Happy Valentine's Day!
Midnight already knew what Lukas wanted.
She overheard him talking to Jesse about how he needed another book and quill (The third one of the month) and she had decided to wait until the last minute to actually get it. Thankfully, she still had a one day left until the 14th, but she needed to go now. She knew if she didn't do it now, then she would never do it. She didn't need to get him anything, but she thought it would be nice.
Because who didn't appreciate something along with chocolate on Valentine's Day?
Then she remembered. She also wanted to get him on of those heart boxes with chocolate in them. Now that she knew what she wanted to get him, she just needed the right money. Thankfully, she had been saving up for everything.
Midnight walked through the several isles of the store, looking for the book and quill and, if she could find any, chocolate.
Finally, as though a miracle happened, she found them.
Once she had bought them, using all the iron she had saved up and some extra, she raced to Lukas' cabin, where she knew he would be thinking of ideas for stories.
She didn't expect to see Alexa already giving him a book and quill that she had bought, three days before. The exact same one Midnight had spent all of her money on. She had even bordered every single page perfectly. What was worse, she spotted a box of chocolates on the table behind them. Alexa had given him everything he wanted and more, and now the sun rose, signaling the start of a new day.
But not just any day, Valentine's Day.
Even though she was already too late, she knocked on the door, gifts hidden behind her back. When Alexa answered the door and invited her in, she spotted the gifts that Midnight thought would be rejected, because now he had it already.
"Did you...?"
"Yeah, just yesterday. Too late."
"You know, he did say something about having another extra book just in case."
As though on cue, Lukas came back at that exact moment. "Hey Midnight." He said. "Hi Lukas, I just wanted to stop by, because it's Valentine's Day, and-"
"She got you the exact same stuff I did, and I told her it wasn't too late."
Of course, that was true, but she was hoping that Alexa wouldn't say it for her.
"Really?"
"Yeah, she's right. I did. Except I noticed her's didn't have carmel chocolate." And she gave him the box. "Wait, what?!" Perfect, carmel chocolate. "This is amazing! Although, maybe next time..."
"What?" Both girls asked in unison.
"Can one of you two at least tell me that you have a crush on me?"
"Wait-"
"How did you-?"
"Really? You two made it really obvious."
"But how did you know?" Both girls were as red as tomatoes.
"Simple. Jesse and Petra told me."
Midnight and Alexa shared a look.
"Payback?"
"Payback."
A/N
Okay, I'll admit. That one wasn't the best. Could've turned out better, but it also could've been worse.
Midnight: I didn't think it was that bad.
Alexa: Me neither. Plus, that little twist at the end was pretty good.
Midnight: Also, are you posting on two different stories in one day?
Yep. Might as well get this up as close as I can to Valentine's Day.
Alexa: What's next?
Pretty sure St. Patrick's Day is next. Or maybe something else. Don't know. Let's reply to the review!
The Princess of Pink: Noted. Other holidays. Well, I guess the story would've had a different title if it was just for New Year's.
