Congratulations you made it to our Christmas special. Hope you like it!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
It was that time again! When snow frosted the trees, mistletoe hung in doorways, and the fireplaces were lit. Christmas had finally rolled into Los Noches. The only problem was...There was no snow, no mistletoe, and no fireplaces. Katie woke up the 23rd of December and frowned. Where were the decorations, and the Merry Christmas banners?
"We're gonna have to fix this!" Katie said sitting straight up in her bed. She threw the covers off her and swung her legs over the side. The cold marble made her shiver as she walked over to her closet and threw open the doors. Looking around she sighed and pulled on a uniform. She really wished she had on her favorite fuzzy sweater and a pair of her yoga pants, but she had stuff to do.
Katie yanked a brush through her hair and pulled it up in a ponytail as she walked down the hallway. Stopping to rummage in her pocket for a bobbipin, Katie stopped outside Brooke's door. Brooke had the habit of locking her door now. If Grimmjow had just decided to prank her somewhere else instead of opening the bathroom door on her, then Katie wouldn't have to deal with this problem. But no! Grimmjow had to open the door and scare her half to death while she took a shower. Dumbass!
Picking at Brooke's lock was easy; Katie heard a click and the door opened. She knew that the Espada wouldn't have trouble getting in here if they needed to, but Brooke still locked it anyways. Katie walked into the dim room and laughed. Brooke was upside down in her window seat with her IPod playing and crumpled paper all around her. Charcoal coated her fingers and a smudge was on her forehead. Katie tiptoed over to Brooke and poked her.
"Brookie wake up! We have a problem!" Katie poked her again and she just rolled on her side.
"Meh!" she grumbled. Katie giggled and poked her again
"Brooke Christmas is gonna start without you!" she said. Brooke's eyes snapped open and she looked at her friend.
"It's Christmas?!?" she asked sitting up.
"Nah we still have two days, but we gots and even bigger problem than that." Brooke stood up and stretched.
" 'An what's that?" she asked.
"There aren't any decorations, or Christmas trees, or any Christmas themed anything around!" Brooke fake gasped.
"Oh my Gebus! We need ta get goin then!" Brooke ran to her closet and grabbed a uniform and slid into her bathroom and closed the door. Katie heard a thud and some swearing.
"Turn off my IPod!" Brooke shouted from behind the door. Katie turned it off and waited for Brooke to finish getting dressed. A few minutes later, she came out fully dressed, clean, and brushing her hair out of her face.
"Alright, you ready?" Katie nodded and they headed out the door.
"Do you think Aizen has any decorations?" Katie asked as they walked to his throne room.
"I don't know. I guess we'll just have to find out then don't we?" she said. They walked down the winding halls and finally reached Aizen's throne room. Before Brooke could lift a fist to knock, they heard Aizen tell them to come in.
"Urgg! It's so creepy how he always knows when we're coming!" Katie said pushing the door open. They shuffled in and looked at Aizen. He was sitting on his throne with a hand on the side of his face looking down at them.
"Good morning girls, what did you need this morning?" he asked. Katie stepped forward and looked at Aizen.
"Well I was wondering about the decorations" she said. Katie looked up at Aizen waiting.
"What decorations?" Aizen asked curiously.
"Exactly! There are none and it's almost Christmas, so Brooke and I were wondering if we could decorate Los Noches." Katie pleaded her case to the man on his throne. Aizen sat in thought and both girls waited patiently. Finally he spoke.
"I think that's a charming idea. Ulquiorra!" Aizen said calling out for the 4th Espada. Ulquiorra came out of nowhere and stood at the base of Aizen's throne. Brooke and Katie jumped in the air when he spoke.
"Yes Aizen-sama?" he asked in his monotone voice.
"Dude!! You scared the crap out of us!" Brooke yelled trying to pry Katie off her. Both Aizen and Ulquiorra looked at Brooke and she quit talking.
"Sorry, please continue" She said. Katie just rolled her eyes.
"The girls are going to decorate Los Noches for Christmas; I want you to help them with whatever needs done. I think this place needs a little cheering up around here." Ulquiorra nodded
"Of course Aizen-sama" with that they were all dismissed. Brooke and Katie led the way out while poor Ulquiorra followed in tow.
"Ok so we're going to need a tree in each room, and decorations all over the place. We're gonna have to go all out on this." Katie said pulling her notepad out.
"Yup the 'Spada need to get the true experience of Christmas!" Brooke said grinning and thinking about all the ways to annoy and aggravate them with mistletoe.
"Ok Ulqui-chan we need to go back to our world to get Christmas trees and decorations." Katie said looking at the emo.
"Aizen-sama will not let you go." He said in a matter-o-factly voice.
"Well he said we could decorate Los Noches and to do that we need Christmas trees and decorations from the real world. So let's go Emocar" Brooke said ushering him forward. Sighing he opened a portal and they went back to get what they needed.

"Are we done yet? I'm ready to leave" Brooke whined for the third time.
"Yeah will you wait a minute geeze?" Katie put some more garland into one of the five carts they had. After double checking that they had everything they headed for the checkout counter. A small part of Brooke felt bad for the cashier, another bigger part was laughing it's ass off at the faces that he made.
"Ha I think he might quit after he's done checking all this crap out" Brooke whispered to Katie. They both fell into a fit of laughter. After a long wait for the cashier to finish checking them out, they went and wheeled the carts out to the parking lot.
"Ok so how are we going to get this stuff back without drawing attention?" Brooke asked peering over at Ulquiorra.
"Umm very sneakily?" Katie said shrugging her shoulders. A second later they were back in the halls of Los Noches.
"Whoa! How did you do that Emocar?!?" Brooke said. He just looked at her.
"Oh well we'll figure it out later, we got stuff to do." Katie said. She grabbed Brooke's arms and dragged her down the hall leaving Ulquiorra to grumble to himself about not being a glorified babysitter, before taking off after them.

After four hours of working, there were Christmas trees in almost every room, Mistletoe hung in every major doorway, and decorations hung everywhere. The grand staircase had red bows and green garland lacing its way up to the top. Katie stepped back and looked at her work. She had officially finished decorating her last tree. It was the biggest in the whole place, reaching about nine feet tall. The tip of it brushed the railing of the grand staircase. She was in charge of decorating the center of Los Noches. It was huge and took a long time to finish. But now that she was done, she could go on a decorate something else. Grimmjow walked past as Katie looked around observing her work.
"Hey Grimmy, do you think you could do something for me?" He looked at her then back at the tree.
"What, do you think I'm some kind of charity worker?" he said gruffly. Katie looked at him and noticed that he was wearing a red Santa hat.
"Nice hat, but no I was wondering if you could do the honors and put the angel on top of the tree" Grimmjow looked at the angel she held in her hand. "You really tall and I can't reach that high"
"Ehh, whatever." He swiped the angel from Katie's hands and went to place the angel on top of the tree. They both stood looking at the tree.
"Good job thanks, see ya later I have to go see what Brooke did. Oh and you can have this." Katie said. She wrapped an extra piece of green garland around his neck before taking off to find her BFF.
It didn't take long to find her; she was in the living room type room sitting on one of the white couches untangling some lights. Strands of mistletoe hung in every available doorway.
"Nice, but don't you think you went a little overboard with the mistletoe?" Katie asked.
"Nope, I got so many people with that I think I'm gonna keep it around all the time!" she grinned happily.
"Oh man, who did you get?" Katie said thinking of the possibilities
"Well my first victims- I mean friends to test it out were Grimmy-kitty and Ulquiorra. But both of them refused. So to get out of it Ulquiorra is going to clean my room for the week and Grimmy gets to sing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve for everyone!" Brooke and Katie started laughing.
"Ok so I think everything is about finished I think we-"Katie was interrupted by Nnoitra who stormed into the room with a red face and green hair. Brooke and Katie took one look at him and started rolling on the floor.
"Who did this? " He said pointing at his face.
"I don't know!" Katie choked out.
"Whoever they are needs an award!" they went on laughing as Nnoitra stomped off looking for someone to kill.
"Ok, so I think that everything is done around here. What do you think?" Katie said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Yup our stockings are out and stuff, so I think we're a go!" Brooke and Katie high fived and collapsed on the couch.
"Ok so tomorrow we need to get each of the 'Spada their own stockings and Christmas presents." Brooke said. Katie agreed and they went on to plan what they were going to get.
Merry Christmas everyone! From both Brooke and I this is a little Christmas Eve gift from us to you fantastic readers. Have a super merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!
