[It was December 22nd, and to Gold, that meant one thing--

...Okay, two things. The first was that Christmas was drawing near. And Christmas meant presents, and presents are always good. Preeeseeeeents.

But the second was potentially more important to Gold. December 24th was Silver's birthday. There was no way he could let Silver's birthday go uncelebrated; no matter how much the latter might protest. Time to plot. To the journal!]

[Filtered away from Silver | 100% unhackable | It's probably only unhackable due to stupid luck.]

So, you guys know my buddy Silver, right? Long red hair, pale eyes, with a a look on his face that he couldn't give a Rattata's ass about anything? Yeah, that guy.

I'm throwin' him a birthday party on the 24th. Since that's, y'know, his birthday! I don't think he's ever actually had a birthday party in his life. Anyway, he doesn't really have a lot of friends here yet. It's kinda his nature to try and seclude himself from people. But all he needs is a push! So it'd really mean a hell of a lot to him--and to me--if people came to celebrate his birthday.

...Not that he'll admit it, of course. He'll just tsun out over it. That's also his nature.

[/Filter]

So, you guys think anything big'll happen still this month? The Mallies seem pretty keen on hitting the big Earth holidays, after all! I mean, we got the lights strung up all over the place, but there's way more to Christmas than some pretty lights and a piece of mistletoe here and there! Don'tcha think so?

It's just some weird gift giving holiday with a bunch of lights, isn't it?

Not really.

[...Well, that's what he's here to learn, Gold. He'll take a bite of his ice cream while waiting for Gold to continue.]

Well, you see! [Gold stands up now, holding that bowl in one hand, and the spoon in the other.]

You can look at it that, but that's just missin' the true spirit of Christmas!

[...?] True spirit of Christmas?

[He starts pacing around the room now, waving that spoon in the air as he makes motions with his hands.]

Yeah, it's really a holiday about treasuring the bonds you have with your friends and family, demonstrating those bonds to them through acts of kindness and gratitude towards them!

...

...It's also about sweet presents, though.

And scamming people. [Just. Felt like chiming that in.]

Not even close.

It's true.

And how would you know? You don't even know what Christmas is.

[...Pleading the fifth on this one.]

Trust me, dude. I know what I'm talkin' about when it comes to Christmas!

...If you say so.

You don't believe me, do you?

It's not that. I just still don't get the big deal. [Why are holidays important, why do you celebrate things]

Edited 2012-01-09 02:02 (UTC)

It's a big deal because people need special times like this to really show they care about one another. That's why stuff like Christmas and birthdays are important.

You shouldn't need a holiday to show someone you care.

You shouldn't, no. But the more you do something, the less special it gets. That's why those times are important to some people.

That's stupid. [Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Silver?]

Tell me about it.

...What day is Christmas, anyway? [Someone... Doesn't pay very good attention to these things...]

December 25th, so a couple days from now.

...December 25th? [Isn't there something special around the 25th? Not on the 25th, but...

...Whatever. He should... Get people gifts or something, shouldn't he? Even if they're free gifts. Do they even count as gifts?]

Yep, December 25th! [Gold is not going to say anything about that being the day after Silver's birthday, because if Silver's forgotten, that suits him just fine, all the easier to surprise him with!]

...Is something else happening around the 25th? [Something... important?...]
