Dick Casablancas was originally shocked when he opened the cabinet and discovered that he had bought Logan a total of twelve gifts for Christmas this year.

The fact of the matter was that he was simply used to shopping for more people.

One by one he had wrapped them. And now, adorned in his Santa hat and carrying his pillowcase full of gifts over his shoulder he strolled down the back streets of Neptune.

One by one the gifts disappeared from his bag as he continued his travels.

He stopped by old friends of Cassidys … and left gifts.

He stopped at people he knew he'd hurt… And left something.

But soon the feeling ended and he found himself nervous and reluctant to go about completing his plan. Instead of bolstering his courage he found the whole plan faulty.

But he did it anyway.

He put the box on the back stoop and rang the bell.

Then he ran to the cover of the trees and pulled his beard over his face.

From where he was no one could see him.

A woman opened the door and looked down. She picked up the box and looked around.

"Cindy?" She called back. "Cindy, there's something here for you."

Mac swayed sleepily to the door and looked at the box. It seemed to wake her up and she looked at the card.

"To Cindy." It read. "From A Sorry Jackass."

She shook her head and opened it.

She gasped and her face lit up.

So Dick smiled… And slipped away.

Aaron was met with a chorus of cheers when he re-entered heaven. He was greeted almost as warmly as the three ragged and hell-sprung PCHers.

He threw his eyes immediately to the monitors and smiled, seeing that they had done it.

Meg flashed him a smile and Curly gave him an excited two-thumbs-up.

Lynn came up and hugged his arm, leading him through the throngs of partying and rejoicing souls.

"Think you're up for next year?" She asked him.

"You know I love a re-occuring role Lynn." He smiled. And it felt pretty good too. He realized.

Veronica turned to her chorus of friends." Do you think we can wait until after New Years to tell my Dad about this?" She asked.

Lamb smirked at her as he marched the younger two thugs away.

"I don't know…" Threatened Weevil. "I'm thinking, save the girl before Christmas… We might get better presents."

Everyone chuckled.

"I'm thinking… Spook my dad for Christmas and you'll be wishing you didn't save me." She insisted.

"Not possible." Weevil told her. "But I'll keep my mouth shut anyway."

Logan's phone rang.

"Hello?" He shook his head. "Trina? What? The Airport…"

"I left you a message that I couldn't make it on time." She explained. "Today has just been insane!"

Logan's face broke in to a crazy smile. "Tell me about it." He laughed. "I can be right there."

Logan went to leave but stopped himself and looked at Weevil. "Can I drop you somewhere?" He offered.

Weevil shook his head. "Thanks anyway. I'm good."

Logan nodded reluctantly. "Merry Christmas everyone."

Veronica looked like she wanted to say more but couldn't.

"Always in all ways Veronica." He smiled at her, turned, and walked away.

Aaron Echolls strolled leisurely back in to hell. Damn! He thought. I forgot to find out what happened to Lilly!

He went down the long, infernal corridors and past the damned landmarks until he came to the edge of one souls personal, private hell.

"Cassidy?" He called inside. "Cassidy, son… We did it."

There was no answer.

"She's going to be fine. She'll even come to forgive you in time now…"

Still there was no reply.

Aaron huffed twice. "You're only making this harder on yourself. Once a person will forgive you it's as though they have in the eyes of hell… You should be free now Cassidy! Come on!"

But there was no reply, save for the distant sounds of Cassidy's screams.

Aaron tried to enter but it rebuffed him.

"You'll be able to come out!" He called in to Cassidy's hell. "If you can just … forgive yourself… It's not so bad out here but…"

And Aaron shivered.

He spun quickly and walked away.

"But it can't be helped… If we cant forgive ourselves."

THE END
