It was early in the morning and snow fell from the sky. It was now the last day before the Christmas break for the students. Walking towards the school was Gaige, who was wearing her usual red scarf, mittens and her usual clothing and was checking out her phone. She let out a sigh of relief as she was ready to relax during the holidays.

Even if that was the case, she still felt uneasy of her current situation with Flash.

"Ah, there's that feeling again," Gaige said to herself, "Anata ga tsukutta."

Behind her, Flash was running towards and was about to call out to her. However, he saw the Snow on the ground and thought of an idea. He gave out a big smile and cupped a huge ball of snow. He then slowly walked behind Gaige and called her out.

"Gaige! Gaige!" Flash called out.

"Oh, Good morning Bra-"

As Gaige turned around, her eyes shrank as she saw the grinning boy holding a big ball of snow on his hands. Suddenly, Gaige began to run as fast as she can, prompting Flash to chase after her as well. After a grueling chase and eventually Gaige getting hit by the snowball, the two headed to school together.

The two were near the school and they could see the students heading inside. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie came out of the bushes beside them and startled the two.

"JESUS PINKIE STOP DOING THAT!" Gaige exclaimed.

"Sorry guys!" Pinkie laughed, "It's about time I make an appearance in this story!"

"Pinkie quiet! Brad doesn't know these things we are aware of!"

And she was correct, Gaige turned to Flash and saw him with a confused look.The boy then shrugged and crossed his arms.

"What do you want Pinkie?" Flash asked.

"Sunday this week is the 25th! You know what that means?!" Pinkie said excitedly.

"Hmm? My birthday, why?" Gaige said.

Pinkie immediately froze, which made the two raised their brows. They watched the girl slowly get back to her senses and slowly dropped her jaw in surprise. Pinkie placed her hands on Gaige's shoulders and began to violently shake her.

"WHAT?!" Pinkie shouted.

"JESUS PINKIE VOLUME PLEASE!" Gaige exclaimed, "And by the way, I'll be celebrating with my family on that day, so PLEASE don't prepare anything special.. And please no party cannons."

"PLEASE EXCUSE ME!" Pinkie said as she ran off, "I NEED TO REVISE SOME THINGS!"

Gaige and Flash looked on dumbfounded and looked at each other in confusion.

"Did she hear me? What on earth is that girl planning?" Gaige said.

Flash smiled as he looked at Gaige.

"So it's your birthday and Christmas at the same time? Merry birthday I guess?" Flash chuckled.

"Thanks?" Gaige cringed with a slight blush, "I also need to tell Hazel the same thing."

"Speaking of which... Can I-"

"Thinking about it. I think a gift would be enough for you."

"Aw come on."

Gaige giggled as the two continued on walking. They stopped by near the Canterlot statue-Portal because Flash needed to tie his shoes. While waiting, Gaige turned her phone on and checked her blog. Suddenly, she began to hear whirling sounds behind her. Gaige turned around to see that the Statue's side began to glow a purple color. She slowly backed away from it, leaving Flash completely oblivious to what was happening. As she was about to tell Flash, a familiar violet haired girl came flying out of the portal and crashing onto Flash in the process.

Gaige ran to them and upon closer inspection, she recognized the girl was Twilight Sparkle from the Pony World. Not only that she saw Twilight, she also saw her on top of Flash, the same fashion she had with him during her early days in Canterlot. She began to feel angered by this and crossed her arms.

"Ow.." Flash groaned in pain as he rubbed the back of his head.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Twilight on top of him, the girl who he fell inlove with during the Fall Formal. He began to blush red while Twilight got off him. The girl gave out half a smile and blushed red as well.

"T-T-T-Twilight? W-W-W-What are you doing here?!" Flash said nervously.

"Hehehe, visiting I guess?" Twilight replied.

"Umm.. THAT'S GREAT! IT'S GOOD TO SEE-"

Flash then realized that he was now in the middle of a crisis. He turned to Gaige and saw her wearing a face of disbelief. Gaige let out a hmph, turned her back on Flash and walked away from him. The boy's jaw dropped in misery as he fell on his knees and looked down on the ground.

"Flash, you okay?" Twilight called out.

"....I think I just saw the devil.." Flash said in a low tone.

"Plus who was that you were with? Is she new here?"

Flash stood up and patted the dirt away from his knees. His heart rate began to increase rapidly as he faced the girl that he once loved, or maybe he still loves her. Flash coughed and played it cool.

"That was Gaige." Flash said with a blush.

"A friend perhaps?" Twilight asked as her face turned to worry, "Or was that your girlfriend?"

"GIRLFRIEND?! NAH SHE'S A FRIEND! WELL SHE'S MORE THAN JUST A FRIEND FOR ME BUT YOU KNOW!" Flash said slowly as his face began to turn red even more and rubbed the back of his head.

Twilight grew confused by this, but quickly shook it off. Her face turned into a serious look and gave out a sigh.

"Look Flash, the reason why I came here is to see you." Twilight proclaimed.

"HUH?" Flash exclaimed with a brighter blush.

"I want to have a talk with you, that's okay right?" Twilight continued.

"I uh-"

"Sunday sounds good right?"

"Twi I-"

"Great! I'll see you then!" Twilight smiled as she ran towards the school, "I'm in a hurry! Sorry!"

Twilight disappeared inside the building and left Flash dumbfounded outside. He began to feel uneasy and confused of what was happening. Not only that, he realized that he needed to choose which girl he loves. Flash began to bite his nails and started to become nervous of this. Not to mention, why was Twilight in a hurry?

Back inside, Twilight walked through the hallways and headed for the band room to meet up with the girls. She was greeted heavily by everyone with a warm welcome back which made her happy. She turned to a corner and saw the band room in the distance. Not only did she saw the room, but a certain Asian girl was leaning near it screaming at her phone.

"Multi-kill-kill-kill-kill.., Unstoppable.... Killing Spree... Rampage... Dominating... Mo-mo-mo-monster-kill-kill-kill-kill...." Gaige obnoxiously exclaimed while she recorded it with her phone.

Gaige soon noticed Twilight heading towards her. She then crossed her arms and glared at Twilight, who was confused by this. The pony princess stopped on her tracks and was about to greet Gaige until she stopped her.

"So, you must be Twilight?" Gaige said as she pretended to check her nails, "I heard you were a Princess."

"And you must be Gaige. Nice to meet you!" Twilight said as she extended her hand.

At first, Gaige hesitated but ended up shaking her hand.

"First off, what did you say to Brad?" Gaige asked instantly.

"Why does everyone call him that?" Twilight said, "I just wanted to talk to him this Sunday."

"Well Sunday is Christmas AND my Birthday," Gaige proclaimed coldly, "And why do you need to talk to him? Didn't you like reject him or something? Or do you even like him?"

Twilight blushed and began to chuckle.

"Yeaaahh.... I regret doing that," Twilight replied, "I really do, it made me really anxious after doing that."

"Oh then what's your objective then?" Gaige raised a brow.

"To fall inlove with Flash Sentry again."

Sunday came and it was now Christmas time. The colorful lights shined through the buildings and snow fell from the sky. Loud chatters came from the dozens of people walking on the streets of Canterlot.

Flash was standing near Hoofbucks and awaited for Twilight to appear. Likewise, Flash didn't know Twilight's intentions were. He remained calm and shook it off, hoping it was only something that friends would do. More importantly, Gaige was the one he liked, and not Twilight anymore.

As he was looking around, he saw a familiar English boy sitting alone drinking tea with a bag on his table. Flash approached the boy and stood infront of him.

"Yo Neon, what are you doing here of all places? Are you lost again?" Flash said, "Do you want me to take you to a bus stop?"

"I'm going to kill you seriously. I'm just waiting for someone," Neon said as he was checking his phone, "Now go away, don't bother coming over here, you wanker."

Flash sat on the other end of the table, which annoyed Neon.

"DON'T JUST SIT DOWN!" Neon exclaimed.

"Come on, don't say it that way," Flash chuckled, "If possible, I rather not get mad over something like this, even though I hate you."

"That's my line." Neon replied in annoyance.

"By the way Neon, do you know what Christmas is?" Flash asked with a smirk.

Neon raised a brow and looked at Flash.

"I'm looking forward to what Gaige has in store for me, I mean I'll take anything especially if it's from Gaige!" Flash snickered.

Neon smiled as he opened his bag and turned it upside down. Coming out of it were presents of different colors. Flash's jaw dropped as Neon gave out a sadistic smirk towards him.

"Eh? Christmas? What about it?" Neon said sarcastically.

"T-THOSE ARE FOR YOU?! YOU GOT ALL OF THOSE?!" Flash exclaimed in disbelief.

"I guess so, every year I get around ten," Neon said, "Getting another seven later today."

"GAH! I FEEL SO VEXED!" Flash said as he stood up and started walking away.

"You're a hundred years too early to speak with me about Christmas," Neon grinned, "So you're on your way to get your gift from Gaige then?"

Flash stopped and turned to Neon with a serious look.

"Twilight called me out."

Gaige stood in shook as she looked at the blushing Twilight infront of her. She was surprised that Twilight actually still likes Flash, even if Gaige herself was the one that Flash liked, or so she thought. She looked at the pony princess in disbelief and thought that Twilight had already moved on.

"That's a joke right?" Gaige laughed, "Please tell me that's a joke."

"Uh no I'm serious," Twilight responded nervously, "I'm also thinking of giving him a present for Hearts Warm- I mean Christmas."

Gaige's eye twitched as she slowly backed away.

"I really do LIKE him!" Twilight exclaimed in embarrassment, "I wish the Fall Formal never happened!"

Gaige stood silently as she stared at Twilight's blushing face. She then looked away and pouted.

"I see." Gaige said, hiding the fact that she's jealous.

At the Mix's residence, a black chevrolet rolled down the sidewalk and parked infront of the house. Coming out of the car was a thirteen year old boy who had long black hair that covered half of his face, whitish gray skin and wore gothic clothing. He had an emotionless expression and had a guitar on his back.

"Mom, I'm heading in first." The boy said in a low and emotionless tone.

"Okay Scree Mo, behave yourself!" A feminine voice called out inside the car, "We'll catch up."

The boy walked towards the door and entered the house. Inside, he saw the indoor was well decorated by Christmas ornaments and birthday decorations. Oddly enough, the place was empty and even the maids and butlers were absent. He made his way to the kitchen and saw a spaced out Gaige hanging some streamers on the wall. He stared at her blankly as he sat on the dining table and watched her.

"I see that you're decorating your own party again." Scree Mo said.

Gaige turned around and gave out a big smile when she saw Scree Mo. She jumped down from the ladder she was on and ran to Scree Mo to hug him. The boy simply sat motionless and emotionless as Gaige began to tightly embrace him and pinch his cheeks.

"Good to see my cute ass favorite cousin again!" Gaige exclaimed in delight, "By the way, Merry Christmas you emo bastard!"

"You got some black licorice? It reminds me of me because nobody likes me." Scree Mo said.

"Aww you're still adorable as ever!"

Gaige let go of Scree Mo and went back to decorating. Scree Mo let out a sigh and walked up to Gaige.

"Gaige, let me help you." Scree Mo insisted.

"Shouldn't you be working on your poetry?" Gaige asked.

"No need, it's not like you care."

"Great! Hang these for me, I need to go prep Death Trap."

Gaige gave Scree Mo the streamers and let out a big sigh. However, Scree Mo could tell that something was bothering her. As he was about to ask her what was wrong, he then remembered something that he should tell to Gaige.

"By the way, Aunt Sakura called earlier and-"

"AAAAAAARGH!!!"

Scree Mo was startled as he saw Gaige with an annoyed look. She began to breath heavily, which frightened Scree Mo even more.

"What's the matter?" Scree Mo asked.

"N-Nothing."

Gaige headed to their backyard and spawned Death Trap on the grass. She went back inside to get her tools and returned back to the hovering legless torso. She took a crowbar and a wrench and opened up his power supply. While she did work on Death Trap, she wondered what Flash was going to say to Twilight, who was meeting her today. She wanted to know so badly. What Flash is getting is a clump of kindness from Twilight, and there was no way he wouldn't be happy.

"He's the guy who said he liked me just because I gave him a hand on his social life," Gaige said to Death Trap (Even if he was a robot), "If he found out about Twilight's intentions.."

With that said, Gaige imagined Flash holding both her and Twilight with a big smile on his face. Gaige's eye twitched as she imagined this and her expression quickly turned into a ferocious tiger.

"IS HE AN IDIOT?!" Gaige shouted as she began to rapidly punch Death Trap's metal parts, "HE WOULD DO SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT?! BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA!"

Gaige began fell on her back and started to roll around in frustration. She then rolled to a pole which had laundry hanging on it, which knocked a bed sheet that was supposedly for her Aunt Sakura. The sheet got to Gaige and soon she was wrapped around it. She soon calmed down and sat on her knees, thinking of what's bound to happen.

"Either way, there's nothing I can do now." Gaige said in a low tone.

Gaige stood up and carefully folded the sheet. She then headed for the gazebo that was near the house and placed the sheet on the table in it. Once again, the image of Flash and Twilight together was stuck in her head. Gaige placed her head on the sheet and began to wonder about it.

"Jealousy is such a bother, no wonder I avoided romance during my time in Kyoto," Gaige said to herself, "Even if I mull over it, there's nothing I can do about it!"

What a horrible feeling she was experiencing. Anxiety and sadness all together. She began to question herself if it was the feeling of love she was feeling. Going back to that contact with Twilight, she realized how Twilight seemed to sparkle when she proclaimed her love for Flash.

Again, a mental image of Flash asking out Twilight came to her mind. Her eye twitched once more as she grabbed the sheet and rolled around with it inside the gazebo.

"EVEN THOUGH HE ASKED ME OUT FIRST!" Gaige exclaimed as her face turned red, "LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR BAKA BAKA BAKA!"

While Gaige was rolling around wrapped inside a bed sheet, Scree Mo unexpectedly walked to the scene and blankly stared at Gaige. The girl simply let out half a smile and looked at Scree Mo.

"Gaige, what are you doing?" The gothic boy asked.

"Scree Mo welcome back!" Gaige greeted, "Could you help me out? I can't seem to get out of this now."

Scree Mo nodded and went to Gaige to help her. Scree Mo unwrapped Gaige from her bindings and noticed that the sheet was for a bed. He raised a brow and looked at his cousin.

"Why do you have a blanket ready? Don't you have like fifty guest rooms inside?" Scree Mo asked.

"That's for Aunt Sakura," Gaige said as she stood up, "Since it's been a long time since I've seen her and she's coming to celebrate my birthday and Christmas, I want her to take her time and relax a bit here."

Scree Mo sighed as he placed the sheet on the table.

"Um Gaige, of all times, this is more difficult than usual for me to say so, but Aunt Sakura said that since she's caught up in work, she can't come today."

At Canterlot Park, an uneasy and nervous Twilight walked on the pathway as she carried around a circle shaped present wrapped in blue wrappings. She was either shivering from the cold snow or from embarrassment. As she walked, she thought worst possible outcomes of when she gives her gift to Flash and importantly, her confession to him.

"No matter what happens, I have to hang in there. I'll be sure to say something first," She said to herself, "If I can't give these to him today, I probably won't be able to do it for the rest of my life!"

After a few minutes of walking, Twilight saw Flash sitting on a bench in the distance. Her face instantly turned red and soon she hid herself in a bush near Flash. Her heart began to beat fast because of how surprised she was that he actually came.

"W-What should I do?! He looks really cool!" Twilight thought, "It's still not the time we agreed to meet yet, so I'll just stay here and watch for a bit-"

"Oh! It really is you Twilight! Merry Christmas!"

As Twilight stuck her head out of the bush, she was faced to faced with a smiling Flash infront of her. Twilight jumped out of the bush in surprise and made her face all red.

"WAH! You surprised me!" Twilight said in a nervous tone, "Also Happy Hearts and- I mean, M-Merry Christmas!"

"I saw you in the corner of my eye for a moment!" Flash said.

"T-That's amazing! Your eyes are sharp Flash!"

Twilight fixed herself and approached Flash slowly. She still couldn't bring herself to look at him and looked down on the ground while Flash was looking at a hotdog vendor in the distance.

"S-Sorry for calling you out here today," Twilight said awkwardly, "Umm... T-That is... I wanted to give you some-"

"Wait sorry, can I go buy something to eat first? I'm starving."

Twilight nodded and the two went to buy something eat. Flash ordered two chili dogs and handed one to Twilight. The two went back to the bench and Flash started to eat while Twilight watched him.

*THUMP THUMP THUMP*

"Wow, Flash is actually eating! And he takes really big bites," Twilight thought as she looked away from him ,"I'm so nervous... What could be this flavoring?"

Out of curiosity, Twilight took a big bite on the hot dog. She felt the warm and cheesy sensation coming from the food but soon realize the spicy hot flavoring. She began to tear up and soon spat out the food from her mouth.

"I-IT'S SO SPICY! WHAT THE HECK IS IN THIS?!"

"Tabasco, mustard and chili sauce!" Flash smiled.

"What an incredible flavor!"

"So Twilight, what did you want anyway?"

*BADUMP!*

Twilight began to sweat and blush once more as she shivered nervously. She looked away from Flash and rubbed the back of her head.

"Oh, I'm s-sorry! Did you have something to do today?" Twilight asked nervously, "I'll finish quickly.."

"Don't worry about it. It just so happened I wanted to ask some advice from you myself." Flash responded while he took a bite of his hotdog.

Twilight looked at Flash in surprise.

"Y-YOU WANTED TO ASK FOR ADVICE FROM ME?! ABOUT WHAT?!" Twilight exclaimed in shock.

"About giving my lovey dovey Asian Empress Gaige a birthday-Christmas present!" Flash replied with a gleeful smile.

After hearing what Flash had to say, Twilight looked away from Flash and covered her face. She soon realized that the girl she met a few days back was the one that Flash was interested in, and not her anymore. Instantly she became defeated and depressed by this, and soon regret coming to the human world just to see Flash.

"Damn it, if only I just gave the gift to him quickly," Twilight thought as tears came out of her eyes, "That kind of development wasn't in my predictions at all.."

Twilight sighed and wiped the tears out of her eyes. She looked at Flash once more and pretended to be calm."

"Sorry Flash, I don't think I can jump to help you there." Twilight said in a low tone.

"Why?" Flash asked as he finished up the hotdog he was eating.

"I'm fairly sure that Gaige definitely wants you to pick out her gift," Twilight continued with a discreet saddened tone as she wore a fake warm smile, "She'd definitely be happy with whatever gift you pick."

Flash raised a brow.

"Is that so?" He asked.

"Yup!" Twilight smiled.

"I SEE!"

"Finding a present for a girl is so hard!"

After a few hours of walking around the mall, a tired Twilight followed a gleeful Flash as the two walked passed a few shops. Flash couldn't decide what to give to Gaige and dragged Twilight along.

"For dad, I just bought him alcohol! All he did though, was tell me to take it away. He didn't even bother to touch it," Flash laughed, "Then some guy wearing a suit named Curtis came and drank all of it by himself."

"I am so tired..." Twilight said in a low tone as she breathed heavily.

"Come to think of it, what did you need from me anyway?"

"Eh? Um, today's no good... It wasn't much." Twilight responded slowly.

Twilight was saddened because it seemed like she won't be able to find the right timing of confessing her love for Flash. She let out a sigh as Flash walked towards her with a concerned look.

"Twilight, if you have something on your mind, why not just say it? Gaige always tells me nothing but her demands and desires, so I can understand them, but when it comes down to most times, I think you don't really say what you want," Flash said as he crossed his arms, "Although I want to become like Sunset's new attitude in this regard, it's still really difficult for me."

Twilight stood silently and raised a brow.

"If you keep hanging your head, you won't be able to feel happy!" Flash said with a big smile.

"Huh?! MY head was hanging?!" Twilight said nervously as her face began to turn red again.

"Yup! you always have been looking down from the moment I met you," Flash continued, "And you're always sort of gloomy."

Twilight became shocked of this and soon realized why Flash always cheered her on. During the Fall Formal and the Battle of the Bands, he has been so nice to her. Even though he was a bit scary sometimes, there were times that he was really sweet towards her and in her view, he really was a nice person. Even if he was a strange kind of guy, he tries so hard.

"At first, I thought you were looking at an ant trail you know, but if I told Gaige that, she'd say there's no way anyone would do that."

Twilight noticed how straightforward he was when it comes to matters concerning Gaige. Twilight smiled and let go of the depression she had, hopefully she could move on and accept what she has now.

"A present; should be something you want to give, but it should be something Gaige would like." Twilight explained in a warm voice.

"Huh?"

"If she were to receive something like that, I can imagine Gaige would be happy."

Hearing what Twilight had to say, an idea sparked into Flash's mind. He looked at the time and became worried. He turned to Twilight for the very last time with a gleeful smile.

"Perfect! I thought of something good!" Flash exclaimed in delight, "Alright! I'm going to go buy it!"

Twilight let out a defeated yet warm smile to Flash.

"Flash, I like you." She said to him.

However, Flash did not know what she meant when she said that and only took it for a friendly gesture towards each other. Flash smiled at her as the girl did as well. Twilight approached him and then gave the present to him.

"Here's some Equestrian chocolates, Merry Christmas," Twilight said, "Please try your best."

Back in Kyoto, an eleven year old Gaige knelt infront the Japanese table as she did her homework. She began to rub her chin, finding it difficult to solve math. Coming out of the kitchen was her Aunt Sakura who was holding a tray of lemonade and rice balls. Her Aunt had pink hair, light yellow skin and had magenta eyes. She had a worried expression as she looked at Gaige and knelt beside her.

However, the child could see through her and saw the worry she had instantly.

"What's wrong Aunt Sak?" Gaige asked with a brow raised.

Aunt Sakura sighed.

"I just got off the phone, your family said that they're not coming to Kyoto this weekend." Her Aunt explained.

"I see, I was going to ask her to teach me the things I didn't understand in my homework." Gaige sighed.

"Hmm? Where? Let me help."

"Is it really impossible?"

It was now late at night and Gaige came out of the bathroom and overheard her Aunt talking to the phone. She became curious by this and decided to eavesdrop on her. She hid in another room and listened to her.

"Sis, don't you remember that it was terrible for her last parent visitation day? I had to pretend I was the mother," Sakura said as she talked to Gaige's mother, Moxi, "Although she doesn't say anything about it, she does feel lonely you know."

*FLUSH!*

The now thirteen year old Gaige came out of the bathroom with a gloomy look on her face. She held her abdomen with both of her hands and her whole skin looked pale. She felt the throbbing inside her abdomen and crouched in pain.

"This.. Day has finally come.." Gaige said in a weak voice, "I-It's nothing.... C-Calm down, calm down, this is probably normal, right?"

Gaige headed to her room and lied on her bed. The uneasy feeling was still there which made her hard to concentrate. She stood up and went to her bookcase. She scrolled through every book about science and found nothing. She then found a book from the clinic that her Aunt worked.

First Menstruation. Every Month. Period. Secondary sex characteristic. An adult's body. For now until forever. Those were the words that Gaige read that concerned her situation. She grew nervous and frightened about this as she crouched in pain once more. She looked at her phone and an idea sparked in her mind.

"I... Should call Mom... No wait... Bad idea..." Gaige groaned in pain, "I'm not scared. I'm not scared. This isn't embarrassing..... I'm afraid..."

"Gaige, why are there beans and monchi in the rice." Sakura asked.

Gaige knelt on the other side of the table and glared at her Aunt. Sakura became uneasy by this and questioned Gaige, who was looking pale and acted differently than usual.

"Gaige wha-"

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?!" Gaige interrupted with an angered voice.

"Are you okay?"

Gaige sat silently while Sakura easily found out what was going on.

"I see, it's the time of the month..."

Sakura sat near the window and watched the trees and it's leaves flow through the wind. From there, she saw Gaige coming back from her middle school and ran inside. Gaige came rushing to her Aunt holding a pamphlet with a gleeful smile.

"Aunt Sakura, I'm going to apply to this high school next year." Gaige said.

"Hmm? Shouyou? I don't mind but, with your abilities you could get into a better school," Sakura said, "I mean you could enter that one school who offers scholarships to young inventors like you."

"Yeah, but this one is the closest, and if it's studying for a university I could easily do it myself. Piece of cake."

"Have you talked about this with mom?"

"I'll tell her."

Sakura smiled as she gave the pamphlet back to Gaige.

"Did you decide this all by yourself? You sure are remarkably impressive," She said, "But, you don't have to be that impressive."

Gaige looked at her Aunt and raised a brow.

"Well, what I'm saying is, don't force yourself when it comes to studying or what you like doing best." Sakura continued.

"I'm not forcing myself," Gaige replied, "My plan was to choose the best high school which would have the best environment for me to study."

"That's not what I intended for you to think about," Sakura responded, "What I want to teach you one day.. Is the joy of sharing."

Gaige processed what she said and went to her room. From there on, she could not focus on doing anything rather than thinking over what her Aunt just said to her.

"Even if you didn't do so, I already knew. I had known how to make myself happy, how to erase my anxieties, how to deal in times of trouble, and how to put up with sadness..."

The whole Mix's residence was crowded by people and their loud chatters. On the center of the living room was a gigantic Christmas Tree and below it was Gaige sitting on the floor with Scree Mo. This time, instead of her usual clothing, she wore a red winter dress for the occasion. She watched her family members bond together and celebrating both her birthday and Christmas. But somehow, she didn't feel like socializing with the family and stayed with Scree Mo, who was forced to be with her.

She then saw two elderly people approaching her with one of them carrying a gift. The old woman had black hair that was graying, light orange skin, and was wearing a violet business attire and black sunglasses. The elderly man had white hair, pale gray skin and was wearing a golf attire. The two were known as Grandma Mix and Grandpa Mix, Gaige's grandparents and Rift's parents. The two stood infront of Gaige and Scree Mo as Grandma Mix clapped slowly.

"Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday pumpkin." Grandma Mix said in her gruffy voice.

"Thanks Granmama." Gaige responded with a smile.

"Wow, Gaige is already eighteen? I'm so deeply moved," Grandpa Mix added, "We got you this by the way."

Grandpa Mix then gave the present to Gaige. The girl gave out a warm smile and placed the gift under the tree. The two elderly then departed and went somewhere else in the house. Scree Mo stayed silent as he saw that Gaige was still down because of Sakura not coming. He was guilty of not telling Gaige any sooner and let out a sigh.

"Gaige I'm sorry for keeping quiet about Aunt Sakura till recently.." Scree Mo said in his emotionless tone.

"Aww, you don't have to be sorry about it," Gaige chuckled as she rubbed Scree Mo's head, "How about I make you those special Gaige cupcakes that you like tomorrow?"

"It's not like anyone wants to make food for-"

"Don't be silly Scree Mo! I'll make you as happy as Treble giving his gift to Soul!"

In the Writer's residence, Soul was at his room with Sunset as the two made out. It was the perfect gift for the two of them to be together until suddenly, the doorbell rang. Soul ignored this and continued to have a passionate kiss with Sunset. Once again, the doorbell began to ring rapidly and no one answered. Annoyed, Soul stopped fondling Sunset and went to the door. He opened it and saw Treble wearing a Santa hat with a big smile and was holding a big box. He held the box in his pelvic level and made Soul question it.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Soul asked suspiciously.

"It's a present, for you." Treble said.

"Did you watch the 'Dick in the box' video?"

"Yeah."

"Is your dick in the box?"

"No."

"Could you extend your arms and give me the box?"

"Just open the box, bro."

The suspicious Soul slowly opened the box and saw a Chewbecca plushie inside. He took it out and began to hug it, for he was a hardcore Star Wars fan. He became delighted by this while Treble began to cackle.

"Aww, thanks Treb- WHAT THE F*CK."

Soul saw Treble had no clothes on and the box was covering his pelvic region. He began to scream like a little girl as Treble ran after him inside his house.

Thanks to her family, Gaige has become very calm and collected. But due to her Aunt Sakura not coming to her most important day of the year, she has fallen incredibly sad. The one person she wanted to see did not come to her birthday, the one person who raised her in Kyoto.

Gaige walked around her home greeting everyone a happy Christmas. Still, she had to maintain hiding her sadness. As she was talking to one of her relatives, she heard a loud thud that came from her room. She hurriedly ran to her room to see what it was, only to find Flash lying on the floor rubbing his head, presumably from falling from the open window of the room.

"Flash? What are you doing here?!" Gaige asked in surprise.

Flash smiled as he stood up.

"I've come to give you a present! I had to climb the window because the entrance was crowded." Flash laughed.

"HEH?!"

"Happy Birthday Gaige." Flash greeted with a warm smile.

*THUMP*

From that greeting, her worries disappeared in an instant. Her chest became warm due to Flash's presence. Her cheeks began to turn red as Gaige let out a relieved smile... For she was happy. So happy.

Flash then took out a gift from his pocket. It was shaped and wrapped in an oddly fashion and gave it to Gaige. She became curious by this and asked if she could open it, which Flash agreed to. Without hesitation, she unwrapped it and revealed to be a high grade red wrench. She began to feel weird and happy at the same time as she looked at Flash.

"It's wonderful! I didn't think I'd get something so practical from you Brad!" Gaige said in glee.

"I thought it suited you perfectly!" Flash smiled, "And it's the same one that was at Grandma's house before she died, but then I tossed it to a lake and have always regretted it since."

"I-I see... When you say it like that, the gift feels very f*cking serious," Gaige continued, "Thank you, I'll treasure it."

Gaige pouted and hugged the wrench as she looked at Flash, who raised a brow in confusion. Unknown to her, her face was flustered due to Flash actually came for her. She didn't know what to do because she felt too happy.

"I'll really treasure it!" Gaige said nervously as she looked away, "Oh, that's right, I also got you a present. M-Merry Christmas!"

Gaige dug around her closet and took out a wrapped box. She then gave it to Flash, which made him happy.

"Oh! Present from Gaige!" Flash said as he received the gift.

"P-P-Present from G-G-Gaige." Gaige pouted as her heart began to accelerate, "Why do I feel embarrassed? Even though I hang out with this douche twenty four seven!"

"Present from Gaige!"

"....Present from Gaige." Gaige said in a low tone, "But he looks happy..."

"I GOT A PRESENT FROM TWILIGHT TOO!" Flash said as he held up the gift from Twilight, "I'm really happy!"

"THEN I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE MINE!" Gaige exclaimed in irritation as she swiped her gift from Flash.

Flash became alarmed by this and got worried.

"Did she say anything to you?" Flash asked nervously.

Gaige remained silent as the boy rubbed his chin.

"Could it be that Twilight likes me again?" He asked himself

Gaige's eye twitched and glared at Flash.

"Hm? Like you again?" Gaige said as she raised a brow and crossed her arms.

"Since when a girl gives you a gift on Christmas, it's a sign of affection right? But then when she gave it to me, she told me to try my best," Flash explained, "After that I thought of what to give you as your present, but..."

"Why the hell would she say try your best if she likes you? Maybe when she's telling you to work hard, she's talking about you as being Brad as usual." Gaige coldly said.

"Maybe it's that, if you put it that way it makes sense," Flash continued, "Oh well, I'll ask her when I see her again.

"Damn it, he hasn't paid any attention to my vie for affection?" Gaige thought.

Suddenly, the door behind them slowly opened. The two looked behind and saw Rift peeping through the door with a surprised look.

"UM.. GAIGE WE'RE ABOUT TO START THE PARTY!"

After a while, Gaige and Flash went down to the living room and joined the party. From there, her relatives began to catch their attention and began to think Gaige and Flash were together. Flash simply smiled at the guests while Gaige felt embarrassed by this. What made it even way worse was when they ran into Grandma and Grandpa Mix.

"Oh who's this hot motherf*cker?" Grandma Mix purred, "Is this your boyfriend who's a let down?"

"GRANDMA!" Gaige blushed.

"WHAT!" Rift shouted as he overheard the conversation and joined in.

"I'm actually her friend, miss." Flash said as he rubbed the back of his head.

Grandma Mix patted Flash on the shoulder.

"...I wish you were my husband." She whispered, which made Flash cringe.

"Flash take off your coat, I'll go hang it up.." Gaige said in embarrassment.

Flash proceeded to do so and Gaige left him with her grandparents and her dad. He began to look around and saw the people around him mingling with each other. He felt the positive aura of the holidays and made him happy.

"When she said party, I thought it was just gonna be her and her family, and not the whole clan! This is surprisingly high class!" Flash said excitedly, "Are you sure I'm allowed to be here?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER, BEFORE I SAID YOU COULD, YOU ALREADY CAME IN SCUMBAG!" Rift shouted.

"What's your name Sonny?" Grandma Mix asked.

"Flash-"

"Don't care. Doesn't your family celebrate Christmas together?"

"Well, not as a family. Dad's always busy with work and my brother is busy studying somewhere else. I only have my mother at the moment," Flash explained, "The only thing we celebrated was my Grandma's death anniversary!"

"WHY DO YOU LOOK SO HAPPY WHEN YOU'RE F*CKING SAYING THAT?!" Rift shouted, "YOU SIR HAS A COMPLICATED FAMILY!"

Somewhere near, Gaige hung Flash's coat and overheard what they were conversing. It was rare for Flash to talk about his family, and she thought he might be in a good mood today. She hurriedly went back to the group and saw Flash with a scared and angered expression while he was holding Scree Mo by his leg.

"LOOK GAIGE! I CAUGHT A GHOST!" Flash exclaimed in fear.

"You're right, I'm a ghost.. Because I don't exist." Scree Mo said.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY COUSIN SCREE MO?!" Gaige shouted.

"Oh, this is your cousin? The name is Flash Sentry."

"SCREE MO SAY HI!" Gaige said.

"Nice to meet you..." Scree Mo greeted.

Flash turned to Gaige and laughed.

"He reminds me of your cold side!" Flash laughed.

"BAKA! He's a good kid! He's just shy!" Gaige exclaimed.

"Roses are red, violets are red, tulips are red, bushes are red, trees are red, I set your garden on fire." Scree Mo recited.

Gaige sighed while Flash put Scree Mo down. Yet, she felt happy Flash was there. All her sadness from her Aunt not coming disappeared. She went to Flash and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you came Flash." Gaige said with a warm smile.

Flash let out a smile and felt the throbbing sensation on his chest. In excitement, he flipped Gaige's skirt up and saw her woolen panties that hat cat heads on it. Gaige's face turned full red and covered herself as she turned to Flash with an annoyed and embarrassed look.

"HAHAHA! WOOLEN PANTIES!" Flash laughed.

"BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA! ARE YOU AN IDIOT?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Gaige exclaimed in embarrassment.

"DON'T DO THAT KIND OF THING INFRONT OF THE FATHER!" Rift shouted, "HEY! GAIGE SOUNDS JUST LIKE ME WHEN SHE SHOUTS! WAY TO GO NUTS AND BOLTS!"

"DAAAD!!!!!"

Gaige then celebrated her birthday and Christmas with Flash. The boy mingled with everyone in her family including her mom, Moxi. Unknown to Flash, Gaige actually enjoyed his company and forgot about Sakura not coming. She was too happy for her to feel sad. Her chest had a burning sensation that she could not explain.

After a while, it was already late and everyone had left while the others including Scree Mo decided to stay for the night. Flash headed outside the house and sat on the doorstep, processing the enjoyment he had. As he was about to leave, Gaige came out of the door and stopped him.

"Flash, wait a moment, I'm heading to the convenience store." Gaige said as she went back inside to get her jacket.

As Flash waited, he wore a red scarf that wasn't his, but didn't mind. He whistled in the night and was soon joined by Scree Mo, who got out of the window near him. Flash greeted Scree Mo as the boy looked at him plainly. Scree Mo then took out a brown scarf from his jacket, which was the one Flash owned.

"You forgot your scarf dude." Scree Mo said.

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to steal this then," Flash said as he took off the red scarf, "I have to give this back?"

"It's fine, you can have it."

"You sure?"

"That... Was bought by Gaige.. For Aunt Sakura."

Flash raised a brow.

"Aunt Sakura? Wasn't she the lady that took care of Gaige when she was in Kyoto?" Flash asked.

"Correct. When I told her that she was not coming, she said 'There's no big deal, there's no helping it, you can't get mad' while hugging me tightly."

Flash stood in silence as he recognized what was happening. Scree Mo shrugged as he headed back inside, but stopped on the doorstep and looked at Flash once more.

"She probably was really disappointed today.. So I'm glad you came... Even though its you," Scree Mo said, "Well, goodnight."

Flash and Gaige walked the silent streets of Canterlot and headed towards the convenience store. Gaige wore pink earmuffs and a red jacket. It was already late and there were no longer carolers and people around. Yet, the Christmas lights shined through the night and the snow fell. It was a peaceful scene for them as they chatted.

"It's been a damn year huh Brad?" Gaige said, "Like holy f*cking sh*t, it feels like yesterday that I moved here and met all of you guys."

"I'm glad you're happy with the new environment you're in." Flash smiled.

"Oh man I can't even explain how happy I am today!"

Flash stopped as he saw through the lie. He chuckled and took out his phone. Gaige looked at him confusingly as he got infront of Gaige.

"I wanted to meet your aunt," Flash said, "Should we try calling her?"

Gaige looked at him in annoyance as she crossed her arms.

"I'm sorry, but the number one person I don't want Aunt Sakura to meet is you." She said.

"Whoa whoa whoa, not me! The one calling her would be you!" Flash explained, "You know her number right?"

Gaige sighed.

"I know the number, but I really shouldn't call.. There's nothing to be said." Gaige replied.

"There is!" Flash said as he leaned to Gaige (Because she was small), "It's your birthday! The person you wanted today most wasn't me... It was your Aunt right?"

Gaige's mouth opened and was surprised at what Flash said. It was the first time she heard something non brutal from Flash as the boy let out a warm smile to her. Flash took out his phone and handed it to Gaige.

"I'm here for you, so try calling her," Flash said warmly, "Just have her say 'Happy Birthday' to you."

With that said, Gaige swiped the phone from him and quickly dialed her Aunt's number. Her chest began to throb nervously while the phone dialed. Why was she even doing this? It was her first time to call her for something like this. She thought of what she was going to say to her once it calls up. At a time like this, she was probably busy with her work, making it look like it was impossible for Gaige. Millions of things ran into her mind until she looked beside her and saw Flash. All her worries disappeared, and she felt calm because she wasn't alone this time.. She had Flash.

Gaige grabbed Flash's arm and held it tighty.

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING-CLICK*

"Hello?"

"Aunt Sakura?! This is Gaige..." Gaige responded nervously to the womanly voice coming from the phone.

"Gaige? This is rare, who's phone is this?"

"..This is my friend's phone...."

"A friend? I see... Well whatcha need pumpkin?"

"OH... UM..... T-Today's my b-b-b-birthday..."

"Oh, was it? I'm sorry."

"No it's okay-"

"I'm sorry I couldn't come, also I'm busy right now I'll call you back an hour later. I will finish work by then."

Gaige did not care what her Aunt was saying. She was happy that she finally heard her voice, the voice she missed for months since she left Kyoto. What made her even more joyous is when Sakura told her the words that Flash said to her; Happy Birthday. The call then ended and Gaige handed the phone back to Flash.

"So.. How was it?" Flash asked.

"She said she'd call back in an hour so we can talk.." Gaige said, who then let out a giggle, "Haha, I was really nervous!"

Flash smiled at her.

"Gaige, isn't that great?"

*THUMP*

Gaige quickly looked away and avoided Flash's smile. She positioned her ear muffs back in place and began to leave.

"A-Alright, I have to go home and prepare! T-Thanks for the phone!" Gaige said nervously.

"Okay, see you tomorrow Gaigie!" Flash said as he watched Gaige depart.

The two then departed and went their separate ways. Gaige walked home and kept on imagining Flash smiling. She was very surprised of how happy Flash was, it was like he was smiling for himself. But somehow, she still felt uneasy and remembered her gift for Flash. She stopped walking and then ran the other direction to find Flash.

Meanwhile, Flash walked home and whistled. Like Gaige, the mental image of her holding onto him was stuck on his head. He let out a smile and began to chuckle. Suddenly, he then heard loud steps coming behind him. He looked back and saw Gaige lunging to her.

"BRAD!" Gaige shouted as he grabbed Flash by the back.

"W-WHAT IS IT?!" Flash said in shock.

Gaige took out her gift and gave it to Flash.

"PRESENT FROM GAIGE!" Gaige shouted.

"O-Okay?!"

Gaige wasn't stopping there. Gaige grabbed Flash's collar and pulled him. She was going all out. She had to show Flash that she was meant for her. She wanted to show her affection towards the boy she was with... To the boy that changed her forever.

"AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND!!" Gaige shouted as she began to run away.

As Gaige disappeared in the distance, Flash stood in silence as his chest began to thump rapidly. His mind took time to process this and realized that he, has found the love he was looking for. He has found the girl that has finally given him the warmth he was looking for. Suddenly, he smiled victoriously, jump excitedly and began to fist bump the air.

*THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP*

"In order to share the heat I feel in my body. I want to... Tell Flash of... This throbbing feeling that has been born within this heart.." Gaige thought to herself as she paced the streets of Canterlot, "The warmth... That he has given me.."

Gaige ran and ran as fast as she could. She could still feel the warmth and throbbing feeling in her chest. Her face was all flustered and hot, her limbs were numb and her mind was running in circles.

"My body is still burning.. If possible, I'd like to feel this burning sensation forever..." Gaige thought as she gave out a warm smile to herself, "This is one hell of a little big trouble for me... If I had to put a name to it... This has to be called love, right?"
