Slightly morbid. 4/5.
I'm not sure what exactl the point of this is, but here I go...
It's Christmas day, snow is falling, the kids are laughing, mother is of course preparing dinner in her lair, aka the kitchen. I wake up to someone wacking my leg with something rather hard. It doesn't hurt, so it must be a child doing the wacking. I get up to the most devilish grin on a 4 year old you could ever imagine. Cute, but disturbing. It's my brother, Ethan. As soon as he seems me remove the blanket from my body he books it, laughing maniacally on the way.
Sigh. Children.
The only thing motivating me to get out of bed is something I've been waiting for for exactly 33 days for. A game. It makes me smile just thinking about finally playing it.
The thing that Ethan had been wacking me with was my stocking, most likely full of silly things I could do without, such as candy, toiletries and perhaps other small things like pajamas or a tshirt. My parents seem unaware I could use a coupon for a free 6-pack of Lucky.
I ignore the stocking for now and head up to the living room where my family has all gathered around the tree.
"Tyler, nice of you to finally join us." That's my father.
He hands my a few gifts but I only am interested in the smallest. The thin, square case hidden under ridiculous looking wrapping paper. I almost want to go back to my room, open this treasure alone so I can react in ways I would not want others to see. But I stay, in full sight of everyone, hiding my true excitement as to seem "mature". I open it slowly, careful not to scratch the case, forgetting there's another sheet of plastic around the case. I can see the back of the case and pretend not to notice what it is. Finally turning it around, I see it.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.
And here it comes. Oh god, here it comes. Can't control myself... aaaaaaahhhhh:
THANK YOU MOTHER AND FATHER DEAREST YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH *runs over and hugs each of them and smothers them with kisses while jumping up and down like a little girl*
Moral: Golden Sun is the best.
