Okay, remember the sexy guy who hugged me at the football game? Well me and stephanie were sitting at lunch and she just blurts out

"he's so smexy!!" and I lauged and said that she'd have to share and she says

"oh please, he asked YOU for the hug! He was obviously hitting on you not me. But I tell you what. You can have the real one if I get a picture!"

it was really funny!

Oh yes, down to buisiness. So I honestly think we only have two chapters to go before the sequal and I still haven't come up with a name!!

anyway, just gotta think about it more. Enjoy my newest chapter!!

linda lay in silence in her little room with three boy wondering why they had to go to bed early just because of christmas eve.

It cirtainly was nice the way they had eaten turkey and stuffing and gravy and green beans and mashed potatos and rolls and...well...pretty much every thing you could think of...for dinner on a red table cloth.

It was nice how L would sit in the living room and watch the children trying to make wammy's a more cheerful place with lots of tinsel and ribbon...and a tree for some reason...as he played chess with whoever dared try and beat him.

It was nice how instead of the cool, calm near he usually is, he was happy and playful...even kinda hyper.

It was nice how roger was in such a good mood. Him strolling through the halls cheerfully whistling an unfermliar tune, patting the playing children on the heads as he passed them.

It was nice how for this cirtain time of year, mello and near would never fight. mello would help near carfully climb the tree to put a colorful speare on a hook onto one of it's soft green branches. Or how near would hold nails and oversized socks as mello nailed them to the fireplace mantle.

It was nice how Matt wouldn't stay in his room playing video games, either. He would fold his gameboy and shove it into his pocket as he trudged happily down the stairs. Matt always trudged when he finished playing video games.

And even thogh linda didn't really know what people were doing, every one thought it was nice that linda wasn't so violent.

linda sat up in bed after hearing a thud on the floor. She must have dosed off.

"what was that" she said a bit drowsily.

She looked at the big fat guy in red that stared up at her from the quilt. He kinda freaked her out. Matt had a picture of a dancing snow man and asked to trade. She would had wet herself if she had that!

She heard someone small climbing up the ladder to her bed. Maybe near had a bad dream. He always climbed up here when he did. 'For comfort' she had finally decided.

"come on up, near." she said as she layed back down and turned the opposite directoin.

The person didn't respond. Instead, she felt the person climb into the bed with her. It must have been near. No reasponse.

She felt the person coming closer to her in the bed.

"near, please try and stay on the left side of the bed, please"

"what?" she heard a very sleepy near answer from his bunk across the room.

A wave of hot fear engulfed her and she spun around to find mello in her bed again.

"mello?"

mello shook his head letting her know it was him and lookrd over to see if near was asleep, then turned back to her.

"I...umm...forgot to get you a cristmas presant, linda."

linda turned to face him, her eyes still adjusting to the darkness.

"that's okay, your present wasn't all that great, but at least I know you will like it."

mello stayed still for fear that if he moved, their lips would meet.

"umm...the light from matt's night light makes you look really pretty, linda."

"why, thank you"

mello just stared.

"can I make it up to you?

"oh no, you don't have..."

he was silenced by a piar of lips on her cheek. Mello pulled backand blushed. The sensation was overwelming for linda which triggered her to giggle.

Even though mello was beyond that, outgrowing giggles and blushing, something about her giggling and blushing just made him do it too.

Linda yawned and layed down slowly drifting into a deep sleep.

Mello sat down at the end of linda's bed to make sure she got to sleep okay.

"linda, wake up!"

lina slowly opened her eyes to a blurred vision of near sitting on her cheast with alook of pure exitement and wonder on his face.

"linda, please hurry up! Everyone else is downstairs opening presents!!"

she felt his light body practically leap off of her and scuttle quickly down the ladder.

She jumped down over the rails of her bed making a light thud as she impacted with the wooden floor.

She grabbed the wrist of near and yanked him through the doo and down the hall.

"what's it like, near? Everyone talks about it. How great it is. How it gives you a warm feeling in your tummy and you get sweets and preasants and..."

near sped up his pace so he was now dragging her along the hall.

"it's wonderful! Santa comes and brings you toys and the people you know give you toys and it's all because this guy jesus was born. It's like a bigger better birthday for everyone on earth!"

"in the bible, it said that three wise men followed the north star to the barn where jesus was born to bring him gifts and that's why we give presants. Not just because he was born."

near just looked at her still smiling and dragging her along as if he had completely ignored her.

They hurried down a flight of stairs and looked down on the wonder before them.

All of wammy's was down sitting on the floor people opening toys and playing with them and people opening clothes, saying thank you and setting it aside.

They looked around for mello and matt. Once they were found, linda and near rushed down the stairs to meet up with their friends.

"we got your stockings down but you guys have to find your own presants" matt said shaking his wrapped gift as if doing so would help him descover which video game he had gotten.

"what's a stocking?"

near flopped to the floor and grabbed a very large and very swollen purple sock that was propped against the couch they were all sitting by.

"this is a stocking" he said pointing at the word 'linda' written in glitter at the top of the large sock. "it's a lot bigger than a sok, but it suits the same perpouse. And it's filled with candy."

near scuttled away to go get their presants while linda devoured some of her candy.

Near came back with two presants for each of them. Matt and mello already opened theirs. Linda wathed as near carefully opened his gift.
