"So, آپ and Julien are getting pretty close?" Marlene hinted as she giggled. "What?! No!" Lexii کہا as she splashed Marlene. They were both floating around in Marlene's pond. Marlene nudged Lexii with her elbow. "Aw come on! آپ two would be good together!!" کہا Marlene smiling. Lexii growled just as Skipper jumped out of the manhole سے طرف کی the door. Lexii and Marlene screamed then glared at Skipper.
"Dry off ladies! رپورٹ to the HQ stat! Commence Operation Christmas!" Skipper smiled and disapeared back into the manhole. The girls shrugged and hopped out of the water.
Skipper clapped his hands and cleared his throat. "Ok people. Listen up! We are go for Operation Christmas! There are a lot of things that need to be done in a very little amount of time!" Skipper motioned to Kowalski and he handed everyone a sheet of paper with pictures on it.
Lexii took her فہرست and glanced over it.
- Christmas tree
- decorate Christmas tree
- Gift exchange
- gingerbread men
"This isnt to bad!" Lexii exclaimed. "I call baking the gingerbread man!!" she smiled.
Skipper smiled back then spoke again. "Ok, first on the فہرست is the tree. Lexii, Kowalski, Julien, myself, and Rico will pick out a درخت while Marlene, Private, Maurice and Mort gather the decorations. We will meet back up here at 2100 hours. اقدام out!"
It was very dark in the woods. Skipper, Lexii, Julien, Kowalski, and Rico had gone into the forest just outside of town and were now walking timidly along a narrow trail. A sudden noise made them all jump. Lexii grabbed Julien's hand without thinking. She quickly pulled away and blushed.
They soon came to a clearing scattered with pine trees. They picked out one that was not to big and not to small. Rico hacked up a chain saw and started sawing away at the tree. Everyone else put their hands over their ears.
Rico laughed like a maniac and yelled "TIMBER!!!!!!"
Everyone moved out of the way as the درخت crashed to the ground.They all smiled and slapped high-fives.
Skipper, Lexii, Julien, Kowalski, and Rico entered the zoo carrying the درخت on their shoulders. They stood the درخت up and admired it.
Marlene, Private, Mort, and Maurice came in carrying armloads of decorations. They put them on the ground اگلے to the tree. "Where'd آپ get these?" Lexii asked as she looked through the pile. "Zoovenier shop." Marlene کہا brightly.
Skipper stood atop a rock and motioned for everyone to start decorating.
Ornaments were hung and the tinsel was strung. It took them all about an گھنٹہ and all that was left to put on was the star.
They all stacked گھاس, ہے bales ontop on eachother so that they could reach the سب, سب سے اوپر of the tree. Lexii climbed up with Mort on her shoulders and Skipper tossed her the star. Lexii held Mort up and he placed the سٹار, ستارہ atop the tree. Everyone cheered as Mort hopped down.
Lexii reached up to straighten a piece of tinsel. She couldnt reach it. She stepped back to the edge of the گھاس, ہے bales. Still couldnt quite reach it. She reached her arm as far as it could go. Lexii grasped onto a thin branch and leaned back. Almost got it...SNAP! The branch that she was holding onto snapped off the درخت and Lexii tumbled backwards down to the ground.
Rico threw up a ساحل سمندر, بیچ ball and tossed it under Lexii. She bounced off it and flew straight towards Julien. He caught her and smiled. She laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "Oopsies." she کہا as she giggled. Julien put her down and smiled. "Thanks." Lexii کہا as she smiled. Julien stepped towards her and smiled sincerely. "I will always be there to catch آپ when آپ fall,Lexii." Julien کہا as he leaned in for the kiss.
Skipper covered Private's eyes and smiled. Private peeked over Skipper's flipper. Marlene and Kowalski sighed dreamily and smiled. Rico made a grossed out face and covered his eyes but he still looked out from the side of his flipper and smiled.
Lexii was scared. But this just felt so ...right. She couldnt do this... "Julien, wait..." she کہا just as their lips brushed against eachothers. They opened their eyes. "Im sorry Julien. I just cant. I've never dated anyone. Im so sorry. I would but... just not now..." Lexii looked down sadly. Julien took Lexii's hand and squeezed it. She looked up at him. To her surprise, he smiled. "I completely understand, Lexii." he کہا sincerely. Lexii smiled."Thank آپ for understanding Julien." They smiled at eachother.
The warm smell of gingerbread wafted through the air. Skipper, Private, Marlene, Julien, Mort and Maurice sat at the میز, جدول chatting. Kowalski was in his lab inventing who knows what and Rico was on درخت patrol on the other side of the zoo. Lexii put on تندور mits and took half a dozen gingerbread men out of the oven.
Rico burst in through the escape tunnels with a crazier-than-normal look on his face. "COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled and laughed like a maniac. He ran towards Lexii,who was still holding the gingerbread men, and reached for a cookie. Lexii put the tray above her head and pushed Rico away with her foot. "Not yet Rico. I havent frosted them. And how in the heck did آپ smell them from across the zoo?!" Lexii کہا as she slowly put the tray down. Rico pointed to the سب, سب سے اوپر of his beak where his nose is and made a "no duh" face. "Really, never would have guessed that." Lexii smiled and rolled her eyes. She took out some frosting and decorated each of the six gingerbread man.
Kowalski burst out of his lab. "It's done!!!!!! My Inanimatron is finally done!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!"
Skipper sighed. "What does THIS one do Kowalski?..."
Lexii picked up the tray of کوکیز and smiled. "Cookies are done!!" she کہا cheerfully. Rico crossed his eyes. "COOOOOOOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he tackled Lexii and the gingerbread men went flying. The plate flew into Kowalski and he dropped his new invention. A purple کرن, رے shot out and hit the six flying gingerbread men.
Lexii growled at Kowalski and Rico. The کوکیز fell to the floor and a purple glow formed around them. Everyone gathered around to watch what would happen. One سے طرف کی one, the کوکیز stood up and started walking around. Everyone gasped except Kowalski who was clapping his hands excitedly. Skipper slapped him and told him to fix this.
Suddenly the کوکیز laughed evily and ran out the door. Everyone rushed outside and gasped. The gingerbread men were attacking the Christmas tree!!!!! The ornaments fell to the ground and shattered.
"What do we do?!?!" Marlene asked franticly.
Skipper smiled slyly. "Rico! Kaboom! ....... Rico?"
Rico was racing towards the درخت screaming "COOKIES!!!!!!" He snatched one of the gingerbread men and swallowed it. The other gingerbread men stopped what they were doing and looked at Rico. He laughed like a maniac and grabbed two مزید cookies. He chased after the remaining کوکیز and gobbled them down.
Rico raced back towards the پینگوئن, پیںگان habitat where everyone was watching with surprprised eyes. "TAADAAA!!!!!" Rico yelled. Every one cheered.
The درخت was still pretty much intact so they all just straightened the tinsel and hung up a few مزید ornaments.
Christmas eve 1900 hours
Next up was the gift exchange! Lexii carefully wraped each present in red wrapping paper and tied a small سونا bow ontop. She carried the presents into the HQ and set them on the floor اگلے to her. Everyone handed out presents.
Lexii got Skipper a coffee mug with the American flag painted on it. She got Marlene a set of paint and brushes. Kowalski got a new microscope and she got Private a Lunacorn blanket. She gave Rico five firecrackers and Maurice got a portable neck-massager. Lexii gave Mort a small popcicle maker. She gave Julien a fancy تکیا for his تخت and a few multi-colored feathers for his crown. They all thanked Lexii for their gifts.
Now it was Lexii's turn to get gifts. Rico gave Lexii a stick of dynamite that he had painted pink. Skipper gave her a blue camo wristband. Private got Lexii a cute bunny plushie. Kowalski gave her one of his latest potions (no idea what it does and dont want to find out). From Marlene she got a silver ہار with a few charms on it. Mort gave her a leaf in the shape of a سٹار, ستارہ that he found on the sidewalk and Maurice got her a lavender scented candle.
The only one left to give a gift was Julien. He pulled Lexii aside and she could see that he was holding something behind his back. Julien smiled and handed Lexii her gift. It was a peice of wood carved into the shape of a heart. In the middle it read : live, love, laugh.
Lexii smiled and hugged Julien. "Thank you!!! Oh i love it Julien!" Lexii کہا as she ran her fingers over the smooth dark wood. Lexii smiled and hugged Julien again. They hugged for a few سیکنڈ then something in Lexii changed. She relized that she didn't want this hug to end. Mabey she did love Julien after all. It was to complicated to understand right now...
Christmas morning. Marlene's habitat
The sun glared through the doorway and Lexii opened her eyes. She sleepily gazed over at Julien's present which was now mounted on the دیوار infront of Lexii's bed. Every love song in the history of love songs played in the back of her mind. She smiled as visions of her and Julien together flashed into her head. She quickly shook her head and sat up. "AHHGGGG!!!!" Lexii yelled as she hit her head on the دیوار a few times.
Marlene sat up and looked at Lexii with concern. "Uh, are آپ okay?..." Marlene کہا as she slowly got out of her bed. Lexii rubbed her forehead and stood up. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm gonna take a walk in the park. Kay?" Marlene smiled and laid back down.
Lexii stepped outside into the cool air. Snow covered everything. She strode past the بندر habitat and Julien jumped out from behind the fence. Lexii was startled but then smiled at him. "Merry Christmas!!!" she کہا cheerfully. He smiled and told her 'Merry Christmas' back. Lexii waved goodbye and started to walk away but Julien pranced up along beside her. "Where ya going?" Julien asked as he walked closer to Lexii. "I'm going to take a walk in the park." she said. Smiling, she turned towards Julien. "Wanna come?" Julien nodded eagerly and Lexii laughed.
White. Nothing but white shining snow. It covered every inch of the park and icicles hung from the trees. It was beautful and breath-taking.
As they walked, Julien looked over at Lexii. She blended in almost perfectly with the snow. Her sparkling blue eyes twinkled like diamonds. Julien looked at Lexii's hand. He wanted to hold that hand مزید than anything right now. He quietly reached toward it. Lexii saw what he was doing and gave him 'the look', but she secretly wanted to hold his hand too.
They came to the سب, سب سے اوپر of a small ہل, لندن and stopped walking. Lexii tip toed away from Julien and made a small snowball. She took carefull aim and hurled it at Julien playfully. He laughed and rolled down the hill. When he stopped at the bottom he looked up at a laughing Lexii. She laid down and rolled down the ہل, لندن then came to a stop right اگلے to Julien.
As they laid there laughing, a big chunky pigion flew straight into the درخت branch above Lexii and Julien. The pigion knocked the snow off the branch and onto Lexii's head then dizzily flew off. Lexii laughed and looked up at the درخت branch. "Uh-oh..." she کہا quietly as Julien also spotted a small gleaming mistletoe. "Heh..." Lexii looked at Julien and made an 'oh crud' face.
Julien took Lexii's hand. "We dont have to if آپ dont wan-" Julien stopped when Lexii took a step closer to him and smiled. Julien brushed Lexii's bangs out of her eyes and leaned in for a kiss. The moment their lips touched, they both felt something that they had never felt before- pure love. Lexii wrapped her arms around Julien's neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. They held eachother and kissed for a few moments. When they finally broke apart, Lexii smiled at him. "Merry Christmas Julien." She turned around and began to walk away, smiling.
Julien watched Lexii walk away. She seemed to glide across the snow as her beautiful tail bounced behind her. He sighed happily and leaned against the tree. Best Christmas ever.
"Dry off ladies! رپورٹ to the HQ stat! Commence Operation Christmas!" Skipper smiled and disapeared back into the manhole. The girls shrugged and hopped out of the water.
Skipper clapped his hands and cleared his throat. "Ok people. Listen up! We are go for Operation Christmas! There are a lot of things that need to be done in a very little amount of time!" Skipper motioned to Kowalski and he handed everyone a sheet of paper with pictures on it.
