"Miss Lina are you sure we should do this?"
"Why shouldn't we? Think about it Amelia. Didn't that fruitcake ruin our Christmas? Do you want have that fruitcake around for the rest of the year?"
"Your right Miss Lina", Amelia said as she passed Zelgadis some tape.
"All that money we spent on this magic proof box will be worth it", Zelgadis said with a smile.
"We had a fruitcake and you didn't even tell me", Gourry cried and was soon beat in the head by the others. "What did I say?"
Ignoring Gourry, they all wiped tears from their eyes as the finishing touch, a "Don't Open Till X-mas" tag, was put on the box they had wrapped.
"We finally managed to do it", Lina cried as tears of joy streamed down her face.
"This time we won't get stuck with the fruitcake", Zelgadis said trying to contain his happiness.
"Now all we have to do is send it off", they all said in unison.
Later that week on Wolfpack island...
"Shat a large gift", Zelas said looking at the present that had just arrived. "I wonder what it is", she said as she knelt down to unwrap it. She stopped when she saw the "Don't Open Till X-mas" tag. "Oh well. At least I don't have to wait to open you, she said as she pulled out a wine bottle. "I wonder were Xellos has gone off to. I'll punish him for leaving without telling me when he gets back", she said as she exited the room.
"Mm wraff mear", a gagged Xellos mumbles from inside the box.
