Secret Hideout, 4.30PM

"Sapph! Come and try this new outfit I made for you!" A black haired male was chasing his girlfriend around their secret hideout to try on the outfit he made for her.

"No way! I will not wear any dresses to Blue's New Year party!" The running brunette was running away to escape the clutches of the so-called 'Chamber of Hell' or should we say, the dress.

"But Sapphire, Senior Blue told me to make the outfits for everyone for the party next week." The male spoke in a calmer voice.

"So what if it's Senior Blue's instructions? I am still not going to wear the chamber of hell!" She shouted and sat down on one of the Azumarill beanbags.

"It's not a chamber of hell, it's a dress. Dress. D-r-e-s-s. Repeat after me." He spoke in a soft voice like he is talking to a kid.

"No way." She got up and walked out of the hideout to get home.

"Sapphire! Sapphire Birch!" He stood at the entrance of the hideout and watched her swing from vine to vine to the exit of the forest.

"How am I going to get her to wear this?" He said to himself while packing his stuff.


Littleroot Town, Ruby's House, 6.30PM

"It's such a pleasure that the two of you are able to make it to the dinner." Ruby's mother told Professor Birch and Sapphire when the door opened to reveal the father and daughter.

"It's our pleasure too." Professor Birch replied as he smiled.

"Come on in. Ruby is in his room and Norman is in the living room reading his newspaper. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." She then walked to kitchen.

"I'll go to Ruby's room then." Sapphire told her father as she when her boyfriend's room.

She went up the stairs she knew so well everytime she came. When she reached his room, she knocked for a few times before his voice was heard.

"What ya doin?" She asked as she walked into his room which was filled with designs on the outfits which he planned on doing in the future.

"I'm making Platinum's dress. If you want to help me, try on the one I made for you. If not, you can just sit on the bed and wait till dinner's ready." He said while not taking his eyes off the dress he is sewing.

"I don't wanna help you and I can just stay here till dinner's ready." She laid down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

"I doubt that you would even help me..." He whispered so that she would not hear.

"Whaddya say?" She woke up hearing something.

"Nothing." He continued what he was doing before.

"Hm."


7.30PM

"Sapphire... Wake up."

"Hm? Whaddya want? I wanna continue sleeping..." She sat up on his bed and rubbed her eyes.

"It's dinner time." He pointed to the digital clock that sat on his table which showed the current time, 7.30PM.

"Oh. Let's go then." She walked out of his room and went down to the dining room where her father and Ruby's parents sat.

She took a seat next to her father and waited for Ruby to come down to the dining room before starting dinner.


8.30PM

"Ruby, today's Christmas."

"I know that."

"I wanna grant you a wish. Any wish you want. As your Christmas present." She turned over to face the boy working on the suits for the guys.

"Anything?" He turned around to look at her, feeling that she did that on purpose.

"Yeah. Even if you wanna put me in the chamber of hell, I'll do it."

"Why did you even think of granting me any wish? I mean, it's quite unlike you to somehow give in to do something for others."

"I know. That's why I granted you one wish! So, what do you wish for?"

"Nothing. All I want for Christmas is right in front of me." He smiled at her and she blushed.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I have nothing much that I really want you to give me. All I want for Christmas is you, and you are right in front of me."

Sapphire now had a confused look on her face.

"I'm sure that you'll have something else you want..." She mumbled to herself.

"I have nothing else. If you think that I'll wish that you try on that dress, then no I will not. If you think that I'll wish that you will come and join me in the contests and try being a coordinator, no, I will not wish for that too. Becuase I like you just the way you are. The wild barbaric Sapphire." He gave her a peck on the lips before continuing his work.

On the other hand, Sapphire was somehow shocked and confused at what he just said and asked, "Was that a trick or something?"

"Nope. I'm serious when I said that." He replied firmly.

"Alright then."


9.15PM

"I have a gift for you~" He stood above her as she laid down on his bed again.

"What?" She asked grumpily.

"See for yourself." He handed her a rectangular dark blue box with white polka dots. "Merry Christmas!"

She took it and look at him with a 'if this is a prank, I swear that I'm gonna kill you' look.

"Well? Open it." He told her, ignoring her warning expression.

She opened the box slowly, afriad that something might jump out of it. When she was sure that nothing would jump out, she looked at what he had given her. He gave her new fingerless gloves, a new pouch as her old one was tattered and a new shirt. Basically, he gave her a new outfit.

"Ruby, why are you giving me a new outfit?" She asked in tone that showed that she was about to explode.

"Sapph, you know that your outfit is almost close to shreds so I made new ones for you. I was thinking that maybe you'll like it..." He mumbled.

"But I was fine with these!" She stood up and pointed at her current outfit.

"Now now Sapphire, calm down you do not want our parents to come up to see what we are doing right?"

"Humph!" She sat down on the bed again.

"Sapph... Today's Christmas. Can you cheer up a little?" Ruby hated seeing his girlfriend angry although he was used to it.

No response.

"Sapph..." He tapped her shoulder.

No response.

"Never mind..." He turned around and continue working on the suits and outfits for Blue's party.


9.45PM

'Knock knock'

"Come in."

"Hello Ruby." Professor Birch greeted Ruby as he entered his room.

"Hello to you too Professor. Are you here to bring Sapphire home?"

"Yes. Can you please wake her up?"

"Okay. I'll try." He walked over to her sleeping form and shook her, trying to wake her up.

"Sapph... Wake up. It's time to go home."

"No... I wanna sleep..." She mumbled.

"Sapph..."

"Nggh..." She turned to the other side and grabbed his pillow before hugging it.

"I guess I'll either have to carry you home or ask if you can stay the night or not..."

He went downstairs to tell her father that Sapphire does want to wake up and whether he wanted Ruby to carry her home or let her stay the night here.

"Maybe we'll let her stay the night here since she doesn't seem to want to leave Ruby's bed."

"Alright then, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow." Professor Birch waved and exited the house.


Ruby went up to his room to see that Sapphire had curled up into a ball.

'I guess she's cold...' He then covered her with his blanket.

"Good night Sapphire." He whispered and gave her a kiss on her forehead and her lips curled into a small smile before walking out of his room to sleep in the guest room.

"Merry Christmas to you too Ruby... Good night..." He heard a faint whisper as he was walking towards the door.

He turned back and gave her sleeping form a smile before exiting the room and switching off the lights.

That night, they dreamt of each other in each other's wonderland.
