a place probably with a tree nearby

"Hahaha! Me too." Boris's eyes widened. That laugh sounded dumb. "But, then the inside is all gooey and warm, right? I could show you how to get them just right if you want."

"Alright!" Oh my god, shut UP! "It's a bit early, though; it's only, like... four?" Olivia looked over at a window, hoping it would be some indication of the time. "Five?"

"It's four thirteen." Boris said checking his clock. "If you want you can stay here and I'll go buy marshmallows..."

"Sure! You do that!"

Boris frowned. "You're really enthusiastic all of a sudden."

"What?" See? Told you! Idiot! "Oh, uhm, I don't know."

"No, it's fine! Really, it is." Boris realized he shouldn't have said that. Kind of demanding.

"I guess I'm just... more awake? Holidays, you know."

Boris nodded. "Holidays are nice." he said staring straight ahead at the fire.

"So... are you leaving, then?"

Boris shook his head. "I don't want to move..."

Olivia laughed. "I'm the lazy one around here, thanks."

Boris began laughing too. "Guess it's rubbing off on me."

"I have letters to write," she said curtly, excusing herself from the room and heading upstairs.

Boris sighed. He then stoodup slipped his boots on, grabbed his coat and left the house. Time for some errands. And... some thinking.

Liv,

Happy Christmas too you as well! And New Years... and any of the obscure holidays. The flower is now hanging on my fridge, and your gift is a surprise, and is in the little package that comes with this. Unlike some people, I didn't spoil my gift! ☺

Don't you dare die on me! I would probably kill you if you... oh. Ignore that last bit right before. Okay? I think I may have a clue what may be happening to you, but, I need to see you to tell you! (Yes. I'm hinting that I will show up some point soon!) But minimandas are far from existence, so I guess I'd give them to Pinkie as a remembrance of the one who SO loved her. ♥

I've been fine, and yes, working on another novel! This time it's an actual story. I expect you to read it. Hah! Also, yes, still too soon. Write back quickly!

A small owl flew in at letter time. It had a letter attached to it, addressed to Liv. The letter was bright red, obviously a Howler.

So, of course, to avoid the impending rant, Olivia opened this one next.

After she had opened it, it started screaming.
"OLIVIA!" It shouted, in Serenity's voice, of course. "You IDIOT! I was at the mother******* door and you didn't ****** open it you IDIOT!" She paused for breath. "I'M GETTING MARRIED! ELROY-- I'M-- ENGAGED-- I'M GETTING MARRIED TO ELRROOOOOOOOOOOOY! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE WHENEVER YOU CAN BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE MAID OF HONOR WE HAVE TO DISCUSS THE PLANS YOU ******* IDIOT! I LOVE YOU! I LOOOOOOOOVE YOU~!"

She stood there a moment, letting this sink in. Wow, Serenity had a foul mouth. Then... Oh God, they were going to be RELATED! But then, they HAD turned her down that one time... Oh, heck. The twenty-so years of being may-as-well-sisters overshadowed that. Olivia just HAD to go over there. How long would Bore be out? Twenty minutes? Good enough.

So Olivia apparated back here. Yay. Ended up at the top of the stairs. Slightly off target. Nonetheless.

She had landed right where Boris was going to walk but jumped back in fright. "Holy shit!" he yelled.

Olivia screamed. Odd, usually she would have just given him that apathetic look and said some mundane greeting. But, nope, she was actually fazed.

Boris stumbled into the wall, then shook his head. "Jesus, Olivia! Are you trying to kill me!?"

"No! I mean-- no, I messed up while apparating, that's all!" Somewhat like a deer caught in some headlights.
