When the old man got his energy back he slowly opened the box as if he was savoring the memories that it contained. "Hey Yumi!" Ulrich said as he ran towards Yumi who had her back to him. Yumi turned and smiled. Suddenly she could feel Ulrich warm body against hers. After a few minutes they broke the embrace. "You will love this." Ulrich said as he pointed to the bag he was carrying. Yumi smiled, "I think you will like yours too." The couple grabbed each other's hand and slowly walked, taking their time to take in the beauty of the small stores. It was quickly getting dark outside, the couple stayed. They figured that if Mr.Ishiyama had come home to calm down then he would need his space. The couple slowly wondered towards the German Market. The German Market was a beautiful place in the winter. The German Market had toys, beautiful glass ornaments, and great food galore. "Hey let's get a pretzel." Yumi suggested. "Ok." Ulrich said as he got in line. Yumi found a table to sit at and looked at the windows of some stores. I wonder what he got me? Yumi thought to herself. In line Ulrich was getting impatient. There was only one staff member at the little booth and he was getting swarmed by tons of people. Finally when Ulrich got to the head of the line and quickly ordered so he could get back to Yumi. When the staff member handed Ulrich his pretzel it was piping hot and Ulrich quickly set it down. "Do you need something young man?" The staff member asked Ulrich. Ulrich wasn't currently in a good mood so he answered sarcastically, "Yeah maybe I would like something to hold my pretzel with." The staff member was confused, "So what do you want to hold it with?" Ulrich totally lost his patience, "A napkin perhaps!" The staff member looked at Ulrich as if he was stupid and handed him a napkin. Ulrich quickly snatched the napkin from the man and turned, "Come again." Was all Ulrich heard coming from behind him as he quickly walked towards Yumi. What an idiot. Ulrich thought to himself. "Hey what took you?" Yumi asked as she smiled up in Ulrich's warm face. "Nothing." Ulrich said as he sat next to Yumi and offered her the pretzel. Yumi took a small bite and handed it back to Ulrich. Ulrich took a bite and put it down on the table. "So what are we going to do tomorrow?" Ulrich asked as he leaned over to look in Yumi's face. "I don't know, my parents did get invitations for a Christmas party and I can go with someone." Ulrich smiled, "Well who's the lucky guy?" Yumi winked, "Well I don't know…" Ulrich smiled, "Well does that certain someone know what your middle name is, your favorite food, and how soft your bed is?" Yumi looked at Ulrich and laughed, "Yeah, I think so." Ulrich leaned over and gave Yumi a peck on the cheek, "I accept." Yumi laughed. After the couple finished their pretzel they made their way through the masses of people to watch a German band play. There were 3 old men dressed in decorated shirts and flannel designed pants. They all had little green hats and they were all playing different types of instruments. Everybody in the crowd clapped and kept time with the beat. When the band started to play Jingle Bells they handed out small pieces of materiel that had large bells on them. One of the men came up to Yumi and held the bells in her face, swinging them back and forth trying to get her to take one. Yumi laughed and finally gave in when Ulrich wouldn't stop nudging her. In the music where ever a man would point to you, you had to shake the bells like crazy. Soon Yumi couldn't stop laughing. When a man would point to Yumi and she didn't shake the bells Ulrich would tickle her sides until she did. When the song was over the couple walked around until they found a fountain that had lights of different colors bouncing off the water. When they got to the railing near the fountain the couple looked at the fountain for a while, mystified the beauty of the fountain. "Think if we throw a quarter in the fountain we'll have good luck?" Ulrich whispered into Yumi's ear. Yumi closed her eyes, "I don't know maybe it will." Ulrich fished in his pockets until he found a quarter. "Do you want to throw it in or me?" he asked Yumi. Yumi smiled at him, "Let's both do it." Yumi put her hand around Ulrich's and they threw the quarter in the fountain. They watched it until they couldn't see it in the water anymore. "It's really getting late Ulrich, I think we should start getting back." Ulrich nodded as he slowly slid his hand into Yumi's. As they started to walk back Yumi slowly put her head on Ulrich's shoulder. Ulrich smiled and turned so his face was in her hair. "Did you have a good day today?" he asked softly in her ear. "Yeah." Yumi said. Ulrich closed his eyes and smiled to himself, he was the luckiest guy on Earth.
