Day 1 - Decorating

"Good morning, Diana!" The petite brunette screamed as she entered the guest room her family has prepared for the British witch, who quickly sat up on the bed, startled by the hyper intruder. She had grabbed her wand and pointed it at the other.

"WOAH! WAIT, WAIT. IT'S ME!" Atsuko brought her hands up, her face showing terror as she yelled frantically.

The blonde blinked a few times, calming down and sighing before her face returned to her usual serene demeanor, the wand being put away. "Akko…" She started with a stern tone. "I will let you know that it is of bad manners to wake up a person that way." Her feet now out of the blankets and touching the ground while still sitting on the bed.

"I know, I know… But!" A pout was formed on her face.

The image amused the normally severe witch, although she didn't show it on her face, but something then hit her. The witch known for being a troublemaker and definitely not known for being a morning bird was there; fully clothed and even had come to wake her up, in the scariest way possible. That made her confused and it showed on her face as she looked at the clock. "How come you are already awake? I did not intend to offend you, but you aren't usually awake before me."

Those words earned a massive smirk on the ruby-eyed girl "Diana, Diana. Tsk, Tsk." She started moving towards her and taking a seat next to her as she put an arm around the shoulders of her classmate. "You remember that you are in the Kagari household, yes?"

"Yes, I am very aware of that." Diana nodded, curving an eyebrow.

The two witches had started to form a more obvious friendship after the events involving the missile and the leader of the Blue team who had been invited by the Japanese witch to spend the holidays with her in Japan. The shorter girl used dirty tactics. By reminding her how she used to treat her, she convinced her that coming along and helping her would make up for all those times.

"And you know I looove holidays, right? My family loves holidays." She kept the smug expression as she continued her questions.

"Yes… What's the point of this questionnaire?" Now the British girl was somewhat annoyed. She couldn't point out the necessity of it.

"もう！(Mou!)." The Japanese came out naturally from her as she found this distressful, it seemed that the heir of the Cavendish family wouldn't understand, but she gave it another try. "Diana, remember what my dad said last night?" She hoped that would make it click.

After that question, which the European took more seriously now since the father of her friend was mentioned, her face showing a pensive expression for a moment. "I remember, yes. That we had a special mission. I thought about asking him about it during breakfast."

The brunette finally chuckled. "Diana, my parents are out."

"Oh…" Both of the delicate brows on the other's face lifted. "So… What could the mission be? You already know about it?"

"Ho ho ho. Of course, I do!" Atsuko stood up and put her hands on her hips, looking proud. "There are two weeks until Christmas! And we're gonna decorate the house!" She announced giving a firm nod.

The eyelids of the blonde moved up and down, as she processed the words. She didn't know how to react. After all she didn't think that would be something she would be doing; not that she minded, the Cavendish household always decorated the mansion and threw parties, but of course, that would be the staff's job.

"I understand. Do we have any specific indications? Should I write them down?" She was ready to bring out her notebook, reaching out to the nightstand, but was interrupted by a hand.

"Agh, Diana. You are too serious." The Japanese girl puffed one of her cheeks. "We don't have to do something like that.

"But-"

"However, we do have things to do first. Prepare yourself. We are going shopping."

"Eh?"

The troublemaker had once again a huge smile and Diana knew that wouldn't be a peaceful day. Although she almost never had one around the girl.

The serious witch couldn't believe the past few hours as she sat on the couch of the cozy and humble house. She sighed quietly and in exhaustion remembering the past events.

First, she was practically dragged out of the house with not much explanation other than they would get some lights and decoration, the hyper girl was so excited that they would run to get the public transport whenever they had to take it.

Second, they didn't only go to just one mall, but three. Why? 'Because they don't have my favorite kind of decoration, we really have to get this!' That was the sole reason she got from her petite brunette, and so they did that. They went everywhere and that was fine, the British girl wasn't that bothered by it.

What bothered her was the third point. While going on their adventure, Atsuko had spotted two weird Elf and Reindeer hats and not only did she buy them, but she made Diana wear it the entire time outside. Only remembering the giggle and the 'Look mom! A pwetty blond elf!' exclaim of a little girl inside the bus on their way back made her face red.

A chuckle and a warm sensation on her face that clearly wasn't her embarrassed blush snapped her out of the flashback, finding a cup filled with hot cocoa being offered by the beaming Japanese near her.

"Thank you very much." She thanked with a small smile, her fingers taking the piece of drinkware.

"Not a problem. We must recover before we put hands to work." The other sat on the chair next to the couch, getting comfy as she drank the sweet liquid.

Understanding the meaning, the blonde nodded and imitated her in drinking from the cup. She scanned the room, there was a tree without the decorations and thought perhaps that should be left last in their plans.

They both shared a comfortable silence for a while, sometimes exchanging ideas of how they would do things to make the place lively and festive with what they have bought.

"Alright. We should start soon!" Atsuko said, hands on hips as she stood in the middle of the room. She knew her friend would have heard her from the kitchen where the cups were being washed.

The guest returned, neatly drying her hands with a handkerchief. "Very well." She said, looking at the other grabbing the bags of decorations and bringing them outside.

The wealthy witch had more fun than she expected, certainly it had been long since she truly enjoyed the festivities, a lot of things of that nature were no longer dear to her after her mother died, but there she was, admittedly chuckling and smiling as she saw Atsuko trying to reach places for the lights over the windows and outside the house.

"I believe your parents trust your sense for aesthetics, Akko." She teased the red team member, looking at her jump from the ladder, both of them grabbing the sides of it to move it to the next location.

Her playful tone made the other squint, understanding the real meaning of those words. "Of course they do. I have a great one, thank you very much." She showed her tongue before climbing the ladder once again to finish the outside.

Once that was done, they were both excited to dress the tree inside and hurried to start with it.

"Diana, gingerbread figures are better!"

"I completely disagree. I believe the angels would make it more beautiful."

They also would argue about the choices they had, very passionately. Holding them in front of each other's face; Atsuko with her brows in a frown while clenching her teeth and Diana with her eyes closed and prideful pose.

"How about the teddy bears, eh? Diana, I know you luuuv them."

"I am sure I know a spell that can make you just as small as those figures."

The brunette's breath hitched and her figure shrunk, she knew her friend wouldn't threaten her by using magic outside the school unless she was serious.

The two witches finished their special mission and looked proudly at their creation for a few seconds. Their eyes met and an honest, happy laugh was shared. They enjoyed a nice moment without words albeit interrupted by the sound of the Kagari adults opening the door.

Atsuko glanced above the blond head and smiled to herself. "You know…" She started as she looked away and started walking to welcome her parents. "You are indeed a pwetty Elf."

"..."

"My, Diana." Mrs. Kagari exclaimed as she brought her hand to her mouth. "Are you okay, dear? Your face is really red. I hope it's not a fever."
