Weeks later after the plan. Lyric had sat down, eating a bag of chips. Ember frowns.
"I mean...we haven't seen Omar in a minute, how about we use that to our advantage?"
Lyric throws the bag of chips away.
"It's up to you, what do you want to do?" Lyric asks.
"I mean, it is Christmas...I'm up for anything." Ember says.
"I never celebrated Christmas." Lyric says.
"Woah...really?" Ember asks.
"You have?" Lyric asks. "What is it like?"
"Lyric, I love you to death but you have no damn life if you don't know how to celebrate Christmas." Ember says.
Lyric rolls her eyes.
"And I know you ate my bag of hot cheetos last night." Ember adds.
"No I didn't." Lyric says, shrugging and drinking her coffee.
"Damn liar." Ember mutters.
"Ember, when you were sleep you snored like a-"
"Big ass baby?" Ember finishes Lyric's words.
"I'll go buy you another bag if it bothers you that much."
"No, save your money." Ember says, sipping her soda.
The door knocks. Lyric runs over to the door and opens it to see Ace leaning against the doorframe.
"Grab your clothes." Ace says.
"Excuse me?" Lyric asks.
"You're not moping on Christmas Eve, and Colette suggests you dress warm."
"Ace I really don't feel-"
"You don't have to be there long, but Nathan hasn't seen you since you had got discharged from the hospital." Ace says.
Lyric sighs. "Alright."
Ember grins. "Can I come?"
"Yeah, sure." Lyric grins.
Minutes later Lyric wore a red parka over her jeans. Ember wore fishnet stockings with red shorts, with a green vest parka over it.
Lyric and Ace cut their eyes at her.
"Aye, what are you looking at?" Ember asks.
"You look like a elf stripper." Ace says.
Ember glares at him.
"Stop it Ace." Lyric growls.
"Yeah, listen to your future wife." Ember says.
They all get in Ace's car, then he drove them over to Nathan's.
They walk up to the door, Colette opens the door, pulling Lyric into a huge hug.
"Lyric!!! It's been so long!!" Colette squeals, rocking her back and forth.
"Hey Colette." Lyric grins softly.
Colette smiles as she looks at Ace.
"And who may you be?" She asks.
"Oh, a close friend." Ember says, trying to sound like a normal girl.
They all follow Colette inside. Lyric looks over to see the twins playing video games.
"Hey guys." Lyric says casually as she walks to the stairs.
"Hey Lyric." They both say in the perfect harmony.
