WST: Oh yeah, this takes place at Christmas Eve. On with the story!
Toan woke up to a slight pressure on his chest. He looked up to see that Xiao was sleeping on his chest. 'Not again.' He thought as he saw the cat-girl sleeping peacefully. 'Aw, she looks so cute. I better let her sleep a little longer.' He waited for Xiao to wake up, which wasn't long. She woke up a couple of seconds later and yawned.
"Morning master." She said as she purred into his chest. Toan smiled and said, "Morning Xiao. We need to get ready." Xiao looked at her master questioningly.
"For what, master?" She asked, confused. Toan smiled.
"We have to take the present we made for everyone to them." He said pointing to the huge pile of presents. Xiao nodded and proceeded to pick up some of the presents. Toan put on a Santa hat and picked up some of the presents as well. Toan and Xiao went to Paige's house first. Toan knocked on the door and Paige immediately answered it.
"Hey Toan. Hey Xiao. Merry Christmas Eve." She said with a smile on her face. She noticed the pile of presents Toan and Xiao were carrying and asked, "Do you want some help with that?" They both nodded and Paige lifted some of the presents from them. Toan gently placed his and Xiao's presents to Paige underneath her Christmas tree.
"Should we get going master?" Xiao asked. Toan nodded and they were about to walk out, when Paige stopped them.
"Hey you guys, since you're delivering presents to people, can you take mine too?" She asked pulling out a pile of present in a cloth sack. Xiao nodded and grabbed the cloth sack and she and Toan went on their way.
They reached Alnet's house and were about to walk up the stairs when they ran into Alnet and Carl.
"Well isn't this a coincidence. We were just about to go drop off our presents, and then you two show up." Carl said as he smiled at Xiao and Toan, who smiled back. Xiao handed Carl and Alnet the 4 presents she and Toan got for them and the 2 that Paige got for them.
"Thank you so much." Alnet said as she gave Toan and Xiao the presents she and Carl got for them. Toan and Xiao smiled and walked over to Laura's house. They knocked on the door and little Gina came out.
"Hello Toan." She started. "Did you come to play with me?" Toan chuckled and said, "Not today Gina. We came to give you presents!" He gave her the 6 presents and Gina started to laugh.
"Thanks Toan. I'll tell mama when she comes back." Gina said carrying the presents inside the house. Toan and Xiao smiled and continued on their way. They walked to Claude's house and Toan knocked on the door. They waited a couple of minutes, but he never came out. Toan looked at Xiao and shrugged.
"Maybe he's asleep." Xiao shrugged and they both continued on their way. They walked to the Macho Brother's house and they knocked on the door. Kamacho cam out of the door and saw Toan and Xiao.
"Well, well. It looks like we have the new couple." Then he started roaring in laughter at Toan and Xiao's red faces.
"How did you-" Toan started to ask.
"I saw you guys chasing Paige the other day. I heard you guys talking."
(Flashback)
"This is boring." Kamacho said as he was walking around Norune Village. He was about to head back home when he saw a strange sight. He saw Paige, running from Toan and Xiao. 'This I gotta see.' Then he ran after them to see what was going on. Toan, Xiao and Paige stopped short of Alnet's house and Kamacho heard them talking.
"Don't tell anyone Paige. We want to surprise them." Toan said. He put the photo in his pocket, but not before Kamacho saw it.
"Heh, I can't wait to tell Macho." Then he sneaked off back home.
(End Flashback)
"So that's how I figured it out." Toan and Xiao blushed and asked, "Did you tell anyone?" Kamacho smirked and said, "Nah, I wouldn't do that to you two." Xiao and Toan sighed in relief and smiled. They handed Kamacho the 6 presents and went onto their way.
They went to Gaffer's buggy next and the Gaffer was waiting for them.
"Ahh, Toan, Xiao, how are you two?" He asked as he pulled out two Christmas presents. He gave them both of them one present each and they gave him the two presents from both of them and the one present from Paige. They smiled and they walked to the last stop on their present delivery list. They walked to the Old Hag's house and they were about to walk in when Claude stepped out of the house.
"Hey." He said as he was about to head home. Toan stopped him and gave him 3 presents, and went inside the old hag's house.
"Hello Toan." The old hag said as she saw Toan walk in. Toan smiled and gave her the last three presents. The Hag smiled and she gave Toan and Xiao a present each. Toan and Xiao smiled and went back home.
"Finally!" Toan said as he plopped down on his bed. Xiao did the same on her side and yawned. She fell asleep instantly and curled up to Toan. Toan blushed and fell asleep, holding onto Xiao.
Toan awoke at the crack of dawn. He was about to go back to sleep, when he remembered what the day was. "IT'S CHRISTMAS!" He yelled, waking up Xiao, who got frightened and dug her claws into Toan's arm. "OW!" Toan screamed, but comforted Xiao.
"Sorry Master. Let's go open the presents!" She yelled before jumping down the stairs. Toan smiled and chased after her. He reached the bottom, where he saw Xiao ripping open her presents. Toan went to his presents and started to do the same. He received chocolate bars, swords, attachments and some fluffy donuts. Xiao received gemstones, fish candy and some new slingshots. The only presents left were the one's they got for each other. Toan got his present for Xiao and gave it to her.
"Here you go Xiao. I hope you like it." He said nervously. Xiao looked at the present and tore it open. She let out a gasp and pulled out the item inside. It was an expertly designed necklace that had a jade stone in the shape of a fish candy in the center of the necklace. She fingered it gently, then put it on.
"Well, what do you-" Toan started before Xiao pounced on him.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She said repeatedly, planting kisses on him with each thank you. Toan blushed, but simply said, ""You're welcome." Before picking up his present. He unwrapped it and smiled as he saw the shield. It had a golden center, with a silver trim. It was encrusted with many jewels and had a smooth blue stone in the center. Toan smiled and gave Xiao a kiss on the lips. He pulled away.
"Thank you Xiao." He said before he kissed her once again on the lips. They enjoyed the feeling, and Renee was crying in joy that her son had finally found someone.
WST: Well, that's it.
Trainalf: Well, all good things must come to an end.
WST: You said that already. Please review.
Trainalf: Merry Christmas.
