Snowflakes

-Kagome-

I love Christmastime. It had some of my best memories. Most of them were with mom, dad, and Ryo-kun. I wanted to create another Christmas memory this year too.

“Mom,” I said in the kitchen. “Can we have a Christmas party this year?” Mom looked up from her cell phone.

“Hm?” she asked.

“Can we have a Christmas party this year?”

“I'm not so sure. Your dad and I have to attend a party at work.”

“It doesn't have to be a big party. It could just be you, dad, Ryo-kun, and me. Just like old times.” I caught her attention as I predicted.

“We could do that,” she said.

“I was thinking something small and simple.”

“Small and simple?”

“Yeah, like a movie, a hotpot, and maybe…” I descended into giggling. Oh my! I have such a dirty mind. I smacked myself in the face. Come on! Get it together! You are trying to sell something big here. Don't goof off!

“Maybe?” mom asked. I smiled as I shook my head.

“It's a surprise!” I said. Classic line there, my friends. Gets her every time.

“What kind of surprise?” mom asked. I smiled like a cat.

“I can't tell you,” I said. “That would ruin the surprise.”

“Ooo!”

I've got her attention. Right away, I started planning. The four of us would do something together and then Ryo-kun and I would have some alone time together. I tilted my head, smiling.

“So what do you say?” I asked. Mom narrowed her eyes at me, frowning.

“Is something wrong?” I asked.

“When would this party be?”

“On Christmas?”

“It would have to be at night. Your dad and I have a Christmas party with our company.”

I pressed my lips together and nodded. “Okay.” This should be okay, right? I shook it off and focused on more positive things. I raced forward and hugged mom wildly.

“Hey!” she shouted. “What is this for?”

“I love you so much!”

Mom patted me on the head. “You…”

In my room, I pulled out my cell phone.

“Ryo-kun!” I said. “I did it! It's on!”

“What are you talking about?” he asked. “What's on?”

“Our Christmas party, silly!”

“Christmas party?”

“I'll explain everything later. Just hurry home!”

“But…”

“Please?”

Ryo-kun sighed over the phone. “Alright.”

“See you then!” I rolled around on my bed, squealing after I hung up. Visions my private Christmas party with Ryo-kun danced in my head like snowflakes.
