20 (Mickey Steps Out)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Out and about at the PokeMart, Minnie turns on the video. You may or may not notice her cheek is slightly bruised - because she can't go a month without bodily harm Shadow was a meanie and pushed her hard. But she's bright and cheery!]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a pleasant day. My new friend Ahiru reminded me how fast time flies... next month is Christmas!

For those who don't know, Christmas is a wonderful holiday celebrated in many worlds... People come together to cherish their friends and families, exchanging gifts. And for all the little boys and girls, if they've been good, Santa Claus will leave them a present! And we all play in the snow, and sing carols, and kissing under the mistletoe, and it's all so much fun! It takes place on December 25th, so please keep that date in mind.

With that... Is there anything in particular you want for Christmas? There are so many great people here, and I want to try and get a gift to all of my loved ones!

So good to see you, Jack! If they don't have Christmas here, we can still celebrate it!

Oh, aren't you sweet to ask... Hm, let's see, maybe... some new hair bows! I think I'm wearing mine out.

Why do we have to give stuff to show people we care about them? Aniki never really gave me much, but he cared about me more than anybody else.

I should have expected at least one Scrooge. The point of Christmas is to spread happiness and togetherness!

[ Rise's actually working and still kind of hnnngh over Neku, but she's smiling at the mention of Christmas. ]

I wonder if they've got mistletoe here. It'd come in handy.

...

[big, sweet smile.]

It's merely a gesture... I'm not saying you have to do any of this. It's only a suggestion. But you've already understood the real meaning of family and love.

Then I really do have to replace Santa for you! I'll find something super special to get for you.

[pat-patting Rise's hand, trying to cheer her up.]

There's a lot about Johto we still don't know. I'll have to become a researcher!

H-huh? [WHAT'S THAT MEAN YOU'RE CONFUSING HIM]

I have never heard of Christmas before, but it sounds lovely.

[ poor girl can't resist Disney cheer, plus she herself doesn't feel like being disheartened, so have a slightly brighter smile. ]

I'll ask around, too. I don't really have any other plans except getting Ven out there when it snows.

It is! Everyone comes together to celebrate love and family.

That's right! He's probably never seen snow, has he?

[combat_butler]

Um... Really, Minnie-san. There's not a single thing out there that I would consider 'super special' at this point in time...

It's good seeing you too! You know, you're a champ for being able to keep your chin up after-- you know.

What color would you like? Are there-- uh-- different kinds? _{I'm not really an expert on this sort of thing.}

[Rolling her eyes]

How foolish of me.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

You're a very sweet and kind boy. I'd like to give you a Christmas present.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Goodness, I have my work cut out for me.

[IT'S HAPPENING, ACCEPT IT.]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

[ ... oh, family. ]

Is it acceptable to celebrate comrades instead of family?

[combat_butler]

You should be more focused on spending your time getting presents for people who deserve and want them.

*NEIN.*

It wouldn't do me any good to be so upset... When I'm happy, my loved ones are happy, which makes me happy again.

Red and blue! But any color would do, really, I love all colors!

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Why, of course! Your close friends do become family in your heart.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It's all right. But even Scrooge changed his mind - I can get you a very nice present, and we can be friends.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

That's what he said, so I'm going to make sure he gets to do all that snow stuff when it finally happens!

[ video ]

[revivifies.livejournal.com]

How wonderful! Although there are still many things I do not understand.

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

But you do deserve it, Hayate... You've always been so kind and thoughtful, putting others before yourself.

[JA]
