Christmas Frenzy
Chapter 3
A/N I dunno if I should continue this fic afterwards… because I'm running out of ideas!!! Sorry if this chapter will be about… well it's just a petty conversation between all of them!! ^ ^
The dinner table was all set, four sets of meal were prepared. Although the meal was not that big, everyone was pleased to have dinner with the most special persons in each of their lives… (well we can't say everyone for that matter co'z we don't know what the 'other half'is thinking, I'm talking about knives.)
Vash took a fast glance at his brother walking beside him to the dinning table. He walked past him, so he could seat in front of Meryl. Knives inwardly smile and placed a foot in front of him, that caused Vash to fall hard on the floor. Knives approached the two insurance girls seating comfortably and he manages to seat in front of her. His twin just loves hurting his brother…
"Vash! C'mon, don't just lie there!" Meryl yelled at him turning her head slightly to look at the lying Vash.
With the sound of her voice, Vash stood straight up and runs to the dinner table. He doesn't want to miss dinner for the fact he was really hungry… and also wants to taste the food he missed…
They all closed their eyes and said a prayer, Millie said hers first.
"Dear God, thank you for the food we are going to eat now. Please bless this food and please bring happiness to everyone this Christmas Eve. Please make sure that wherever Nicholas is now he is well taken care of." Millie prayed with much enthusiasm in her voice as she signals Meryl to continue.
"Dear God, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be with our closest friends this Christmas Eve. In everything we do, please guide us and keep us away from harm." Meryl said, her eyes still closed.
"Vash it's your turn…" Meryl asked him urging him to continue.
"Yes… Uhm… Dear God, please bless everyone in this table. Meryl who's always there to take care of Millie and me… for the last years we've been together… Millie who always made it an effort to smile at any trouble… please let her stay cheerful and happy all the time…. And…" Vash continued, swallowed a lump formed in his throat.
"And knives, my twin brother… please take care of him… please don't let him do anything to harm other people especially me… please protect me from him." He continued, as he slowly opens his eyes only to find his brother pointing a gun in front of him. The two girls, who were oblivious of their motions kept their eyes closed.
"Vash, if you're finished… Knives… you go ahead…." Millie asked them… her eyes still closed making the prayer as sacred as possible.
"Ung.. Okay…" the other twin replied… he closed back his eyes and motioned his hands in praying position.
"Amen." He continued… flatly…
Everyone made it possible not to fall from each of their seats… as all of them sweat drops. (^ ^;)
"Okay, let's eat!!" Millie raised her hand holding a fork.
(if ever you want to know) each of them have a serving of big steaks and a serving of corn, carrots and peas as side dishes. In the middle of the table is a big platter of Lasagna and a bottle of chilled red wine.
AND thus, the dinner conversation begins!!
Millie: You know vash, you've done a pretty good job!!
Vash: What job?
Millie: the house was well decorated.
Vash: Huh? Oh that!!! Of course!! (Laughing out loud… proudly.)
Meryl: well actually the house was a bit OVER decorated. (Glancing her eyes around)
Knives nodded to agree… as Meryl continues…
Meryl: and can't help to notice the house is swarming of mistletoes…
Knives again nodded trying to tell he fully agrees to everything the insurance girl is saying are all true.
Vash smirked at his brother beside him.
Millie: but… the house felt it was made with love… ne Mr. Vash?
Vash: (turning to face Millie) of course!! I wanted this Christmas to turn out very fine!
Meryl: so where are you both working?
Vash: oh… I'm working in a mining company outside town.
(Meryl faced Knives)
Meryl: and you?
Knives: ………. The steak is great. ( he said flatly… no emotion roam his face.)
(Every one sweat drops ^ ^;)
Millie: Of course!! Meryl is the best cook in our town!! (she said proudly, as she tapped Meryl hard in the back while she was drinking her wine… that made her cough.)
Vash: Ah! So you're a chaff?
Knives: It's chef dimwit!
Vash: (sweat drops ^ ^;) so… is it hard being a chef?
Meryl: well, actually I really enjoyed being one so I don't find it hard.
Knives: (rolling his eyes) What kind of stupid questions is that… (he mumbles.)
Vash: (death gripping the spoon and fork in his hands.) So, how are you two going along?
Millie: well, were fine… a lot of people always gathered around our house!! Specially men!! Ne? Meryl? (looking over to Meryl… blushing =^ ^=)
Vash: ( a sweat trickle down his face) Huh? /gulped!/ and why is that?! (he asked frantically.
Millie: well, not only she's a great cook as well she's a beauty to behold too!! I told you meryl getting your hair that long was a really great idea! (she exclaimed proudly.)
Knives: So, Millie… where are you working?
(everyone turns to Knives)
Millie: I'm working on a construction site!! (she replied proudly.)
Knives: (turning to face his brother) and here you are complaining and whining how hard your job is!! (he began chiding his brother.)
Vash: oh is that so? Why can't you tell US what do you do to make a living!? Tell us how you slouch in the porch or how you whine when dinner's not ready huh? (Vash patience running out.)
Knives: Okay, I kill people for a living. ( he said calmly)
(Every one stopped eating… deep silence entered as everyone's eyes on him.)
Knives: Okay… Okay… whenever there's a gun tournament of some sort I come to join in… and as usual I always win…
(Every one sighs in relief.)
Everyone had just finished eating as they went to sit around the tree, where a lot of gifts scattered around it.
It was almost past midnight, and they all decided to open the gifts.
Meryl reaches for a gift wrapped in Santa clause designed gift wrapper and gives it to vash.
"Vash, here… from me!" she said cheerfully.
Vash's eyes grew all teary eyed and eyes the present and opens it.
He sweat drops and gives her a contented smile… (was he?)
"Wow… a cook book about donuts…" he tried to sound cheerful as possible… (well what do you want Meryl to give you Vash?!)
"If ever you wanted a donut… you can always go run to the kitchen and make some." She replied.
"Ne, Mr. Vash this is for you!!" Millie gave him a small paper bag.
"Neat!! A sweater!!" Vash exclaimed putting in his new red sweater.
"I knitted does myself!!" Millie said proudly.
"Yes I can see that!" Vash replied as he spots a small hole… enough to make his finger pass through…
"Uhm Meryl… this is for you!!" Vash said a loud hiding something at his back.
"Vash what is it?" Meryl asked, as she crawls behind him.
"Mistletoe!" Vash exclaimed as he raises the mistletoe in above them.
As he goes on for a smack in her lips… when…
"Hey!! Something's burning in the kitchen!" Knives shouted, stopping the most curcial moment Vash wanted to happen.
"Oh!! The chocolate chip cookies!! I completely forgot!" Meryl came down running down to the kitchen as she tries to get out the smoke.
"It's okay!! The cookies are fine!! All of them!!" she exclaimed as she puts the tray of cookies in the floor, beside Millie.
Everyone took a taste as they continued exchanging gifts.
Vash still in a trance form what could've supposed to happen, His eyes still blank as he hands Millie his gift for her.
"Millie, here." He said blankly (hey… what would you expect? He planted the whole thing… and yet he failed.)
"How cute!! Domo Mr. Vash!!" Millie ran to hug him as she cuddled the small white snowman stuff toy he gave to her.
"Here's your Meryl!!" Vash exclaimed enthusiastically, probably out of trance already.
"Thanks!!" meryl said cheerfully as she also hugged Vash. She eyed a small white bear with a big pink bow-tie tied around his neck.
"Ne, Mr. Knives… this is for you!!" Millie startled him as she raises a blue small paper bag in front of his face.
"Oh… thanks… " he smiled at her… faintly… couldn't believe this woman spider didn't forget him.
He opened it and found a light-blue scarf… pretty long though, but he accepted it and acknowledges the gift by putting it around his neck.
"And this is for you Knives!!" Meryl appeared from behind Millie, and handed him a bright-red wrapped gift.
He opens the gift and found a small picture frame in it. a picture was placed inside it, it was Meryl and Millie… with some children.
"It was a picture from an orphanage in the town, we decided to spend last Christmas with them… " Meryl explained as Knives eyed the picture.
"How come I don't have that?!" Vash appeared from behind him.
"Well, I think it's enough for the both of you…" Meryl continued, giving the both of them a warm smile… that caused the both of the to be red all- over.
"Wow!! I didn't know that you had it recopied Meryl!!" Millie asked.
"Yeah, actually it was just an accident so I decided to give them this." Meryl explained.
"Thanks." Knives replied as he steadies his hands on her shoulders as their faces were just inches from each other…
Knives eyed her intently and slowly…
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" Vash again shattered to pieces as he slumped in the floor crying…
"Ne, Vash Daijobu? Mr. Vash!!" Millie tugged him out of his trance…
Yet… the two in front of them didn't mind the rumbling going on and just continued what they were doing… even there was no mistletoe above of them….
"Wait and see!!! Next Christmas!!!!" Vash exclaimed to himself as he crushed the cookie he got…
