Thanksgiving 2024-Charming Castle

November had flown by, The girls won their Swords&Sheilds competition, they were getting good grades, and life was pretty much going perfectly for the.

Red and Chloe sat side by side, Chad next to Chloe, across the table, were Maddox, Bridget, Ella, and Charming. They talked as they ate, mostly just about school or their extracurricular activities. In the center of the table was a huge turkey, with every side you could imagine. Bridget whispered something into Ella's ear, which made her smile as she looked at her daughter.

E-"So Chloe, what did you spend over 100 dollars on at Spencers?"

Chloe's eyes nearly popped out of her head. She stared at Red, who was the same color as her name, then looked back at her mom.

C-"Oh, just some clothes, nothing crazy."

Bridget was covering her mouth, trying not to laugh, Ella was smiling like crazy, Maddox, Chad, and Charming all looked confused.

E-"Honey, did you forget I can see your card statements..."

C-"Oh."

Bridget couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing, Red had started to laugh, too, despite the embarrassment, the three guys still looked confused, and Ella tried to remain composed.

E-"It's alright, you're old enough, just be safe."

C-"Thanks, mom."

B-"Im curious what was bought for who thought."

R-"Mother!"

Now Ella was laughing, Bridget tried to keep a straight face as she looked at Red, Chloe was horrified, and the guys were still confused.

B-"Im just playing around. You two should know all about that."

R-"MOM!"

Now Bridget and Ella were dying laughing together, while Red and Chloe just layed back in their chairs, excepting their fate, the three guys still confused but humored.

M-"Excuse me, but do we even want to know?"

He pointed at the other guys before Bridget looked over at him.

B-"I'll tell you later."

Red looked at her mom, then Maddox, then back at the mom.

R-"Do not."

B-"Oh come on, Red, he deserves to know."

M-"If the princess isn't ok with it, I don't need to know."

B-"Nonsense Maddox your apart of the family you should know."

M-"I insist."

B-"Alright, fine."

Maddox looked over at Red and smiled. She smiled back as they all went back to eating. The rest of the day was uneventful, and the night ended with a movie, and everyone fell asleep in the Charmings theater room.

Christmas Day 2024-Charming Castle

Red and Chloe sat in the massive living room of Charming Castle, Chad sat to their left, while Maddox, Bridget, Ella, and Charming all sat on the couch. The girls and Chad had spent the morning opening presents from each other, whule Red and Chloe had exchanged their own gifts the night before. Chad was thrilled over his new gaming system, while Chloe had gotten a brand new sword and uniform. Red hadn't gotten much, mostly because she hadn't expressed an interest in anything. Instead, she had mostly gotten money, but Maddox had given her a present.
