Shive landed by the field of springs, taking in a deep breath, then letting it out in a satisfied sigh. He trudged over to the nearest one, a pool about 15 feet across and 6 feet deep. He then began removing his armor, followed by his clothes (just keep reading). He now stood there in nothing but what appeared to be XXXL, neon-green swimming trunks. He slid into the water and shuddered in enjoyment as the water loosened his sore muscles.
He sighed and leaned backwards, shutting his eyes. He then began to quietly sing a song to himself, knowing no one else was around.
"A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me..."
He slid in more until the water came up to his chin, spitting out a bit of the water. He was quite content.

Shive's hears perked up when he heard the grass crumple a small ways off as Myrr landed, it hadn't taken her too long to figure out Shive's general direction, but pin-pointing it exactly was a little more difficult. She had landed before this when she realized just what Shive hand found to change. She needed some relaxation, too. Her pink two-piece was conservative, not letting much show of what it was covering.
When Myrr reached the edge of the hot spring, she didn't bother to wait and check the temperature and just slipped in, her dragon genetics making what would be too hot for many a soothing warmth for her like it was for Shive. Speaking of the dragonkin, Myrr glanced at him. She reached over and kissed him again on the cheek, causing the dragonkin to blush.
"I'm glad I could make it here." She scooted a little closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder. "Sometimes just being with the one you care for the most is all you really need."

Shive couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and sighed.
"So true." He agreed.
Huh. I didn't think this would happen. But damn, am I glad it did. Shive thought.
He heard Evihs screaming profanity in the back of his mind and Shive snickered. It seemed the Hollow was losing his control somewhat. Good.
"Myrr? I have a question."
He looked up at the sky, and asked,
"What's with all of the people recently? They've been running to the shopping malls and buying a lot of stuff, they've been setting up decorations that deal with fat men in red suits, and there's ben twice as much traffic recently. Is there some holiday coming up soon?"
He looked confused as he scratched at his cheek.

"Yes, Christmas is coming up." She glanced up at Shive, noticing a puzzled look on his face. "...You do know what Christmas is? Right?" The same look answered her question.
"Good Lord, I knew you to be thick-headed at times, but never like this!" She sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"Well, at least I can explain it for you. Christmas can take many veiws, depending on who is defining it. Some see it as a time of giving. They buy those things so they can wrap them and give them to someone they know on December 25th, which is Christmas day. Many of the children believe that there is a man who lives at the North Pole, a very cold place near the northernmost edge of the world. He's called Santa Claus, and the decorations that look like a fat man in a red suit is what they perceive him to appear as. The little children, and even some adults believe that every December 24th, he makes a grand trip around the world in less then six hours through the night by a magical sleigh that is pulled by eight reindeer through the sky, delievering presents to all who have been good for the year. Of course, if they don't go to bed early, Santa won't come to their house because he can't be seen, or his magic fades and he can't make anymore trips for the following years. Nobody knows how he can tell when someone is asleep or awake, but he does. Many millions of houses are visited by Santa on Christmas Eve, December 24th, so that he can deliever his presents to the good children. Finally, others have a religious believe that their one and only God's son was born on that day, four thousand years ago. They call themselves Christian's because the name of their God's son was Jesus Christ, and that last name is also where we get Christmas from. The first six leters, C-H-R-I-S-T, are the exact same as Jesus' last name. There is also one final group who believes in two of the reasons or all three at once. I happen to believe in all three, no matter how ludicrous the second one sounds."
Myrr glanced up at Shive again and asked, "Did you get all that? Or should I repeat it again?"

Shive scratched his head, filtering it all into his mind.
"No... I think I got it all." He stated, grinning.
Shive suddenly started restraining a laugh.
"If 'Santa' does such a thing, doesn't that mean he's breaking into someone's home? Isn't that against the law?"
He paused, thinking.
Gifts for people they know... He pondered.

"Whoops, I omitted one extra part by accident. He slides down the chimney, or he uses his magic to turn into a magical dust to fly in and then make himself whole again. There is never anything broken, and rarely any evidence, unless you leave cookies out for him or one of his reindeer comes in with him. Since he only leaves presents or eats the cookies left out for him, there is no breaking of the law." Myrr lightly smacked her own head.
"Silly me."

Shive blinked one eylid at a time, then asked,
"Why does he do this? Why go all over the planet and break into people's houses just to give them presents?"
Shive was suspicious of this 'Santa's actions.

Myrr reached a hand up and gave Shive a good whack to his forehead.
"You're missing the point! The point is not why he does so, its the fact that whenever he does, everybody is happy one way or another. Christmas wouldn't really be Christmas if you try to unravel every little detail. Sometimes the beauty of the mystery out weighs the knowledge gained from solving the mystery. No body else has tried to unravel that mystery, because no one wants to." Myrr explained. She suddenly faced away from Shive, and a grin was own her face.
"Say, have you ever heard of a mistletoe?"

Shive rubbed his forehead, then responded.
"Oooh... I get it."
He saw her turn away, and he cocked and eyebrow, suspicious yet again.
"Nooo.... why?"

"Well, A mistletoe is a kind of plant, and in Christmas, its a tradition that when two people stand under one, they have to kiss. Care to help me set up Solranous and Kisara to get them under one?" Myrr asked kindly. She wanted to see the surprise on their faces when they found themselves under a mistletoe. Better yet, she'd get it on tape!

A grin crossed his face, and he nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, I'd help with that." He stated.
I'd like to find myself under one with you... He thought, making sure not to show it on his face.
"Hrmm... maybe throw a Christams party?" He asked.

"A Christmas party sounds nice, I missed out on the last one. Plus its the perfect time and place to put a mistletoe up for them to walk under." Myrr replied, she was sure she was going to enjoy this Christmas party. It'd be just like old times, since every year she was able to attend, she pull the same trick over and over on her parents. The Solranous of her timeline never scolded her for doing the trick, though he always knew, and Myrr had begun to think he was just using it as an excuse to french kiss the Kisara of her timeline whenever he wanted to. She also had her suspicions that it was an excuse for her mother to return it. Myrr mentally sighed, those were some of the good days in her life.
'Better yet, Shive doesn't know that I'm going to make an extra surprise, just for him.' She giggled, and looked up at Shive.
"Shall we make preparations then?"
(OOC: No, I didn't add that second part in because of what Shive thought, I was planning to have Myrr do it from the first moment I thought of this.)

((And I was going to do that before I started this post! lol))
Shive nodded and replied,
"Yeah. But not yet."
He lay his head on Myrr's shoulder this time, and a small smirk formed.
"Strange... the water wasn't this nice until you came along." He stated.

Myrr blushed at that, wondering her mother had similar experiences when it came to Solranous. She smiled, still blushing.
"Everythings better when we are together, doesn't it seem that way? I personally like it that way." As she said that, the half dragon sank a little deeper into the hot spring, but not too much that Shive would have to move his head.
(OOC: Bleh... Didn't know what to say...)

((Then I've done my job  )) Shive nodded, closing his eyes. "As do I..." He replied. His eyes slid open again, and a single word crossed his mind. O'Malley.O'Malley's good with making stuff! I'll get him to help! He thought. He grinned as he looked up at Myrr, and asked, "Myrr? What do you want for Christmas?" |
