&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;A young child named Hugh got up bright and early for today was Christmas and Sanit Nicholas &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
had brought presents the previous night whilst he was sleeping. He saw the tree was now loaded &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with presents and there was a shiny new Playstation 2 with two games Katamari Damacy and Sly &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cooper, the PS2 already plugged up to the Television Set with a small note attached to the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
controller reading. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Merry Christmas Hugh Phileas, From Santa Claws&amp;quot; Hugh saw this and looked at his paws, yes, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
his paws. A couple of years ago Hugh got down with a nasty cold, his mother always the over-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
dramatic one paniced, it happened every time Hugh showed even the slightest amount of a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
sniffle. Hugh didn&amp;#039;t mind it, in his innocent heart of gold he knew that no matter what his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mother did it, even though it looked extreme at times he knew it was only because she cared &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
deeply for him and loved him. When Hugh got over his sickness after a couple of days of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
homemade broth and good rest he found he had grown a tail, that part he remembered hurting and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
he couldn&amp;#039;t seem to shake his blanket as it had become rather attached to him. It was a bit of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a concidence that his blanket was had of Faux-Leopard fur and that he had become a snow &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
leopard. He was a little worried at first, but Mommy and Daddy didn&amp;#039;t seem to notice, assuring &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
their child that he was just having a bad dream and that he was awake now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This fond looking back also made him remember that this year he had spent some of his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
allowance on a friend, a mephit who held a support group right here in Blackburg that &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
conviently taught all about it and taught all about these mystical invisible people known as &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Changed. There was one person who showed up human but swore he could turn into a qoute unqoute &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Electric Hedgehog Pokemon&amp;quot; and that no one could see him in this form when he did. Robert &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hallman, leader of the support group, kicked this guy out eventually for making creepy &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
advances on some of the females and calling any TG&amp;#039;d homos who were &amp;quot;faking&amp;quot;, though the last &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
straw was when he called the skunk a jerk for hogging the pretty young wife of his to himself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh remembered that fondly, he was amused as it looked like Rob and the rest of the furs were &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
about to kick some serious ass. Audrey, the wife in question had to hold some people back. The &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
odd pokemon fan rarely showed up due to living a couple of hours away in the nearby town of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Charlottesville, but after Rob tried to smack him into next thursday he learned his lesson and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
never came back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh saw that his parents weren&amp;#039;t up yet and knew the abode of the Hallman family was very &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
close by, and if he ever forgot he could follow his nose. Hugh went back to his room and dug a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
box out of his closet, he had the kind lady at the store wrap it for him. His parents did not &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like the Hallmans or Hallmen... well they&amp;#039;re not both dudes, so Hallpeople? And thus had done &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this in secret, Hugh didn&amp;#039;t bother putting shoes on or even changing out of his PJs, his fur &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
would keep the cold at bay and the shoes would just vanish anyway. The veil was odd like that, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
alot of the time Hugh had to be reminded to take them off because he would just forget he was &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wearing them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a short walk the snow leopard arrived at his destination and rang the doorbell of the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apartment Room the Hallman&amp;#039;s lived in, Audrey answered the door. &amp;quot;Oh hi Hugh, uhh Merry &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas?&amp;quot; she said was trying to be polite, but felt quite awkward. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think your &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
parents want you here, especially not in your Power Ranger Pajamas.... but it&amp;#039;s still good to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
see you, would you like some hot chocolate?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh had a smile on his face &amp;quot;Merry Christmas to you too Mrs. Hallman, I&amp;#039;d love some&amp;quot; he said &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as he held out his present. Hugh was around 12-13, but due to his autism often behaved more &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like he was 7-8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey blinked, feeling charmed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh is this for me?&amp;quot; she asked, inviting Hugh inside, very briefly Audrey couldn&amp;#039;t let Hugh &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
stay long. It was Christmas and Hugh needed to be with his family, especially at 8 O&amp;#039;Clock in &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the morning on a major holiday and the authorities might get involved if there was a minor in &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
his PJs sitting where his parents specifically asked both him not to be and the Hallmans to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
stop letting him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh shrugged &amp;quot;Well no it&amp;#039;s for Rob, I mean, Mr. Hallman, but I guess it could be for both of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
you.&amp;quot; as he sat down on their couch and patiently waited for Mrs. Hallman to brew him the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coacoashe promised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What is it?&amp;quot; Audrey asked, taking the chocolatey beverage out of the microwave and handing it &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to Hugh who silently thanked her with a polite bow and sipped on it, licking any that got on &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
his fur off. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well you two have to open it first! It&amp;#039;s a suprise!&amp;quot; Hugh said with glee as he set his Hot &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chocolate down waiting for it to cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey smiled and handed Hugh a game case that read Gauntlet:Dark Legacy. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve got a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Playstation 2 right? Well here, we got this in the mail recently from a friend, but we already &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
have this game. So why don&amp;#039;t you take it, call it a Christmas Present.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh looked blankly at the package for awhile before saying &amp;quot;Thanks, Mrs. Hallman&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey looked back at him, the blank stare was something Hugh did at times. &amp;quot;Is something &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wrong, you don&amp;#039;t already have it do you?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh chirpped up without warning &amp;quot;Oh nothing, I just got a Playstation 2 for Christmas from &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Santa and was wondering how you knew.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey chuckled &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t, its just alot of boys your age have one so I assumed you might have &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
one.&amp;quot; Audrey looked at the time, it was almost 8:30, Hugh couldn&amp;#039;t stay long at all oh no, his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
parents would have a fit. &amp;quot;Hugh sweetie, I hate to rush you on out of here. But it&amp;#039;s &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas, I think you need to run on home and be with your family&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh finished his hot coacoa and set the cup down, with game in hand he returned home. He read &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
details about it from the back of the box and noticed it was multi-player, maybe his dad would &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
like to play it with him, before he left the home he turned to Audrey and asked something that &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
had been on his mind. &amp;quot;Mrs. Hallman, do you think that Santa is changed like me and Mr. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hallman?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey smiled &amp;quot;Oh your parents ha... I mean, I&amp;#039;ve seen Santa at the mall and he looked human &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to me. Rob&amp;#039;s the changed one and he hasn&amp;#039;t said anything, but I guess you never know&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh giggled &amp;quot;No Mrs. Hallman, that&amp;#039;s an actor, I mean the real Santa up in the North Pole.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey thought to herself before saying aloud &amp;quot;Well I guess he could be a reindeer....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think so&amp;quot; Hugh objected playfully &amp;quot;My PS2 was signed from Santa &amp;quot;Clawz&amp;quot; so I think &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
he&amp;#039;s something with claws. But what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Audrey shrugged &amp;quot;Could be anything, but you might want to run home now me and Mr. Hallman have &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
things to take care of.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh ran home after saying goodbye with his new game in hand. He hadn&amp;#039;t even opened his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas presents from mom and dad yet, so he could have a pile of games for all he knows. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the more reason to get started on the one Mrs. Hallman gave him. He opened the door and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
saw his dad on the couch comforting his mother. &amp;quot;Look he just went out to play like I told &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
you, you know Hugh&amp;#039;s loved getting fresh air ever since he got over that cold. Hi son!&amp;quot; his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
male figure acting in paternal capacity said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh&amp;#039;s mom got up and hugged him &amp;quot;Where were you! You know it&amp;#039;s dangerous outside, that big &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
cat keeps leaving foot prints all over our yard what if he comes ba....&amp;quot; and then she felt the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
game in his paw she noted that it wasn&amp;#039;t one of the games that Santa brought for him and it &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
was odd for Hugh to be playing outside with a distinctly indoor toy &amp;quot;Where did you get this?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she demanded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Mrs. Hallman gave it to me, I was just giving them a Christmas Present I bought for them &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
right quick and...&amp;quot; Hugh was slapped in the face before he could finish. He growled at his &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
mother in an instinctual bit of self-defense. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t take that tone with me young man! You &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
know you&amp;#039;re not allowed to leave the yard without permission. Especially not to visit the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hallmans, you know we don&amp;#039;t like you hanging out with adults, and in your PJs!?! They didn&amp;#039;t &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ask you to come over dressed like that did they?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No mam...&amp;quot; Hugh answered meekly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dad sighed &amp;quot;Lighten Up Gloria, the boy was giving a present on Christmas. I&amp;#039;ve met the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hallmans they&amp;#039;re nice people. Besides, it&amp;#039;s Christmas! Hugh&amp;#039;s been a good boy all year, he &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
shouldn&amp;#039;t be slapped on Christmas.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria Phileas sighed as well &amp;quot;I know I just wish he&amp;#039;d make some friends his own age, I just &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
can&amp;#039;t trust someone whose so nice to someone else&amp;#039;s kid. Especially one as trusting and naive &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as our son.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard Phileas responded &amp;quot;I know Gloria, but you have to admit, our kid&amp;#039;s adorable plus I hear &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Robert can&amp;#039;t get Audrey pregnant. It&amp;#039;s likely far more innocent than it seems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria shook &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m still scared for our boy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh piped up &amp;quot;Mommy, Daddy, what are you talking about? I like the Hallmans and they&amp;#039;ve never &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
hurt me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria gasped &amp;quot;Look mommy and daddy need to talk in private for a bit, why don&amp;#039;t you stay here &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and sort through presents to find the ones that are yours and play the new games Santa or... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mrs. Hallman got for you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two left into their bedroom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard held her wife &amp;quot;Look, let&amp;#039;s not be in here long, I don&amp;#039;t want Hugh to get worried. We &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
promised each other Hugh would see our hometown one day. Why don&amp;#039;t we get a place down in &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silver City and try to get Hugh to make some friends his own age. I&amp;#039;ve been reading about this &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
High School that has an autistic program for children like him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria leaned her head against her husband, she was a nervous wreck when it came to worrying &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
about her unbeknowst to her mutant son. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know, I don&amp;#039;t like the crime rate in that &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard heard Hugh call for them &amp;quot;Mommy, Daddy, I&amp;#039;m done sorting the presents. Say the game &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mrs. Hallman gave me is two player. Maybe you&amp;#039;d like to play it with me Dad, after we open &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
presents, I mean.&amp;quot; their only son yelled. Causing Howard Phileas to turn to his wife and say. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We can talk more about this later, maybe we should spend Christmas together and worry about &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this some other time?&amp;quot; Howard pleaded. His wife agreed, and the three spent the rest of the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holiday Season without any furthur concerns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
December 25th, 2006&lt;br /&gt;
-One Year Later In Silver City, North Carolina- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris the Gender-Flipped Tigress got into Gabriel&amp;#039;s big blue van with his girlfriend Thana The &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female Born Still Female Now Panda. (Wow! A woman who was born with a vagina, I think that&amp;#039;s a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
first for the series!) Thana growled at Iris and she roared in return. &amp;quot;Why is she coming?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They both asked Gabriel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You can cease the rivalry for now, please, can my best friend and my girlfriend get along for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
atleast Christmas?&amp;quot; The rodent driver begged &amp;quot;Besides Thana, my beloved monochrome bamboo &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
munching sweetie bear, Striped Slut here is the only one who knows where Hugh lives.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris giggled &amp;quot;You made a refrence to me being a girl! This is a good day already&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel adjusted his mirror and took off with Thana hugging him before the three took off. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Quite.....&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris spoke up &amp;quot;You know, your slut comment...&amp;quot; adjusting her shirt, trying to show off some of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
her bountiful cleavage, she was wearing a shirt that read &amp;quot;Meet Me Under The Mistletoe&amp;quot; which &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she had self-modified to show off boob, it looked just ripped to anyone who wasn&amp;#039;t Changed, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
whom thought Iris or Cale as her real name was, to be male, allowing her to be a little more &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
show-offy than most girls. &amp;quot;Wasn&amp;#039;t entirely inaccurate....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Shut up Cale.&amp;quot; Gabriel said without looking at her, Gabriel always thought of Iris/Cale as a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
male, for that is what she looked like to him when they first met. Plus it was a reminder of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
better days, days when he wasn&amp;#039;t such a disgusting creature. How he loathed being a rat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Why are we going to this guy&amp;#039;s house again?&amp;quot; Thana asked after giving Iris a dirty look, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
which turned into fake gagging when she saw what her fellow female was doing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel responded by stating &amp;quot;Hugh&amp;#039;s atleast for now as far as I know, Female Parent Figure &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
acting in maternal capacity arranged a telephoneic communication with Cale and asked if we &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
could spend Christmas with Hugh because Hugh is special and has never had friends. This is &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
familiar to Cale whom has a suprisigly large heart and asked me to take him....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Her&amp;quot; Iris corrected&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Him to Hugh&amp;#039;s house.&amp;quot; Gabriel finished&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thana asked &amp;quot;Yes, but why are we coming with him? Neither of us know Hugh that well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Because for one thing he has taken on the form of a snow leopard due to whatever strange &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
circumstances altered our forms in this queer manner and it&amp;#039;s important that we band together &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and take note that we are not alone in the world. Especially at this, the yueltide, the most &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wonderful and magical time of the planetary cycle.&amp;quot; Gabriel responded and continued &amp;quot;Besides, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh&amp;#039;s parents may pay you 20 bucks for a drawing of the event. Much like Iris they can be &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
rather sentimental, besides according to Iris they got presents for the three of us.&amp;quot; Iris &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
leaned back upon hearing this, technically a car has four walls, if one was counting counter &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
clockwise from the side of the van Iris was leaning on and Gabriel had slouched a bit, one &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
could state that Gabriel was leaning on the fourth wall. Just a random factoid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Sometime Later at Hugh&amp;#039;s House-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh had been up for the better part of the day, wanting to wait till his friends arrived to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
open up presents. It was the first Christmas he spent with someone other than his parents and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
they weren&amp;#039;t even showing up. Hugh looked down and asked his mother &amp;quot;Are they here yet?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria said no and was begining to worry, it was almost one and Iris had told her on the phone &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she&amp;#039;d be here. &amp;quot;Oh teenagers... Hugh I&amp;#039;m sorry but no, they aren&amp;#039;t.. Are you sure you want to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
wait before opening presents? It may be a while longer&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh shook his head no &amp;quot;T-Girl, Creepy Crawly, and Mono told me they&amp;#039;d be here, and T-Girl &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PROMISED!... hmph.. no friends and no snow, this is the worst Christmas ever...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria chuckled &amp;quot;And they let you call them these names, what does the T stand for?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Tiger&amp;quot; Hugh replied shortly before hearing the ringing of a doorbell, causing Hugh&amp;#039;s Snow &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leopard ears to perk up &amp;quot;Are they here?!?!&amp;quot; and ran to quickly open the door to see Gabriel &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
whilst Iris and Thana were going at it, Iris looking like a guy to normals decided to stop as &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to not look bad infront of Hugh&amp;#039;s parents, Thana took this opprutunity to punch her in the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
face, knocking Iris flat on her ass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sorry we&amp;#039;re late, dingus over there was the one giving the directions&amp;quot; Gabriel apologized &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
whilst gesturing towards Cale. &amp;quot;Come in Thana and Dingus&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three sat down and Hugh&amp;#039;s mother smiled &amp;quot;Well the important thing is you got here&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Howard Phileas laughed &amp;quot;Yeah, now we can finally get to opening presents&amp;quot; he said as he handed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh a box who proceeded to go to town on it, well slowly, Hugh remembered his first Changed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas where he wound up breaking a toy with his sharp claws before had the chance to play &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with it. Fortantely it was the holidays, so exchanges were easy to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel felt a suddenly tingly sensation in his jaw and searched through his pockets, he left &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
his chew stick at the house. &amp;quot;I hate to be a bother almost as I hate the fact that we were &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
late, but could I trouble you for some hard candy.. I.. really need to chew right now.&amp;quot; as he &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
began grating his teeth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gloria smiled &amp;quot;Well of course dear, I think I have some Hard Starbursts in the kitchen, why &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
don&amp;#039;t I go get some for you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel whispered to Iris in a voice only those with sensitve animal hearing could hear &amp;quot;Cale, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want you to know that if there wasn&amp;#039;t a chance Thana&amp;#039;s punch could have dislocated your jaw &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would have beaten you senseless for even daring going so far as to consider touching her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are a man in my eyes now like you were before and that unlike Hugh&amp;#039;s parents is never &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
going to change.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
with a hint of nervousness to her voice Iris laughed slightly &amp;quot;Can we talk about this later?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gladys came back to give Gabriel the hard candy he had asked for and turned to Iris, shortly &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
after Gabriel nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So my son says he&amp;#039;s nicknamed you Tiger Girl... I&amp;#039;m guess that&amp;#039;s because of your striped &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
hair... but, you&amp;#039;re not a girl.&amp;quot; she said to Iris, as she only saw Cale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris chuckled a bit &amp;quot;Well you know Hugh&amp;#039;s imagination, I sometimes get mistaken for a girl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something about the face and the long hair ya know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hugh held up a remote control Batmobile to show everybody before hugging Iris. &amp;quot;Thanks for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
showing up...&amp;quot; he sounded far more emotional than Iris had ever heard him sound, I guess she &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and her friends really mean something to him. Or maybe the clawed up shirt was a little too &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
effective, just not on the right furry teenager.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iris laughed &amp;quot;Nice Batmobile, I didn&amp;#039;t know they still made those, here&amp;quot; she slid him a box &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she had carried in. &amp;quot;Open mine next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The End!&lt;br /&gt;
Merry Christmas from Paradise!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah I was a little late putting this one here... stories I put on here have a hard time formatting in the way I want them too. so I keep putting them off. I still have one more finished story to put on her. It&amp;#039;s a Pokemon Crossover... No it&amp;#039;s not canon, call it my &amp;quot;Cascade Failure&amp;quot; This series would really be jumping the shark if a Pokemon Cross was canon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
