Yay! Here it is, the Christmas Special you have (probably) been waiting for! Please comment/vote if you enjoyed it and I hope you all have a very merry Christmas this year, along with a very happy new year!

I'm uploading this at 00:41 AM because it technically still is Christmas Eve where I am. Technically.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jaden and Yusei really thought they had been exploring this damned gallery for hours now. Nothing appealed to them, there wasn't a door to exit through - not even a hint of a Death of the Individual statue to guide them away either. It was as if the whole gallery had just collapsed on itself, now becoming a long and thin hallway, leading to absolutely nowhere.

The brunette let out a long, upsetting sigh. His eyes scanned for any sign of anything scary, and he was frustrated when he found nothing. To put it simply, Jaden was bored out of his mind.

Yusei noticed this in the young teen and couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, leading Jaden to turn around and look at him with a funny expression.

"You think...I like being bored like this?" He growled, "I'm so bored I could generally start kicking a wall OR, OR! I could turn insane, Yusei!"

Jaden stopped walking and gripped his hair in frustration, and the elder behind him gently pet his head. Jaden looked up at Yusei and saw that he was smiling.

"I'm sure we'll find some sort of door somewhere, Jaden. Don't worry about it. We'll find something fun!"

Jaden looked down at the ground and nodded slightly, letting go of his hair and heaving a great, big fat, whopping sigh. Yusei pat his shoulder for comfort, but it only made Jaden even more depressed.

"Stupid gallery..." Jaden mumbled, kicking one of the walls.

Suddenly, a door opened to reveal a brightly lit room on the other side. The brunette blinked a few times before looking back at Yusei, the pair both shrugging at what Jaden had just done. They then, without thinking any further, went into the room.

Jaden's eyes were blinded by a bright, white light, and he had to cover his eyes. He suddenly felt a lot warmer, and he could even say he felt more relaxed.

He groaned a little before pulling his arm away from his eyes, seeing a large room. His eyes widened and his grin couldn't get any wider. This was a Christmas Room.

Jaden started to laugh and giggle, slowly exploring the room. The walls and ceiling were a bright green; meanwhile the floor was a soft, carpeted red - almost worn. A large tree stood in the middle of the room, spread out and wide. But its artificial branches were completely bare, and this made Jaden frown.

He noticed that there were some boxes around the tree, and Jaden was instantly searching through them.

Yusei, on the other hand, was confused.

"Jaden...?"

"Yes?" The boy replied, looking over at his companion.

"...What are you doing?"

"Looking for decorations to decorate the tree, silly!"

"...Why would you want to do that?"

"Yusei...have you...ever celebrated Christmas?"

"Not in a long time, no."

Jaden was shocked, flabbergasted even. He stood up and walked over to the taller male, looking up at him, dead in the eye.
