"I told ya... I just don't like Christmas." Another bauble escaped from her hands only to hang in the air for a few seconds before colliding with her bullet and shattering into nothing more than a fine, red mist that settled on the sandy plains.

"Doesn't mean you get to blow up all my decorations." She responded only by tossing up another bauble and giving it a quick death as she did with the other. "What the fuck is your problem?"

"I told you I don't like Christmas. Don't want no decoration, no songs and no presents. What part of that do you not understand?" It was at this moment that she finally turned around to face you.

"I just thought that just because you don't like Christmas, doesn't mean that you don't like Christmas with me. Come on, at least give it a try?"

Ashe, threw a bauble behind her, slung her repeater onto her shoulder and without looking pulled the trigger, the bauble exploded.

"I'll give it a try, but I ain't promising I'm gonna love it." She begrudgingly followed you into the kitchen of your farmhouse to see the vast array of food, carefully plated and laid out onto the long rectangular table, it did not quite have the reaction that you had hoped for. "Wow..." She responded sarcastically, rolling her eyes before pulling a chair out with great force and planting herself on it.

"So what? We eat now?" Her head rested in her hand which stood upright, supported by her elbow.

"Well we can, but I thought I would give you the presents I got you first?"

"Whatever... As long as it's quick, I didn't get you anything so don't get disappointed." Ashe was always a bit moody, but over Christmas it always got so much worse and she never ever told you why, previous years you had just accepted it, but Christmas was something that you loved so for once, you were going to celebrate.

The colourful and ribbon-adorned box made its way across the table into Ashe's lap, without a care or a sight of enthusiasm she tore the paper off before looking at the gift that sat in her lap, as enthusiastic as before she responded with a 'wow' before realising what it actually was. "You got me a new bike?!" Ashe jumped off of the seat and dangled the set of keys in front of her, the keys jingled in her hands as she jumped up and down with happiness and excitement before wrapping her arms around you.

"So, do you like Christmas now?" As you asked, she sat back down and tried to contain herself, feigning an act of unenthusiasm.

"Pfft, no... Can we see the bike now?"
