This story is set somewhat into the future so all the future kits can participate. "Amber!" Autumn cried, hugging her mother as she stepped in. "Grandma!" Jingle giggled, stampeding towards Amber, who hugged her granddaughter tightly. "Jingle!" She laughed, before carefully setting her down and taking a look around the house. "I'm so glad you came to help with preparations. There's still a lot to do-" "I've got it, don't worry," Amber chuckled. "Let me do my magic." She started preparing a huge Christmas chicken. "Jupiter and Echo should be arriving soon to help with preparations as well," Autumn continued as she pulled a plaited Christmas dress over Jingles's head. "Jaguar, you get the boys dressed, and tell them to clean up their rooms! Ladybug, I bought a Red dress for you-It should be on your bed." Ladybug Nodded, and Jaguar led Cobra, Jackalope, Ajulo and Stargazer up the stairs. A little later, the bell rang again. Amber stepped forward to open the door, and Jupiter stepped in, followed by Echo and the kids. They stampeded in. "Grandma!" Cinnamon giggled, hugging Amber, before hurrying off with her siblings to find their cousins. Echo and Jupiter started unloading bags of decorations and a huge Christmas tree that the whole family would decorate later. Echo started helping Amber in the kitchen while Jaguar started cleaning the living room, Jupiter, setting up decorations, and Autumn entertaining the kids. When everything was done and the food was in the oven, the bell rang again. Jaguar opened it. "Seafoam! Ash! Rainbow, Hemlock, Blizzard, Forsythia, Wheat!" He grinned, as more people stepped in. Jaguar hugged his sister, and Echo stepped forward to hug Ash, her brother. Ladybug stepped down the stairs, and hugged Orchid and Cinnamon. Rainbow joined them, and the girls ran away, giggling, to play in Ladybug's room. Venus was quietly walking around, and Jupiter spotted his daughter among the crowd. "Venus? Don't you want to go play with your sisters and cousins?" Venus shrugged as she sat down on the couch next to Echo. "Seafoam, can you entertain the younger kids while we get dinner ready?" She asked, pointing to where Forsythia, Wheat, Jingle and Stargazer were sitting. Seafoam nodded, and walked towards the younger kids. Awhile later, the door rang again, and Abyss pulled it open. Hazel walked in, grinning, followed by Fog and the kids. Tadpole instantly ran over to Cobra, and the two started making adventures all around the house, pulling along their siblings. Fog pulled a set of Christmas songs out of her bag, and started playing them. The room was filled with laughing and chatter, the playing of kids, the bright, cheerful lights, and the jolly, booming Christmas music. Amber took the chicken out of the oven as adults and children started piling presents under the Christmas tree. "Dinners almost ready! Ash, can you whip up a quick salad to go with the chicken?" Amber asked, setting the large tray on a cooling rack. "Of course he can. Ash is known in our house for his world-famous, delicious salads," Seafoam joked, and Ash grinned as he dumped a pot of salad into a large bowl, adding vinegar and tomatoes. Mars, Orchid, Ajulo, Jingle, Hemlock and Tadpole started setting the table, Jaguar stepping in to make sure nothing fell or broke. Another large table was set for the kids, and soon, everyone started sitting down. There was laughter and chatter all around the table as the adults and children ate their delicious Christmas dinner. When everyone was done, Ash, Autumn, Jaguar and Hazel started cleaning the table, and Fog, Seafoam, Jupiter and Echo washed the dishes. The kids and Amber were gathered around the Christmas tree, eagerly waiting for the moment they could decorate the beautiful tree. "No no no, first we have to figure out where everyone sleeps," Autumn announced. "I have prepared the guest room for Echo and Jupiter. The kids can sleep with their cousins, or in the hallways." Amber nodded. "And my house is right next door, and has 2 guest rooms, for Ash and Seafoam, and Hazel and Fog." Jupiter nodded, and started herding up his kids. "Ajulo, do you mind sharing your room with Mars and Abyss, dear?" Ajulo nodded, smiling as he led his cousins to his room, where they started unpacking their sleeping bags. "Now, Cobra and Jackalope share one very big room. Tadpole, Salamander and Walnut could sleep there. Blizzard and Hemlock could sleep on a blow-up mattress in our small spare room, right before the living room." Autumn nodded. "Alright, for the little kids-Jingle and Stargazer's rooms are right next door to each other. Forsythia, dear, do you mind sleeping in Jingle's room? And Wheat with Stargazer?" The younger kids nodded, and Seafoam led them up the stairs with their sleeping bags. "Now, for the other girls," Echo announced. "Maybe Cinnamon, Orchid and Venus could stay in Ladybug's room? -->
--> and Rainbow as well? Frog, you can sleep with Salamander," She nodded, as Frog breathed a sigh of relief. The girls all nodded, and dragged their sleeping bags to the room. The adults started going to their rooms to unpack. When everyone was done, they returned back to Autumn's house, where Amber was decorating gingerbread people with the kids. They moved the gingerbread's onto a plate along with the gingerbread house Amber had decorated, and set it on the table for everyone to eat. "Mmm, this is delicious!" Hazel exclaimed as she hugged her children. "Tastes heavenly..." "How did you make this?" the kitchen was soon filled with adults and kids grabbing more gingerbread, making happy sounds. After the gingerbread was done, Echo pulled out the many decorations for the Christmas tree. "Its decoration time!" She yelled as kids gathered around her. Salamander was the first to manage to snatch a decoration~A paper snowflake which he carefully set onto a branch. Jingle and Forsythia giggled as they grabbed a twin pair of blue Christmas ornaments, and hung them up on the tree. More and more kids started hanging up the ornaments as Echo and Ash carefully moved around them to hang the lights on it. When the Christmas tree was nicely decorated, and everyone was full, Seafoam led the smaller kids upstairs in the attic to watch Disney Christmas movies, while Echo and Jupiter sat down on the huge couch in the living room with the older kids to pick a movie. Autumn brought bowls of snacks around to everyone, and Hazel and Fog joined the older kids on the couch in excitement. When the Disney movie was finished, Autumn tucked in the younger kids. The older kids watched another movie, then went to bed as well. Everyone was excited for tomorrow, and you could hear the kids whispering in their beds. The adults left to go to bed as well. The next morning, Jingle was the first one to wake up. She giggled in excitement as she rummaged through the packages to find the one for her, and squealed happily, pulling out a light blue one with her name on it. Forsythia, who heard Jingle wake up, followed her and selected a smaller green package. The first adult up was Jupiter, who sat at the table, smiling as kids rushed into the living room to gather their packages. Cobra gasped as he clutched his brand new skateboard, and Jackalope giggled, opening a board game. Rainbow gasped in excitement as she put on a new pair of earmuffs and a Christmas scarf. When all the kids had opened their gifts, Amber stepped into the house, leading the adults. They were all holding gifts, some already opened and some closed. "Santa visited us as well today," She announced, setting down the gifts. Everyone stepped into a large circle, holding hands "Merry Christmas!" -The End-
