AN: Yup, there's a clue in this chapter too!
"You moron!" Wanda pitched the CD at Gambit, hitting him squarely on the forehead.
"OW!"
"Did you think I wouldn't figure it out? I mean, you were really smart, very clever actually, to keep me guessing for so long. Quite romantic until you sent me that!" Wanda fumed, pointing at the CD Gambit now held in his hands.
"The Best of Cajun Brass, 11 artists…where'd you get this, chere?"
"From you!"
"Me? Non, Gambit don't own a copy of this. If you don't want it can Remy keep it?"
"Just because you don't own a copy doesn't mean you wouldn't think it's a good present. How many times have girls received pieces of jewelry from their boyfriends that the guy wouldn't wear if you paid him?"
"Good point," Gambit conceded. The CD promptly flew from his hands only to boomerang back at him. "Did I say good point? What I meant was…"
"You slimy, Cajun…snake!"
"Hey now," Gambit defended, "Snakes aren't slimy, frogs are. And if you wand to insult me do it properly; gators are what you need to worry about in the bayou."
"Fine, pond scum," she spat. "Now admit that you've been leaving those gifts on my nightstand."
"Can't do that, chere, because I didn't. If that means we need to fight to the death," he twirled his bo staff.
"No, to the pain."
"Contrary to what you may believe I am familiar with that phrase…Princess Bride, yes?"
Wanda was dumbfounded, "Uh huh," she nodded.
"Well, now that I've rendered you speechless, I'm gonna say this once more. I haven't been sending you any gifts. Now I suggest you go home and get some rest. In any case, you should find out who it is by tomorrow, right?"
"Huh?"
"There's only one last verse in the Twelve Days of Christmas, chere. If he don't reveal himself tomorrow he's a schmuck and I'm sure you'll have enough Christmas spirit to forget about him."
"No, I'm going to have enough spirit to beat it out of someone. Hanukah's over with, I don't have to buy into any more holidays of good cheer."
"Fair enough, just don't come to Gambit to beat it out of, 'cause you've done that already."
"Of course," Wanda smiled sweetly.
