The Universe's Mixer

Jack had spent the morning fighting the crowds to shop for something for Zatanna. Her mention of buying herself presents to put under the tree had sparked an idea in him. So, after going through the awkward moments with trying to explain to a salesgirl that he was shopping for a woman that was not a girlfriend but a friend and getting some advice, he'd come away with a nice burgundy scarf and a pair of gloves. He'd had to resist getting anything for Fred, who still wasn't returning his phone calls or acknowledging the flowers he'd been sending her ever since she'd agreed to 'sleep on it' in regards to their break-up.

He found Shadowcrest easily enough and knocked on the door, present in hand. He had definitely not wrapped it-it was much too neat for that. Thank goodness for the offered gift wrapping services in the store this time of year.

Jack knocked on the door, still not quite sure what to expect from his introduction to Christmas specials.
