Hey guys/gals. Enzo here. I'm writing a Christmas story involving quotes from the awesome forum Xana's Lair. Hope ya like it!

The First Day of Christmas – Regarding Cheese

Well, Odd thought, Christmas did have its ups and downs. It freed them from classes halfway through December, it brought the group together, gave them presents galore, and Rosa's cooking turned festive. Her chocolate cake was heavenly….

But, on the other hand, it made people try things that made them sleepy or hyper, which in turn, made them say some strange things. In fact, a very unusual conversation had taken place earlier that day, whilst the group were walking about the yard with nothing to do.

"So…." Ulrich had said, "I've never really asked, but, uh…. What's your favourite type of food?"

"I'd say fruitcake. It's so… fruity!"

Jeremie may have been the Einstein of the modern day, but he did lack originality in some comments.

"Well, Jer, that's why it's called fruitcake. Because it's fruity."

"Oh, really? And Yumi, she who likes to point out the obvious, what is YOUR favourite cake?"

"Ulrich," she replied without thinking. It took her several seconds to notice that nearly all of her friends were holding back laughter, slightly longer to notice Ulrich was hot pink, and even longer to realise what she said.

"Wait, wait! I meant to say… ginger cake."

It was then that Odd had his turn to speak. "Never would have guessed," he replied with a grin, "and by the way, mine is Rosa's chocolate cake."

Aelita rolled her eyes. "How predictable, Odd. I like Black Forest cake!"

"It's okay," Ulrich replied, "but I prefer a different type of cake. Cheesecake. Don't you guys love it?"

All his friends either shook their heads or looked at the floor.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T LIKE CHEESECAKE!?!?!?!?"

And hey presto, that grabbed their attention. Nothing grabs attention in the same way a random comment does.

"It's not that tasty, bud," Odd pointed out, and he immediately wished he hadn't.

"BUT IT'S SO CHEESEPUFF!!!!!"

Aelita stared. "Cheesepuff? Ulrich…. Are you OK?"

Ulrich stared at her weirdly. "Of course I'm okay, Naruto. By the way, have you met GLaDOS yet?" And then, for reasons unknown, he started dancing the Caramelldansen.

Yumi glanced at the now dancing boy. "…How much sugar have you had in the past few days?"

-"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T LIKE CHEESECAKE?!?!" Kittyclaw –
