A/N:: Merry christmas, my dear Misty!! This chapter skips a year to when it's christmas, before Endless Waltz begins. let's see how it goes.

"Misty Streets"

Chapter 5:: X-mas special

The snow from the dark clouds fell to the ground, as Mist walked along the streets, looking for a special address. After going on Heero's labtop, and finding a special store she had been looking for all day. It was christmas day, and she was lucky that the store she was looking for was still open. She opened the door, looking in to see a young silver haired man standing there by the desk. He looked up to see her coming in.

"Hello, miss, can I help you?"

"Yes, you can," She handed him a piece of paper with a picture on it, "I heard you have this here, and I wanted to buy it."

"Hmmmm....." He studied the picture, and smiled up at her. "Your in luck, young lady, we still have it. Let me get it. Is it for someone?"

"Yes....A special person I care about." She smiled.

"I see...I'll wrap it then. What color bow and wrapping paper?"

"....Rose pink paper, and a black bow."

"Black?"

"Yes."

He raised an eyebrow, then headed into the back. Mist stood there, clutching her coat with her hand. She looked around to see a head of Dark brown hair standing on the other side of the shelves. She looked over to the shelves, to see the last person she would expect to find.

"Heero?"

He turned to see her standing there, and almost dropped the glass figure in his hand. He put it back on the shelf, and walked over to her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I could ask you the same thing, I never would have thought you would be here." She let go of her coat.

"I came to get a present for Relena....but it's hard to know what to get her."

Mist smiled warmly, and walked over to the glass figurines, and pulled one in the form of a beautiful woman with a dragon going around her, as if protecting her from the darkness around them. She handed it to him, making him look at her in confusion.

"The dragon is you, and the woman is Relena. You protect her, as she faces the world around her. It's a perfect present."

"....."

"Excuse me, miss, your present is wrapped."

Mist headed over to the man, and took the long formed wrapped present, and put it under her arm. She put her hood over her head, and began to leave.

"Mist!" Heero called over.

"Yes?"

".....Thank you."

She smiled, nodding, then left, heading into the snow covered streets. She looked around as the people around her greeted her warmly, and passed by with family, lovers, and friends. She looked up at the sky, as a beautiful star caught her eye.

"Kara....it's christmas. I hope you are still watching me like you always did. I've helped the gundams, and the war is over. I hope you can forgive them for killing your parents, I'm sure it was an accident. Please find it in your passed soul to forgive Duo as well. Merry christmas, big sister."

Mist grinned, and began to head home, when she bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?" Mist rambled.

"I'm fine, and....Mist, what are you doing here?"

She looked up to see Duo looking down at her. Her eyes widened, but a smile crossed her lips.

"I..." They both started.

"Mist, I got you something." Duo had a small box in his hands.

"Really? Well...I did too." She had the huge box in her hands.

Silence crossed both of them, as the snowflakes seemed to get thicker as they fell to the dark streets under their feet. Mist handed the present over to the braided boy, as he handed to small wrapped box over to her.

"Should we?" Mist cocked her head.

"Oh, what the hell? You go first."

Mist nodded, and took the silver wrapping paper clean off, showing a small type of jewerly box. She cautiously opened to show a necklace with a diamond covered heart, with a ruby rose design on it. A bright smile appeared on her lips, as she wrapped her arms around him. He laid his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her emerald eyes.

"You haven't opened the heart to see what's inside."

"Oh."

She took the heart on her hands, to show a picture of her and Kara with arms wrapped around each other, and the other was of her and Duo, her arms around his neck. She looked at him with this adorable puppy look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Duo, it's so beautiful."

"Okay, glad you like it."

"Open mine!! Right now!"

Duo tore the rose pink wrapping paper away, and let the black bow fall onto his arm, and found a silver bladed scythe in his hands. He looked at her with unreadable eyes.

"You've always said you were Shinigami, so I thought you could have the one thing that would make you the God of Death. Do you like it?" She asked, as he hooked the chain around her neck.

He simply smiled, and laid the scythe on the bench next to him, and brought her into a hug. She found her head near his chest, when she realized something. Duo was completely warm, even in the freezing snow. She looked up at the lights to see something, and then began to laugh. He looked at her in confusion.

"What's funny?"

"Look above us, Duo."

He lifted his head to see what she saw. Mistletoe. Right above the bench lights. They looked at each other, only to see the smile plastered on each other's lips.

"Merry Christmas, Duo."

"Merry Christmas, Mist."

While ignoring the other people around them, as they were locked in a warm, passionate kiss. The snow was falling, the lights flased on, the night was perfect.

A/N:: Okay, hehe, that was a good one. I hope you like, Misty. r/r Merry Christmas, Misty-chan!! *hugs her*
