"What in the Sam hell do you two think your doing?, and John you better wash your mouth out with soap you never know where her mouth has been" Amanda said making a face and pushing Heather away from him.

"Jealous much Thai Kwan Doe black belt?, or did you come here to give us your blessing?" Heather asked as Amanda ran at Heather and John got in the middle.

"All right ladies there's only one way to settle this, and that's to let me chose who kisses better and that's the girl that gets chosen" John said as Amanda elbowed him.

"I will not kiss you, and why are you acting like such a Wilbur I mean I can run circles around this girl and here you are kissing her".

"A Wilbur what in the world is a Wilbur might I ask?, I mean if I am one then maybe you should tell me what one is".

"You read Charlottes Web why don't you tell me what a Wilbur is, and I'm never talking to you again, you- you- you- you Wilbur" Amanda said stomping out of John's room as John stared back confused.

"I can't be a Wilbur if I don't know what one is, I mean yes Wilbur was a pig in Charlotte's Web so what that makes me A fictional pig?" John screamed back as Amanda threw a fire log at him.

"I can't believe you asked me to kiss you, I mean do I look like I want to kiss that ditzy girl's lipstick on my perfect lips?"

"No you look like the type of girl who runs every one of my girlfriends away, and when I take a hint thinking you like me you decide to throw logs at me like I'm a human fireplace".

Tater ran from the kitchen sensing trouble as Beth ran after her panting and sweating.

"What in the world of potato puffs is going on in here you three?, and why am I saying what in the world of potato puffs?" Tater asked as John stared at Amanda angrily.

"Ask her the log thrower, I was kissing Heather and having a grand old time and in she walks pushing Heather away calling me a Wilbur" John said as Tater stared at Amanda and Kuki walked in staring at Heather.

" I smell a catfight, what in the world is going on in here, and why are there logs in front of Numbah 6?" Kuki asked as John kicked a log back at Amanda.

"Hey don't kick logs at me you big Wilbur, It's not my fault you can't control your lips now is it?" Amanda asked as John took Heather's hand and stomped back to his room.

"Forget this I can explain why I kissed her but you'd just call me a Wilbur again and I'd be the one asking how I can be a fictional pig?".

Amanda threw another log as it hit Heather in the back of the head and she rubbed it crying.

"Now look what you've gone and did, it's going to take me hours to calm her down, but at least she'll be the one kissing me".

"Good I wouldn't kiss those Wilbur lips for the life of me you stupid, fictional, pig" Amanda said picking the logs up and throwing them into the fireplace.

Heather sniffled as John got her a Christmas cookie and she snatched it stuffing the whole thing in her mouth and drinking a glass of milk.

"Is she always like this or just when you have a girlfriend?, I mean you're her friend and she's calling you a pig name" Heather said.

"It's only like this when I get a girlfriend and she has no boyfriend, it's like she wants me to drop all I'm doing in my life for her" John said sprawling out on his bed as Heather laid next to him.

"So you'd actually consider me a girlfriend and not just a kissing toy?" Heather asked as John laughed and Heather laughed along with him.

Amanda on the other hand was angrily whipping more wood onto the fire grumbling to herself.

"Stupid fictional pig thinks he can kiss whoever he wants, who is he kidding anyways?, the girls not going to last long they never do under John's radar" Amanda said as Kuki slowly crept up to her.

"If you think he's a stupid fictional pig then why are you grumbling about him, if you ask me you have the same sickness I have lovesickness" Kuki said sitting down next to Amanda.

"He just doesn't see what he has right in front of him, I've tried everything and he still considers me a stupid friend I want more than that".

"I have the same problem with Numbah 4 and his girls, he started dating recently and I want to be the one laying in his arms not any of the other agents he picks".

"We're one and the same Numbah 3, but the question is how are we going to make them see that we love them?".

"Well I suppose we just wait until their eyes open up and they see that we're more than friends to them, we're dating magnets that need to attract to them".

Wally was watching from the kitchen door as Tater walked up with a bowl of chips smiling as she had a bright idea.

"Hey Wally what are you doing hiding behind the kitchen door?, you know Kuki's looking for you" Tater yelled loud enough for the whole treehouse to hear her.

"Shhhhhhhhh you cruddy girl, I don't want the crazy Shelia to find me here, I might have to taste candy canes again" Wally said as Tater smiled putting her plan into effect.

"Why would you hide from Kuki Wally, I mean she's not that bad of a kisser is she!".

Kuki heard what Tater yelled as she stood up and walked to the door angrily as Wally shrieked in fear when he saw the look in her eyes.

"Kuki about that whole bad kisser thing I never said it, Tater's just trying to stir up trouble for me but what else is new?".

Tater smirked and walked up to the fireplace with a bottle of Coke and the chips as Amanda stared.

"Here these always got me through hard times in my life, I've never been heartbroken but who knows the glory of Cool Ranch Doritos and Coke just might do the trick" Tater said pushing a cup and a bowl to Amanda.

'I can't believe you called me a bad kisser Wally, I mean who else have you kissed with peppermint lips?" Kuki asked tapping her foot angrily at Wally.

"I told you I never said you were a bad kisser Kuki, I just think that maybe you could do with a tastier lipstick" Wally said as Kuki stared deep into Wally's eyes scanning them to see if he was lying.

"Well why didn't you just say so cutie, I have a bunch of fruity lipsticks in my room and we can see which one you like" Kuki said dragging Wally to her room as Amanda saw the Cool Ranch Doritos were mixed with regular Doritos.

"It's kind of a Tater's own personal blend, I find the cheese from regular Doritos, and the spice from Cool Ranch Doritos are actually pretty tasty".

Amanda thrusted her hand into the bowl humoring Tater as she put the chips in her mouth and smiled.

"Hey these are pretty good, when did you come up with these?" Amanda asked as Tater snatched some up.

"Just now actually, you'll find that I'm a spur of the moment person and I'll come up with some wacky idea for food but that's just my way".

John came out of his room as Amanda looked up and her smile vanished when she saw his face covered in lipstick.

"I'll leave you two alone, it looks like this is a problem I don't want to get into" Tater said walking back to the kitchen as John plopped down next to Amanda in front of the fireplace.

"What do you want Wilbur?, and make this quick I don't want my whole night ruined because of peppy Mcgee and Wilbur the wonder pig".

"Why are you always like his when I get a girlfriend?, I mean for once can't you just be happy that I'm happy?" John asked his anger level rising at again being called Wilbur.

"I find it hard to believe that your happy John, I think your hiding your sad feelings behind Heather like she's going to make them all go away with a flick of her finger" Amanda said throwing more wood onto the fire.

"Look it's very rare that I'm happy these days, what with you moving to a private school, my family getting killed in a fire, and me living in an orphanage I never thought I'd be happy again".

"And I suppose that Heather is the girl that's making your happiness come back?, John think about what your saying to me, happiness doesn't just fall out of the sky you have to look for it".

"I've never chased your boyfriends away no matter how much I hated them, and now your going to start chasing every girl I show interest in away?" John asked as Amanda's brown eyes locked with his hazel ones.

"To tell you the truth John I'm in love with you, but I can't wait forever for you to realize that, I need to move on with my life sometime too" Amanda said as John walked off.

"If you were in love with me you'd want me to be happy, and not say you love me just because your jealous of my relationship with Heather" John said as Rachel walked in seeing John go back to his room and Amanda storm off crying.

"Was it the Dorito mix that made her sad, or was it that love is in the air and she still hasn't been able to find love?" Tater asked as David ran after Amanda to find her sprawled on her bed crying.

'Stupid Wilbur why does he have to act so macho all the time?, and so cute at the exact same time?" Amanda sniffled as David slowly sat down alongside her and she jumped from the bed scared.

"Don't do that creepazoid, how much of my ranting did you hear and what's it going to take to keep you quiet ".

"I don't want your money I want your love, I mean with John and Heather dating word around the treehouse could travel pretty fast" David said as Amanda looked confused at him.

"I could always act like Carrie Underwood and dig my keys into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carve my name into his leather seats, take a Louisville slugger to both headlights, and slash a hole into all four tires".

"Yea the only difference is he isn't cheating on you, he doesn't have a car, and I think you could get arrested in some states for damaging a car".

"Hey are you with me or against me creepazoid?, if I want to destroy a car I'm going to destroy a car" Amanda said as David couldn't resist her charm, good looks, and way of life.

"All right I'll level with you kid, you're a getback boyfriend and that's all we'll kiss in front of John, you'll hold my hand, we'll talk about our future, and lastly we'll act all giddy when we're around each other" Amanda said making a bed on her room floor.

"Who's the bed for your imaginary friend?, or is somebody spending the night in here with you?" David asked as Amanda smiled down at him.

"Stay with me here creepazoid, we have to make this look official so your staying here for the night, now don't read too much into this kid because I'll take the bed and you'll take the floor".

"You know Heather and John are probably in the same bed cuddled up together for warmth, if you catch my drift" David said as Amanda turned her bedroom light out and snuggled into her bed.

"Drift is totally caught kid, it's too bad I don't work that fast and if you knew about my past you'd know why" Amanda said as David closed his eyes and they were both sound asleep.

The next morning Rachel was up before anyone thinking about the fight John and Amanda had the night before.

"Why would two good friends just up and scream at each other like that?, I mean I know people have fights but their supposed to be really good friends" Rachel said to herself making pancakes for her new son throwing chocolate chips in the batter and throwing all of John's presents under the tree.

Heather shuffled her feet from John's room as Rachel looked up and like a jigsaw puzzle the fight between John and Amanda came together.

"Good morning Numbah 10, why don't you come and help me cook pancakes for John and we can chat in the process"

Heather skipped down the hall waving her arms back and forth and Rachel opened the door for her.

"So your coming out of Numbah 6's room, a fight broke out between him and Numbah 9 last night, is there something you'd like to tell me?" Rachel asked as Heather licked batter from her fingers.

"Yea Numbah 9's a jealous monster when it comes to girl's showing an interest in Numbah 6, but she gets really angry when a girl kisses him in front of her" Heather said as Rachel started putting the batter into a frying pan.

Tater sleepily opened the door and sat at the table with her head in her arms yawning.

"Morning Numbah 20, would you like to help us make pancakes or would you rather be on Numbah 6 watch? Rachel asked as Heather walked to the kitchen door.

"Are you kidding she's too sleepy to watch for Numbah 6, I'll do it and she can help you with the pancakes" Heather said skipping out of the kitchen singing skip to my Lou.

"Thanks Numbah 10 I was really looking forward to doing manual labor today, and by the way I'd stay out of Numbah 9's field of vision if I were you" Tater said sleepily walking to the batter bowl and helping Rachel pour it into a second frying pan.

"Why do you think Numbah's 6 and 9 got into it last night Tater?, I mean do you think I should watch them better?" Rachel asked as Tater snore lightly her head next to the batter bowl.

"Tater please focus I'm pouring my heart out to you here, and all's you can think about is sleeping?".

"I'm not a good focuser at 7:30 in the morning Rache, try again at 10:00 when I'm fully awake and functional" Tater said grumpily.

"At least the pancakes are almost done, then you can sleep in front of the fireplace until Numbah 6 wakes up and you have to take pictures of the occasion".

"Why am I the only one taking pictures around here Rachel?, I mean I'm sure another agent in the treehouse knows how to work a camera" Tater said pouring the rest of the batter into her frying pan.

"Yes but you are also the best at making borders, working the computer, and printing the pictures, face it Tater you're a natural born photographer".

Meanwhile Heather laid next to John as he slowly rolled over and stared at her as she smiled.

"Morning sleepyhead why don't you get washed up and wake up, then I'll take you to the kitchen for a great breakfast of cereal, an orange, and grape soda" Heather said as John made his way to the bathroom.

Once Heather got back into the hall the rest of the agents were slowly making their way to their bathrooms as the parents walked into the living room to find a pile of presents with John's name on them.

"We're doing a good thing for this little boy Mrs. Cranston said as Tyler threw another present for John under the tree.

"Attention Peeps and Peepettes I have an announcement that can't wait" Amanda said as David's arm rested around Amanda's shoulders.

"I would like everybody to know that numbah 7 and I are a couple and there's nothing Numbah 6 can do about it" Amanda said as Rachel shook her head knowing that David just became a pawn in a war he never started.

John came out as everybody smiled except Amanda who muttered Wilbur under her breath.

"Merry Christmas Kiddo, why don't you look under the tree there may be a present or two under there for you" Rachel said hugging John as he crawled under the tree and picked up a small box with his name on it.

"Well go on open it kid, I mean why else would every present under the tree be for you?" Tyler asked as John saw a card from Heather on the present.

Dear John

I know that I may seem weird sometimes but you see under that, you see the me that not even me cheermates see, the me that I always want to be but can't seem to find until you came along, I love who I am with you around because I know that you love me too Merry Santa

Heather

John opened the present to see a friendship braclet with his name laced into it.

"This is the coolest thing ever Heather, did you make it?" John asked as Heather nodded and laced it around his arm.

"They taught us how to do this in kiddie camp when we were kids, it's like riding a bike you never forget how to do it" Heather said as John blushed at the thought of Heather giving him a charm bracelet.

Nigel held a quivering package as John thought that it was either a puppy or a kitten.

'Your really going to like this one Numbah 6, I didn't know what to get you until I found this little guy begging to be bought" Nigel said as John unwrapped the package and the black puppy lapped his face happily.

"Well what's the little guys name so we can get him a license and tags, then he can sleep in your room with you and Heather when she feels like it" Rachel said as Heather scratched the puppy's ears.

"Hi names Buster because I always wanted a puppy named Buster, and he kind of looks like a Buster doesn't he?" John asked as Heather nodded and Buster rolled onto his back to have his belly rubbed.

"All right agents open your presents and save the wrapping paper and bows for next year" Rachel said grabbing a garbage bag.

"Well John you don't have to worry about Amanda the log launcher anymore she's got her hands full with David at the moment" Heather said as Buster stretched his paws and laid in front of John's feet.

"That's right Wilbur I have a boyfriend too, your not the only one who can start dating again you know" Amanda said as David kissed her and she kissed him back.

"Well I hope you two last long, because sooner or later your going to leave her like the others did" John said as Amanda pushed David away and stepped in front of John as Buster growled angrily at her.

"Be careful Fern Buster can sesne fear like a rabbit can sense when carrots are around, and in case your wondering you're a Fern who is a fictional girl in Charlotte's Web, who's the Wilbur now?".

Amanda pulled her hand back as Buster jumped in front of John wildly and baring his teeth at Amanda.

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good laugh" Heather said smiling as the agents laughed and Amanda backed away mad.

Well that's it I wanted this out before Christmas but I've been pretty busy these days and as always thank you Tater for your replies and a merry Christmas to everyone.
