other presents, or something." Mac licked his lips.

"Sounds cool. You should ask Zack." Kaori grinned.

"You'd back me up?" Mac gave her a 'duh' look.

"Am I your boyfriend?" he stated rhetorically. Kaori leaned over and kissed him.

"Yep."

Mac smiled and kissed her again pulling her stool closer to him. Kaori smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. They were interrupted by an exaggerated clearing of a throat from the kitchen doorway.

They broke apart and looked at the person now giving them a mocking smile.

"Shouldn't you kiddies be in bed?" The bane of Kaori's existence asked patronizingly.

Mac snorted, "We could say the same for you." Psymon gave him a death stare.

"Watch it." He strolled into the kitchen and began rummaging in the fridge for who-knows-what. Kaori sighed.

"Maybe we should go." she whispered to her boyfriend. Mac shook his head.

"We were here first." Mac took a bite of their now almost completely melted ice cream. Kaori did the same while watching her enemy warily.

"Where did you get that ice cream!" he asked rudely a minute later.

"In the freezer." Kaori told him as if she were talking to a three-year-old.

"Though it won't do you any good," Mac chuckled, "this is the last of it." He gestured to his and Kaori's bowl. Psymon growled.

"You know, I bought that ice cream for me. And ME only!" Mac shrugged indifferently.

"Too bad." Psymon gave them his worst icy glare. He looked as if he wanted to bash Mac's head in, but luckily at that point Zack walked in.

"What is this? Party in the kitchen?" he asked. Out of character he was wearing a large T-shirt and polka-dot boxers. Psymon snorted at the suggestion and his supervisor's nighttime attire.

Zack gave him a stern look, that said "You're hardly better". For Psymon was wearing just a pair of black and blue striped boxers. (Can you tell I like Psymon in boxers?)

"We were just having a snack." Kaori told Zack.

"Uh huh, and I was born to a baby dragon last full moon."

"Yeah, they were having a make-out session." Psymon added his thoughts.

Zack shook his head.

"Just don't stay up too late." he told them and started towards the door.

"Hey Zack!" Kaori called to him. He stopped and turned around questioningly.

"I was thinking we should do something for Christmas, like have a dance or something." Kaori told him her idea. Zack pondered for a moment.

"I'll think about it." He answered and gave her a wink. Then he left.

Psymon walked over to where Mac and Kaori were sitting at the bar counter.

"A dance? Have you joined my world? I think her pigtails are too tight." He added the last part to Mac. Mac gave him an evil look.

"Why don't you leave now sketchy?" It wasn't a question.

Psymon chuckled evilly.

"Sure." He reached out to pat Kaori on the head and she squealed and leapt off the stool backwards into the counter. Psymon laughed like a bad guy in the movies and swiftly exited the kitchen.

Kaori slid off the counter and rubbed her back where she had smacked it on the counter dodging the psycho's touch. Mac looked at her sympathetically.

"Zack will probably say yes, since you suck up to him." Kaori gave him a mock hurt look.

"I do not. I'm just nice, that's all." Mac gave her a 'look'. "Oh, okay so I do sometimes, it's helpful." Mac chuckled. He took her in his arms and said, "Where were we?" Kaori smiled and obliged him with a small kiss.

"I should go to bed." she said.

"Can I tuck you in?" Mac wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Kaori blushed.

"Not tonight." Mac got a hopeful look.

"Then in the future?" Kaori laughed.

"Mac!" she scolded and gave him another kiss. "Goodnight." she said and walked towards the door.

"Night." Mac called after her as she disappeared around the corner.
