A/N: Wow, this chapter took longer than I thought! Sorry for the wait. . . I've got some major catching up to do in my AP English class, on top of my article in my newspaper class, not to mention my AP history and College Algebra classes. 0.0 Talk about piling on the work! Well anyway, as if that isn't enough trouble, my computer is acting up, and we're going to have to reload everything on it. ~_~ I really hate computers some times. . . but, I am trying my best, so enjoy! ^_^

Chapter 11: Wufei's Gift

Everyone was enjoying Christmas cake and drinks when the doorbell rang. Heero, Quatre, Wufei and Trowa all looked curiously confused, but Duo grinned mischievously, and Hilde and Cathy both had trouble keeping straight faces as they went to open the door. Sally Po stood on the doorstep, looking like she would rather be almost anywhere else. Cathy led her into the room and sat her on the end of the couch closest to Wufei.

"Sally?" Quatre asked curiously. "I didn't know you would be here."

Hilde grinned. "You weren't supposed to. She is here with one last Christmas present. Wufei, stand up, please," she said sweetly. He scowled, but did as he was asked. He did, however, protest when Cathy then tied a handkerchief around his eyes.

"Oh, calm down. It's not like we're gonna strip you and use you for entertainment."

Duo snickered. "Although that would be pretty funny to see."

It took Hilde, Cathy, and Trowa to keep Wufei from blindly attacking Duo, who sat far out of his reach, giggling madly.

"Duo," Hilde huffed reprovingly. "Don't. . . taunt. . . him, we're. . . serious. . . here. . ."

"Okay. . . okay. . . I'm sorry. . . I'll stop. . . I promise." He wiped his eyes and held back more giggles as they finally managed to calm Wufei down.

"Okay, Wufei. It's okay." Hilde and Trowa stayed on either side of him, while Cathy stepped towards Sally. "Okay, Sally, give him his gift."

Sally stood up, smiling nervously, and made her way slowly over until she was standing a foot away from the blinded Chinese. She leaned forward and surprised everyone except the girls by planting a big kiss right on his lips. Wufei jerked back so hard that he fell backwards, and brought Trowa down with him. He ripped off the blindfold and glared heatedly up at Sally, who grinned. "Merry Christmas, Wufei."

"What. . . the hell was that for?" he demanded, the blood filling his cheeks making his glare seem much less deadly.

"Do you want a girlfriend?"

What?!"

"Your present," Hilde interjected, "is a date with Sally."

Wufei raised an eyebrow. "What if I refuse?"

"Even you aren't that much of a stickler," Duo said, grinning. "At least, I didn't think so."

"Watch it, braid boy. Don't push your luck." He glared at the smiling Duo, who merely shrugged.

"Am I right?"

Wufei glared for a moment, then dropped his gaze. "I'll do it," he mumbled.

Sally and Cathy sighed in relief, and Hilde laughed and clapped her hands.

"Oh, yay! I hoped he'd agree!"

Wufei simply scowled more and sat up against the couch. Sally sat right behind him, much to his annoyance, and Trowa moved back over to the second couch where he and Quatre had been before. He sank back down, his arm around Quatre's shoulders.
