As the blizzard commenced outside, the wind making the delicate snowflakes dance, a family slept inside. This family was not of the ordinary but consisted of: Mamma Jinxx, Pizza man Jake, BatmANDY, Pervy Purdy, Little Nicky, CC and of course Bambi. The snoring filled the home as the christmas tree twinkled away, presents snugy fit underneath and stockings lining the fire place. Of course know one could predict how this family's life would turn, all ready been through so much yet they never broke. With this christmas being there first it would hold a beautiful memory in everyone's hearts. Forever.

Pushing open my eyelids i rubbed my eyes the morning feeling taking over until i realised it was christmas. Jumping up, literally, from my bed i sprung over to my door quickly bounding down the hall running into Nicky sending me to the floor along with my little sis. Clutching my head we both stood, soon busting in a fit of laughter at our eagerness, with us both being christmas obsessed. I had high hopes for this day as it will be my first proper christmas that i can remember. Giving each other a glance we soon dashed into Ashley's room since his was closest. Jumping over the discarded clothes and keeping our eyes away from the half naked women on the walls we began to jump on his bed sending the man rolling around, a groan leaving his lips. "Five minutes" He mumbled swatting us away with a limp hand.
"Oh but ASH IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Nicky yelled her feet doing an Irish jig.
"Fine fine fine! I'm up! I'm up!" He moaned as he fell out of his bed a cup of water falling from his bedside cabinet making him and landing on his head making the boy look like a wet rat. Giggling a bit Nicky soon walked to the door a jump in her small step but i hung back, "The quicker you move the quicker you get your presents Ashy." At this his head perked up a sly grin on his face as we strode into Jake's room then Jakes the Andy's to which the same procedure happened.

Four out of five members collected we galloped into Dad's room to find it empty, so as if on instinct we all rushed down the stairs which ended in a horrible mess of bodies at the bottom of the steps, myself wedged under Jake's butt. "Get off me you heffalump!" i moaned my lungs closing up from lack of air. Once all off i took an exaggerated breathe of air causing myself to have a coughing fit while everyone laughed, #RUDE! Nipping through the home a sweet along with burning smell emerged from the kitchen, peeking through the door the most hilarious sight was seen. Dad was dressed in pyjama pants and a pink apron, oven mittens over his hands as he clutched a smoking pan of...bacon?
"Dad loose the gloves I've got this." Nicky piped up as she squeezed past everyone, quickly scooping up the remenents of the frazzled bacon we all wandered through to the living room completing ditching the idea of breakfast. I mean who needs breakfast on Christmas? not us! i guess we are jut too darn cool. Ew did i just say darn...oh well IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!


"OH MY GOD IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!" Veroncika quoted shaking a huge unicorn Ashley had gotten for her. "I love it Ashley!" She yelled pulling the bassist into a bone crushing hug making everyone awe. "No problem squirt!" he whispered back making my heart double in size. "Okay Cassara's turn!" Andy yelled shoving a small box into my grasp. "Gosh so eager," i started when i stopped, it was beautiful. A delicate sliver pair of Angel wings, several minuscule diamonds encrusted into the wings which hung from a chain, i was overwhelmed. Even the guitar Jake gave me didn't pull on my heart strings as much as this did and believe me that guitar was beautiful.
"You know just thought that since your nickname is Angel that.."
"It's beautiful i love it Batman!" i replied pulling him in to a hug. Me and Andy have gotten really close these past few months, he was finally telling me about his hopefully soon to be girlfriend Juliet, and all in all becoming a true brotherly figure. "My TURN!" Jake yelled pulling my gift out from under the tree, opening it up his face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Your joking right!"
"Nope!"
"Holy shitzu's a $100 gift card to pizza express, Do you know how many pizza's i can get with that?"he squealed and to be honest it as like watching a little boy in a candy store.

The day progressed and everyone was content. A belly full of tasty treats had filled them up, along with Cassara's cookies. The Christmas Dinner was not your usual but worked for the peculiar bunch. Instead of turkey and trimmings there was Pizza, Mashed Potatoes, Pot Roast, and many more jumbles of food that would last weeks. It now nearing 6 pm the day was almost at an end but waiting outside in his car sat a young man with high hopes. Collecting his senses he stepped up to the door knocking slightly until a rumble was heard inside. Swallowing his nerves as the door swung open revealing his one and only. Dressed in a festive sweater and leggings a pair of slippers on her feet she soon brought him into a hug her smell of perfume and sweet apple pie radiating off her as she wished him a Merry Holiday.

"Merry Christmas Austin! Come in Come in!" Waving him in i turned back into the hall guiding him through the home. Passing the living room the guys wished him a happy holiday as i took him upstairs. Slipping into my room i rushed forward digging in my cupboard in aid for his present. Quickly finding the familiar box i spun around finding him sat on the bed a nervous look on his face. "You okay Austin you look nervous?" i questioned.
"What? Noooo i'm uh fine." Agreeing despite my concern i handed him his present eager to see his reaction. "Do you like it i mean i return it if you want?" Playing with my fingers looking down unsure of his reaction a bone crushing hug caught me off guard. "No i love it!" Smiling into his hug my head on his chest he soon pulled away. "Your turn!" Giving a smile i sat on the bed opening the present and my heart stopped. Inside the small blue box was a silver band with a black heart gem on top. Picking it up a message on the inside caught my eye, bringing it closer i saw it read, "My wild flower" Tears now sliding down my face, i can't believe he remembered that...

"This film is completely mad, why is it bad that she is a wild flower, why must all the other flowers not like a wild flower even though she is clearly human." Young Austin pondered not fully understanding 'Alice in Wonderland." Cassara however completely engrossed in her favourite film began to speak not bothering to look away,"You see Austin the flowers do not understand why she is not like them and so decide to hate her, since she does not fit in with them she i hated, despised if you will. I suppose i am a wild flower, our school being the other flowers." an upset look flashing in her eyes. Quickly dawning on young eight year old Austin what she had meant a quick reply left his lips, "well then your MY wild flower." Turning her head from the film a smile graced Cassara's face she nuzzled in closer to her best friend whispering ,"Forever and Always."

Looking up my eyesight strained with tears the smile on his face broadened as he realised that i had remembered too. "Forever and Always" I whispered gazing at the ring with love then up at Austin. A smashing of glass broke our loving moment, then the shouting began.....
