Piper: You know I can't promise that!!!

Mamo: *leaves*

Piper: *snaps fingers and then the Special Senshi and Max appear in the air and fall in a big pile* Welcome back to PURE TORTURE!!!

Max: How convenient.  I was heading over here anyway.  I brought gifts.

Serenity: Yay for Maxy!!!

Jersey: Too bad WE didn't bring anything...

Aera: How come we're talking for the first time in this chapter from who's on the top to who's on the bottom.

Claire: ...please get off me...

Everyone else: *gets off Claire*

Claire: Thanks...

Piper: Some of the dares today are from me, 'cuz I wanna dare ya guys.

Max: Oooo-kay?

Everyone else: ...

Piper: Our first dare of the day is from Sailor_Moon_101.  She said, "I dare Piper to decorate Mamo-Chan's room with lots of glitter, streamers, and everything that you like but he hates!  Oh and his least favorite color!!!  So when he gets back home, we'll be laughing our butts off!!!  XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD" so YAY!  I got dared!!!

Everyone else: Phew.

Piper: *leaves*

Max: ...Cookies? *holds out a tray of cookies*

Everyone else: Sure!

Piper: *comes back and takes a cookie* I finished!!!

Everyone else: That was fast... *sweatdrops*

Piper: The next dare is from me.  And it's to a certain couple!

Serenity: Yay! *almost jumps onto Max*

Piper: Nope.  Sorry, Serenity.

Aera: All right!!!

Piper: Not you either, Aera.

Jersey: Not me!

Piper: That is correct.

Serenity, Piper, Aera, and Jersey: *looks at Claire*

Claire: *grabs a pillow off a couch and throws it at Piper* NO!!!!!  NO!!!!! NO!!!!!

Max: Oh no.  I have a bad feeling about this...

Piper: I dare you two to kiss.

Max and Claire: WHY?!

Piper: So that I can see everyone else's reactions.  Also, I think you two are perfect for each other.  Hey, Reader-Chan!!!  What's your favorite Special Senshi couple?  Let me know in the comments!

Max and Claire: ...*kisses really fast and then lays down on the nearest couch and screams into a pillow*

Aera and Serenity: *thinks, "Why, Piper?!  WHY?!?!*

Max: *grabs a bag* Merry Christmas, Aera. *hands Aera a gift from the bag*

Aera: *dramatic gasp* Is this for me?  From MY Maxy-Boy?

Serenity: *eye twitch* (for the last time, he. is. mine...)

Aera: *opens gift super fast* VIRTUAL REALITY GOGGLES?! SWEET!  THANKS, MAX!!!

Max: You're welcome, and thanks for not using a weird nickname.

Aera: You're welcome.

Max: *walks over to Serenity* Merry Christmas. *hands her a present*

Serenity: Thank you, Maxy! *opens gift and gasps* A bouquet of Lotuses!  Thank you!

Max: They'll never wilt, so they make a perfect centerpiece.  Also, I knew you would want something like that...

Serenity: They're beautiful.  Thank you. *kinda exaggerating the sentences. 

Aera: *glares at Serenity* (why you little-)

Max: *smiles* You're welcome. *walks over to Jersey* Merry Christmas. *hands her a gift*

Jersey: Thanks! *opens it* Nice!  A Special Senshi video game!  I can choose my character?!  Awesome...

Max: You're welcome. *walks over to Piper* (Piper, I think Claire doesn't like either of us anymore...) *gestures to Claire, who still had her head in a pillow*

Piper: (I'm sorry I ruined your friendship.)

Max: (I don't think you COMPLETELY ruined it...)

Piper: (Good luck with Claire.)

Max: (Thanks.) *walks over to Claire* ...Claire...

Claire: *lifts her head up from the pillow slightly* ...hmm?

Max: Piper said she was sorry.  Merry Christmas. *gives her a gift*

Claire: *sits up* Thanks.

Max: *notices how red Claire's face was* Do you need some water?

Claire: *nods*

Piper: I'll get the water. *runs to the kitchen and comes back with a cup of water*

Claire: Thanks. *drinks a little, then puts it on a table nearby*

Serenity and Aera: *arguing in telepathy*

Claire *opens the small gift Max gave her*

Max: ...Do you like it?

Claire: No... I love it.  It's just what I need.

Piper: Why do you need a locket?

Claire: For this. *puts a picture of her and Elise inside, then closes it* Thanks, Max.

Max: You're welcome. *holds out his hand* Friends?

Claire: Friends. *shakes his hand*

Piper: Aww.  So cute!

Claire and Max: *looks at Piper with a "Seriously?" look*

Max: *turns to Piper* Merry Christmas.

Piper: Wait... YOU actually got something... FOR ME?  Even though I torture you guys?

Max: Yup. *gives Piper the gift*

Piper: ...

Max: What's wrong?  Aren't you gonna open it?

Piper: I will.  It's just... for the past few years I've been spending Christmas alone, since my brother would always spend it with his friends. *tries to hold back a few tears, but fails*

Max: *hands her a tissue*

Piper: Thanks. *wipes her eyes and then opens the gift* A box? *opens the box* Another box? *opens that box*

After a couple of boxes...

Piper: *opens the final box* A... friendship bracelet kit. *smiles*

Max: To remind you... that we'll always be friends.

Piper: Thanks...

Max: You're welcome.
