Lexie grinned. She didn't need to be told twice. Handing Cal his first gift, she went searching for hers. "OOO!" She squealed, pulling the wrapping off the book first. Next she went for the smaller boxes, leaving the large heavy one for last. She squealed and giggled with each package. "It's so cute!" She laughed out, holding up the entire outfit once they were all unwrapped. Finally Lexie moved on to the long thin package. "It's so heavy!" she exclaimed, tearing off the paper. She lifted the box inside and screamed. "OH MY- OH MY GOSH! LOOK!" She cried out holding it up. "Look Look!" She squealed, bouncing around now. She didn't want to put it down but she managed to tear herself away from it long enough to run around and hug everyone in the room before returning to her new guitar and sitting down, staring at it in awe. |

Calvin opened his presents slowly, still reeling slightly from Keeley's gift. The camera and photoalbum made him smile - it was perfect, because now he had friends to take pictures of and save memories with. His final present - when he opened it, at first he didn't know what to say. Obviously it was Kat's gift - and it was beautiful. "A broomstick," he said, running his fingers down the handle. "Kat, that's lovely! Thank you!" He wasn't sure how else to react - he'd never thought about flying before, but at the same time, it was an interesting idea. |

Kat watched both her sisters, Em and Lexie, as well as Cal, open their presents. She put up her hands. "Hold up," she said, grinning. "I can't take credit for everything. My gifts for each of you - Lexie, the guitar, and Cal, the broomstick. That's it." She smiled. "Happy Christmas, guys!" She planned on opening her presents later. Maybe with Ragnar, if she ever found out what was wrong with him - because she had to. Maybe her book from Abi would have advice? Or - she should go to Mungo's. Why hadn't she thought of that before? |

"Oh! I love it!" She squealed again, jumping up to hug her again. This time she dragged the guitar without her, not wanting to let go of it. "Someone has to teach me! Please!?" She said, but caught her parents glance. "Oh hold on!" She gathered up the gifts and ran off to her room, emerging a few minutes later, completely clothed in pink. "Hahaha! I look like a pink rock star!" She giggled, picking up the guitar. |

Kat grinned. "Shoulda told Mum and Dad to get you a blue outfit," she said, loving the fact that her sister was so happy. "Or else I should've gotten you a pink guitar -" But she felt no need to change anything, her sister was happy and that mattered to her. She looked over at Calvin who was still just admiring the broomstick. "You alright, Cal?" she asked him, uncertainly. |

Calvin nodded, trying hard to look as interested as she wanted him to be - honestly, he really was! He was just so overwhelmed by the whole Christmas thing, and then he sighed, shaking his head. It was his first Christmas without his parents. And that almost didn't seem fair to him, it was upsetting. He wanted them to be there - and yes, his present from Kat was bigger than usual, and amazing. And yes, he had Keeley's books, and everything was good. But he missed them. "Everything's just a little.... big," he said, with a sigh. "I miss Mom and Dad..." |

"But pink and blue look soo good together!" She smiled, then frowned. Oh, poor Cal. She dropped everything and walked over, enveloping him in a huge bear hug. "I'm sorry." She said softly, unsure of what to do. [[random color change...:D]] |

After things had calmed down a bit and Cal had been comforted, Kat made sure everything was all set, and went to take care of a bit of business - of course, it was really Cal's business, the two of them had needed to find Keeley's second Christmas present. Actually it was pretty much Cal wanting to keep an innocent animal from dying - as he'd explained it to her, their neighbor down the road Benjamin had horses - but he was planning on selling the farm and moving, and he needed to do something with his horses. No one was interested in a Shetland pony - he'd already tried, and failed, to find a buyer. So in lieu of putting the horse down, Cal had offered to take it, in return for him working on the farm. It was perfect - and Cal knew exactly what to do with the pony. Now, they were picking up the horse and heading home. Kat smiled at Lexie. "I'll be back," she said, "After I get Cal all set up - and then we can talk." With that, she and Calvin headed out to get the horse, and head back to England. |

"All right!" Lexie grabbed her guitar and ran off to her room to see if she could figure out any of the chords by herself. This was going to be fun! [[OOC- for the sole purpose of upping posts... :P]] |

[size=1]Kat apparated with Gigi, Keeley, and Calvin to Scotland. Lexie showed up right away, a bit surprised...but she and Gigi seemed to hit off right away, and headed up to Lexie's room to talk. Kat then turned to the other two. "Alright...do you think you're all set now? You can entertain yourselves?" She smiled. [[as said before, permission to GM Gigi has been given]][/size] |

[size=1]Keeley watched Gigi walk up the stairs, laughing slightly at the conversation, and how bouncy and hyper the girl was, and then nodded at Kat. "Yes, yes, thank you thank you thank you!" She hugged her, and then spun around on her toes, putting her hands on her hips, and staring at Cal sternly. "Nothing what, Calvin Michael Carr?" Keels narrowed her eyes at him, even though she wasn't mad, at all. She was just curious, and she could tell he wasn't going to tell her unless she pushed. The only problem was, she couldn't keep a solemn face, and she broke out in a grin.[/size] |

[size=1]After Kat had left them alone and - no doubt - headed back to England, which she now considered her home, Calvin just shrugged at Keeley. "You're beautiful, is all," he said. "Come on," he added, not wanting to linger on it unless she wanted to. "Let's go for a walk." He stuck out his hand for her to take. [/size] |

[size=1]So...yea, that wasn't the answer she was expecting, and she frowned, letting her arms drop. Well, honestly, she didn't know what she looked like, because all she could see was bits and pieces. Not her face, not the shape of her hair. Nor, did honestly, she even care. Not wanting to be shallow, or insecure, or anything, she just dropped it, shrugging a shoulder, and looked at his hand for a moment before taking it with her left. "Looks like the butterfly grew as we did too..." she commented, twisting her fingers into his. They were warm, his hands, and she looked at them together. It was so different, that she laughed. "You have big hands now." Sidetracted, she didn't really look as she started walking towards the door. "Think we'll find the Horsie again?" she smiled at Cal.[/size] |

[size=1]Cal grinned at her. "I guess it did, didn't it?" he asked, looking at it. She and him...they'd said they were in love before, but they were just eleven-year-olds, and he thought back on that with...mixed humor and loss. Because he still...he knew he still adored Keeley. And he wasn't sure how she felt. This time, however, the feelings were different. Stronger, yes, and he wasn't sure he understood them completely. They were so much more intense. He found that he wanted to run his fingers through her hair, keep his arms around her waist. But he didn't, instead he just walked with her, out the door and out into the woods. "Maybe," he said. "But I was thinking we could go back to that lake - I found a shortcut, we can get there pretty quickly from here."[/size] |

[size=1]Keeley nodded, swinging their hands still, and then finally looked up as they entered the woods. She didn’t know what was in store for them with this new…age, and maturity – for she could see how stupid it was to climb onto an unhappy moose now – she didn’t know what was going to happen, not at all. And for the first time in her life, she was slightly frightened by that. Cal right beside her though was comforting, and she just let it all go, taking a deep breath, and letting it out slowly. Whatever Cal was feeling confused Keeley, and she watched him as they walked. She didn’t know what it was, though she knew it wasn’t anything bad. Afterall, things that felt good meant good things. Anger made her feel bad, sadness the same. So therefore she documented this as good, and smiled. “Maybe it’ll be by the lake then!” She said cheerfully, moving her gaze back to the trees. Her cheeks were slightly red, excelleration, amoung other things, making her flushed. [/size] |

[size=1]He laughed, grinned, and swung their hands back and forth as they continued to walk. "Maybe," he said. They continued on for a while, him always leading the way. "Keels...are you okay with all of this? Because I think Kat's trying to find the antidote, and we can go back - if you want to. If we want to - any of us want to." He sighed. "I'm...really not sure." He was even more confused the more he looked at her - because she was amazing, and he wasn't sure why he'd never felt this way about her before. But he wanted to stay beside her forever. [/size] |

[size=1]Even his voice was deeper, more rich in tone, and she found herself staring at his mouth in wonder at the difference. Each and every change in them was a wonderment to her, and she wanted to explore all of it. Suddenly, she grinned. “Your hair is more golden now…” she told him, reaching up with her free hand to twirl a piece around her finger for a moment. She then returned her fingers down to play with her shorts, unable to stay still, for a thought popped into her mind. Seeing the sparkling water, she let go of Cal’s hand, and ran the rest of the way, periodically spinning and jumping over logs. She didn’t run into the water this time, though she remembered the trick Cal had gotten her out of last time, and climbed up onto a rock that’s edge prodded over the lake. His question left her floored, and she stood on that edge, looking down at the water. “I’m…okay with it…” she started, before smiling and pointing down to her legs, “I like these…” but then her smile faltered, and she sat down. “But I don’t wanna go back if you’re going to stay, or the other way around, and if this is what our older selves will be like, don’t you want to explore it?” she asked. “I don’t… I don’t know, really, because someday maybe we’ll be like this again, but, but look at you! We’re so much…bigger…and it’ll be a long time before we are like this again, and…” And what? She didn’t really know, and she just stopped her rambles, looking up with big eyes at Cal. Did she want to go back, after experiencing even this little bit? She took off her shoes, slowly, as she thought about it. She waited for Cal to come over to her, and laid down on her back, one leg hanging off the rock so her toes were touching the water, and the same for her hand on that side, trailing around as she attempted to stare at the sun. His question wasn't what she was thinking about anymore. [/size] |

[size=1]He shook his head, following her and sitting down beside her. He knew in that moment exactly what he wanted to do. "I'm not doing anything you're not doing, Keels," he said. "If you want to stay this age? I'm staying with you." There was no doubt in his mind at all. He was going to stay the same age as her - and he was starting to think maybe this age would be better. Because if he was suddenly eleven again, he wouldn't know what to do with his feelings. "So now what?" he asked, with a smile, reaching over to tickle her lightly. [/size] |

[size=1]Keeley smiled up at him, blinking furiously against the red dots that appeared in her eyes from looking at the bright light, and pulled her arm up to cover her eyes for a moment, as they were watering now from the light. She didn't know, nor did she really wanna make the decision to condemn them both yet. Better see if Kat could even come up with a counterpotion, and she sat her arm back down on the ground as Cal tickled her, laughing and squirming away from him as best she could without falling into the lake. The smile froze, thought, and she looked at him for a moment. What she really wanted to see? If everything was so different, if just holding his hand made her blush, what would happen... "Kiss me?"[/size] |
