Surprise on Christmas Eve

(2nd Person POV)

Well, Francesca Lucchini, it's your birthday today. Which also happens to be on the same day as Christmas Eve! Good for you!

And you're just waiting for the whole crew, your friendly wizards and witches, and you are especially waiting for that special someone of yours named Lui Calibre, as he said he will have a surprise for you tonight, for not remembering your birthday last year.

And yes, he told you that he promised last year. How come you still remember it? Because he's just that special to you.

(Flashback to Your Birthday Last Year)

"Happy Birthday, Francesca!" Tony, Johnny, Dawn and Shirley greeted as you join the group call on Skype. "Hey guys!" You greeted them back.

"Happy Birthday, Christmas Bitch!" Wildcat greeted as you both laughed. "Ha! Ha! Tyler, you bastard!" You joked around with him.

"Come on, Lucchini. Be happy that your birthday's on the same day before Christmas!" Erica told her. "I am happy! Don't think that I'm not!" You replied to her.

"Oh... Hey! Happy Birthday Francesca!" Craig and Perrine greeted when they entered the call. Then you heard a ukulele tune in as Nogla and Marcel entered the call.

"Nogla..." You whispered, seeing him with Sanya by his side.

"Hi, Francesca. Happy Birthday!" Sanya said. You then heard Marcel (BasicallyIDoWrk) and Federica's voice, and they sung a Happy Birthday song for you.

And the last one who joined the call is the one you've been waiting to greet you. "Hey guys! Merry Christmas Eve!" You all heard Lui say in his kid voice.

Silence filled the call. After 20 seconds, Tony broke the silence and said: "Uh... Lui? Seriously, bro? Nothing?"

"What?" Lui said, sounding innocent. "Oh for fuck's sake, man..." Tyler cursed, as both of them and pretty much the entire crew know that you like Lui.

Well, you only told Tony about it in secret before he spread the word out to everyone else.

"Really? Lui? Nothing?" Craig asked. "What? Come on, guys, what the hell's wrong with you all? I didn't forget about Christmas this year!" Lui said, causing everyone in the call to groan in frustration.

"*groans* I can't believe you forgot Francesca's birthday, man!" He added. "Wait a minute, shut up for just a second. It's Christmas Eve. But, it's also... Francesca's... birthday? Tonight?" Lui asked, "Yeah. you fucking idiot!" Tyler said.

"Oh shit! I-I'm sorry! I didn't know! No one told me that her birthday was on Christmas Eve!" Lui said.

"No. It's fine, Lui." You smiled even though it hurts that he forgot. "No, it's not! Francesca, I'm so sorry! I-I didn't know today it was your birthday." Lui apologized. "Please Lui. Don't beat yourself up over me. It's Christmas Eve, but please do remember for next year that it'll also be my birthday when you come and see me." You reminded him.

"Don't you worry, Francesca. Just you wait. I'll make it up to you on Christmas Eve next year! I promise!" he said, cheering you up.

You smiled and said: "Okay. Until then, I'm counting on you, Lui Calibre!"

Present Day

"Alright. That should be it." You said to yourself, looking around the house. Everything was all set.

All the decorations were in place. The music was ready to go. The Christmas dinner was prepared and set across the table in the dining room. And the living room was filled to the brim with consoles and video games of all kinds.

"Francesca? Lucchini? Hey, it's us, Tony and Dawn!" You heard a familiar voice from outside your front door. "Tony. Dawn. Hey!" You greeted them. "What are you guys doing here so early?" You asked.

"Francesca, we've got something special for you." Dawn told you. "Something special for me? Where is it?" You asked.

"C'mon! Follow us!" Tony said as he held his hand out. You took it and the three of you ran outside to the night light lit-streets.

There, you saw Tyler, Craig, Marcel, Johnny, and David. Along with your witch friends back in the day, Erica, Perrine, Federica, Shirley and Sanya. 'Seriously? Lui? You forgot again?' You thought. You then noticed that they're all wearing Santa hats and jackets, Red ones to be exact.

"Alright, guys! Do your thing!" Tony commanded.

Tyler smiled as he and Erica shouted: "Special!" Then he turned around and you see that there's a letter S at the back of his jacket.

"(Extra) Ordinary!" Craig and Perrine shouted. He turned around, having the letter O on his.

"Romantic!" Marcel and Federica shouted and turned around with the letter R on his back. 'What are these guys doing?' You thought to yourself with a confused look.

"Reliable!" Johnny and Shirley shouted, turned around with another R on his back, "Uh... Young?"

Nogla and Sanya shouted in question, where you giggled at that saying, then he turned around with Y. "S-O-R-R-Y…" You spelled out.

"Sorry?" You asked Tony and Dawn and find that she's holding an envelope. "Read it." She told you.

You opened it and found a note. '- For not remembering your birthday last year... ' It said.

You tilted your head in confusion. "Look at them now, Francesca." Tony said. You looked at them.

"Nothing's changed..." You said, "You sure about that?" Tony asked. You then notice someone else beside Tyler.

With an "I'm" on the front, he looks up at you. "Lui…?" You said. "Hey Francesca..." He greeted and smiled at you.

"Lui. You didn't have to go this far for me. I already forgave you." You said to him. "Francesca! Wait! This isn't the real surprise." He told you. "There's something I have to tell you." He said. "What?" You asked. He unzips his jacket with the letter I.

You looked beside him with the others turning back to look at you with their jackets unzipped, spelling: 'I LOVE U'. You put your hands in front of your mouth awe stroked.

"Lui..." You said, exhilarated.

"Francesca... Happy Birthday. And Merry Christmas." He said while walking towards you.

"Will you be my Christmas present this year?" He asked and kneeled in front of you, holding your hand.

"Yes." You replied, as corny as it sounded, and he kisses your hand in return.

You both hug each other, then kiss on the lips. "Mmm, I'm hungry..." You heard Johnny say quietly. "Mmm… Me too." Shirley says as she hugs him from behind.

"Well, the food is inside, guys. Let's go!" You said. The others rushed in to the back of the house as you held your arms around Lui's. "I love you, Francesca Lucchini..." Lui said to you. "I love you too, Lui Calibre..." You say to him as well.
