Hey guys! Here's the next chapter! :D

Christmas time in New York: The most wonderful time of the year indeed. Snow around, people busy shopping for loved ones, staying in and drinking hot chocolate while people watching. I loved it. Natalie and I were sitting in a little café in the city, eating cookies and drinking coffees. We were watching the people in the streets walking by, and it was 3 days before Christmas, so people were starting that 'oh crap we still haven't gotten so and so a present!' shopping. I saw a man and 4 kids, all in Rangers jerseys. At the time, I paid no attention to it. Then Natalie smirked and poked my hand.

"May. Jor. Cute. Ee. Right behind you." I smirked at her and turned around, and couldn't believe what I saw.

"James?" I asked, and the brunette and Natalie both looked at me.

"You know him?" Natalie asked.

"August?" James smiled. He walked over to our table and smiled. "Oh my God it's you!" He laughed, giving me a hug.

"I should be the one who's shocked! What are you doing here?" I smiled, looked at him. This whole time Natalie was staring at me, totally confused by this.

"My dad won tickets to a Rangers game, so he brought us. It's kinda like a Christmas present." He shrugged. He turned to Natalie. "And who's your lovely friend?" He smiled at her, causing her to blush.

"James, this is my friend Natalie. Nat, this is James." James shook her hand, and she smiled at him.

"So, you're one of the people who wasn't a jerk to little A here?" She smiled.

"Hey, I'm not that little." I interjected, and James laughed.

"To me you are."

"To you everyone is." He laughed and then Logan came over.

"James, stop flirting with strangers and let's go!" He said, and then looked at our table. "Oh my God, August?" He smiled.

"Apparently that's my name." I smirked and Logan gave me a hug.

"I'm really sorry, but we really have to go!" Logan said, and I smiled.

"That's fine! Are you going to be in the city for a while?"

"No we leave tomorrow…" I pouted.

"Oh well, at least I got to see you!" I smiled and they said their good-byes, walking away. Natalie leaned over to me.

"Blondie's looking over here." I turned around and saw Kendall, trying to figure out something. Once I turned around, his eyes went wide in disbelief. I slightly heard Logan say 'I told you!' I laughed and gave a small wave. Kendall waved and then was dragged out of the shop.

***Page Break***

The next day, I was sitting on my couch, watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas, when my phone rang. I answered it, and smiled.

"Kendall, did you get lost in the airport?" I heard him chuckle, and could imagine him rolling his eyes.

"No, I did not. Although there is currently a huge snowstorm over Minnesota…" He said. "We can't get another flight until after Christmas." I nodded.

"So you're stuck in NYC for a few days?" I laughed.

"Sorta." He replied. "The guys and I don't know what to do…"

"So you want a tour guide?"

"Please? If you're free, that is." I chuckled.

"I guess I have some time. Meet me at the café from last night in 20." He agreed and hung up the phone. I paused my movie, and shut the TV off, and went to grab my hat, gloves, and a jacket. I pulled on my sneakers and walked downstairs and up to the café. The guys weren't there yet, so I got a hot chocolate and sat down at a table. I was sipping my coffee when my phone buzzed.

"Hello?" I answered. It was a number I didn't know, and wasn't in my contacts.

"What, is your name?" I heard a voice and chuckling.

"Is this a prank call?" I said in a plain voice, annoyed. I heard laughter.

"Not exactly." I heard a voice that sounded familiar.

"Carlos?" I smiled.

"Damn it Carlos, you were supposed to use a voice!" Logan laughed.

"Guys, what are you doing?" I asked, chuckling.

"Have you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail?" Kendall asked, I could imagine smiling.

"No."

"You won't get it." James said, and then hung up the phone. They walked through the door, and came to sit by me.

"Whose phone was that?" I smiled. James raised his hand, and I smiled, putting his name in. "Great, now you can't do it again." He pouted and laughed.

"Fine. But blame Kendall for giving me your number." I gave Kendall a look and he shrugged.

"You would have known it was me." He laughed. I shook my head.

"Well, we better get going." I said and got up from the table, in which case the boys all followed. I took them all around the city, and I got them really tired when we were done. We ended up at this pizza place that used a coal stove and made amazing deep dish.

"I don't want to walk anywhere ever again as long as I live." Carlos complained. I laughed at him, taking a bite of pizza.

"Welcome to the city." I smirked. "Unless you have a car and want to drive in tons of traffic, you gotta walk."

"What about taxi's?" Logan looked at me.

"Cost too much. Do you have money for a taxi?" He shook his head. "I thought so."

"This is some of the best pizza I think I've ever had…" James muttered. I chuckled and nodded.

"Ain't it good?" They all nodded.

"We could have used a subway?" Logan looked at me.

"Okay, you can come up with as many things as you want Logan, but we walked. Face it. It happened." He stuck out his tongue. "Are you guys, ya know, athletes?"

"Yes, but that was more of a workout than coach ever gave us." Kendall smirked. I shook my head and laughed.

"Well sorry!" I laughed. After dinner, the guys walked to the hotel and I walked to my building. I walked upstairs and in to see my dad sitting on the couch with a mug of coffee, the tree lit up.

"Hey dad." I said and hung up my jacket.

"Hey kitten. Where have you been?" He said, looking at me.

"Just showing some kids around the city."

"Do you know these kids?" I nodded. "Why don't they know the city…?"

"They're some kids I knew from Minnesota." He nodded.

"Want some Jello and finish watching Christmas Vacation with me?" I nodded, and grabbed a jello from the fridge and plopped on the couch. This is just like last year… Eating red and green jello, watching Christmas movies. Only thing missing was mom.
