The blonde nodded and smiled. "Fine, then I'll get the fireworks this year. It'll be a blast," he answered. At Arabella's answer he grinned. "Good, then once we ask Celia, Katie and I will go get one," Ventus said with a smile. Turning around he went for the laundry room another place where Celia was often found. If he got a job he would also try and save up to get them each a little present. As he walked by Katie he lightly brushed her hand with his. Poking his head in the laundry room he found Celia. "Hey, so Katie and I are going into town. I was wondering if we could get a tree... for Christmas," he asked softly.

Lea followed Ace down the street. Quietly he stood behind him as he bought the tickets. As Ace handed him the ticket his eyes seemed to light up. "Can I get a mountain dew, please?" he asked quietly. Running a hand threw his red hair he smiled. Then at his comment he grimaced. "Lucky you," he mumbled.

Katie frowned when OnYeen walked out. She opened the door. "Be back in a sec Ven." She said, running after her and finally once she caught up she handed her a twenty dollar bill. "I was thinking.. I want everyone to be apart of the christmas decorating. Would you mind going into the shops and looking for ortaments?" She asked with a small smile. Katie sucked at picking decorations, and figured OnYeen must be bored.

Ace nodded.
"Yeah... lucky me." He said, handing the mountain dew to him and then getting a coke for himself. "Want popcorn?"

OnYeen was a little hurt and offended. She was also flattered that Katie picked her but this also could mean that they didn't feel like getting the decorations themselves and laid it upon OnYeen since she was really a decoration herself. But then she relised she didn't know why they needed decorations and asked a little clueless,"What's the occasion?"

"Oh, christmas. We know its a bit early to put up a tree in all but Ace said their on sale this week. Ven and I are going to get a tree today so I thought maybe you'd like to buy decorations for it at one of the holiday shops? Of course we would all decorate it together... but I thought it would help you feel more at home. When I was new I felt so bored..." She smirked.

OnYeen frowned and looked at the twenty dollar bill. She nodded,"Alright I'll get them but I don't know what to get...I was locked away so long I've forgotten so much." She gave Katie the twenty back,"I have my own money I can pay for them myself don't worry." She asked,"Anything else?"

"Oh okay.. well i'll pay you back later if it cost a lot. Well, if you see any really pretty decorations then thats what really looks good. And I figure everyone can make their own at the house.." She grinned. "Do you like hot cocoa? I wanna try to get everyone like a family for christmas so things aren't as boring.."

OnYeen shrugged,"I've forgotten so much from being locked up...all alone...so cold..." She looked down but then bowed and turned to leave,"It may take me awhile since I'm going to buy things for myself." She turned and walked rather slowly. She wasn't as determined as she was before. Part of her wanted to ditch buying items for these strangers she lived with but another part of her wanted to take someone shopping with her to buy these 'decorations' and have a friend. But she promised herself she wouldn't be a bother and only do what is told.

"I'm sure Arabella and Celia would go with you if you wanted them too. And Ven and I could meet up with you.." She said, trying to make things better.

OnYeen shook her head,"Don't worry...that's not needed I'm fine. I do not wish to be a bother.", she continued walking. She didn't like crowds, which is part of the reason she declined Katie's offer, but she also didn't like being alone. At least she had her rabbit with her.

"Or just Celia could go. I bet shes bored.."

OnYeen turned once again, but slowly, and just shook her head. She continued on with her trip. She was gonna stick to her vow.

[I apologize for my absence. personal issues and such.]

Cela was suprised to see Ven, she dropped the shirt she had been folding and just looked at him. "That sounds like a great idea, which reminds me. . .what do you think Lea would want for christmas?" Celia loved christmas, after all it was the happiest time of the year. "I think there's still some Christmas lights in the back of the closet upstairs I'll go looking for them later." Celia smiled and then picked up the shirt and refolded it.

{sorry I didn't post yesterday. my cpu crashed, but now he's working fine.}

When Celia dropped the shirt he chuckled at smiled. "Cool, Katie and I will go get one then... Hmm. I would get him a DS game. He's addicted to that thing," he laughed, "And if they're used the games are pretty inexpensive." The blonde ran a hand threw his hair and grinned. "Great! And we asked OnYeen if she would please get some ornaments,"Ventus answered. "Well I'm going to go, so we can be back by dinner time... I'll see ya later Celia, don't work too hard," he answered. Walking back out to the living room he saw Katie. "Ready to go?" he asked with a smile.

Katie nodded with a small blush, putting out a hand for him. "We'll be back later Arabella.." She said, giving a small wave to her. "Bye Celia!"

"Kay," Arabella said watching everyone leave. She wished she could go out too. She sighed. Being the youngest wasn't very fun. Although she probably would just get in the way. She stared at her bear and still couldn't decide on a name.

The blonde smiled at Arabella and took Katie's hand. He waved at her feeling bad. The little one was always left and he felt bad, but this was technically a date, so he couldn't exactly invite her. Leading Katie out the door he shut it behind them. "Off to town," he said quietly with a chuckle. Ventus then had the idea that when they returned home they could all decorate the tree. Then maybe he would play a game with Arabella. He inhaled as he led her down the sidewalk smelling the season in the air. Christmas was detectable everywhere he went it seemed.


Lea shook his head at the offer of popcorn and took the soda. "No thanks, I'm just thristy," he answered with a smile. At the comment of being lucky the red haired boy tilted his head. "You don't seem to thrilled about her liking you," Lea commented quietly.

Katie waved to Arabella. "When Ven and I get back we'll play any game you want with you." She said with a soft smile, then followed him out. Christmas was everywhere. There were thousands of decorations in town with lights and trees and singing christmas carolers. "Despite it being freezing... I love the homey feeling towns have during christmas. It's like everyones brought together for the season." She smiled.

"Well... She's pretty, but I don't really know her since she spend ALL of her time being the boss of the house." He said, leading Lea to the theater after getting their stuff."Where do you wanna sit?" He asked with a small smirk.

The blonde looked to her with a surprised look. It was as though she had just read his mind. He nodded and smiled at her reassuringly. His green eyes peered around slightly lit up as he saw the sights of Christmas. Being a Christmas fiend he hummed along with the carolers and smiled at passerby's.Ventus leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I love Christmas. I feel like we're in a little Christmas Town. I just feel as though everyone is just so much cheerier," he grinned. As they came upon the card store he tugged her hand slightly. "Here, the card store," he said softly.

The red head nodded and followed him into the theater. Looking up at Ace he pointed than ran for two open seats in the middle. "Right Here!" he called waving. Lea smiled at him not wanting to talk about girls. And it was true, Celia was always too busy. He thought maybe she should take a break sometime.

Katie blushed when he kissed her cheek and nodded when he tugged her hand. "Oooh, let's go in." She smiled. "And I get that way too. When I was younger, my first foster parents used to buy me little houses and people to put under the tree to make a christmas town... " She said softly. "So seeing this really brightens my day." She said, her eyes lighting up at the random christmas lights threw out town.

Ace followed him. "Maybe we can do this more often now that Katie has Ven occupied. Like whenever they have a date, we can always hang." He said, sitting down and taking a sip of his coke. He looked at the text message from Katie saying that Ven and her were getting a tree for the whole family to decorate later. "Cool, since Ven and Katie are in town their getting a tree for everyone to decorate."

Ventus nodded and smiled. "I wish there was a train here... back at my first foster home they had a thing called the Christmas Train. It was a giant train that came threw town and everyone thought it went to the North pole. My foster mom even bought me a toy set. I put that under the tree each year," he said with a small laugh. Walking to the front door he gently pushed the white doors open to hear the ring of a bell. "I'm going to apply now if that's okay with you," he said with a smile. Looking around he smiled. Wrapping paper, bows, ribbons, cards, and decorations lined the walls. It would be seasonal and that's what he enjoyed, a good change of pace in the work place.

The red head looked at him and nodded. "That sounds great to me. It'll be funner then sitting by myself. Though I usually have my ds to occupy me if you're ever busy, so no worries," Lea answered with a smile. He sipped at his mountain dew and smiled at the screen. At the statement of getting a tree his green eyes lit up. "That's soo cool. I can't wait! I love decorating trees!" he beamed.

After buying the ornaments and buying the items she wanted for her own self she walked back home, set her shopping bags on the ground gently, and unlocked the door with a key she 'borrowed'. After picking up the stuff she took them into the living room then took her stuff back to the room she shared with Celia and out it under her bed. She went back downstairs and looked at the stuf she bought and was careful to make sure that the ornaments and decorations did not break; if they were breakable. At first she was satisfied with her decorations, green, gold, silver, crimson, even sapphire and purple decorations. As something special she got a angel wearing a crystal-like dress holding a very small version of the North Star for the top of the tree.

((O.o I typed a lot for once xD))

Katie nodded and followed him in. "That's okay."She said softly, looking around at all the decorations. She had smiled a little at his story of the toy train. " Sound's nice.." She said, thinking of Ven when he was younger putting a small train under a tree. She brushed her bangs out of her face and looked to the floor, thinking of her childhood.

"Yeah, it does sound cool. I've always loved christmas." He said, thinking of how their last christmas with their real parent's had been hell. Father had hit everyone that day and mother had to go to the hospital. The stupid asshole was the reason she was dead. Though there wasn't much the cops could do.

The blonde nodded and led them to a counter. "Hi, I was wondering if I could apply to work here?"Ven asked quietly. The woman nodded and slipped him an application. Quickly filling out the forms he smiled and handed them back to her. "Thanks," he said to the woman with a smile and a nod. Turning back to Katie he hugged her. "That was easier than I thought, now wanna go get the tree?" he asked with a wide grin.

Lea nodded and smiled at him. As the lights in the theater went down the boy focused his eyes on the screen. Grinning he watched as the previews began rolling. It had been sometime since he had seen a movie in theaters.

She nodded, hugging him back and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Yeah, let's go." She smiled. She waved goodbye to the woman behind the counter and led Ven outside. Once outside she noticed a sign saying 'TREE'S FOR SALE, THIS WAY' And it had an arrow pointing to the left. "I guess we go that way."

((Movie starts? xD))

At the sight of the sign Ventus laughed and nodded. "Sounds perfect to me," he grinned. They followed the sign to an area where there was a bit of frost on the ground and a small forest. "Lead the way," he gestured to Katie with a bow.

{I figured... not much else to do with those two XD so maybe next post the movie is magically over?}
