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

Seth: fine
Becky: watch out for my puns, Seth
Seth: oh no

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.

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

Then Xander came.
Xander: welcome guys
Rusev: we finally meet, Xander Kross
Xander: the United States Champion Rusev and his wife Lana

Xander: come in and make yourselves comfortable

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

30 minutes after handing out presents, the New Day, Rusev and Lana left.
Becky: thanks for coming guys

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.
