A/N: Once Again apologies to all, did not want to get behind on this, but the gaps will be filled in. Enjoy this anyway.

11: December 24th 5:30 P.M. 177th Branch Office Judgement.

"Really guys you didn't have to get me anything."

"Oh its no problem at all Konori. Besides you've always been there for us we might as well have gotten you something in return."

As I received the box from Misaka and Saten my heart began to pound wildly, what oh what could it be. One rip and then it revealed itself.

"Oh sweet…."

The outfit was well done and put in some serious detail and I could tell it was really crafted especially for me.

"Yeah, Saten and I saw you had a secret aspiration to design tennis outfits so we gave this some thought and made one based on your red jacket."

As I smiled and held it my thought then turned to those boxes in the corner. I really hoped that they enjoyed them. Especially given what I had to put into getting them assembled.

"Okay my turn what did you all get me."

With Sharai's enthusiasm into the charade we all handed her envelopes.

"Okay guys you really all didn't have to get me the same thing."

Yet there was the same thing in all of the envelopes, gift cards. The look on her face was a mix if surprise and shock.

"As much as I wanted something from my favorite store, you all didn't get me something more impressive than this."

Misaka flashed me a smile saying she had a little extra up her sleeve. One handoff of a bright green bag was all she did and the face on Sharai filled up with excitement.

"Oh Sissy I knew you would come through." As her hands grabbed the bag and pulled out the item in question that look of excitement turned into dread.

"Uh…"

"Oh Kuroko, you know that you already have enough frilly clothing as it is. And since you say all I do is have my favorite frog on the brain, you can have that favorite bunny of yours too."

As the rest of us got a gander at Bunny PJ's, Sharai looked at Misaka with a mix of gratitude and horror. While that moment passed between them, Uiharu and Saten exchanged their small gifts both were digital picture frames with preset images of their day to day lives and friends of the groups. But Uiharu then ended up finding another in a small bag.

"Oh Misaka I almost forgot, here's yours."

The handoff was quick the surprise on her face was quicker.

"Uiharu what's this, I thought that lamp from Saten was from both of you guys?"

"I ended up lucking out and wining a grand prize drawing, of course between a choice of a vacation to Paris or a tablet, I initially went with the trip until I saw the tablet and realized…."

Misaka opened up the bag and pulled it out. The look on her face went from anticipation to sheer delight in a mere 3 seconds.

"The Gekota Tablet?"

"Yeah, I figured you'd be far better off with it than I ever would."

As Misaka shrieked and squealed hugging Uiharu the focus turned at last back to me when came the last two gifts of the night, mine. But before that Misaka and Saten both got up and grabbed their cards that I had for them on the desk.

"Sorry, its not much guys, but the whole team thing played big here."

Their faces nodded in gratitude, while I handed the identical boxes over to Sharai and Uiharu. With each rip they got close and as the boxes hot the floor they held them aloft.

"Oh, wow, Konori is this the same as your jacket?" Uiharu inquired while SharaiiImmediately put hers on to see if it fit.

"Yep, copied mine down to the very last detail and got your sizes all measured up. The goal is to make sure that you'll remember that were always a team, even after I'm long gone."

Sharai shed a tear and both hugged me in earnest. As I grabbed mine from my closet, they put on theirs and we got our photo shoot on. As we cleaned up the office and prepared for the long walk over to my place the night seemed silent and quiet. Honestly there is nothing quite like Christmas Eve.

"Hey Sissy, I look great in red don't I?" Sharai was already flaunting, while Uiharu grabbed the trash and headed for the dumpster. Saten smiled and I helped her sweeping, luckily the office is shut down tomorrow, so there will hopefully be no discernable reason for even coming in. I whistled out the first few bars of jingle bells and pretty much the others whistled along. A mere 25 minutes was all that was needed and we assembled at the front ready to shut down.

"Well, shall we take this party back to my place?"

The others cheered and I flipped the switch off showing the very nice Christmas lights we had placed in the window. One by one we shuffled out and into the night air. A 40 minute walk was ahead as we prepped for the rest of the night. The others thankfully brought sleeping bags, although I had cleaned up right away in the morning I was seriously preparing for any odd scenario that may pop into place.

It was as we got away from Judgment and we came into the city that the true majesty of the night began to occur. Almost no activity, barley any traffic, lights strung everywhere. The haunting calls of Christmas Carols all over the place.

"You can truly get why this is known as a silent night."

Saten's blurb aside we ended up passing by a church that was in the middle of Christmas Eve mass. I never wondered if these guys ever thought about the true meaning of the Holiday beyond its materialism.

"So how does this work anyway." Misaka wondered aloud trying to shoo off Sharai who I could tell would cause it to be knocked from her hand. Luckily Uiharu was nearby and helped her figure it out. Saten stride to the back of the pack behind me and we got to talking about stuff.

"Hey, those jackets were really beautiful."

"I know, I wanted to make sure when I leave they keep a part of me with them, Those two have been with me forever, and its going to be hard saying bye to them and this city."

Saten smiled and chuckled at that causing me to laugh it up too.

Another 15 minutes and we finally reached my building. As I opened the door the others strut about setting up the sleeping bags accordingly, I switched my attention to getting out of my clothes and into some warm PJ's the others all laughed and enjoyed themselves. By the time I came out somehow the others had all been able to switch into their own PJ's. Misaka wearing her standards, and Sharai fashionable in her new bunny ones.

"Hey Konori?"

Uiharu ended up pulling me aside to show something of her's that she had done.

"Oh that's actually not bad."

"Yeah I'm aware, I was wondering what was going on for New Year's Eve?"

"New Year's Eve?"

"Well yeah, since we had a fun little party tonight, why not, we could make it bigger in scale, clear out the entire office, hire a DJ inviting anyone and everyone."

Saten then ended up joining us.

"If Konori's throwing the party you know I'm in."

Boy was she hopped up on chocolate.

A New Year's Eve party, If what she's suggesting can occur without hitch then I'm in. The only problem would be if anyone would commit anything between now and then.

"Lets bring this up on the 27th, and if we can get approval from the superiors we'll go from there."

Uiharu smiled as we all rolled out onto the floor. For it being Christmas its sure felt like something I was lacking. A bonafide slumber party, and there are no 4 better people to spend it with then them. I switched the lights off and we all ended up falling asleep after another hour of giggling/trying to get Misak'as tablet working. Christmas was fun, now comes the best 5 days of the year.
