(This is what everyone looks like in their Christmas outfits.)

Outside in the snow, Eclipse walks through the path and notices Sonic and Tails hiding behind the snow fort they made earlier.

"Hey, Tails. Here we comes. Get a snowball ready." Sonic said as Tails got to work.

"Not this again." Eclipse groaned and walked away.

Knuckles comes out of the house to take a walk when a snowball hits him straight in the head, causing him to fall unconscious. Sonic and Tails laughed hysterically at the hilarious beat he took.

"Nice shot, Tails. You got him."

"Yeah, I did!"

Eclipse keeps walking away when he saw Y/N and Shadow by the tree.

"Oh, and by the way, if you don't have any plans for Christmas Day, you're more than welcome to stop by my place or I can come over to yours, whichever works."

"Thanks. I'll consider it now and let you know."

"Great. See you then."

Shadow then walked away, leaving her to stare where he had gone.

"Hmph! Like anyone would ever invite me to a party like that." Eclipse scoffed, looking down and continuing on his walk.

As he walk past by, Y/N noticed him.

"Hmm? Was that Eclipse? Hey, Eclipse! Where—?"

She stopped to see him already gone.

"I... was going to ask him if he's coming over..."

Eclipse then made it back to his house and went inside. The Dark Arms saw his return and greeted him.

"Hey, guys. Hmph! Who wants to be around others during the holiday season? It's all too hectic, all work for no reason, especially Christmas. The worst day of the year. Why the entire neighborhood will be festive with cheer? Ugh! I just hate Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Don't you ask me why. I ain't got a reason."

The Dark Arms stare at him for a moment when they didn't noticed the bright light coming nearby and the cheery voice spoke.

"Is it because your shoes are all tight? Wait, you don't have any! Hehe! Or maybe your head isn't screwed on just right?"

"W-What was that?!" Eclipse exclaimed, looking around.

"Whee! I got a hunch. The biggest reason of all is 'cause your heart is two sizes, too small! Oh, boy! That rhymes! Hehehe!"

He and the Dark Arms turned to reveal a pink pony.

"What are you?!"

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! The dashiest, funniest pony of all times! Now let's get to business! Serious business!" Pinkie exclaimed, looking around for something.

"Huh? What are you looking for?"

"My business glasses. I can't do business without them."

"Look. Why are you here?"

"The spirit of Christmas told me something about helping you get your wish or something for some weird reason. Hey! We're not supposed to talk about this until I get my glasses!"

Eclipse looks confused along with Dark Arms.

"A wish? Anything?"

"Yeeeeep!"

"Then I wish Christmas was canceled!"

"Oh, yes, see I can't do that exactly because... you know, the spirits of Christmas sent me here and all that jazz. But hey! I can at least help you with that wish. Just can't use magic to grant it."

"You can?"

"Sure. I saw a movie about this once. All you gotta do is dress up as Santa and steal Christmas!"

"Pinkie Pie... you're a genius!"

"I am? Of course I am!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"This is going to be the worst Christmas for them yet."

Eclipse begins to laugh evilly along with Pinkie Pie. He then stops to see her laughing even harder than him. She also stops her laughing to see him staring at her.

"What? I'm happy because I found my glasses! See?"

Pinkie Pie showed him her glasses. Dark Arms look at each other with concern, hoping that this Christmas won't be a disaster and will change Eclipse's heart.

Meanwhile, at Y/N's treehouse, in the kitchen, Y/N is humming "O Christmas Tree" song staring at the oven when Sally called.

"Hey, Y/N, what are you up to?"

Y/N turned to see her.

"Oh, Sally. Ah, just baking cookies for Santa over here. Phew. It's taken forever."

"What?"

"I'm making cookies for Santa. Not those cookies. Those cookies are bad and store-bought."

Y/N gestured to the cookies in a jar that looked overdue. Sally suddenly began to laugh, making her confused.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Sally immediately stopped laughing.

"Wait... you're serious?"

"Uh... yes? Why?"

"...Uh, nothing. Is Amy in on this...?"

"No, she actually isn't here right now. She's taking over the baking shop for Vanilla after hearing that she was sick. Cream is also helping."

"That's nice of her."

"Yeah."

Suddenly they hear a ding.

"Oh! That means my cookies are done!"

Y/N brought out her mitten gloves and opened the oven and pulled out the tray full of baked cookies as she took a whiff of the scent.

"Ah! Perfect! Santa is going to love these! Look how freshly baked they are, Sally."

"That's cute. You're really serious about this, huh?"

"Uh... Of course! I had met Santa at one time when I was a kid. And he said that I was really good this year so of course, I'm gonna butter up some cookies."

"Really?"

"Yeah. When I was sleeping, I heard a loud noise and went down to check what was going on and that's when I met him. Delivering presents right underneath my family's Christmas tree. It was the best year ever and I would never forget him. He knew I had seen him and was so nice."

"Huh... Now I wish I could see Santa already."

"Yep. I feel lucky."

"Say, I wanted to ask you... who did you invite to come over for Christmas Day?"

"Oh, you know. Just the same people that I invited for the party, of course."

"What about the mystery gift you're still holding onto?"

Y/N noticed Sally is looking straight the present she's holding onto and pulled it out.

"Oh, this." she frowned, looking down at the present.

"...Something wrong?" Sally asked in concern.

"Um... It's just..." Y/N was about to say something, but just sighed instead. "It's nothing... It's not really a personal gift isn't like I made it or something, but I-I don't know. I just... thought it would be nice... Oh, well..."

"Hm, say... need help putting out those cookies?" Sally suggested, wanting to change the subject and seeing her sad.

Y/N looked up at her in surprise.

"R-Really?"

"Yeah... why not?"

"Yay! Alright! Let's get everything ready and put out the presents and all this kind of—let's get everything ready."

"Shouldn't we wait for Amy and Bunnie?"

"Nah, they said they'd rather get us ready for Santa. They might crash at either Vanilla's place or Antoine's place until the morning."

"Is there anyone else we're missing to invite? If it's Eclipse, that would be a complete disaster!" Sally asked, laughing at her joke.

Though Y/N smiled rather forcibly and laughed a little.

"Yeah... That would be terrible."

"Hmph. Now where do these cookies go? We don't exactly have a fireplace you know."

"Oh! I wanted to put them right here."

She pointed at the table in the middle of the living room where the couch is and near the Christmas tree they placed.

"I know we don't have a fireplace, but I know for sure, Santa always finds a way. He will."

"Doesn't that concern you?"

"Not at all. Like if he finds his way into my house, not at all. It's Santa we're talking about here."

"Okay, well... I'm going to head up and finish up wrapping my gifts for the gift exchange tomorrow."

"Alright. Good idea. I'll be cleaning this room and getting ready for Santa. Bring your gifts down when you're ready to put them under the tree."

Sally nodded before heading into her room. Y/N looked at the nice baked cookies and put some frosting on each of them before sprinkling them with Christmas themed sprinklers and placed them in a plate. She goes to the fridge and pulls out a bottle of milk and goes over and pours it into a cup before it's all done and ready.

"Well... Merry Christmas."

With that, she places the milk back inside the fridge and heads into her room for a change and goes to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside in the snow, Eclipse is in his Santa outfit, sitting in a sleigh with his Dark Arms in the front of the reigns as a reindeer.

"Heyy! Looking sharp there!" Pinkie Pie grinned.

"I will make them all pay for making fun of me and not inviting me to their parties!"

Pinkie Pie jumped in shock with a loud gasp.

"What?! They didn't invite you to their parties?! Everyone should be invited to their parties! How dare they?!"

"You would say that, Pinkie Pie. Now... onward to steal Christmas!"

Pinkie Pie goes in front of the Dark Arms as the leader as Rudolph and they went flying in the air. "You're A Mean One, Mr. Eclipse" montages the scene. They made it up to the neighborhood's rooftop as Eclipse got off of the sleigh and heads down into a chimney with a malicious grin on his face.

"You're a mean one, Mr. Eclipse

You really are a heel"

Eclipse made it down and began to take all the presents, including the Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree.

"You're as cuddly as a cactus

You're as charming as an eel

Mr. Eclipse, you're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!"

Eclipse climbs back up from the chimney and heads back into his sleigh as they take off to another house to steal from inside.

"You're a monster, Mr. Eclipse

Your heart is an empty hole

Your brain is full of spiders

You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Eclipse

I wouldn't touch you with a thirty nine and a half foot pole."

One by one Eclipse takes all the stuff that are Christmas. He then made it to Y/N's treehouse as he begins to take another more Christmas stuff while eating the cookies and drinking milk.

"You're a fire one, Mr. Eclipse

You have termites in your smile

You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Eclipse

Given the choice between the two of you

I take the seasick crocodile!

Hahahaha!!"

Y/N groans in her sleep to hear some ruckus and has a sudden feeling about this. She gets up from her bed and goes over to check what was going on and saw Eclipse in his Santa outfit, holding the Christmas tree and looking like he's going to throw it out.

"Santa??"

Eclipse turned around in surprise to see her.

"Gah!"

"Santa? Is that you?"

"O-Of course it's me." Eclipse lied in his fake Santa voice. "Now you should get back to bed."

"Why are you taking our tree?"

"Well... because... a light went out and I got to take it back to my shop to fix it."

"But if a light's out I have an extra bulb we can use over in the kitchen—"

"Just go to bed!" Eclipse cut her off.

Y/N stopped for a moment and squinted her eyes at him.

"Wait... I know that voice. Eclipse?!"

Eclipse tried to make up a lie, but seeing her looking straight at him, he gave up with a sigh.

"Yes... It's me."

"Eclipse, why are you doing this?"

"Because I can! If I can't have Christmas, then no one can!"

"Huh?"

Y/N had no idea what he was talking about.

"Let's face it. No one aside from my Dark Arms had gotten me gifts and the one gift I get from you is a joke."

"What? No! That wasn't a joke at all."

"Right. Whatever. If it wasn't, then why didn't you invite me to your party?"

Y/N looked at him like he was stupid or had lost his mind.

"What do you mean? I did!"

"No you didn't!"

"I did! I sent you an invitation to your mailbox."

"Mailbox...?" Eclipse looked at her in confusion.

"Yes! Don't you check it?"

Now he feels embarrassed.

"Um... I get all my bills online and... no one ever sends me things so... n-no."

"Well, I sent you an invitation and to prove it. Here."

Y/N pulls out the mystery present she had been holding for a while the one Sally noticed earlier. Eclipse looks at her with slight surprise and takes it.

"What's this?"

"It's not exactly Christmas yet, but go ahead and open it."

Eclipse slowly unwraps the present and he looks shock at what was inside the box. He takes it out to reveal the two handmade plushies of the Chao version of Y/N and... himself.

"T-This..."

"I made it myself and it's me as a Chao and I made you as a Chao too because... that was the first time you were ever nice to me and I wanted to commemorate that moment. I was going to give it to you at the party, but you didn't show up."

Eclipse begins to tear up as he sniffled.

"Th-Thank you..!"

"You're welcome. Also just so you know, you and the Dark Arms are invited to join us on Christmas Day. If you want to."

"Th-Thank you so much!"

"Also... you better give them all the things you stole before they wake up."

"Yeah... I was thinking about it."

Y/N nodded with a smile and hugged him, causing him to blush. He eventually hugged back.

"Merry Christmas, Eclipse."

"M-Merry Christmas, Y/N..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, it was now Christmas Day.

"And what happened then? On Mobotropolis, they say is that Eclipse's small heart grew three times that day and then the true meaning of Christmas came through. To spend time with family and friends! Who knew? Hehehe!" Pinkie Pie narrated with a giggle.

Everyone, including Eclipse and the Dark Arms Y/N had invited comes inside the same party tent, but with something more different and more creative as everyone sat down and talk and feast with one another. Y/N had received a lot of presents from almost everyone. She had gotten a nice family picture from her parents, a friendship bracelet from Sally, a cute outfit from Amy, and a few other things she love.

T-shirt from Sonic

Cute handmade plushie from Tails

Ancient emerald golden bracelet from Knuckles

Red diamond rose earrings fom Shadow

Lipstick taser from Rouge

Giant sword from Omega

Cherry blossom hairpin fom Espio

Glass butterfly from Silver

Blue fire in a jar from Blaze

A pearl in a shell lamp from Razor

Flying motorcycle from Jet and the Babylon Rogues

This made her faint at the sight of the beautiful vehicle before she got up and gave Jet a big kiss on each cheek, hearing it was his idea and recommendation to build that. Jet sighed in bliss with a goofy smile. Y/N even received three other more presents from the certain people she'd never hear from them and had never remembered inviting them since she doesn't know where they are.

Ninja Hand Claws from Zero

Gold trimmed green rose from Scourge

Big diamond ring from Fiona

After receiving a lot of gifts as well as giving them gifts, Y/N watches from afar with a smile at how happy everyone is. Eclipse comes next to her and joins her in to watch everyone enjoy the party. He looks at her with a smile, making her smile back. Then they looked up to see a mistletoe above them.

"Uh..."

"Hmm??"

Eclipse laughs nervously, feeling his heart beating very loud.

"There's no way you'd—Huh?!"

Y/N leans in and kisses him on a cheek, making his face go all red. She giggles at the look on his face.

"Take that as a thank you for coming over. And next time, check on your mailbox. You'll never know what you'll receive."

"Y-Yeah... I'll keep that in mind. Oh, and I wanted to get you this... as also a thank you for actually inviting me to your party. To be honest, this is my first time having a party with everyone else..." he said, pulling out a small wrapped up box.

"Eclipse..." she felt her heart melt from hearing that.

She unwrapped the gift and gasped to see a dark purple and blue diamond ring.

"It's beautiful."

Y/N placed the ring around her middle finger and it fitted perfectly.

"I'm glad you liked it." Eclipse said, smiling.

The certain people noticed that and were in shock that Eclipse got kissed under the mistletoe by THE Y/N! Y/N saw that and shook her head and came over to them and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek, shocking them even more. She just kissed them all without the mistletoe.

"I love you all. Don't forget that. Merry Christmas to you all."

They then smiled and they all wished her a Merry Christmas as well.
