The season of thanks had come to pass and with it the shopping rush that came with the so called decadent holidays of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Families were cleaning up as their relatives headed home to return to work and their own lives. The Fox family was one such family who was recovering from the onslaught of the Thanksgiving reunion. Josh and Stuart headed the family with two adopted kids, one of each gender. The pair of males had been in union for some time and was never ostracized by their kin.

However the kids were not so lucky. Not wholly canine in make the duo was a pair of foxes but mixed with squirrel. Many could not tell they were not related unless they inquired about the matter but was the differentiation in fur was a giveaway. The younger pair was a light tone of pink while the two parents were more conservative colors of gray and tan. The fathers were very much of the typical fox and wolf breed.

At 12 years of age the brother and sister were very much your typical cubs. Closer than your average brother and sister the two found affinity in each other since they were adopted. They both shared in what many would consider a broken childhood but since being picked up by their parents, their lives had vastly improved. Even when their parents had asked if they wanted separate rooms, the siblings simply declined.

The family was by no means lower class so they had room to spare when they were adopted several years ago. Now with the full front of the holidays facing them the family faced new challenges they they dealt with every year. Other than the growing chill of the air, the parents had to deal with the difficulty that came with purchasing gifts. They were all about surprises and asked for little more than list from each of the siblings.

Whenever they requested to go shopping with one or the other alone, the siblings declined. As of late the pair had been working extra hard on chores in order to save extra money and buy their parents something nice. The plan was rather simple but thoughtful, they were going to combine their cash and buy both fathers something they could share in. Recently the wolf and fox had argued over not having enough room on the sofa.

The siblings agreed that there was an easy solution. The local furniture shop had a deal on couch that could be placed in the living room. It was a reclining piece that usually went for over $300 but was being discounted to be replaced by the latest more tech savvy piece with all the newest bells in whistles. As an additional incentive there was free delivery, which the cubs knew was necessary if their plan was to be a successful one.

It took a few weeks before they were able to save up the money necessary for the furniture. Fortunately the shop was but a short trip from their home so they didn't even need to ask for a ride to the location. The siblings made a date for a day after school since the middle school had yet to let out for the holidays and the fathers were likely still at work. After school was over that Wednesday they put their plan into action.

The school bell rang and the "Pink Blur" raced out of the school building. His sister was not as fast, nor as rambunctious as he was but still was looking forward to the ordeal. It was finally a chance for them to show how appreciative they were of their parents. Beau waited outside in the cold winter setting. The two had rather heavy coats on since it was the middle of winter and a snow storm had recently hit so there was more snow collected than on a normal day. Fortunately the city plows did a good job keeping the streets clear.

Once Belle had joined her brother, the pair collected their bikes before trying to fight with the traffic exiting the school. It was lighter than usual since many parents and guardians had opted to pick their kids up. The siblings didn't have that choice since both of their fathers worked until later and regardless it worked to benefit their purpose. Once on their bikes they made quick work of the travel as the distance from school to the store was short. Beau was the first to arrive at the store as he was always the more energetic of the two.

The sister joined shortly after and they were shown in by salesman. The showroom was quite dead and devoid of activity. However the inside was a welcome change in climate. The heat was on high and it was quite toasty, so much so that the pair was tempted to stash their jackets on a rack for safe keeping. The woman who was their guide soon offered them a hot chocolate in order to warm their bodies as each of them was shivering from the change in temperature.

After the siblings war warmed up the goal changed to their purpose for being here.

"We are looking for a reclining chair that our parents can share to relax." Belle was short and to the point with their intention.

"What kind of budget do you two have to work with?" The salesman asked looking them over in disbelief that kids this young could afford furniture.

"We have $150 between the two of us. I saw a piece you guys had on sale." Belle pulled her backpack over her shoulder before looking into it.

The pink squirrel-fox flitted her tail as she searched for the advertisement. It took several moments before she was able to find it. After discovering it she showed it to the employee and pointed at the piece she had in mind.

"Ah the Canapé Roi. It's good that you came for it, we only have 2 remaining and they are selling quite fast." The man began to walk down the runway of the show room leading the way to where the chair was.

Towards the end of the show room was a sign that showed Clearance on it's bright yellow paper in large black font. Many pieces adorned the blue tarp that covered the floor. Near the left side was two chairs that seemed similar to the one advertised. The siblings were soon brought to them. One was jet black while the other was more of a navy blue. Beau took it upon himself to test it out by plopping on top of it without permission.

Belle couldn't help but muffle a giggle and roll her eyes.

"Please be gentle with the merchandise." The showman requested the boy to settle down.

The brother used his right paw to punch in the button to kick out the footrest. It resulted in him a quick flick of the mechanism. It even had a reclining aspect which was triggered by the controller. Belle spied it hanging off the side and quickly rushed over to push the button. Her brother lay flat down as her giggle became harder to control.

"Kids...please settle down before I'm going to have to show you out." The employee was more threatening this time.

This warning caught them off guard and ended their playful streak with the pair putting the chair back upright.

"Sorry...we'll behave." Belle gave a death stare to her brother who soon exited the sofa.

"Alright...well each of these are $75. Did you want both?" The man was looking to get rid of both in one sale since his salary was partially based on commission.

"I don't think we can afford both with tax and all can we?" Belle crossed her arms and scratched her head deep in thought.

"We can extend the employee discount to you guys and deliver them this weekend. Does that sound good?" The man was very keen on getting rid of them.

"That sounds great! Thank you very much." Belle leaped across and hugged the man in a show of gratitude.

Though it was a sweet gesture of appreciation, the hug caught him off guard. Eventually she budged off him for him to move. The man collected their contact information and led them to the cashier to get them on their way. Beau was shortly behind as he got one more playful bounce on a nearby bed before pouncing off of it.

At the checkout the salesman handed an invoice to the cashier as the siblings fished out the money out of their pockets. Once they paid for the pieces they were given a receipt and set up a day for delivery. Coincidentally enough they would be able to deliver by the next day. It was a welcome offer. It seemed the family would be able to celebrate early. Now all that was left was going home, so Beau and Belle collected their jackets before exiting the store.

The salesman waved a quick goodbye before wishing them well. The siblings made their way back and managed to brave the snow a second time back towards their home. The journey was a bit longer than the one from the school to the store since the mall was further removed from town than it should have been. After they arrived home the pair couldn't help themselves but rush inside as the bitter cold was getting much to harsh on their body even with their thick fur.

Belle felt happy about the purchase even if the two of them were broke now, she felt like they had gotten a good deal out of it. Now both of the fathers would have a chair which they could each have their own. Even more surprising, Beau didn't complain about it. Inside the pair of squirrel-foxes went about their normal day busying themselves with their homework. Tomorrow would be the day of reckoning and would tell them whether there plan had worked or not. Belle could only hope that this would be the case.

The rest of the night went like normal. They shared dinner and had a lovely family get together. Occasionally Belle and Beau smirked at each other because they knew the secret they planned to spring on the parents. Eventually such gazes were caught by the two fathers.

"What are you two hiding?" The lupine father looked at his sons who fought back muffled laughing.

"Nothing Dad, we promise!" Belle was the first to act as she knew Beau was far from good at hiding the truth.

"Uh-huh I don't believe you. Are you planning some sort of mischief?" Stuart wrapped his arms defensively knowing something was up.

"Really, Dad. Well...maybe but we don't want to spoil it alright?" The sister figured this was enough to satiate his curiosity.

"Very well...But if it's something vile, then consider yourself warned." The wolf was rather strict and didn't like very much being the target of jokes.

"Oh relax, Stew. They probably have something planned for the holidays." The vulpine father was much more positive about their kids intent.

This caught Belle off guard and made her gasp before she covered her maw. Josh smirked back at her before winking as if he could see right through her.

The family finished the rest of their fine meal together and shared some conversation about their day but the issue at hand remained silent for the rest of the night. It was fortunate especially since Belle thought maybe they suspected something. But because it wasn't brought up again the concern soon left her mind and let her attend to more frivolous things. After helping cleaning up the siblings retired to their room to spend some time playing games.

Beau decided it was Belle's turn to pick since she was the one who placated the father's curiosity. She decided on a simple game of splatoon which while it wasn't her favorite she knew that both she and her brother enjoyed it. Grinning she decided to make it interesting.

"The loser of the first 3 rounds can't sleep in any clothing." She said with a sly look to her face figuring she would be the one to come out on top.

Shooting games were far from the boys forte but he never turned down a challenge.

"Your on!" The brother puffed up his chest and plopped himself down in front of the console.

The nintendo switch powered on as the title screen rolled past. It took some time before the game showed the character selection screen. Each chose their premade character and the match began. The first round was a show of rainbow and liquid all over the screen. The victor was declared with the "queen" of the hill being called, Belle had won the first round. Beau secretly planned his revenge and on the second round he aimed for a special weapon which afforded him a one shot kill. Pride filled his inside as he tried to hold back his squeal of victory.

"Heh...you won't be so lucky next time. Don't be so full of yourself." Belle warned her brother playfully.

This time the round stock was set to three with no power-ups being allowed. Beau tried to use the advantage of having higher ground but Belle was not so easy to trick into falling into this trap. She sloped behind him and scored the first blow. They were returned to the starting point to start again. This time Beau decided to sit and wait setting up what he thought was a good defense. But once again he was bested by the stealth and expertise of his sister who scored another flank shot. He only had one life left and he needed to make it count.

This time he decided to take a turret. Belle was much more conservative about approaching him this time knowing full well he would be even more conservative than before. She knew he would eventually lose his patience. Before long he gave in, bulleting in towards the center arena and spraying paint everywhere. All that was needed was a single shot as the winner was declared. The pink colored character with the text "Winner" showed Belle was the one who came out on top. She had won and the look on her face was very much indicative of that.

"I win...now off with the clothes and too bed!" Belle smirked as she tried to hold herself

"Aw...do I have to?" Beau tried to weasel his way out of it.

"You agreed...don't be such a spoiled sport." The sister crossed her arms defensively.

"Fine..." The brother sulked and moped about before putting down the controller.

It was getting late so Belle decided it was time to hit the hay and busied herself readying for bed. Beau in the meanwhile went about stripping himself as he was instructed. Even though the two had seen each other naked, it was still awkward for him. By the time his sister returned he was fully naked and she couldn't help but smirk at him. She plopped down on the bed before patting it, signalling for him to join at her side.

They always slept together even though they had separate beds. Beau decided to make fun of it and canon-balled himself onto the bed resulting in her being jolted forward. Once they settled back down Belle rested her arm over the boy and nuzzled into him. Eventually they dozed off as it had been a long day and they were exhausted from both school and the errand they ran. Sweet dreams of childlike bliss flowed into their minds to entertain them before waking up.

Morning came with the two waking up early in the morning despite no alarm being had. It was the weekend and they knew the delivery would be any time. Belle looked at her phone and saw a text from the salesman with the time delivery estimate showing 9am. Looking at the time it seemed they had an hour to get things ready. Belle picked herself up in a frenzy rousing Beau up by playfully shoving him off the bed with a loud thud.

"Hey..no fair..." Beau grunted in despair.

"Come on...we don't have time to dilly-dally. Get dressed." Belle commanded as she threw the boy some clothes to cover his lack of modesty.

Beau eventually came around. Fortunately the parents were both busy making breakfast so the two siblings began to move around the furniture in the living room. They arranged the larger portions of the two long couches so that they connected and made an L shape. After that was finished the pair worked on repositioning the television so that it was in the center of the room, so that every seat would be able to see the screen. Both of them worked hard and in no time the deed was done.

It was a rushed effort especially since the two were hungry. A quick shout called the siblings into the kitchen. Josh had prepared some waffles and sausage meanwhile Stuart was cutting some fruit and squeezing fresh Orange juice. The siblings sat down and eyed each other with a smirk. Looking at the clock it seemed there was but 15 minutes before the arrival was estimated. Once the meal was divvied up the family shared in dining.

By the meals end there was a knock at the door.

"We'll get it!" Beau and Belle rushed to get to the door before their parents could.

The two men were curious as to the sudden rush to answer the door. Little did they know that the siblings plan was paying off. Once the fathers overheard some noise they entered into the room to see what was going on. What they saw astounded them. While the furniture movers were not done it was very clear was was happening.

"You did this for us?" Josh asked almost in tears.

"How did you afford this?" Stuart folded his arms suspecting some backdoor dealings had gone one.

"We used our allowances don't worry." Belle explained in order to divert his suspicion.

"Wow...that was very kind" Stuart didn't take long to cave in putting his arm over Josh watching in stalwart approval.

Once the ordeal was over the parents tipped the movers. Each man had his own chair now and they no longer had to quarrel over the space. The space between the chairs could easily accommodate the twins. They joined in a family hug exchanging a long sense of embrace. It was truly a moment of holiday bliss. There plan had worked and the true meaning of the holidays had been achieved.

"Happy Holidays Dad." Beau and Belle wished in tandem.
