THE LAST CHAPTER X3
Sadie asked me to post it cause her internet is being a douche. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, I GIVE YOU *drumroll* THE CONCLUSION.
~
Alight with laughter, the room practically glittered with the affection that was brimming from the aliens that were seated around the elaborately-carved table. Some of them carried large boxes, others didn’t, but they all shared the same enthusiasm for the event that was about to take place. Careful that he wasn’t stepping on anything important, Nebulos clambered up onto the table and raised a couple arms to bring the room to order.
Pairs of eyes all swung around to focus on him, and the boy beamed as the room fell silent. “I guess Etoile and Tala are running a little late, but we can get started exchanging gifts! The way we’ll do this is that I’ll pull a name out of a hat, and that person will tell who they got and then give them the gift! Does that sound good?”
Various voices piped up to give their assent, and Nebulos smiled, whipping out Etoile’s detective hat and holding it aloft. “Great! Then we’ll get started!” One arm dove deep into the hat, shifting around the little slips of paper. “Aaand the first name iiiiiiis. . . Milo-Lee!”
The feline girl looked a bit startled, but she shrugged it away and got out of her seat, shifting around for the box that was sitting near the table and lifting it into her arms. Her expression was almost embarrassed as she announced lightly, “Er. . . I got Finnick.” The boy was sitting next to her, and he looked startled as she shoved the box into his arms, jumping back into her seat as soon as she got the chance.
Blushing faintly, the boy ripped off the paper and lifted up the flaps, looking almost surprised as he fished out a container with his name emblazoned in silver letters on the front. Turning it around, he examined it, and when he realized what it was, his green eyes lit up happily. “A tool box?! Thank you!”
“Yeah,” Milo-Lee responded, looking away, and a few aliens laughed and chuckled to each other. Nebulos, beaming happily, reached into the hat to draw out another paper, unraveling it quickly.
“Unagi! Your turn!”
Grinning madly, the alien in question jumped to his feet and rushed out of the room. The room was silent for a moment, staring at the door in which he had exited. “Uhhh,” someone said aloud, before suddenly Unagi bolted back in with a massive box in his arms.
“I got Dengeki!”
His twin looked startled, before matching his brother’s grin and jumping out of his chair. “What did you get me, dude?”
Dumping the box into Dengeki’s arms, Unagi watched with pride as Dengeki ripped open the top to find a very flustered, very confused Tala Ganmade.
“I got youuuuuuuu. . . a cute Ganmade!” Unagi said proudly, and Dengeki suddenly burst out laughing before suddenly rushing out of the room. He came back with a box that was even bigger, before shoving it into Unagi’s arms.
“Open it, man!”
Matching Dengeki’s grin, Unagi flipped open the top to find the other Ganmade, scrunched into hunched sitting position to try to fit in the box while looking utterly perplexed. “Uhh. . . hey, Unagi.”
“I got you a cute Ganmade, too!” Dengeki crowed, and the brothers grinned in mischievous companionship.
“You’re the best brother ever!”
“No, you are!”
“No, we are!”
“Are they allowed to give each other Etoile and Tala as gifts?” Ynda grumbled, looking unimpressed at the scene before her while the rest of the room chuckled.
Having caught onto the game, Tala hooked her hands behind her head and grinned, still nestled into the box. “Shut up, man, I’ll be Dengeki’s gift any day.” Another round of laughter circled the room, and both Ganmades climbed out of their boxes and took the empty seats at the table, stretching to remove the kinks from their sore muscles.
Beside him, Nalo scribbled on a paper and showed it to Etoile, a teasing grin playing about her lips. What if I wanted an Etoile for a gift? Blushing shyly, the boy tried to appear smooth as his tail wrapped tightly around one of her limbs underneath the table.
Still chuckling, Nebulos reached back into the hat and felt around for another slip of paper. “And next is. . . oh, just in time! Next is Tala!”
“I’m next for what again?” the Telarian responded blankly, rubbing the back of her head. “I had kitchen duties yesterday and I will blow something up before I look at another dish, much less cle- oh!” Her expression cleared as it finally dawned on her. “Right! I knew that.” Standing up, a beam overtook her entire expression. “I got Vibe! Aaand my gift is right in there!”
Flying out of the room, she was gone for several seconds before she returned, hoisting a canvas with her that was almost as big as she was. “It’s not that great, really, I mean I really tried, but I didn’t want to seem like a creeper for staring at you all the time so I could only get quick glances for references and I’m still not sure it’s right and-“
“Just show her the painting!” Etoile called, and a few aliens laughed as Tala sent her brother a scorching glare. Finally, she flipped the canvas around, to show a painting of Vibe sitting serenely on a couch, her eyes cast off to the side with light falling gently onto her skin. Tala thrust it into Vibe’s hands as though she was embarrassed by it and then drifted away.
Scoping the surface with her eyes, Vibe smiled and then glanced up at the girl with a warm smile. “It’s beautiful. Thank you.”
Looking immensely relieved, Tala slumped back into her seat with a happy smile and leaned her head back against her seat, lapsing into a comfortable silence.
“Next is Niji!” Nebulos announced, beaming as bright as the sun at the princess.
Lifting out of her seat, the girl made her way over to Nalo and presented her with a smaller box. “I got you!” she said happily, pressing the box toward her eagerly. Looking curious, Nalo popped the lid off and slid a limb inside, fishing out a few small, glittering objects. “Some pretty things, for your hair! If you want, I can show you some hairstyles and we can make your hair look all elegant and pretty!”
Smiling her thanks, Nalo gave the girl a brief embrace around her shoulders before inspecting the trinkets further, looking happily at the sparkling surfaces while Niji made her way back to her seat, a smile touching at the corner of her own lips.
Nebulos was already looking amused as he read the next name, as though ready to expect something humorous. “Next is Ynda!”
The smaller alien looked displeased, and hesitated stubbornly before finally climbing out of her seat and making her way around the table. “I got Cyril,” she grumbled, before picking up a long box and holding it out to him. The bird looked confused until he opened it, and then his eyes widened almost animatedly.
“. . . IT’S SHINY!” Grasping the end, Cyril shot into the air, pulling out a long stream of shining silver after him that rattled. Swooping around and attacking it, it wasn’t long before the bird was entangled in several long strands of glimmering silver.
“You . . . got him aluminum foil?” Nebulos questioned, blinking a bit, and Ynda shrugged.
“It made him happy, didn’t it?” The exciting squawking from Cyril’s direction indicted that she spoke the truth, and Nebulos simply nodded, laughing a bit as he dug around for the next name.
“Masurao’s turn!”
Almost every eye in the room turned to look at the bodyguard, who looked startled and then a little uncertain. He was silent for a few long moments, shifting his eyes around to different walls, before finally, a little begrudgingly, announcing aloud, “. . . I got Tala.”
The Telarian girl in question grinned widely, almost jumping out of her seat. “You did?! Really?! What did you get me?!” Her brother looked like he was considering pulling her back into her seat, but her elaborate display of excitement was something that he had expected, anyway.
Looking uncomfortable, the guard climbed out of his chair and turned to face her, having absolutely nothing with him. Her expression faltered slightly, and it looked as though she was under the impression that he had forgotten to get her something. Lowering slightly in the air, she was about to touch the ground when suddenly Masurao held out his arms.
Orange eyes lit up faster than a firecracker. “You mean it?!” Hesitating, Masurao finally nodded slowly, and Tala zipped toward him and collided with him in a fierce hug that almost knocked the bodyguard over.
The room was silent, when suddenly Etoile burst out laughing. “A hug,” he chuckled, wiping his eyes a bit. “Of course.”
After a few seconds, Tala broke away, beaming as wide as her face as she dropped back into her seat. Masurao, meanwhile, was trying hard to maintain a stern expression while he sat again at the table, but everyone could see that the whole exchange was not exactly inside of his comfort range.
Trying to hide a smile, Nebulos continued with ease. “And next is Nalo!”
Nodding a bit, Nalo drifted out of her seat and fumbled around for her gift, before making her way towards Nebulos and presenting him with a large, dull-looking rock. Nebulos looked a little confused as he took the large black rock, rolling it over in his hands, when suddenly one of Nalo’s limbs whipped out and flipped off the lights.
The originally ordinary rock suddenly lit up in the dark, throwing glowing lights and colors around the room that glittered brightly. Seemingly coming from the inside, the facets of light were bright enough to cast a dim light over almost the entire room.
“Wow!” Nebulos exclaimed, grinning as Nalo flicked the lights back on and the rock became ordinary once more. “This is so cool, Nalo, thank you so much!” Ruffling his hair, the girl nodded and went to sit back down by Etoile, seeming pleased.
“Next is Finnick!” Nebulos announced after setting his rock aside, holding the detective hat tightly once more.
Finnick shifted his eyes to the side and looked a little unsure of himself as he stood up, hooking his arms behind his back and announcing to the room, “Erm, I got Ynda.”
The girl looked unimpressed, but lifted an eyebrow, silently asking him what he had decided to get her.
“. . . I’m going to stay away from you for a whole week!” Finnick announced, smiling awkwardly. “I’ll stay out of your hair for an entire week, promise!” With that, he sat back down, looking as though he might take some enjoyment from this gift, as well.
Ynda shrugged lightly. “Good enough.” Relieved, Finnick edged a little closer to Milo-Lee, happy that his gift had been accepted.
“Oh, my turn!” Nebulos grinned, setting the hat down once more. “I got Etoile!” His gaze turned to the Telarian, who was already grinning. “Since you and Tala are kind of artistic-y and you and I love the galactic fruits and so I made you something!”
Running out of the room, Nebulos soon came back in with a large platter that he was struggling to hold up that was piled with galactic fruits of all sizes. When he sat the platter down, Etoile leaned over and then grinned, realizing how Nebulos had arranged them – into the shape of a very large leaf, detailed down so that the darker fruits even formed the spots that dotted D’thlanyian leaves.
“You are so awesome!” Etoile said, leaning over the plate even further and inspecting the whole thing with a wide grin. “Fruit feast later?”
“Yeah!”
“Great!”
“Hurray! Then next is Cyril!”
The bird looked up from where he had further entangled himself in a mass pile of silver foil, his eyes startled. “What?! Oh!” Flapping his wings a little, the bird shot up into the air, picking up a bag on his way and dropping it in front of Masurao. “I got you! I got you lots of good stuff, it’s really great and awesome!” This was all said very hastily, so that he could return to his aluminum foil rapidly.
Peeking into the bag, Masurao found there a whole pile of different treats, including different candies and foods from other planets, all piled in together. Seeming pleased, Masurao closed the bag again and set it on the floor beside his chair, choosing not to comment. But everyone could see that the guard certainly appreciated the food that was given to him. And on the other side of the room, Cyril was once again lost under a mountain of silver.
“Vibe’s turn!” Nebulos proclaimed, tossing the slip over paper aside.
The girl stood up, and she leaned over the table to hand Milo-Lee a smaller box, before settling peacefully back into her seat. Looking confused, Milo-Lee tore off the wrappings and then popped the top off of the box, peeking inside to find a newly-released video game sitting loftily inside.
“Oh, perfect!” she exclaimed, pulling it out and examining it. “Another game that I can beat Finnick at!”
Flushing, Finnick shook his head lightly, but said nothing as Milo-Lee continued to look over the game happily.
“Thanks!”
“Wait.”
On the other side of the table, Niji lifted a hand into the air, having worked something out in her head. “So, if that’s who everyone got. . . that means Etoile has me, right?”
“Awwh, you spoiled it!” The Telarian pouted a bit, mockingly, and then nodded, his antennae waving in front of his face. “I’ll be right back!” He ran into the kitchen and everyone watched the door expectantly, waiting to see him reappear. But when the door opened once more, it was not Etoile they saw, but a large, pink cake that had at least six layers.
Staggering a bit, Etoile set the cake down in the middle of the table, glancing over the elaborate frosting designs with pride. “I baked you a cake! It’s a recipe my mom loves, it’s really good!”
“It looks great!” Niji exclaimed, lifting out of her seat. “Thank you!” Her finger slid along the surface, and she brought the appendage to her mouth and licked the frosting off with a happy smile. “It is good! We should all have some! Someone go get some knives, we’ll share it!”
As the aliens all gathered plates and knives and began to cut the giant cake, many more thanks and smiles were exchanged between the friends, and they all had that warm feeling smoldering in the cores of their hearts. It was truly a Christmas tradition to remember, one that none of them would forget.
