001 (Mike Wheeler Stranger Things FF) *ON HOLD*

Mom separated the gifts on who's name was on what. "Alright, who's going first?" Mom asked. "ME!!" Dawn yelled. We all laughed and mom nodded. She opened the first gift. "Oh my god!!! The sneakers I've always wanted!!!" She gushed. 

After her, Jane went, then Suzie, then Mickey, then Me, then Mom. We all were surprised on the gifts and thanked everyone. "Alright, let's go to the fathers homes before we come back here to make some lunch" Mom said. We nodded and all went upstairs to get changed and get ready to go to the dad's houses. 

I changed into my outfits and put some nice makeup on. I grabbed my purse and put my phone, keys, and wallet in it before slinging it on my arm. I went back downstairs and everyone was waiting on the couch. "Let's take my car, so it can fit everyone" Mom said. We all went outside to her car and drove to Dave's house first. We rung the doorbell and waited for a response. Dave opened the door and instantly smiled when he saw Dawn. Dawn ran up to him and jumped into his arms. "Come on in" He told us while he held Dawn in his arms. 

We all walked inside and handed him a present. "Thank you guys so much" He said as he took it and set Dawn down on the couch next to him. He opened the present to see a teddy bear that Dawn picked out. "I picked it out for you" Dawn smiled at him. "Thank you so much baby girl" He smiled giving her a hug, followed by all of us. "I have a surprise for you too" He said. Dawn shot up in the air. "Follow me to the basement" He said. We all went to his basement where the surprise [the bike] was. "Alright Dawn, rip it open" He said. She ran up to it and attacked it.

"OH MY GOSH!!" She yelled when she got a glimpse of it. "What is it?" Mom asked. "THE BIKE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!!" She yelled. She ran up to Dave and hugged him tighter than ever. "Now in the summer you can come over here and i'll teach you how to ride" He smiled. "thank you so much daddy!!!" She yelled. Everyone laughed and enjoyed the sight. "Alright Dawn, we have to go see Richie. Say thank you for having us" Mom said. "Thank you daddy!!" Dawn said kissing Dave's cheek. "No problem honey. I'll see you soon" He smiled. We all walked back upstairs and back to the car to go to dad's house. We rung his door bell and waited for the door to open. After about a minute it opened.

"Sorry it took forever, I was downstairs" Dad said when he opened the door. "It's okay" Mom laughed. We all walked inside and Mickey handed him the present. It was a shirt that said "Breaking Dad" since he loves the show breaking bad. "Thank you guys so much!" He laughed and hugged us. He handed out us the presents he had under his tree. We all opened them and gave him a thank you hug. 

We stayed with him for a little bit before heading on back home. I'm surprised the dads didn't really acknowledge the twins, honestly. We closed the door on our way back inside and we all slipped our shoes off before sitting on the couches. "Alright so what do you guys want for lunch. We can either make our own pizza or we can make some chicken Alfredo and some ziti. What would you prefer?" Mom asked, "What ever one we don't have now, we'll have for dinner" 

We all looked at each other. "Let's have pizza, since we just had a big breakfast. Then we can have the chicken and ziti for dinner to stuff ourselves for the night" I laughed. Everyone agreed. "Okay, would someone mind getting the ingredients out of the fridge?" Mom asked. Suzie ran to the kitchen and Mickey pre-heated the oven. I went to my room to put my shoes and purse back and I noticed I had a message on my phone. 

From: Mike :)

Hey <3 I hope your Christmas is great! I would love to see you but I know it's a family day so I hope this little message will be enough :) Thank you again for the New Years invite, I can't wait to go to New York with you <3

I smiled. He's such a nerd I love it. All I can think of is that there's one one day till I get to see everyone again and spend almost a week with them all. All I need to get through is the rest of today and tomorrow. Then it will be Tuesday, a fun filled day!

To: Mike :)

It's really no problem about the invite, you don't have to say so many thanks. I really wish I could see you today but I know it's a family day. I hope your Christmas is going great. I'll see you soon <3

I went back downstairs and helped cook the pizza. The rest of the day we watched a lot of Christmas movies, sang to Christmas carols, made a lot of food, and played with the dogs. We all went to bed around 11pm since Monday is going to be a hectic day.

We all woke up this Monday morning with multiple knocks and doorbell rings. "What's going on?" I grumbled to myself before getting up and going downstairs. I saw mom at the door with Hopper. I heard her say thank you and closed the door after walking away. "What was that about?" I asked. She looked at me shocked. "Oh my, I didn't see you" She laughed. I chuckled, "Hopper just wanted to give us some more information on tomorrow and said he's sending any big bags we want to bring in a cab over night. Come on now, please help me pack. I need to pack 5 bags single-handedly" She sighed. "Who's? I know you can pack your own but do you want me to pack like Dawn's and Jane's?" I asked. "Oh yes please! That will be perfect! Then I can pack the twins and you can help me pack foods and bigger supplies" She said. I nodded and went upstairs to Jane's room, since I know she's more than likely awake right now. This day is going to be hectic.
