MERRY CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST

Kelsi entered with all her presents stacked up. Her friends ought to be here.

And so, Rachel also entered the next morning, clad in her usual lounging around the school clothing, except this time she was wearing a light blue scarf around her neck as well. She than plopped down next to Kelsi. "Hiya, Happy Christmas!" she said cheerfully.

"Happy Holidays, Rachel! I got your gift, by the way. Thanks!" She waved the scarf up lightly. And then she got a gift of hers that was wrapped in vivid red paper with golden wrapping.
"Here you go!" Kelsi said cheerfully. She was full of Holiday Spirit.

"Open it, they're four-leaf clover earings, and a pair of black flats with little silver designs that would match your school uniform." Kelsi said in the same cheerful voice as before. She didn't realize that she had spoiled the surprise.

Rachel than without saying anything noting about her ruined the surprise, went ahead and ripped off the paper. She than smiled. "Thanks! And err, I think I already gave you your's..." she grinned. "And Robin's,"

Kelsi lowered her voice.
"What did you give to Robin?" she asked nervously.
"And I loved your gift, Ray."

"Oh, she'll discover it later..."

"Oh gosh... I'm not getting involved if she comes at you with a knife from the tables. I swear, I won't help either of you when a fight breaks out. For Pete's sake, it's almost new years!"

"Oh, don't worry. I can her butt any day, really, she's just so full of herself! I honestly think I hate her..."

"She can't be that bad. Heck, it's Christmas. Aren't you the holy one of us? The one who's always waving bibles in our faces and saying how we shouldn't argue, and what-such?" Kelsi grinned widely.

"...Whatever." Rachel poked her usual strip of bacon. "But, I'm also the biggest hypocrite out of all of us, right?" she also smiled.

"That's true. But, you're not a bad hippo." Kelsi calls hypocrites hippos.
"In fact? You're an awesome hippo! You can pelt stuff at my sister ALL you want! And not because she can't take a joke, but because... well, I don't know. But it's fun."

"Hey! I'm not a hippo! Or fat!"

"No, that's true. I just enjoy calling hypocrites hippos. And actually, Robin can take jokes. She can't take jokes from you, though."

"Well, I can't exactly take jokes from her, either. She's really the defintion of a well, you know..."

"Yes, I know. So, what DID you give her?"

Serenity ran into the great hall, grabbed a pumpkin juice, and ran back out, covering it up so she didn't spill.

Kelsi stared at Serenity.
"... Her gift..."

"Oh, I got her a fruit cake."

"Fruitcake? That's it? Let me guess- did you poison it or something?"

Oh, it's just plain old average fruit cake.

"Rachel, tell me. It's not like I'll burst into your dorm yelling, 'DON'T EAT IT, ROBIN!' or something."

"No, I'm serious, it is. It's going to make her be worried sick, and it will drive her perfectly insane, because she'll be dying to know what's in it, and she will never find out. And, it will be just a completely normal fruit cake!" Rachel grinned proudly for herself for her intelligent plan.

"I hope it works... She deserves some stuff like this."
