Sinnamon Squad Christmas Party!

The room buzzed with holiday cheer as the gang gathered around the glowing Christmas tree, the floor beneath them buried in a sea of colorfully wrapped gifts. Valt stood at the center, his energy contagious as he clapped his hands together and grinned ear to ear.

"All right, everyone! This year's theme is something useless! Let's see what kind of ridiculousness you guys came up with!"

The group exchanged sly glances, already holding back laughter at the absurd gifts they had prepared. Oh, this day will be amazing.

Pri carefully unwrapped her gift, her curiosity piqued since she notice the wrapping is made of candy wrapper that is glued together. She's starting to think the wrapper is has more effort than the object inside, whatever is it. When she finally got through the layers of overly taped wrapping paper, she pulled out... a single sock. It was an old, faded sock, greyish - if that is even the right color - slightly stretched out and worn at the heel.

Pri's eyebrows shot up as she held it between two fingers like it was radioactive, it might l, considering a fly just passed by and quickly die . "Uh... Valt-senpai? Care to explain?"

(She's kinda expecting more considering how mature her senpai)

(But she keep forgetting how mischievous he can be sometimes)

Valt scratched the back of his head, his trademark grin faltering slightly, looks like he's starting to regret it a little . "Well, it's useless without the other one, right? I mean, who wants just one sock?"

The room fell silent for a moment before Pri's expression shifted to one of pure disbelief. "Wait. Is this a used sock?"

Valt took a step back, waving his hands defensively. "Hey, hey, it's clean! I washed it-well, I think I did..."

Pri choked upon hearing that, "Why did you even keep something like this! Surely you can throw it away already!"

"Hahaha. That's the point. It was Bell's sock. I kinda sneak into his closet "

The demon lord choked on air upon hearing his name, and his whole face went into deep red shade of tomato, when the other give him a weird glance.

"Oi! W-hho give y-you the permission steal my t-thing!"

Meanwhile, Pri's face twisted between horror and laughter before she hurled the sock at Bell's head. It landed perfectly on his shoulder like some bizarre decoration. She received a glare - it's not even effective when there is a pout - but she just ignore it. Valt, laughing too hard at the scene unfold

"Merry Christmas, you absolute goofball."

Hyuga bounced in place as Hikaru opened his present, his excitement barely contained. The wrapping paper came off to reveal a small, oddly shaped object. Hikaru stared at it, then turned it over in his hands. He blink, to double check what he is staring at but there is no mistaken it.

"...Is this a doorstop?" Hikaru asked, squinting at the Beyblade-shaped wedge.

Dante raise his eyebrow, "Where you got something like that?"

Hyuga puffed out his chest proudly. "Not just any doorstop! It's custom-made for BeyBladers!"

Hikaru's expression fell flat. "You know I don't need a doorstop, right? We never leave the door open since we share the same room "

Hyuga crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips. "Exactly! That's why it's useless!"

Hikaru shook his head but couldn't suppress the small smile creeping onto his face. "Fine. I guess I'll use it... as a paperweight."

Hyuga beamed. "See? It's already useful!"

Deep within Hikaru's head, he consider the weight and sharpness of the doorstop, which could turn into weapon. He could already imagine the damage Lane would take when he throw it at full speed.

He tried his best to ignore the silent death glare giving him from his back. Why does he always know what they are up to!?

🎁

Aiga tore into Dante's gift with the enthusiasm of someone expecting greatness. What he found, however, was a small box labeled, "DIY Build-Your-Own Beyblade Kit." His initial excitement dimmed as he opened the box to reveal a mess of random items: mismatched screws, broken rubber bands, and what appeared to be chewed-up pencil erasers. He already has a lot of mess back into his home, he doesn't need more!

( He's expecting a broken gun, atleast he could try to fix it!)

"...What is this?" Aiga asked, holding up a bent nail with a scowl. Oh come on, his partner in crime could at least give him some excitement.

Pri is snickering at the background, when she knew her gift wasn't so bad.

Dante crossed his arms, trying to suppress his laughter. "It's a challenge! You're always saying you can make anything work, so here's your chance."

Aiga's face contorted between frustration and amusement. "This is literally a box of trash."

"Creative trash!" Dante corrected, grinning.

Aiga shook his head, but a faint smirk tugged at his lips. "You're impossible."

Then while looking at the box, he saw a paper with hidden message

"Meet me at the secret place"

Aiga hide a smirk and Bell sense the upcoming chaos too, hoping to join as well.

🎁

Valt eagerly ripped open Bell's gift, the wrapping paper flying everywhere. Inside was... a brick. Not just any brick-a bright pink brick with glitter glued sloppily to one side.

Valt blinked. "Uh... what?"

Bell threw an arm around Valt's shoulders, grinning like a proud kid . "Behold! The most useless brick ever! It's too small for construction, doesn't match anything, and the glitter? Completely impractical."

Valt turned the brick over in his hands, his face a mix of confusion and admiration. "You really went all out on this."

"Only the best for you!" Bell said with mock sincerity.

Valt rolled his eyes but can't help but smile. It was until Aiga spoke, ruining his happiness.

"Hey, let's use that brick to destroy that luxury sports car we saw earlier, the one with rude driver"

🎁

Bell's gift was suspiciously light, and when he opened it, he found an empty glass jar with a label that read, "Premium Air from the Beyblade Arena."

Bell's expression shifted from confusion to incredulity. Why does this girl love to mess up with him. "You gave me a jar of nothing?"

The other's can't help but laugh. Seriously, the dynamic between these two is funny.

Pri smirked, crossing her arms, she really love messing with his idiotic friend. "Not nothing-premium air! Do you know how hard it is to collect something this rare? Be honored I actually did something for you"

Bell held the jar up to the light as if inspecting its contents. "Wow. Truly priceless," he said dryly. Then, after a pause, he added with a grin, "I'm keeping it. This is going on my shelf. Just wait what I'll put it here"

From the back, Hyuga whispered something to Dante, "I'm betting 5 bucks he'll put a disgusting slime there"

"Make it ten, he'll put a fart in there"

🎁

Dante tore into his present, his excitement turning to confusion as he held up a single neon green shoelace-extra long and frayed at the edges.

"...Thanks?" Dante said, holding it up like it was some alien artifact.

Hikaru leaned back, arms crossed. "You never know when you'll need to tie something really, really long."

Dante laughed, tying the shoelace into an elaborate bow. "You know what? This might actually come in handy. Totally useless, but kind of fun!"

(He can't wait to use it to tie his victims!)

Valt still can't believe his kids can turn useless things into dangerous weapons. He wouldn't be surprised if they can turn a toothpaste into a biohazard bomb.

By the end of the exchange, the room was filled with laughter and a ridiculous assortment of useless gifts. Valt wiped tears from his eyes, holding his pink glitter brick close. "This was the dumbest idea ever... and also the best. Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"Also, just because it's Christmas. I won't let anyone of you to create chaos"

"HOW DID YOU KNOW!?!"
