Christmas Part 3.0

David's POV

["Did you give it to me?"] He asked me. I walk outside before I answer his
question. It's hard, maybe someone will hear us. Keifer and his people are still here. When I got a little further
away, I just spoke. "Yeah... That's all, he had no clue that it was from you." ["It's okay... It's better to be that way.
When he realizes it right away, maybe they'll even know about Keifer."] I release a heavy sigh. "Why don't you
show up for him?" He sighs as well. ["I have my reason, David. When everything is settled I'll come back to
you. I'll get her back from those scumbags. But right now... Please do me a favor."] "Anything." ["Keep Jay-jay
safe for me."] "I will..." I quickly answered and he ended the call. I turn around facing the entrance door of the
resto. From 
here I can see Jay- jay clearly. She looks so happy, even though she can't move properly. She was
so brave to face the men earlier. She was alone but she managed to knock down more than five. She's no
ordinary. I walk back inside. I need to do what she wants. Percy's thing. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jay-jay's POV The fruit salad is delicious. Felix's mother is the one who did it and gave it to us. I keep thinking
about Dalia and of course Percy. Where is she now and what exactly is she doing? Hey... "Are you guys ready?"
Rory asked us while on the mic. "Yeah!!" We almost shouted in unison while clapping. "Alright! Here is Yuri
Hanamitchi of Section E..." We all clapped and waited for Yuri to sing. " I'll hold the door, Please come in and
just sit here for a while. This is my, way of telling you I need you in my life. It's so cold without your touch, I've
been dreaming way to much can we just turn this into reality... " When the song was good, you also clapped
along. And I'm not the only one doing that. That's why the kid next to me was a tease. His clap was out of
tune. After we clapped, his. "... Cause I've been thinking 'bout you lately, maybe you could save me, from this
crazy world we live in and I know we could happen, cause you know what I've been feeling you... " You just
stopped suddenly because of his stare at me. I don't know why he's doing that but I can't help but miss him. I
suddenly remembered what Keifer had said to me before, during the Festival when Yuri was singing. "
..Storms they will come, but I know that the sun will shine again, he's my friend, and he says the we belong
together, and I'll sing a song to break the ice just the smile from you would suffice. It's not me, Being a nice girl
this is real tonight..." Suddenly the lukos also sang as if they knew the lyrics very well. I saw Calix and Mica
holding each other's arms. I also wanted to join in singing along because... " ..Cause I've been thinking 'bout
you lately, maybe you could save me from this crazy world we live in and I know we could happen, cause you
know what I've been feeling you... I know you want me... " I felt and knew that Keifer was looking at me
strangely. It was as if he was waiting for my reaction to what Yuri was doing. It was as if I was suddenly under
pressure. I just made the wrong move and it would be interpreted as such. " ..There's no other... There's no
other love... That I rather have... You know... There ain't no one... There ain't no one else, I want you for
myself.... " Shit! Is this it? Is this what the ring means? Is he looking at me with confidence? I don't want to
assume but because.... Aaahhhhh!! " ..Cause i've been thinking 'bout you lately, maybe you could save me
rom this crazy world we live in and i know we could happen, cause you know what i've been feeling you... I
know you want me... " ". ..Cause i've been thinking 'bout you lately, maybe you could save me from this crazy
world we live in and i know we could happen, cause you know what i've been feeling you... I know you want
me." We gave him a big round of applause but then I heard someone say. "That's it! Story repeat ata!" I looked
around to see who said that, but I wasn't sure which one of them it was. I just ignored it, because I didn't know
what it meant. Yuri left, our eyes met. I smiled at her and she did the same to me. Rory was now in front
holding the mic. "Thank you very much Yuri!" She said. "...Now, Jay's Warrior presents!" Wow! Here it is again,
that Jay's warrior! I thought we were done talking about that. The graceful dancers holding that name came
orward . Led by Ci-N, of course! The dancers started dancing. I didn't realize that Yuri had already sat next to
me. "Did you like it?" She asked me. I nodded while smiling. We didn't speak after that. The atmosphere
around us became awkward. I wanted to ask her but I was too shy. "Uhmm..." She started. "...W-do you want to
eat again? I'll get you some." I shook my head. "I just finished eating." He nodded and fell silent again. Every
now and then I looked at him and there were times when our eyes met. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Tsk. What is this?! "Yuri..." I started. "...y-about the ring." He looked at me. I started. If I waited for him, maybe
the new year would be over and nothing would happen. He took a deep breath. "Jay-jay... I... Hey... I don't know
how to say this." I wanted to yell at Yuri and tell him to talk. I was getting really nervous about what he was
doing. It was like I was waiting for a prize or an announcement. Hurry up! "Jay... Y-because..." I just stared at
him. He did the same to me. "Jay-jay..." He called out to me. He was talking for too long. They finished dancing
with Ci-N. Rory grabbed the mic again and spoke, causing our attention to go to him. "Thank you so much to
Jay's Warrior! Now... Let's go to our second game!" Rory said. Our companions cheered and applauded. "Bring
me!" Rory shouted. That game was so new. After all, that's what they always play at Christmas parties. "Let's
get started! Bring me... Bring me... Bring me something... SWEET!" Suddenly, they started to get into a frenzy
and grabbed some of the sweet foods. But they were caught because Calix and Mica were already in front of
them. "Someone won!" Rory shouted. "...Calix and Mica!" "Where's the sweet?!" Ci-N asked. "The two of them...
They're sweet to each other." Rory explained. We both ahhed at the same time. Rory is fine too. As long as he
gets to the word sweet, he's fine. "Next! Bring me..." Rory said after the prize was handed to the two of them.
"...Bring me... Bring me... Bring me..." "That took a long time!" Felix complained. "Wait a minute! Still thinking!"
Rory shouted at him and we laughed. "...Bring me... Bring me something... Black and white." They suddenly
looked at me. I also looked at what I was wearing. I was wearing a black t-shirt with a white Christmas rock
print. That's why before they could move, a hand grabbed me to make me stand up from where I was sitting
next to Yuri. "Hey! Come on! Wait!" I shouted as Keifer suddenly picked me up like a sack of rice. He walked
closer and set me down next to Rory. "Someone has won!" Rory shouted. I glared at the King of Cobras. "Why
do you need me with you?!" "You can take off your t-shirt?!" Oh yes, that's right! I was wrong about that too.
Keifer took his prize from the pile of prize gifts. But he handed it to me. "I don't need it... It's yours." He said.
"Next!" Rory shouted so I left in front. Keifer was left there to give a gift. I went back to where I was sitting
earlier. Yuri smiled at me. "Open it." She ordered while pointing at the prize I was holding. I did so and removed
the wrapping. Instant noodles! "Here it is?!" I asked annoyed. Wow! This is a good prize! Yuri suddenly
laughed. "We worked hard to wrap it nicely." I laughed too. As if I didn't know, this was the only Christmas party
I knew that gave instant noodles as prizes. "Why is your prize like this?" I asked while still laughing at what I
was holding. "It's like that, even when David was our president." She explained. "Why are you wearing that?" I
asked when I suddenly remembered that she was wearing an elf costume like Ci-N. "We were foolish before,
wanting to trip up our president. We asked him to wear a Santa Claus costume. Then we looked for someone
who could join him and wear an elf costume. That's it , Keifer's karma came back to us." He said and suddenly
laughed. That's why the fool was wearing that and even accompanied him. It just so happens that what you
did will come back to haunt you. "Last Bring me!" Rory shouted, making us look at him. "...Bring me... Bring me
something... Bring me something that you love!" Yuri suddenly picked me up, bridal style. I couldn't hold it
anymore and he walked straight to the front. As soon as he put me down, Ci-N immediately complained. "Hey!
Something you love!" Ci shouted while wearing a mustache. "Yeah..." Yuri replied. The feeling of dread I was
eeling earlier is here again. "Why did you bring Jay-jay?" Rory asked. Yuri suddenly looked at me. I wanted to
turn away and leave where I was standing, but I couldn't. My knees didn't want to go together. It was a joke!
"...Co'z I'm in love with Jay-jay." When Yuri said that, everything stopped automatically. It literally stopped, the
music died because the player moved. Rory dropped the mic, Mica and Calix looked at each other, Ci-N
slapped her forehead and almost everyone looked at the three of us, Yuri and Keifer. "Dead... Story repeat!"
