Worst Christmas Ever

[bananas_an]

Dad, Mom, I can't believe this. You're leaving town tomorrow night? Just wonderful. There weren't any flights next morning?

I may as well live by myself.

I seem to have lost my holiday cheer.

I'm sorry about your parents, An.

[bananas_an]

Yeah. Sometimes I think they've forgotten about me.

You're still welcome for Christmas. That'll be in the morning and we'll have brunch and everything.

[quietlydrawing]

Of course not, An. They love you, that's the reason they had you. No one would be able to forget you. You're a wonderful person and I'm sorry something like this has happened to you.

If you'd still like me to come, I will.

[bananas_an]

I know. I know they do. I'm tired of it, is all. Sometimes it's nice not to have them around--parents can be a drag--but it gets old.

Of course I do! My folks are really great. They're just hardly here anymore. I can't believe they're leaving on Christmas.

[bananas_an]

That's what I say.

My dad's a bit of a workaholic, and mom goes everywhere with him anymore. I'm used to it by now. Or should be.

[bananas_an]

I'll live. I could have worse parents. Mind are pretty good for the most part. And I found out last night I'm not the only person in this situation. I just wish, well, Akira and he are never going to get along so scratch that thought.

Aw, thank you. Do you get snow there at all? I thought it was an eternal spring because of all the cherry blossoms.

How are things with you guys?

[ridetherhythm]

Come over mine, love.

[bananas_an]

I'm sorry I won't be very good company. ;__;

Can I bring Namine? I invited her for Christmas since she's never spent one with a family before. I didn't know then that Mom and Dad were going to run off.

[ridetherhythm]

You're always good company. I'm just glad I can spend Christmas with you.

Of course. I like her. If I tell my parents what happened they'll let you stay over, if you want.

[bananas_an]

Me, too. Thanks.

Okay. I'll ask her. I wanted to double-check with you before I did.

I'd like that. ^__^

[hates_leeks]

...stupid, you know you can always call me.

[bananas_an]

Eh. I'm fine. It's all fine. Are you guys doing anything for Christmas?

[hates_leeks]

You sure?

I'm going to a festival with Murata and his parents.

[bananas_an]

Yeah. I think I'll head over to Akira's tomorrow after they leave. It'll be alright.

That sounds like fun.

[kidoban]

I'm sorry to hear that, An-san. The timing is terrible.

[bananas_an]

Tell me about it.

[kidoban]

Yeah. But it sounds like you've got plans with friends, so I'm glad you won't be alone on such a day.

When would be a good time for me to stop by and drop off your present?

[bananas_an]

I'm glad Akira's able to have me and Namine over. I felt bad inviting her and then learning my folks would be leaving.

Tonight works. I made cookies.
