Meanwhile, at the Timeville Mall...

Mei and Rebecca weaved and dove through the crowds of people in the middle of the holiday rush as they looked for their friends "Where did Leo say that they were?" Mei asked over the crowds "Near NeonTropolis!" Rebecca yelled back. The group of friends had agreed to meet in the mall so that they could find the perfect present for everyone. Although, the crowds were large, the two girls could spot Leo and Emma near the storefront.

"Mei! Rebecca!" Emma shouted, waving to the two of them as soon as she spotted them. "Leo! Emma!" Mei cheered, she and Rebecca finally meeting up with them. "There you guys are! Where's Kaylo and Trisha Jane?" Rebecca asked. "Trisha Jane's almost here, and so is Kaylo." Leo said, adjusting his scarf.

Just then, the unmistakable flash of pink hair was seen, along with Trisha Jane's voice calling out for the group "We're over here!" Mei yelled out, making the pink hair get closer to them. The children smiled as their two friends got closer. "Hey guys!" Trisha Jane said cheerfully as Kaylo flashed her own smile.

"Ready to go shopping?" The pink haired girl asked, holding out a rolled up paper from her bag. Mei gave a chuckle "Easy tiger, we need to know what we're getting first." Mei reminded "I know what I'm getting! I always make a list, and I check it twice!" Kaylo said "What next, you're gonna see who's naughty or nice?" Leo joked. The kids gave a chuckle at Leo's quip before they all began wandering the various shops.

The children's eyes all darted at the items in the shops and stores looking for the perfect present for those they love. However, this didn't mean that the all got somewhat sidetracked at times. Leo had to pry his eyes away at a new music player, while Emma's gaze followed the twinkling of brand new earrings in a window. Mei almost was tempted by a beautiful new Qipao, and Rebecca's money was almost used for a brand new art kit. Trisha Jane resisted the temptation of a brand new science kit, before the kids had to drag Kaylo out by her ankles, when she spotted a new Lolita outfit in a window.

After a few hours, the group decided to take a break at the food court. Mei and Emma took a look at the list the Kaylo had been carrying around, and were shocked to see all the stuff she wanted to buy for her family. The pink haired girl simply shrugged and said "I do have a big family."

Leo sighed as he took a bite of his burger "I wish it was that easy for me..." He moped. Emma raised an eyebrow "What do you mean Leo?" She asked.Leo looked down "It's not that easy, My mom is great, and it's not like we have a humongous family like Kaylo's...but I want to get her something PERFECT. Like that one present that she'll treasure forever..." He admitted. Trisha Jane gave him a knowing look "Well, I'm sure that you'll find it. Maybe you're just looking in the wrong place." She suggested.

"We can always go search downtown!" Emma suggested "I suppose so, since I haven't found anything for my dad yet." She added "Alright, As soon as we...where's Kaylo?" Mei asked, noticing that the pink haired girl was gone "Hang on! I'm coming!!" Kaylo's voice said. The kids then saw her, at least her legs, as her body and head was behind a mountain of presents, packages and boxes.

"They had a few things that my cousin and aunties wanted! So I just had gotten them real quickly! And I had seen some piano cleaner my dad wanted, so I grabbed those too!" She said. Rebecca looked up at the mountain of boxes "Erm...Kaylo? How are you going to get these boxes back to your house? Or even out the door?" She asked.

"I had a feeling that this would happen, so I called in a little help!" She said, the honking of a horn is heard as a car pulls up outside the Mall "You guys go ahead! I'll catch up!" Kaylo strained from the box mountain. "Meet us near Harajuku Isle! That's when we'll start looking again!" Mei said.

"Got It!" The pink haired girl replied before she slowly trekked to the door, hoping to not drop anything. "Oh goodness, do you need any help?" A voice asked. Kaylo turned around to see Sana and Iben shopping as well. "Hi Sana, Hey Iben, I'm good! I've got it!" She reassured, still slowly walking towards the door. Suddenly, the weight of the presents got lighter as she saw Sana taking some of the packages off of the mountain of gifts.

"Maybe I should have gotten a little help huh..." she said, a red blush appearing on her face as the two adults helped her to the door.

Meanwhile, Somewhere else in Timeville...

While most of the town was excited for the holidays to roll around, The Keller family were...let's just say less than enthusiastic. Especially towards the Bruno family...Walt Keller was hanging up an ornament that had a small voodoo doll version of Stefan Bruno, who was getting eaten by pirhanas. "I hate that family. I hate them SO much." He grumbled.

Walt's wife Wilma walked in, Holding a mug of spiked hot chocolate cocoa "Oh quit thinking about them Walt. Maybe later on we can throw some snowballs and knock Stefan and his wife off the roof." She said, hoping to cheer her husband up.

Walt however brushed her off "It's not that. I know for a fact that every year, when they help around town for the festivities. They always have a touch of Wonderworld Magic. Be it during the lightning of the tree, or the Light Parade. There is ALWAYS a touch of magic to them. Their direct connection to Mirabella, and Wonderworld...and yet. Everyone thinks that I'm nuts." He grumbled.

Wilma narrowed her eyes and shrugged "Well what do you expect, You've been stalking them so much that I'm surprised that they don't have a restraining order for you yet." She reminded. Walt didn't respond, but instead, a cocky, and unsettling smile grew on his face "Yeah, We'll that's not gonna happen this year. Because this year. I'm FINALLY gonna expose Wonderworld, AND get make this miserable town BOW to me!!" He yelled maniacally, holding what looked to be a snowflake, and a old, tearing parchment that read "Winter of Woe"...
