A/N- Wassup?! It's TOBN here with a brand new chapter to you on this day I have waited forever!
MERRY CHRISTMAS [EVE]!
I wish your families a Merry Christmas Eve, and may God bless you ;)
Oh yeah, and make sure you get some eggnog for me, because I have no friggin' idea what that is. Is that something you put in wine or something? I just don't know. But if you get leftovers from Christmas feasts, send them via the internet! LOL just kidding...ish. ;D
So on this Christmas Eve, I bring a new song lyric!
"On the Eleventh day of Christmas, a person gave to me:
Eleven Magic Spells
Ten Love Potions
Nine Valentines From Ethan
Eight Insults From Erica
Seven Reruns of the Movie
Six Lucifractors
Five Fries From A Pan!
Four Wooden Stakes
Three Bad-Ass Vampires
An Ethan and A Benny
And The Third Season Of MBAV!"
Okay, this has to be understandable. Everyone [I think] wants magical powers. Do you know how easy it would be to attract attention from the supernatural gang? Exactly.
Shoutouts to the very awesome...
MBAV Fan - Yeah the watches had a hidden purpose! But Shadow lost so..whatever! In this chapter, I would say the surprise will please Benny/Sky fans (Help me with nickname :D), Rorica fans will be squealing, and Ethara fans will cry and coo at the same time. Review soon Fanfic Buddy !
I had two options to go to towards ending the story, but I'm pretty stuck solid to where I'm going so that it is compatible with Welcome Back Dusker. Hint hint! Wink Wink! ;)
There is one is the last chapter before the epilogue, and a super secret surprise I planned for Boxing Day. So watch out for that and drop a review if you love Christmas!
Disclaimer: I don't own MBAV or its characters, just this crazy plot we call FanFiction and my OC Sky. I also don't own any Christmas songs played in this chapter (Aside from my 12 Days Of Christmas thing. I made that. :D)
ENJOY!
Holiday Friends: Chapter 11: One More Surprise
Benny and Sky appeared in a puff of smoke at Ethan's house, making everyone there yelp in surprise. Sky scanned the room.
There was all her friends: Ethan, Rory and Sarah, but they were missing Erica. Ethan's mom, Sky's mom and Evelyn were preparing some sort of cake as Ethan's dad and Sky's dad were preparing the lights in the living room, that varied in different bright colors. Sky rose her eyebrow in confusion as her and Benny walked towards Ethan, who was preparing all the gifts under the tree. Sky smiled in thought.
She had got Benny's present a long time ago, and soon, they would reveal what they got for one another soon. Sky was absolutely excited for the gift exchange, and she hoped her gift was a good as Benny's; he always got the best gifts. Ethan's voice cut Sky's thoughts off.
"Hey Sky! You mind checking the window if Erica's car is there?" Sky hesitantly nodded as she walked towards the frosty window, her reflection slowly appearing faintly on the foggy glass. She saw no car in the driveway. She turned around to face Ethan
"Nope, no car. Why, what is going on?" Rory bounced up towards her and smiled.
"It's for Erica. I knew she didn't celebrate Christmas because of her grandma, so I decided to throw a party! Cool right?" Sky nodded enthusiastically. "Oh my gosh Rory! That is so sweet of you! Erica would be so happy, I promise!" Sky hugged Rory tight as he smiled.
"Thanks Sky. Now, all we need is to place these lights..."
Suddenly, Benny's voice spoke up for the first time since the trip, cutting off Rory's instructions.
"Um guys? I don't mean to interrupt construction, but I would like to inform you that a blue BMW is in the driveway. And that BMW just happens to be Erica's dad's car. And why would Erica's dad be here? I don't think that's her dad. It's her."
Everyone in the room gasped as Erica, as if on cue, walked out of the car, her blonde hair flowing through the wind as she flattened the knee dress she wore above her black leggings. Her heels could be heard clicking as she strutted to the door. She fiddled with a key as she was steps toward the door. Rory started to hide.
"Ethan! Shut the lights! Everyone HIDE!" He whisper-yelled as everyone scattered the room. Evelyn quickly placed down the cake at the center table as Sky and Benny dove under the couch together. Benny smiled as the lights shut off.
"Hey." He whispered. Sky rolled her eyes as she playfully punched him. "Hey, shush!'' Benny chuckled silently as they all heard the door unlock and a frosty blast of cool air entered the room. Benny did a funny arm-motion, making Sky muffle her laughs in her sleeve. She signaled a finger to her mouth and Benny laughed silently once more.
"Hello?" Erica's voice echoed the living room as Benny held his breath, making Sky laugh silently even harder. "I got the groceries Ethan? Now where's my money?" She chuckled nervously. "Um...just kidding..ish...okay this is not funny! Someone turn on the lights and-"
Ethan, on cue, did what he was told as he turned on the Christmas lights. A cavalcade of lights filled the room in Erica's eyes as everyone popped out of their hiding places.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
Rory held a wrapped hockey stick as Erica's small smile grew into a huge one.
"Oh...my...goodness...this is all for me?" Rory stepped up towards her and smiled as he held on tightly to his hockey stick.
"Yes darling. All of your friends threw this so you can celebrate Christmas once more. I...I love you Erica."
And with that, he pulled a small box from his pocket and smiled.
"We are going to do gift exchanges in a minute, and I decided to give yours early. So here you go Erica." He handed the small wrapped box to Erica and she smiled as she slowly unwrapped it, revealing a small black velvet box. She opened it with shaking hands as she gasped.
Inside was a diamond bracelet, the words "Beautiful Just The Way You Are" engraved in small diamonds. Happy tears dripped down as Erica hugged Rory tight.
"Oh my gosh Rory...this is exquisite! Thank you so much!" Rory smiled. "Actually, there is one more gift I have for you."
Rory thumped the hockey stick on the ground and the force sent a small ribbon to drop from the stick. Erica gasped once more.
It was a single piece of mistletoe, that hung above them. Rory smiled.
"Merry Christmas Erica."
And with that, they swept towards a kiss. Everyone cheered and cooed as they separated, two goofy smiles etched onto their faces as Rory smiled.
"NOW LET'S EXCHANGE GIFTS!"
Everyone cheered as they sat around the tree. Benny and Sky's heart thumped as they started.
For the grownups, they all got fabulous gifts that varied in candles, Tupperware, and other stuff they loved.
Erica gave Rory a brand new video game console, Sarah a cool key-chain, Sky a wonderful dress, Ethan a video game and Benny a video game. They all thanked her as it was Sarah's turn.
Sarah gave Rory, Benny, and Ethan new video games, which they loved, and gave Erica and Sky hand-woven bracelets, that they loved too. It was now Rory's turn.
Rory, having already gave Erica's gift, started with Sarah. He gave her a beautiful pair of earrings, and Sky a nice watch. He gave Ethan and Benny two cool wire-storage's that said "We Play Video Games; Deal With It." They all laughed as Ethan, Rory and Benny gave into a bro hug.
Now it was Ethan's turn. Ethan gave Rory and Benny a new video controller, because he knew they broke theirs in a intense game of SkyWalkersBattle 12. He gave Erica a Dusk mug in case she broke hers. He gave Sky a new video game, and she said that it was finally something she could use, getting a laugh from everyone.
Now it was Benny and Sky who had the floor. They decided to exchange their gifts for one another at the end as they started with their friend's gifts. Their hearts raced as Benny begun.
He gave Sarah and Erica the two Tiffany's necklaces, which they adored. He gave Ethan and Rory the new video games as well, and they appreciated the gift as well.
Sky's turn was next. She gave Rory a homemade shirt saying "RV: Defender Of The Innocent", which made Rory light up in excitement. Ethan got a new video game console that was compatible with the game he got. Erica and Sarah got friendship bracelets, that made each other smile.
Now it was finally Benny and Sky's gifts. Everyone leaned towards the two to get a closer look of what they got one another.
"Hey..." Benny nervously said, hating how is voice cracked. He had bought his gift two days ago because of the delivery and he hoped Sky would like it. Sky nodded nervously. "Hey...together now?" He nodded in agreement as they quickly exchanged wrapped presents.
Their hearts raced. "Y-You first." Sky said, feeling nervous as ever, that made everyone snicker, murmurs of "They should hook up" or "Are they together yet?" thrown across the room, making Benny and Sky blush.
Benny slowly unwrapped the gift and smiled.
It was some type of watch. He put it on and it vibrated. He looked at Sky in confusion as she smiled. A familiar voice rang out.
"Hey Benny! It is 11:55 pm on December 24th. Merry Christmas Eve! Would you like to practice spells? Play music?"
Benny started to laugh. "Oh my gosh...you got me a watch that is programmed to sound like you and help me with magic. Sky...you are a genius!" Everyone laughed as he hugged her tight. Sky giggled. "You are welcome!" Benny lowered his eyes as he smiled a small smiled.
"My gift automatically sucks now." Sky shook her head. "I'm sure it can't be that bad..." She gasped as she opened it slowly. A long black velvet box greeted her as she slowly opened it and covered her mouth in shock.
Inside was a beautiful heart-shaped locket, reading the words "Benny + Sky = Friends 4 Ever" She opened the locket and saw a small sketch of two people, her and Benny, laughing on a bench as they were surrounded by flowers and snow. Small writing could be made out on the bottom.
"Merry Christmas: 2014"
Sky wiped away happy tears as Benny grabbed the necklace and went behind Sky to put it on. Sky held her long, blonde curls up and Benny hooked the necklace on. Everyone awed as they hugged once more.
"Thank you Benny. I will never forget it." Benny nodded, blinking back happy tears of his own. "You too Sky." Ethan stood up and raised a glass in the air.
"Enough of this emotional stuff. LET US PARTY!" Suddenly, a familiar chime from the Town Clock rang throughout the city. It rang 12 bells. Everyone cheered as they raised a glass in the air.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" They exchanged hugs and kisses as Ethan and Sarah stepped out of the party and into the cool air outside.
Ethan brought Sarah out to his snowy backyard. Sarah sadly smiled as they sat on the swing in his yard.
"I'm sorry Ethan...I...I have to leave after the party." Ethan's smile fell. "What? But...why?" Sarah covered up quickly. "It's...my grandma. She's sick in Mexico and I need to visit her. She slowly is dying Ethan...I'm so sorry." Ethan quickly nodded his head in understanding.
"Oh..I am so sorry. I guess that's where you've been huh?" She nodded. "Yeah. I also got your gift there. I...I didn't know where to go...I didn't know she was dying."
Silence passed as Ethan pulled out his phone and scrolled down his playlist.
"I remember, the night before the dance, I promised a dance. And what better way to fulfill that promise is right here, right now!"
And with that, a Kelly Clarkson song played as Ethan dragged Sarah onto the snowy tiles of his backyard, a smile on their faces.
Every Christmas
It's always the same
I'm still here waiting
Praying for you to finally come my way
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face
If Santa cared for me at all then you wouldn't be
So, so far away
Santa isn't listening, no
And I'm losing hope
Oh God if it isn't too much
Please bring my baby home
Ethan twirled Sarah across the floor, dimming lights that could be seen through the windows shone on them as they gracefully danced.
Every Christmas
Counting the days
Maybe this year will be different
And I won't be, be alone again
Under the mistletoe
Let it snow
Come on home
Every Christmas I'll wait
Oh every Christmas
I turn on all the lights
And I make a fire so maybe the smoke can clear
That you're home tonight
But I just don't know (I don't know)
We'll know deep inside (deep inside)
I know that you should be here, but I feel
We're slowly running out of time
Every Christmas (Christmas)
Counting the days (counting the days)
Maybe this year will be different
And I won't be, be alone again
Under the mistletoe
Let it snow
Come on home
Every Christmas I'll wait
"I love you Ethan Morgan" Sarah whispered as Ethan swept her down to the floor and smiled. "I love you too Sarah Fox"
A beep emitted from Sarah's phone, and Sarah frowned as tears brimmed in her eyes. "Sarah...I..I have a feeling I know what is happening and I'm sorry." Sarah sniffed.
"I'm sorry Ethan. That's the hospital and the doctors said she wanted to request some last words. She is the only one in my family that knew about me being a vampire...and she helped me through it. I hope you understand." Ethan nodded as his eyes lowered. "No problem. At least I got my last dance."
Sarah smiled as she stepped away and turned around. She faced Ethan for a last time.
"I'll come home soon. I promise."
And with that, she flew off. The song started to dimly end as Ethan sighed.
Under the mistletoe
Let it snow
Come on home
Every Christmas I'll wait
Every Christmas, Every Christmas...
I'll wait
Ethan looked up towards the night sky as a speeding streak flew across the moon. He smiled.
"I'll miss you Sarah"
And with that, he picked up his phone and walked out of the backyard and into the party.
*THE FOLLOWING MIGHT BE RATED M...BUT I WON'T REVEAL TOO MUCH FOR THE CHILDREN AND FOR THE SAKE OF CHRISTMAS*
Rory sat on the bed of the Guest Room, scared and excited for what was to happen as he waited for Erica to get out of the washroom.
He was awaiting for this for a while, and he was ready to do what he wanted to for years prior to dating Erica.
Suddenly, the door opened. Erica's hair flew as she strutted towards the fireplace, lighting it up as Rory turned on a familiar song played on the radio and it gave it shivers.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want for you for my own
More than you can ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
"She's right y'know..."
Rory snapped to his attention as he smiled genuinely. "Who? Mariah Carey?" Erica nodded as she fiddled with her nightgown.
"Yeah." She flopped onto the bed as Rory smiled nervously. "I don't think that was the point of the song..." Erica laughed. The song played on.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
"Erica..are you share you want to do this?" Erica nodded eagerly.
"I loved your present Rory. But really, we have been dating for quite a while now. And I am begging you to please, please, PLEASE. Do this to me." Rory nodded as he unclipped the buttons off his polo.
"I want this to Erica. But it is my first time...I am scared...yet excited at the same time." Erica grinned a mischievous smile.
"It better be your first time boy...or I'm going to leave." Rory laughed as Erica slipped out of her night gown, revealing a red bra and green underwear.
"You are certainly into the Christmas spirit." Erica smiled. "I am because of you, which is exactly why I want this."
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Erica smiled as Rory took off his shirt, revealing a manly chest. She whistled.
"Wow Rory...did you go to the gym or what?" Rory laughed. "Maybe. I might have been anticipating this day for while..." Erica giggled as she unbuttoned his jeans.
"I love you Rory Keaner." She purred. Rory grinned as he tackled her onto the bed.
"Me too Erica Jones." Erica smiled as Rory did too.
"And I'm gonna prove it tonight baby."
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
And with that, Erica got up to shut the door and all that could be heard was sexy moans and giggles.
(Sorry to all those who anticipated a sex scene...but I couldn't do that. Sorry...I am saving that for a different pairing. ;D)
Benny and Sky sat down by the fireplace. The grownups were all in the backyard as they smiled.
"You know what Sky? This might have been the best Christmas ever..." Benny laughed. "Agreed."
A song started to play in the background. Sky smiled. "How did you know this is my favourite Christmas song?" Benny laughed. "I dunno...maybe because you sing it in the car ALL THE TIME?"
They laughed as Kelly Clarkson's sweet voice chimed throughout the house.
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
"Do you want a Christmas dance my friend" Benny asked nervously, trying to keep things friendly between the two. Sky smiled.
"Yes I do Benny."
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
Benny swept Sky off the couch, making Sky giggle in both embarrassment and excitement.
He twirled her around the room, the fireplace's warmth beating against their skin softly as the song continued.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
Benny picked up Sky and spun her around, making Sky yelp in surprise as her blonde curls whirled around Benny.
"Benny! You animal!" But Benny just laughed.
"Indeed I am!"
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list
Benny and Sky's faces almost touched as Benny smiled.
"You will, and forever always, be my best friend. Got it?" Sky laughed.
"Forever and Always."
A/N- That may or may not have been the most longest chapter in this story! The finale is tomorrow and I am sad to end this. But hey! Look on the bright side: The starting to Just Friends is to be revealed soon, so why not be excited?
Thanks to all who reviewed (Counting that you did because I am writing this way before Christmas Eve.) and see you...
