Saturday (Christmas):

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Lia said jumping on my bed.

"What time is it?" I asked sitting up.

"4."

"AM?"

"C'mon! The boys are up already with Mommy and Daddy! We need to wake up the other two." She led me into Angie and Eliza's room and turned on the lights.

"What the hell?" Angelica groaned pulling the blanket over her head.

"It's Christmas. Get your asses up!" Lia said.

"Watch it." I said hitting her.

Eliza sat up. "Ang, come on."

Angelica sat up. "Fine."

The four of starting walking downstairs. "Wait till you see what I got you." Lia said looking up at me smiling.

The boys and Lia tore open their presents. One present made Lia really happy- the journal I got her to write her fanfics in.

"Meg! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She said hugging me.

I kissed her head. "There's a surprise in there you know."

"What is it?"

"You'll find out eventually." I smiled.

She handed me my present. "Here's yours."

I opened it. A signed Heathers poster. "Aw, Lia." I scooped her up into another hug.

"I knew you'd love it."

I opened the rest of my presents. Basically just musical merch. Pins, magnets, shirts, you know, the basics.

"Now I have special presents for you guys." My mom said. "Boys, go look in the basement."

They ran downstairs. "An air hockey table!" The all screamed. They never came back up.

"Eliza, Peggy, and Cornelia, you'll get yours a little bit later."

"Why?" Lia asked.

"Because it involves other people." She turned to Angelica who was sitting next to her. "Now don't think we forgot about you." She held her hands. "Your father and I know how much you wanted to go, so we signed you up to be a foreign exchange student in London next semester."

Tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. She didn't have anything to say. She was speechless. "I don't know what to say! Thank you so so so much!"

"You're welcome, dear."

"Just promise me you'll be responsible." My dad said.

"I will. I promise."

Angelica looked over to us. "I don't know what I'll do without you guys. I'll miss you so much."
