What'd You Get?
"I'm, dreaming of a white Christmas! Just like the ones I used to know!", Tabitha sang, as she leaned back over the couch, looking at the bellboy who was concentrating on setting up their dinner tray.
"Where those tree tops, glisten; and, children listen; to hear, sleigh bells in the snow," Elizabeth continued.
"The snow!" The girls joined in unison.
The bellboy gulped, glancing at the singing girls nervously. He looked to the men sitting at the table in the living room area for help. They only smirked at him; glad they weren't suffering the punishment. He sighed, rolling his eyes, as Tabitha leaned back further over the back of the couch, looking at him, waving the tip in the air, "May your days be merry and bright! And may all your Christmases be white!" She finished.
The bellboy took the tip, and rushed out of the room, closing the door after him. Tabitha leaned up, to face the girls. They all laughed cheerfully. "Ah, servants are dumb." Tabitha sighed, as she ended her laughter.
Remy glared at her, his eyebrows narrowing with annoyance. "She's drunk, mate." Brian answered for him.
"Wait, the song ain't done yet!" Wanda reminded Tabitha.
The girls bunched together, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, whaooo waaa!" They finished, mocking a doo wop quartet.
They then jumped up and down happily, clapping at their antics. "Oh, that's so fun!" Wanda smiled. "I mean, I torture the door to door sales men, but this is even better!" She smiled.
Logan glanced at John across the table, as John nervously looked up from his cards. The men around him glared at him. He nervously laughed, "Yeah, she still does that. I'm surprised anyone comes around the house anymore." He nervously laughed.
"Okay! Food time!" Tabitha exclaimed.
"You know, looking at all this food makes me feel horrible for the poor unfortunate souls outside." Elizabeth solemnly sighed.
Remy stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her, hugging her close. Rogue nodded, "Yeah, I know. I hate that about the holidays. You sit and think about how fortunate you really are." She added.
Tabitha frowned, glaring at the food. Brian wrapped his arms around her, and she turned, looking up at him, "Honey, I know what we can do!" She gasped.
"Oh oh." Everyone said in unison.
"We can take pictures of us eating, and show it to them!" Tabitha suggested.
Everyone raised eyebrows at her, as if she had drunken just a tad too much. Which she had already. Tabitha rushed out of Brian's hold, and turned to the end table, grabbing the camera. She held it in front of her, as she opened her mouth towards the large roasted turkey in the middle of the table, and snapped the picture. "Wow. If God created Jesus as a female, you'd be it, Tabitha." John sarcastically replied.
Tabitha smiled proudly, "You're the best!" She smiled.
The others around her rolled their eyes, shaking their heads. "Let's dig in." Kurt eagerly smiled, at the large array of food laid out in front of them.
*~*~*~*
"Ah. I'm stuffed." Rogue smiled with content, as she sunk down in the couch.
"I know, me too. I can't believe we stood out, eating two dinners already. Appetizers downstairs, and gulfing down this food up here. Geez, I think I've gained like, thirty pounds already." Kitty groaned.
"You know, it's too bad we're not kids anymore. How we used to listen for the hoofs on the roof." Elizabeth smiled.
"Honey, I told you, Jean's not invited." Tabitha snapped.
"Tabby!" Rogue laughed.
"Did you have lumps of coal in your stockings every year, Tabby?" Kitty asked curiously.
Tabitha shrugged, letting out a laugh, "Hey, it's not my fault I tell the truth."
"You're so bad, Tabby!" Wanda laughed.
"So, Wanda, what's this I hear about starting a family?" Rogue asked, changing the subject.
Wanda blushed slightly, with a smile, as she turned to look at the balcony doors, to see her love, John, standing outside with the other men. Remy, Logan, and John had kept the boys outside with them, as they smoked their after meal stogies, with the non smokers just chatting with them, catching up. She then turned back to her friends, "Well, after Pietro and Crystal had their baby, I just couldn't believe the love I felt. I loved everything about watching over Luna; even the diaper changing. So, John and I have talked about it, and we decided to go ahead with it." She gushed.
"Without gettin' married first?" Rogue asked, almost shocked.
"Please, marriage is just a piece of paper to me. John and I love each other. We've been together since high school! He's helped me deal with my issues and everything. We've been through everything together through thick and thin." Wanda scoffed.
Tabitha shook her head with a smile, "Wow. Under those breasts, beats a heart as big as those breasts!" Tabitha smiled.
The girls erupted with laughter. "Uh, thanks?" Wanda laughed.
"You've been dealin' okay with the issues, Wanda?" Rogue asked, after gaining composure from her laughter.
Wanda nodded, "Yeah. I've been tryin' to deal with it. It's hard, but, Xavier and Betsy here along with John have been pullin' me through." Wanda smiled. "And with the support of these guys."
"Well, I'm back, and now you've got me behind ya as well, hun." Rogue smiled.
Wanda lightly slapped her arm, "Oh I know! Thank god your back! These girls have been drivin' me nuts!" She joked.
"Hey! Hush now!" Elizabeth snapped with a laugh.
"So, what are you all gettin' for your men for Christmas, ladies?" Tabitha asked.
"I got Lance a new PA system." Kitty whispered, "He's got this studio goin' on in our house, in the basement. So, he needed a new system, and I hope he likes this one!" Kitty smiled.
"Wow! I got Brian a new sword set. Took me forever to find it. And it was damned expensive, so if he doesn't like it, thank god I do. Because I'll just take it off his hands!" Tabitha smiled, "I was tempted to give him a Cher doll." She paused, before drinking her champagne; "I knew he wouldn't like that, so he'd be forced to give it to me." She smiled.
The girls laughed at her comment. "Well, I got Remy a new toy. He likes to refer to his Harley's as toys now. So he'll be happy with this." Elizabeth smiled.
"Geez, how many does he have now?" Rogue asked.
"He has a nice collection of about four. This will be the first one from me. It's custom designed due to his codename! It's a beautiful piece of work." Elizabeth proudly stated.
"You spoil that boy. Has he gotten you anything nice?" Amanda asked.
"Yes! But the things that are really nice that he's gotten me are a tad personal." Elizabeth gushed.
"Well, Kurt's gonna get a nice new theater system." Amanda smiled.
Wanda let out a laugh, "I'm givin' John a nice zippo collector's set. We saw it in the mall a couple of months ago, and he was gushing all over it. I swear, if those Zippos were women, he'd probably have sex with the poor things." Wanda laughed.
"He wanted them that bad, huh?" Rogue added.
Wanda nodded, as she grimaced, "Yeah! I mean, I can't believe I even got them. I might end up gettin' jealous over the damn things!" She then sighed, "The things I do to make that man smile." She grinned.
"As does he." Elizabeth added.
"Indeed." Wanda blushed.
"Well, Logan is so hard to shop for. That man doesn't want anything but bikes. So, I'm just gonna drag him out shopping the day after Christmas. See what he wants. He insists on getting nothing this year, because he gives me the line of, oh, you've given me enough already, blah blah." Rogue laughed.
The girls smiled at her comment. "Do you know if he's gotten you anything?" Elizabeth asked.
Rogue shook her head, "He's so damned sneaky!" She snapped.
"Yeah, Lance hasn't gotten me anything this year. I told him not to, because I don't celebrate Christmas." Kitty commented.
"What? But, aren't you supposed to get at least something?" Tabitha snapped.
"I don't want anything for him. I have him, and that's enough." Kitty answered.
"Oh pish posh! You lovers and not wanting anything but the people themselves. We're women! We love gifts! Just wave a wrapped gift in our faces, and we'll follow you anywhere!" Elizabeth laughed.
"Here here!" Tabitha agreed, holding up her glass.
AN- Hey all! Sorry it took me so long to update; but, I have been working on so many things all at once; more music vids, (Yes mish, they're addictive), two other fics, and this, and yadda yadda, and reading MISH'S fics, as well as Ahras! I've been distracted! Can ya blame me? Hehehe…and…I'm so glad some of you reviewers noticed; what would my wacky A/U stories be without inspiration of Will and Grace? LoL! I love that show, and I've always wanted to see it Evo Style. See who would fit who. As you couldn't already tell, Tabby is SO Karen mixed with Jack. Can't you see it? LoL! But really, thanks for noticin'. I was hopin' someone would. So, I'll definitely give the credit: My fics ARE inspired by the thought of wanting to see Will and Grace in our Evo personalities. They're FUN! WOOHOO! (hands ya'all some candy and sodas to enjoy) WOOHOO!!
