The third day of Christmas
Roll Caskett hummed a Christmas carol as she bustled around the Flutter's small kitchen, checking on the cookies she was baking as a present for a certain Digger. She blushed slightly as she thought of the boy she grew up with— they were like brother and sister, but… well, Roll thought of him as more than a brother. Maybe she'd work up the nerve to tell him so soon…
"Hey Roll, whatcha cooking? It smells great!" Mega Man Trigger stated casually as he poked his head into the kitchen doorway.
"They're cookies, and they aren't done yet!"
"Well, I can't wait to have some! You are planning on sharing some of them with me and Barrell, right?" Trigger continued as he strolled into the room.
Before Roll could respond, a slight tremor ran through the craft.
"What was that?" Roll pondered, partially confused and partially fearful.
"I don't know… I'll check it out Roll." Trigger assured her. However, before he took two steps out of the kitchen, he spied a dark-haired girl walking down the hall towards him.
"Tron! What are you doing here?" Trigger exclaimed happily at his pirate friend's appearance.
Roll huffed slightly and turned back to the oven. Was Trigger really so stupid that he could ignore the fact that a pirate has just infiltrated the Flutter, pretty face or no pretty face?
"Well, it's… we got another big refractor recently and had a bit of spare money hanging around and… what is she doing here?" Tron demanded, interrupting her own rambling at the sight of Roll.
"I live here. Why are you here?" Roll responded, trying to sound nonchalant as she took the finished cookies out of the oven and placed them onto a platter.
"I… I'm here to give Mega Man a present!" Tron blurted out, holding out a small wrapped box towards the hero. The boy blinked at in surprise.
"W-well, thanks Tron! I don't have anything for you, though… I wasn't really expecting to meet you like this."
Why should he have to give her a present?! In fact… why is she giving him a present anyway? Roll fumed inwardly.
"Well, um… I guess you could—"
"The cookies are ready!" Roll chimed cheerfully, interrupting Tron while bustling into the hall with a plate full of snickerdoodle cookies.
"I made these especially for you, Mega Man. Why don't you try one?"
"Hey!" Tron exclaimed. "He should open my gift first! It's a lot better than some dumb old cookies!"
"But cookies taste so much better when they're warm and right out of the oven. Your present can wait."
"What?! But—"
"Let's let Mega Man decide, alright?"
"Fine! Mega Man, you're going to open my present first, right?!" Tron and Roll turned in unison to the blue hero, who sweatdropped and backed up slightly.
"Um, Roll, Tron, maybe we can work something out. Maybe I can eat one of Roll's cookies while opening Tron's gift, and—"
"No way! You have to have mine first!" Both girls cried in unison.
Trigger continued to back up slightly as the two girls continued to bicker.
"They're just presents… why are those two so obsessed over which one I take first?" the boy mumbled to himself. He plopped down against the wall and looked at Data.
"I'll never understand girls…"
Author's notes: My third day! Roll seemed a little OOC in here, so... sorry. Hope you liked anyway!
