I woke up to some very loud, low coughing. I looked on the floor and quickly spotted the source: Vaults.

"You little bi-"

"Watch your language little missy!" I smiled, "I feel a lot better today!"

"Whatever…you're the one that got me sick in the first place." he frowned.

"I love you to!" I giggled and stared admiringly at the perfect ring he had given to me yesterday.

"Are you talking to the ring or-ACHOO!" I handed him a tissue.

"I'll make you some soup." I jumped out of bed and ran over to my kitchen. I searched for some soup ingredients. I had stuff for broth, but my only veggie was carrots. I know from experience that Vaults doesn't like carrots. I have to have something he likes though…he likes chocolate and milk and porridge. So maybe I should try chocolate soup! That sounds yummy just thinking about it! I threw all the ingredients into the pot and waited a few seconds for a bowl of soup to magically pop out. I smiled as it popped out and landed in my hands. It looked like chocolate syrup! I giggled and walked back over to Vaults, "Here you go!"

"Uh…thanks?" he coughed into his sleeve and took the soup from me.

"Oh, here's a spoon!" I handed it to him and waited nervously as he slowly lifted the soup to mouth. Vaults blew on it for a few seconds and then looked up at me.

"Why are you watching me?" he asked.

"I want to know if you like it!" he sighed and slurped up the soup. After a few seconds his violet eyes went wide with disgust.

"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN HERE!" He shouted.

"It's chocolate soup! I know you like chocolate so I thought you would maybe like it in you're soup!" Vaults glared at me and let out another sneeze.

"That's sweet of you to try, but next time stick to the recipe." I nodded and went over to the bookshelf.

"I'm going to read you a Christmas story!" I picked up my favorite picture book and sat down next to him.

"Do you really have to?" Vaults asked, irritated.

"Yes, yes I do." I flipped open the book, "Once upon a time there was a lonely princess named Cabbage."

"Cabbage?" Vaults looked over my shoulder at the book, "Wow, it really is Cabbage…"

"Yes, so anyway. Every Christmas Cabbage's father would lock her up in the highest tower in the castle. To make sure she couldn't wear the pretty dresses she wanted to, or dance at the Christmas Ball like she dreamed of doing every year. This made Cabbage-"

"Are you sure it isn't pronounced differently?" Oh. My. Small pox.

"Yes, I'm sure. Get over it. Now where was I…oh yes. This made Cabbage very sad because Christmas used to be her favorite night, until she turned thirteen. When she came to that age, her father would lock her up in fear that she would fall in love with a boy at the ball and be whisked away. Which sometimes she wanted to be true-"

"Why are you reading this to me?" Can't he shut up for two seconds?

"I'm reading it because it's my favorite book and you're my favorite person! OK…lets see…there we are! Cabbage always hoped that a boy would come and take her away to a better place, but that had never happened in all her years. So she wasn't expecting it to happen this year. Well, she expected a lot of things that went on that day not to happen. She sighed a bored sigh as she sat in the tower doing nothing. After a few minutes though, she heard a sound outside."

"It's a prince right?" Ignoring him, I returned to reading the story.

"The door slammed open and a handsome boy came in. He told her that he was here to save her, and not to fear. Cabbage smiled and asked the boy's name. He said his name was Apple. Apple picked Cabbage up and carried her out of the tower. He set her upon his mighty horse and took her to the Christmas Ball. In the end, the king was happy that Cabbage had found such a fine man, and they lived happily ever after."

"That was boring." I smacked Vaults on the arm. That is the greatest story ever!

"You're mean!" I crossed my arms and 'hmphed'.

"I'm sorry, I was kidding." he said gently, "I love you."

"OK!" I giggled and was about to kiss him, but then I remebered he was sick so I ducked.

"Hey!" I laughed.

"I don't want to get a one day cold again!"he sighed, "Don't be sad Princess!"

"Don't call me that…" Vaults said grumpily.

"Ok…hun!" I laughed again and got up, "I'm going to get you some real food."

"Thank you darling." Vaults lied back down and covered himself up.

"You called me 'darling'! YAY!" I smiled really big. I walked over to my kitchen and threw some bread in the toaster. After waiting a few minutes for it to pop out, I put some jam on it and walked over to Vaults, "Here you go!"

"Whatever. ACHOO!" Vaults blew his noses and then took the toast from me.

"Enjoy!" I looked at him for a second, something was different. I couldn't put my finger one what it was.

"You're thinking out loud, and I'm not wearing my hat."Oh…woops.

"Oh yeah! You look cute without it!" Vaults blushed, "No need to blush Pretty Boy."

"Whatever." he bite into his toast, "Hey you're food is edible this time."

"HEY!" he laughed and I grabbed the other piece of toast, "Now you don't get to eat all of it!"

"Oh-ACHOOO!" I jumped back at the loud sneeze.

"Geez, boy you can sneeze!" Vaults glared at me as I let out a laugh

"Don't get grumpy!" I told him, waving my finger in front of his face, "I'll leave the house so you can get some sleep, OK?"

"Thank you." he said, shoving the toast in his mouth. After couging a few times and blowing his nose he went back to sleep.

"Bye!" I shouted before running out. Today is Winter 18…that means one more week until Christmas! I really should start decorating the house soon. Get a tree, put out the lights, decorate the tree….all that good stuff! I walked into my pet's house and feed and petted everyone. While humming a cheerful tune I walked into my barn only to find Danny.

"Hey Chelsea! I decided to help you out today! Maybe we can hang out to?" I lauged and nodded. Danny gave me a big smile and asked where to get the food from. I spent much of my morning showing Danny how to take care of my farm, but we both enjoyed it.

"Now that we've done your stuff, wanna see if who can catch more fish?" Danny asked.

"Oh yeah, let me grab my rod." I snuck into my house, careful not to disturb Vaults. I got it and tip toed out the house, "Lets go!"

"Alright, I bet I'm going to win though!" he teased.

"Well you have an unfair advantage!" I shouted.

"I'll do it with one arm tied behind back, and stilll win! I got a pretty big fish that way once…" Danny bragged.

"OK, you use one arm and we'll see how amazing you are!" We both laughed and walked towards the beach.

"What are you doing for Christmas Danny?" I asked.

"Oh…I'm not sure actually." WHAT? I thought he would be spending it with Natalie and her folks, but I guess I was wrong.

"Why don't you come to my place for Christmas?" Danny smiled.

"That sounds wonderful, Chelsea! Why don't we have one big Christmas party?" he suggested wisely.

"That's a great idea!" I told him, "We could invite Natalie, Lilli, Julia, Sabrina, and E-E-Eric!"

"Who is E-E-Eric?" Danny said in a mocking tone.

"You know who I mean!" He laughed and nodded.

"Oh I packed us some lunch if you get hungry while we're done here!" Danny told me.

"Aw, thanks. You really took you're time to plan this out didn't you?" I asked.

"Kind of, we haven't hung out in awhile so I wanted everything to be perfect!" After Danny said this, I gave him a big smile. We raced each other to a beach, and I won that at least. I took a deep breath and walked over to the dock, pulling out my fishing rod. I cast it into the water a little clumsily if that's possible. I sat there for awhile, my full concentration on the water. I soon felt a bite and began to pull, but the darn fish was too strong (I guess…). Danny noticed this and ran over to help me. We both pulled as hard as we could, and after awhile we got it out. I was so anxious when I saw it coming out of the water, I was dying to know what it was. My face fell when a bicycle came out though, "That's definitely going to be the catch of the day!"

"Shut up Danny!" We draggged the bike up to the dock and Danny carried it over to his house, "What are you doing?"

"This is a priceless memory! I'm gonna put it near some of my big fish!" I smiled, Danny really is a sweet boy.

"Ok, while you're doing that I'm gonna catch fifty fish!" I shouted. I sat back down and threw it out again. I awaited patiently for a bite, but I had no luck. Danny had come out and took a seat next to me by the time I caught one piece of trash, "Hey Danny?"

"Yes?" he answered.

"Why is there trash in the ocean?" Seriously? How do I always end up catching trash? It doesn't seem right to me!

"I'm not sure actually." Danny though about it for a minute, "Maybe there are garbage trucks falling into the ocean every night!"

"Don't be an idiot!" I was about to say something, but I was interupted by my growling stomach.

"No need to worry like I said I brought lunch!" Danny showed off his big white smile and handed me a small box.

"Good, cause boy am I hungry!" I took the small box and opened it up, "Holy geeze, you cook some good looking sushi Danny!"

"Why tahkn you Madamoiselle!" he said, bowing while sitting.

"That's one messed up bow." we both laughed and dug into the perfectly cooked sushi. I ate mine up pretty fast, and Danny and I began to talk about things that had happened recently.

Many hours later…

"Well, reel it in contest is over!" Danny said as the sun began to set, "Count you're fish!"

"One…OK I'm done!" I said cheerfully. I must be some garbage magnet cause that is all I had caught today. Which pissed me off, but atleast the ocean was clean!

"Wait I'm still counting." I pinched him.

"As long as you have more than one, you win!" Danny stared at me for a second and then laughed.

"I told you I could catch more with one arm tied behind my back, but I have to give you credit for the bike." I started to laugh to, which turned into somewhat of a snort. I said goodbye to Danny, picked up my fish, and walked home. Even if Vaults was still sick, today was a pretty awesome day!
