Christmas Day!

Onyx yawned and woke up, he felt a bitter pain in his chest and sighed, he got up, grabbed a brush and smoothed out his ruffled fur. His sun shone out on his forehead and he walked out the room.

"The sooner this day goes, they happier I'll be," Onyx muttered, he didn't hear anyone so he guessed they were either sleeping or in the kids cases, searching through presents to find theirs. Onyx did hear some voices in the main room as he headed down the hall, he opened up and door and was pretty surprised. The room did indeed have all the kids in them, and they were laughing, it was his first Christmas with kids, so it came to a little shock to see them happy and cheery.

"Hi Onyx," Malachite greeted, walking over with a present under his arm, Onyx shook his head and snapped back into reality.

"Oh, Hey Mal, having fun?" Onyx asked, looking at the present, he recognized the handwriting on the card, but couldn't remember who wrote like that.

"Yeah, oh, this is for you, just appeared last night," Malachite held out the present and Onyx took it, he read the card and his eyes widened. "Onyx?"

"This...is from my mum and dad...but...how did they know I stayed here...I never told them..." Onyx gasped, he slowly opened up some of it and tried and failed to hide a grin.

"I know THAT grin!" Jet panicked, "W-What did they get ya?" Onyx grinned and showed Jet and she screamed in delight, "They gave you one! YES!" Jet did a small victory dance and hugged Onyx, for once, he let it slide.

"I know...who do ya wanna kill first?" Onyx asked

"Um...there was one of those nobles back home that annoys me like (bleep)," Jet started, Onyx nodded.

"Then you can borrow this!" Onyx handed her the box, holding (guess what!) a Bazooka! Yes! A Bazooka! Fresh of the line! More fire power, more destruction...more fun!

"W00T!" Jet took it and ported away, there was a loud bang and she reappeared, covered in black soot and she laughed. "I LOVE this thing!" Onyx laughed.

"I bet ya do!" Onyx chuckled. Jet handed him the box and he put it down.

"And you say Christmas is just another crummy idea for giving stuff away!" Jet teased

"...It is...but when it comes to me and weapons...ya better run!" Onyx replied. The others walked in, Onyx quickly turned back into a grump and Jet sighed.

"Oh! Hi Onyx!" Ichigo greeted, she flew over and hovered at his height. Onyx gave her a flat look.

"Hi," Onyx said simply. He walked off and he was jumped on by some kids. "WHOA! Spinel! Petalite!" Onyx was forced to laugh, he couldn't help it. Jet then had a thought.

"Onyx...in the past 15 years...did you spend Christmas alone?" Jet asked, Onyx rose an eyebrow and nodded. Jet's eyes brightened up. "Then THAT'S your problem!"

"WHAT problem?" Onyx growled, Jet sighed.

"Even back at the palace you always locked yourself away! You never spent Christmas after that accident with anyone after that! And that is your problem! You are happier now as you are surrounded by people!" Jet answered. Onyx sighed

"I highly doubt that," Onyx replied

"Oh? Then why are ya smiling? Laughing? Having a good time?" Jet asked, Onyx didn't reply and she smiled. She hugged Onyx and he raised an eyebrow

"What...are...you...doing," Onyx asked, Jet smiled

"A Christmas hug!" Jet replied, smiling.

"Um...ok," Onyx replied, then he stood up and Krystal hugged him, he blushed slightly. Emerald grabbed some mistletoe and held it above random people. One of those people were Citrine and Nova.

"Emerald!" Citrine yelled.

"It's bad luck to refuse a kiss under mistletoe!" Emerald chanted, Citrine growled and sighed, he gave Nova a quick kiss and walked off. Emerald then flew over to Amethyst, waited for a boy, being Antauri, and floated over theirs heads, with mistletoe on hand. Antauri looked at her flatly.

"Emerald," Antauri said sternly

"Ichigo won't mind! Will you Ichi!" Emerald looked over at Ichigo, she smiled.

"Well...it's ok by me," Ichigo said, Antauri sighed.

"Do I have to do this?" he asked, Emerald nodded and he sighed again, gave Amethyst a quick kiss and rushed off to Ichi and kissed her deeply, Amethyst looked at him and smiled and sat down.

"Who next?" Emerald mused, she did a few more people, Ruby would have killed her if she did it to her so she avoided her. After a while only two people were left. Onyx and Ichigo. She grinned and floated above them.

"WHAT?" Onyx yelled, "No way! No Wa-" he froze when Ichi gave him a peck on the cheek. He blinked and Ichigo smiled and walked away. Onyx stood there for a bit longer before walking away.

"Aww, that is so cute!" Jet whispered. Then, Caitlyn appeared, and beside her was a 5'8 foot boy, black hair and brown eyes.

"Who's...that?" Ryou asked nervously.

"That? That is my brother! Andrew but call him Brycey!" Caitlyn replied. Amanda appeared from behind him with a boy, a fairy, pale blue eyes, scruffy hair and clinging to his arm is Whitefairy, grinning ear to ear.

"HI! Amanda is on tha hoose! And this is my bro, Jonathan," Amanda beamed. The Hyperforce sweat dropped at the pair as they carried Sprite and Irn-Bru. Ryou took Cait's hand and gently led her out the room.

"What is it Ryou?" Caitlyn asked, kissing him gently. Ryou took a deep breath.

"Cait, I know you and me are very close, and I love you more than anything in the universe," Ryou started. Caitlyn smiled and nodded. "I-I just wanted to ask you..." Ryou took out a small box. "Will...you marry me?" Ryou got down one knee and Caitlyn's eyes were filled with shock, then when it sank in her eyes watered up slightly and a smile appeared on her face, she hugged him.

"Yes! Oh god yes!" Caitlyn blurted out, she cried with tears of happiness and Ryou held her close, putting the small black diamond ring on her finger and smiled. After a while they walked back into the main room.

"What were you two up to?" Jet asked, Caitlyn smiled.

"Me and Ryou...are getting married!" Caitlyn replied, Jet squealed in delight and hugged her.

"Oh My god! Congratulations!" Jet squealed, Caitlyn laughed and all the Stripe Team ran over and started talking to her at once, all excited, Onyx had to smile, brycey...was eating Fudge Doughnuts...Onyx's to be exact.

"HEY!" Onyx yelled and chased Brycey all over the place. Everyone had to laugh and Onyx had changed over that one day!...He never trusted Brycey with his fudge doughnuts again!

Me: THERE!

Jet: your getting married! YAY!

Onyx: go Ryou!

Ryou: (blushes)

Malachite: (laughs) ok! The moral of this is...

All Muses and me: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
