Chapter Nine: Christmas Shopping
Snowflakes were slowly descending from the dark sky. People were wearing winter clothes as they rushed about, doing Christmas shopping. Christmas was about two weeks away.
(Y/N) had wanted to buy gifts for her family too, since they were going to visit, along with the Sons, Briefs, Z-Fighters, and practically everyone else. Even old old Master Roshii.
"Winter jackets, check. New watch, check," (Y/N) muttered to herself as she checked the items that she have bought for her parents.
"What's next, (Y/N)?" her grandpa asked.
He was accompanying her as he was afraid that she would go missing.
"It's time to buy some things for the Sons!" she answered cheerfully.
She was about to skip away merrily while holding her grandfather's hand when he stopped her by saying, "Are you referring to Goten in particular?"
Crimson blush appeared on her cheeks.
"W-what?" she stammered.
"Come on, be honest," he said, "I know you like him."
"We can't just stand here," (Y/N) said, garbbing his hand, "Let's go!"
As she skipped on with her grandfather, he thought to himself, That girl...

The duo came home with their hands full of shopping bags.
"Finally! We're home!" (Y/N) said with a sigh of relief as she placed the bags on the floor.
"Shall I make us a snack?" her grandfather asked.
"Yes please," she answered with a smile.
He placed the bags on the floor and headed to the kitchen.
"Grandpa, I'll go upstairs to wrap the gifts up," she said.
"Alright," he said back.
Slowly, she took the bags one by one up to her room.

Once she was in her room, she took out everything that she needed. Wrapping paper, ribbons, tape, pens and scissors. She took her dad's gift out: a new watch. It was placed in a box by the saleslady earlier. She wrapped it up quickly and tied it with a ribbon. She wrote a note there that read, "Merry Christmas Dad! - (Y/N)".
Next, she wrapped her mother's gift up: a winter jacket. She did the same thing with the gift and the note was still the same.
In no time, she wrapped up almost everyone's gift with the same note written neatly on it. She counted the number of wrapped gifts and noticed that she was short of one.
It was Goten's gift.
There was no way she could sneak out of the house to get a gift for him. Her grandfather was busy making their snack. The only option left was to make him a gift, but she had no idea what to do.
A thought struck her head. She opened the drawer and found an unused photo album. She had also found a few pictures that she had taken together with Goten for the last four years of their friendship together, and some of which included Trunks. She taped the pictures into the album carefully before adding captions and little doodles on each page. She decorated the cover of the album and also wrote a note there that read, "For Goten".
Quickly, she wrapped his gift up and wrote a different note on it that read, "Merry Christmas Goten! I made this specially for you! Love, (Y/N)".
She smiled as she picked his gift up and placed it into the shopping bag, along with the other gifts. Now, she could not wait for Christmas to arrive.
