Gifts of Shauna
Chapter 1: Her Plan
The festive season known as Christmas had arrived across the Kalos region, and in a small area of the region known as Vaniville Town, it seemed that there was no shortage of preparations as various coloured lights were hung across the houses inside and outside along with green tinsel strung across the gate leading out towards Route 1. Inside one of the small houses that occupied the town, a young girl with dark coloured skin, long dark brown hair that she kept tied up in pigtails and shining dark green eyes was up in her room, busy at work with her preparations for the season: her name was Shauna.
"All right, let's see what we have here…" As Shauna busily scanned her room, she turned her glance down to have a look at a small list she had taken down to make sure that all her preparations were in order. "Christmas outfit: check. List of names: check. Bag of presents…" Shauna lifted her glance up to notice lying beside her bed was a large bag of presents wrapped up in various colours of wrapping paper and ribbons to go with them and a bright smile crossed her face as she gave a nod in confirmation. "That's a big check on that part!" With a small pencil in hand, she proceeded to write a tick in each box for her requirements before placing the list down on the small desk beside one of the windows and clapped her hands together in excitement. "All right, I think that's everything! Now it's just time to get myself ready and I'll be on my way!" So with this, she made her way over to her wardrobe to get herself ready.
Needless to say, Shauna had been looking forward to Christmas all year as she had something special planned for this year: she was going to visit each of her friends and give them a special present. She had made sure that all of her presents were brought beforehand so that no one would be unaccounted for on her list and she was hoping all of her hard work would pay off. After making sure all of her preparations were in check, Shauna made her way over to her mirror to ensure she was fully prepared: she was dressed in a lovely dark red dress with long sleeves, white fluffy creases on the end of each sleeve, a matching bright red turncoat with a light pink bow in the centre to hold it together on her shoulders, matching red boots with black stripes running down the centre and to top it all off, a bright red Christmas hat on her head to complete the image. As Shauna had a close look at her reflection, a smile of excitement crossed her head as she gave a cheerful nod of confirmation. "Yep! I think I'm all set. Oh, this is so exciting! I can't wait to visit my friends and deliver these presents to them: I just know they'll love them!" So without a moment to spare, Shauna rushed over to pick up the sack of presents and make her way over to the staircase to begin her deliveries. As she made her way down the staircase, she grabbed out her list of names to see who it was she had to visit.
"Let's see… Who should I start with?"
