They all hung up and Ricky quickly left the mall, to then get on his skateboard going back to his house, when he arrived he quickly told his dad about Ashlyn and Nini coming over to help him with his gift for EJ, he then quickly went to his room and started to look for his notebook where he previously wrote songs, and was glad to see that there was still some empty pages in it.

He then took out his guitar and started tuning it and by the time it was ready, he heard the doorbell, which meant that Nini and Ashlyn had arrived, he went downstairs and let them in, seeing how Big Red decided to tag along, just so he could hear the song. The three of them said hi to Mike, and quickly followed Ricky into his room so Nini and Ashlyn start helping him write the song, while Big Red just hanged out with them.

THE NEXT DAY

As for EJ Caswell... he also was having a bit of trouble thinking what he should get for Ricky, even though he already got him some notebooks in case he wrote more songs, and even a new skateboard in case something happened to the one Ricky was currently using, he still felt as if he could give him something more, so now, he's walking through the mall, accompanied by Gina and Seb.

EJ: seriously, thank you for coming to help me guys, I really apreciate it.

Seb: no problem EJ, anything to help maintain RJ Caswen alive is fine by me *laughs*

Gina: I didn't have much choice actually, you basically dragged me when you started leaving, but still, happy to help you.

EJ laughed at both of those comments, while still looking at what he could give to Ricky.

Seb: but I don't understand why you want to give him another gift, you already have the skateboard and the notebooks for him, so why do you need another one?

EJ: because I feel like it's not enough, I know he would rather be with me on christmas instead of me getting him some gifts, but it's been a wonderful year for us, and I want to prove how much he means to me!

Gina and Seb looked at each other smiling understanding EJ's reasoning, they may not be the type of people to buy a lot of gifts, but still understood what he meant.

Gina: then why don't you get another thing that's related to music, but not too big? Like a guitar pick

EJ suddenly stops

EJ: ...why didn't I think of that? *starts running towards the nearest music shop*

Gina and Seb quickly followed him, and once the three of them got to the music shop, they started looking through some guitar picks, none of them were convincing EJ, until he spotted one that he loved, and was very sure that Ricky would love as well.

EJ: excuse me *the employee walks to him* how much does that one cost? *points to the guitar pick he wants*

Employee: it's $$ (I'm not gonna bother with the price) it's a tiny bit expensive than others because this one is also a necklace

EJ: *smiles* I'll take it!

Employee: all right! *takes the guitar pick, walks to the counter, and places it in a box* do you intend to start playing guitar, or is this for someone else?

EJ: it's for my boyfriend *smiles*, he enjoys playing the guitar so I thought this would be perfect for him.

The employee simply smiled and then handed the box to EJ, who quickly payed for the guitar pick.

Employee: hope your boyfriend loves it

EJ: thanks!

The three of them left the music shop and started making their way outside of the mall towards EJ's car.
