DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sue Thomas FBeye or any of its characters, so if you recognize a person from this program or any other (I might put in a cameo here and there), know that I do not own them at all. All scenarios and people that you do not recognize, I own that, though they might be inspired from something else, but in no way is it copying them. If I am missing something in this copyright notice, please let me know!

KEY: Italics are a memory, and all caps is ASL. Sorry, some of my ASL grammar is bad. I only know some ASL, so if anyone knows how to properly say any sentences I write in ASL, please let me know, and I will change it to be how it should be!

NOTE TO sa61154: I would LOVE that, however I don't think they would! Think about it; the way I have it (which is the minimum age, I elaborated how I got to it in a season 1 episode), when Mellody goes off to college, Jack will be officially a senior! Sue and Jack would be in their 70's when that baby gets to college-not something I would want to deal with when I'm that age! So no offense, but that's not happening, so sorry!

Maddy frowned as she looked at her computer one Saturday in December.

"WRONG WHAT?" Mya signed as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, directly in front of her sister, who was sitting at the dining room table.

Seeing the movement, she looked up. "Oh, nothing really. I just was supposed to have something a few weeks ago." She replied.

"What do you mean?" She asked, sitting down next to her at the table.

Maddy shrugged. "I ordered something for a Christmas gift two weeks ago. The ETA was last week, but it still says it hasn't been shipped."

"Did you try to email the seller?" She suggested.

She nodded. "Last week, and a couple times since. No reply."

"They won't say anything?"

Maddy shook her head in annoyance. "Not a word! All I want is your Christmas gift!"

Mya smiled at her sister. "Oh, so it's my Christmas gift, is it?"

She embarrassedly looked at her sister, regretting her outburst. "I said too much."

"No, no," she replied. "Maybe that's enough motivation for me to help you."

Maddy ironically laughed. "Of course. You'll help cause it's your gift, but if it was anyone else's, you'd leave me in the dust, huh?"

She shrugged at her sister. "MAYBE."

The two sisters laughed, then got serious. "So what should I do?"

Mya unseeingly stared at the computer, deep in thought. "Let's call the selling company, see what they can do."

Maddy nodded. "But what about the item? I still want it! It's one of a kind!"

"Ooh," she replied, intrigued. "As much as I'm sure I'd like it, apparently this seller is not a good idea. How about you try searching again? Maybe it's two of a kind, or something similar?"

Her sister regretfully nodded as she watched Mya punch in the numbers to call. "I really wanted this." She grumbled, then watched the interpreter sign what the customer service rep was saying, helping them get to the place they need to go.

"HELLO!" Josh signed as he walked into the garage portion of Troy's gas station.

"HELLO!" Troy happily replied. "YOU DO-DO HERE? CAR PROBLEM?"

Smiling and shaking his head, he waved the question away. "NO. MYA, SHE ASK ME COME HERE, ASK YOU IF YOU WANT COME FOR-FOR? CHRISTMAS."

He smiled in response. "THANK YOU. BUT ME GO-TO BROTHER, HIS HOUSE."

"OH-I-SEE!" Josh replied, surprised.

He nodded. "OUR FRIENDSHIP UP DOWN UP DOWN. BUT THIS YEAR WHAT? LAST YEAR MY NEPHEW HERE."

"YOUR NEPHEW, HE GO TO COLLEGE?" He asked.

Troy sadly nodded. "TIME FLY"

Chuckling, he nodded. "TRUE BUISNESS!"

Just as he was finishing their conversation, Josh's phone rang. Showing Troy the reason for walking away, he answered the phone. "Hey, Maddy!"

"Hi. Can you come over?"

He frowned. "Is everything OK? Is Mya OK?"

"No, she's fine. She just left. I need you, someone invested in her welfare. She helped me some, but then I told her I could handle the rest so she wouldn't see what it is, just in case I get it."

He laughed at her response. "What do you need?"

"I need an FBI agent to help me solve this case."

"You do know it's Saturday, right? I don't get many Saturdays where I don't have to work, or at least catch up with something."

"I know." Maddy replied. "But it's your wife's Christmas welfare at stake!"

He laughed. "Well, when you put it that way, how could I refuse?"

"Thank you!" She happily exclaimed, then hung up.

Shaking his head and chuckling, Josh walked back to Troy.

"SOMETHING FUNNY?" He asked.

He nodded. "MADDY HAVE CHRISTMAS DISASTER."

"OH-I-SEE." He replied, widely smiling. "SAY-TO-HER SEE YOU LATER."

Josh nodded as he walked backwards out of the garage. "WILL. BYE!" With that, he turned around to get in his car.

"CHRISTMAS WHEN?" Mellody asked as she followed Sue around with a few Christmas packages that had potential.

Sue chuckled, peering over the package to see her. "In two weeks. And no, these are not for you." She replied to the inevitable question as she set the packages under the Christmas tree that they had decorated the night before.

"Aw," she complained, walking away.

Standing a few feet away, Chris looked on at the sight.

"There are gifts for you here." Sue replied, smiling as she picked one up. "Such as this one. You want to shake it to see what it is?"

He shook his head. "It's too big to be what I want for Christmas."

Sue sadly watched him as she headed back to the stairs to the spare bedroom where she had wrapped all the gifts that were going under the tree the night before, now stacked in a pile, waiting to be displayed.

"There!" Jack happily exclaimed, coming out of Sue's office. "My job is finished for the weekend!"

She sadly smiled at him in response.

"WRONG WHAT?" He worriedly asked, following her up the stairs.

"How's Chris' Christmas wish coming?" She asked when they were far enough away.

He sighed, turning serious. "I called again, but they couldn't give me anything new."

"I guess we'll just have to pray." She replied.

Jack nodded. "A Christmas miracle is the only way his wish will come true."

"Then let's pray for that Christmas miracle." Sue said, taking his hands in hers, praying with all their might that Chris' wish would be under that tree next week.
