Hauling around a large bag, Callisto knocked on Anakin's doorframe. "Hey Anakin."

"Hi, Callisto," Anakin replied. "You playing Bristow Claus?"

He reached for a small package wrapped in silver paper on his bed. "This is for you," he said, handing it over.

"A little," Callisto handed over two cloth warpped bundles, before ripping off the wrapping paper off her own present. "Thanks Anakin."

"With this stuff we'd learned in Fencing Club, thought you might like to learn about the way I sword-fight back home," he said with a shrug.

He unwrapped his own presents, and looked with delight at the bells that Callisto had given him. "These are fantastic," he said, giving them a few test rings. "I could do 'Carol of the Bells' now." He smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Anakin," Callisto grinned, and made a netal note to remember perhaps the only time she was going to see Anakin playing bells without being sullen.

Anakin's head was still down, looking at the bells.

He closed his eyes and concentrated.

The bells lifted out of the box and hovered in the air. Then they began ringing out a version of "Silent Night."

Anakin gave Callisto a shy smile. "They're perfect. Thank you."
