It's red and in the sky on christmas eve, but it's not Santa!

[hometownchargal]

[That's right, what might have been a sighting of good old jolly nick was something much different. Wings could be made out from the silhouette and the flight pattern seems like it could use some polishing. Nonetheless, this large red something is headed straight to Smash! What could it be?! Of course the crashing noise that eventually followed the 'landing' might give it away to some...

With some last minute flying and gathering of her gifts, Riwane sets off to give her acquired goodies to special folk and Smashies all around.]

Char: Gets some nifty sporting shades cause she already thinks he looks badass so why not add to it?

Sasha: Gets a gift card for Riwane's favorite spicy food restaurant over in FDC.

Warren: Boss man gets assorted sweets from Kanto, she figured maybe he'd like to expand his business!

Chili: Finds a small statuette of an Infernape that is holding an actual Fire Stone with a note "Keep the fire going!"

Teachers: All her teachers get little goody bags from her farm, fruits and candies made by her previous owner's gran.

Her Roomie: Gets a small indoor garden with assorted flowers from Kanto and a few sweets.

Anyone who has been close to her: Gets a little souvenir from Mt. Silver  in the form of a small figurine of the Elite Four! (Sorry she didn't get to beat the 4 but some other time!)

Jon: Gets a set of Pokemon books, a new training uniform, a necklace with a tag for each badge he's gotten done in an intricate style of metal work, and a new starter smartphone with super easy to follow instructions that even kids can use it! (It's also very durable and can be attached to anything for those long full moons away...)

So yes! Riwane's officially back and made her way into her room, hopefully not disturbing the roomie.

[ Hello! And guess who was there to see Riwane's totally awesome landing onto the school grounds? THIS little Mareep. She's never seen a Charizard before, but when she sees Riwane--- wooow. So big, and big wings too!

Don't mind the two foot tall Mareep hanging around near you, not knowing if she should get closer or not. She's easy enough to spot, not totally blending in with the snow with her cream wool. ]

[hometownchargal]

[Whoops, she saw that? Maybe she didn't see it! Maybe there was... too much happening to her to have noticed the total fail! Maybe she was hoping for too much here...

The Charizard looked around awkwardly before giving a small wave in the Mareep's direction.]

[fluffyhearted]

[ That seemed to be a friendly enough response to make the Mareep come over, and so she did! Hopping through the snow to come up. ]

Hiiii! Are you okaaay? You flew iiinnn from really hiiigh!

[hometownchargal]

[The Charizards cheeks flushed and she smiled a bit embarrassed before laughing.]

Ah, yeah, Ah'm alrite. If anythin' only thing broke is my pride haha. Nothin' that won't be fixed in a yiffy though.

Guess proper introductions are in order though! Name's Riwane, jus' got back from a trip through Kanto.

[fluffyhearted]

Kaaanto? I know Kanto! Thaaat's near Johtoo, riiiight? I saw it, on a maaap. [ Though she doesn't really know much other than that. ]

But I'm Maiiisy! I'm staaying here with my frieeeends. Did you have fuuun in Kaaantoo?

[hometownchargal]

Nice ta meet ya Maisy! That's a real cute name!

And yup! Near Johto, Ah went ta challenge a few gyms with mah partner and ta visit my old trainer's folks back at tha farm.

Did ya arrive ta tha Academy recently? Can't recall seein' ya 'fore, but then again Ah've been travelin' fer a while.

[fluffyhearted]

I've been heeere siiinceee... [ She pauses, trying to think.... ] ... I dooon't know, but my frieeeend is a trainer too! He let me come wiith him when he goes traveling!

Who's youur partneeer? Are they here toooo?

[hometownchargal]

[Riwane smiles and nods.]

Aw, that's nice 'a him. Ah bet he's a great trainer an' friend!

Mah partner's this tall, gruff feller by tha name of Jon Talbain.

[fluffyhearted]

Jooon? [ Oh, oh, was it? ] Does he haave long haaair? That's white all oveeer? And he likes to stay ouuut late?

[hometownchargal]

Yup! That's him! Ya know him?

[fluffyhearted]

Yeah, yeah! He's Gooold's friend! My friend tooooo! He's realllllly nice. Do you know Gooold? He wears a thing called a "hat" on his head and he's waaaayyy smaller than Jooon.

[hometownchargal]

He's nice huh? [Riwane grinned and shook her head knowing that Jon didn't like being considered 'nice' even though he was a big softy underneath all that bravado.]

Oh! Okay so you're Gold's then? He's Jon's roommate yeah.

[fluffyhearted]

[ Here Maisy is, ruining Jon's street cred. If only she knew! She finds the shake of Riwane's head curious, but Maisy doesn't question it. ]

Yeah! He's heeere if you want to see hiiim. Did it take yooou looong to fly heeere? I've got lots of beerrries I can share!

[hometownchargal]

Took me a bit yeah, it was a real long flight but Ah reckon that's cause Ah jus' started learnin' how ta.

Ah'd love ta meet him yeah! Jus', maybe aftah Ah settle down an' such.

[fluffyhearted]

Reeeallly? What's it like to flllly? How doooes it feeeel?

[ Maisy doesn't mean to ask so many questions, but she can't help it! ]

Do you liiive here too? If you waaant, I can come oveer with some berries laaater. And then you can come and visit Gooold and my other frieeends!

[hometownchargal]

Frankly? It feel so amazing! [Riwane responded excitedly.]

It's much more excitin' than Ah ever thought it'd be, Ah jus' wish Ah was bettah at it. Guess Ah'll learn with time.

[She smiled and nodded, pointing in the direction of the girls dorms.]

Yup, Ah live jus' over there in BW-04 an' if mah livin' arrangements haven't changed Ah'm roomin' with Celebi so you can jus' mosie on up there whenever ya feel like. Ah don' mind tha company, or berries.

[fluffyhearted]

You're waaaay better at flying than I aaaam. [ And the Mareep laughs a little, in her Mareep-y way. ] But when you fly again, can I see? It looked fuuuun!

[ When Riwane points, Maisy looks. Oh, she knows that place! ]

Yeah, okaaay! I've got lots, 'cause it's Craaaasmas soon. [ She puts emphasis on the word, it being a new one for her. ] Everyone is reeallly nice and giving stuff. Did you come back for Craaaasmas?

[hometownchargal]

Ya could say that, yeah. [Riwane smiled]

It's a pretty nice holiday Ah'd admit. Full of nice feelings and gestures and such.

[fluffyhearted]

Yeah! I waaanna give everyone things toooo. Do you think it's still niiiice to get a Crasssmas present when it's not Crassshmas?

[hometownchargal]

A'course it is! Ya don't need it ta be a special day ta be givin' out presents! Every now an' then it's rather nice ta give something ta someone special.

Heck, even to someone random if anythin' jus' ta brighten up their day.

[fluffyhearted]

[ What Riwane said made sense, and the little Mareep was nodding through it all. ]

Yeah, yeah, you're riiight, Riwwaaane! I'll doo iiitt, to everyone that's beeeeen nice to meeeee, then I can make theeeem haaapppy.

[hometownchargal]

That's the spirit! See, it's nawt 'bout tha season. It's 'bout the spirit of the holiday and bein' able ta feel that wonderful warmness all year round.

[fluffyhearted]

I never kneeew that's what Craasshmas was for. It sounds even niiicer than what Gold tooold me!

[ hmm. ] But you must feel warm a looot. You've got a fire on your taaail!

[hometownchargal]

Well Ah'm sure humans know more 'bout it an' there might be different interpretations but that's jus' how Ah feel 'bout it after learnin' more 'bout it an' such.

[Riwane sways her tail with a smile, making her tail flame grow stronger for a bit and warming the area.]

Eyup, that Ah do!

[fluffyhearted]

[ It's so pretty to see -- Maisy moves a little towards her tail to take a closer look. She can definitely feel its heat. ]

Whaaat does it feeel liiike?
