Wally was the first one up on Christmas morning. He dashed into the TV room. Toby was already in there. He was sleeping on the only present marked 'Wally'.
"I asked for no presents!" Wally screamed. Kacey came downstairs. Toby whined.
"What the heck Wally?" Kacey asked. Everyone else came in all grumpy. Kuki however lightened up when she got there. She ripped open the biggest present first.
"What?" Kuki screamed. "Santa! I didn't want Rainbow Monkeys for the XBOX I want it for the Wii!" Kacey sighed.
"Kuki, what's the difference?" Kacey asked. "It's the same game."
"That's what you think!" Kuki screamed. "The Wii version has the mode where you don't defeat Evil Monkey! You just befriend him!" Kacey and Wally let out groans. Fighting games were their thing.
Abby's present were all CD box sized. She was happy with each one. Hoagie only had one present. It was coupons. Hundreds of coupons. Coupons for food. Kacey and Wally each grabbed a present. They simultaneously groaned seeing they each got a Rainbow Monkey. Being cousins, they have the same likes and dislikes. Kacey's was a Ninja Rainbow Monkey. She set it down in disgust. Wally's was orange with a yellow bowl cut like his. But on the tag that was marked 'Wally' the back wasn't signed Santa. It was signed 'Love, Kuki'. Wally looked over at Kuki. She pulled out a Rainbow Monkey with a yellow stripe over its green. She screamed. Wally laughed. He hugged the Rainbow Monkey. Kacey caught him.
"What on Earth are you doing?" Kacey asked looking at the Rainbow Monkey. "And why does it look like you?" Wally freaked out. He put the Rainbow Monkey down. Kacey laughed. Toby's present was a little Red and Blue tennis ball.
That night they all had Christmas dinner. Hoagie ate almost all of the Turkey. Wally had the urge to do something. Toby ran off with Kacey's turkey leg.
"Hey!" She shouted. "Give that back!" Toby ran over by the big porch. Kacey chased him. She pulled the turkey leg from Toby. Then she looked out the window. What she saw was magnificent. She stared at it for a long time.
"Guys," Kacey said. "You might wanna come look at this." Everyone came over and everyone stared.
"Holy crud." Wally said reaching for Kuki's hand. When he held it. She didn't mind at all. Thanks, Santa. He thought. Kuki stared at the night sky for a while.
Connected by lines, the stars spelt out a message. "Merry Christmas, I miss you." It said. Kacey couldn't believe it. Nigel had sent them a Merry Christmas message. Using stars! Everyone felt happy. It really was a Merry Christmas for the Kids Next Door.
