Ace: Hahaha does that mean Aarons here.. Oohhh man ive been waiting for my revenge 

Ryoko: how'd you escape from prison

Ace: ahahahahahah I can't believe it ahahah first ill kill you then ill hunt down Aaron 

Ace activates his codex 

Ace: Arc Armorments 

Blue electric surges around ace and he has his judgement ordnance readied 

He rushes Ryoko she blocks with her judgement ordnance 

He slashes from the right down when Ryoko blocks it he kicks her knocking her back 

Ryoko: grrr

She activates deaths codex 

Ryoko: Black Blood 

A pentagram forms underneath her and a black aura surrounds her her eyes have a shade of red to it 

She rushes in and in one hit she knocks out Ace 

Ryoko: Ahh... 

Lilith: hey Ryoko we've located our target make your way to the bridge 

Meanwhile in a stealth falcon 

Karma: Skylar I need some help 

While aiming with her sniper she replies to karma 

Skylar: with what

Karma: well you see uh as you know Christmas is in a few days and...

Skylar has a smug face

Skylar: ah you want to buy Ryoko something huh huh 

Karma: WHAT uh as if I don't have any thing for anyone yet I need some ideas what everyone wants 

Skylar: ah well personally I'm just glad to be around you guys so I don't really have any ideas for you 

Karma: ugh not helping I guess ill figure something out. But did you get everyone something 

Skylar: of course 

Karma: even me

He says in a sarcastic voice 

Skylar: unfortunately yes 

Karma: is it coal

Skylar: I thought about that but I couldn't do it to you

Karma:!! Then What is it 

Skylar: hahaha you got to wait 

Then lilith interrupts 

Lilith: our target is in the bridge 

Karma: right 

He circles the stealth falcon around 

Lilith tells skylar where to shoot at when she said fire both her and Aaron shot their core weapons 

The top of the ship got blown off and a wall got blown up 

From above Skylar sees Aaron fighting a bunch of guards then she sees Ryoko start attacking after they took out the guards they started to attack their target not long later they apprehended him 

After they contact the law units a squad came out and arrested everyone 

After biding Farwell to the law units bounty team 998 head home 

9:41 pm 

Aaron: mmm 

Karma: this is so good 

Ryoko: mmm skylar you made this

Ryoko opens one

Ryoko: of course not I'm not heartless you know 

Karma: could of fooled me

Aaron realizes tora took his com 

Outside of by the fountain 

Tora: hey lilith I need help with something

Lilith: yeah you do Aaron hasn't got presents yet and you stole his com so he can't buy anything 

Tora: what but he's normally prepared tho 

Lilith: he told me last night he'd just wing it today

Tora: send a message to everyone and tell them to send Aaron to the fountain 

Lilith: right 

Back inside 

Aaron is knocking on karma's door 

Karma opens the door 

Karma: what do you want 

Aaron: let me see your com 

Karma: huh uh here 

New message 

Lilith: if you see Aaron tell him to go to the fountain tora has a plan for something fun 

Aaron: ah here 

He hands karma's com back and rushes out 

Karma: that was strange 

Then the other room's doors open and Skylar and Ryoko step out wearing robes 

Skylar:*yawn* ahh have you seen Aaron karma 

Ryoko: yeah he needs to go to the fountain for something.....💤

Karma: oh he just ran out in a hurry after he asked for my com

Ryoko: something from you

Her face turns red

Ryoko: I don't know I don't really have anything I want 

Karma: name something

Ryoko: I don't need physical things ill be happy with just hanging out with you guys 

Karma: what does that mean skylar said the same thing MAN I don't get you girls 

Karma walks out of the TQ

Ryoko has a confused look on her face she knocks on Skylars door 

Ryoko: its me 

Skylar: come in 

Lilith: man Karma's clueless isn't he 

Skylar: you can say that again 

Ryoko: lilith you were recording that 

Lilith: uh... No 

Ryoko: Since when can A.Is Lie

Lilith: I'm not lying it was a live feed 

Skylar: yeah she told me to look

Meanwhile at the mall Aaron and tora are walking around 

Aaron: well that takes care of karma and Ryoko

Tora: you only bought two things there 

Aaron: I mean yeah 

Tora: interesting

Aaron: what

Tora: you didn't get anything for Skylar

Aaron: I don't what to get her 

Tora: yet you can get something for Ryoko huh 

Aaron: huh you got a point 

Tora: wow how clueless can you be 

Aaron: hmmm what do you mean 

Tora: forget it I got to go find you something

Then Tora sees a florist shop and he gets the best idea ever 

Tora: Haha ahahah hehehe 

Aaron: what is it 

Tora: nothing see ya 

What a little weirdo 

After checking out more four more stores he found something for Tora now he still needs something for Skylar 

Then he hears someone calling his name

Annie: Hey Aaron 

Aaron turns around 

Annie: you doing some last minute gift shoping 

Aaron: yep oh any ideas what i could give to Skylar she's the only one I don't have a present for 

Annie has a smirk on her face

Annie: A kiss 

Aaron: uh..

Lore: Did someone say kiss 

Aaron: where you been hiding at 

Lore: oh I'm not the biggest fan this time of the year I'd rather sleep 

Lore: any ways who mentioned kissing

Annie: what do you think lore Aaron needs to get skylar a present still 

Lore: prefect 

Aaron: shut up you two I need real ideas

Annie: that was a real idea

Aaron: *sigh*

Lore: why not upgrade her sniper or Rift Core 

Aaron: Perfect you know lore sometimes i glad your here

Lore: though personally you should go with the kiss

Aaron: and you ruined it 

Annie: anyways I got to go places close early today

Aaron: okay see you around 

2 hour later Ryoko and Skykar 

Skylar: Ryoko we've been looking for hours now have you thought of anything yet 

Ryoko: I want to knock his expectations out of the water he's probably expecting some thing cheap but I really want to surprise him 

Skylar: then go out for dinner then he won't expect that

Ryoko: come on Skylar he wouldn't go just like that now come on we need to find something

Skylar sees karma in a shop looking at fancy restaurants RSVP that he could book 

Skylar: well then lets find out then Ryoko follow me and stay quiet 

Ryoko: hmmm... 

Skylar drags Ryoko over to Karma

Skylar: hey karma

Karma: oh hey

He says without looking at her 

Skylar: what're you doing 

Karma: looking a restaurant 

Skylar: for what 

Karma: remeber what we talked about on the mission last night 

He turns around and he almost jumps out of his skin when he sees Ryoko 

Karma composes himself 

Karma: oh forget it I thought I'd try to do something nice for a change 

Skylar has no idea what he's on about 

Karma: any ways see ya back home

He places a piece of paper down and He walks away 

The Skylar recives a message 

Karma: you are evil maybe I need to get you coal 

Skylar:*sigh* well it almost worked 

Ryoko: what 

Then Skylar sees what karma put down

After picking it up and reading it she says 

Skylar: just go with the dinner idea 

She hands Ryoko the paper it reads 

RSVP 

Names: Karma, Ryoko

Time: 8:30pm 12.25.26

Ryoko has no words to say. She turns in the RSVP to the employee and pays for it 

After an exhausting day everyones back in the TQ

8:48pm 

They all sit at the dinner table and sigh in relief

Aaron: that was even more tiring than the bounty yesterday 

Ryoko: yeah I know 

Skylar: well I got to go wrap my presents 

Suddenly the others panic and run out the door 

Skylar: uh what happened

Lilith: my guess is they didn't get wrapping paper and the stores close at 9 tonight so they have 10 mins to go and buy some 

Skylar: Ohh 

Tora is on Aarons back and Ryoko and karma are beside him its a mad dash to the store 

They finally arrive 1 min to spare the employee is not happy to have three last minute customers but deals with them any ways

The four purchase different paper and head back 

Karma: man I can't believe we forgot the paper

Ryoko: yeah it felt like something was missing

Aaron: *sigh* well we're good now 

As their walking they realize there in short sleeves tees and wearing flannel pjs and they feel the cold 

Karma: damn its cold 

Ryoko: burrr 

They look at aaron and his scarf 

Lore: Aaron share your scarf 

Aaron: fine 

He steps closer and he wraps his long scarf around everyone the three a shoulder to shoulder Aaron Then Ryoko Then karma  

Ryoko: ahh now its warm 

Karma: half of me is

Lore: Ryoko its cuz of their body heat 

Suddenly Ryoko realizes but she stays composed 

Ryoko: works for me thanks for the warmth 

Lore: you guys are no fun
