H- Happy Holidays

Summary: Shenzi Tuck and Chuckie Finster's high school throws a party for Christmas. Will the smart, awkward couple finally have their first kiss there?

"So Shen, you excited for the Christmas party?" 16-year-old Chuckie Finster asked his girlfriend of a year, Shenzi Tuck.

"Yep," She nodded, "Christmas is my favorite holiday."

"Of course it is," He chuckled with a cheeky grin.

"Not just because of the presents!" She giggled. "I also like festive decorations, clothes, movies, and music. Plus I help my parents with wrapping presents every year. So does Frankie."

"So, we're shopping for them today?"

"Uh huh," She nodded, "And for your family as well, and our friends."

"Yep, but we'll have to wait until we're not together to shop for each other. And by not together, I mean we're at separate places."

"I know what you meant," She assured him, "I would never dump you." She kissed his cheek.

"And I would never dump you either," He held her closer by her shoulders, "You're the best girlfriend any guy could ask for."

She blushed timidly at that. "Aww, thanks. And you're the best boyfriend ever." She snuggled on his shouler with one hand over his as they walked in the mall.

"So, what're you getting for your parents?" He asked her after a moment of silence.

"I'm not sure yet," She shrugged, "I'll just see what I find."

"Sounds good to me. I bet you'll find something they'll like."

"I hope so. What're you getting your folks?"

"I dunno," He replied, "I'm afraid of seemingly being racist if I get my mom something related to Japan."

"Why not something subtle, like Hello Kitty?" Shenzi suggested.

"Hmm... okay, I'll do that. Maybe I'll get Kimi something related to Sanrio as well."

"How did you know that Hello Kitty's from Sanrio?"

"Because you're my girlfriend, and you love Hello Kitty," He smirked at her.

"Oh yeah, that is true," She giggled.

"Thanks for the idea." He kissed her cheek.

"No prob."

As they browsed, Chuckie looked down at Shenzi. "So, you have your outfit ready for the party?"

"Yep," She nodded, "I have it hanging in my closet. What about you?"

"It's on my bed," He replied, "Kimi wouldn't get off my case until I had it laid out."

"Ah," She giggled, "Well, you know Kimi." She shook her head. "So helpful."

"I guess."

After a while, they walked back to Chuckie's car, with their hands full of bags. They stashed them in the backseats, before sitting up front. "Well that was fun," She remarked as she buckled herself.

"Yep," Chuckie agreed after he was strapped in, "Hopefully our parents and sisters won't peek."

"I bet they won't," She assured him, "Kimi gets excited, but she respects the holidays. So does Frankie, and as do I."

"You mean you respect the holidays, or do you get excited?"

"Both," She replied.

"Yeah, me too," He kept his eyes on the road as he drove. "I can't wait to see what you'll get for me."

"How do you know I'm getting you a present?" She teased him.

"Wait, you're not getting me anything?" He went along with her little game, pretending to be hurt. "Aww, I thought you loved me." He pouted sadly.

"I do!" She laid her hands on his shoulder, as he was trying not to smile. "I do love you!" They had confessed their true love to each other a few weeks ago, but surprisingly, they haven't had their first kiss yet. The perfect moment just never came for them. "I was kidding! I am getting a present for you!"

"I know, I was kidding too," He let himself chuckle, "I know you can't resist treating me during the season of giving."

"You're right, I can't," She giggled, "And I know you'll get something for me."

"I certainly will," He nodded, "I know what you like. It'll be easy." He quickly kissed her cheek, then focused on the road again.

"It's same for me with you. I know what you like."

"That's good," He flashed a loving smile at her for a second, "I can't wait to see what you get for me."

"And I you." She snuggled his shoulder for a moment.

On Saturday, Shenzi made herself ready for the party. She changed into a Jack Skellington Moon Dress, a themed Santa hat matching the former, clipped a Jack Skellington cosplay hair bow on the hat brim, Jack Mickey Head stud earrings, black Jack bow socks that covered her knees, a black moto jacket with Jack's head in some places, and Jack tuxedo slip-on shoes. In her hair, she clipped an orange extension in her long bangs, and multiple black extensions that faded into ivory around her head.

She hopped in Frankie's car, and they headed for their school with excitement in their systems. Frankie's date to the party was her boyfriend, Bobby Zimmeruski, who has been friends with the two girls since their infanthood. Other friends they've had since then are Bobby's twin sister Roxy, Maxie Goof, his little brother Matt, and their cousin Santana.

Shenzi's date was, in case you didn't know by now, Chuckie. They met when she and most of her friends started attending the same prescool as him and most of his friends. They clicked immediately, and formed a tight bond throughout the years, and in their first year of high school, they started dating. A while after that, he asked her to be his girlfriend, and she immediately, and eagerly said yes. That was a bit over a year ago, and their bond was still strong as ever.

They arrived at their destination after around a minute or two, and immediately jumped out of the car after Frankie turned it off. They dashed into the building, which was heavily decorated for the party and the festive season, and met up with their dates by the gym doors. "Hi!" Frankie greeted Bobby.

"Hey," He smiled at her, and kissed her lips for a second, then turned to Shenzi. "Chuckie's in the little boy's room, Shenzi. He shouldn't be long."

"Okay, thanks," She nodded. Bobby then turned back to his blonde girlfriend. "Let's get in there while it's not too packed."

"Good idea," She nodded, then turned to her sister, "See you in the gym, Shen!"

"You too," Shenzi waved shortly as the two walked in the room where the party was going on. After around a minute of waiting, she heard sudden, pounding footsteps heading towards her. She smiled when she saw Chuckie running up, and stopping in front of her.

"He-hi Shen," He panted, "I hope you didn't have to wait too long."

"Nah, I didn't," She assured him, "Only like a minute. You look really great."

"Thanks," He glanced at his outfit. It consisted of green jeans, red Converse high-tops, a classic Santa hat, and a festive sweater. It looked to have a yellow bow on the front like a present, with 4 red and green different sections. The bottom left and top right were solid, while the bottom right and top left had buffalo plaid. "You look festive too."

"Thanks," She giggled, "Come on, let's go in there."

Hand-in-hand, the couple walked in the gym, where the party was already in full swing. People were dancing, mingling, kissing, etc. all around the room. "What should we do first?" He asked her.

"Hmm," She thought about it, before "Once Upon a December" by Eileen Johnson started playing. "Ooh! Let's dance." She ran to the dance floor, almost dragging her boyfriend behind her, and they started dancing in a quick, but romantic way. Among the couples was Maxie and Roxy, Lil DeVille and Harold Frumpkin, Tommy Pickles and Kimi Finster, Phil DeVille and Wally Ramone, Fridge Kaminski and Nicole Boscarelli, and others.

As they danced slowly and closely to "Christmas Eve With You" by Glee cast, Chuckie couldn't help but stare into Shenzi's eyes, or eye. They, or it, sparkled from the lights above the floor, her long eyelashes practically fluttered when she blinked, and she had the prettiest smile.

Chuckie wasn't sure what he was doing, but he started leaning his head down towards Shenzi's, and she leaned up towards his, both of them with their lips puckered and eyes slowly closing. His heart leapt when they connected; Her tiny lips felt so soft against his. He laid his left hand on her neck and cheek, as her hands laid on the back of his neck. He didn't know how long they stayed like that, but he didn't want to break away, ever. And neither did she. They were both in heaven, and felt like they were flying.

But after several seconds, the need for air won them over, so they separated and gazed into each other's eyes. "I love you, Shen," Chuckie whispered lovingly through the music as he brushed her soft, silky hair from her face.

"I love you too, Chuck," She whispered back with as much love in her words. They shared another kiss as the rest of the students danced around them, unaware of the romantic scene.

On Christmas Day, the Tucks and Finsters gathered at the latter's house to open presents, or at least so that Shenzi and Chuckie could give each other presents in person. "Here, Chuckie." She set a soft-feeling flat square wrapped in festive paper in front of him. "When I saw this, I immediately thought of you."

"Thanks, Shenzi." Chuckie grabbed a section of the paper and tore it off, revealing a dark denim jacket. It was simple, but perfect. "I love this!" He held it up for Chaz, Kira, and Kimi to see. "Thanks!" He hugged his girlfriend with the jacket in his lap.

"You're very welcome," She smiled as she hugged him back.

"Now, for your present." He placed a small package covered with festive wrapping paper on her lap.

"Ooh," Her eyebrows raised up in interest. She ripped off the paper, and her heart jumped for joy at what she saw: Dangling earrings, a ring, hair clips, and a necklace all with an adorable, baby bat. "Aww! These are adorable!" She squealed. "Thanks so much!" She practically lunged forward, and hugged him tightly.

"You're welcome, sweetheart," He hugged her back, "I was browsing on the website when I saw these, and I thought of you, because they're dark, yet cute at the same time, like you." He kissed her blushing cheek.

"Well, they're awesome; I love them."

"I'm glad you do. And I love that jacket. I'll wear it every day."

"Aww," She blushed deeper, "Thanks, Chuck. I'm glad you like it." She laid her head on his shoulder, as their presents were on their laps. "This is the best Christmas ever."

"I couldn't agree more," Chuckie laid his head on hers, unaware that their respective families were smiling very widely at the sweet scene.
