Hello and Merry Christmas! I wanted to bring out this Chapter yesterday but sadly my computer was dead. So instead, it is posted today. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and keep coming back for more. I also have another fanfic and you can look at that if you wish. Once again Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

"Her name is Celia?" zoning back out of her daydream Kat saw that Panda was introducing a girl to her. "Uh? Are you dating Pan Pan?" The girl tilted her head and let out a soft laugh, "No, not yet." Playfully nudging the panda bear. Getting up from her seat, she took ahold of the girls' hand and gave it a firm shake. "I'm Kat, it's a pleasure to have you over with us." Celia nodded "Likewise"

Sitting back down she eyed the girl and panda. She always worried about him, he did feel like the baby of the family. Wandering off in her head she started to think again about memories and not knowingly moving her fork around the plate. Eyes dull and lips pressed firm together. Just sitting. Thinking. She will soon have to ask what the three bears wanted for Christmas and if they will be celebrating with either her or with the friends they have.

Talking in her head she knew that ice would probably want a new vacuum, she swore she got him the newest one last year but he was a clean freak and that would be the best bet. She smiled smelling her hot fresh coffee and taking small sips. She knew Grizz was easy to shop for. Always with the typical sports, games, and a gift card from the purritto place down the street. She dipped a cookie in her coffee and took small bites. Panda loves to draw his anime but maybe a learn how book will get him to move his skills upper and of course maybe a new phone with a brand-new charm. Finally, wiping away any crumbs from her lips she excuses herself and walked into the kitchen starting on the dishes. 'I wonder what their friends like it would be rude not to get them a little something…' trailing off she started humming, blocking out the chatter from the dining room.

A tap was felted on her shoulder and she turned looking up. "Yes Charlie?" He bent down and hugged her "I just wanted to say thank you for including me and some of my forest friends over." Kat smiled and walked over to a packed leftover me, handing it to the tall fear beast. "And I hope I get to see you Christmas Charlie, here take this so you don't have to cook for a few days" He walked off to the bears and later hearing the door shut close. It was a few years back when she officially met Charlie. He was frightened of her quite a bit. He called her ma'am two years straight and was always stiff around her. Until one day Kat spoke to him.

"Charlie, I don't bite and the bears are not here right now." He slid out from behind the couch. "umm ma'am when will they be back?" Kat shrugged her shoulders, honestly not knowing when they will be back. "who knows, they always wander off from here to there" she smiled and placed a warm hot chocolate on the table. "Come sit down with me." She patted the seat next to her.

Slowly he walked forward and took a seat. "what's this?" he said while examining the whip cream and cinnamon sprinkled on top. "That there is my famous hot chocolate made from real chocolate. Go on and take a sip" hesitantly, he brought the cup up to his lips and took a sip, closing his eyes in pure delight. "Ma'am this here is super delicious" she waved her hand. "Nah, and just call me Kat"

After that she told him whenever he was hungry or if it was too cold he could always come to the bears place no matter what.

Coming back from memory lane she went back to the dining room and started picking up the rest of the mess. Chloe saw this and started to help along while talking to her about how she wanted to invite Kat and the three bears over for Christmas Eve. Kat nodded and told the small girl yes if she brings her family along for Christmas day.

Thanksgiving was finally over and Kat can finally sleep and that's exactly what she did. That's what she thought anyway. A booming knock came from the door and she fell off the couch and opened it, starting all the way up to a heavy bearded man. "Privet." Came a low booming voice from the man. Hiding slightly behind the door she looked back up "Privet" he then walked in and called out for a name she did not know. Ice came out from his fridge and walked over to the man and gave him a hug.

Kat looked between the two and raised an eyebrow at this sight. 'When did he make friends with a Russian man' was the only thing circling in her mind right now. "Kat this Yuri, Yuri this Kat" The bearded Russian nodded his head and started to talk in his native tongue to the polar bear and Ice did the same. Kat just ignored it and took it as a sign she needs to lay off the coffee.

Later, she found out that the man used to take care of ice bear and vice versa. She still thought she needed to lay off the coffee. She went out to the store getting away from the three bears to pick out their Christmas presents. Walking down aisles upon aisles she grew tired and started to get hungry and that led her to buy junk food instead. She barely found this out once she was bike in her car and looked in her bag noticing the candy and food. Groaning, she let her head fall onto her steering wheel letting out a scream and slowly letting out deep breaths.

In the end, she just decided to put these items into their stockings. Kat, arriving back home notice the polar bear pushing a giant tree into the tiny home. "Ice?" he turned to her and smiled softly. "Found Christmas tree." She just shook her head and waited for the tree to be pushed in all the way. Soon as that tree was pushed in she took off and into her room, beginning to stuff the stockings.

Each red stocking was filled to the top. Each had some candy and some fruit along with small toys and trinkets that were perfect and of course each one got a small special gift that suit whoever stocking is which. The blue stocking held some new knives for ice bear, the red one held a gift card to some fast food places (she decided it would be a better stocking stuffer than actual present) for the grizzly. That last stocking was green and filled with some new brushes and Copic markers for her panda. She proceeded to walk out of her room and into the living area and pinned the stockings up. Not even a second later the bears started to poke and look through them. Kat softly smacked their paws away "Not yet." The three bears groaned.

Grizz: What?! But Christmas is soooo far away

Kat: it's only a few more days

Panda: exactly that's why it's so far away

Kat: you know the rules either you open one present Christmas eve or you get your stocking

Grizz: ugh fine

Those "few more days" felt almost too long. Not for the bears, but for Kat herself. She didn't know what to do because the three bears were all invited to three parties. She just hoped she can figure out how they can attend all three…
