Wonder 'ow the others are doin' back 'ome. If it was Christmas we'd be even busier'n usual with all the shows.

[she's sitting with Tiger on her lap, the puppy asleep and seeming peaceful for once]Joker'd be runnin' around takin' care of everythin', but 'e'd find the time to stop an' check on all of us, an' to joke around a bit. Beast'd be keepin

Is this your first Christmas here?

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, it is. Been a bit more'n half a year since I got 'ere.

[dclx]

Well, if you don't have anywhere to go for Christmas, you and Tiger can come celebrate with us! It might not be as exciting as it is back home, but holidays are more fun when you're with friends.

[freckleddoll]

Anna invited me over but 'd like t'come an' see you too! Need t'give ya your presents.

[innovatorgps]

I'm jealous, Freckles. That sounds like a good family.

[freckleddoll]

...I don' know that we're much t'be jealous of. But they are a good family. I care 'bout 'em a lot, an' they've always looked out fer me.

[innovatorgps]

That's something worth envying.

[freckleddoll]

...yeah, you're right. S'more than a lot of people 'ave.

[kirinofen]

Sounds like a nice family to be apart of.

[freckleddoll]

It is. 'm lucky t'have 'em all.

[horrible_penny]

I really like hearing about your family. They sound unusual, but unusual can be even better than normal, especially if everyone's close.

Sorry they're not around, Freckles. You'll get to see them again someday, though, and until then? All you ever need to do is find me. I'd love to be part of your family--your City family. If that's okay.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, we're quite close. Comes from the way we grew up, I guess. An' I like talkin' 'bout 'em. 'elps me miss 'em a bit less.

'course it's okay! 'm really glad I got t'know you 'ere, Penny.

[horrible_penny]

Then talk about them whenever you want!

Aw... thank you, Freckles. I'm glad I know you, too--you're the best.

[freckleddoll]

Alright, I will then!

Nah, 'm nothin' special. But s'really good t'have such nice friends 'ere.

[ann_withane]

No, it's not the same. I understand how you feel.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, well. 'm lucky to 'ave all of you 'ere at least, right? Though I bet you're missin' your family too...

Oh, an' I meant t'let you know! Some friends invited me over for Christmas an' said you could come too if ya like?

[ann_withane]

I do. But it's nice, actually having someone to miss. I've never had that before.

I would love that more than anything!

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, that's true. S'good t'know that you've got people waitin' for ya back 'ome.

Great! It's Megumi an' Vivio that's invited us. An' I asked a couple of my friends t'come over in the evening so I can give 'em their presents, 'ope you don' mind?
