Ok, I was so desperate for a Gen Rex update that I wrote this in half an hour. Yeah, I'm obsessive compulsive. I need my Gen Rex fix especially for the holidays.

I do not own anything.

Rex stood outside the toy store. According to the guy on the phone, this was the last place that had that toy Violeta wanted, KuKu Kitten. It was the new hottest selling toy. It was just a stupid cat with crazy eyes. It actually creeped Rex out but if his daughter wanted one then darn it she was going to get one.

He thought back to the crazy morning he had.

In the first store he was one of the first people standing outside the store waiting for it to open. As the time drew near the nervous employees went over to the door and using a long pole unlatched the door. The employees then flattened themselves against the wall as a tide of people surged their way towards the popular toy aisles. Rex was among them in the throng. He swam his way through the sea of humanity snatching toys along the way for his children making his way to the coveted stuffed toy cat. By the time he reached the shelf there was only one left. He grabbed it but then an old lady hit him with a purse over his head. He dropped it and she picked it up. As Rex went to stop her she yelled for help playing the helpless old lady act. Security guards came and threw him out. The first store was a bust.

He built his rex ride and sped to the next toy store that was further away. When Rex arrived it was a mob scene. People were scuffling and scrambling for the popular toys. Harassed-looking employees were trying to help grumpy irate customers demanding that they produce toys out of this air. Rex managed to navigate past fighting moms, argumentative dads, and crying kids to get most of the toys he needed. But the most important toy was still missing. And no, there was no more and no, there won't be another shipment of the toy until next month. Yes, they were aware Christmas was this month. After driving through three other toy stores, it was the same story everywhere. That is until a sympathetic mother mentioned that she saw there was still some KuKu Kittens left at one last toy store in the whole tri-state area.

He went in and walked down the aisle to where the anthropomorphic animal toys were located. Low and behold on the shelf there was one toy left sitting in its box looking at him with its crazy eyes. He could have sworn he heard a choir of angels singing as he went to grab the toy… just as another hand reached out to grab it. Two hands clutched the toy.

Rex glared at the person the hand was attached to. The big burly man glared back at Rex.

"Excuse me, sir. I was here first." Rex said through gritted teeth.

"No way buddy. I saw it first!" The burly man growled.

"I think you must be mistaken. There's no way you could have seen it first from the angle you came in at." Rex corrected him gripping the toy tighter.

"What are you a forensic expert? This is mine." He started pulling the toy towards him.

"No, sir. This is mine." Rex insisted tugging the toy toward him. There was no way he was going to lose this toy this time.

"Let go!"

"You let go!"

They both gave a hard tug at the same time. The toy slipped from their hands and flew high into the air. Rex jumped for it but the burly man batted it away then pushed Rex over as he ran to where the toy had landed. Rex looked up from the floor and narrowed his eyes. Oh, it was on!

As the man was about to grab it a strong wind blew it out of his reach. The man turned around with a scowl which melted into surprise as he saw Rex with his turbine rescinding into his back. Rex then made his punk busters and leapt over the man to get to the toy. Just as Rex was bending over to pick it up a hockey puck knocked it from his grasp. The toy went sliding down another aisle. Rex looked up just in time to see the man throwing down the hockey stick and going around to get the toy.

"Oh no you don't!" Rex cried as he swooped down with his sky slyder and scooped up the toy. "Ah ha!" Rex turned and gloated. He should have watched where he was going as she smashed into a wall of carefully stacked action toys. Rex fell and was buried in an avalanche of boxes. The toy fell out of his hand. The man ran and grabbed it but Rex grabbed his ankle and the man fell. The toy flew from his hands. Rex shoved the boxes off of him and made a running jump to get the toy. Just as he was about to grab it the man tackled him. The toy flew past both of them in slow motion and fell into a cart of a lady on line to pay for her purchases. She pulled out the toy cat from her cart without even looking at it and gave it to the cashier who rung it up. The lady took her purchases and left the store.

Both Rex and the man stood with their mouths opened. Rex shook himself. Well, so much for that but at least he could make one thing right.

"Hey, buddy. Sorry about that. Don't know what got into me." Rex turned to the man.

The man looked surprised. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. I guess this season makes us all a little crazy."

"Definitely." Rex agreed.

"No hard feelings?"

"No hard feelings."

With that the two men shook hands and Rex left to go home. When he got home he dropped his purchases by the door and fell face first into the couch.

"Rex? Is that you? Did you get everything?" Circe walked into the living room drying her hands.

Rex pointed at the bags by the door without bothering to look up.

"Rex! You can't leave the presents by the door! What if Violeta and Rafael saw them?" Circe admonished him. She quickly grabbed the packages and took them up to their room. Rex was too tired to answer. A few minutes later Circe came back with a hot mug of coffee and some aspirin,

"Long day, huh?" She asked gently.

"I'd rather be fighting EVOs." Rex groaned as he pushed himself up to accept the coffee and medication. "Worst of all I went to 7 different stores and I couldn't find that stupid creepy cat."

"Uh, Rex, I told you, you didn't have to get that." Circe said.

"What? Of course I do. Violeta wants it." Rex said.

"Yeah, Rex, I know that's why I ordered it on line. It's coming in a week. I told you this remember?" Circe narrowed his eyes at him.

"Uh…no?" Rex said sheepishly. "When was this."

Rex was in the living room with Noah, Tuck, and Walter watching the game.

"No, run, run run!" Rex was standing up yelling at the screen.

"He's not going to make it! He's not going to make it!" Noah cried clutching a pillow on the couch.

"Yes, he is. Yes, he is." Tuck insisted emphatically.

"Whatever." Walter said as he played a game on his smart phone.

"Rex, I ordered that toy Violeta wanted. It was on sale for cyber…"Circe popped her head into the living room from the den.

"Yeah, yeah great. Yes! He made it."Rex screamed and jumped up and down. Noah and Tuck joined in. Soon they were chest bumping and hi-fiving one another. Walter made a whoopty-doo sign with his finger and continued playing on his phone.

Circe rolled her eyes and went back to the den.

"Oh, then." Rex frowned. "You know you shouldn't tell me things when I'm distracted."

"Yes, Rex. It's all my fault you were not listening again." Circe said sarcastically.

"I'm glad we agree." Rex smiled. When Circe narrowed her eyes, Rex held up his hands. "Kidding, kidding." He got up and kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad one of us is on the ball."

"Darn right." Circe smirked before pulling Rex down for a proper kiss.

My daughter made up KuKu Kittens. It sounds like something some parents would fight for to give their kids if it was popular at the moment. I've seen some ugly things shopping. But hopefully we don't forget what the season really means. I'll correct mistakes tomorrow gotta go to bed.

Happy Holidays and for goodness-sake someone update already!
