Till I Slip on the Sidewalk and Fall on My Face

"Seriously, this is stupid. I don't want to spend Christmas with that family of freaks," complained Neru as she and Haku walked out of the airport where they'd just arrived.

"C'mon, Neru, everyone's looking forward to seeing us," Haku stated, now gloomy from having to listen to Neru the entire plane ride here. "Can't you at least pretend to be happy?"

"No I ca— WOAH!"

Neru was cut off as she teetered unsteadily, losing her balance as her foot slid on a puddle of ice, and then fell forward, her face hitting the ground with an audible smack. Haku muffled a giggle, and Neru glared up at her.

"This never happened," she stated.

Haku nodded, grinning from ear to ear, but is was doubtful that this would stay a secret for long.

Author's Note: Muahaha. Love you, Neru.
