Part 5
Roki and Rika run all the way home and run inside still crying. Rika hugs
her sister and sighs. "Roki, He's still hurting from what he did.. He hates
himself."
Roki shakes her head looking at Rika. "Poor Zio, we all love him! Why can't
he see that?"
Rika sighs and shakes her head. "I don't know. But Zoe will at least have
her present from me and we need to finish wrapping the presents, remember?"
Roki grins and nods and they run to another room. They pull out a few toys
and begin to wrap them up. "You know, Dear Roki, that Zio's dream
was for all of us to live in peace and not suffer like the people he tried
to help.."
Roki nods smiling. "He had Demi build this city and we migrated to it.. His
battle was the signal and we went through the entrance in Nurvus and
activated the generator.."
Rika nods and chuckles to herself as she softly sighs. "Yes, He did plan
well. We've been happy and taken care of. But I still feel for the people
left up there."
Roki nods her head and smiles to her beautiful sister. "They'll be fine,
Zio kept his promise remember? He found us a better world!"
Rika nods. "Under Nurvus and under the earth of Motavia was a smart idea.
His great barrier protects us. Made from the same material the psycho
wand was."
Roki smiles and sighs. "But he won't be part of Christmas this year." She
says sadly lowering her head.
Rika puts a hand over her sister and smiles. "We'll manage, we always have.
And we can still keep hope up." Roki nods ae they finish wrapping the
presents.
Rika and Roki take careful care to package Zoe's big present because it's
fragile. Once finished they fall asleep on the couch and sleep. Their
dreams are happy and of the older days. They hug each other and dream of
their one love Zio while wishing he was there.
Morning comes and Little Zoe comes running in. She jumps on the couch and
starts jumping up and down. "Aunt Rika! Mommy Roki! Presents!!"
Rika and Roki groan and stir looking at Zoe. "Do you know what time it is
Zoe? Rika says looking at the clock.
Zoe nods and grins. "Its time for presents!! Its Christmas Day.." She says
with joy and a twinkle in her eye.
Rika groans and looks at her. "Its very improper to wake us up at 4:30 for
presents! Young lady."
Zoe lowers her head and mutters. "Sorry Aunt Rika and Mommy."
Rika and Roki smirk and tickle her. "Ha! Got ya!" Little Zoe giggles and
squirms and runs to the tree.
"Ooh two presents this year!! Yay! I love presents..." Roki smiles and sits
down by Zoe.
Rika sits down on the other side and looks to Zoe. "Do you remember what
Daddy said dear Zoe?"
Little Zoe thinks and shouts. "Be happy for everything you have and get,
Even if its little, Its more than someone else and is worth something."
Rika nods with a smile to little Zoe. "And do you know what it means?"
Little Zoe grins and nods. "It means we get to open presents and play with
them!"
Rika groans and Roki laughs handing Zoe the first present. It's a box
wrapped beautifully and she tears the paper away making a mess.
"Oh wow! I get a robe to wear! One that looks like the one mommy wears!!"
Squeals Zoe in delight and she hugs Roki. "Thank you Mommy! Now I can be
just like you!"
Roki smiles and strokes her hair. Rika grabs a package and hands it to
little Zoe. "This is from Aunt Rika, The stronger of us two."
Roki laughs. "In your dreams." Little Zoe tears it open and it opens up to
reveal a small suit of armor like Zio wore, Cloak and sword and all.
Zoe's eyes get big. "Armor like my Daddy!! Thankies aunty Rika!!!" She hugs
Rika and smiles softly fingering it.
Rika and Roki smile and look at Zoe. "That's all the presents for you
little Zoe. You're precious to us." Rika and Roki smile and give a hug to
Zoe tickling her stomach.
"That's not the last present, Ladies." Says a voice from the open doorway
as they all turn to glance at who spoke. The pre-dawn sky only lets a
shadow of the person show and they wonder who it could be.
Roki and Rika run all the way home and run inside still crying. Rika hugs
her sister and sighs. "Roki, He's still hurting from what he did.. He hates
himself."
