A/N- Wassup?! It's TOBN here with another addition to Holiday Friends! This is the third day of my 12 day project and I am excited to bring this chapter to your computer/Phone/Whatever electronic you're using!

And with a new chapter comes a new song lyric!

"On the third day of Christmas, a person gave to me:

Three Bad-Ass Vampires
An Ethan and A Benny
And the Third Season of MBAV!"

Oh how I would love to have 3 vamps defending me...then I'd never be late for school! :)

Shoutouts to...

MBAV Fan- I hope you do start thinking. I am curious to know what you think. And don't worry: you aren't the only one who sings the song alone. Especially if your other person is too busy playing on her iPod and doesn't know the dude's part. Thanks for reviewing Fanfic buddy!

So with that, enjoy the third chapter, oh, and leave a review!

Disclaimer- I don't own MBAV or its characters, just this plot and my OC Sky. If I did, I would make MBAV a international TV Show! Everyone will know it and we would be on Season 16! YASS!

Holiday Friends: Chapter 3: The Perfect Gift

Rory walked through the snowy town, his blonde hair flying just a little. He securely fixed his hat as he walked into a store. He smiled.

He was greeted by a warm environment of Christmas decorations, the lights shining through his eyes, catching sight of a small decoration. It showed a wooden couple, spinning around on ice skates. He grinned, thinking back to why he was here...rather, who he was here for. An employee walked up to him.

"Anything I can get you today sir?" His voice was rather deep and his smile was contagious. Rory returned the bright smile.

"Actually, I am looking for a present." The man smiled. "And who shall the present be for?" Rory gave it some thought and smiled a rather goofy smile.

"It's for my girlfriend." He finally said. The man grinned instantly. "How sweet of you! Now tell me exactly what she is like and maybe I can find something for you to give her." Rory thought for a while before answering.

"Well...she used to be such a goofy dork, like me. But she...she changed. She was desperate to be popular. So she ignored me at every cost. But..but I didn't stop loving her. So when we played a game of Spin The Bottle, we kissed. She smiled and that was when I remembered that there was still some hope in our relationship. We talked and then it was official. So I want to get her something extra beautiful...like her!" The man melted, his heart fluttering with emotion. "That is real sweet; let me see what I could find."

Rory nodded eagerly as the salesman walked into the supply closet. Rory walked around the store, familiar song blaring on the radio

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Rory grinned almost at once; this had been his favorite Christmas song when he was a kid, even now! He hummed happily to the tune as he circled around a display showing a small rotating Christmas tree.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh!

The man walked out of the storage room and walked up to Rory, a smile on his face. "I think I found the perfect one. What do you think?" He handed Rory a shiny object and Rory gasped in surprise.

It was a diamond bracelet, with the words "Beautiful the Way you Are" written in cursive on the thin silver band. The hints of gold shined glistened through Rory's smiled, breathless as the diamonds sparkled through the radiant beams of the sun. He was truly stunned at the beautiful creation.

"This is...magnificent! She is sure to love it!" His thoughts suddenly snapped and he frowned. This is diamond..who knows how much this costs?

"How much do I owe you?" Rory asked, making sure he wouldn't faint from the soon-to-be price man gave it some thought before grinning. "I'll give you a box and wrap it. You and your girlfriend seem really sweet; this is on the house kid." Rory stared at the man in amazement and shock all mixed together; how could anyone give away such a beautiful accessory? But Rory never hinted a complain, just a big grin.

"No way! Thanks!" The man finished wrapping the gift and smiled back. "It's Christmas right? Have a good one kid! Tell your girlfriend the same." Rory turned around to face the man once more, a smile etched on his face. "You too sir! And I will! Thank you so much!"

And with that, Rory whizzed out of the store and back into the snowy streets. He was certainly feeling the Christmas joy! He tucked the gift securely into his knapsack and remembered the reason he was here; he had wanted to clear his mind of the Shadow and skate!

He zoomed off to the town skating rink and tied up his skates. He carefully set foot on the ice and skated his worries away. People looked at him in awe as Rory smiled. He had always loved to skate, now and as a child. And to be honest, he was pretty good at it. He twirled a little as he caught sight of something that was the same color as the ice. He reluctantly skated towards it and gasped.

"What the..." He murmured as he blinked, hoping he imagined the whole thing. When he opened his eyes, it was still there, catching the attention of fellow skaters. Rory's eyes widened as he looked at the shining object.

It was a skating couple was frozen into ice.

His phone suddenly beeped from his jacket pocket. With a shaky hand, Rory opened his phone and covered his mouth in surprise as he read his new text.

Dear Rory,

I can feel the power; I'll be immortal soon, I promise! But you wouldn't know what I'm talking about; you don't even know how to spell! That's right ditz; I know that you shouldn't judge a "pretty" face (And realize how I said it in quotations)

As for the skating couple, I thought I should remind you of the gift you'll never have. Besides; who wants to date a blond ditz? Maybe Erica is a blonde ditz as well. "Opposites attract" is not the phrase for you. More like "Stupidity Attracts" LOL right?

~Shadow

Anger built up within Rory. How could the Shadow say such cruel things to both him and his partner. But he realize there was more, so he scrolled down to the bottom to finish reading the note.

P.S- I went to the store you got your free gift at; the service is soul-worthy don't you think?

Fear building up inside of him, Rory zoomed off to the store and to his shock, he gasped.

The salesman was frozen into solid ice.

"And then, it called me a ditz. Can you believe it?! It also dissed Erica. "

Rory was re-telling the events that had occurred the previous day when Erica growled. "That bitch! She pissing you off his one thing, but me?! We need to kill this..Shadow, then bury her in lava! Makes me want to suck her alive." Rory calmed her down as Sky shook her head sadly.

"This Shadow is ridiculous. First, she threatens me and Erica to keep quiet-" Benny cut her off with a frown. "Which you didn't do." Sky gave him a glare. "What was I supposed to do?! Stay quiet about the whole thing until one of you guys get frozen to ice?!" Benny suddenly snapped.

"Sure! Why the hell not?!" Everyone gasped as they looked at Benny, who looked like he was steaming. Sky was infuriated as Benny continued. "Sky! You just put your life in jeopardy just so you could tell us what was happening! We don't know what the Shadow is capable of! What if-" But at the note, Sky cut him off with a growl.

"Are you saying that I am not capable?! I could handle the Shadow! For all I care, who gives a fuck about this DAMN SHADOW?!"

The whole coffee shop fell silent as Sky felt eyes staring. She grumbled as she slumped back in her chair. Benny lowered his voice to a sad whisper. "But..what if we lost you Sky...I...I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happens to you." Sky softened as she pat Benny's back.

"I...I'm sorry B. I didn't think of it that way. But I could promise you, I will be fine. We all need to be on the watch anyway; who knows what could happen. You are right; the Shadow could be capable for a lot of stuff. I'm sorry." He nodded silently, quietly sipping his hot chocolate. The whole gang sat in silence. "Well that was awkward...am I right?" He chuckled as Erica gave him a nasty glare, turning his chuckle into a cough.

"This Shadow has enough dirt about us to bury us alive." Erica mumbled in annoyance as she took a bite out of the muffin she was eating. Rory opened his mouth to protest before Ethan rolled his eyes. "It's a metaphor Rorster." Rory sighed. "You know I'm not good with metaphors." He grumbled as he chewed on his cookie. Sky sighed.

"How many frozen statues are there out there now?" The gang gave it some thought before Benny started.

"Well, there was the first one, a kissing couple." Ethan nodded silently. "Then Benny said he saw a frozen family, then I saw another couple on the trail." Ethan recounted. Sky nodded as Rory continued. "Then there was another couple on the ice, and then there was the salesman at the store I shopped at." Erica piped up.

"There was another sighting of a frozen girl and her dog near the river on the news this morning." Sky nodded once more before she added her own experience. "I saw a two friends on the swings the day before, so that makes this..what, more than five?" Rory rolled his eyes.

"That is a shit-load of statues. When will this Shadow be immortal?!" Benny and Sky exchanged nervous looks before Benny answered. "Guys, that isn't how it works. By far, the Shadow is already immortal." Everyone but Sky gasped.

"What do you mean?!" Erica almost yelled as Sky sighed. "Look at it this way; remember Stephanie? She turned old once we broke her pentagram, breaking her collection of souls, making her turn old. Or maybe if a vampire stopped drinking blood, with no substitute of course, they would die right? It sorta works that way with magical beings." Benny nodded in agreement.

"She's right; in order for immortality were to start for a spellmaster, you would have to suck a soul for the first time. So once you suck a soul, you automatically need more to survive, or you die, or just turn old. Like...a fledgling drinking human blood." Ethan nodded in understanding. "So all we need to do is stop Shadow from getting souls so it'll die?" Sky shrugged. "That's the way it works for every scenario." Benny looked at her nervously.

"Well...all but one scenario." Sky looked at him fearfully. "No. Benny that is crazy and it shouldn't be the case. It's just a legend anyway." Erica rose an eyebrow. "Can you just tell us?" Benny sighed.

"That has worked...except for the Oblivion Spell-Caster." Ethan gasped. "You told me that was a legend, that was fake!" Benny threw his hands up in defense. "It is! Or..so I think." Rory rolled his eyes as he nervously chewed on his cookie. "The wait is killing me! Just tell me!"

Sky explained the legend to Erica and Rory. When she finished, Benny started to continue the tale. "But I did a little research with Sky when I came over to her house. The Oblivion Spell-Caster went into another war after she possessed the girl. She kept her abilities. But one of the magical trolls stripped her of her powers, releasing all the souls she absorbed. But it didn't kill her. Instead, it cursed her into a prison...which she broke out of." Sky nodded as she sipped her hot chocolate. "Apparently, and this is recently, two amazing spellmasters sent her back to the oblivion during a fight. But she returned once more, possessing another girl." Erica's eyes widened.

"What if the Shadow..is the Oblivion Spell-Caster?" Rory gasped. "She has a point. You said that the Oblivion Spell-Caster could figure out your darkest secrets. Like the Shadow knows about us?" Benny nodded. "Well, we'll find out soon. But for now, we need to find out how to stop her..or him from freezing anyone else."

Just as Benny said that, Ethan's phone vibrating, signaling a new text message. Then beeped Sky's, followed by Rory's, Erica's and Benny's phone. They all received the same message. they all gasped.

"Guys...you got this too?" Sky stuttered in fear. They all nodded as Benny read then note aloud.

Dear people,

Ah...the Legend of The Oblivion Spell-Caster...one of my favorite tales. But am I really her? Or am I just someone who really holds a grudge...especially against you guys?

But of course, you wouldn't know. Because even if I was the Oblivion Spell-Caster, you'd have to find out who I'm possessing...I mean, I could just be some random chick!

So with that, 'tis the season to be happy...while you can.

~Shadow

P.S- It's the third day right? Fantastic.

Benny walked through the snowy streets, the wind brushing through his hair. He shivered as a gust of wind whisked past him. He wrapped his scarf tightly around his neck as he strolled into the Whitechapel Mall. He smiled as he breathed in the warm air of the mall.

He had a mission: To get the most best gifts for all his friends.

His first stop was Home & Kitchens 'R Us. He had bought a brand new cook book for his grandma, a cookie-cutter pan for the Morgans (to give them a hint on what he wanted for Christmas), and a hand woven decoration for the Bryans. As for the Foxes, the Keaners, and the Jones, he bought them beautiful candles, since he hardly saw him and he didn't know what they'd want.

He walked out of the store and walked right into Video Games Complex. He grinned a big smile as he saw the two video games he wanted to get Rory and Ethan; The Dead Army 5.5 for Ethan and Calling Black Knights 2 for Rory. And of course, he bought the new Mario Kart for himself; what fun was shopping when you only by for other people right?

With a smile, he walked to the nearest Tiffany's. He had ordered two charm bracelets for Sarah and Erica. When the saleswomen pulled out the bill, his eyes widened in shock. But not wanting to make a scene in front of the probably high-class people in Tiffany's, he sighed as he threw his credit card onto the counter. Not my smartest shopping choice..but girls will be girls and this seems a bit more appropriate. Besides, they are bound to love this!

And with the two new charm bracelets, the three video games, and the furniture stuff, Benny loaded his bags onto the nearest table in the food court. He quickly ordered some fries and sat down in the busy food court. He peeked in each of the bags and sighed when he knew one gift was missing.

Sky's.

Benny was searching near and far for a gift that would please Sky. They had gone through so much this year, and he wanted to get her something special. Something that she would never forget. Even more importantly, something that would..maybe...give her a hint.

He sighed in frustration, thinking of the options.

Sky, even though she acted like a youngster, was starting to mature. Would she want something form Homes & Kitchens 'R Us? No way. No one is that mature.

Even when Sky wasn't mature, she was a dork at heart. Would she want a video game? Maybe not; I got her Super Galaxy Fighters 6 last year, be a little more unique.

So would Sky want something shiny and girly from Tiffany's? Probably not...Sky isn't the girly type. And besides; like her, I hate expensive gifts.

Benny chewed on a french fry as his mind drifted to a past memory.

December 16th...that was the day I first met Sky...and that's today. What if I got...

His mind fell back to the concrete slab in Sky's room and he grinned, instantly knowing what he'd get Sky for Christmas. Suddenly, a beep emerged from his bag.

Dear Benny,

Doing a little holiday shopping, but got stuck on what to get your girlfriend? Ask mama; she knows best! Oops...you don't have one anymore.

But still, I am second best.

Maybe get her a flower, to remind her what she did in the gardens one fateful day. Wait, she never told you?

Wonder why.

;)

~Shadow

P.S- If you are gonna talk to your girlfriend about this, you should do it before 12:00 noon tomorrow. Because as you know; she told. And it'll be the fourth day.

Benny almost threw his phone to the ground. He had the urge to tear it to shreds and stomp on it, just for good measures. But his eyes kept reading the text over and over again.

What did the Shadow mean?

A/N- And with that, I decide to leave off! So I guess the long awaited chapter for the fourth day is next!

With that, leave a happy review and seeya! I have decided to add some surprises for the next 8 days or so...just saying. You know me ;)
