First Christmas (Part 1)

[ivory stardust]

Quinn: Hey, Ginaphae! Join us? We're going to do Christmas stuff.
Ginaphae: Oh! Thank you. Um, where is Lucas?
Quinn: Working, like always.
Ginaphae: Oh, I see. Well, I will be right back.



Ginaphae: Just let me put these down first.
Quinn: What are those?
Zane: Lookit 'em Quinn, they're presents!
Ginaphae: Of course! It is the day for such, yes?
Quinn: Yeah, but... hey Monkey, wanna sit under the tree like usual?
Zane: Yes!



Quinn: Yeah, I just didn't know elves had Yule... or Christmas... stuff like that.
Ginaphae: We have a winter holiday, Hrive'Isia. It is not exactly like your Christmas, but the idea seems similar.
Zane: PRESENT TIME!!
Ginaphae: I believe your young one would like his gifts now.



Quinn: *Chuckles* OK, Mr. Impatient. That big red one there is for you.
Zane: Yes! That's what it says.



Zane: Ooooh! Is it REAL Galactic Ooze?
Quinn: You'll have to run some tests to be sure, I think. But that's what it says.
Zane: Was this my bonus one, Quinn?
Quinn: Yup. *Looks at Ginaphae* If he's been good, I get him an extra gift for Christmas. His "bonus".
Ginaphae: Oh, I see. That's very generous of you.
Quinn: Nah, just the way we do. Anyway, so now we go from youngest to oldest.



Ginaphae: In that case, if you do not mind may I give Zane the one from me?
Quinn: Go for it.
Zane: Cool!



Zane: It's a new shirt! And it's LIME GREEN!! Awesome!
Ginaphae: I am glad you like it, Zane. I have some pants I am making for you as well, but they are not finished yet.
Zane: Cool! Thanks!



Ginaphae: You are next then, Quinn.
Quinn: Well, we're both 19, so...
Ginaphae: Quinn, need I remind you that I am actually 109?
Quinn: Oh, yeah. I forgot. *Chuckles* OK, if you insist.
Ginaphae: I do.

Quinn: Wow! This is really nice, Ginaphae. Did you make this?
Ginaphae: Yes. I have noticed that you seem to only have short sleeved shirts, and I know how the cold affects humans, so...
Quinn: Thanks! This is great. In fact...


Quinn: I think I'll try it on now!
Ginaphae: Quinn! Whatever are you doing?!



Quinn: What? It's just a chest. *chuckles* It's not like I took off my pants.
Ginaphae: A lady should never see a man in such a state of undress!
Quinn: Then how do you make more elves?
Ginaphae: What?
Quinn: Never mind....



Quinn: It's safe now, Ginaphae.
Ginaphae: Thank you. Please do not ever disrobe in front of me, Quinn. It is improper.
Quinn: *Laughs* OK, sure thing, Princess.
Ginaphae: I am a Countess, not a Princess... well... anyway.



Zane: If you two are finished. Hey, Ginaphae! I got this for you!
Ginaphae: You... got me something? How very sweet of you!
Quinn: WHAT is it wrapped in?
Zane: The Chinese take-out menu. I couldn't find the wrapping paper.
Quinn: Of course...



Ginaphae: It is sweets, and what is in the pretty bag?



Zane: It's chocolates and hair clips! Quinn said girls like stuff like that!
Ginaphae: They are lovely, Zane!



Ginaphae: Thank you so much, dear Zane. You are such a darling boy!
Zane: Um... it's... nothing... *blush*

Zane: MINE!! *he'd somehow managed to snatch up and unwrap his one from Quinn in a milisecond* It's a TRANSFORMER!!! And it's GREEN!!!!
Quinn: How did you... eh, nevermind. Glad you like it, Monkey!
Zane: Yes!!



Zane: Here! This is for you, Quinn!
Quinn: Thanks, Little Man.



Quinn: I seem to be holding some sort of... viscous liquid?
Zane: Yes! It's guitar oil. I made it for you, cuz I know you were needing some for your guitar.
Quinn: Aw! That's really nice of you, Monkey. Thanks!



Quinn: OK, one last one. Here, Ginaphae. This one's from me.
Ginaphae: Oh, Quinn, you shouldn't have. Thank you.



Ginaphae: This box is quite lovely.
Quinn: I hope you like it. I went to that shop you go to all the time and asked, they helped me pick it out.



Ginaphae: *Soft gasp* Is... is this...?
Quinn: Some seeds for you to grow your own herbs, and some bottles and stuff for you to use when you make your... potions... or whatever it is you called it.



Ginaphae: Oh! Oh Quinn! That is so very, very thoughtful of you! *Flings herself, tackling Quinn in a big hug*
Quinn: Nah, it's nothing really, and... ACK!



Zane: AND OVER THEY GO!!!! ...I love my Transformer....


^___^

The Transformer is great.

I was very amused by the viscus liquid.

Thanks for sharing - what a fun holiday!

Zane refuses to let go of the new Transformer. And Quinn's a bit afraid of actually putting said viscous liquid on his beloved guitar.... never know what will happen with Zane's inventions.
