A very OP Christmas Part 1...

[Cruel Britannia]

It's christmas time at the Edwards Manor, Hindale and Alex and gabe are lugging a gigantic Christmas tree into the house.

[Cryonix]

Gabe: Fuck, Alex! Where the hell did you find this damn tree? Finland?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Hey.... it's the first Christmas in the new house..... I wanna make it as good as Dad would at the estate.....

..... what? You think it's too much?

[Cryonix]

Gabe: No...I get that...just...this fuckin' thing is heavy! I mean...will you have the room in the living room for this...and the mountain of presents that will be coming?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Oh yeah don't worry about it.... I moved some furniture out of the family room.... we should just about fit everything in......if we put some of the gifts in the formal lounge..... maybe.....

[Cryonix]

The two clear the threshold of the front door...when one of the ropes binding the tree snaps...and the tree fans open.....smacking Gabe in the face..

Gabe: GODDAMNIT!

[Pockets]

A heavily pregnant Alexis pokes her head around the door. She's wearing a sweater that makes her belly look like a snowglobe.

Alexis: Everything alright...? Wow, that's a big tree.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex fights his way through the branches.

Alex: Yup.... we're all good sweetie.... everything is completely under control......

Amanda: Yeah..... looks like it nature boys.

She has walked down the stairs wearing this......

[Cryonix]

Gabe: HEY! A LITTLE HELP BACK HERE PLEASE! I CAN'T KEEP HOLDING THI.....

....UM....SQUIRREL....THERE IS A SQUIRREL IN MY PANTS......

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: I ain't falling for that shit twice Gabe......

[Cryonix]

Gabe: You muthafuckin'.............HELP ME!

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan appears behind Gabe and kicks him in the ass, chasing out the squirrel.

[Pockets]

Nikki walks in.



Nikki: You're calling it a squirrel now?

Alexis notices the other two in their outfits... then looks down at her snowglobe.

[Cryonix]

Jayden: We're back from the airport, guys. I....damn, that's a big tree. Gabe...um...need some help there, brother?

Gabe: Not now....pain of being kicked in ass overridden by staring at Nikki.

Jayden: ....That is the TREE your holding...right?

[Cruel Britannia]

Since Gabe has dropped the tree in squirrell related panic, Alex takes the opportunity to go over and wrap his arms around Lexi.

Alex: Hey beautiful.

Ewan kicks Gabe in the ass again.

Ewan: How's that squirrell?

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles at Alex.

Alexis: Hey, handsome... have fun getting the tree?

Nikki smirks at Gabe.

Nikki: Your tree fell and your squirrel escaped. Should I be worried?

[Cryonix]

Gabe: Unc....you will not phase me today. I have got the greatest gifts for all of you. The copious amounts of pain you are delivering....mean nothing to the fact of that...and I'm still looking at Nikki.

Jayden: Well....Jess and I would like to get into the fuckin' house, ya big oaf. Move. Look...why don't you just have my staff put the tree up?

Gabe: Your....staff?

Jayden: Oh, right....you and Nikki were bodysurfing in Bali...you didn't hear. I got named party leader...and the General Elections are looking very much in our favor.

Jayden looks back at his security staff and his other employees...

Jayden: Put the tree up...and decorate it nicely, if you please.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: It was tricky finding one big enough........ how are you holding up.... it looks like something's bothering you?

Ewan: Um..... Jayden.... they do realise that you could single handedly drop your entire security detail right?

[Cryonix]

Jayden: I know...hell, they know...but the party said something about it not 'playing to the common man.' That I would be 'too elite for the common vote if I showed I could handle myself, had a hot fiancee and a genius mind for politics.'

Jayden rolls his eyes...

[Pockets]

Alexis looks at Alex, amused.

Alexis: Does it seem the least bit odd to you that a politician's staff is setting up and decorating our tree...? I was kind of looking forward to the decorating part....

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Well.... I'm sure the public will soon come around to the idea that a leader should not be average.....

Alex: Hey Jay..... you can tell your associates to take a break..... decorating the tree is going to be a family activity..... there's sugar cookies and egg nog in the kitchen.... they can help themselves.

[Cryonix]

Jayden: You sure, Alex? I mean...it's no trouble.

Gabe: Hey Nikki...come here...I actually have one of your gifts to give you early.

Jillian walks in on the phone...

Jillian: Oh....well, that's a shame. How long will your flight be delayed?........Oh, that's not too bad. Alright....we'll see you and Daniel when you get here, hon.

[Pockets]

Nikki walks over.

Nikki: Really? What is it?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex smiles and takes Alexis' hand.

Alex: Oh I know it's no trouble...... we'd just prefer to handle it personally.

Ewan: Problem with Nathie's flight sweetie? Or did they just not make it out of bed again?

[Pockets]

Alexis giggles.

Alexis: And we're bad....
