Disclaimer – I do not own the WWE or any of it's characters nor do I own the wrestlers themselves. If it did, I would be a very happy rich woman married to Adam Copeland...but sadly (tear) I am broke college student and if you sue me you will get a half-eaten bag of cookies and an Abercrombie sweater.
On The First Day of Christmas
"Amy come on the mall calls!" Trish yelled as she walked into her friends room this time adorned in a red sweater with a furry white trim, a black skirt, black boots, and Christmas wreath earrings.
"Why don't you guys go and pick something out for me," Amy grumbled as she walked out of the bathroom. "It's not like this stupid Secret Santa thing was my idea anyways."
"No but your still going to participate in this festivity for your friends," Stacy said. "It's tradition and besides, it'll be fun."
"About as fun as it will be to try and take those damn lights off Jeff's house," Amy sighed grabbing her purse.
"Oh come on Amy, get into the spirit, I'm sure after we get a Gingerbread Latte in you you'll be loving this whole thing!" Nidia put a hand on Amy's shoulder trying to cheer her up as she handed the red head her coat.
"Fine but I'm not buying my own coffee."
-At the mall-
"Are you sure Trish needs coffee?" Amy asked as she eyed the blonde who was downing her Eggnog Latte like it was the sweet nectar of life. "I mean she seems perky enough as it is."
"I tried to tell her that but she insisted that she needed caffeine." Nidia sighed.
"Well don't worry because I asked the barista to make sure she got decaf," Stacy assured the girls.
"Okay where to first?" Trish asked.
"I don't know," Nidia said getting up with her coffee, "I have no idea what to get for my person."
"Maybe I can help," Stacy offered. "Who do you have?"
"I can't tell you that, it's supposed to be a secret!"
"Then how are you going to figure out what to get for your Secret Santa?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know but I'll figure it out!"
"I still don't see why you just won't tell me," Stacy crossed her arms, "unless it's me...Ooh! Is it me? It's me!"
"It's not you!" Nidia argued.
"It's gotta be me if you won't tell me." Stacy beamed.
"Oh come on!" Amy interrupted. "I drew Adam what should I get him?"
"Hey you're supposed to keep it a secret!" Trish pointed out.
"I don't care! I'm horrible at buying gifts and despite the fact that whoever got me is going to give me a bunch of gifts I won't even like, Adam should still get something nice." Amy rolled her eyes at Trish as she took another sip of her latte.
"Well in that case let's go shopping!" Nidia said pulling everyone else up.
Elsewhere in the mall Adam, Jay, and Chris were all standing in front of a window display looking very clueless.
"So who did you get man?" Chris asked Jay.
"Lisa, you?"
"Trish," Chris smiled, "Wanna switch?"
"Of course dude!" The two gave each other a high five as Adam watched in near shock.
"You can't do that!" He managed to get out.
"Course we can." Chris said nonchalantly.
"Yeah it's not like the girls will find out," Jay said with a smile.
"Besides, Trish is Jay's girlfriend," Chris reasoned, "and I've had a thing for Lisa for the longest time."
"See, my switching is the best gift I could give her."
"You guys amaze me." Adam said shaking his head as he walked down to the next store.
"Well Mr. Humbug, who do you have?" Jay asked.
"If you must know," he started with a sigh, "I have Amy and I have no clue what to get her."
"Of course you do!" Chris said with an encouraging slap on the back. "Just think of Amy and what would make her smile."
"It's not that easy," Adam sighed.
"Sure it is!" Jay piped in. "Just try it."
"Fine but it's not going to wor..."Adam looked up at the store he was standing in front of and smiled. He knew exactly what to start off with.
"Guys it's hopeless, we've been to nearly every store in the mall and I'm no closer to finding something for Adam." Amy sighed as they continued to walk through the mall.
"Don't worry, you'll find something," Stacy said smiling. In all honesty no body but Trish had too much luck with the shopping.
"Yeah, we've got one more wing of the mall left" Trish cheered. Obviously the barista did not switch her to decaf.
"I don't think we'll have any more luck there than we have..." Amy suddenly stopped as she saw the perfect store to find a gift for Adam. With the first true smiled she had all day; Amy took off for the store.
"That's the spirit Amy!" Trish said happily as they all followed the red head.
-At the arena-
"Amy you were totally on for that match tonight!" Lisa said happily.
"I know it was great!" She agreed. "Now I just can't wait until the pay per view."
"Well, you'll deserve to get that gold back. Hey what's that?" Lisa pointed to what looked like a small cardboard pet carrier.
"I don't know." Amy said moving closer to investigate. Tied around the box was a large red ribbon with a tag hat read, 'For: Amy From:???' Looking closer at the box she could tell it came from the Build-A-Bear Workshop. Carefully she undid the ribbon and gasped as she saw what was in the box.
"Is that..." Lisa started in shock.
"Max, the little dog from How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Amy held up the small stuffed dog smiled at the antler and the sweater he was wearing.
"Look, a note." Lisa reached in the box and pulled out the note and handed it to Amy.
"For the one our friends call 'Grinch' because every Grinch needs a Max to melt their heart. Here's hoping you have a Merry Christmas. From you Secret Santa." Amy read the note aloud as she held the stuffed doge closer. Lisa couldn't help but smile. The plan was working.
-Elsewhere in the arena-
"And a partridge in a pear tree!" Chris and Jay sang loudly as Adam rubbed his temples as the tree entered their locker room.
"Aspirin, dear lord I need Aspirin," Adam groaned.
"I think he wants to hear another round." Jay said with a smile.
"I agree," Chris beamed. "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...hey what's that?"
"That's not how it goes. It's supposed to be a partridge in a pear tree." Jay said scratching his head.
"I meant what's that." Chris pointed to a shiny bag sitting next to Adam's bag.
"Ooh a present! Who's if for," Jay said jumping up and down. Adam grabbed the bag and read the tag.
"It's for me," Jay frowned noticeably.
"Well don't just sit there, open it!" Chris said. Adam pulled the paper out of the bag to reveal a dark brown leather guitar strap. He held it up to examine it and found it had several Celtic suns burned into it matching his tattoo.
"Wow." Seemed to be the only response Adam could come up with. He searched the bag for a card but found nothing.
"I wonder who has you," Jay said aloud as Chris tried not to laugh.
Author's notes part two – Ok I don't want anyone to think this fic is anywhere near over. This is just the first gift in a long line of things to come. As far as what time it is in the fic, I would say the first week of December.
