Happiness comes to those who are moving toward something they want very much to happen. And it almost always involves making someone else happy. —Earl Nightingale

"I would like to call to order the first ever meeting of The Garcia Sister-In-Laws in Search for the Perfect Christmas Present for Penelope," Casey perkily declared with a grin.

Gaby rolled her eyes. "Why don't we go by GSILSPCPP? I think that will take a little less breath to say."

"So whines the woman who immediately hopped a plane from Hong Kong to be here to help," teased Starlight with a smile.

Once again, Gaby rolled her eyes, but this time, it was with a grin. Turning to Casey she asked, "So, Chairman of the Committee, what are we getting for our illustrious cuñada?"

Casey gave her fellow sisters a manic grin.

"The one thing Penny wants more than anything in this world."

Gaby's eyes widened. "You do realize that our meddling will bring about Death by a Very Slow and Very Painful Process?"

Starlight, who also had a health respect for Penelope's temper, thoughtful said, "But if it gets her what she wants…"

"Oh, no. No, no, no. Confucius said, 'Love is like a spice. It can sweeten your life—however, it can spoil it, too.' There is no way I'm getting between Penny and her chocolate prince. Those two can figure it out on their own!"

Casey, still determined, countered, "Don Juan DeMarco…"

"Who is a movie character," Gaby groused.

Casey continued as if she hadn't heard her sister-in-law. "…said, 'There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio: What is sacred? Of what is spirit made? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for? The answer to each is only love.'"

"You prepared for my argument!"

Casey just smiled as Starlight added, "We do owe Penelope. Who was it that flew to Spain when you were in the hospital with pneumonia and pregnant with your youngest so she could help Eddy take care of your other three so you wouldn't worry?"

"Penny," Gaby quickly yet defiantly agreed.

"And who organized a baby shower for me when I found out I was pregnant after Charlie had already been deployed to take my mind off the fact that he wouldn't met our child until she was almost a year old?"

"Penny."

"And who researched alternative proteins for me when Rainbow was diagnosed with a peanut allergy?"

"Penny," Gaby sighed. "And she even helped Mary when Mary got stuck on the side of the road and couldn't reach John, despite the fact that Mary has never been very nice to her (or anyone) and never said thank you."

"See," Casey pleaded. "Penelope deserves a wonderful Christmas present from all of us. Don't you think?"

Gaby finally gave in with a nod. Both Casey and Starlight gave a squeal of delight.

"Pero," she added, pointing a finger at Casey. "If we get caught, we are sacrificing you to her anger."

Starlight quickly agreed. "Charlie could be deployed again so she won't kill you."

Casey rolled her eyes good naturedly, but agreed.

"So, how do we go about this?"

Gaby stared at Casey with disbelief. "You're the one that called the meeting!"

"Because I needed help," she explained.

Ignoring their bickering, Starlight thoughtfully said, "We need an inside man. Someone she'll never suspect, but someone who can actually help."

The three women stopped and thought through all the people they knew who worked with Penelope.

Finally, Starlight sighed and shook her head.

"Obviously, the best one would be Derek, but since he's our gift…"

"If we could get him to help," Casey added, "we wouldn't need to do anything."

Gaby, however, gave her sisters-in-law a calculating grin.

"All hope is not lost, my hermanas. I think I have an idea."

Smiling, the other two leaned closer and Starlight said, "Do tell."

Sisters, sisters. Never were there such devoted sisters. —Irving Berlin
