December Tenth
Christmas Tree
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!" Beck chants loudly, driving down the LA roads excitedly.
Jade crosses her arms. "I agreed to get a dumb Christmas tree for you. Not sing mediocre carols."
"Come on! Be excited! We get to have a tree in our RV! It will be like super nature-y in there! We can decorate it and stuff!" Beck exclaims, taking a turn into the Christmas tree farm.
"Can we just buy a fake tree so we can avoid this nonsense next year?" Jade proposes.
Beck shakes his head. "That takes the fun out of it!"
"And gets rid of the disgusting smell," Jade adds.
"That smell is not disgusting! That's like saying Christmas is disgusting!"
Jade just rolls her eyes as Beck parks his car at the farm.
"C'mon! Let's go!" He says, grabbing Jade by the hand as they exit the car.
"Hello, Are you looking for a tree? Do you need help?" A girl asks them wearing a green staff shirt.
"No! We don't need your help. Bye!" Jade yells protectively.
Because one, she hates girls flirting with her boyfriend, and two, she hates when people at stores try to help her.
"God Jade, be nice, show some Christmas spirit," Beck complains as the girl runs away scared.
"I don't have Christmas spirit. Now let's find the stupid tree," Jade says, as they begin walking over to the piles of trees every where.
Most of the trees are too big to fit in the RV, so they decide on one of those small trees that are around four feet high.
"Jade, this one will fit perfectly!" Beck exclaims, pointing at the small tree.
Jade examines it for a moment, looking it over.
She nods. "Yeah," She agrees. "It's kind of cute," She smiles.
"It's not a bunny!" Beck replies, finding it irritating that it's easier for her to call a damn tree cute than her own boyfriend.
Jade just rolls her eyes.
They purchase the small three, and it's small enough to fit in Beck's car no problem.
The drive home is shorter, and Jade seems to be getting into a more Christmas-ey mood.
"We have to decorate it!" Beck says happily, carrying the tree into the RV.
Once he has it set up with water and everything, it's ready for decoration.
"Do you have your scissor collection?" Beck asks.
Jade nods, grinning because Beck remembers their Christmas tradition.
She digs under his bed, pulling out the box of at least fifty pairs of scissors, big and small.
They wrap the tree in lights and garland before each taking a pair of Jade's scissors and placing them on the tree.
Jade puts her Scissoring-scissors she got from Cat last year near the bottom, because if they fall off the tree, she does not want them getting hurt.
"This has to be the most dangerous Christmas tree in existence," Beck muses, staring at their handy work.
"The most awesome one as well," Jade adds.
But it's not really awesome until Beck hooks up the little light up star and the top.
A few years ago, Beck probably would've been surprised at how beautiful a scissor decorated tree could look.
He's dating Jade now though. Nothing surprises him anymore.
