Morton's Christmas
Rubbing my collar nervously, I stood outside of the house, hidden deep in the tropics. To be honest, I didn't know if she even wanted me here.
I met Birdo a few months ago. My airship crash-landed here. She helped me get home. and I..wasn't really the nicest to her. I mean, she even saved me from getting eaten by a giant dinosaur! And I was a jerk.
One day, I heard Ludwig and Yoshi talking about her. Yoshi was telling Ludwig that Birdo was practically disowned by the other Birdos...for some reason. He didn't say why. Then I remembered that Christmas was coming..and Lemmy always says "No one should spend Christmas alone!"
So, I ended up borrowing another airship, grabbing a punch of snacks for the trip, and flew my way to Yoshi's Island, where Birdo lived. I didn't remember exactly where her house was, but I was pretty sure that I could find it.
And that's how I ended up standing outside of her door. I was scared...very scared. I know she hated that I was spoiled..and hated that I treated her bad and stuff...but she was alone in there. Taking a deep breath, I reached out, knocking on the door.
After a minute or two of waiting, the small, pink haired woman opened the door, rubbing one sleepy eye. "Hello?" she asked yawning.
'She's really pretty...without all that makeup on.." I thought as I thrusted the box of little cakes against her chest. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I shouted, squeezing my eyes shut a blush creeping onto my cheeks.
She stared down at the box before slowly wrapping her arms around it, holding it to her chest. Reaching up to touch my cheek, she smiled as I opened my eyes. "Why don't you come inside and we can eat these together?" she asked.
Maybe she didn't hate me so much after all.
