A/N: I think this may be the last chapter... well, thanks to all who reviewed, and I apologize to the fans waiting for the shonen/shojo ai version. It's been cut from my planning, and I'm going to write a special Valentine's Day fanfic. And besides that, I actually needed a break from it and go straight. Can you believe that?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything somebody else does.

A ToS Christmas

"That would be game, yes?" Presea laid down her last card, and Raine and Regal groaned as Colette clapped.

"Yup. Good job Presea!"

"Thank you."

"Are they dead?" Regal looked at the others lying on the floor.

". . . Maybe." The teacher laughed.

"Presea-a-a-a..." a voice groaned.

The axewoman walked over to Genis, who was lying on his side. She knelt beside him and pulled his shoulder slightly with a hand. "Genis?"

"Ah, Preseaaaaa..." He rolled over, and his head rolled onto her lap.

"Genis?..." Confused, Presea simply let him lay in his lap.

"Lloyd?" Realizing that they were on the floor, Colette ran over to Lloyd. He laid flat on his back, limbs spread out like a starfish. "Lloyd, are you okay?"

Regaining consciousness, Lloyd saw her figure hovering over him, but mistook it for his dream. "Colette..." His hands held her chin. "I love you..."

"Huh?" Looking at him funny, it finally occurred to Lloyd that he had came back from his visit in dreamyland.

"Uh, uh..." His face quickly flushed wildly. Oh well. It was out now, so might as well say it. "I said... I love you."

"Umm... Me... too..."

"Really?"

"Yeah." She collapsed into his arms and buried her face in her chest. Wrapping his arms around her, Lloyd still flushed, but smiled.

Meanwhile, Zelos woke with a bump on his head. "Oh man--" and continued with some quiet cussing and swearing. "What happened?-- Oh yeah. Twerp started it." He saw a figure lying right by him, and something clicked in his mind. "Ah, I know what I wanted to do!" Pulling out something out of from under his belt, he grabbed some tape from the tabletop and taped it above him. (Yes, under his belt, not in his pants, you perverts. I checked to see if he had pockets, but he didn't have any.)

"Sheena... I know you can hear me." He tugged on her shoulder. "Sheeeena..."

"What, huh?" Waking up, she looked up to his face. "What?" she said with more firm tone.

"Look up."

"So? It's your face, and it's bothering me."

He shifted enough so she could see what was taped above.

"Mistletoe? What's mistletoe doing under the table-- ZELOS!"

"Now you can't resist me! Or you're breaking tradition! You don't want to do that, do you?"

". . . Fine. But only a kiss, and it doesn't mean anything!"

"Sure, that's what they all say before they get a taste of my sugar." Zelos held her head and pressed his lips against hers. And although she couldn't really get out of it, she had no desire to, and they kept at it for a minute or two before breaking off.

"Well?"

"I, uh, uhh..." Sheena found that it had been more than a kiss. The feelings she had been keeping back against the Chosen were now released into the open. There was really nothing more to do than to take another lunge at him, Zelos totally caught off guard.

Meanwhile, Raine and Regal were forced together, feeling very odd. Turning to Regal, the teacher commented. "Well... this is strange. We're the only two who haven't engaged in any sort of... ::ahem:: activity."

"Are you suggesting they're being immoral?"

"No, no, I'm just saying..." She coughed again. "You know, we're stuck in the room with all the clichéd pairings together. Colloyd, Gesea, Sheelos..."

"Ah, what are you talking about?"

She blinked. "That's a good question... what is forcing this... gibberish from me?"

The authoress snickered. This was really amusing at 11:18 at night.

"Anyway, we have a chance to make a relationship that no one would figure that would ever happen! How many people have written Rainegal?"

"I don't think any. Is Rainegal even a Tales of Symphonia pairing term?"

They both looked at each other in confusion. What the hell were they talking about?

Covering her mouth with a hand, the authoress had to suppress her laughter before moving on to write the lamest excuse for an ending ever.

"Well, shall we?"

"You, and me? Together?"

"Um, yes."

They both looked at each other. Fear filled their eyes as they both found the same answer. "So wrong."

"Well, this is worse than that romance novel I read, about some girl with cancer and an Amish boy."

"Uh, Amish?"

"Yes, it's a science-fiction novel. It takes place in the future- Amish is the term used for people who don't use the modern world things so they can focus on their God."

"Right."

"This is worse than that. Hm, I know!" A cookie by her side, Raine took it and hit Genis in the head.

He woke up as Presea turned to Raine, who signaled to keep quiet. "Huh... who did that?" He saw he was in Presea's lap, and blushed. "Uh, Presea!"

"Genis?"

"Uh, do you know... um... who threw that cookie?"

"I do not know."

"I see..." He popped up and out of Presea's lap, and saw Zelos and Sheena under the table. (Need I say more?)

"Zelos!"

Breaking off, Zelos turned. "Whaddaya want? Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Busy annoying me!"

"Well, I'm sorry that you can't get a girl."

"Not that! I bet you threw that cookie and then grabbed Sheena and forced her to make out with you! She wouldn't do that!"

"Ah, wouldn't she now? Then who was the one who lunged after me?"

Tired of hearing it, Genis grabbed a half-cookie and chucked it at Zelos.

"Sorry, my beautiful hunny." Crawling out from under the table, he found a whole cookie and aimed it at Genis, missing and hitting Lloyd.

"Hey!" Colette was in his lap as Lloyd sat up. "What's the deal?!"

"Hah, looks like Lloyd's got a girl as well!"

"I, uh, well..." Blink blink. "Wait a sec, you threw that cookie!"

"But it missed Genis--"

"And I missed the wall, but you attacked anyway!" He took a cookie and flung it at Zelos.

"All right, that's it!"

"And the Christmas Cookie War II ensued...

More men ensued in the battle, more lives suffered...

But they all lived and had a good Christmas anyway."

Genki: AH?! You skipped all 934 pages!!

Kratos: It's enough information.

Genki: Nuh HUH! You didn't even tell them about when Zelos went down and Sheena suffered!

Kratos: It was too inappropriate.

Genki: �.� You shall pay for this.

Kratos: o.o; Uh oh...

As cookies flew, a fourteen-year-old girl with blondish hair came in with a familiar man dressed in a Santa suit. The cookies remained on the floor as everyone stared.

"Who... are you?" Lloyd asked.

"I'm Genki!" She gave a giddy smile. "And since you guys don't have presents, I brought some holiday cheer!"

"Oh, please." The man in the suit huffed. "She's only wreaking her revenge on me because I wouldn't read that book."

"It was a good read!"

"Kratos?" They all stared.

"How the heck did you--"

"Uh, he stayed at our house for refuge, and uh, I asked him to read a bedtime story to me, but he wouldn't."

"What are you--"

She kicked him. "Shh!"

"That doesn't make sense! This is too coincidental, what's going on?" Raine demanded.

"Uhh..." Quickly using her authoress powers, Lloyd leaped into Kratos' arms.

"Dad! Uh, what the hell am I doing?"

"I should ask you that."

Genki sniggered. "I'm totally ruining my Christmas story!"

"Oro?" They all said, but then blinked. "Oro?! What the heck is Oro?! How are we talking in unison?!?"

"Okay, now all of you are going to eat pizza and have a pie-eating contest!"

A little elf rushed in with lots of pizzas and pumpkin pies, and then left. All were forced to sit at a giant table that just so happened to appear there, and they ate pizza. Then they all had a pie-eating contest against each other, and Kratos won.

He jumped up and danced. "Oh, yyyeah! I won! I wo--"

Stares came from all around the table.

He cleared his throat and sat down. "I don't know what got into me."

Sitting at the head of the table, Genki clapped.

"Who is that girl?" Genis whispered to Raine.

"No clue. But she's probably annoying readers with adding herself into the story and what am I babbling on about again?!"

"Haha!" Genki laughed, sticking a fork into a piece of pizza and cutting it with a knife. "I eat dainty-like! And Yui isn't here to stop me!"

"Who's this Yui?" Regal asked.

"One of my friends. She yells at me when I use my plasticware at lunch."

"Plastic... ware?"

"Yup, my school gives us plastic forks, knifes and spoons. But their cheese is really good!"

". . . Excuse me?"

"Ah, nevermind. Ranting." She stuffed a piece of cut pizza into her mouth. "I don't like using this method for eating pizza, but I'm doing it because I can't find a spot for an ending."

"I'm so confused! Cut it out and explain!" Genis yelled.

"I can't explain. It's just not explainable. Oh, by the way Raine, I read that dumb book. But I can't remember the title. If only Amish would just use some technology..." she sighed. "But then our community would lose all that money from the tourism, but Amish buggies on the road is so... dull! And then tourists drive reeaally slow to watch people who wear all black and grow on farms and have no technology. Ah, man, I'm ranting again! . . . Are you even listening to me?! HELLO?! Oh wow, you guys remind me of my friends. I start ranting and they ignore it. Not that I don't blame them..."

At this time, Lloyd stood up. "Kratos, I thought you said you weren't going to celebrate with us!"

"I was forced to by this... demon!"

"Settle down, Grasshopper Man!"

"I'm telling you, I'm not a grasshopper!"

"Oh, sure, sure."

"You know, Kratos, you kinda do remind me of a grasshopper..."

"See? Lloyd agrees with me!"

"Yeah, he does!"

"And Colette!"

"Okay, that's it." Kratos grabbed Genki by the hand dragged her out.

"What are you doing?! GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM MY KEYBOARD!! NO! I'M NOT DONE RANTING YET!! KRATOS IS NOT A GRASSHOPPER! YES HE IS, DON'T TYPE THAT!! KRATOS, GIMME MY KEYBOARD BACK, THAT'S MY PRIME SOURCE OF AUTHORESS POWER! DO YOU WANT TO BE FEMININE?! I DIDN'T THINK SO, NOW GIVE ME IT BAAAACK!!"

With that, the door shut.

"It took them that long to get to the door?" Zelos blinked.

"Well, she was struggling."

"True, true..."

"This Christmas is so messed up." Lloyd sighed. "Hey, would someone pass a piece of pizza?"

Genki: Oh my god! My first multi-chapter fanfic is completed! It's a miracle! I'd celebrate if I could, but it's 12:09 AM. O.O;

Kratos: I can't believe I had to type the ending for you.

Genki: But that was fun! Can I ruin some more endings?

Kratos: . . . I guess I can't say no, it is your writing...

Genki: It gave the ending a comedic twist, all right?

Lloyd: What was up with the elf?

Genki: It was the Christmas elf of Pizza and Pie!

Lloyd: Riiight...

Genki: Meep, I didn't eat much today. I bet ::insert older sister's name:: is awake yet too, she has to read a book by tomorrow. XD Haha! ::stomach growls:: Aw, man... I'm so hungry... I forgot to eat or I didn't feel like it.

Lloyd: You didn't feel like... eating?

Genki: I was too lazy to find something I liked, so I forgot that I was hungry.

Lloyd: That's almost as twisted as that pun.

Genki: XD Oh yeah! O.O;; What was that?!

Kratos: What was what? You're getting worked up, go to bed.

Genki: Creepy sounds, creepy sounds! ::cower:: I swear, I thought I heard music coming from somewhere! But the GBA's are both turned off, and nothing's on but this computer!! .o.o. ::whimper::

Kratos: I told you you were getting worked up! Go to bed, NOW.

Genki: ::whimperwhimper:: My chest hurts...

Kratos: If you keep it up, you're going to have a nervous breakdown!

Genki: No! ::clings to computer:: I won't move! Omigawd, I hear footsteps!! WAH!!! Oh god, that hurts! Meep, my chest! I forgot I was hungry! I thought I heard the door open!! What if someone's in the basement?! Are the doors locked?! What if I didn't do all my homework?! ::continues::

Kratos: That's it, you are going to bed. ::pulls Genki away from computer::

Genki: AHH!! Please review!! Uhh, bye! ::cower::
