garland

If you thought that Garland Siebald was always so graceful as he seemed to be, think again. Currently he lay sprawled on his bed, snoring slightly and drooling. Covers were on the floor and four of the five pillows were dry and on the floor. Take a wild guess where he was drooling on.

How could this happen? A lot of things can happen if you upset him, irritate him to the bone. Mystel and Brooklyn made that mistake. Both of them were excited about upcoming christmas, so much that they were ready to irritate Garland. Unintetionally or not, they'd better regret.

What had happened? Well, both boys were singing (much to Ming Ming's distaste) and decorating the house. And you maybe can tell the odd similarities between Garland's name and the decoration... They daunted him, coming up every now and then and tormenting him. You have no idea what kind of thing it was to Garland, who actually was pretty sensitive what it came to his parents' doings. No wonder. He is the youngest and got the most humiliating name.

What he did to end up like that? He took off from the house, very pissed and met up with one certain someone, who was heading to a bar, wanting to get waisted big time. Of course Garland agreed to go with this someone. Well, they got waisted, managed to get to the other one's apartment without incidents. After that, I believe you can imagine what followed.... Run for your lives, even I don't know how he got back to the house but it sure wasn't a good idea. Brooklyn and Mystel peeked around the left ajar door.

"Oooooohhh Gaarrrllaaaaanndd..."

"Bug off, Mystel... I don't wanna hear from you for a week..."

"Well that wasn't nice thing to say."

"Hit the road, Brooklyn. i love you guys but I hate Christmas time as everyone mocks me..."

Both boys fell silent. Oh what a mistake they made. They made their beloved captain feel himself miserable. And he obviously had a hangover. Garland flung the damp pillow across the room, to the opposite wall.

"We're sorry, Garland. We had no idea..."

Brooklyn lazily made his way to the room and picked up the covers and the dry pillows, setting them back on the bed until sitting next to the silver haired captain. Mystel (surprisingly) walked to them, jumping to Garland's other side.

"We really are sorry..." Mystel looked like he was about to cry.

"Can we stay here?"

"If you be quiet... Even a needle dropping wound create an earthquake in my head."

"Hey, Gar- oh, you all are here. I was wondering where did you go."

"Keep it quiet, Ming", Mystel said as their captain began to drift off again.

"I just came to say that it's snowing outside", Ming Ming whispered as Crusher came in with Monica. The little girl was practically a little sister for the team and she admired Garland. They silently decorated the room, careful not to wake him and put as few garlands as they just could leave out. Maybe he'd get better Christmas memories from now on...
