Once I'd heard from Mr Wright about Athena being arrested, I was in complete shock. I knew she'd never murder anyone. Yes, I knew that Clay had been my brother's best friend, but right now, I just wanted Athena to be free.

-----------------FLASHBACK

I had been sitting on one of the sofa's in the agency looking over some old, and newer case files, that I had been so invested in, that I didn't realised the door had opened until I hear a voice, "(Y/n)? What are you doing?" I looked up at the sound, "Oh, hello, Mr Wright. Wait, where is everyone else?"

"Trucy's been kidnapped and being held hostage at the Space Centre and Athena's been arrested for Clay's murder, and as you know, Apollo left."

"Oh-Wait, did you say Athena got arrested?!"

"Yeah, unfortunately, I in trying to prove that someone else bar Mr Starbuck could have killed Clay, I accidentally made Athena a suspect."

"WHAT?! You know how I fell about her and I'll tell you this, if you weren't my superior, then I would have punched you by now."

He sighed, "I guess that's one difference between you and Apollo."

I was slightly confused, "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well, when I first met your brother, he ended up punching me after the trial," he replied rubbing the back of his neck. I was in shock, I had never seen Apollo punch anyone, although he did look like he wanted to punch Prosecutor Gavin several times, but he hadn't actually.

---------------------END OF FLASHBACK

I was so glad and relieved when Athena was free and she stepped foot back in the agency. I had been sitting on the sofa, head in my hands with worry, it was already past nine o'clock and no one had returned. That was when the door opened and Mr Wright came in, a sad look on his face, "(Y/n), what are you still doing here?"

"Waiting for you. Where are the others? Why do you look so glum?"

"A-about that, (Y/n), something happened and you're probably going to hate me for this but-"

"Please don't tell me you let Apollo get arrested too?! Or that he was murdered too!"

I saw the look of shock on his face as he blinked several times, "O-okay, guys, you can come in now." The door to the agency opened and Athena, Trucy and my brother all came through. I smiled knowing this meant that the case was all cleared up. I smiled widely and ran up to them, going straight to Athena and hugging her, crying on her shoulder, "I'm so glad you're free. So, so glad."

"Hey, (Y/n). I know you love Athena, but do I not even get a hello?"

I felt my face go bright red and I turned to Apollo, "Well, I would have given you a 'hello', but one you left me alone, I've been panicking this whole time, I'm your sister, Apollo you're supposed to look after me! And two, certainly not after you just spilled the one fact I made you swear to secrecy about!" I then remembered something, "Now that I think about it, now I get to tell Prosecutor Gavin about your massive crush on him!" Without a second thought I was out the agency.

------------------

"No."

"(Y/n), you're coming to the agency, and you're saying 'Merry Christmas' to everyone."

"And I said 'I'm not coming'. You can't make me do stuff if I don't want to, Polly."

"Are you still being difficult cause I spilt your secret?"

"No. That's not it. I just don't want to go."

"(Y/n), I will drag you if I have to. You love Christmas, usually, you'd be hopping down at the first chance you got, this is about Athena isn't it?"

"No, it's not. Now you need to get down to the agency, or you won't get your Christmas present."

"You won't get yours unless you come."

I smirked, "You think I'm that dumb, Polly? I asked Trucy to bring it for me. I'm not going to the agency."

--------------------

"POLLY! I told you I didn't want to come!"

"Well, we're here now, and you can't get home without me so you'll just have to stay."

I  sighed and pouted, "Fine." as he opened the door, "Mr Wright, we're here."

"Polly! (Y/n)!"

I smiled as Trucy came up and hugged both of us, an elf hat on her head. I returned her hug, before she let me go. I walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Daddy, now that Polly and (Y/n) are here, can we do presents?"

"I don't see why not. Who wants to go first?"

What we'd done is we'd decided to do a Secret Santa, that way it saved money and it meant that everyone got something, not that we wouldn't have down so anyway.

"I'll give mine first, here you go Trucy."

She took the box from Apollo and quickly unwrapped it, revealing more magic supplies, "Thank you, Polly!"

"You're welcome Truce."

"I wanna give mine next, Daddy, I got you." She pulled out a box and handed it to him. Mr Wright unwrapped the box and thanked Trucy, "Thank you, Trucy, I suppose we should just continue around the circle, so I'll go next, I got Athena, so here you go."

Athena unwrapped it eagerly and smiled at the contents, thanking Mr Wright before turning to me, "(Y/n)! I got you! Merry Christmas!" She was in such a bouncy mood and I was thankful for it as I guessed that it meant that she'd forgotten what Apollo had said a few days prior. However she walked up to me, but I was slightly confused when she didn't have a box in her hand, but just sat down beside me, "Here's your gift," she spoke, leaning in and kissing me. I was shocked, but kissed her back. When she broke off she smiled at me and leaned into my ear, "I'm you gift. Do you like it?" I smiled widely and nodded, "Yes. I thought you'd hate me after what Apollo blurted out and that' why I've been ignoring you, but I'm happy that's not the case." After that, she just snuggled up on my lap and rested her head on my shoulder, "I love you, (Y/n)."

"I love you too, Thena, but I guess there's still one gift left actually. Polly, I got you. Ad you can see though, like Athena, it's not wrapped up, that's because your gift should be arriving in, 3... 2... 1.."

There was a knock on the door and I nodded to Apollo to go and open the door, a massive smirk on my face. He rolled his eyes and stood up walking to the door of the agency, opening it. I could sense that he wanted to close it the minute he saw who was standing there, "Gavin, what are you doing here?"

"Well, Herr Forehead, a little bird told me about you having a crush on me, is it true?"

I could tell Apollo's face was red and he was stuttering, "W-well, may I-I ask who that bird was?"

"That is confidential, Herr Forehead. The bird's identity is between me and said bird, but answer my question, Herr Forehead." This was his breaking point and he grabbed Prosecutor Gavin's suit jacket, pulling him closer, and kissed him, him kissing back. I coughed, gaining their attention, "Would you two stop this please? No one wants to see that."

Apollo let him go and turned to me, "It was no problem when it was you and Athena, and I didn't say anything then. Were you the 'little bird' that told him?"

"Maybe, maybe not," I replied, snuggling myself back into Athena. Best Christmas ever.
