33rd Pret

[tuliphead]

It's December again, huh? That means it's almost time for Christmas again. But how the heck can you get good Christmas presents in a place like this?

I'll figure something out though. All of my friends will be getting great presents!

I just wish I could get gifts for everyone at home too...

[Of course, she's avoiding any mention of Hayate...]

I've been wondering the same thing. I-It's not like Mayfield offers a lot in the way of shopping. It's times like this I wish I was a bit more creative, and could make presents like some people do.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I'll probably end up making something for everyone. I don't think you have to be too creative to make something for someone though. It's the thought that counts, right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, I was trying to bake some Christmas cookies or something, but it's not going well. Ah, practice makes perfect, I hope?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I could help you if you want.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? Any pointers would be great.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Sure. I love baking so it's no problem at all.

Do you have a certain kind of cookie in mind?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was thinking sugar cookies maybe? Something everyone would probably like, and easy to make, well, Christmasy.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Good idea. Sugar cookies are great for Christmas!

If you have some time I could teach you in person.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That would be great. Maybe after school sometime?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Sure. I could meet you once class got out.

handwave? keep commentin'?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Alright. Meet me outside of school then?

Handwaving is fine with me. :3

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'll see you then.

[Well Himeno, you'll have a handful with Crowe. Prior to getting to Mayfield, Crowe never lacked for anything and always had someone to cook for him. He' learned a lot in his 9 months here, but he still needs a lot of guidance. Naturally, the whole time he'll be overapologetic about being a screw-up, too.]

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Himeno, can you help me find a present for Shin?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Of course!

What do you think he would like?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Uh... maybe a storybook? I don't know what toys just... showed up in his house like here.

Or cookies, he always likes cookies!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I think a storybook would be a great idea. We can go out looking for one later if you want.

And I'll help you bake some cookies.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the town will let us find something good!

You'll help? You're the best!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Of course I'll help! What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Can we put chocolate in them?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not!

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Yay! Shin likes bananas too, but they don't really go in cookies, do they?

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Not really, no.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

[If Himeno agrees, they must not go in cookies. She likes that ice cream!]

Chocolate is good though!

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

[Ice cream is one thing. Cookies are another altogether.]

The best! And I'll make sure we have enough to sample with still having plenty of cookies for Shin!

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Samples! We've gotta make sure they're just as good as Goh's cookies.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I can make them that well, but we sure can try!

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Gotta try though. Shin must miss him.

[Yep. Shin. Definitely Shin that misses him.]

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We all miss him, and the other knights, too.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

It's gonna be weird. Not having them here at Christmas.

[white-pretear.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, it will.

But we'll still find a way to have fun.

[splashpuppy.livejournal.com]

Mm, we gotta make this a real nice Christmas for Shin!
