AN:

Hello everyone! Today's chapter will cover today and the next two days. When I first published this story I had a scouts camping during the weekend where no cellphones were allowed, so I needed a chapter that would cover 3 days and the Strauss family was a perfect idea. So, I hope you like it and see you in three days :D

Meanwhile, you can try and guess which two characters are missing before the final chapter :P

It was a normal day at the Strauss brothers house. Mira had stayed late at the guild, cleaning the bar, so, when she went home, Lisanna and Elfman should have already been asleep. But that night, things didn't go as Mira expected. The moment she stepped into the house, something different caught her attention: the light in the living room was still on.

"Probably Lisanna forgot to turn it off." Mira thought for herself. But she knew that wasn't the case. Entering the room, she saw Lisanna sitting at the table, making a Christmas gift wrap. She was so focused on her work that she didn't see her sister come in.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Mira asked, breaking Lisanna focus. At the sound of her voice, the younger sister tried, in vain, to hide what she was doing.

"How long have you been here Mira-nee?" Lisanna asked, hoping her sister hadn't seen the present.

"You don't need to hide that cowboy jacked" Was Mirajane answer. Lisanna had tried so hard to wrap her present without getting caught. She had made it so far, but, because she got too distracted with time, her sister had found out.

"Please, don't tell anyone." She asked.

"That's fine. I won't. Now let's go sleep." Mira suggested. Lisanna agreed and they both went to sleep. Already laying o her bed, Mira thought about her sister's present. There was only one person at the guild that would like to receive a cowboy jacket: Alzack. Who else wore cowboy clothes? Mira thought the situation was kinda funny since she had gotten Asuka's card. Of course, Mira already had a present for the little child. It wasn't that hard to find something she would like: A fake small gun. She would be really happy with one.

On the next morning, Mira was making breakfast, when Lisanna broke the silence:

"Mira-nee, do you already have your Christmas present?" The older girl gave a positive answer.

"Then, how to do keep it here at home without me or Elf-nichan find out?" Lisanna kept asking. However, she had no time to hear the answer because the referred brother came into the kitchen.

"Without I find out what?" He asked

"Ohh nothing. Mira and I were talking about our Christmas gifts for the guild. Mira-nee already has hers and I was asking her how can she keep it here at home without any of us two find it."

"Well, I won't answer that question, or else the next time I won't be able to do the same." Mira answered

"And for speaking of that, Elfman, do you have your present already?"

"I want to find something manly enough!" He exclaimed

"You know, not everyone likes manly things." Lisanna informed her brother.

"Why don't you think of something the person that you got likes? Besides manly things." Mira suggested

"But I don't know." He said, pausing for a second. Then he added:

"I'll find something today!"

After eating breakfast, Elfman left home, determined to find something to give to Wendy. But Mira was right. Wendy would not like manly things. So, he did the most obvious thing to him: he went to the guild and tried to spy on the girl.

"So, Wendy, what would you like to receive on Christmas?" Charle asked Wendy. They were both at the guild, at a table. Hearing those words, Elfman tried to hide behind a wall to listen to the dragon slayer answer.

"I don't know Charle. I don't think Christmas is about buying something. I would like to receive something made by the person herself. It can be something simple. A Christmas card for example."

"That's really manly!" Elfman thought to himself. After hearing that, he went home, sat at the table and started to work. And at the end of the day, he had a really cute Christmas present for the little dragon slayer: a Christmas card, with a tree and the guild symbol inside.

Just like he heard Wendy saying, it wasn't something bought. He made the card himself, and he had to admit, it was manly.
