Shrimpo's POV:

I knock on the door. Again. Oh come on, SOMEONE has to be there right?? To my surprise Poppy opens the door.

"Ah, there you were! Come in!!" I enter and immediately notice EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS DECORATION- Oh my. There are candy canes, ribbons, even a mini Christmas tree!! How did she even get that- oh well. No presents, since this is just a decoration. "So uh... y'all wanna go?" Poppy asks. I turn around. Oh, there's Goob and Scraps. They're dressed in matching Christmas outfits. We all nod. Poppy turns to the door. "Let's go!" We walk across the toon rooms, decorated in a candy cane lane (it's a movie I just watched w/ my dad), lots of decorations, and so many peppermints and wreaths everywhere. Oh god, they really went all out this year, didn't they. We go down the elevator, the elevator humming Jingle Bells as it goes up. Oh god. If I listen to ONE MORE CHRISTMAS SONG- As soon as the elevator opens, the lobby is revealed with Mariah Carey. Well, guess I have to murder someone today. Probably a twisted. Where there usually sits the Gardenview tree, it's decorated with Christmas lights, ornaments, and lots of presents sit there underneath. I quickly place the small present I have for Goob underneath. Hope nobody was watching. I scamper back to the group.

"Is everyone ready for the gathering or...?" Scraps asks.

"Ready." I say. Goob and Poppy nod with me.

"Alright- hey, there's Vee!" She frantically waves over to her. As usual, Vee ignores her. We chase after her. "VEE!! Mind telling us where everyone is gathering?"

"Ugh- if you insist, over there." Vee points to where Rodger, Toodles, and Teagan are heading. Scraps smiles.

"Thanks!"

"Whatever." We walk toward the dining area to find it stuffed with food.

"Oh. My. God. This is amazing!!!" Poppy squeals.

"Look at those cookies..." Goob looks over to the heavily decorated Christmas cookies.

"Ookay... maybe we go for a less sweet option?" I suggest. Goob slumps down.

"Aww... okay..." He groans.

"Promise you'll get to eat a lot of cookies after this though? Sprout and Cosmo can help us make them." I tell him. He brightens up.

"Alright. LOOK AT THAT PUDDING!!!" Oh gosh maybe I have to babysit him this entire time after all. I drag him away from the sweet foods and begin to dine. Goob mostly eats sweet stuff, even though I try to make him focus on the actual dishes. Oh well. After we're done, it's present time.

"Okay," Dandy begins. He and Astro pull out a massive wheel. "We're gonna spin a wheel, and whoever it lands on gets to pick the first gift. That person needs to say who they gave it to, and we'll spin the wheel again until there's no presents left. Sound good?" Everyone murmurs in agreement. "So the first person picking is..." He spins the wheel. It slows down... and eventually lands on.. Sprout! (Btw I actually used a wheel to pick the person lol)

"Ooh boy, first pick! I'm gonna choose... this pink one!" He picks up a pink one. "From Poppy, to Brightney." He reads. Brightney steps up. She unboxes a red bow.

"Oh my gosh, this is adorable! Thanks, Poppy!!" Brightney thanks her. Brightney spins the wheel. Tisha!

"From Teagan, to Tisha." She reads. "Wow, what are the odds that I picked a present to myself?" Turns out Teagan gave Tisha a set of teacups. This goes on and on, and eventually Boxten picks my gift to Goob. It's my only gift, to anybody.

"From Shrimpo... to Goob." He nervously reads. He scampers off as Goob and I step up.

"Hope you like it." I mutter. He unboxes a ring. Not a wedding ring (you wish it was), but still a diamond ring. Goob holds it up like treasure.

"THIS IS AMAZING- AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!" Goob picks me up and twirls me.

"Hey- put me down!" I groan. I'm not used to people complimenting me... at least not that much. Nor am I used to showing my soft spot in public. I stand up and spin the wheel. Boxten again. I wasn't paying much attention now, but I do remember what gifts I got. I got a red bow tie from Poppy, a cable from Brightney, a chair from Boxten, bug spray from Connie, macarons from Razzle and Dazzle, and perfume from Glisten. And the best gift of them all, a card and a friendship bracelet with Goob. I don't really know how to explain it without being cheesy, but it just shows how much he loves me. I can practically see him making it with love. Yep, sounds cheesy. It was a great Christmas- but Dandy revealed something that everyone will never forget. He stood up on a ladder, pulled a string, and the entire ceiling became dedicated to mistletoes. Everyone gasped in awe.

"What are you waiting for?" Dandy chuckled. "Kiss your crush!!" I didn't expect it, though I should've. Goob kissed me, right there. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dandy and Astro making out, Scraps and Poppy, Cosmo and Sprout, and Shelly kissing Vee. It was a romance session.
