A/N: In which the gang has their own (non assigned) Secret Santa game;

For the most part, the Secret Santa game had gone smoothly.

That was, until the third present had been opened.

It had started just after Andre had unwrapped his gift; everyone went silent as they all saw the iPod in Andre's lap, but Trina had been the first to speak, noticing the price tag on the side of the box.

"Wait, $200? The limit was twenty!"

Everyone began talking at once; accusations began to fly, confirming Trina's words. It had suddenly gotten so loud, Tori and Trina's father had come in from the garage from hearing the noise, removing his headphones as he did.

"Hey, what's..." he didn't even finish, taking in the scene for a total of three seconds before deciding it wasn't worth whatever it was about. He backed out of the kitchen and back into the garage without another word.

"Okay, okay!" Tori finally managed to get everyone's attention, standing on the coffee table between the popcorn bowl and mugs of hot chocolate. "We can figure this out, just—"

"It was you, wasn't it?" Jade accused, scowling at her. Tori rolled her eyes.

"Jade, you literally watched me buy and wrap my present, and I watched you buy and wrap yours," Tori replied, sticking her tongue out at her girlfriend. Jade made a face.

"Well, if it wasn't you, then—"

"Alright fine, I did it," Beck said, raising his hands. "But I can explain."

"Oh, of course it was you," Jade said, sending a deeper scowl than she'd done to Tori towards her ex. Beck ignored Jade's glare, clearing his throat.

"As I was saying," he said. "That's not the price. I stayed within the limit and I can prove it." Everyone watched as he dug in his jacket pocket, pulling out a cleanly folded receipt, handing it to Tori. "I bought it at a huge sale, 90% off. The salesperson didn't even know what it was. She said it and five others had been found in storage and been put out just the day before, and I'd gotten lucky to get one," Beck explained as Tori climbed off the table and sat back on the couch.

Everyone had gathered around her to look at the receipt Beck had provided. His words seemed to be true; it was all there on the receipt. His total had been the agreed upon $20.

"I thought it might be a cool Secret Santa gift, because it's an original iPod and was practically a steal," he finished with a shrug, grinning at Andre. "Especially for who I got it for."

"Thanks, dog," Andre said.

"So, now that we got that figured out, maybe we can get back to the game now?" Trina asked, as if they hadn't all just argued over a gift's price value. There were three presents left, one of hers included.

"Yeah, let's keep going!" Cat cheered. She'd already unwrapped her gift, a squishmallow plushie from Jade, and was hugging it tightly in her lap, but like everyone had been excited to see the other remaining gifts.

Everyone settled in again, and the gang resumed their game.

The rest of the game had gone smoothly, and everyone ended up happy with their gifts.

A/N: I'm an English gay, not a Math gay, so Google had to help me with the percent math on this one. Idea based loosely off that episode of The Office where they play Yankee Swap after Michael buys the iPod and broke the $20 limit (I didn't have the spoons to write a huge and involved Secret Santa thing because the math for calculating that out can't be googled and is awful to write out), but I did just want to do a little thing to honor my favorite episode cuz the holiday is coming up soon now. Thanks for reading! c:
