[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

A/N: Merry LATE christmas. I know Christmas was like a few days ago,
but hey at least its still the month of christmas. Ho ho ho! I hope
you all had a great christmas. Well the people that celebrate
christmas and for the ones that don't: Happy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa or
other. Oh thank you Sailor Lethe for sending in the question. Its the
Dib one.

Mina skipped down the halls of the radio station with a broad smile
plastered on her face and a feeling of one hundred and ten percent
happiness. This was just a great day. Nothing could make this go
wrong. Nothing at all.

Behind her were the three gentlemen she worked with. They weren't as
happy as her. In fact, they all looked pretty grim. Except Heero, he
always looks grim.

"I can't believe were working on Christmas eve." Rowen muttered and
then gestured lazily at Mina. "And she's happy about it."

Sage looked over at Rowen. "Look what she's making me wear." He
pointed at the Santa hat on his head. "Why me? Why not you?"
"Cause I told her what I got her for Christmas."

Sage uttered some unheard things and the three continued to the
studio.

"So Heero why are you so down tonight?" Rowen asked.

Heero eyed him. "Something's going to happen. I'm just concentrating
on what it might be. Boss jinx us with her cheeriness."

Heero separated from Rowen and Sage and entered the room with Cye.
Soon after Rowen and Sage entered the room with Mina, who was spinning
in her chair.

"I LOVE Christmas!" She exclaimed, stopping just as Rowen sat down.
She started right back up while singing something. "Its 10:35 and 11
is next. Soon then 12 and I'll get a gift." She stopped again this
time facing Sage. "Hey Sage, what'd you get me for Christmas?"
"If I tell you will you let me take this hat off?"
"Sure!"

"All right." Sage walked over near her seat and whispered it in her
ear. He was sitting there for sometime and Rowen was wondering what it
is he was saying.

The next reaction was Mina's eyes widen and she pinched Sage hard in
the arm. "That's nasty!"

Sage rubbed his arm and put the red hat on her head. "You asked." He
got up and went near the door.

"We don't have any guest tonight." Cye explained from the other room.
"I didn't bother with them. Last's weeks little problem with the
wonder twins put us on probation with the N.R.D.S.."
"N.R.D.S.?" Rowen repeated, "What's that?"
"The National Radio District Service." Cye answered. "They said we
can't have guest for the next two shows and if anything like last week
happens again we'll never be able to have guest again."
"You're own NOW!" Heero yelled.

"Hello to you all late listeners. This is Late Night Chat and its
Christmas eve!" Mina greeted. "YAY! Rowen, our news for today."
"Malls: Packed. Streets: Jammed. Grocery stores: Empty. The fact that
there is a mistletoe over Mina's head thanks to a strange guy right
behind you: Priceless. Remember everyone, the bad people don't quit on
Christmas, and neither does the good."

Mina rolled her eyes upward and then her head. There was nothing
there. "Hey Rowen there's nothing-" A small box fell in Mina's lap.
"Sage?"
Sage was half sleep on the wall before he snapped back awake, "What?"
"Where are you?"
"On the wall. Why?"

"Then who's this?" Mina pointed up at whoever was up there.
Sage looked at the guy and walked into Mina's eye view. "Its that guy
with the hair."
Mina cocked an eyebrow. "That guy with the hair?"
"Yeah, he's got hair and he has pokemon."
"Ash Ketchum?"
"Noooo. Not him. That one dude. Ugh..Ro, you tell her. Ro?" Sage
looked and Rowen was gone, "Where'd he go?"
"The guy please."
"Why don't you tell her who you are man?" Sage begged. "I can't think
straight."

"Its RYOGA!"
"NO!" Sage replied. "Its the guy that tried to cut me in half! BROCK!
That's his name!"

Mina blinked and turned around. "Hi!"

Brock smiled at her. "Hello!"

Mina looked from left to right. "Hello."
Brock smiled again. "Hi!"

Mina looked down and then up. "What's up?"
Brock blinked at her, but still smiled. "Howdy!'

Mina looked at her lap and picked up the little box. "Is this yours?
You dropped it on me."
Sage finally snapped back to reality. "Hey how'd you get in here?"
"You don't have a guard on duty." He answered.

"What am I? Chopped liver?"
"Hey Sage where is everyone?" Mina noticed that Rowen, Heero, and Cye
were all missing from the scene.

"Well, unlike me they can just leave you here. I have to stay, so
can't tell you."
"Open the box Mina." Brock urged.

"But its not twelve. Its only eleven."
"Still open the box."

"I don't want to break tradition. I'll wait." Mina sat the box on the
desk and turned to her mike. "How about some calls?"

Brock leaned against the wall and Sage came up next to him. "What's in
the box?"
"Nothing."

"Then why do you want her to open it so much if its just nothing?"
"Its nothing for you to be concerned about."
Sage nodded understanding completely. "Marriage proposal.
Understandable." He sat down in Rowen's seat. Just as the phone rang.

"You're own the air, how can I help you? Say has anyone seen Ryoga in
a the last week?" Mina asked.

"He got lost going to bathroom." Sage answered absently.

Mina glared at him. "That wasn't funny."
"And I wasn't joking." Sage replied, returning the glare.

Mina lost her glare. "Oh caller. What's your question?"

"Yes my name is Dib and I have some news to tell you."

"Well go ahead."

"There's an alien from another galaxy trying to destroy earth. Can you
guys help me stop him I'm desperate! He's desperate cause no one
believes him."

Mina looked at Sage, then at Brock, then back at Sage and blinked.
"What am I suppose to tell him?" She whispered. She had the mike
covered so the caller wouldn't hear.

Sage shrugged. "I don't know. Tell him you believe him."

Mina thought on that for a moment and agreed. "Hey, Dib. I believe
you."

"You do?"
"Yeah and so does Sage."
"Really!?" Dib sounded excited. "Then could you send him here to help
me catch the alien?"
"But if he leaves I'm going to be lonely." Mina replied. "Everyone
else disappeared."
"Hello! I'm right here." Brock said.
"Well can you send him?"
"Maybe another day." Mina smiled. "Bye." She then pressed another
button. "Hello, you're own the air."

"I love your bodyguard. Can I have him?"
Mina shook her head. "I don't get you people. How many times has this
question been asked?"

Sage pulled out a little notepad and flipped through it. "Number of
times someone has asked to take me home: 346."

"Where the hell did that come from?" Mina pointed at the notepad.

Sage handed it to her. "With all the calls, the guys and I started
marking down how many times someone asked you to take one of us home.
And we also started marking down how many times someone's hit on you."

Mina nodded understanding while looking in the notepad. "Wow! Cye:
335; Rowen: 341; You: 346; Heero: 355! "

"Turn the page." Sage ordered.

Mina did so. "How many times someone's hit on Mina." She read. She
looked at the number and fell out her chair. "827 times!"

"You have a lot of fans Mina." Brock noted. "But none of them compare
to me."

"Just don't say that around Heero and you'll live to see the day you
get married." Mina warned.

"Ugh....hello!" The caller interrupted.

"What?" Mina asked.

"Well can I?"
"Hey what's your name?" Sage asked. Mina cocked an eyebrow at him and
he caught it. "Not that you can take me home or anything like that."

"Oh my name's Jesse. Jesse of team rocket!"

Brock slipped off the wall and the other two people in the room heard
a loud thud. "I'm okay." He stood up and dusted himself off.

"Well Jesse you can't have Sage." Mina explained. "So ha!"
"Oh! I will have Sage!" Jesse growled. There was a click and then a
dial tone.

Mina stared at the phone for a brief second then looked at the clock
on the wall then back at the phone. She then shrugged and hung it up.
"Was that strange or what?"

"Strange." Sage replied. "We have no guest tonight. What are we gonna
do?" He yawned and rested his head on the seat.

"What am I?" Brock asked. "A shadow?"

"We're not suppose to have any guest tonight. We got in trouble with
the N.R.D.S. because of last week's incident with the Wonder Twins."
Sage explained.

"So all we can do is answer phone calls." Mina stared at the phone.
"OR we can call people. Quick Sage, give me your little black book."

Sage gave her a perplexed expression, but handled over the black book.
She started flipping through the pages. "Hmm? Can I call Stacey?"

"I don't care." Sage answered. "Whatever you do don't call L.D."
"Who's L.D.?" Brock and Mina asked at the same time.
"None of your business." Sage said bluntly.

Mina gave up and started dialing on the phone. It rang a couple of
times before someone picked up.

"Hello?" Came a woman's voice.

"Yes, is this Stacey...ugh..Stacey," Mina looked in the book.
"Roberts!"

"Yes. Who's this?"
"This is Mina Aino, and you just won a car." Mina covered her mouth
and started giggling as the girl on the other line went crazy.

"Oh my gosh! What kind of car?"
"Ugh...a new Lexus!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH" This screaming continued for some time. "Thank you! Oh
my, am I on the air?"

"Yes." Mina answered. She trying to hold her laughter in.
"Can I give a shout out?"

"Go ahead."

"I like the world to know that Sage Date is my lover."

Sage hung is head down and shook it, "Oh God..." He sighed. "I can't
believe she just did that."

"Sage?" Stacey called. "What are you doing there?"

"He's gonna bring you the car." Mina lied. "So any request for music."

"Oh yeah, I wanna hear Ja Rule's new song."
"Okay. Bye." Mina hung up and finally let out the laugh. "That was so
fun. I can't believe she actually thought she won a car."
"Mina, we're still on the air and she can hear you." Sage pointed out.

Mina blinked and her eyes went wide as she remembered that little
detail. "Whoops! Oh well." She started humming as she went through
Sage's little black book. She selected a number and dialed it.

A woman picked up. "Hello?"

Mina grinned and started. "Yes is this L.D.?"
Sage snapped a look at her. "I told you not to call her."
"Why?"

"Hang up!"

"Sage?" the woman called

"Hang up!" Sage begged. "For the love of GOD, hang up!"

Mina only stared at him. "Hey is she married!?"
"What's going on? Sage, who are you talking to? You know I'm married."

It got very quiet after that and Mina looked at Sage with wide eyes
and he was staring at the phone with the same expression. Brock found
this very funny and was on the floor laughing.

Mina's expression changed to one of accusing.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooo." She teased, "Sage is getting busy with a
married woman. I'm telling."

Sage reached over and hung the phone up. He snatched his black book
away from Mina and put it in his pocket. "I hate you."
"I'm not the one sleeping with married people."
"You're not sleeping with anyone period." Sage spat back. "Damn
virgin."

Mina folded her arms. "Don't rub it in." She pouted. "Anyways
according to you I'm not going to be one after Christmas."

"I'm not really gonna do that. I brought you a watch." Sage replied.
"But hey maybe Brock's willing to help pop your cherry."
Mina picked up the closes thing to her, which was a book, and tossed
it at Sage. "This conversation is over."

Sage nodded rubbing his head where the book collided. "I agree."

Rowen burst back in the room. First he shook his head and then he
started talking. "Okay, I have some great something for you, Mina.
Come on."
"I'm still on the air." She explained.

"Here!" He tossed her a headset. "Put that on and you'll still be on
the air." He tossed her a cell phone as well. "This is how the callers
are gonna get. All the calls well get directly sent to this phone."

"How'd you-"
"Never question a genus." Sage said getting up.

Mina stood up as well and ran into the hall. "Hey Brock you want to
join us in where ever were going?"

"Sure!" he replied.

The four people walked down the hall.

"Hey did you guys know that Sage is sleeping with a married woman?"
Mina informed.

Sage pushed Mina from behind and she stumbled forward. "Stop telling
everyone."

"You're a bad boy, Sage Date, and the world should know that."
"Just because you're not having intercours doesn't mean you have to
ruin it for me and I'm not sleeping with her. I simply help her
meditate."

Mina turned to him and gave him a bored look. "Yeah, sure while she's
screaming your name. OH SAGE! YEAH! I'M IN TOUCH WITH MY INNER SPIRIT
NOW! YEAH I SEE THE LIGHT!"

By now they were in the next room with Heero and Cye, who snapped
looks at the door when they heard Mina's...well...interesting screams.

"What was all that screaming for?" Cye asked.

Rowen waved the question away. "You don't want to know."
"Okay, so what's this big surprise?" Mina asked. She wasn't looking at
them instead she was dialing on the cell phone. She put the phone to
her ear. "Hey, hi! Yeah, I know I did just call...So hey are you
really sleeping with him? BYE!" Mina hung up and started jumping up
and down while pointing at Sage. "You are sleeping with her! Ha! You
are!"

"Yes, virgin Mary I am." Sage scowled. "Now stop telling everyone."

"Hey her name's Mina." Brock corrected.

Sage eyed Brock. "I know that."

Mina glanced at the clock on the wall. "Hey its not twelve."
Everyone in the room blinked at her. "So?"

"That means were not suppose to open any presents up."
"Look little Miss Angel. No one cares." Cye replied. "Close your
eyes."

Mina did so and Heero came up behind her and put a blind fold on her
eyes.

"Hey! I have my eyes close." she protested.

"Just in case, boss." Heero explained.

Rowen pointed at the door. "All right forward march."
They all walked down the hall and Rowen answered the calls since Mina
couldn't see the talk button on the phone.

"Who's this Stacey girl? And why is she bitching about she wants her
car and her man back?"
Brock decided to inform Rowen on that. "Oh Mina pulled a little joke
on a caller and Sage is her man, I guess."
Sage folded his arms. "I dumped her a looooooooooonnng time ago."

"Okay. We're here." Heero pulled off the blind fold.

Mina rubbed her eyes and looked around. "Okay where is it?"
Cye pointed forward. "You see that little silver thing in front of
you."

Mina looked at what was in front of her and started jumping up and
down. "Oh a car! You guys got me a car. And a its a Porsche! Thank
you." Cye tossed her the keys and she ran over to it. "All right! I'll
be back!" She jumped in the car and started it up.

"Wait!" Brock ran over there. "Will you marry me?"

Mina looked up at him. "I would, but I really don't know you that
well. How about this though: I'll go out with you on New Years' and
well see what happens?"

Brock shrugged. "That'll work. Have fun."

Mina closed the door and sped off.

Cye looked at Heero. "She still had the headset on, didn't she?"
He nodded. "Yep!" he then started walking towards his own car, a
Ferrari. "I'll follow her."
Rowen jumped in the passenger seat and Cye and Brock jumped in the
back. Sage had gotten on his motorcycle.

"Let's all follow her." Cye offered. "So I can get my headset back.
That thing was seven hundred dollars."

Sage looked at Cye. "Is money the only thing you care about?"

"No, sea creatures. Can't never forget the sea creatures."

"Right, of course, can't forget them." Sage sped off following the
Porsche with Heero not to far behind.

A/N: Hey, nothing went wrong except for Sage, but hey that's his
problem. I know all about Sage's real personality and how he's
terrified of girls/women. If you haven't noticed everyone's a little
out of character. Well at least we all know Cye still cares for his
little fish friends. About one more chapter and its all over! Now you
cry. Its not Christmas anymore.
