Chapter 5: Christmas Day

Keith woke up as the sun shined through the window. He had a bright look on his face, much more different than his usual look. He changed into fresh clothes and walked out of his bedroom for breakfast.

"Merry Christmas, sir. Here's your breakfast," said Gus.

"Merry Christmas, Gus." said Keith. Gus looked at him, finding his look strange.

"I'll get you your breakfast and then your tea ready, sir." but when Gus was about to turn and walk away, Keith stopped him. Gus looked at him confused.

"Actually, Gus. Since it's Christmas, you should just take the day off. Maybe spend time with your family," said Keith. Gus looked at him strangely. Keith chuckled and got up and walked to get his own breakfast himself.

"Is it me or is Keith's mood swings acting up again?" Gus asked Helios.

"Beats me." said Helios.

Keith soon disappeared and arrived on Earth. He saw kids running around, showing off their presents to their friends, neighbors, and families. Keith smiled at this scene.

"Hi ya, Keith! Merry Christmas," said Eugene as she walked up to him.

"And a fine Merry Christmas to you too, Eugene," said Keith. Eugene gave him a weird look. He was actually acting nice on Christmas?

"Whoa. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Eugene asked.

"No. I'm fine, Eugene. I've learned to be appreciative of the things I have, such as friends and family." said Keith.

"Well, uh, that's great!" said Eugene, unsure of what to think.

"Merry Christmas again, Eugene." said Keith as he walked off. Eugene looked back and smiled, grateful that Keith was in the holiday spirit!

Keith saw Bakugan Interspace and walked inside, watching the brawlers showing off the presents they all got. They all turned to see Keith.

"Hi, Keith. What's up?" Marucho asked.

"Nothing much. Just walking around," said Keith. He looked around, but he saw someone was missing. Where was Rin?

"Where's Rin at? Shouldn't she be here with the rest of us?" he asked.

"She really didn't feel like coming. She's probably at the lake or something," said Runo. Keith looked down and went to look for her.

At the lake, Rin was watching the snow fall. The lake was frozen, and it was very quiet. Rin caught a few snowflakes that melted when they hit her gloves. Suddenly, she turned around and saw Keith.

"Hi, Rin. Do you mind if I join you?" asked Keith.

Rin blushed when she saw him walk beside her.

"Are you feeling ok?" asked Keith.

"I guess so," said Rin. She looked up at him and saw his smile.

"Rin, there's something that I would like to tell you. I'm sorry for my behavior yesterday. I was just being stubborn," said Keith.

"Yes. And not only that, you really hurt my feelings. But, since you apologized, I forgive you!" said Rin with a wide smile. Keith was smiling wide for the first time.

"Oh, man!" Rin grew a little down again.

"What's wrong now?" Keith asked.

"I forgot to give you a Christmas present. I was so focused on thinking of you, I forgot to get you something. Is that bad?" Rin asked nervously.

Keith simply shook his head. He soon walked up to Rin, who grew confused again, but a feeling crept up inside her that made her feel good.

"What're ya doing?" asked Rin.

"Nothing." lied Keith. Rin wanted to say something at first, but was cut off when Spectra's lips attached themselves to hers!

Rin was shocked by this. This was surely unexpected of him.

"Merry Christmas, Rin," said Keith.

"Merry Christmas…Keith," said Rin. They both smiled and kissed again before deciding to head to Bakugan Interspace where a Christmas party was being held.

"There you guys are! The party's just getting started!" said Eugene with a wide smile.

"Yeah! Enjoy the fun!" said Mira.

Rin and Keith smiled and joined their friends.

Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Shun was wrapping a special gift for Eugene. He was making something special for her, and he had a smile on his face the whole time. And the best part was, Eugene didn't even know that she was getting a present for him.

Inside the room, Eugene was talking to Rin and Runo a funny story about Pyxunoid, with all three of them laughing the whole time. Runo literally had tears in her eyes and was on the ground, holding her stomach.

"No! The best part was…" Eugene began again, but their funny conversation was interrupted when Shun walked over.

"Huh? What's up, Shun?" asked Rin. Runo wiped her eyes and got up

"Nothing much. Eugene, I have something for you," said Shun, handing her a box wrapped in snowmen wrapping paper.

"What's this?" Eugene asked, shaking the box. She was a little surprised by this. She never expected to get a present from one of the brawlers.

"Oh, just a little something." said Shun, rolling his eyes with his hands behind his back.

Eugene was eager to see what it was. She tore the wrapping paper and took off the lid, with more crumpled up paper inside. When she finally was done working her way through, Eugene pulled out something. Literally, she almost fainted. Inside the box was a Hetalia: Axis Power t-shirt and the complete series on DVD!

"H-Hetalia?" Eugene asked. Everyone grew shocked.

Shun nodded. Eugene screamed and jumped up and down.

"Oh my gosh! I love this! Where'd you get these?" asked Eugene.

"Let's just say my dad knows people," said Shun.

"Thank you so much, Shun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Eugene hugged him tightly.

"Ugh! You're welcome Eugene, but you're crushing me!" said Shun.

"Whoops, sorry!" Eugene quickly let him go, and she and Shun just laughed.

All of the brawlers laughed and they all enjoyed the party. This was truly a Christmas that both Eugene and Rin would never forget.
