AN: This will be my last for the year. Again I repeat last chapter for the year. I will be on vacation for a week or so and will be back on the first week of January. Soooo, enjoy the holidays everyone!

guest: yiiiiis! I'll put up another story on why Jonah is Morning Star and how the hell that happened!

RAE: YEEES! THAt'S THE SONGGGG! I REALLY LOVE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY I SWEAR. (I actually I love marvel as a whole lol)

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders

One day, we will be remembered

- Long live, Taylor Swift

Violet decorated the not-so-tall tree they had in the apartment. The old couple who owned the place miraculously let them stay. Mr. Trevor convinced his wife that it'll be okay. Buddy was in his room, fixing some things that were broken when Omega attacked the place. Buddy's recovering from the torture and Violet's already having her powers back to normal. Everything was finally where they should be and it is now peaceful. Violet sighed as she tried to put up the christmas ornaments that were lying on the floor. Her ginger haired boyfriend finally came out of his room and noticed how tired she is.

"Babe." Buddy called as he wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Hey!" Violet protested. It's not like she doesn't like the sweetness, it's just that... it felt awkward having someone to be sweet with, again. Buddy chuckled and buried his face in his girlfriend's neck.
"What'd you get me for Christmas?" he asked.
"Well, you have to wait for it, mister." she replied coyly. The Parr girl continued to decorate the tree as Buddy moved over to look at the big carton of ornaments. Sheez, Violet wasn't the one for party's but she sure is the girl for holidays. Buddy is a party person but the parties he used to go to were like charity parties and evening parties, with suits and gowns and sexy girls. He's really not into the family & friend thing but he will do this for Violet and also to thank Antonette for helping Vi find him.

"Antonette will be here anytime now." Violet cut off Buddy's thought.

"Hmmm." Buddy nodded and slouched on the sofa, staring mindlessly at her. "I can cook dinner if you want. So you can finish the damn tree before the blondie gets here. It's no trouble, babe. I'll just drop by the grocery for some stuffs then I'll cook." Buddy suggested as he tilted his head to keep contact with her.
Violet simply pouted her lips and nodded. "Not a bad idea."
Buddy stood up and walked back to his room to get his wallet and jacket. He grabbed Violet and gently kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be back."

"Of course you will, because if you don't... I'd come looking for you." she teased.

A snow-covered Antonette opened the door. She was groaning and complaining that the snow storm outside is making her sick. Buddy rolled his eyes, looking back to the tomatoes he was chopping. Just few minutes after Antonette arrived, Alfred and Cara came in.
Violet was somehow surprised that the two actually came in the apartment at the same time.
She smiled at the 'couple' but Cara only replied with a sharp glare.
Antonette was putting the gifts on the tree as Buddy baked the cake and cooked the meal.
"Hmm. That smells delicious." Antonette said as she tried to dipped her finger on the meal but Buddy tapped it away.
"Get your filth off my meal." he snapped.
"Hey, firehead. Respect me." Antonette glared.
"Wait for it, blondie."
"Sheez."
Violet simply chuckled at both of them. She heard her phone beep and quickly walked away to answer it. It was her mother.
"Hello, Vi."
"Hi, mom!"
"Merry Christmas, honey!"
"Merry Christmas, mom... How's everyone there?"
"Well, we managed to have some peaceful Christmas. Jack-Jack didn't set fire on anything. Dash's friends were here together with their parents. It's actually nice... except that you're not here." there was a hint of sadness in her mother's voice.
"Mom... you know I have to-"
"Yeah... How's Antonette, by the way?"
"She's actually having fun." Violet smiled and turned to see Buddy and Antonette arguing about the cake.
"Okay, I gotta go. I'll call you back later, honey. Love ya."
"Love ya too, Mom."
Violet closed her phone and turned back to the kitchen.
"It's dinner!"
"Oh, good!" Antonette whined. "Because I've been dying already."
"Shut up." Buddy groaned and placed the meal at the center of the table. All five of them sat and enjoyed the night.

"Time for gifts!" Alfred smiled as they held out the colorful boxes to each other. Before Buddy could give Violet her gift, Antonette barged in, placing her gift to her bestfriend's hand. Violet smiled as Buddy rolled his eyes.
"Open it up!" Antonette squealed. Violet opened the box to see a big beautiful notebook.
"Ann, it's really pretty!" she said, hugging her bestfriend.
"Okay, your turn's over. Mine now." Buddy said, pushing her away. Antonette scowled but stayed beside her Violet.
"Hey, I said my turn now. Go talk to Cara or something." Buddy argued.
Antonette glared at Buddy and walked away.
"I wanted this to be special." he said as soon as Ann's out of the picture. Violet smiled and looked at the crimson little box that Buddy held.
"Open it up, baby."
Violet did what she was told and as soon as her eyes laid upon the gift, she let out a soft gasp.
"Buddy... This is-"
"That's one of the stuffs I bought back when I was still a big time CEO blah blah." Buddy mumbled. "Some of the things I kept... I wanted you to keep it."
"It must be expensive." Violet said, tracing the large stone pendant.
"Nah... You weight more than anything, babe." he grinned before grabbing Violet near to him.
"Um.. Buddy."
"Oh... would you look at that." he chuckled, looking up. Violet looked up to see what he was looking at, and she blushed.
"Buddy.. I th-"
She was silenced by the kiss and she could hear Antonette squealing in the background.

On the other side of the room, Cara was holding a cup of hot chocolate on her hand as she stared at the snow outside.
"Cara..." Alfred called, as he walked over to her.
But even before Alfred could talk, Cara pushed a middle size box to his chest without even looking at him.
Alfred took the gift and walked beside her.
"Here." he said, handing her a small box.
Cara murmured thanks and kept her eyes on the outside view.
"Cara..."
"Hmm?"
"I..."
"What?"
"I'm sorry about what I did... years ago."
Cara scoffed and waved her hands. "It's past..."
"And I wanted to say that..." Alfred stammered and looked away from her. "I..."
Cara now turned to him, curious as to what he will say.
"I love you, Cara Paladino." Alfred said and walked away, leaving the confused Cara to her own.

Violet and Buddy were talking on the side of the tree, while Alfred was nowhere to be found... probably on the bathroom.
Am I the only single person on this room? Antonette thought. Of course, she knew about Cara and Alfred... it was undeniable.
"Hey, bff." Violet greeted her.
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
"Yeah sure... Happy New Year."
"Buddy!"
"Okay. Merry Christmas!"
