Omake Chapter: A Ranma Club Christmas
(This takes place sometime after Chapter 24)
Saotome complex, living room…
The living room was bustling with activity. That time of year has finally come! Numerous Christmas decorations lined the living room walls: wreathes, wreath lines, tinsel, lights, anything. The girls of the Winx Club and the Pixies were helping to decorate the room. Kiko and Piff were sitting on the coffee table eating a candy cane.
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!" Zing sang as she hung up a wreathe line.
"Looks line Zing is in the spirit!" said Bloom.
Flora had finished setting up the eight-foot tree. Fortunately, the room was tall enough for it. "This tree will look very beautiful once decorated!"
"Then let's get started!" said Chatta as she flew in with the other Pixies, each carrying an ornament.
"Careful with those! They could be fragile!" said Musa as she was decorating the tree.
"No worries, Musa. I'll see to it they be kept in line!" said Tune.
"Don't be TOO rough on them…"
It was then that Nodoka came into the room. "Very well done, girls. It looks great!"
"It's no trouble at all, Saotome-sensei." Said Tecna.
"Yeah! It's quite enjoyable, in fact!" added Stella.
"I'm glad to hear it."
"Uh, Saotome-sensei? If I may ask, doesn't it seem like this place is missing something?" asked Bloom.
Nodoka considers Bloom's question and looks about the room. "Not that I know of. What?"
"Well, on a Christmas winter like this, it would be fitting to have a fireplace, right?" said Bloom.
Nodoka snaps her fingers. "Oh, that's right! It would only be proper, now wouldn't it?" She looks towards an empty wall area and focuses her powers. "Construdiga!"
The wall suddenly started to change shape and created an old fashioned brick-layed fireplace six and a half feet wide and three feet tall. The girls were impressed.
"Wow, that was awesome, Saotome-sensei!" said Layla.
"Thank you, Layla." said Nodoka. "How's this?"
"It's perfect!" replied Bloom.
Outside, moments before…
Ranma was on top of the snow-covered roof setting up the lights. He had just finished up lining the roof's outer edges and set up another set of lights in the form of "Merry Christmas" in kanji.
"That ought to do it…" said Ranma.
He turns to hear a noise behind him.
"What the…?" Right there, a chimney pops out of the roof, startling him. "A chimney? Mom must be remodeling…"
He walks over to the chimney and sticks his head into it, peering down. Ranma was able to hear the voices of Nodoka and the girls.
"How's this?"
"It's perfect!"
Ranma could only chuckle. "They must be expecting Mr. Santa."
Just outside the front door, Shampoo and Ukyou walk by and see Ranma from behind, sticking his head into the chimney.
"Aiya! Ranma!"
"Ran-chan, what are you doing?"
The sudden shouts startled Ranma which caused him to fall down headfirst into the chimney. "Whoa!!!"
Living room…
"Huh? Do any of you hear something?" asked Stella.
Nodoka and the girls gathered around the fireplace and heard a familiar scream. Something, or rather someone, crashed into the fireplace, kicking up a cloud of soot. After a bit of coughing, the soot settled down.
"Ranma!?" the girls chorused.
"Ehehe… um… ho ho ho?" said Ranma awkwardly.
"Ranma! Are you all right?" asked Flora.
"Yeah, thanks, It was my fault. I just peered into this chimney that just appeared and I fell through…"
"Sorry about that, son." Said Nodoka. "I added that chimney there to suit the occasion."
"I'm just glad that you're all right." Said Bloom. "For a moment, I thought Santa came early this year!"
"Or perhaps he's our secret Santa, Bloom!" said Stella.
Ranma could only scratch the back of his head nervously as he gets out of the fireplace. 'Yeah… secret Santa…'
"Hello, everyone!"
Everyone turned to see Shampoo and Ukyou walk into the house. Each girl carried a few gift boxes.
"Hey, girlfriends!" said Musa.
"Ukyou! Shampoo! Just in time!" greeted Nodoka.
The two martial artists nodded and saw the soot covered Ranma.
"Ranma? You okay?" asked Shampoo.
"Yeah, you took a nasty fall down there…" said Ukyou.
"Don't worry, I've handled worse." Replied Ranma.
"Shampoo not know there was chimney." Said Shampoo.
"It's just a little addition of mine, dear." Said Nodoka.
"Oh right! For Mr. Santa!" said Ukyou.
"In any case, we'd better finish trimming the tree." Said Nodoka.
"Yeah!"
Putting down their boxes, Shampoo and Ukyou go with Nodoka into the kitchen to help prepare the Christmas Eve feast. Ranma crashes onto the couch after he had set up the outdoor decorations, not to mention falling down the chimney. The Winx girls and the Pixies resumed setting up the room decorations and trimming the tree.
The Saotome complex had been busy for the holidays. The shopping was just as hectic. Ranma and the girls were glad that they managed to get their shopping done at the local mall. For Ranma himself, he had an unusual encounter. He felt worried about his choice in gifts for the girls.
Flashback…
Ranma was walking about in the mall. As expected, the place was crowded with Christmas shoppers. People were fighting to get the best deals and what was available.
"Man, it's like a battleground here…" Ranma commented. Trying to find gifts for the girls will be a lot tougher than he thought. "Now what can I get for the girls?"
As Ranma disappears into the crowds, a certain group of girls came in from a different direction. Like everyone else, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Layla were doing their Christmas shopping. They stopped before the indoor fountain.
"This place is quite large." Said Tecna.
"Yeah, but it's not as grand as the one in Magix." Said Stella.
"Sorry, Stella. Earth doesn't have the convenience of magic and advanced technology for daily life." Said Bloom.
"Come on, girls, let's focus here." Said Layla. "We need to find some gifts before they sell out."
"She's right. We'd better hurry!" said Musa.
"I hope to get something special for him…" said Flora.
The girls paused as they all thought of a certain teenage boy with a pig-tail.
"Well then, let's break and meet up three hours from now here at the fountain." Said Tecna.
"Let's get shopping!" said Stella while raising her fist to the air.
The six faeries broke off and went their own ways through the mall to find something for that special someone. Little did they know that that someone was in the same area.
(In the next few segments, Ranma and the girls will individually be walking around, and missing each other.)
Have yourself, a Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Ranma heads towards a shop, but stops as he sees the place practically flooded with customers. He turns and leaves the way he came. From the opposite direction, Stella walks in and sees the flooded shop, She turns and walks off.
Have yourself a Meryy Little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
Ranma looks through a clothes shop window. Behind him, with her back facing him, was Tecna doing a little window shopping herself. They walk off in opposing directions.
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Flora sits on a bench resting from her mall stroll. In the background, Ranma is ascending the escalator.
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Ranma walks past a line of people. Coming from the other side going the opposite direction was Bloom just as Ranma left the scene.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Ranma walks past a music store. Inside with her back turned was Musa as she was listening to some sample tracks from the store's headphones.
Through the years we all have been together
If the Fates allow
Ranma heads for the public restrooms. Just as he enters the mens' room, Layla exits from the ladies' room just seven feet away.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
As Ranma walks on the second floor, he sees the huge Christmas tree sitting in the main plaza.
And have yourself a Merry little Christmas now
While Ranma admires the tree, the Winx girls, each in separate areas, were gazing at the tree.
With Ranma, sometime later…
"Sheesh! These stores really take advantage of the product demand here!" said Ranma as he observed a nearby toy shop being mobbed by a huge group of people. A few other stores he's passed by he was able to see long lines at the registers. He didn't have to worry about money, since Nodoka's inheritance had provided him enough cash to use. She managed to convert some of her royal savings to yen notes during their stay in Nerima. Since the girls were new to Japan and didn't have the right currency due to their origins, Nodoka provided them cash as well. Still, the amount split amongst the teens barely made a dent in Nodoka's savings.
From the look of things, that didn't seem to matter much. The stores were practically being cleaned out, taking anything that was expensive, trendy, or just cool-looking. Just when he had set his sights on something, it would get sold out immediately.
"This sucks! And I didn't even get to find even one thing for any of the girls…" Ranma sighed. It looked almost hopeless. No! Ranma Saotome never gives up!
Before he knew it, he wound up at the end of the mall. He looked over to the side and sees a shop that wasn't teeming with customers. In fact, it was empty save for the shop owner, whose back was turned.
"Huh? What's that? Why's this place the only one not being swarmed?"
He looks up at the shop sign: Miracle Workshop. Deciding he had nowhere else to look, Ranma headed towards the store. He might as well check it out anyway.
Entering the store, Ranma looked about. It had a simplistic nature to it, and is not so big. All there was in the setup was the counter, some back display shelves, and a few display tables for the merchandise. From the look of it, the store specialized in handmade sentimental items. They were mostly made from wood, glass, tin, and some shined rocks. He looked at what was on display: pen cases, figurines, hair combs, mugs, accessories, and other things.
'Wow, they sure made a lot of things here…'
It was then that the owner turned around and faced Ranma. She was a kindly-looking old lady with her white hair held in a long braid. "Welcome, dearie. We don't usually get much visitors here."
Ranma waved back to the owner. "Oh, hi there. What kind of place is this?"
"This shop specializes in handmade gifts." Replied the owner. "Are you Christmas shopping, too, young man?"
"Yeah, but it's hectic, though." Replied Ranma. "It's hard to shop when the stores are just so packed."
"I understand. People try to get the latest in things to present to their loved ones. You have to admire their spirit to go through the trouble. It goes to show that the shoppers care for the people they shop for."
Ranma nodded. "Still, I'd feel like a total rat if I got presents, but didn't have anything to give out."
"Oh? And do you have any special people you're shopping for?" asked the owner.
"Yeah… girls that I care deeply for…" replied Ranma.
The old woman chuckles slightly. "I see. Perhaps I can help you out?"
Ranma looks up. "Oh yes, definitely!" He felt he had nothing to lose at this point.
"The items in my shop all possess the magic of the heart." Said the owner. "Think about your loved ones and let your heart focus on the perfect gift for each of them."
The owner gestures to everything sitting on display in the Miracle Workshop. Ranma looks about the handmade items. Closing his eyes, he focuses on the strength of his inner feelings, namely, his souls. In Ranma's mindscape, Sky, Brandon, Helia, Riven, Timmy, and Nabu were looking about the items while thinking of their respective loves. Finally, each of them looked towards different items.
When Ranma opened his eyes, he could almost see faint light auras emitting from six wooden blocks. Each one had a shining stone embedded in the top's center. Off to another side, he sees three more of the blocks. Each block was about as big as a soap bar box. From the look of it, they looked like cases for something, but for what? Also, they were sealed tightly with a tin lock.
At face value, the nine blocks didn't look much. In fact, they looked cheap, but Ranma didn't want to be rude to the owner.
"You have a good eye for sentiments, my boy." Said the owner when she saw Ranma gather the nine cases and brought them to the counter.
"I don't know why, but I've this sudden urge to give each of them these cases." Said Ranma. "Just what are they, anyway?"
"They're thought gifts." Replied the owner.
"You mean like from that phrase, 'it's the thought that counts'?"
"Precisely, except that these work a little differently. Right now, they are sealed, so even the giver has no idea what's in them, almost like a lottery. On Christmas Day, think of what you wish those gifts to be once you present them. If you truly care about these nine, then you'll have no problem at all! You'll feel like Santa himself."
Ranma raised an eyebrow at the explanation. Sounded a little hokey to him. Still, there was no place else, and looking behind him, he saw that the shopping situation has not changed just yet.
"Well, what've I got to lose?." Said Ranma. "I still feel a little worried, though."
"You afraid they might not accept this humble gesture from you?"
"Yeah. I know I'm not the richest guy in the world, but I just feel like I've got to get them something special."
"No worries about that, young man. As I said, my items possess the magic of the heart."
Ranma considered the nine wooden block cases set on the counter. Finally, after a minute of silence, he replies.
"Wrap them up. I'll take them."
"Very well." The owner smiles and takes the blocks to the back room to wrap them.
About three minutes later, the owner comes back out with all nine blocks wrapped up and in a gift bag.
"Wow, that was fast." Said Ranma.
"I take pride in my work, dearie." Said the owner.
"This really looks great!" said Ranma as he looked at the bag. "So how much do I owe you?"
"Don't worry about that, young man. Consider this one on the house." Replied the owner.
"Huh? But why? You went through some trouble helping me here, and no one else is shopping in here!"
"I insist. A satisfied customer is all the payment I need."
Ranma gives the owner a look, then finally noticed something. The store missed the most crucial item: a cash register. Why would it not have a register?
"Are you sure about this, ma'am?" asked Ranma.
"Positive. It's the Holidays, after all. The fact that you came to my store is practically a gift itself."
Ranma smiles and takes the gift bag. "Thank you very much! And Merry Christmas!"
The pig-tailed boy turns and leaves the store. Just as he exited the door, he heard the old woman call out to him.
"Thank you, and a very Merry Christmas to you, too, Ranma Saotome."
Ranma was startled when he heard that.
"Huh!? Wait, how did you…" he spins around to face the store owner, but to his shock, she wasn't there. In fact, the whole store wasn't there. What stood in its place was an empty store unit that had been boarded up, waiting for someone to rent out the space. "What the!? Where did it go?"
He looks about him and sees the people milling about as if nothing happened. He sees a mall cop walking around ad goes over to him.
"Excuse me, sir, but did you see a store in that spot just moments ago?" asked Ranma.
"Sorry, son. I don't see anything of the sort other than that empty space." Replied the cop.
'Huh? But that's impossible!'
"Tell me, have you heard of a store called 'Miracle Workshop'?"
"Nope, sorry. All I can say is that that space had been empty and derelict for years now."
"Y-years?"
"That's right, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back on patrol."
The cop then leaves. Ranma stood in place with only his thoughts.
'It couldn't have been empty! I was just shopping in there no more than a few seconds ago! And how did that old lady know my name? This is weird…'
He looks back towards where Miracle Workshop once stood.
'Did I just dream the whole thing?' Ranma then looks to his bag and saw the blocks neatly wrapped exactly how the old lady did them. How did he get the blocks if he was just dreaming?
He shook his head. Ranma didn't have time to be thinking about that right now. He had to get home!
End flashback
'Just who was that old lady anyway?' Ranma thought to himself while on the couch. He looks over to his gift bag he bought nested under the tree. The pig-tailed boy was wondering what could be in those blocks himself. 'I'll just have to trust her and believe…'
The girls were just about done with the tree. Once most of the ornaments were hung, Stella wraps the Christmas lights around the tree and the Pixies hung a few tinsel pieces on the branches.
"All right then, all that's missing is the star." Said Flora.
Kiko hops on in holding the star ornament in his paws. The little rabbit enters through the tree branches from the base and started to work his way up. He finally manages to reach the tip of the tree, but then looks down at the Faeries and Pixies string up at him from the floor. Too high! Kiko panics and quickly grabs the top of the tree to prevent from falling. So close… with what courage he had, Kiko sticks the star on top of the tree. The girls cheered at his success. Smiling triumphantly, Kiko takes a bow, but then loses his footing and falls off the tree. Fortunately, Zing, dressed like Santa, flies in on a sleigh and catches the little rabbit.
"Ho ho ho! You've done great, Kiko!" said Zing.
Ranma gets up and sees the completed tree. "Way to go, girls."
"Thanks, Ranma." Said Musa.
"Mom! Ukyou! Shampoo! Come check this out!" called Ranma.
His family came out of the kitchen and stood in awe at the tree.
"Oh my, it looks fabulous!" said Nodoka.
"It gets better." Said Bloom. She signals to Ranma to plug in the lights.
Ranma walks up and picks up the light plug. "Everyone ready? Iku-zo!"
He plugs in the light, and the tree illuminates to life in a variety of colors. Everyone in the room could only say one thing.
"Oooooooo…."
"Nice touch." Said Ranma. (1)
Dining room, later on…
Soon after, the Saotome home had received a few more visitors. Cologne and Mousse had arrived with food from the Neko Haten, and Sasuke, the Kuno manservant, had dropped in wearing a wreathe around his neck. Due to past events, Mousse had more or less buried the hatchet between himself and Ranma due to Shampoo's adoption to his family, but is still intent on trying to win Shampoo over. He also had struck up a friendship with the Winx girls after having his sight repaired, so he no longer had to worry about mistaking objects for people, or anyone else. With Sasuke, Flora had taken pity on the ninja servant some days ago when she saw him chucked out in front of the Kuno estate simply because he was not invited to the Kuno party. He thought her to be like a divine angel afterwards. (2)
"It was so kind of you to have us, Nodoka-san." Said Cologne.
"You're Shampoo's family, so of course I'd have you two over, Cologne-san." Said Nodoka.
Everyone was sitting around the table once the food was set. It was a huge feast considering it's from not just the Saotome kitchen, but from the Neko Haten and the Ucchan's. To Sasuke, he felt unworthy, as he was always left to eat the scraps from what was left after the Kuno meals.
"All right! Let's dig in!" said Ranma.
Sushi, sukiyaki, ramen, okonomiyaki, pork buns, Chinese chicken platters, and other Japanese/Chinese delicacies were on the menu. Ranma had to fight to restrain himself. Without Genma around, he didn't have to worry about having his food stolen, so he can be reserved.
After what seemed like an eternity, everyone had eaten their fill.
The rest of the night went by quickly. After dinner, everyone had engaged in social activities. Talking, karaeoke, dress-ups (Stella's idea), charades, caroling, and others. Just like a family would spend time together.
That was something Ranma had coveted.
As soon as the late night came, Cologne, Mousse, and Sasuke left the complex. Everyone else had gotten ready for bed.
In Ranma's room, Ranma stared up at the ceiling, wondering about the shop he had been in days before.
'This is it. Tomorrow is Christmas. I wonder if what that old lady said was true? I just have to believe…'
In a moment, Ranma nods off to sleep. From his window, a shooting star was seen.
Christmas Day…
"Merry Christmas, everyone!"
The nine females of the house were clad in their night robes and gathered around the tree along with Ranma, the Pixies, and Kiko.
"Look at all the stuff ready to be opened!" said Ukyou.
"Everyone, we should be a little more restrained here." Said Nodoka. "Perhaps we should do this one at a time."
Ranma immediately went for his bag. He wanted to get this over with quickly. Remembering the old lady's instructions, he took out the nine wrapped blocks. "I guess I'll start by handing out mine."
He hands out each addressed block to Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, Layla, Ukyou, Shampoo, and Nodoka. Ranma thought about what he wanted to give to each of them.
"Oh my, Ranma, what are these?" asked Nodoka.
"Eh… thought gifts…" replied Ranma in embarrassment. "Open them and see."
Each of the girls proceeded to unwrap their gifts and reveal the wooden block cases. The tin locks on each of them instantly unlocked themselves, causing the lids on each to open slightly. When they opened the blocks, they gasped. One by one, each took out her gift from the block.
For Bloom, she pulled out a beautiful diamond pendant held by a thin gold chain. The diamond was about the size of a quarter and centered in a gold frame shaped like a ball of flame.
For Stella, she pulled out a gold, diamond-encrusted ring. The main diamond was encircled with a sun frame, and on each point was a ruby or sapphire in an alternating pattern.
For Flora, she pulled out a silver hair clip in the shape of a rose. It was about as big as a silver dollar and looked to be made purely out of ruby. Small diamond bits added more glitter to it like morning dew.
For Musa, she pulled out a pair of matching silver earrings shaped like music notes. The dots of the notes were made from diamond while the note lines were inlaid with emerald.
For Tecna, she pulled out a gold, jewel-encrusted bracelet. In a row, it had one sapphire, one emerald, and one ruby. Handing from it like a charm was a small, gold-plated digital clock, doubling as a watch.
For Layla, she pulled out a silver choker. On the front was a diamond broach framed by two gold dolphins. By each dolphin was an aquamarine.
For Shampoo, she pulled out a silver armband. At each end was a cat face with eyes of emerald and diamond.
For Ukyou, she pulled out another silver armband like Shampoo's, but with a different design. Rather than cat faces, her's had fox faces with sapphire and diamond eyes.
And for Nodoka, she pulled out a beautiful jeweled necklace. It was a gold chain with nine jewel inlets. At the ends were pearls, then emeralds, then sapphires, and finally the rubies. At the center of the eight jewels was a diamond encased in a silver frame shaped like wings.
All the girls looked at Ranma in astonishment. He himself was shocked at what the blocks contained.
'Wow! It worked!'
"Ranma… I… I don't know what to say…" said Bloom as she and the others had started forming tears of joy.
"So… you like them?" he asked nervously.
"I love it!" said Stella!
Everyone else nodded.
"I'll treasure this forever, Ranma…" said Flora as she went and embraced Ranma, much to his embarrassment.
Not wanting to be outdone, all the girls went to hug Ranma in thanks for the gifts. Nodoka stood by and watched this happen.
"Son, you didn't have to go through this much trouble for us." Said Nodoka.
Once the girls relented, Ranma spoke. "Not at all, Mom. You were all worth it. It took a little money, but a lot of heart."
Each of the females took a moment to put on her new gift.
"That all suits you perfectly!" said Ranma. In his mind, he recalls the owner of the Miracle Workshop. 'Thanks, Old Lady. I only wish I knew who you were.'
It was then that Zing flies in. "Oh Ranma! I forgot I've got a gift for you, too!"
"Oh? What's that?" asked Ranma.
"Just sit tight…" Zing flies out of the room. Without Ranma noticing, Zing flies back and hovers over his head.
Ranma looked about and noticed that the Winx, plus Shampoo and Ukyou were giving him strange looks, making him nervous.
"Uh… girls?"
Wondering what was going on, he looked up and noticed Zing was hovering over him, carrying…
In an instant, the eight beautiful teenage girls jumped Ranma, knocking him down and began showering him with kisses. Nodoka looked amused at the whole thing.
"You'll thank me for this later, Ranma!" said Zing as she held the Mistletoe.
In Ranma's mindscape, the souls of the Specialists were laughing.
Christmas night, the sky…
A certain red-clad jolly old man in a reindeer-driven sled was cruising the night sky, heading for home. Down in the city below him, he could hear the carolers singing.
Santa finally touches down on the North Pole runway. Landing, he gets off his sleigh where some of his elven workers were waiting for him.
"Welcome back, Santa. How was the run this year?" asked an elf.
"Quite good, I must say, but very tiring." Replied Santa. "Can you put them away for me?"
"You got it, boss!" replied the elf. Santa nods approval and heads towards his factory/mansion. "Alright, guys! You heard the man! Parking duty!"
The elves saluted and proceeded to bring the sleigh and the nine reindeer in.
One of the elves goes over to a certain reindeer before guiding him into the stable. "Nice job, Rudolph. The sky wasn't too foggy for you this time, was it?"
Rudolph just smiles and shines his red nose.
As Santa heads for the front door, a certain top hat wearing snowman opens the way for him.
"Thank you, Frosty." Said Santa.
"Anytime, friend." Said Frosty.
Navigating through his mansion home, he comes to the living room. There were two easy chairs and a coffee table sitting before the warm fireplace. From behind, Mrs. Claus's hands were seen, knitting a scarf.
"How was your day, dear?" asked Mrs. Claus.
Santa plops down on the other chair, feeling tired. "Exhausting! Trying to deliver presents in one night is hard. Sometimes I think I'm getting too old for this."
"Don't be like that! You're never too old for it!" said Mrs. Claus. "You've been doing this for years, after all."
"You're right. I should also thank Hiro Elf for that time manipulator upgrade to my sleigh. I sure made things easier for me." Said Santa in a drowsy tone. (3)
"He's quite the energetic fellow, isn't he? We always have to come up with something new each year."
Mrs. Claus looked to see that her husband has nodded off to sleep. She smiles as she looked at him. He had a long night. She then comes out and shows her face, a kindly old lady with her hair in a long braid. On the table was a snow globe. In it was an old building called 'Miracle Workshop'.
Looking at the fourth wall, she holds her finger to her lips. "Shhhhh… let him rest. He's earned it."

Author's notes:
After reading Arsao Tome's take on a Christmas special on my fic I decided to try my hand at it. Just like with the Halloween Omake. Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year!
(1) The tree trimming scene was inspired by the same scene in A Garfield Christmas.
(2) This will be explained in the next few chapters.
(3) A slight reference to Heroes' Hiro Nakamura.
