December 8, 2008 :: 17 more days to go!
--
Link was avoiding the Smashers.
They were in full-on Christmas mode now, despite the fact there was 17 days to go and not everyone had bought the presents. Link had, but they weren't presents in the real sense of the world. Then he remembered - he still had to wrap them. Oh well, anything to kill the time.
Yoshi was busy watching Scream downstairs with nearly everyone, so he had nobody to distract him. Snake was superglued to his computer so he couldn't annoy Link about anything. And most of all, Fox was out, so the house was quiet. Link whistled as he walked out of his room and into the massive storage room - which held seemingly unlimited amounts of everything - and hunted for Christmas wrapping paper. Holding a few large boxes of the stuff, he ran back to his room and got to work.

"Where's Link?" Kirby asked, cuddled up to Mario on the sofa. "Isn't Scream his favourite movie?"
"Yeah," Mario shrugged. "He said he was going to water his plant."
"Strange," Kirby sighed. "That such a ruthless and sadistic maniac as Link should care for a begonia."
"And it was dead when he got it!"
"Give him credit. He's watered it every day."
"Only because he can't be bothered to go upstairs to the toilet."

Link had only wrapped a few presents and he was already bored. Soothing music was what he needed. He inserted a random CD into his CD player and smiled to himself. Slayer's Raining Blood blasted from the speakers, echoing all over the house. Even with the TV turned right up, nobody downstairs could hear it.
"LINK! TURN IT DOWN!"
Link turned it down the tiniest fraction.
The terrible sounds of Slayer continued to boom all over the house.
