Ok, I'm back from my trip from Turkey and I couldn't put this story up until I got back.  Hope you enjoy it, I wrote this one in History class. - go me

"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" The tri – colored haired midget yelled as he jumped out of bed and landed on his Yami. The foot taller boy's eyes snapped open as he had the wind knocked out of him. Catching his breath, Yami sat up and pushed Yugi off of him. "What is the meaning of this my tiny munchkin friend?"

"I'm not tiny… just vertically challenged!!!" Yugi said in his own defense. "Besides, I can't get mad now, it's Christmas!"

"And what is this Christmas that you speak of young one?" Yami said in a puzzled tone.

"It's a time for giving, caring, and the one thing you hate,… EATING!" Yugi said with an excited tone. Still seeing the quizzical look on his ghostly friend's face, Yugi tried to go deeper into detail, "You know, getting together with friends and family, trading gifts with one another, and food, lots and lots of food."

Finally blinking out of his empty gaze, Yami just nodded and said, "I have no clue what you're talking about, but I will go along with you."

Giggling like a school girl, Yugi jumped onto the floor and crawled under the bed. Hearing a slight rustle beneath him, Yami leaned over the edge and looked into the darkness, trying to find his tiny hikari. "What in RA's name are you doing?" he yelled into the darkness. Soon enough, in a flash, Yami saw a box wrapped in shiny paper. Blinded by the quickness, Yami lost his balance and landed on his head on the floor. Falling over, rolling into the upright position, and holding onto his throbbing head, Yami asked, "What's that?"

Laughing, Yugi got up, walked of to Yami and placed the box in front of his older friend, way older to be exact, and said, "It's a present… a gift?..." a sweat bead appeared on Yugi's head, he got fed up and shouted, "Just open it!"

Hands trembling, Yami took the box slowly, thinking it was about to explode because Yugi was so eager for him to open it. Also with the remembrance of what happened last time, and Yugi had called that a Jack – In – A – Box. /I am now forever scared for life./ he thought to himself.

Placing it in his lap and poking at it a couple of times, Yami looked up towards his standing aibou. Seeing the eager look on his face, Yami gave up and started to, very slowly, un – wrap his "gift". As the seconds slowly passed, the closer Yami got to the actual box. Once the last piece of the shiny paper was removed, Yami took a deep breath and prayed to Ra as he tore up the tape and lifted the lid up. Closing his eyes and peering over the box, he slowly opened his eyes and looked inside.

Eyes growing wide, he slowly reached inside and poked at it before he was convinced that it was real and that it wouldn't jump out at him and pie him in the face. Picking it up and revealing the gift, Yami just stared and thought, /What the…/

"Don't you like it?" Yugi asked.

"It's umm… well umm…" he stammered, "Why'd you get me a food bowl?"

"Whoopsy… wrong gift. That was the second half, hold on." Yugi said and, almost skillfully, dived back under the bed. Sitting silently, patiently waiting, Yami thought about what Yugi could have gotten him. Many ideas fulfilled hit thoughts and he completely forgot the hint that the food bowl had given him. These thoughts continued until he felt something climbing up his back. Holding his breathe, he felt it climb higher and higher. Finally losing it when he felt something fuzzy on his neck, he jumped up and started screaming like a mad woman, "YUGI HELP! THERE'S A SPIDER ON MY BACK! QUICK, GET IT OFF!" he yelled. Flailing his arms, he tried to slap it off him. Having his hand finally making contact with the "spider", he hit it off of him, but he still felt it clinging onto his back for dear life. Still dancing and screaming for help, he didn't stop until he tripped and fell flat on his face.

"I'm sorry Yami, but I had to get you down." Yugi said while bending over and picking up the "spider" off of Yami's back. "And for your information, it's not a spider." Yugi said while petting it.

Rolling over, Yami what the spider was in Yugi's arms.

…Christmas… in May??? Don't ask, I wasn't feeling Christmassy during Christmas, and I was now, so, hope you enjoyed it. Ayeka69 -
