Chapter 14: Christmas Gathering

(December 24, 4:00 p.m.)

Everyone was all pumped up for their Christmas gathering later in the evening. Charlotte texted Lana, and the Ravishing Russian agreed to come since it's the night before Rusev's birthday.

Lexi texted the New Day and agreed to come as well.

Today everyone was busy cooking of what they're gonna bring for noche buena. Alex has decided to cook the classic Filipino dish, Chicken Adobo.

Lexi: I never tried this dish, babe

Alex: trust me; this is a delicious dish and it's an icon in the Philippines

Lexi: can I have a taste test?

Alex: yeah, you can taste the sauce

Lexi took a spoon and filled it with the adobo sauce. She sipped it and her eyes widen.

Lexi: babe, it's delicious!

Alex: I'm glad you liked it

Lexi: let me have some more!

Alex grabbed Lexi and held her back like Braun did at the Mixed Match Challenge.

Lexi: let me have some more!

Alex: babe, save your appetite for later

Lexi: then I want something...from you

Alex: what is that?

Lexi: this...

Lexi grabbed Alex's cheeks and kissed his lips with force and passion and Alex kissed back. They pulled back and Alex was breathing heavily while he had a satisfied look on his face.

Alex: damn, there's no mistletoe, but Merry Christmas to me

Lexi blushed and giggled.

Lexi: there will be plenty more of that later

Alex: I can't wait

(Peyton and Josh's room)

Peyton and Josh were pondering of what to bring to the party later.

Peyton: how about we bring like a box of doughnuts?

Josh: can't be a party without any sweets, and I'll order two boxes of cookies as well

Peyton: this party is gonna be sweet

Josh: not as sweet as you

Peyton: aww, you charmer come here

Peyton wrapped her arms around Josh's neck and kissed his lips with passion. Josh kissed back with his hands on her waist. They pulled back with Peyton blushing and giggling.

Peyton: I can't wait for later

Josh: me too. I'll call the bakery

(1 hour later)

Everyone was outside of the hotel all excited.

Sasha: I'm so hungry

Bayley: Sash we're all hungry

Seth: how many cookies you're gonna eat, Becky?

Becky: as much as the Man can take

Chase: so what does Xander's house look like?

Josh: you'll find out when we get there

Charlotte: I'm so excited

Finn: Becky, Seth at least try to get along; it's Christmas

Bayley: put your rivalry over a nickname aside

Seth: fine

Becky: watch out for my puns, Seth

Seth: oh no

Lexi: come on Seth, Becky's puns are funny

Alex: sure they can be a bit too much, but they're really funny

Finn: come on guys, let's go

Everyone got in to their cars and rode to Xander's house.

(1 hour later)

They all arrived at Xander's house and Chase and Charlotte were at awe.

Chase: this is where he lives?

Josh: yup

Chase: damn

Charlotte: this place fits a queen

Peyton: you haven't seen the inside yet

Chase: now I'm really excited

Josh: then let's go

They got out of the car and met with the others.

Alex: Josh what's in those boxes

Josh: sweets

Peyton: what's in the pot?

Lexi: an IIconic dish

Peyton: ooh, I can't wait to try it

Finn: let's go guys

Everyone went through the gates and Finn pressed the doorbell. Xander answered it.

Xander: welcome guys!

Alex: glad to be back

Josh: Happy Christmas, mate

Seth: this where you live, dude?

Xander: nice right?

Becky: oh Seth, you never lived or visited a mansion before?

Seth: shut up

Xander: come on in guys

They all went inside and Chase and Charlotte were frozen in shock.

Chase: this is lit

Charlotte: yup, a queen like myself can live here

Xander: Chase, if you want to entertain yourself; go look behind the double doors

Chase: okay

Chase opened the door to the game room and he was surprised.

Chase: you have a game room?

Xander: yeah, what games do you play?

Chase: Madden, NBA 2K

Xander: I got them; they're in there

Chase: oh man

Charlotte: can I watch you play?

Chase: sure. Xander can I?

Xander: go on right ahead

Chase and Charlotte went in the game room followed by Seth and Becky.

Xander: Josh, Alex looks like you two brought something

Josh: I got some doughnuts and Christmas cookies

Alex: I cooked and brought a famous Filipino dish

Xander: what's it called?

Alex: Chicken Adobo

Xander: sounds good

Alex: you can ask Lexi. I gave her a taste test and she wanted some more

Lexi: it's so good

Xander: there will be a lot of food later

Finn: what are you gonna cook, little bro?

Xander: I'm thinking of cooking Beef Wellington

Alex: I've seen that dish on Gordon Ramsay's shows

Sasha: yeah same. I always want to try that

Xander: I'll be cooking it then

Sasha: you need help?

Xander: sure Sasha, you can put together the salad

Sasha: okay!

Xander: Alex, Josh you can put your food on the counter

They set their food down on the counter

Xander: while you wait you can look around or join the others in the game room.

Lexi: okay

Alex: thanks

Josh: I love to

Peyton: thanks Xander

Lexi, Alex, Josh, Peyton, Finn and Bayley walked around the house. The guys were looking up at the ceiling while they walked.

Finn: find anything yet?

Alex: I don't see one

Josh: nothing on my side

Lexi: what are you three looking for?

Alex: a mistletoe

Josh: I don't want to kiss someone's girlfriend by mistake

Peyton: you're funny, Joshy

Bayley: Lexi, Peyton and I know this will happen so we took the liberty of buying our own mistletoe

The girls got out their own mistletoe.

Bayley: so you three boys better be ready later

Finn: I don't think we'll be prepared

They walked to the living room where they saw a tall Christmas tree with a lot of presents underneath

Alex: damn Xander's been a good boy this year

Finn: I can guess most of these are from his parents, Becky and myself

Lexi: with these much presents, yeah

Peyton: probably some are fan mail since he's well known

Josh: that's a good guess

Bayley: Xander's in the spirit

Everyone nodded.

(In the game room)

Chase and Seth were going head to head in Madden '18.

Seth: if you watched me on Xavier's channel; I was the Champ in this game

Chase: you beat AJ so badly; he smashed the controller and his little trophy

Seth: come on let's see what you got

Chase picked the Los Angeles Charger while Seth stuck to the team that made him won his showdown against AJ, the Chicago Bears.

(12 minutes later)

Chase was in the lead with the Chargers at 49 to Seth and his Bears at 42. The game was close and the clock was down to 10 seconds. Charlotte was cheering for Chase while Becky annoyed Seth.

Charlotte: come on Chase

Becky: you're gonna lose, Seth

Seth: come on I need to take a touchdown

Seth had the ball and he was running towards the endzone. Chase wasn't too far behind as he was chasing down Seth's player. With the clock at 5 seconds Chase managed to tackle Seth.

Chase: gotcha

Seth: damn it

With 3 seconds left, Seth was in possession of the ball and he tries desperately to run, but the clock reached zero which gave Chase the victory.

Chase: in your face, Seth

Charlotte hugged Chase tightly at the point where she doesn't want to let go. Meanwhile, Seth was sitting there fake crying while Becky teased him.

Becky: you can't even win in your own game

Seth: unless I didn't lose my title because of an overhyped rookie interfered

Chase: hey, come on you two. Finn said to get aln\ong

Charlotte: it's Christmas

Seth: (sighed) I'm sorry, Becky

Becky: I'm sorry too

Chase: that's more like it, let's go meet the others

The four went out of the game room and met with the others. Then there was a knock on the door.

Becky: I'll get it, little bro!

Xander: thank you

Becky opened the door and it was the Lana and Rusev.

Becky: Merry Christmas guys; glad you can make it

Rusev: this is Xander Kross's house?

Becky: you're in the right place

Lana: this is a mansion

Then Xander came.

Xander: welcome guys

Rusev: we finally meet, Xander Kross

Xander: the United States Champion Rusev and his wife Lana

Lana: it's Rusev Day!

Xander: come in and make yourselves comfortable

Not a minute later there was another knock. Xander opened it and it was the New Day all dressed in Christmas costumes.

New Day: Merry Christmas!

Big E: Christ-mas Day! Christ-mas Day!

Xander: can't have a party without the New Day

Xavier: and I want to say it's an honor to meet the Legendary Wrestler

Xander: pleasure is mine, come in guys!

Big E: I brought some New Day pancakes

Xander: set them on the counter

Kofi: this place looks like a villa

Xander: an affordable villa with a game room

Xavier: wait, you have your own game room?

Xander: yeah

Xavier: are you my long lost brother?

Xander chuckled.

(1 hour later)

Everyone was outside in the pool area eating and celebrating the Christmas spirit.

Rusev: this is a Merry Rusev Day

Finn: happy advanced birthday too, Rusev

Rusev: thanks Finn

Sasha: can I play a song?

Bayley: anything but your entrance

Peyton: play a classic Christmas song

Lexi: I'll take care of it

Lexi went to the stereo system and played the classic Jingle Bells Rock.

Peyton: now that's...

New Day, Josh and Peyton: IIconic!

After 2 hours of eating, singing and dancing; Xander called everyone to the living room.

Seth: damn dude; you've been good this year

Becky: that's my baby brother

Xander: these aren't all mine

Alex: they're not?

Xander: they're for all of you guys

Bayley: you didn't have to get us anything

Xander: well since we are in a middle of a war against Corbin. I saw you guys as siblings I never had

Sasha: don't make me cry Xander jeez!

Becky: love you too, baby bro

Finn: you big softie

30 minutes after handing out presents, the New Day, Rusev and Lana left.

Becky: thanks for coming guys

Lana: I really enjoyed

Rusev: this the happiest of Rusev and Christmas days

Xavier: see you all soon

They took their leave and Becky closed the door.

Lexi, Peyton and Bayley were talking amongst each other.

Lexi: let's give our boyfriends an unforgettable present

They all blushed and nodded.

Peyton: oh Joshy, can you come here for a second?

Josh: what is it, babe?

Peyton: look up

The Fallen Warrior looked up and saw a mistletoe hanging above them which is just a hat Peyton was wearing.

Josh: I get one more present?

Peyton: shh, don't talk

Peyton slowly leaned in and gave Josh a passionate kiss on the lips. She pulled back blushing.

Peyton: Merry Christmas, my Joshy

Josh: Merry Christmas, my love

Lexi called Alex over.

Lexi: babe, I got something for you

Alex: I'm coming

Alex walked over to Lexi.

Alex: what is it, babe?

Lexi put on her mistletoe hat and looked at her Prince with a blushing grin.

Lexi: come here

Lexi held Alex by the neck and planted her lips on his.

Lexi: Merry Blissmas, babe

Alex: Merry Blissmas, baby

Then Bayley called Finn.

Bayley: Finn, let's do some dirty dancing

Finn: I'm down for that

They positioned themselves while everyone else gave them space. Bayley ran towards Finn and he lifted her up. He put her down and Bayley planted her lips on Finn much to the surprise of the Demon King and everyone else.

Sasha: I can't this is too sweet

Xander: are you alright, Sasha?

Sasha: yeah, this is just so sweet

Xander: come here

Xander hugged Sasha gently while rubbing her back.

Charlotte: Bayley, can I borrow your hat?

Bayley: sure

Bayley gave Charlotte the mistletoe hat and walked over to Chase.

Charlotte: Chase, can you look up?

Chase: uh sure

The Warrior of Justice looked up and saw the mistletoe. Chase's eyes widen and Charlotte looked at him with a blushing smile

Charlotte: Merry Christmas, Chase

The Queen kissed Chase on the lips causing some teasing grins from the others.

Everyone was all tired and Xander allowed them to sleepover for the night as they ready themselves to continue their war against Corbin's regime.
