It was noon and the girls were staring to get really nervous about their parents meeting their boyfriends.There was a knock at the door,anouncing their arrival,that sent chills down all of the girls' backs.Becka slowly went to answer it,the door getting closer and closer to her hand with each step that she took.She took a deep breath and turned the knob.
"Merry Christmas!"The boys "sang" in unison as the door swung open.Becka's eyes widened when she saw Spot.He wasn't wearing his usual black clothes and chains,like he always did when they didn't have to go to class,but instead he was wearing a bright red shirt that said,"There!I'm officially into the Christmas Spirit!" and some dark green baggy pants.
He went up to her as the others made their way inside.He looked down at the floor,a slight blush appearing on his face."I uh..." but before he could finish,Becka's father came up from behind them and closed the door.He gave Spot a deadly look,but it mostly affected Becka instead of him.
Becka took Spot's hand and dragged him over to a spot on the floor in the corner."Hey,did you miss me?"he said quietly to her as they sat down.She smiled and nodded."Of course I did,Spot."He smiled,too and handed her the blue box which he had had in his arms the whole time.Becka smiled and pulled out a box of her own from under the bed and handed it to him.
Spot was about to rip it open,but Becka held up her hand and said with a slight giggle,"You have to meet my parents first,then you can open your present."Spot sighed but agreed.Becka gulped and waved over her mother,father and little sister.She was still totally anxious for this day to be over,even if it was Christmas.She pulled Spot up as she did and waited for her parents to get close enough to hear.
"Umm...mom,dad,this is Spot Conlon...he's well...he's my boyfriend." There,she had said it.But now what?Spot held out his hand and said,"Nice to meet you Mr.Zumaya and Mrs.Sandoval.Ho- er Becka's told me so much about you both."
As Becka had thought,her mother was all happy to meet him and was the first one to grab his hand for a shake."Wow...my little girl has a boyfriend!This is so exciting!Were's my camera?Kika,Get me my camera!"Becka's little sister,Kika,sighed and ran off to fetch her mother's camera.
And,as she had also thought,her father just stared Spot down,even though it didn't affect him whatsoever.He held out his hand and said,"Nice to meet you,Mr.Zumaya."Becka's father looked down at his hand for a moment before taking it.
She looked over at Spot and saw his face cringe and his hand start to turn red.She sighed and put her hand on her father's."Daddy...Have you said hi to the other parent's,yet?I bet they'll want to hear about the latest cruise that you were on."Her father let go of Spot's hand and nodded."Sure..." and then he walked off to talk to Abby's father.
Becka took Spot's red hand and examined it."Your dad has quite a grip,there..."Becka managed a smile and said,"Yeah...but don't mind him.He's really nice once you get to know him."Spot smiled and put his other hand on top of her's.
He was about to say something,but once again,he was interuppted.This time by Becka's mother,who now had her camera full of film and ready to go.
"Ok,smile!I want at least ten pictured of you two.And this is just the first,which means that it was to be the best."Becka sighed as Spot reached his arm around her shoulders.They both smiled,even though they didn't really want to.Her mother squeeled with excietment as the flash blured all of their vision.
Becka pulled Spot back down to sit on the floor."Ok,now I can open it,right?"he said like a little kid.Becka laughed and nodded,grabbing for her's as well.
Lisa had no time alone with Race at all.Her mom,dad,sister Mitchelle and sister Sandy had all been surrounding them and asking so many questions."So you're Racetrack?The one on the pone.right?"Mitchelle said to him,maybe a little drunk from all the beer that she had snuck into the room.
Race nodded and shook random hands that had been "flying" towards him."So how long have you two been together,Racetack?"Sandy asked.Race sighed and said,"Uhhh...you can call me,Race..."Sandy smiled and leaned a little closer to him,making Lisa put her "alert" button on.
"Race,then.How long have you been together with my little sister?"Lisa pulled Sandy back a little as Race said,"I think we've been together ever since we played-"Lisa put her hand over his mouth and laughed out,"Uh,when we played...poker...right?"Race raised his eyebrow and then grinned,getting the hint.
"Yeah,back in 'Hatten,I was the best gambler around.Not that I went into any cosinos or anything...I only played with my friends and the people at the home."That brought up another question."What home?"her mother asked,"You mean...the orphanage?"Race nodded,not at concerned with the looks that her family was giving him.Lisa sighed and put her hand on her head.This was going to be a long day.
Abby knew almost knew exactly what her family would say about Swifty,but she didn't really care.Her brother Lee and sister Chris were acting more like her parents then her parents were.They kept giving Swifty all these dirty looks as if he weren't good enough for her,so Abby had to put on her "dirty face",too.
"So Swifty..."her brother said to him,flexing one of his muscles in the process.(a/n:her bro is actually really strong,and he kinda looks it,too...so many people don't like to mess with him)"I hear that you're from New York,right?"Swifty slowly nodded as Abby sat in his lap,making her family's "Oh no she didn't!" faces appear.Swifty smiled and nodded.
"So then how come none of you guys have that accent,thing?"her sister asked."Well,"Swifty began,"we've learned how to cover it up...but if you want me to talk with it...I guess I could..."Abby's eyes widened and she turned around and said,"Don't do it!They're just trying to play you into their hands.If you do what they say this one time,then they'll keep making you do it over and over again.Belive me,I know."
Before Swifty could say anything,Lee laughed and said,"Don't worry,shrimp.We're just having a little fun..."Abby rolled her eyes and said,"But when you have fun,I don't...and neither does anyone else."Chris and Lee laughed and continued questioning Swifty.
No matter how much she denied it,Erica knew that she liked Jack,who was hanging around her a little too much.He had been trying to talk some small talk with her for the past fifteen minuets.This little smile had been forming on her face as Jack continued to talk to her,even though she tired to resist talking back.
Her mother,father and brother came up to them and made it worse,too."So Erica,"her mom began,"Since all the other girls seem to have boyfriends,I take it that this one os yours?And oh,he's a looker."She winked at them,which made her feel very disturbed.
"B-B-But he's not my-"she tried to explain to them that Jack and her weren't exactly dating,but they wouldn't listen."Oh you don't have to explain anything,hunny."Her father said,grabbing Jack's hand and giving it a good shake."We knew the second that they sent us the notice that they were going to send some boys up here,that you and your friends would get some of them to be with you.It always happens that way in the movies."
Erica opened her mouth to say something,but nothing wanted to come out.She looked over at Jack,who had this stupid grin on his face.She could tell that he was enjoying this quite a bit.He wasn't exactly lying to her parents,but he wasn't exactly saying ,much,either.
Jack looked saw Erica's silent plead for help,so he sighed and ended his few moments of glory."I'm sorry,Mr. and Mrs. Evans.but I'm not Tw- er Erica's boyfriend." Her parents laughed and her mom said,"Oh,we already know that,Jack."
"Say what?" Erica finally said,turning hermother over to look at her."Your little friends told us that you two are still in denial,dear.They asked us if we could melt the ice for you two." Erica was speechless,again. As for Jack,he was secretly thankfull for having such loudmouthed friends.
Nicole's little brother,John,was being his usual self.He had made it his goal for the day to get Blink's eye patch off to see what was under it.Nicole had to constantly keep her eyes on both of them.Blink had his hand on her brother's forhead,holding him back from getting another step closer to him.
"So Mrs.Lopez," he began,"I see that you have a very...energetic family.I mean,I've seen So- er Nicole play soccer before,she's really good.Does John here play anything?" Mrs.Lopez smiled and nodded."He plays soccer,too.Nicole and Cory used to take him to his practices while they were still going out.Oh,Cory was such a nice boy,what ever happened to him,hunny?"
Blink raised his eyebrow and looked at Nicole with a questionale look."Yeah Nicole,what ever happened to...Cory?" Nicole sighed and made a mental note to kill her mother."Oh,you know Cory,Blink.He's in our homeroom class,one of the people that I play soccer with,too."
Blink thought about it for a moment,then frowned."Oh,you mean Kicks,right?"Nicole nodded and gave her mom a deadly look.Her father just sat there,amuzed at what was going on.
Vanessa clung to Mush's arm,making it clear to her sisters that he was her's,not one of their little bvoy toys which they often had."Jeeze,I;ve never seen Nessa like this before.She must really like you." Eddie,her little brother,said to Mush.
He grinned as he looked down at the girl in his arms.She was still giving her two sisters the death glare,so she didn't really notice that he was staring."Why is your name Mush?" Lizzet,Vaneesa's neace,asked him.
"Oh,well when I lived in New York-"
"You lived in New York?COOL!" Eddie interupted.
"Uh...yeah?But anyways,when I lived in New York,me and my friends were all orphans and-"
"You're an orphan?" Lizet said,once again interupting him.
Mush sighed and decided to make his long story short.
"My skin looks like mush,so they decided to call me that."
The two little kids smiled at him and said,"Ok,that's all you had to say,you know."
~Down the Hall and Around the Corner~
Misty sat alone in her room,trying to figure out how to work her new radio.David's note to her sat folded at the opposite end of her bed.At the very end of it,he had said that when he was little,he loved to listen to the radio,especially his grandfather's.He wrote in the note that he wanted to teach something's about him to her,that way he wouldn't be such a bad guy in her mind.
She had been thinking all day of who she was going to bring with her to Six Flags,but as she thought more and more about it,the worse she felt about the way that she had treated David.He was trying to be so nice to her,and yet she had made it worse every time that they saw each other.
She sighed and set the radio on her nightstand."I'm getting too soft on this kid..."
~Even More Down the Hall~
Everyone had exchanged their gifts to each other,except for Ershey.She was debating weather or not to go give Skittery his gift,when she heard a knock at the door.Since no one made any movement to get it,she sighed and decided that she would be the lucky one.
To her surprise,it was Skittery himself.His face awas all red and he had this really determined look on his face."Hi Skitts!" Ershey smiled and gave him a hug,makinghis face turn even redder,if possible.
"Uh...C-Can I talk wit- uh with you?" he tried to sound really calm,even though he wasn't.Ershey nodded and grabbed her coat,yelling to her family that she would be right back.
Skittery lead her down the hall and towards the elevator."What was it that you wanted to tell me?"Ershey kept her cool smile on her face,hoping to help him be more calm.Skittery looked away from her and answered,"I...wanted to show you something...but it's outside."
The two made their way towards the exit door and out in to the VERY cold weather.He lead her around the school and towards it's privet park and under one of it's biggest trees.Ershey's teeth began to chatter because of the cold weather,so Skittery gave her his sweatshirt.
"You don't have to-" but she was cut off when she felt the wormthness of his lips pressed against hers.At first,she was a bit surprised,but as the kiss deepened,she began to melt in his arms.He pulled away and smiled."Merry Christmas..."She looked up and grinned when she saw that the tree was strung with Mistle Toe.
~Inside the Dorm~
Specs,Boots,Pie Eater and Jake had all decided to go visit David,Duchy,and the rest of their old friends,so Shane and Greg were left with Cory and he others,who had still refused to go back to their own rooms.
"Arn't your parents going to be mad when they see that you guys arn't there?"Greg asked,throwing a black sweatshirt over his head.Cory shrugged and answered,"I don't know...But I don't really care,either."
Shane grinned,an idea comming to him."Hey guys?"They all looked over at him,all raised eyebrows."How bout we go see how the girls are doing?I mean,it is Christmas and we are the only boys in the school who have known them for over elevan years."
Jeovani,Chris, and Erik all said at once,"But I've only known them for four years."Shane shrugged and looked over at Alfrado,Greg and Aaron."So?They've only them for nine years,but that's ok.We've still known them the longest."
"Why do you want to go see them so much,Shane?" Cory asked,looking through one of Boot's dresser doors for a bag of chips.Shane grinned and said,"Becka's dad still owes us chips,remember?"Cory smiled and stopped his search."Yeah...but what if he didn't bring them?And what are we supposed to say when we get there?"
Shane shrugged,again."Umm..." Jeovani raised his hand and said,"We could tell them the truth..."Aaron raised his eyebrow and answered,"So you want us to go over there and tell them that we want to know why they're only haging out with those New York boys and not us?"
Erik through his slipper at Aaron and said,"No stupid!He means that we should go over there and tell them that some of us...miss them a little..." Cory and Alfrado gave each other weird looks."Oh that's right." Chris said,finally joinning in on the conversation."You two dated some of them,huh?So what do you think their dad's will say to you?"
They both shrugged and Cory grinned."There's only one way to find out."
~Back to the First Room~
Spot and Becka's father had both tried to avoid contact for the rest of the day,Lisa had to keep her sisters away from Racetrack before they blew his mind up with questions,Abby had to keep her "death glare" at all times when her brother and sister were talking to Swifty,Erica had to keep her parents from talking to Jack and giving him any ideas,Nicole had to keep her brother away from Blink and his patch,and Vanessa had to keep her family away from Mush at all times.
It was getting late as the parents all slowly began to drift off to sleep.Spot decided to take his chance now,before any of them decided to wake up.He took Becka's hand,put a finger to his lips and lead her out the door.
"I still have one more present for you,Shot."(a/n:Shot is short for HotShot,ok?)he to her as they walked towards the elevator.Becka smiled and was about to say something,when she heard the familiar voice of an old friend.
"Becka?Is that you?" she turned her head and gasped when she saw Aaron and Alfado,the rest of the boys not too far behind them.She smiled and let go of Spot's hand,making him put his silent 'alarm' button on.She gave the two a hug and said,"Were have you guys been?I have't seen you since...forvever!"
Jeovani and Erik each took a step closer."We just thought that we'd come and say Merry Christmas to you guys,maybe grab a few chips,hang out and then go back to our rooms.But were are YOU going with him?"Erik pointed at Spot after making his statement.
Spot stepped closer to the group,keeping a cold look in his eyes.He had never seen these boys before,so why were they hanging around HIS girl?"I'm Spot Conlon,HotShot's boyfriend."Becka smiled and took his hand,again.
None of the boys spoke a word.For as long as they had all none Becka,she had only had a few boyfriends and none of them had ever met her parents.Cory cleared his throat and said,"Wait a minuet here...He's your boyfriend,right?"
Spot and Becka both nodded in unison."Have your mom and dad met him?"Becka nodded and again,making half of the boys gasp.Jeovani and Aaron both gave Spot a "death-type" glare,even though Spot's scared the living hell out of them both.
"Well," Becka began, "the other's are still in our room,so you guys can go say hi to them.We're going out for a while.We'll be back later."And with that said,they both walked into the elevator and went up.
Greg coughed and said,"Our little girl is growing up!" They all laughed and headed down the hall to go annoy the others.
~At the Top Level~
Becka and Spot walked out and took in the cold breeze of the night.The roof pool was covered up and there was snow everywhere.Spot sat down on one of the benches,patting the seat next to him.Becka made her way there,trying to figer out what he was going to give her.
Spot looked away as a slight blush came to his face."Um...HotShot?" Becka smiled and tried to look at his face,but failed."I umm..." he took in a deep breath and took the silver chain with the key at the end off of his neck and held it out to her.
"I wanted to give this to you...It's the key to Brooklyn,my home..." Becka stared at the necklace in wonder before taking it from his hand and giving it a closer look."Wow...The key to Brooklyn?I've alwayswanted to see Brookyln..."She put it around her neck and gave Spot a huge smile.
"Thank you,Spot.I'll always keep it."He smiled as one of his eyes looked up at her."There's one more thing,too..." He finally looked up at her and closed the distance between them,sealing her gift with their first kiss.

"Merry Christmas!"The boys "sang" in unison as the door swung open.Becka's eyes widened when she saw Spot.He wasn't wearing his usual black clothes and chains,like he always did when they didn't have to go to class,but instead he was wearing a bright red shirt that said,"There!I'm officially into the Christmas Spirit!" and some dark green baggy pants.

Jeovani,Chris, and Erik all said at once,"But I've only known them for four years."Shane shrugged and looked over at Alfrado,Greg and Aaron."So?They've only them for nine years,but that's ok.We've still known them the longest."
"Why do you want to go see them so much,Shane?" Cory asked,looking through one of Boot's dresser doors for a bag of chips.Shane grinned and said,"Becka's dad still owes us chips,remember?"Cory smiled and stopped his search."Yeah...but what if he didn't bring them?And what are we supposed to say when we get there?"
Shane shrugged,again."Umm..." Jeovani raised his hand and said,"We could tell them the truth..."Aaron raised his eyebrow and answered,"So you want us to go over there and tell them that we want to know why they're only haging out with those New York boys and not us?"
Erik through his slipper at Aaron and said,"No stupid!He means that we should go over there and tell them that some of us...miss them a little..." Cory and Alfrado gave each other weird looks."Oh that's right." Chris said,finally joinning in on the conversation."You two dated some of them,huh?So what do you think their dad's will say to you?"
They both shrugged and Cory grinned."There's only one way to find out."
~Back to the First Room~
Spot and Becka's father had both tried to avoid contact for the rest of the day,Lisa had to keep her sisters away from Racetrack before they blew his mind up with questions,Abby had to keep her "death glare" at all times when her brother and sister were talking to Swifty,Erica had to keep her parents from talking to Jack and giving him any ideas,Nicole had to keep her brother away from Blink and his patch,and Vanessa had to keep her family away from Mush at all times.
It was getting late as the parents all slowly began to drift off to sleep.Spot decided to take his chance now,before any of them decided to wake up.He took Becka's hand,put a finger to his lips and lead her out the door.
"I still have one more present for you,Shot."(a/n:Shot is short for HotShot,ok?)he to her as they walked towards the elevator.Becka smiled and was about to say something,when she heard the familiar voice of an old friend.
"Becka?Is that you?" she turned her head and gasped when she saw Aaron and Alfado,the rest of the boys not too far behind them.She smiled and let go of Spot's hand,making him put his silent 'alarm' button on.She gave the two a hug and said,"Were have you guys been?I have't seen you since...forvever!"
Jeovani and Erik each took a step closer."We just thought that we'd come and say Merry Christmas to you guys,maybe grab a few chips,hang out and then go back to our rooms.But were are YOU going with him?"Erik pointed at Spot after making his statement.
Spot stepped closer to the group,keeping a cold look in his eyes.He had never seen these boys before,so why were they hanging around HIS girl?"I'm Spot Conlon,HotShot's boyfriend."Becka smiled and took his hand,again.
None of the boys spoke a word.For as long as they had all none Becka,she had only had a few boyfriends and none of them had ever met her parents.Cory cleared his throat and said,"Wait a minuet here...He's your boyfriend,right?"
Spot and Becka both nodded in unison."Have your mom and dad met him?"Becka nodded and again,making half of the boys gasp.Jeovani and Aaron both gave Spot a "death-type" glare,even though Spot's scared the living hell out of them both.
"Well," Becka began, "the other's are still in our room,so you guys can go say hi to them.We're going out for a while.We'll be back later."And with that said,they both walked into the elevator and went up.
Greg coughed and said,"Our little girl is growing up!" They all laughed and headed down the hall to go annoy the others.
~At the Top Level~
Becka and Spot walked out and took in the cold breeze of the night.The roof pool was covered up and there was snow everywhere.Spot sat down on one of the benches,patting the seat next to him.Becka made her way there,trying to figer out what he was going to give her.
Spot looked away as a slight blush came to his face."Um...HotShot?" Becka smiled and tried to look at his face,but failed."I umm..." he took in a deep breath and took the silver chain with the key at the end off of his neck and held it out to her.
"I wanted to give this to you...It's the key to Brooklyn,my home..." Becka stared at the necklace in wonder before taking it from his hand and giving it a closer look."Wow...The key to Brooklyn?I've alwayswanted to see Brookyln..."She put it around her neck and gave Spot a huge smile.
"Thank you,Spot.I'll always keep it."He smiled as one of his eyes looked up at her."There's one more thing,too..." He finally looked up at her and closed the distance between them,sealing her gift with their first kiss.
