The idea was funny, but when I put it into words, not so funny.


A tribute to the newly fallen snow and hot coco.
Pegasus sat on the maroon, leather couch in the center of the small living room, watching the news on TV. When he heard the front door open, accompanied by a woman's voice shouting, "I'm home," he jumped up to greet the woman.

Her long, silky, black hair was spotted with white puffs of snow. Her tan coat was also sprinkled with the soft puffs. Her cheeks, ears and nose were all reddened. In one of her bare hands she held a brown paper bag, the other was shoved deep into her coat pocket.

She set the bag onto the floor, took off her coat and hung it up by the time Pegasus had come to greet her by joyfully saying, "Ishizu-kun! You're home!" He gave her a quick hug. She responded just as joyfully, "Yes, it's snowing out!"

Pegasus smiled, "I see." He brushed the melting puffs off of her head, playfully. "Did you get it?"

She nodded and responded, "Yes."

His eyes lit up at her response and he suggested, "You look like you're freezing! You go into the living room and warm up; I'll make some hot coco."

She flashed a smile. "Thank you." She then headed into the living room. She picked up a red comforter off of the floor, wrapped herself in it and then snuggled on the couch.

Pegasus took the paper bag and went into the kitchen. When he got there, he set the bag on the counter and emptied it of it's contents: a box of coco mix and a bag of mini marshmallows. He got two mugs out of the cabinet and filled them with water. He then set them in the microwave to be heated for one minute. He open the box and took out two packets. He ambled around the kitchen for a moment while the water was heating up. Finally, there was a ding. He took out the mugs and poured, from the packets, the coco mix. He stirred them with extreme caution. He opened the bag of marshmallows and plopped a few into each cup. Carefully, he took a cup in each hand and headed into the living room.

Ishizu looked up when Pegasus finally entered, slightly impatient. Pegasus slowly handed Ishizu her hot chocolate and sat down next to her.

Ishizu took a sip. She leaned into Pegasus, who wrapped his arm across her shoulders. She smiled and said, "Pegasus, je t'aime."

Pegasus wrinkled his brow and responded, "Huh?"


Je t'aime is French for I like you.
