"The Bestest Gift Ever"

"Good night, Val," Filia kissed Val lightly on the forehead. "Now go to sleep so Santa could come."

"Okay, Filia-Mama," Val nestled down in his bed and yawned. It was 9:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and Val was VERY sleepy. He was just about to doze off when he remembered something. "Oh! Filia-Mama!"

"Yes, Val?" Filia smiled down at the green haired ancient. She watched as Val scrambled across the bed to his desk. He opened one of the drawers and pulled out a white envelope.

"Here, Filia-Mama," Val handed the envelope to his mother. "Can you put this outside, for Santa?"

"^_^ Sure," Filia took the letter from the bouncing mass of green hair. "Now go to sleep. It's very late."

"Okay! Nighty night, Filia-Mama!" And with that said, Val snuggled into his pillows and fell right to sleep. Filia smiled warmly as she quietly exited Val's room.

He is such a cute little kid, Filia thought to herself. His smile always brightens my day. The sleepy ex-miko was about to head to her own room, when she remembered Val's letter. And making sure to keep her word, she walked to the living room where a beautiful Christmas tree stood with shiny (BlueJ: OoOoh...shiny...) ornaments. She walked over to the fireplace, where there hung a small green stocking. Filia was about to slip the letter into the stocking, when curiosity got the better of her. I wonder what my little Val would want.

Carefully opening the envelope, Filia took out the letter. Then she began to read the childish writing...

"WHAT??!!!!" Filia reread the letter in disbelief. The golden dragon was shocked. "O.O Is that what he really wants?!!" Filia just stared at the letter for a while, before shaking her head and sliding it into the stocking. "No. There is NoOoOo way I'm letting--" Filia thought for a moment about the letter. But he'll be so upset if I don't-but I can't! Filia chewed her lip and sighed. The things I do for Val...

~*Christmas Morning*~

"It's Christmas morning!" Val hopped off of his bed and bounced over to his closet. After changing out of his pajamas, Val skipped happily down the stairs into the living room, where Filia was re-hanging a few ornaments.

"Good morning, Val!" Filia greeted the bouncing ball that was called Val.

"Good morning, Filia-Mama! ^_^" Val looked around the room, trying to find out if Santa had given him his 'special' gift. Not seeing what he was looking for under the Christmas tree, Val proceeded to search the entire room. He looked behind the bookcase, he peeked up the chimney, he checked under the coach, he even looked inside his mom's flower vase, but he couldn't find his 'special' gift. Being very disappointed, Val checked under the coach again.

"Val?" Filia blinked as she watched her son act very strangely. "What are you looking for??"

"Filia-Mama?" Val turned to Filia. "Did you see-AAAAAAAAH!!" Val screeched as his whole vision was blurred by purple hair. Wait a minute...purple hair? Val thought questioningly. There's only one person I know with purple hair... "Xelly-Papa!!!!"

"^_^ Hi, Val!!" Xellos floated upside down in front of Val, grinning like mad.

"Xelly-Papa!!" Val leaped at the floating mazoku, catching him off guard. Val latched himself around Xel's neck. "Hi!! How are you??"

"*gag* Choking!!" Losing his balance (if that's possible when you're hanging in midair) Xellos toppled to the ground, with Val stuck like glue to his neck. "Ouchies..."

"^_^ Hi, Xelly-Papa! ^_^"

"Hey, Val! It's been awhile since I've seen you!" Xellos smiled at the happy-go-lucky Val.

"YEAH! You were gone for SoOoOoOo LONG!" Val cried while hopping up and down on Xel's lap. "I missed you!"

"You did, did you??" Xellos tickled the little dragon. "Well, I guess I missed you, too. ^_^"

"Hello, Namagomi," Filia twitched slightly, as she watched the giggling pair on the floor. Xellos turned to face Filia.

"My, my! Hello, Fi-chan! ^_^" Xellos grinned up at the glaring Filia. "Long time, no see!"

"Not long enough," Filia twitched. "AND DON'T CALL ME 'CHAN'!"

"Xelly-Papa?" Xellos looked down at Val. "Where were you??"

"That..." Xellos winked at the young dragon. "Is a secret!"

"Where were you?"

"That's a secret."

"Where were you?"

"That's a secret."

"Where were you?"

"That's a--"

"WOULD YAH JUST TELL THE KID?!!" Filia glared down at the grinning mazoku.

"Aww, Fi-CHAN!" Xellos piped up. "You ruin all the fun." He looked back down at Val. "I was just on some errands for someone. ^_^ But I'm done now. So, I came to visit you!"

"Really?!" Val smiled one of those super-gigantic-extremely-happy smiles with sparkles in his eyes (Ky-chan: Actually...that image kinda scares me). "YAY!! Now we could play together! We could go outside, play gold fish, do puzzles, play tag, hide-and-seek, and--!"

"YES!" Xellos, not wanting to hear an incredibly long list of torturous games, cut in. "YES! That's exactly what we'll do! ^_^ So, instead of sitting in this dump all day--"

"HEY!" Filia glared at Xel.

"-Why don't we go do one of the things on your tortur-Game List?" Xellos got off the floor and helped Val up. "So, what do you want to do first?"

"Oh!" Val's smile, if possible, brightened even more (thoroughly making Xellos feel a bit sick). "Let's go outside and play in the snow! We could make snow angels, and we could make snowmen, and we could have a snow fight, and we could go sledding, and--!"

"YEAH!" Xellos, a little green in the face, cut in once again. "Now, let's go do whatever you want to do. ^_^ Let's go! I'm not getting any younger!"

"You got that right," Filia snorted before taking Val's hand. "Come on, Val. Let's go get warmer clothes. Then we could go outside."

"Excuse me," Xellos raised an eyebrow. "Did you say 'we'??"

"Well, duh," Filia guided the bouncing Val up the stairs. "You didn't really think that I would let a namagomi monster like YOU wonder off with my innocent little Val, did you??"

"Tsk, tsk. Fi-chan, it's not polite to call people names." Xellos wagged his finger back and forth.

"Well, it's not polite to go kill half of a person's entire race, either," Came Filia's voice from upstairs.

"Neither is killing off an ENTIRE race!" Xellos called from the bottom of the stairs.

"And neither is living, breathing, and taking up space on this planet when nobody wants you!"

"..." Xellos stood quiet for a moment. "Wow...She took my next line. ^_^ Fi-chan learns fast!"
