"Dull December Days"

The first few days of December were always dull for the Princess of Crystal Tokyo. It was too early to do any serious shopping for her friends, it was cold but snow had barely begun to fall & there was no school.

All of these things lead to a very bored teenager.

Said teen was currently in her room subjecting her cat guardian to her whines of boredom.

"Well if you're so bored why don't you go visit one of the orphanages or clean your room." Diana answered sleepily.

"Did both of those things earlier this week.", Small Lady replied.

"Why don't you visit the asteroid senshi then?", the guardian asked.

"They're home with their families for the week & I don't want to bother them.", the pink haired Princess replied dejectedly

"Yet you have no trouble bothering me", Diana snarked sounding just like her mother.

"Grumpy old cat", the princess muttered as she got up to leave her room.

Perhaps she would go for a walk to the park & sightsee since the palace was empty. The whole town was decorated beautifully since Christmas was her mother's favorite holiday. Unfortunately, her parents were out of town on business & most of their guardians had accompanied them so the Princess was truly alone for the next few days. Yes, sightseeing would have to do until she got bored enough to fall asleep. At least then she'd be able to see Helios. These thoughts brought a big smile to Small Lady's face. She was still smiling as she nodded to the palace guards to open the gates for her.

As soon the princess stepped outside the palace she was hit in the face with a wet, muddy snowball. She shrieked in surprise.

"Right in the kisser!" Junjun yelled triumphantly as the other asteroid senshi roared with laughter.

"What are you guys doing here?!", Small Lady asked laughing as she wiped the watery snow from her face.

"We knew you'd be missing us", CereCere said as she bent to gather more snow. "Turns out we missed you too and we really didn't want you to be alone this weekend"

"So we cut our week home short", VesVes chimed in. "We brought popcorn and movies."

"And I got makeup!", the youngest asteroid Palla squealed with excitement. "We'll have a girls' night!"

"Awe, you guys!" The princess said & a huge smile spread across her face.

She was really lucky to have such loyal friends and great guardians.

At that moment CereCere launched her snowball and hit the pink haired girl again.

"You guys are dead!" the pink haired Princess screamed and took off after her laughing guardians.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a dull day after all.
