One week later...
"Guys tomorrow is Christmas and we haven't done anything!" I shouted from the bedroom while playing with Poppy.

"Wait what!?" Frank asked and I heard something hit the table. I put down Poppy's chew toy and rushed into the living room to see everyone laughing except for Frank who was in the floor by the table. "Shut up!" He exclaimed and sat up off the ground "Now tomorrow is Christmas!?"

"Yes, that's what she just said." Mikey chuckled.

"Okay so we need lights up, tree up, and presents! Ray, Gerard, Violet, and Hanna you guys go shopping! Jacob you put the tree up and Mikey you help me decorate outside!"

"Frank bu-" Gerard was cut off by Frank.

"Sh do what I say children." He said calmly. He simply stood up and walked outside, I'm assuming to the shed where all the leftover Christmas decorations are.

"What's Christmas?" Ray asked with a confused expression. I looked at him and softly shook my head as Mikey did his best to explain what Christmas is.

"What should we get the guys?" Hanna asked as I drove to the mall.

"I don't know...I don't even know what they like. I know Frank likes Misfits and Jacob likes Nirvana that's all I know about them."

"You've known them for what, almost two years and Jacob is your brother and you don't know anything they'll like!?"

"Nah." I smiled and drove into the mall's parking lot.

"Um, let's just walk around and see if we find anything?" She questioned.

"Sounds good to me." I replied as I pulled into a parking space. We got out and walked into the mall. Hanna and I split up and I started walking around alone. I looked around and saw a man with red hair in the jewelry store. Instantly I know it was Gerard and I decided I was going to scare him.

I crept into the store and stood behind Gerard when he was talking to the man behind the desk. When the man walked off into the backroom I jumped on Gerard's back. "Holy fuck!" He shouted making a few people's eyes advert to us.

"What'cha buying me?" I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck as he held onto my legs.

"Did you follow me in here?" He asked.

"Nah, I just saw you and wanted to scare you." I giggled.

"Well it worked," He replied and let go of my legs so I slid onto the floor "now you gotta go, I got things to buy."

"Fine." I pouted and crossed my arms.

"Love you." He chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"I guess I love you too." I sighed playfully.

"You're too cute, now bye." He smiled and waved his hand in dismissal.

"Yeah, yeah." I snickered and left the store. Once I left I immediately spotted a pet store. After pondering I came to the conclusion I was getting Gee a hamster. I walked in and went to the hamster section. I then spotted a gray hamster that looked a month old. Was I really about to get a hamster for Gerard? Yes I was.

After hours of shopping I was left with a hamster for Gerard, a Xbox 360 for Frank, a record player and Nirvana records for Jacob, a PlayStation for Ray, and lastly a laptop for Mikey so he can write all his fanfictions in it, plus I secretly bought the game Sims for him days before that because he kept bugging me about it. Oh! Wait I almost forgot! I also got Hanna some Nirvana and Green Day CDs. And I got Pete some Misfits and Nirvana CDs as well.

I parked the car in the driveway and exited with Hanna. I picked up the bags in the car and looked at the house. Colorful twinkling lights was wrapped the outer part of the roof, paper snowflakes was hanging in the window, and santa/snowmen figures were in the yard. "Wow they actually did good." Hanna said while carrying in the bags of gifts she got for the guys.

"Wow." I gasped as I entered the house. The tree was standing tall in the living room, lit up but no ornaments on it. Paper snowflakes hung on the ceiling, and even more decor.

"Is it good?" Frank asked while finishing up the last row of snowflakes.

"It's amazing." I smiled brightly.

"We left the ornaments alone." Mikey added.

"Thank you." I replied and sat down the guy's gift bags in my closet along with Gerard's hamster in his cage.

"Hello you jolly fuckers!" Pete shouted while entering the house.

"Hey Pete!" I shouted back and saw Gerard plus Ray holding bags frantically trying to find a place to find them

"Put them in here." I laughed while pointing towards my closet. They nodded and stuffed the bags in there.

I plopped on the couch and turned on Christmas music. I grabbed a ornament to see it was a picture ornament of my dad and I. I took a deep breath and hung it on the tree. A few minutes later 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' turned on. I then felt arms wrap around my waist. Suddenly Gerard started whisper singing the lyrics in my ear. I giggled softly and started singing along. By the end of the song everyone was practically screaming the lyrics while hanging ornaments.

"I love you princess." Gerard whispered and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I love you too Gee." I replied and played with his hair.
