Zam was woken by an excited shout coming from the main room. Smiling, she stretched and got out of the chair she had ended up falling asleep in. She knew Boba had just seen the myriad of presents under the Christmas tree. She had placed them there herself. "Zam!" Boba's voice called, "Santabot left us presents! A lot of them!"
"I know," Zam chuckled, "I was the one he woke up last night." Zam walked into the main room, where Boba was already tearing open his presents like a nexu with a prey animal. Zam watched him indulgently. His wrapping paper massacre ceased for a moment to look pensively at a small, unwrapped package he had picked up. I don't remember putting that there, Zam thought. "Santabot left one for you." Boba said, handing it to her. Puzzled, Zam inspected the box before opening it and pulling out a slip of paper and a beautiful ornate amulet. Zam looked alarmed at the expensive looking object, turning it over in her hands. There was a blue spherical gem in the center, held by a silver encasement that had been crafted to look like twisted vines. Zam noticed a thin line running straight across the sphere, untouched by the encasement, splitting the amulet in two halves. It looked like some sort of crack in the gem. Perplexed, Zam pulled carefully at the top half of the amulet. The amulet opened up, revealing a complex array of tiny wires surrounding a small black button in the center. Warily, Zam pressed down on the button, not sure what to expect. With a sudden buzz, a field of blue energy suddenly surrounded her, shimmering uncannily. "Whoa!" Zam exclaimed, almost dropping the amulet in surprise. Boba looked up, startled. His eyes widened upon seeing the strange aura encircling Zam, "What is that?" He asked in awe.
"It looks like… a shield? Kind of like the type droidekas use…" Zam pressed the button again and the shield dissipated. Zam looked down at the note that had come with the amulet. 'Your armor was always too flimsy anyways. Love, Jango.' The note had been written hastily, almost embarrassedly and it was all the more endearing for that. Zam smiled as she slipped the note into her pocket and fastened the amulet around her neck. Boba seemed to have recovered from the initial surprise of the object's powers and went back to opening his own presents, though something told Zam that she'd be spending a lot of time today explaining why Santabot had given her a miniature shield generator instead of coal. Zam sat down on a seat by the window, looking out at the churning ocean. The planet hadn't changed from yesterday. It was still cold, wet, and bare. But somehow none of that mattered. There was still no place she'd rather spend her Christmas. Kamino was the least festive place in the galaxy. But you'd never know it in here.
((Fin! I hope you all enjoyed my fanfic. Maybe I'll do a Hanukkah one next year, seeing as I'm Jewish. Anyways, merry Christmas and may all your presents be awesome!))
