Frank and Horatio were going shopping for the last Christmas gifts. Cooper and Ryan were following them; not because they wanted to see what they would buy, but because today they would get their revenge on the two older men for their cruel pranks weeks earlier.

It started the moment Frank got out of his car that was parked next to Horatio's. Cooper was hiding behind Frank's car with a bucket of cream in his hands and a bucket of birdseed. Ryan was hiding behind Horatio's car. Frank stretched his back and tapped on the window to alert Horatio of his presence.

"Are you coming or what?" He asked.

Horatio rolled down the window; ever since he got a new girlfriend he had been texting her and calling her. Everyone was happy for him, but it was also so… strange; was the word the team used to describe it.

"In a minute, I just have to answer this text message." Horatio smiled.

Frank shrugged and turned around. Cooper jumped up and threw the cream over the big Texan. Frank gasped as the cold liquid ran down inside his clothes. Cooper then threw the birdseed on him; the cream was used as glue to make the birdseed stick to the older man's clothes.

"AH!" Frank gasped, "What the hell was that for?"

"They're hungry." Cooper smirked and pointed at the birds in the trees.

Frank screamed as the birds flew down towards him and started eating the seed. He waved his arms and ran across the parking lot.

"AH! GET THEM OFF!" He yelled.

He stumbled over his own feet and people around thought it was a joke. The birds continued to chase the big bald man. Horatio heard the commotion and got out of his car; he saw Cooper and growled.

"Nice move Coop, but now I have to protect my partner in crime, don't I?" Horatio smirked.

Before he could get any further Cooper snatched the phone from his hands.

"No! Wait! I'll do anything to get it back." Horatio said.

"Good. You're being Santa Claus at the mall today." Ryan smirked and walked up to his boss with a Santa costume in his hands.

"What!" Horatio exclaimed.

In the background Frank could be seen running left to right, screaming and waving his arms to get rid of the birds, "AH! OH! EEK!"

"If you don't; we will call your girlfriend and tell her that you're breaking up with her." Cooper threatened.

"You guys are evil." Horatio growled.

"That makes three of us then." Ryan grinned, "Now put the costume on."

Horatio had never been as embarrassed before as he put the Santa costume on. Ryan and Cooper made sure no one could watch as the Lt. took off his suit and changed in to the costume. When Horatio was done his face was as red as his clothes.

"I hate you guys." He muttered as they lead him inside the mall.

"Aw, you're such a sweet talker." Cooper grinned.

Horatio sat down in the chair and saw the line of excited kids waiting for him to listen to their wishes. Ryan had a video camera with him of course and taped the whole thing. Horatio listened to one child after the other.

"I want a video game, toy car, toys horses, pool toys…" A young boy said and Horatio listened.

The young boy's list was extremely long and when he ran back to a woman Horatio recognized her as Calleigh.

"What the?" He exclaimed and the kids looked terrified at him, "Sorry children."

"I'm just taking my nephew to the mall." Calleigh grinned, "I didn't know you could play Santa."

"The only thing missing is the belly." Cooper teased.

"Who is that screaming in the parking lot?" Calleigh asked.

"That's Frank." Ryan said.

Frank was still running left to right and sometimes in circles as the birds chased him. His screams could be heard all over the place.

"He's getting a very good workout from this." Cooper grinned.

"And just so you know H, we will be showing this at work." Ryan smiled.

Horatio muttered something no one heard, but they were sure it wasn't very pretty.

"AH! GET OFF!" Frank yelled as he ran straight into the glass doors and was knocked out cold.

"OH!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Ouch!" Cooper laughed, "Did you get it on tape?"

"Yeah." Ryan smiled, "Now H, let's bring the next child to sit in your lap."

"You guys are so dead." Horatio growled.

"Mommy! Santa said bad words!" A little girl exclaimed.

The parents glared at Horatio and he gave them his most innocent smile.

"Sorry." He said.

Ryan and Cooper were rolling on the floor from laughing so much as the children all seemed very hesitant about really talking to the strange Santa. Meanwhile, Frank was still passed out on the floor as the birds were all over him; they couldn't say no to so much food.
