Why is it such a big deal to become a teenager?

Doesn't feel different.

Wait, is it your birthday today too!? No kidding!

[madeinoblivion]

You really have been talking to Riku a lot, huh? That sounds like something he'd say.

[little_bandages]

Maybe. I had kind of come to that even before I came here.

I'm definitely not as kind as he is.

[madeinoblivion]

But you're a nice kid- you're not bad.

[little_bandages]

Pff, no.

But I'm not all that nice, either.

[And yet in complete contradiction of that--]

What do you want for Christmas, anyway?

[madeinoblivion]

Me? Ah...

I... I'm not asking for anything special. Were you invited over to Riku's on Christmas?

[little_bandages]

Yeah. Riku and I have been friends for awhile. Triela - my roommate - she's used to having a nice Christmas, so it will be good to go to a party.

[madeinoblivion]

She's coming too?

Looks like I'll be using up the whole bag of potatoes after all.

...okay, what flavor do you like best- peppermint, ginger bread, or eggnog?

[little_bandages]

Yeah. Christmas isn't a very big deal to me, but I get the feeling it always was for her. I want to do right by her as much as I can, since there's not much money.

Gingerbread is best to me.

[madeinoblivion]

Well, we're going to have plenty to eat. Riku says he's doing it right...since he's missed out on Christmas with his friends last year. And Sora showed up again just in time, so...

I mean, Christmas in fun by me too. Finding presents for everybody- I guess I'll worry about having enough munny left for rent after new years.

Okay!

[little_bandages]

You still didn't tell me what you'd like, Joe.

[madeinoblivion]

Ah- I don't know, something little and fun, that I can take around with me?

[little_bandages]

I think I have an idea.

I'll see you on Christmas, okay Joe? Happy birthday.
