I smiled in victory as I scanned the room. As each person fell asleep I gave them a make over. I painted their arms, face, legs, basically anything exposed! My smile grew as I saw Vaults stir and then wake up.
"Morning hun." I gave him a wink and his eyes fell on his arms. To raise his Christmas spirit I colored one arm red and the other green.
"What the heck? Did you do this?" I nodded and he got up to chase after me. I didn't get very far because I tripped over a sleeping Natalie. That was gonna wake her up. She quickly spotted her arms and growled when she saw that I wrote I love Danny everywhere. Apparently me, Taro, and her mom were the only people who knew about that. So I'm probably dead.
"CHELSEA YOU ARE SO DEAD!" I knew I was psychic!
"Make that dead twice!" Vaults almost shouted.
"No wait…THREE TIMES!" Lilli came out of nowhere and tackled me. I had removed her makeup and made her look like a clown.
"Are the other two awake because I don't think I can live through dieing five times!" I cried.
"Oh, we're just gonna wash it off and forget about it, right Sabrina?" Julia asked.
"Yeah." She gave a shy nod and they went to the sink and help one another.
"Yay! I'm only gonna die three times!" Natalie and Lilli laughed and then the four of us entered an all out totally intense serious mature…TICKLE FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
"Oh my gosh, I'm 21 and I'm having a tickle fight with a bunch of girls." Vaults said after a minute. He got up and went over to wash his arms off.
"I think we should wash off our arms to…" the other two got up and followed him.
"Oh, your faces to!" the six of them simultaneously let out a sigh, "Have fun duckiest!"
XXXXXXXXXX
"Bye guys! See ya soon!" I waved off all my guests, "Well we really should get the table back in the house…I need it."
"We're taking it through the door this time." Vaults told me with a stern look on his face.
"I know. I don't want to hurt my poor window further." I said with a frown.
"What are we going to do about that? It's cold in here with that open space." We both thought for a minute.
"I guess I could ask Taro about it…." I pondered.
"Whatever…lets concentrate on the table first." I nodded and we went out of the house and to the back, "We'll lift it up and see if it fits in the door."
"OK! 1…2…3…" We lifted up the table and slowly brought it around to the front of my house. We then dropped it and I opened the door. "It's not going to fit."
"We'll make this work. We'll just turn it on its side." I nodded and went back over. We managed to fit the table in and put it back where it belongs, "Well now that we have alone time..."
"Perv!" he frowned and plopped down on my bed, "I know what we can do!"
"What?" he asked.
"We should go to the top of the mountain." I told him.
"And do what?" I climbed on my bed and snuggled near him, "Look who the pervert is now."
"It's only OK when I do it!" I smiled, "Anyway, I just wanted to go up there because it's so pretty. Especially with the snow falling and everything."
"Yea…you're right." He pushed me off, "OK, we can go."
"What was that for?" Seriously, why did he just push me off?
"You were in my way, hun." He winked as I stuck my tongue out, "Bundle up it's cold out."
"Yes mother." I grabbed my jacket and started to head towards the door.
"You are not going out in that." I turned around and gave Vaults a 'You're kidding right?' look, "I'm not kidding. I will not have you freeze to death out there."
"Aw that's sweet! This is the only jacket I have though." I searched the room, "Oh, I have a lighter weight jacket I could wear!"
"Take my scarf to." I smiled and gladly took his big warm scarf. I threw it around my neck messily.
"I don't think this how I wear it." Vaults half smiled and fixed it for me.
"There, now you have permission to leave." He kissed my forehead and we walked out.
"OH MY MAYONAISE COVERED CAT!" I yelled as I ran over to one of my cows that had decided to go for a stroll, "GET BACK IN THE BARN!"
"Don't you have a bell?" A bell? Why would I need that?
"No…why?" I asked.
"Cause that is what you use to call your animals in and out of the barn…" Great…maybe I can push her back in. I ran over to my cow.
"Hey sweetie, it's time to go in the barn!" I tried to push her gently, but she mooed angrily, "Please?"
"I'm gonna grab a bell from my bag!" THANK YOU VAULTS! I'm so glad to have an animal trader living with me. I smiled as he walked in the house and came back out with a shiny, golden bell, "Here."
"Thank you! Do you know I love you?" he rolled his eyes and I rang the bell.
"You have to ring it near the barn door." Oh…that makes sense. I ran over to the barn and ran it again. This time the cow went into the barn.
"YAY!" I dropped the bell and hugged Vaults, "You're the best!"
"Whatever." Vaults still wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. He lowered his head near my ear and whispered, "I love you."
"Pervert~" Vaults immediately jumped back.
"What is with you today?" I giggled and took his hand.
"Lets go!" Vaults nodded and we walked of into the sunset!
Just kidding! It's only noon anyway!
"Are you cold?" Vaults asked.
"No, I'm fine!" I reassured him.
"Are you sure? You can always have my jacket, or I can run in and get you another sweater." I sighed.
"I'm fine. Oh look it's Taro!" I let go of Vaults's hand and ran over to the old man, "Hey Taro do you know how I can fix my window?"
"You could ask Chen to order you a new one, and Ganon could install it." Wow…he's smart!
"OK, thanks!" Vaults caught up with me and we continued our walk.
XXXXXXXXX
"Yay! We finally got here!" It took about forever and a half to get to the top of mountain and I was pleased to finally be here.
"I'm gonna lie down and die now." Vaults fell on the ground, "You sure you aren't cold?"
"Yes!" I answered for the millionth time today as I plopped down next to him, "Isn't the view so pretty?"
"Yeah…" we both stared in silence as the snow fell in the gray sky. I looked at my watch.
"Wow! It's 3 'o clock! I wonder why it took so long…" Vaults sighed.
"Maybe because you had to stop and talk to everyone and look at everything." He answered.
"I was just taking a little time to appreciate nature and chat with the wonderful people on the island." I glared at him, "You're no better! You were so flirting with Alisa!"
"Was not!" he fought back.
"Oh you so was!" We glared at each other for a minute.
"Why are we fighting?" he asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's our strange way of showing affection!" Vaults looked like he was actually seriously thinking about it…YAY!
"No." I frowned. He moved closer to me and gave me a slow, long, wonderful, fabulous, heavenly, kiss, "That's how we show our affection."
"YAY! I want more of affection!" He smiled.
Three hours later…
"We're still here, did you know that?" I asked Vaults. He just rolled his eyes and ignored the question, "I'M TIRED!"
"Then we might as well head home cause so you can talk to the people and plants." I frowned.
"I think I'm just gonna sleep here tonight." I closed my eyes and started to snore like he did.
"Chelsea…get up." I shook my head.
"You have to carry me home!" he sighed.
"You're hopeless." When I felt myself going up I knew he had given in. My eyes shot open and I smiled evilly.
"Thank you Mommy!" I closed my eyes again and actually fell asleep.
