Chapter 38!
A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger!
Akiza and Yusei started to sweat.
"What do I do?" Yusei thought.
He then saw Mac come over to him.
"Oh Mac! Thank goodness! Can you take over for me?" Yusei asked.
"Sorry, but this closes at 4 and it's almost 4 right now. In fact, those kids at the end are the last ones of the day."
He gave Yusei a smile and whispered in his ear..
"Great job Yusei! You did well for your first day."
Yusei bit his lip as Mac walked towards the line. He takes a round red piece of leather and clips it behind Leo.
"You kids are lucky," he said to the twins and Dexter, "You're the last ones to get in today."
"We are?" asked Leo, "Awesome!"
"Good thing we ran into you when we did Dexter," Luna said.
The three kids in the front of the line finally decided who'd go first and one of them went to Yusei's lap.
As the kid talked to him, Akiza wondered how she could hide her identity.
"Maybe, I should put my bangs inside my hat. That way, they can't see my hair color."
She tries to tuck it in. Some hair stayed inside, but some didn't.
"Ugh," she groaned as she looked at a mirror next the front of the line.
Akiza bit her lip as another kid went up.
"Screw it. I'll just have to change my voice," she thought.
Yusei finally got the third and final kid, that was left until it was Luna's turn.
"I'll just have to pray that she doesn't recognize my voice," he thought, "I'll have to over exaggerate the Santa part."
The kid got his picture and it was Luna's turn.
"Next," Akiza said in a rather high tone.
Leo and Dexter laughed.
Luna ran up and sat on Yusei's lap.
"Why hello little girl," Yusei said in a deeper tone than he normally used, "Aren't you looking cute today."
"Hi Santa," Luna said happily.
"She is so cute," Akiza thought.
"What's your name?" Yusei asked.
"Luna."
"Luna...that's a nice name for you," Yusei said.
"Aww...thanks Santa."
"What do you want Santa to bring you?"
"I want a Sunlight Unicorn figurine. It comes in a pink box," she said.
"Oh, of course I can give you that," Yusei said.
"Can I give you a hug Santa?" Luna asked.
"Ugh, sure," Yusei said a bit uneasily.
Luna hugged him and Yusei could feel her dig into the fat suit.
"Wow Santa! You're not as big as I thought," Luna said, "Did you lose weight?"
"Ugh, yes."
"Say Luna," Yusei said, "Do you think any of your friends or family have been good this year."
"Oh yes," Luna said, "My friends Yusei, Martha, and Akiza are all really nice to me and help me with my schoolwork. My brother's a little more annoying, but he's still good too."
"Well that sounds great Luna. Look over there and we'll take your picture."
They take the picture.
"Thanks Santa! Merry Christmas!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas," Yusei said in a Santa tone.
"Next," Akiza said, but she forgot to change her voice.
Dexter walked up to Santa as Leo stayed at the line.
"You know, you sound awfully familiar," Leo said.
"Oh really," Akiza said in a high tone.
"Well, not now," he said, "I guess I was just hearing things."
Dexter was now sitting on Yusei's lap and was answering the usual questions.
"So, what do you want for Christmas?" Yusei asked.
"Well thanks for asking! I want a electronic memory square, a remote control robot, a new BHN Kavier game, a..."
Dexter kept going and kept asking for more technology things.
Yusei kept pretending to listen. Finally, Dexter stopped.
"And...a new Elextro watch," he said.
"Anything else?" Yusei asked in an annoyed tone.
"No...I think that's it."
"Okay, smile for the camera."
They took the picture.
Finally, it was Leo's turn.
He ran up and hoped onto Yusei's lap.
"How's it shaken Santa?" he asked.
"Well, very good," Yusei said, "What's your name?"
"Lenard, but call me Leo," he said.
Akiza walked over to listen.
"Okay Leo, what do you want for Christmas?"
"I want a Power Tool Dragon action figure," he said proudly.
"Okay," Yusei said, "But do you think your friends and family have been good too?"
"Well, that's tough to say."
"What?" Yusei thought.
"Tough to say?" Akiza thought.
"Well, why do you say that?"
Leo looked at his lap as he talked.
"Well, my friends Yusei and Akiza, they're nice and help my sister and me with our homework and stuff," Leo started.
"Well that makes them good guys," Yusei said.
"Yeah, but Yusei can't keep his hands off of Akiza. Akiza can't keep her hands off of him. They're boy and girlfriends," Leo said.
Akiza and Yusei blush and look at one another.
"They also have something bad that sticks out. Yusei's always passing gas, especially on car rides. He then tries to cover it up by opening the window or trying to pin it on someone else."
Akiza giggles.
"Akiza gets on these mad streaks. She gets mad really easily and there's no reason for it."
Yusei looks at Akiza and giggles.
"My friends Martha and Luna are nice, so they're good. I don't know where to put Yusei and Akiza. They're borderline."
"Borderline?" Akiza and Yusei thought.
Leo looked up at Yusei.
"Well, I'm sure they're good more often than bad," Yusei said.
Leo smiled.
"Yeah, probably," he said.
"Now, smile for the camera," Yusei said.
They took the picture.
"Merry Christmas Santa dude," Leo said as he gave him two thumbs up.
"Merry Christmas," Yusei said.
Luna and Dexter were waiting for Leo just outside of the Workshop. Leo walked up to them.
"Okay Leo, Akiza and Yusei said they'll meet us in about an hour. So lets go look at the toys upstairs and then come back to meet them," Luna said.
"Lets go," Leo said.
As they headed off, Yusei and Akiza went into the dressing room.
"Man! Can you believe Leo?" Yusei asked, "How does he think we're not on the good list?"
"Well, what he said was true," Akiza said.
"Yeah, but I can't help mine! You have more control over yours."
"What was that?" Akiza said in a mean tone.
"See right there," Yusei said.
He smiled at her and Akiza slowly smiled.
They then started to laugh.
Later, when they met Leo and Luna, the twins couldn't stop telling them about sitting on Santa's lap.
"Look at this picture of me," Luna said.
"Yes, you look very cute," Akiza said.
"What about my photo?" Leo said.
"Yours is cute too," Yusei said.
When they got home, Martha had supper made.
Akiza finished early and Yusei told her he was going to work on his duel runner. He also said that he needed some scissors and a few other things.
Akiza brought the supplies into the garage, when she noticed Yusei's gloves sitting by his computer.
"Wow! I've always wanted to try these on," she said.
She set the things down and picked the gloves up.
She closed her eyes and imagined Yusei slipping these same gloves on.
When she opened her eyes, she was stunned.
The top of her fingers were sticking out of Yusei's gloves.
"Oh no,"she said, "My fingernails must have broken through the stitching!"
Akiza tried to set the gloves down and put them next to his computer.
When she lifted her hand back, she, accidentally, knocked the computer over and onto the hard paved garage floor.
Akiza gasped again.
She then heard Yusei putting his dishes in the sink.
"I gotta get out of here! Yusei's gonna pulverize me," she thought.
She picked up the items she had brought, ran out, and hid near the bathroom as she watched Yusei go into the garage.
Akiza followed and carried the supplies in.
"Oh no," Yusei said.
"What is it?" Akiza asked.
"My gloves have holes in the top."
He shows them to her.
"I must have pulled them on too tight," he said.
"I have to say something," Akiza thought.
"And look," Yusei said.
He picked his computer up.
"The screen's broken," he said.
"Well, what are you going to do?" Akiza asked.
"Well, the screen doesn't take long to repair. I'll wait until after the holidays, because school and work will limit my time with my runner."
He looked at the items Akiza had brought.
"Thanks for bringing those Akiza."
"Your welcome Yusei."
They smiled at one another.
"I have to go...um...do some schoolwork," Akiza lied.
"Okay. See you later."
Akiza went upstairs and into her room. She laid on her bed.
"I've got to pay Yusei back for wrecking his computer screen and ripping his gloves."
She then sat up.
"Wait! I'll use the money I make to pay for them both! Plus, I'll have two gifts to give to Yusei! This is perfect!"
Akiza smiled as she giggled quietly to herself.
