A Marmalade Christmas

Author notes: This fanfic takes place during the Christmas of volume five. It didn't show what happened between Meiko and Satoshi. This is my idea of what happened.

Chapter one
"Yay! Christmas is here. I heard that it's going to be a white Christmas this year!" Miki was excited to get out for winter break. "What are you going to do over the vacation, Meiko?"
"I'm going to write a report about Updike. Christmas was never really a big holiday at my house." Meiko thought about all that has happen already. "I miss him though. This is going to be the first Christmas without Nachan." Meiko eyes started to water. "I haven't seen him or talked to him since that day at the train station. Every Christmas, Nachan and I would look through photos of past Christmases (AN: Is that a word?). Oh, I shouldn't be sad. The past is in the past."
Miki comforted Meiko, but she didn't really know what to say. She barely knew that Meiko and Nachan was together. "Lets go home." They started walking until..."Oh wait, I told Yuu I would wait for him. I wonder where he is." Miki looked around and saw Yuu running towards her. Next to him was Satoshi walking carelessly. "Hey Yuu. You're late."
"Sorry. Satoshi had to tell me something." (AN: Satoshi was telling Yuu that his cousin was coming to visit, but before Satoshi could finish, Yuu saw the time and started running.) Yuu was breathing hard, trying to catch his breath. Satoshi had finally arrived.
"Hey Miki. Hi Meiko!" He leaned in towards Meiko. "Wanna do something during the Christmas break?" Satoshi leaned even closer.
"You asked me before and my answer is still no." (AN: Vol. 5 in the library) Meiko was trying to hide behind Miki and avoided eye contact with Satoshi. "I'm busy!"
"Ouch, brushed off! You should just give up, Satoshi!" Yuu was laughing now at how hard Satoshi was trying. "Lets go home you guys."
Meiko stood on the opposite side of Satoshi. Like the following: Meiko,Miki,Yuu,Satoshi They talked about some presents that they had on their Christmas list.
"I really want a metal dance pad for my DDR game, but I'm happy as long as I get a gift from Meiko!" Satoshi was a DDR freak. That's how he maintains his six pack. (AN: Inside joke. Hehe )
"Let me think...a gift from me?" Meiko was comtemplating about whether or not she should really give him a gift. "I'm not going to give you a metal dance pad. They're way too expansive! How about a kiss?"
"YAY!!!" Satoshi was the happiest guy in the world for that one moment...
"Psyche! Only in your wildest dream will I ever kiss you!" Everyone started snickering. "But I might get you a gift." Meiko didn't know what gift to get him though.
"What kind of gift do you want, Meiko?" Miki always got her a gift, but never one too expensive. She was always low on cash.
"Um...I don't really care too much about gifts. As long as I get to finish that report, I'm happy!" Meiko had a joyous look on her face, but Satoshi felt as though she was only acting. Nachan probably gave Meiko some of the best presents ever...it must give her pain to even think about gifts.
"Well, here's my turn. See you guys later!" Satoshi was still thinking hard as to what to give Meiko. "Maybe a book writen by Updike! Wait, I have no idea what kind of stories he write."
"Ja ne, Satoshi. Maybe we'll do something over Christmas!" Yuu looked as cheerful as always. Meiko looked almost completely the opposite. Going through Christmas alone must be killing her. "Meiko, is Satoshi really that bad of a guy? I know he's kind of a playboy around school, but once you get to know him, he's not that bad."
Meiko recalled the memory of their unofficial "date" after the movie, when Satoshi took Meiko to get some cake. That was also when he kissed her. She couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. Meiko then started to blush.
"What's wrong Meiko? Are you ok?" Miki was waving her hand infront of Meiko's face. "Meiko? You awake? You haven't said anything."
"Um...yeah, I'm fine. I just remembered something strange." They had reached Meiko's house. "Well, see you guys some other time. Ja!" Meiko was still thinking about that kiss. She was right where the kiss happened, in front of her house.
"Ja, Meiko! I'll get you something nice for Christmas!" Miki turned over to Yuu. "Do you think Meiko was acting kinda strange today?"
"No, why?" Yuu was clueless.
"No reason in particular. Maybe it's just me." Miki and Yuu continued walking home. "Wanna get some hot chocolate when we get home?"
"Sure!" Miki and Yuu were in the far distant now. Meiko was looking outside her window, wondering when she will find true love again.
