Katya sighed as her and Willam walked through the mall. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to get Trixie."

"Oh, so are you guys okay?"

"You could say that."

"You never told me about that trip. How'd it go?"

"It was nice."

"Did something happened with you and Trixie?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Well.."

"Well?"

"Mama, you have a glow."

"A glow?"

"Yes, you have been in such a good mood. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for you but.."

"But?"

"What happened? Like is it because of Trixie or someone else?"

"It's because of Trixie."

"So, you two talked it out?"

"Yes. I asked her if we could talk and we did."

"I know that isn't all that happened."

"You're right, but that's all your hearing about. Now, what should I get her?"

"Wait, are you seeing her for Christmas?"

"Shit, I forgot to tell you. She invited me to spend Christmas with her, after I spend time with you and aunt Tempest of course."

"Does that mean you two are dating?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because we are just figuring things out Willam."

"You like her, she likes you. What is there to figure out?"

"Listen, I don't want a repeat of what happened before, neither of us do."

"That could have been avoided if the two of you talked more."

"I don't remember asking for your advice."

"I'm your sister, you don't have to ask."

"Oh fuck off." Willam laughed as she leaned on Katya's shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

"That doll."

"Does she likes dolls?"

"She has a few of them."

"So, are you going to get it?" Katya stared at the doll that was on display in the window.

"I don't know."

"Come on, let's go inside." Willam grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her inside the shop. The shop seemed rather small from the outside but it was much bigger. All around were older looking items. Everything was vintage.

"Hello ladies, welcome. May I help you?"

"No, we are just looking." Willam hit Katya's shoulder, pointing to the doll. "Uh actually yes, I wanted to look at the doll in the window, the one in the pink dress."

"Oh of course." The lady in the green dress walked to the window, picking up the doll. "She has been here for quite some time."

"She's gorgeous."

"A vintage 1988 porcelain southern bell. She comes with an umbrella and a white wooden rocking chair." Katya stared at the doll, in awe. It sort of looked like Trixie. The doll had long blonde locks and honey brown eyes. Katya smiled softly and looked at the red haired woman.

"How much?"

Katya on her bed, wrapping the gifts she had gotten for her friends. Christmas was soon and she was happy to be home. It sucked that she couldn't spend this holiday with her parents, but she had her sister. Katya finished wrapping Jan's gift, setting it aside. The last gift she had to wrap was Trixie's, the doll. Willam kinda thought it was a bit silly to get a grown woman a doll but Katya had a feeling that Trixie would like it. She hoped that Trixie would like it. Katya grabbed her phone and scrolled to Trixie's name. Katya put her phone to her ear, waiting. "Hello?"

"Hi Trixie."

"Hey baby." Katya smiled as she bit her lip.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay, although I would be better if my sister would stop eating the cookie dough though. Farrah, stop it!" Katya could hear Trixie slap her sister's hand away. "Anyway, how are you?"

"I'm good."

"Are you sure? You sound a little down."

"I'm sure. I am a little tired though, I was out with Willam all day."

"Some sister bonding time?"

"Meh, it was more for us to just buy Christmas gifts."

"How did that go?"

"Went alright, I got each of my friends something."

"That's great love."

"Yeah."

"Katya, what's wrong?" Trixie slid the cookies in the oven and walked out of the kitchen.

"I just miss you."

"Awe, that's sweet."

"Shut up."

"What? It is. If it makes you feel better, I miss you too."

"Really?"

"Of course. Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, is there anything you really want to eat on Christmas? Like something that you have every year. I am cooking and since I invited you over, I thought to ask."

"You don't have to cook what I want to eat." Trixie choked as she blushed, she could hear Katya's grin.

"Katya, my sister is in the next room, behave."

"She doesn't have to! We all know you need your back blown out as much as possible."

"Farrah, shut up!"

"I think I like your sister already." Katya laughed as she heard Trixie groan.

"Oh yay, isn't that just great." Katya went quiet for a moment, her mind starting to wonder.

"Trixie, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Um do you uh..see us dating, like in the future?"

"Do I see it or do I want it?"

"Both, I guess."

"Well, yes."

"To which one?"

"Both." Katya smiled softly as she sniffled. "Did I give the wrong answer?"

"No, you gave the perfect answer."
