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!

[ 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.

[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!

[ 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.

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

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

[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!

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

How fun! Snow men, and snow angels, and have a snowball fight, and go sledding...

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Doesn't he seem like the type who'd love all of that?

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Why, we'll have to drag him away when the sun goes down~!

[giggle giggle]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... [ that gets her to start laughing too ] I get the feeling that's exactly what's going to happen!

[trying to imitate Ven-]

'Just a few minutes more! I haven't lost the feeling in my toes yet!'

[ pffffffffffft. ]

He's such a kid sometimes. You've got him down pretty good, Minnie!

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that's what we love about him. He's so wonderfully innocent.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Mm... [ her eyes will soften a bit ] But he's helped me a lot when I've needed it, too. He's a lot stronger and smarter than a lot of people think.

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

... He has helped me too. We have a beautiful family together.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... Family?

[ ... no Rise don't actually think they're really related IT DOESN'T WORK ]

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I think of Ven, Terra, Aqua... and even you, Rise, as my family.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Huh-- me? [ okay THAT surprised her. ]

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Of course you, Rise.

[squeezing her hand.]

With all that we've been through together, and such a fantastic young lady you are... You're as close to me as any blood.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Minnie...

[ oh god did she just get adopted by Disney ]

... Thanks. It kind of feels like you're more family than my actual one. [ Grandma not included, because her grandma's awesome stuff. But Minnie's supported and shown more affection than her own parents ever did. ]

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[yes. yes you did.

And she'll lean over and kiss your cheek]

You're welcome, Rise..

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ UM I DON'T HAVE TO CALL MICKEY MOUSE "DAD" RIGHT BECAUSE THAT WOULD JUST BE AWKWARD-- the kiss makes her smile, but it also calls her attention to something she'd considered being subtle about.

... hahaha yeah, no. ]

So by the way, what happened to your cheek?

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[uh-oh. She quickly draws back.]

Oh, that! I, um... I fell on a door!

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

...

[ you are talking to an actress, Minnie. ]

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[i-it's worth a try]

So, how has your day been?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ ... she asked for it. ]

Pretty good! One of my really good friends just went home, Heather got hurt for trying to stop a crazy clown robber, and you're covering up for something!
