A Little Christmas Cheer
Chapter 3: The Perfect Gift
"Raven?" Van asked cautiously, as he approached the two. Raven pulled away hastily and blushed.
"What do you want?" Raven snapped.
"I..we...we'd like you two to join us inside," Van stammered, "Shadow and Specula are welcome as well. Zeke needs some company."
"You-you're inviting *us* to celebrate with you? But what will the team think?" Reese reasoned.
"It's Christmas isn't it? Christmas is a time of giving and sharing, not to mention a time of peace. So how about it?" Van asked, and offered his hand to his taller, former rival. Raven paused, unsure of what to do. He turned to Reese and she nodded.
"Alright." He replied at last, and shook Van's hand. Van smiled.
"C'mon then!" He laughed, and pulled the two inside, while the two organoids followed.
"There is no *way* they can come in!" Marianne said, with her hands on her hips.
"I told you this was a bad idea." Raven said sadly and turned to leave, holding Reese's hand. Marianne giggled. "You didn't let me finish! You can only come in *after* you kiss!" She finished happily, and pointed to the mistletoe above their heads.
"It's a tradition that if two people stand under mistletoe-"
"Then they must kiss." Reese finished quietly, and looked to Raven nervously.
"You better do it. She's very scary when she gets mad." Van laughed, and walked over to Fiona.
"I know from experience." Rudolf commented.
"Hey!" Marianne huffed. Raven met Reese's blue gaze. Without a word he swooped down and kissed her, his arms circling her small frame. Her eyes widened and after a moment she embraced him and kissed back. "I-I love you Reese...Merry Christmas." He whispered. Reese laughed softly.
"I know Raven, but thankyou for telling me. I love you too..." Marianne giggled and clapped her hands together. "Yay!" She squealed. The romantic moment was interrupted by a small voice.
"Can we open the pressies now?" Thomas whined and Karl sighed. (I am NOT related to him) He thought, and soundly thwacked his brother with his hat.
***************************_***************************_***************************_*************
"Merry Christmas everyone!" Fiona said happily, and handed out identical packages to everyone. Thomas ripped the wrapping to shreds in the blink of an eye, and opened the box.
"What is it?" Karl asked, and curiously peeked over his shoulder.
"It's a me!" Thomas squealed.
"Excuse me?"
"Lookie!" Thomas squealed, and thrust a plushie of himself at his brother. "It's a me!" Karl laughed as he held the small plushie of his brother. Fiona laughed.
"Yes, Moonbay and I hand sewed them for all of you."
"Thankyou!" Thomas said, and embraced Fiona and Moonbay, "C'mon bro! I wanna see your you!" The older Schubaltz smiled as he unwrapped his gift. Thomas snatched the plushie from him immediately. "Lookie bro! They even got all your badges right! And you even have a hat!" Thomas handed the miniature Karl to his brother and hugged his little 'him'.
"Thankyou very much." Karl nodded, a smile on his lips as he inspected his plushie. He was surprised that his brother was right. On his uniform were miniature badges and even a badge on his hat, identical to the ones he wore.
"Here you go Van." Fiona smiled, and kissed him softly. Van smiled as he gazed at a miniature replica of himself.
"Thanks Fi!" He said, and hugged the smiling girl.
"This is for you!" Moonbay said, and handed a package to the startled Irvine. She giggled at the look on his face as he held the plushie.
"Wow...Thanks Moonbay." He replied, and smiled slightly.
"That's only part one of your present." She said, and placed her hands on her slender hips.
"So what's part two?"
"This." Moonbay kissed the startled Irvine as Van and Fiona laughed.
"Did you just-?"
"Uh huh."
"Okay." Irvine shrugged, and kissed Moonbay again. The crew laughed at the two rivals who had realized their feelings at last.
"Raven? Reese?" Fiona asked in a small voice.
"Yes?"
"Uhm...I have a gift for you both as well..." Fiona handed small plushies of the two to the startled couple.
"Thankyou Fiona." Reese nodded. Raven stared at his replica, and then at Reese's. Reese smiled.
"Can I have your you?" She asked and Raven grinned.
"Only if I can have you..." He replied and Reese smiled cheekily and hugged him.
"Which me?" Reese asked, eyes full of mischief. Raven laughed and placed a slightly nervous kiss on her lips. "Both if that's possible." The two new found lovers traded plushies.
"Colonel Schubaltz?"
"Hn?" Karl looked up with amusement in his eyes from watching Thomas play with his plushie.
"I have a gift for you but you have to follow me." Herman said nervously. Karl's eyebrows drew together in confusion but he nodded. Herman led him to the hallway.
"Merry Christmas Karl."
"Huh? But Colonel, I don't see anything...All I see is the hallway and the mistle-" The taller Colonel cut off Karl by kissing him fiercely. Once he pulled back, all Karl could do was stare at Herman, his mouth open with shock.
"I know you probably will hate me and never treat me the same, but you have to understand Colonel Schubaltz...Karl...that I-I...love you." Herman whispered and braced himself for rejection. Karl smiled, his beautiful jade eyes filled with love as he embraced the taller Colonel.
"I love you too..." Karl replied, and tilted his head up for another kiss.
"Aw! Aren't they sooooo cute?????" Aiya squealed and hugged Jake.
"Uh...yeh." He stammered, and blushed before placing a kiss on her forehead.
"And I didn't even have to tell them to kiss!" Marianne said happily. Thomas smiled at his brother, happy that his senior finally found peace in his hectic life. He snapped out of his trance and called the organoids over.
"Hey guys. Since Fi and Van are kinda...busy, here are your pressies." He handed little replicas to the organoids.
"Aren't they cute?" He asked, and patted Zeke. Zeke growled happily and nuzzled Thomas who laughed. "You're welcome Zeke."
Specula shyly held out her plushie to Shadow. The black organoid looked confused, then realized that Specula was offering a gift. He growled happily and gave his plushie to her and nuzzled her fondly. Specula squeaked happily and nuzzled Shadow in return.
"Reese?" Aiya asked, and gently tapped her shoulder.
"Hn?"
"Uhm...you see I-I," Aiya stammered, and handed her a bright golden star. "I didn't want to put the star on myself. I wanted someone else to do it. Uhm...could you-?"
"You want *me* to put up the star?" Reese asked, and held the star delicately, as if it were worth the world. "But what about your friends?"
"It's Christmas, and Christmas is a time for friendships old and new. So how about it Reese?" The ancient Zoidian stared at the young lilac-haired major before nodding nervously.
"I-I guess it wouldn't hurt..."
"That's the spirit!" Aiya laughed and helped her to her feet. Reese walked to the tree and looked to Specula to boost her up. Her blue eyes widened as she felt someone lift her up.
"You really need to grow Reese." Raven commented and she laughed.
"Or you need to shrink some." She reached up and placed the star onto the tip of the tree. Raven gently put her back onto the ground and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"I...I want to say thankyou to you all...for making Reese and I feel...human again," Raven began, finding the words difficult to say. Reese gave him a reassuring smile and he continued. "I just want to say thankyou for adding a little Christmas cheer to what would've been a sad Christmas."
