Christmas

Normal POV

Amu picked up the phone right after it rang the second time. "Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, Amu-koi!" Kukai was on the line.

"Since when did you call me that?" she stuttered. Amu was blushing crazily.

She heard a chuckle. "I bet you that you're blushing? Am I right?"

Amu sighed and asked why he called her. "Well, Tadase told me that we're going to have a Guardian meeting today and that I should tell you," Kukai explained. "We're going to meet at the Royal Garden at about 11:00."

"Okay, thanks Kukai!"

"Yup, no problem. I have to go, bye," and Kukai hung up.

Amu put the phone back and told her parents about it. They understood quickly and gave her permission to go. She also told Aerro about it, but he already knew. She ate her breakfast, which was toast, and took a short bath. While she was brushing her teeth, the phone rang again. Amu heard Aerro answer it. "Amu-chan! It's Tadase!"

She ran down the stairs and grabbed the phone from her mom's hand. Amu ran back to her bathroom and sat on the toilet. "Hello?" she answered again.

"Hinamori-san, is that you?" It was definitely Tadase.

"Yeah! What do you want?" she asked politely.

"Did Souma-san tell you that we are going to have a meeting today?"

"Yes. I'm just getting ready."

"I changed the time of the meeting, and we are going to have it at 10:00 instead. It's because Yuiki-san has ballet practice and Fujisaki-san has dance practice."

"Okay, thanks for telling me," Amu said. "Bye!"

She hung up and put the phone down. Amu looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:45. "It's already 9:45!" she screamed. Without taking the phone with her, she ran out the bathroom door, chose a red shirt, a plaid skirt and red boots. She tied her hair into two pig tails with black ribbons and clipped her bangs with a red "x" clip.

"We're going now! We'll be back soon!" she shouted as she struggled to put her boots on at the front door. Finally, they were on and Amu and Aerro ran all the way to the school. She saw Tadase, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Rima, Kairi, Kunaro and Yume were waiting at the gate.

"Ah! Amu-chan, Aerro-kun!" Nadeshiko hugged them as they were approaching.

Both were greeted at the gate by everyone else. "So, uh, where are Kukai-kun and Yaya?" Amu asked.

"We don't know. But I'm guessing both of them are running late. It's rare for them though," Nagihiko answered.

They waited for a few more minutes and Kukai and Yaya appeared with tons of bags. Amu was the first to run up to them. "Do you guys need help carrying those?" she offered.

"Oh, sure, Amu-chan! That'd be great!" Kukai nodded an approval. Yaya stumbled along as Amu picked up a few bags.

Tadase, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Rima, Kairi, Kunaro, Yume and Aerro followed suit and suggested to carry a bag each. With all of them helping, they managed to get to the Royal Garden within a few minutes. "What are these for, anyway?" Yume asked.

"You'll find out soon. Let the meeting start first," Kukai grinned.

Tadase brought out a list. "Since it's almost Christmas, I was planning that we could throw a party here at the school. The first question is, when should we do it? Before Christmas Day, on Christmas Day, or after Christmas Day?"

"Let's have a vote, then! Whoever wants it to be before Christmas raise your hand up!" Aerro said.

Nobody raised their hands up. He continued. "After Christmas!"

No one again. "On Christmas!"

Everyone raised their hands up. "Christmas it is!" he shouted.

"Now that that's over with, we'll divide up the duties. They are to organize the events of the party, buy the things we need for the party, clean up the area where the party will be, and to give invitations to the students of the school. Who wants to organize the events?"

Kairi and Kunaro both raised their hands up. "We'll do it," they both said.

Tadase nodded and put their names on the list. "Buying?"

Kukai, Amu and Nadeshiko raised their hands up. "Cleaning?" Rima and Yume raised their hands up. "So that means that Fujisaki-san, Yuiki-san, Kiro-san and I will give the invitations."

"Umm! Actually, Yaya thinks that Yaya could help clean!"

Tadase just nodded and scratched out her name and wrote it beside Rima and Yume's. "Is that all?" And everyone nodded. "Okay. Sanjou-san, Ramuse-san, tell me the events, and I'll tell Souma-san, Hinamori-san and Fujisaki-san what they need to buy."

After that, everyone were busy. Except for Kukai, Amu and Nadeshiko, since they still didn't know what they needed to buy. In about 20 minutes, Kairi and Kunaro showed Tadase their list of events. Tadase then told Kukai, Amu and Nadeshiko what they needed to buy. He also said that they could buy anything else that was Christmas-y. (I don't know the events right now, so I don't know the stuff they need to buy)

They took some money and rode the bus to the mall. They went to a lot of stores and bought a few things from each. When all the supplies were bought, Kukai sat on a bench. He was the one carrying most of the heavy things, so he was tired. Amu carried the remaining heavy things, and Nadeshiko carried the small and light ones. "I think that's enough for today!" Kukai heaved. "I can't stand up anymore!"

Amu giggled and looked at the pile of what they bought; it was gigantic. Nadeshiko came back from a vending machine and saw Kukai on the bench. "Let's go back. Kukai might die before we reach the bus station if we buy some more!" Amu nodded and Kukai jumped up and cheered.

"We're finally leaving!" he shouted.

"Shush! People will hear you and think we're crazy lunatics!" Amu quieted him.

They rested for a few minutes. They left the mall and rode on the bus back to the school. Kairi and Kunaro saw them and helped bring the supplies inside. The party was going to be in the gym and on the fields. There was going to be a horse ride, a ski and snowboard hill, and a campfire to keep the guests warm. The gym was going to have food, such as donuts and hot chocolate, and some winter games. The younger kids could go to the Santa Clause, who was fake of course, and tell him what they would like as a Christmas present.

Kukai, Amu and Nadeshiko bought everything the party needed, except for the food, since the food would spoil if they left it for a while. Tadase, Nagihiko and Aerro came back by lunchtime and the Guardians went home after Tadase said that they did a good job in organizing the party. Nadeshikoa nd Nagihiko were the first ones to leave, then Yaya, then Rima after Kukai. Amu and Aerro left before Tadase. Once they got home, they drank some hot chocolate and ate their lunch.

Christmas Day/Before the Party

It was finally the party and the Guardians showed up an hour early to fix whatever was needed to fix. Tadase bought the food and setted them down onto a long table, with the help of Nagihiko, Kukai, Kairi, Kunaro and Aerro. Amu asked Nikaido to be Santa Clause, and he gladly said yes.

Party

People started showing up at the given time and soon, the gym was crowded. There were also some families outside because they couldn't all fit in the gym. The Guardians brought their skis and snowboards with them, just in case they would go down the hill. And they did. Amu didn't have to chara change this time though. Tadase, Nagihiko, Nadeshiko, Rima, Kairi and Yaya skied, while Kukai, Kunaro, Amu, Yume and Aerro snowboarded. They had races, and Nadeshiko, Kukai, Amu and Yume would usually win.

Amu also invited Utau and Ikuto to the party as well. They said they would come if they had time, and they did. Utau sang a couple of Christmas songs before she had some fun. Amu and Utau wanted Ikuto to play his violin, and he gave up and said yes. He brought his violin with him and stood on the stage. Ikuto played Yume no Tsubomi and Utau and Amu sang. (Remember that Amu heard Utau sing this song before, so I want her to sing as well)

Everyone listening clapped and cheered as they sand the last words. Amu and Utau waved and the curtain closed. Ikuto jumped off the stage and stood behind Nikaido. "You're Santa Clause?" he stifled a laugh. Nikaido rolled his eyes and ignored him. He continued to ask what the children wanted as a present.

At around 8 pm, everyone started to leave.

After Party

Amu remembered that Kukai still didn't tell them what the bags were for. "Hey, Kukai, you still haven't told us why you and Yaya brought bags that day we had the meeting."

"Well, now you get to know." Kukai led them to the small Christmas tree and pointed at the bottom. There were presents of all sizes.

"You mean they were actually presents for us?" Amu asked in disbelief. "But what about you? You don't get presents."

"I met Yaya on my way to the mall before we got to the school. She asked me what I was doing, and I told her that I was buying some things. She kept asking me what kind of things and I gave up and told her that I was buying presents for the Guardians. She told me that she could help. I think she could've bought me a present, but it really doesn't matter if I don't get anything."

He then handed out the boxes to everyone. Kukai did get one present, and, of course, it was from Yaya. When everyone was busy opening the gifts, Amu dragged Kukai out of the gym and by the campfire. "Here's a present from me!" she stepped closer to Kukai.

Amu then went on her toes so she was around the same height as Kukai. "Merry Christmas," and she gently kissed him.

At that moment, fireworks exploded and lit the night sky. What a coincidence.

-

Tuesday: The last part was the best! I loved it!

Iggy: Yeah, sweet. And it is as coincidence that there were fireworks!

Tuesday: Yup! And that's probably the last chapter of this year! I might make a New Year's Eve chapter, but I'm not sure. I'm definitely going to make a New Year's chapter though.

Iggy: Oh, and guess what! I do get presents!

Tuesday: Yay! You get presents! And I'm gonna give you a present to!

Iggy: What is it then?

Tuesday: It's a surprise! I'll give it to you later. But for now--

Everyone(and I mean everyone that I know of, in anime/manga/book/media and real people): MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
