You're The Color In My World (bxb)

Chapter 11

'"So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
A new one just begun (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas"'

I smiled at the memory of the Christmas concert that had passed. I looked out the window as I waited patiently for Blu to come over. It was Christmas Eve, and we had decided to spend the day together with my family and, of course, alone.

I saw his car pull up and I grinned, hopping down the stairs. Right as he was about to knock, I opened the door. He smiled, his hand still slightly wavering in the air.

"Come on in." I moved to the side, so he could step in.

Blu had never been to my house before, and I chuckled as he wandered around it. We made it into the kitchen where my mother was cooking breakfast.

She turned around and smiled. "Hello boys," she greeted. "I just finished breakfast." She put the delicious smelling food on our plates, and set them down on the table.

"Thank you, Mrs. Ricci," Blu said, sitting down next to me.

"Please, call me Jessica," she smiled.

I glanced at Blu who smiled gratefully and nodded.

"What are we doing today?" Blu asked.

"Well as you can see, our Christmas tree hasn't been set up. So we have to do that as well as put the ornaments on it. We also have to go shopping for my mom. She's gonna be making a huge dinner even though it's Christmas Eve. Then after dinner, we're gonna open presents," I told him.

"You got me a present?" He asked.

"Of course," I said.

"Good because I got you one too," he smiled.

Once we finished breakfast, we headed down to the garage where the tree was. The both of us carried the box up and opened it, soon putting the parts together. Yeah, it was just fake. Next, the ornaments.

"Is this you?" Blu asked. I glanced over and saw that he was holding a picture that was inside a soft, fake flower. Tied to it was a piece of string, so you could hang it on the tree.

I blushed lightly. "Yeah," I said. The picture was of me in 1st grade.

"You were so cute," he chuckled which made me blush even more.
