The next morning SMG3 woke up much earlier than normal, as he was excited, because that day was Christmas Eve. He was very excited, as well as a little nervous, since that day he was going to finally tell 4 his feelings, plus he was going to give them their gifts. He woke up Eggdog and they took out the gifts that the red-eye was going to give to SMG4. Then he grabbed some gingerbread cookies for himself and Eggdog and they started eating breakfast. After that, he was washing the dishes they used, when he received a call.

-Hello? - asked 3.

- Hello, SMG3? - said SMG4.

- Hello 4 - he responded - What's wrong? -.

- Are you busy? - he asked - It's just that everyone except Mario and Meggy is busy and I can't cook Christmas dinner with them, so I wanted to know if you could help me, because if I do it alone, I won't finish it... -.

- Well, not really, I was finishing breakfast with Eggdog and then I was thinking of going to buy him a Christmas gift, Eggdog - the red-eyed man explained - But I can go to the Castle when all that is over -.

- What do you think if you arrive at 5:00pm? - answered 4 - That way you don't put pressure on yourself or anything -.

He turned to look at the clock on the wall, it was 11:47am.

- Yes that's fine -.

- Okay, see you then! - the blue-eyed boy responded happily - Goodbye 3! -.

- Goodbye SMG4 -.

Then they hung up. SMG3 finished doing his chores and took Eggdog to the mall, where he bought him some gifts (Like some toy bombs), he also bought him a new beak necklace and a new hat (Because his had been broken a while ago). time). Then, they walked around the square until 3:00pm struck. They went to eat at McDonald's (Eggdog's favorite restaurant) and at 4:27pm they returned to the Showgrounds. They arrived at the cafeteria, where they started playing.

Just when there were 10 minutes left until 5:00pm, SMG3 took the gifts he had for 4 and put them in his backpack, while Eggdog took his toy bombs (To play with Beeg while his parents were making dinner). The red-eyed man took his coat for the cold, his backpack and Eggdog. Thenthey closed the cafeteria and went to the castle.

Upon arrival, SMG4 was in his office room, using his computer with Beeg (They were watching memes).

- Hello 4 - said the red-eyed man.

- Hello 3, hello Eggdog! - he responded - Thank you for coming -.

- You're welcome, scrub -.

They both went out to the kitchen (While Eggdog and Beeg stayed drawing and playing), where they began to take out all the ingredients. When they had everything, they took off their gloves, their cap, they rolled up their sleeves and SMG3 took off his skull earrings.

- Hey 3, can I make you a braid? - the blue-eyed man asked, smiling.

- Aghhh... Ok... - he replied - But only this time -.

SMG4 took a rubber band out of the bag of his overalls and began to carefully braid the red-eye's hair, once he finished,3 took another garter and tied the blue-eyed man's bangs.

- Now we're even - he said, smiling.

And they started cooking, the first thing they prepared was the spaghetti (Because it was the quickest to prepare), then, SMG4 started making the cream of mushroom soup, while 3 was preparing the potatoes, carrots and asparagus. Then they began to make the pies in which they boiled the vegetables, then the fun began, since it was splashed and/or stained with the mixture.

- Hey 4, what's on your nose? - the red-eyed man asked sarcastically.

- What thing? - he responded by touching his nose.

Before I could react, 3 the He put a little mixture on the tip of his nose. As he started to laugh, then 4 took some mixture and put it on SMG3's cheeks. They both began to pour more and more mixture on each other, it seemed like a snow fight, only instead of snow, they used pie mix.

When the alarm started to sound that the vegetables were ready, they were also finishing preparing the turkey and the lion, so they could put them in the oven. Eggdog and Beeg came to the kitchen quickly.

- Hello children - said 4 while he finished arranging the turkey - What happens? -.

Next, the children took out 2 drawings, which they had made. In Eggdog's drawing, he had drawn his dad (SMG3) playing with him and Beeg's, it was one of him and his dad (SMG4) watching memes, while eating a McDonald's happy meal. They both handed them to their parents, while they gave them a big hug.

- Is beautiful, my precious Eggdog - 3 said smiling.

- I'm going to hang it on the wall of the special posters, so I can always see it - said SMG4 to Beeg.

While the blue-eyed and SMG3 they followed, congratulating your little ones on the drawings so beautiful they had just made. Then Eggdog and Beeg left to continue playing with the toy bombs. Then, the red-eye and 4 put the turkey and the lion in the oven. After that, they finished making the pay.

- Meggy, Mario! - SMG4 exclaimed - Can you come for a moment?! -.

Immediately afterwards, the orange-haired woman and the fat Italian arrived quickly.

- ¿What happens 4? -.

- Can you go setting the table - he said as his voice got louder - WITHOUT CREATING A DISASTER...? -.

- Okie Dokie! - Mario said smiling.

- Count on us! - Meggy responded.

They both ran to the dining room, while 3 and SMG4 continued making dinner...

...

Around 7:36pm They finally finished dinner. It had been somewhat exhausting, but at the same time it had been fun (Since they had never lived together for so long doing something). They left the food on the kitchen table and began to take the dishes, one by one, to the dining room table and to their surprise, Meggy and Mario had arranged the table correctly...

- Waoh... - said the red-eyed man without believing what he was seeing.

Had two idiots like Mario and Meggy really arranged the dining room correctly!?

- ¡Is amazing, thanks guys! - said 4 excitedly.

- You're welcome 4! - answered the orange-haired girl.

While Meggy finished tying Mario to the chair (With metal chains, to prevent him from eating everything before the others arrived) SMG3 went to change and 4 went to take a bath (Because a lot of food had fallen on his clothes and in his hair).

Once the red-eye finished dressing, he went to play with Eggdog and Beeg. Meanwhile,4 ended Just as he was putting on his white overalls, they heard a knock on the door.

-Hey, SMG4! - shouted 3.

- ¿¡That happens!? - answered the blue-eyed man

- The bell rang, the others had already started to arrive! -.

- I'll be there in a second! -.

SMG4 began to dress faster, that day (For the first time) he was going to use the clouds, moons, suns and star barrettes, along with the star earrings that Saiko, Meggy, Melony and Tari had given him on his last birthday . He loved them, but he never really wore them because he was afraid that they would criticize him...

He put them on and left his office room, SMG3 was sitting near the entrance looking at his cell phone...

- Until you finally appear - he said sarcastically.

- I'm sorry, but why didn't you open the door? - answered the blue-eyed man.

- Because it's your house -.

- But you can help me, right? -.

Right after saying that, 3 flipped to look him in the eyes, as if he were about to say something idiotic, but (To SMG4's surprise), he just stared at him. They stayed like that for a few seconds, until the red-eyed man looked back at his cell phone.

- Nice earrings and barrettes, scrub - he said.

4 was surprised, had 3 really just told him that he was cute?... Hadn't he thought that he was effeminate or something?... What SMG4 didn't know was that 3 had blushed right after saying that. , so I had hidden it with the brightness of the cell phone...

While the blue-eyed boy tried to hide his excitement and happiness, he approached the door. When they opened it, they realized they were SMG1 and SMG2.

- Hi guys! - 4 said to him as they passed - Are you ready for Secret Santa? -.

- Yep! - answered 2.

- Thank you for inviting us - said 1, smiling.

- No problem, in the end, we are friends and that's what friends do! -.

3 just smiled, he had heard that phrase 4 so many times. But he knew it was because he really had a very great affection for his friends, so it was his way of saying that he cared about them...

SMG3 simply sighed as he stood up, then walked to the table, where Meggy, Mario, SMG1 and SMG2 were already sitting, while Eggdog and Beeg were sitting at a small table near the Christmas tree. He sat in a chair and used his cell phone again...

- And... Have you been practicing? - SMG1 asked.

- Well, the truth is a little... - answered the red-eyed man.

- But we managed to do the "Meme-Fusion"! - said SMG4.

Immediately afterwards, the blue-eyed man sat next to 3...

- Waoh! - 2 exclaimed excitedly - That means they have been practicing! -.

They continued talking for a long time, until the doorbell rang again, this time it was Tari, Saiko, Melony and Luigi, they arrived with several gifts and one or another dessert. They left the gifts under the Christmas tree, and desserts. They left them on the table, when they finished doing that they sat down and started talking to each other. Finally, Bob and Boopkins arrived, they also carried several gifts along with the drinks, which were some Coca-Colas and some Sprites...

They sat at the table and in the end they were more or less like this:
In the center was Mario, while Meggy was on his right side and Luigi was on his left side, next to Luigi was Boopkins, followed by Bob, then there was SMG1 and to his left was SMG2, then there was SMG3, while next to him there was SMG4, then Saiko followed and at the end there was Tari, right next to Meggy...

They began to eat and talk. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, bad jokes from 4, practical jokes from Mario, philosophical explanations from 1 and so on... Even SMG3 said his sarcastic and/or passive aggressive comments (Which made the blue-eyed man laugh a lot)...

...

Once they finished dinner, they cleared the table and went to sit in the living room. Each one took the gifts they had brought for their secret friend, the first to pass was Luigi. He got up and walkedtoward the center of others.

- My secret friend is... MEGGY! - he exclaimed.

Meggy got up very excited, while everyone applauded and received the 2 bags that Luigi gave her. Inside them was a new red wool hat and a notebook for will plan your day.

- Thank you very much Luigi! - she said, giving him a big hug.

Then, Luigi sat down and Meggy took 2 packages and stood in half again.

- Well - said the orange-haired girl very excited - My secret friend is... SMG2! -.

Then 2 stepped in the middle and they gave him new pajamas and a teddy bear, then SMG2 gave Mario a huge pot of spaghetti, then Mario gave the 4 books to SMG1 and he gave gardening things to Luigi. ..How had closed the cycle (So a person who had already given a gift had left) it was SMG3's turn to start the new cycle...

- Well... My secret friend is... SMG4... - he said, trying to raise his voice.

The blue-eyed boy stood up slowly, while 3 took the gifts out of his backpack. Once he took them out, he noticed that the letter was missing...

- Damn... - he thought while gritting his teeth.

He took the 3 packages and carefully handed them to SMG4 (who was still surprised and slightly blushing).

- I just hope you like it... - he said

Once that 4 already had his hands, began to open the smaller package. When he saw what it was he couldn't believe it, they were the pins he had ordered... In the other, slightly larger package, was the cloud lamp that I had lost... In the last package (the largest of the 3) there were some ice skates...

But these were special, since they were very light blue, with the SMG4 logo glitched on one side, while on the other there was a Moon, with a star in the middle and the laces were bright blue...

- I painted them... I hope you like them - said the red-eyed man, somewhat embarrassed.

It was the first time someone had given something so beautiful to 4...

- Waoh! - said the blue-eyed boy, very excited - This is incredible! -.

He then gave SMG3 a hug.

- Thank you very much, 3 -.

- You're welcome, scrub -.

Just as 3 was about to sit down, he heard Meggy and SMG2 start to laugh...

- My secret friend is... - he said excitedly - SMG3! -.

The red-eyed man couldn't believe what he had just heard, so he got up again and went to the front.

- I hope you like it! - SMG4 said happily.

The blue-eyed he delivered 3 packages, in the smallest there was a new pair of skull earrings, in the second there were several toys for Eggdog in the shape of skulls and bombs, in the last one, there were video games for the PC...

- Thank you very much, 4 - said 3, giving him a hug.

SMG4 then hugged him back. They continued hugging for a few seconds and then they let go and each one returned to its place...

How the cycle closed again, this time it started Saiko gave a stuffed animal and an axolotl blanket to Melony, she gave pajamas and a duckling jacket to Tari, the blue-haired girl gave some new swords to Bob, he gave her posters and anime stuffed animals to Boopkins and lastly, he gave a new guitar and a KFC stuffed animal to Saiko...

Everyone was very happy with their gifts (Even Eggdog and Beeg, since they had exchanged drawings between them)... But above all, SMG3 was surprised by the fact that he had given 4 and in the end, the blue-eyed boy also gave it to him...

As soon as Secret Santa was over, they started watching a movie, this time they saw the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"... Once it was over, everyone left.going to his house...

- Goodbye SMG3, goodbye Eggdog! - said SMG4, while hugging Beeg.

- Goodbye Baka, goodbye Beeg - 3 replied, while he and Eggdog went to the cafeteria.

Already in the cafeteria, SMG3 continued looking at the earrings he had given her.dice 4...He still couldn't believe that it was really their turn to give each other a gift... He was happy, but at the same time a little disappointed, since he wanted to give him the letter... But he was worried that he wouldn't like it ...

He went to bed and put the earrings on her nightstand, next to the moon-shaped bracelet that 4 had given her a few days ago... He turned to look at the ceiling... He turned to look at the window... He looked at the Moon ...

- Please give me strength, so I can tell SMG4 everything I feel... - he said.

Time passed slowly, while SMG3 continued thinking about what was going to happen the next day... Little by little his vision began to blur... While sleep had taken over him... Before he could think of another thing, he had already fallen asleep...
