Elvengirl10: Well…I hope everyone's having a good holiday still. This will probably count as the fastest update in history for me. My goal is to update at least one chapter every day, with a few exceptions due to time constraints.
Disclaimer: Don't own Seed, or Seed Destiny (If I did own the latter, a lot of stuff would've been changed) I also don't own Azumanga Daioh, which is where I got the inspiration for this.
Reindeer. Fact or Fiction?
"I wonder what Santa's going to bring me this year," said Shinn, flopping on a nearby couch.
"I asked for Athrun," Lunamaria sighed. Rey and Shinn exchanged glances. Lunamaria was obsessed. They'd heard about the mistletoe incident.
"Did you ask for anything, Rey?" asked Shinn, a child-like innocence in his eye.
"Well…" Rey began.
"You still believe in Santa, Shinn?" Heine inquired, coming into the room, "Don't you know that he's really your parents?"
Shinn winced. Rey shook his head.
"You're wrong, Heine. Santa exists!" Shinn exploded. Lunamaria looked at Rey, relief clear in her eyes. He was arguing to protect his childhood dream. At least Cagalli wasn't here.
"Prove it!"
"I heard him. Before the war, when I was in ORB, my sister and I snuck downstairs really early and we heard the reindeer flying away."
"You believe in reindeer to?" Heine began laughing.
"Actually…" Rey started.
"Don't tell me you believe in them to, Rey."
"I don't…well not Santa, but reindeer are real."
"What?" Heine stopped laughing. Lunamaria gave him a funny look.
"It's true. They don't' fly, but they still exist. They look like a cross between and elk and a moose."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Ask anyone."
Heine ran out of the room, determined to find out.
"Arthur, do reindeer exist?"
"Yes…why?"
Arthur received no response. Heine had moved on.
"Captain Talia, are reindeer real?"
"Yes Heine, they are. You find them up north."
"Chairman Dullindal, is there such a thing as reindeer?"
"Indeed. Why do you ask?"
"Um…no reason…"
"Hey Athrun! Do you know if reindeer exist?" Heine had to run to catch up to Athrun.
"Think so. Why?"
"Long story. Where are you going?"
"Shopping. I forgot Cagalli's present."
"Sucks to be you. Good luck."
Heine came back into the room where Rey, Shinn, and Lunamaria were, tired and out of breath. He glared at the three of him.
"You may have won this round, but there will be another!" He exclaimed, before flopping on the couch beside Shinn, who shot a dirty look at him. Shinn got up and moved to the other couch.
"What's wrong, Shinn?" Lunamaria asked.
"Luna…" said Shinn in a quiet voice.
"What?"
"Santa's real, right?"
Elvengirl10: How was that? All right? Good? Bad? Could be better? Let me know.
