Okay, let's try to get up to 2,000 words today, shall we? (: Just kidding, that's not gonna happen. xD Alright, let's do this thing!

Gnomeo's P.O.V.

I have to make this Christmas an amazing one for Juliet. I don't want her to be crying on Christmas! This isn't going at all how I planned. But somehow, I'd come up with a way to make this the best Christmas ever. Anything for my Juliet.

"I'm scared." she whispered as we reached our garden gate.

"Don't be. I'll be by your side if you need me." I told her. She smiled and gripped my hand as we opened the gate. Everyone was gathered around the tree while Featherstone and Niagara were finding out whose present was whose.

"There you guys are!" Featherstone called to us. "Come on over! We have your presents right here."

We walked over and sat next to each other. I glanced at Juliet's father, giving me a death-stare and writing in his notepad. I felt a little nervous. But I can't mess this up for Juliet. Oh, why was I such a wimp? "Okay, so, we'll do this by drawing everyone's names which are in this jar." Niagara announced.

It took a while, but my name was finally called. Without hesitation, I looked for Juliet's present. I finally found it; wrapped in purple wrapping paper and a blue bow on-top. I saw the tag,

To the love of my life. ~Juliet

I opened it, carefully until I reached a box. "Thanks for the box." I joked. I heard a few chuckles.

"Very funny, now open the box." she laughed. I opened the flaps and pulled out the present.

"Juliet," I gasped, "I LOVE IT!"

I pulled her into the biggest hug I could ever give her. I really loved it! It was a purple silk hat with a lawnmower on it; hand-made by Juliet. And on the back, it said, Don't stop making everything amazing. I put it on and smiled. "How do I look?" I laughed.

"Like some weird guy." she joked. Ah, so you remember, aye? ;)

I laughed again and kissed her cheek. "Thanks, Jules." I smiled.

"Anything for the guy who buys the food." she joked. I laughed again and peered at Lord Redbrick writing in his notepad again. I grew nervous again, but was shocked back to reality when Featherstone called my mom's name. Mom reached down and picked up a blue present with a green bow on-top.

"Who's this from?" she asked with a smile.

"Me." Juliet smiled nervously. Mom smiled and slowly opened the present to reveal a light blue scarf with yellow patterns at the bottom of it.

"Oh my goodness.. I love it!" mom smiled, admiring the scarf. "It's beautiful! Did you make this?"

"Yeah, I couldn't afford much so I knitted a lot of the presents." Juliet laughed.

"Aw, such a sweet girl. It's true that the best presents you could get are the ones made with love from someone you care about." mom said, winking at Juliet. Juliet blushed. "Thank you so much, Juliet. I'm proud to call you my daughter." mom smiled.

"And I'm proud to call you my mom." Juliet smiled, tearing up a little. She got up and hugged my mom. I smiled and almost got teary up myself.

"Merry Christmas." my mom whispered.

"Merry Christmas." Juliet replied, smiling. She walked back over to sit by me. I put my arm around her and smiled.

"You did good, Jules." I told her.

"Thanks." she replied, leaning against me.

"Next taker is…Lord Redbrick." Featherstone called. My heart stopped. What if he opens mine and doesn't like it?

"No thanks, I save my presents for personal time." he replies, slightly laughing.

"Alrighty then." Featherstone said, reaching in for another name. A few more names were called and love was spread around. Finally, the last name was called. It was Juliet's. She had already opened a few but all that was left was mine.

"I saved the best for last." she laughed, picking up my present. She opened it up carefully and pulled out a small thin box. She smiled and opened up the box to reveal a beautiful necklace with a purple heart for the locket. "Oh my gosh…Gnomeo, it's beautiful…" she whispered, taking it out of the box.

"Open the locket." I told her. She carefully pulled open the purple heart to reveal a picture of us and reading I'll love you forever and always on the other side. "I love it!" she whispered, tearing up a little. I took the necklace, un-did it, and placed it around Juliet's neck. I latched it together and admired Juliet looking lovelier than ever. "Beautiful." I whispered. She leaned in and hugged me. "Thank you so much. I love you." she whispered. "I love you too, Jules." I chuckled. We leaned into a kiss. A few "aw's" went around. "Merry Christmas, love." I whispered to her, leaning in to kiss her forehead.

"Alright guys, time for some Christmas treats! Food's over there! Dig in everyone!" Niagara called to everyone. They all got up and headed to the 'food-table.' Nanette hopped over to us and admired my necklace. "Juliet, that looks beautiful on you!" she exclaimed. "Thanks, Nanette." She giggled. I chuckled and turned around and bumped into Lord Redbrick.

"Sorry, excuse me, sir." I said nervously, going around him. I peered at him quickly as he wrote in his notepad again. I felt something tighten in my throat.

A few hours passed and Redbrick was watching me like a hawk. He constantly wrote in his notepad, which made me really nervous.

"Hey, you okay, babe?" Juliet asked me. I couldn't tell her that her father was making me nervous.

"Yeah, everything's fine." I lied. I want her to enjoy her Christmas and not worry about me.

"You sure?" she asked, taking my hand.

"As long as you're around, everything in my life is perfect." I smiled. She smiled back and we melted into a quick kiss.

"Juliet," Lord Redbrick said, startling us.

"Yes dad?" Juliet replied.

"Are you ready?" he asked, closing his notepad.

"Ready for what?" she questioned him, raising a brow.

"We're going home." he stated.

My heart dropped.

"What?!" Juliet cried.

Ooh, another cliffhanger?! But Breezy, how could you?! Hey, I couldn't resist. Judge me. xD Don't worry, I won't leave you guys hanging for long. I promise! ;)
