The following story is a work of fiction.  It contains scenes of an adult
nature, so if you are under 18, stop reading now.  This story
contains explicit sexual language and fantasies.  If you are offended by
such activities, do not read any further.  This is purely a
fantasy.  The author is not responsible for any damage resulting from
reading this work.

Almost all characters in this story are purely fictional.  The part of
Xanthos Pendragon is based upon what I believe I would do with
this particular program.   ALL characters are 21 or older.

For those who are not familiar with the "MasterPC" story line, this story
deals heavily with concepts that some people (particularly
the religious wrong) may find offensive.  In particular, this story deals
with mind control, body shaping and manipulation (including
breast growth), interracial sex, both heterosexual and lesbian sex, anal
sex, and one scene of mother-daughter sex.  While some of
these concepts may be turnoffs to many readers (especially the interracial
and incest parts) be aware that these are not actually part of
the theme of the story, but are more along the lines of side-notes.

There are also a few minor references to something that could be considered
to be non-sexual torture.  Again, this is not part of the
theme of the story, but rather something you may wish to be aware of ahead
of time.

In some ways, this could possibly be considered a "Romantic Mind Control
Story with Ethics" -- if that's possible.

This story may be reposted or archived provided the following conditions are
met:

     1) The story is not altered in any way
     2) The story contains my name and disclaimer
     3) You do not make money from the story

 From the dictionary:

e-clec-tic
      adj.
     1. Selecting or employing individual elements from a variety of
sources, systems, or styles: an eclectic taste in music; an
     eclectic approach to managing the economy.
     2. Made up of or combining elements from a variety of sources: "a
popular bar patronized by an eclectic collection of artists,
     writers, secretaries and aging soldiers on reserve duty" (Curtis
Wilkie).

      n.
     One that follows an eclectic method.

Timeline: "Christmas" occurs just after the return from the honeymoon
following "The Wedding."

              Master PC: The Eclectic's Edition -- Christmas

                               by Xanthos Pendragon


   Christmas Eve


"Xanthos, can we borrow the PathMaker for a while?" Anna asked.  [Editor's
Note: The "PathMaker" was a very heavily
customized Nissan Pathfinder that was both lengthened and widened to
something close to the size of a Hum-Vee,
while being much more comfortable at the same time.]

"Sure.  Last minute shopping?"

"Yeah.  I just thought of something I wanted to get for Kat, and couple of
the others need to do some last minute stuff as well,"
she replied.

"Okay.  Just be careful with all that snow out there.  Just because it has
4-wheel drive doesn't mean that it's going to work that
much better on this kind of road."

"We'll be careful," she replied sincerely.

I just nodded, and watched her head off with Angie, Amy, and Mei.  As I
stood there, a pair of arms worked their way around
me from behind, and a tender pair of lips kissed my neck.  I know it sounds
sappy, but the amount of love that constantly flows
around this house is more than I had ever hoped for in my youth.  I staid
there holding her arms for a few moments before
turning around to return the kiss.

"Hello, my wife," I gently said, giving her that kiss.  Laura still glowed
whenever I said that.  "Feeling a little frisky?"

"No, just felt a hug," she replied.

I smiled and hugged her back firmly.  "That, you can have any time you
 wish."  Then I gave her a kiss and we started walking
toward the living room, still holding each other.

"Did you get all your shopping done?" I asked Laura as we casually walked
down the hall.

"Yep," she said with a sly grin.  "We even managed to come up with something
for the man who has everything."

"Oh?  Sounds interesting," I replied, not quite with a straight face.
(Okay, I admit it.  She had my curiosity up!)

"And don't bother asking for any hints, either," she added.

I chucked, and said, "You know me too well, my love."

Laura just nodded and gave me kiss on the cheek.

As we approached the living room, I noticed some familiar Christmas music.

"I see you guys found my Herb Alpert CD," I said, mainly to Tiffany, who was
sitting next to the stereo, going through the part
of my collection not in the CD changer.

"Yeah.  This is nice.  Do you know when it was made?  I couldn't find any
sort of date in the CD case," Tif replied.

"No.  I noticed that too.  In fact, I think it may be just barely older than
me," I replied.

Tif just nodded and said, "May be."

Just then, Kat walked in, moping.

"Hey, Kat.  What's wrong?"  I asked, holding out an arm, inviting her to sit
next to the fireplace with Laura and me.

"Oh... it's my parents.  They're still visiting relatives in Finland, and
won't be back for another couple of weeks.  This is the first
Christmas they haven't been around," she said, a bit depressed.

I struggled to keep from grinning, and barely succeeded.  At least she wasn'
t looking, in case I slipped.  I hope the others
weren't too.

Hugging her, I said, "I'm sure we can keep you from missing them too much."

Laura reached over and hugged her too, adding her own consolations.

"Thanks," Kat said, hugging us both tightly and giving us a friendly kiss
before getting up.

Down the hall, we heard Stephanie entering with some groceries for the
Christmas-day feast.

"Steph?" I said, getting up.

"Yes, Sir," she said, walking into the living room.

"I though I told you to take a few days off."

"No, Sir.  You suggested it.  I don't have any family or anyone to visit, so
I might as well spend it here.  Besides, you're all the
closest thing I have to family now anyway," she explained, surprising us
all.

"I'm sorry.  I didn't know," I said.  "You're more than welcome to join us,"
I offered.  The other kittens hurriedly agreed.

"Thanks, everyone," Stephanie said, a tear coming to her eye.

Most of the other kittens got and gave Stephanie a hug.  While they did, I
whispered to Laura, "Looks like we need a few
more presents.  I don't think my little gift is going to be enough."

Laura agreed, and we got ready to go shopping for a while.  While I got
ready, Laura got ideas from the others for their gifts to
Stephanie.

While we were out, the others helped Stephanie get everything ready for
tomorrow's meals.



"Thank you, Xanthos," Laura said while we were driving.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Thank you for having Steph join us," she explained.

"I know what it's like, being lonely.  Besides, I like helping others when I
get the chance.  Like most others though, it just
doesn't come to mind that often."

Laura nodded.

Just then, I noticed the local "Meals on Wheels" and ideas started coming to
mind.



While we were picking up gifts, I stopped to talk to the managers at many of
the stores we visited and ended up buying a large
number of gift certificates in addition to the other stuff.  I also stopped
by one of the large grocery stores and had them put
together a LARGE order for the local homeless shelter, Meals on Wheels,
Salvation Army, and the others.  On the way back
to the castle, I dropped the certificates and a few checks off at some of
the places around town.  All in all, I'd say it was a
well-spent half-million dollars; enough to buy a good deal of food, clothes,
and gifts for over two thousand people.



Back at the castle again, we spent the evening sitting around the fireplace,
listening to Christmas music and drinking eggnog.
Even Stephanie was enjoying herself.

Since Santa needed some time to bring in presents, everyone decided to turn
in at 9:00.  Fifteen minutes later, I went out to the
wood shop and started hauling in gifts and setting them up around the tree.
I also distributed a large stack of new fleece robes
to all the kitten's bedrooms, and turned down the heat to give them some
incentive to wear them in the morning.

By the time I was finished, it was almost midnight.  Time for a good night's
sleep.



   Christmas Morning -- 8:00 AM


Yawn!  Time to get up.

After grabbing a quick shower, I went downstairs, knowing everyone else
would still be asleep.  (I'd used Master Control to
make everyone sleep from 9:15 Christmas Eve night till 9:00AM Christmas
morning.)

Once downstairs, the big surprises started showing up.  One of the things I
really wanted to do for everyone was to make this
a Christmas with ALL the families present.  I even had Kat's and Mei's
relatives flown in for the holidays.  While that may not
sound like much, you have to realize that many of Kat's relatives lived in
Finland, and almost ALL of Mei's lived in Japan.

Just before nine, they all arrived and were hidden in the dining room, so I
went back upstairs to wake the kittens.  One by one,
I woke each with a kiss.  When a few of them commented on how long (and
late) they'd slept, I just said that Santa had a lot
to do.

As everyone came into sight of the living room, everyone stopped short.
(Okay, so I went a little overboard on the additional
decorations and presents before I went to bed.)

"You weren't kidding about Santa having a lot to do!" Angie said.

I just smiled in response.

Once everyone was settled in around the tree, I acted like I forgot
something and jumped up, saying I'd be back in a minute.  I
jogged up to the dining room and had the guests all follow me back.

I don't know that I can describe the expressions on everyone's faces, but I'
m sure you can imagine it.  Kat and Mei, in
particular, were clearly shocked.  In fact, I think they almost fainted from
seeing relatives that I'm sure they hadn't seen in years
-- if ever.

The surprises weren't over, however, because Tiffany jogged upstairs and
brought down the kittens' surprise for me: Stacy and
Tracy from California!  [From "The Scare"]  After calming my heart back down
again, I properly greeted the two beauties,
then we all  -- including the guests -- sat down to open the rest of our
presents.

I would like to take this time to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays.  And, PLEASE, tell those you love just
how much you do care for them.  It will mean the world to them.
