Chapter 27: All: Christmas Party
Sam
Once we got to the school, the party had already started. We put our jackets on one of the lunch tables, since that was wear we were supposed to put them and they were right next to the gym. We walked in.
The party was in full swing. Loud music was playing, and everyone was dancing. I took Chrissy's hand and we danced together.
It seemed too short. Soon, I heard the music stop, and Rowan's voice said, "NOW WE HAVE CHRISSY KARU, WHO WILL BE DOING A SPECIAL SOMETHING FOR US!"
Chrissy left my side and walked up the stage. She I could tell she was nervous. She sat down at the piano and started to play. Then she sang. (A/N: um, I made this up, so I can't do a video or a link so you can hear it. The tune is almost exactly like 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.' You know what, you just make it work)
"God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Good tidings to you and kin
O come all ye faithful
And rock around the Christmas tree.
"Our finest gifts we bring
To hear the Herald Angels sing
On a silent night, a holy night
And dance around the Christmas tree.
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky
The beautiful noise that touches my ear
Is the song we sing
As we stand around the Christmas tree.
"God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Good tidings to you and kin
O come all ye faithful
And rock around the Christmas tree."
She ended the song. It was amazing. She hadn't even used the paper she had written it in earlier. It was all from memory.
She stood up and bowed. Everyone clapped. Some people "Whoo"-ed, others whistled, but it was all cheer.
Chrissy hurried off the stage and over to me.
"You did great!" I told her.
Before she could reply, the music turned on. It was a Christmas slow song. I offered Chrissy my hand.
"May I have this dance?" I said in a fake British voice.
"Of course," she replied, also in a fake British voice. (A/N: sorry if I offended anyone. I'm from the U.S.A) She took my hand.
I lead her out onto the dance floor. There were a lot of people already there.
I placed my right hand on her waist and my left on her shoulder. She did the same. Then we danced.
It started off weird. I was nervous, she was nervous, it was awkward. The we got the hang of it. Soon I was spinning her around and whatnot. We didn't notice, but everyone was watching us.
Then the song ended. We just stood there, smiling. Her arms were around my neck, and my arms were around her waist.
Then we noticed everyone watching us. "Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss." They started off as whispers. Then they got louder and louder. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
"Just kiss already!" someone said above us. We looked up. Taurtis was standing on the second floor, reaching a long pole out just above us. On it, was mistletoe.
"Guess we can't turn back now," Chrissy said.
"Nope. We can't."
So we kissed.
I picked her up. She wrapped her feet around me and threw her hands around my neck. It was the best kiss ever. I didn't notice everyone taking pictures and whatnot around us. We seemed to be the only things in the universe.
Then we broke apart. I put her down. As we walked away from the center of the gym, I heard everyone screaming.
"OMG OMG OMG!"
"This is so going on Fumblr."
"Srissy for life!"
"O. T. Freaking. P."
We didn't care. We just walked out of the gym, away from everyone else.
Chrissy
We walked to the second floor and all the way down the hallway. We stopped at the end, where the window was supposed to be. We sat down, legs dangling over the edge. (A/N: gosh that sounds dangerous)
Sam put his arm around me. I smiled.
"I totally fooled Taurtis," I said suddenly.
"How?"
"I got him a phone. But I taped it to the bottom of a big box so it wouldn't slide."
Sam laughed. "That's genius!"
"Can't you imagine the look on his face tomorrow?"
"I can!"
We laughed. Then I turned towards him. I lightly touched one of his bunny ears. Then, I did the unexpected: I scratched behind his ear like you would do a pet.
His ears drooped. I saw his nose twitch. He slightly closed his eyes.
"A little to the right," he said. I moved my hand.
"Up." I moved my hand again.
"Ahhhh, that's the spot."
I giggled.
"What?" he asked.
"You're so funny," I said. "And I knew these were real ears."
"Yeah, I'm part rabbit."
"It's cute."
"Really?"
"Yeah! You're freaking adorable!" I stopped scratching his ear and took of the white hat he wore to keep his ears a secret.
"It looks better that way."
Then we leaned in, and kissed. It started of soft, then became more passionate. I ran my fingers through his curly hair. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled us close together. It was perfect. I thought, This is where I want to be.
We broke apart. I stood up. So did Sam. I took his hand.
"Come on," I said. "We need to go back to the house. We need sleep."
"But-" Sam protested.
"Tomorrow's Christmas! If you don't behave, I won't give you your present."
"Fine."
I laughed and we walked away from the window.

"Everyone! Wake up! It's Christmas!"
I sat up and yawned. I could hear Taurtis yelling downstairs. I got up and walked down the stairs.
"Don't be so loud Taurtis," I said.
"But it's Christmas!" he said.
"I know. You've screamed it a million freaking times."
Chan, Sam, and Grian came down the stairs. I sat down on the couch. Sam sat beside me. Chan walked into the kitchen.
"I'll make breakfast!" she said. "Taurtis, don't you dare touch those presents!"
"Awww."
Chan made us all pancakes. I poured my syrup into a Christmas tree. Sam tried to do the same, but it ended up going everywhere. I giggled as he cleaned up the syrup.
After we ate, Chan told Taurtis we could open presents. Taurtis screamed in excitement.
Before anyone opened anything, we all sat in a circle with our piled of presents in front of each of us.
"Taurtis, you can go first," Chan said.
"Yay!" Taurtis squealed, picking up the present from me. He ripped the wrapping paper off. Then he opened the box, and his face fell. Slightly.
"You troll," he said, glaring at me, but he was smiling. I burst out laughing. Sam laughed with me.
"What? What did she get you?" Grian asked.
"A phone." Taurtis pulled it out of the box.
"That's good!"
"Yeah, but she tricked me!"
Me and Sam were still laughing.
"You knew about this?" Taurtis asked Sam. He nodded. "Uhhhhhhhhggg."
Taurtis opened the rest of his presents. He got a GameCrab game from Chan, another game from Grian, and a small, dark blue pillow from Sam. On it, his "T" was stitched. The left half was light blue and the right half was red. The same thing was on his favorite shirt.
"Thanks Sam!" he said, hugging the pillow.
"You're welcome," Sam said. "I made it myself."
"You made it yourself? Well, it's awesome!"
Chan opened her presents next. She got the sweater from me, a hat from Taurtis, a necklace from Grian, and a hair bow from Sam.
Grian was next. He got the mug from me, a book from Taurtis, another book from Sam, and another book from Chan. Apparently, Grian likes books. (A/N: 0.o....roll with me)
Sam opened his present after Grian. Taurtis got him a big pack of carrots (Sam was happy about that), Chan got him a gift card, and Grian got him a manga. Then he opened my present. It was a fourteen carat gold (A/N: see what I did there) carrot pendent on a silver chain. On the back of the carrot, there was an engraving that said, "My Bunny Boy -Love, Chrissy." He put it on.
"How'd you get this?" he asked.
"I put the pendent on hold since, I don't even know. Then I asked them to engrave that in it."
"Where'd you get the money for it?"
"Sam, my dad is the leader of the Yakuza."
"Oh yeah..."
Then I started opening my presents. Chan got me a shirt I wanted, Grian got me a book, Taurtis got me a shirt that said, "I am an awesome sister," and Sam got me...a bunny hat.
I put it on.
"Where'd you get this?" I said. "You're father?"
"Ha ha," he said. "I'm not telling you. Just appreciate it."
"I am, bunny boy."
We spent the rest of the day doing Christmas-y things. We went outside for most of the day. It had snowed. We had snowball fights, built snowmen, etc. At the end of the day, Chan convinced me to play my song again.
When it was time for bed, we slept in the living room. Sam and me slept beside each other. We were so close, our faces were only inches apart.
"Here," he said, handing me Mr. Snugglemuffins. "You can sleep with him. He's soft."
"Thanks Sam," I said. Then I rubbed his nose with mine. He look surprised.
"What? Isn't that what rabbits do?"
"Yeah, I just didn't know you knew that."
"Everyone knows that, Sam."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Goodnight Chrissy."
"Goodnight Sam."
"Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
Then I fell asleep, Mr. Snugglemuffins in my hands. I thought only one thing before I drifted off to dream.
It's good to see everyone smile again.
~A/N: sorry there's no Taurtis P.O.V. in this chapter. I needed that last line to be Chrissy. Also, if anyone could tell me how many carols I used in Chrissy's song, that would be great. You don't have to. I'm just too lazy to do it. :)~
