A/N: I'd like to apologize for the fact that this is late. Remember when I said I got sick? I Got worse. Was stuck almost all day yesterday at the doctor's office and I can barely see straight so sorry! Still tried to write this as best as I could since I already had the idea for this in mind! Hope you like it!

Asuna sat down next to Kirito, Yui bouncing in her lap with a big smile on her face as her mother hugged her close.

"S-So why did you come here Liz?" Asuna asked the pink haired leprechaun, getting a small glare from her.

"Because a certain SOMEONE decided to not respond to my messages…" Liz responded making Asuna laugh nervously. Liz sighed and laid back in her seat, Asuna relaxing as she saw her doing that since she knew that meant that she gave up for the moment.

"When are you going to go to Kyoto?" Liz asked to change the subject, making Kirito interested as well since he wanted to know if she was even going to be with them for Christmas.

"A few days after Christmas I think…" Asuna said while she tried to think of the exact date and failing, having left most of the details to her parents when they were planning the trip.

'Perfect.' Kirito thought, smiling in his seat as he started planning for her gift in his head. Yui saw his smile and tugged his sleeve, asking him with her eyes what it was he was thinking. He mouthed her that he would tell her later, making her smile and nod.

"How did you guys spent yesterday? Bored? Productive? Dying from the lack of human contact?" Liz asked them, getting them nervous as they realize they didn't come up for a fake story in case she asked.

"W-Well I was at home with Sugu and my mom." Kirito said as calm as possible,

'Technically not lying but also not the whole truth...' He thought as he managed not to give himself away. Asuna on the other hand was fidgeting in her seat, trying not look nervous.

"S-Same. I was with my parents."

"I bet since Asuna lives in a rich place that you guys had electricity, right?" Liz said, making Asuna's shoulders relax since she had heard from her parents what it was like at home yesterday.

"The lights also went off in my home so there was nothing to do there. My father couldn't even read his books since there was no light." She said, the light tone of her voice saying how she was telling the truth that even Kirito would have believed her if she hadn't been with him.

"I guess yesterday was just telling us to stop having fun." Liz said as she pouted, making the couple sigh in relief when the saw she was done interrogating them for the time.

"Well I'd better go to my shop," Liz said as she got up ," I have so many orders that I couldn't do yesterday that they are piling up just like the snow…" Liz said, walking to the door as Kirito followed to see her out. When she opened the door, Liz made a sour face at it.

"This snow is mocking me…" She said before she turned to wave a the small family before flying away to her shop. Asuna and Kirito relaxing as soon as the door was closed.

"Why were Mama and Papa so nervous?" Yui asked from Asuna's arms, her mother blushing since she didn't know what to answer with. Kirito sat back down next to them, stealing Yui from Asuna's arms.

"Why don't we just tell her? There's no harm in her knowing as long as she doesn't tell Liz." he said, him and Yui smiling at Asuna whose ears were turning red from how cute she thought they looked.

"Um… Yui-chan, yesterday I didn't go home because of the snow and so I stayed at Papa's house. We are trying to hide this from Liz so that she won't embarrass us." Asuna said, her whole face now red.

"But why would Liz-san want to embarrass you? You only stayed there because of the weather, right?" Yui said, tilting her head sideways, not knowing why Liz would do that.

"Liz likes to joke around so if she heard about this, she would make new jokes about it and we don't want that." Kirito said as pet her head.

'One can only think of the things that Liz could come up with...' The couple thought while thinking of the possible things that she could have told them had she found out.

"If Mama and Papa don't want Liz-san to find out then Yui won't tell her!" Yui said to them with a smile.

"Thank you Yui-chan! You're such a good girl!" Asuna said as she stole Yui back from Kirito, sticking her tongue out slightly at him as she smiled, making him return the gesture.

"Is there anything that you want Mama to make for you?" Asuna asked her daughter, Yui making a pensive look on her face before looking up to her mother.

"Sweet mochi (1)?" She said, receiving a nod.

"You got it!" Asuna told her as she got up for the kitchen, Kirito sticking his tongue out back at her when Yui got back in his arms, making her roll her eyes.

"Papa, how come Liz-san would make fun of you for something that you already do here?" Yui asked him.

"Well because Liz doesn't know that we stay online sometimes to sleep with Yui so she would still be looking for a way to make fun of us." He said, receiving a small nod from his daughter. He opened his inventory and brought out on of the recording crystals he had, making Yui form a questioning look on her face.

"Let's take a quick picture Yui! It's going to be for Mama." He told her, making her smile.

"For Mama's Christmas present, right?" She asked, getting a nod. They took the picture, the both of them smiling just as they had been when talking to Asuna.

"Why don't we try to go help out Mama with the mochi?" Kirito asked, receiving a huge yes form his daughter as they got up and went to the kitchen.

A/N: Really hope you forgive me for having this late! I can finally see straight so I wrote this while I still can see! Next week will be on time! I swear!

(1)- Also, mochi is a Japanese rice cake. They are very tasty.
