There are only 3 days left until Christmas. Rein and Fine want to get a present for Shade and Bright but have so many doubts about their choices. This how the pair
ended up in front of Ome's door at lunchtime. As they walked in, they saw the girl sipping tea.
"Hello Rein, Fine. What brings you here today?"
"Hi Ome! We need some advice for Christmas." She put her teacup down and poured the older girls drinks.
"Why am I being raided today? By the way it's oolong Darjeeling tea."
"People are coming to you for advice?"
"Yes but what can I tell them? I'm a principal not a guidance counselor for love worries." the girls laughed.
"We were wondering what to get-" She laughed again.
"Every girl that has come to me is worrying about what to get their crush. Really… What do those 2 even like? I have no idea…"
"Ome!"
"What?"
"You know at least some things about them don't you?" The twins yelled. She sighed.
"What'd you guys have in mind?
"A tie." Fine said.
"A pair of shoes." Rein said
"Isn't that good enough?"
"But we feel like they could use something more useful…"
"Useful? Bright could use dancing shoes since he seems to be a master at ballroom dancing. And Shade… maybe a textbook?"
"A textbook?"
"Why not?"
"Can you help me look for one Ome? I'm not good with textbooks so-"
"You don't need to say anything, Fine. I thought you would ask so catch." She threw a giant chemistry textbook. It definitely seems complex…
"Thank you Ome!"
"No problem! Anyway have you decided where to go for your lovely dates?"
"Well I'm going to a café with Shade to eat a holiday special dessert and Rein's going for a walk with Bright."
"Well isn't that nice? Fine be careful not to order everything on the menu ok?"
"Ome!"
"Joking and anyway I think it's about time you guys head back. There's 5 minutes till the bell." She pointed to the clock above her. The princesses scrambled out of the office as Ome tried to hold her laughter.
"There's actually 15 minutes left." The clock she pointed to had actually stopped a while ago. It just happened to be set at that time. Isn't that such a coincidence?
"Shade, Bright hurry up and come in." The door slowly opened as the 2 blushingly walked in.
"How'd you know?" It can't be? Now she can see through doors?
"You know your hair colors are bright. I could see Bright's hair near the opening of my office. How long have you been spying?"
"Well around the time you gave Fine the book. Why'd you give her a textbook?" Shade asked.
"Who knows? So what are you here for? Love concerns?" She sipped her tea. They both nodded.
"You want me to help you think of presents for those 2?"
"And we need tips! It's our first date with them!"
"Really? Wasn't the Test of Courage I set up another date?"
"Really?"
"Wasn't it romantic?" She grinned. Man, Ome sure loves teasing these 2.
"Putting that aside what do Fine and Rein like?!"
"How would I know?!"
"Aren't you their friend?"
"Yes but I'm everyone's companion."
"Do you have any idea what kind of things they like?"
"Fine likes sports and Rein likes dresses."
"Headmistress! We know that!"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Bracelets." Both of them said.
"Are you guys even thinking?"
"It's not a good idea?"
"More like are you planning on getting them both bracelets?"
"Yes. Is there a-"
"Of course there is! Why would you give twins the same type of present?!"
"Oh I see."
"Don't 'Oh I see' me! Do I need to knock some sense into you hopeless princes?"
"No!"
"Then please think of something they could use everyday that suits them. Or else…" Ome calmed down as her giant mallet appeared in her hand.
"Wristband." Shade yelled.
"A dress?" Bright said.
"At least that sounds reasonable, Shade. Bright, maybe you should pick something else."
"Why? Doesn't Rein like dresses?"
"What kind of present do you want her to have?"
"Something she'll love forever."
"You know if you get her a dress, she'll eventually outgrow it."
"Then should I get her a larger size?"
"That's not the point… Can't you think of something that she will be able to wear everyday?
"A choker?"
"Never mind. I give up with you… How about a necklace and bracelet pair? Now what colors will they be?"
"Pink and Red." Shade said.
"Blue."
"Eh? Bright that seems plain… I think you'd be better off buying a regular necklace and bracelet with charms that can be attached on it."
"That's a great idea! I never thought of that!" Bright said. Ome just stared out the window as Shade face palmed himself.
"Bright you better hope Rein doesn't hear anything like that coming out of your mouth. That's just sad coming from the Jewelry Kingdom's prince…"
"I agree…" Shade said.
"To not know how to pick out a gift for a girl who loves dressing up… the future looks dim… Even Shade can pick out a suitable present for Fine!"
"I know. Real- wait a second! Headmistress! What are you implying?" Shade shouted.
"Anyway… There's something I want you to get them as well. Hair pins."
"Why?"
"It'll come in handy after New Years. Be careful of your choice and make sure it's not too big." She looked like she was plotting something evil.
"Yes."
"Now hurry back. There are only 2 minutes left before the bell rings."
"Tell us sooner!" The boys almost ran into the door as they panicked to get to their classroom.
Me: *Sigh*
Bright: What's wrong Ome?
Me: Well since we wasted so much time helping you pick a fitting present for Rein, I couldn't give you guys love advice. I was really bored and it would've kept me busy…
Bright: Now that you mention it we did ask for tips…
Shade: But knowing this girl she would be secretly hoping to do something else right?
Me: Wow Shade! How'd you know?
Shade and Bright: Because it seems like you always want to torture us in the story…
Me: Oh please boys! That's called having a little fun! I haven't hurt you guys yet now have I?
Shade and Bright: YET? We don't want to die so soon…
Me: Why are you guys mentioning dying? I wouldn't kill you. The most I could do is send you to the hospital.
Shade and Bright: *has a bad feeling about this* Are you sure you don't mean sending us to the hospital and dying there?
Me: You guys really don't believe me? Maybe I should go call Fine and Rein and tell them about the essay you guys read to them filled with your love for them. Oh how sweet~
Shade and Bright: NO!
