A/n: I should probably lead with the fact that Charlie Stern is included in this chapter- Ulrich's twin sister. If you're unfamiliar with her character this chapter might not make a whole lot of sense, but it will still be a cute little spoof. Thanks!
#6 Presents
"Is that for me?" Yumi asked, dropping her bag next to the little box on the end of her bed. Ulrich twitched a little from the top of the bed where he was sitting cross-legged.
"Maybe."
"It has a bow," Yumi pointed out, letting herself into the little bathroom in the dorm. She took her clip out in front of the mirror, shaking out her hair.
"It's from my sister," Ulrich clarified.
"Ohhhh kay? Charlie? She got me a present?"
"She got us a present."
"Collectively? Did you open it yet?"
Ulrich didn't answer, poking at the box with his foot. It wasn't very big, the size of a jewelry box. Maybe a little bigger. But there was a big purple bow on the top. "I'm nervous."
"I'm sure it's nothing." Yumi came back out into the main part of the dorm, scooping the offending item from the bed and climbing up to sit next to her boyfriend. "Want me to open it for you?"
"Do you think that's safe?" Ulrich asked, pulling at a face.
Yumi snatched the bow off the top, sticking it to his cheek. "One way to find out." She carefully pulled the top off the box, laying it in her lap as she shuffled two see-through bags out of the bottom half.
Each had a tag, one with Yumi's name and one with Ulrich's. She dropped Ulrich's into his hand, pulling the little satin tie on hers to open it.
"If there's a box inside, I'm going postal," Ulrich threatened. Yumi elbowed him in the ribs.
"One, two, three?" She offered, reaching in to pull out what was inside. Ulrich did the same.
They were two identical purple cut-out dresses. Each finished with lace around the bottom and a glittery ribbon around the waist.
'Will you be my bridesmaid?' Yumi's asked in neat little letters. She grinned, looking up to Ulrich.
"What does yours say?" She practically climbed into his lap to read his.
Ulrich sighed, reading it out loud. "Maid of Honor."
