[KHR :: VARIA] Fantasie Menta Peperita-Aromatizzati
Introduction
The name of the story is in Italian. Translated to English, it means "Peppermint-Flavoured Fantasies".
PLOT: Although the Varia was never big on the whole concept of "Christmas", they'd find out the reasons behind one naughty little uke's celebration of the holiday. Little do they know, she has some tricks up her… hat?
I will have PoV changes in the first chapter – this is only the intro. Also, the first chapter should be up today or tomorrow. This story is Fran/Flan x Bambi (My Character) based =) I wrote it listening to "Sleepless Nights" by Faber Drive.

It would seem not a creature was stirring – well, it would have, had there not been the annoying rustle of tissue paper and the "snip-snip" of scissors trimming wrapping paper and busily cutting tape. Bambi Lorraine, the seemingly useless and oddly petite Cloud Guardian (Oh, what now? xD), sat there, preparing the other guardians' gifts, whether they wanted them or not. Her baby-soft, fragile hands shuffled nervously as she tried to pack them within the hour. God only knows what would happen if Squalo awoke to find the brunette – hair pulled up in a messy pony-tail with strands falling out – with brow covered in sweat, sound asleep cuddling with a half-wrapped present nestled to her chest. She had stayed up all night, and deserved the rest. Also, she was in a haste to finish silently. All hell would break loose if Belphegor – or, as a certain froggy-hooded Mist Guardian called him, "fake prince" – was awoken before his designated time.
"One left," Bambi sighed in relief, smirking at the gift she had gotten Xanxus, the "wanna-be" Vongola tenth; a gun, or so it appeared, was held in her hand. Actually, it was a toy bubble gun spray-painted just as one of his. She sighed, recalling what Fran/Flan had said.
"If you go through with this," she mouthed the words that were still fresh in her head, "I think you shouldn't get Xanxus…" she stopped, giggling to herself. Of course, being a rebel as she was, she had to do just as she was told not to. She just hoped Xanxus wouldn't blast her head off for it. She could be such a kid. After wrapping the last present, she glanced at the clock.
"5:30… gives me just enough time to hide these…" Bambi murmured, scurrying to her hiding place no one knew of: a small gap below a staircase, safe out of sight and almost impossible to notice. In fact, she was the only one that knew of it. Bambi rushed to throw away the extra materials left by her wrapping, tossing it into a nearby thrash can. Glancing at the clock once again, she cursed herself.
"I might not have enough time before those bastards wake up…" she fretted, rushing upstairs two or three steps at a time and ducking into her room. She sighed in relief once again, making her way over to the bed and closing her eyes. This rest was short lived, seeing as how the annoying prince opened her door right on cue; 6:00 AM.
"Ushishishishi~ rise and shine, princess~" the blond chuckled in his normal sing-song like voice. When Bambi refused to stir, he laughed once more, taking out a knife and aiming it at her. Just as he was about to release it, a pair of glaring brown eyes met his.
"Throw that," she growled, "and you will never see the light of day again." This only made Belphegor laugh again.
"Shishishi~ today you're target practice, not the stupid toad~" he chimed in that same annoying tone.
"For the last freaking time, get the hell out of my room!" she shouted, eye twitching in aggravation as she shot up out of bed. "I'm not in the-"
Bambi was cut off as an extremely loud "VOOIII!" came from down the hall and Squalo entered behind Bel.
"VRAITS! SHUT THE HELL UP!" he shouted, causing Bambi to sweat-drop.
"Err, when he dies," she murmured, pointing at Bel, "I'll never be annoying again. I swear."
"I wish you two could go a DAY without fighting!" Squalo growled once more before turning around and returning to his room. Once he was gone, Bambi glared daggers at Bel.
"Shishi~ fine, I'll just use the froggy~" he chortled, turning and searching for the Mist guardian. Sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose, Bambi stood.
"That was what, three seconds of sleep?" she muttered, running a hand through her hair before going to take her morning shower
God, this sucked. Hard. Even when I improved it! Maybe I should've done something else… Nah. :3
