Hello gorgeous awesome readers! Thanks for supporting this wacky story. Thank you especially much to my glorious and nifty reviewers. Reviews are my favorite, you guys are rockin' the Christmas stockin's! Love all around!
Finland's arms ached as he lugged another case of "Angry Birds" wrapping paper into his office. Half of his reindeer team had come down with hoof and mouth disease, so he had to work extra hard to wrap everybody's presents while his elf assistants tended to the sick animals.
"Come on Finny!" he encouraged himself as he set down the box, unrolled another sheet of wrapping paper and dragged a box of Kindle Fires next to him. "Christmas spirit can help you overcome lack of sleep! And when Christmas spirit runs low, you can always eat more sugar cookies!"
But sweet Finland could only substitute sleep with sugar for so long. A couple boxes later he had collapsed onto the office floor in a deep, dreamless slumber of exhaustion.
Sweden rolled into Finland's office to find the love of his life sprawled out over bunches of wrapping paper and unwrapped presents.
Cute...
Sweden's first inclination would be to roll over next to Finland's sleeping form and curl up beside him, but given the last impression of himself he'd left Finland with, this was probably NOT the best idea.
Instead Sweden hopped over (Who knows how he could hop? You would think it wouldn't be possible given the generally non-bouncy nature of Magic 8 Balls. Must be love. With love, anything is possible.) to the box of Kindles and gently pushed one box onto the floor. He rolled the wrapping paper back and nudged the Kindle box into the center of the paper.
Alright, so far, so good. Now for cutting it. After a rolling around over the scissors a few times with no results, he decided to abandon that strategy.
Hmm...how was he supposed to cut things like this? He stared at the wrapping paper with such intense concentration that the paper actually started to singe.
His super-stare laser-vision powers! He hadn't known that he would still be able to use them in this form. Perfect! They weren't at full strength because he didn't have his glasses to focus them, but they were enough to be a scissors-substitute.
It was a bit interesting that he was able to laser vision when he no longer technically had eyes, but whatever. He'd been turned into a Magic blinkin' 8 Ball. If his opposition could wield powers that were completely illogical, he should be able to also.
Besides, the love of his life needed help. And love in its highest form beats out logic every single time.
