So, Kawaii~Chan likes Reese. Obvious there as she flipped when she saw that purple haired girl kiss him. I don't even think she saw what was going on, Katelyn had to keep shouting her name so she might have just zoned out. I was just, waiting in the kitchen for, something. The snow was falling outside the window and there were a few little snowmen out there, like the ones I use to make with... I shook my head and turn back to see a plate of terrible looking Christmas Cookies. I sighed it off and kept onto my thoughts, which, now weren't about what just happened, but past events that had happened around this time of year. Though I left home, because of lies and for my safety, I did leave behind the truth, and there was no lie there. I missed that truth, especially around Christmas. I sighed and walked back out into the foyer, seeing Garroth on the floor all upset. Stepping over him I turned to Aphmau for a moment, trying to act as if nothing was on my mind.

"Aph, I'm gonna just, head outside, get some fresh air," I tell her and before she could respond I was out the doorway with no door. Feeling the cool air hit my face all at once, the snow falling into my hair... Even just, the look of all the houses, Christmas lights and all. It all reminded me of my life back "home" around the holidays. Heh. I sat down on the steps leading up to her house and imagined I was my best friend's Mom. Simply I could see my two best friends and myself building snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other. We had to be 7 about this time and to everything I can remember, I was terrible at figuring out truth from lies at that age. This man, tall with black eyes and white combed back hair. He walked over and grabbed me from my friends. Saying it was time to go home. I had lived with him since I was 5, after the incidents that had involved my Mother, so I just believed he was my Father. Looking back on it now, I had remembered my real Father with every detail, and he wasn't it. But as a child. You'll want to believe anything and everything with your family, just so you have one.

"Remember what tonight is?" I thought I heard him say. To me, right now. Not in the past. "Tonight Daddy's having friends over. You stay in your room, blinds down, lock the door." I shut my eyes and listened to the world around me, trying to pull his words from my head. If I didn't find a way to calm down now, then my secret wouldn't be a secret anymore. I needed to forget about that. Forget about Charlie. Forget about Antonio. Forget about, Michael. I stood up and just, stood out there for another moment, quickly walking back inside when I had thought I saw something I didn't want to see.

Again, I walked through the doorless doorway and this time, was all smiley. I had cleared my head and just kept on with the night as if it was normal. I joined Garroth and Laurance in a conversation until Garroth walked off. Then Laurance and I talked until he spotted Aphmau head into the garage. He went to go check on her, and I followed right behind.

"Hey Aphmau, what are you doing?" Laurance asked, "I thought you were going to come to the party?"

"I told you I was upset about the door," She answered, "I have to fix t obviously since KAWAII~CHAN and KATELYN haven't come to help."

"Oh, let us help then," I offer and head down the steps with Laurance.

"HAMMER TIME!" Laurance shouts while quickly holding it up in the air. Both Aphmau and I laughed. "You two ladies head back to the party, I can fix the door." I shook my head and took the hammer from Laurance.

"Why don't you two ladies, if I can a G48 Frame, I think I can fix a door," I said and took the door from Aphmau and headed over to the doorway. I placed the door cover into the frame and held it there with one hand while nailing it into place with the hammer in my other hand.

"Need any assistance?" I hear a voice say.

"I'm good," I respond without turning around. Apparently whoever it was doesn't know how to listen because I feel them reaching over me and taking hold of the door. "I said I'm good." I quickly stand up to see Marsh only inches from my face. Again, his face isn't blue. It's purple. Mine is only slightly pink as I turn back to the door. "You're too nice for your own good."

"What's wrong with being nice?" He says questionable.

"Nothing, but like Kawaii~Chan over there, you, are too nice. I can fix this door on my own. Trust me," I say, a little ruder than I met too.

"I just assumed you'd need some assistance," He says.

"Well I don't," I say and sigh quietly, "But thanks for asking."

"My pleasure M'La-" He begins before I quickly turn around and cup my hand over his mouth.

"No more M'Lady and those formalities," I tell him, "It's weird." He nods and I go back to fixing the door. With him standing over me the whole time. It was, uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. He did help with the material though, which, honestly he was terrible at. Every attempt he tried only made his hands turn red. It made me laugh hard each time. "Well, thank you. I'll see you around Marsh." I start walking away, not listening to a word he says after that and joining the party again. I sat down at the couch with this girl with orange hair and Kawaii~Chan, suddenly hearing Garroth screaming for Aphmau after Laurance had just finished talking to her.

"Get ready Ladies, this is gonna be good," The orange haired girl said with a smirk as she turned back to them. I followed in her actions but thought about how they were screaming earlier. In the back of my head, I heard them shouting. Kawaii~Chan preferred Aaron with Aphmau, and I think I did too. Especially with how he talked about her from High School. I turn back at the sound of the doorbell as Cadenza does too.

"And here I thought it'd turn into another trainwreck," I say with a slight laugh.

"Same here," The orange hair girl agreed, "I'm Cadenza. Laurance's sister."

"Oh, I'm Kya. Laurance's neighbor," I tell her with a smile, "I wasn't aware Laurance even had a little sister."

"I'm his older sister," She corrects me, "But I we're both adopted so that might mean something else." I nodded along as she told me various stories about him and her. Like when she dyed his hair orange! That sounds hilarious!

"WE were just about to go to the dining room," Laurance said loudly.

"Ooh, trainwreck time~" I called and turned back around to them.

"SHUT UP KYA!" Laurance shouted. I only looked at him with a giggling expression, Cadenza following with me. "Right this way M'Lady." He said and motioned Aphmau to go first, Garroth, on the other hand, took this as his chance and charged forward, taking the Mistletoe and running off with it shouting. "GARROTH!" Laurance started and chased after him.

"Hey, that was my Grandma's!" Aphmau yelled at them.

"Your Grandmama's?" Garroth questioned, "NO! I won't let you have your way, Laurance."

"Put that back I almost had her fair and square!" Laurance yells and begins to chase Garroth again.

"NO WAY! NOT A CHANCE I'M NOT DOING IT!" Garroth shouts while Cadenza and I just laugh.

"You were right Kya, this is a trainwreck," She says.

"With two boys, best friends, and roommates who like the same girl, it's always gonna be a trainwreck!" I laugh.

"GARROTH GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" Laurance yells.

"NO!" Garroth states, "NEVER!"

"SPRINKLES WOULD BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!" Laurance used it against him. I have no idea who Sprinkles is... I missed a lot.

"STOP BRINGING HER INTO THIS!" Garroth shouts.

"IF YOU DON'T COME HERE RIGHT NOW I'LL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE TEDDY BEAR YOU SLEEP WITH!"

"NO RUFFLES!" I burst into laughter with Kawaii~Chan and Cadenza about Garroth's teddy bear, but honestly, I have a plush too. I just don't sleep with it.

"SO HELP ME I WILL!"

"DO IT AND I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT YOUR BROWSER HISTORY!"

"Ooh~" I cooed, "Someone's got romance fanfics on the rise~"

"You wouldn't," Laurance said with this stare like death.

"Hey, Aphmau!" Garroth said with a slight laugh.

"Don't you dare tell her about the Laurmau FanFics I read!" Laurance shouts before doing a final round chase after Garroth. They quickly run into Aaron who, I didn't even see was there. He knocks them down with one blow and steps over them to grab the mistletoe. Aphmau's standing under where it was as he hangs it back up. Kawaii~Chan's eyes seemed to light up all cheerfully as she saw them under the mistletoe.

"Thank you, Aaron, I really appreciate it," Aphmau says.

"Not a problem," Aaron says smoothly. They stand there for a moment and Aphmau lets out a slight giggle. Ohhh, here it comes. They're gonna kiss! I can feel Kawaii~Chan ready to explode beside me before Aphmau speaks again.

"Enjoy the party!" She says and Aaron walks off. I laugh as Kawaii~Chan just begins to look a bit upset. She couldn't more blind to opportunity than that! Those blank events in my mind didn't stop her though. She quickly headed around to Garroth and Laurance and began chewing them out for what they did.

"Kya~Sama needs to stop laughing at Kawaii~Chan's OTP!" Kawaii~Chan shouted.

"I-I'm not," I breath through my laughs, "I'm laughing at the blindness here and Garroth and Laurance's ridiculous display of events. Honestly Kawaii~Chan I respect other people's ships even if I don't agree with them."

"Aarmau though!" She shouts.

"I know, I know," I say.

"I don't know, Laurance had it. But, what about you?" Cadenza added.

"Me?" I asked, "What about me?"

"You don't think I haven't seen you talking to that blue boy over there," She motioned to Marsh, "You two are so cute the way you talk to each other. But you keep shutting him down."

"Look, I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment, I'm just, not into that sorta stuff," I tell her, "He's too formal anyway. I need someone who can keep up with crazy, not try to extinguish it."

"Kawaii~Chan thinks that Kya~Sama would be cute with Garroth~Kun!" Kawaii~Chan shouts. I sit there blankly as Diego comes over and tugs on my sleeve, things have been so hectic, I forgot he was here. So, I get up, and I leave. Not one word to anyone. I leave. Garroth was standing just in the foyer staring at Kawaii~Chan then at me as I left. Just no. No. Diego tried to bark me to a halt but I kept going. I just, I'm fine with the ship stuff, until it's with me. Then I leave. I say nothing and leave. The air was cold, and, my mind was all over the place now. But what I couldn't shake was, Michael. Of all memories, I remembered him now... I guess it's cause for once I'm alone. I've never really been this alone...

I see Zane walking away, and send Diego to go with him. I can see him tugging Zane over to my house as I head into the garage and dig around in the back. I hear Diego bark as my mind begins to shake a bit. I didn't bring my gift for him, because, I didn't have it wrapped yet. But, I had no issue giving him it now as I knew I might not seem him between now and Christmas.

"What did you want?" He scoffed, "To gloat about Aphmau's Party?"

"No, her party wasn't... it honestly wasn't that great to me. There were a lot of trainwrecks though," I say and pull myself out of this large box, "You weren't there, and, I wanted to give you this..." I turn around and give him a smaller box that isn't wrapped up. It's just tapped down.

"What's this?" He asked taking it from me.

"It's a gift for you. Christmas gift. Don't open it till Christmas though," I say.

"Then why give it to me now?" He asks.

"Why not?" I saw and head up the side steps into my house, Diego close behind me, "Just, close the door when you leave..." I say and finish my way inside. Heh, hopefully, he'd like it. Even if he didn't wait.
