Elvengirl: Well, here it is. The Final Final chapter of this little story. I'm really glad that everyone enjoyed it so much. Thank you all so much for reading this and telling me what you think. I appreciated every one of the comments I recieved and I mean this all sincerly. And I have another fic in the works with my friend Aerith, so it should be up soon...middle of February I would think. I want to get at least three chapters written before I post it and we still have some details to work out.
And now, without further adieu, I will reveal the identity my menace that killed all my romantic moments.
Bonus Chapter : Mistletoe Sniping Reindeer. Indentity Revealed.
"You know...there's one thing that's still bothering me," said Heine, as he handed the last bit of garland to Lunamaria.
"And what's that?"
"Who that mistletoe sniping reindeer was."
"Good point. We still haven't figured out the identity."
"You guys talking about that reindeer?" asked Shinn, coming to see if he could help, Stellar close behind.
"Yeah. Are we letting the matter drop or what?"
"Actually, Dearka and Sting came up with a plan," said Stellar.
"This I gotta see," Heine grinned, stepping down from the step-ladder and heading down the hall. Shinn and the others followed.
They soon found Dearka, Sting, and Auel setting up mistletoe over the door to the living room. The plan, as they explained it, was simple. Two people, Athrun and Cagalli, were going to attempt to kiss under the mistletoe. When the reindeer showed up, the others were going to jump him.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Luna sighed. Stellar nodded in agreement. However, curiosity prying on their nerves, they went into the living room to watch the preceedings and were soon joined by everyone else.
"Here goes nothing. Operation: Identity Revalation is go!"
Athrun and Cagalli looked at each other, awkwardly. This was going to be very difficult with such an audience watching. Athrun stifly put his arms around Cagalli, his cheeks a bright red. There was no need to go any further. A loud yell rang through the hallway followed by a bullet that hit its mark.
Dearka, Sting, Auel, Shinn, and Heine took off after the retreating reindeer. Mu following with the video camera. They dissappeared around the corner. There was a loud crash. They came back around the corner. Dearka proudly dragging the reindeer. Auel holding his head. Sting helping Shinn limp down the hall. Heine nursing a cut on his arm. Dearka stopped in front of the audience. It was time. Like something out of an old Scooby-doo cartoon, Dearka whipped off the mask. Everyone gasped. It was...
"Yzak?"
"What?"
"You're the reindeer?"
"Yes. I'm the reindeer, and I've sworn to shoot down every piece of mistletoe I see."
"But...why? On all levels, why?"
"Because I can't stand it. Out of everyone, I'm pretty much the only one who doesn't have a girlfriend! Zala's got Cagalli. Dearka, you've got Miriellia. I don't have anyone..."
"So...since you can't be kissed under the mistletoe, no one can?"
"Exactly."
"He's learned well," Rau smiled, before Andrew elbowed him in the ribs.
"Why the reindeer suit then?"
"Had to hide my identity somehow."
"Aw...cheer up," Dearka clapped his friend on the back, "I'm sorry that this was bothering you. Look, I promise that will have you a girlfriend by Valentine's Day. Count on it."
Christmas Comes But Once A Year - End Proper.
Elvengirl: And so it really ends. The last quote, a premonition of things to come...who knows? I might plan something for Valentine's Day. I don't really know yet. All I know that my next Gundam Seed Project will involve Yzak and Dance Lessons. I hope to see you all againwith that fic.
