A Christmas Paw: A Short Story
The evening sky glister down to the reflection of the streets covered in white snow, little crystals shining brightly as ever. I reached Chiyoda where Itachi told me to meet up. As I was waiting in front of the Tokyo station, I watched strangers with their families, friends or beloved ones laughing and chatting. Additionally, I admired that the city transform into a sparkling winter wonderland as millions of colorful lights are displayed on trees, on and around buildings. It was truly a remarkable and unbelievable sight.

I hummed to a variety of Christmas songs to keep me occupied and of course, bring my Christmas spirit. A small smile appeared on my face as I couldn’t stop to think that I will be spending time with Itachi, best of all

How long did you wait?” Itachi asks, huffing and puffing.

I stared lovingly into his onyx eyes. His nose was red like the unique reindeer, rudolph. “I didn’t wait for too long. Actually, I got here.” I lied, shooting him a smile to avoid being caught. I did wait for long, almost too long that I’m freezing half to death.

Before we even started to walk, he fixed my knitted hat and crochet infinity ombre blue scarf. I was going to ask him what he was doing, until he said, “Are you warm enough? If not, tell me.” he smiled.

Once again, I stared deep in his onyx eyes. I was lost for words. I could feel my face boiling. This feels like a winter love story, where Itachi and me are the main characters falling in love. And this is the part where in the movie, the guy leans in to kiss and say “I love you.” No! Not right now! Gah! I need to stop thinking this thing and get on with this somewhat date.

“Are you ready to go, [Y/N]?”

I shook my head, still trying to clear my mind off.

He began leading the way. During our mini walk, we were quiet. Not that we have nothing to talk about, but I was being very fascinated by the lights, food, sculptures and mini shops that surrounded us. I felt like a five year child that wanted

As I step out, I checked around. It was amazing! I saw the whole view of Chiyoda and possible, my home! All the pretty colored lights were really beautiful. My eyes sparkle seeing this view. Another flash of light went behind me. I turn around quickly enough to see Itachi with his phone out.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I question.

“Trying to keep memories.” He simply stated. I was going to say “why were you taking pictures of me then?” until a young lady in uniform came over and asked us if we were ready to attend the Starry Night Illuminations event. Not too sure what she was saying, but Itachi answered, “Yes.”

Itachi followed the young lady as I did also. She brought us to a medium sized room, where it was perfect to see the dark night sky. The young lady gave us a little tour, explaining that these computers in front of us generate the starry sky. It reflects over the actual city skyline. She also states that if we had a smartphone, we could create our own night view by using their free app. Of course, I didn’t have one. I wasn’t sure if Itachi had one either. Though the lady said that we could use their computer if we didn’t have one, but our precious work won’t be saved and it will be

    For the live theatre show, I decided to watch “A Christmas Story, The Musical” directed by Valerie Easton at Vancouver Arts Club Stanley Industrial Aalliance Stage. The show focuses on a child named Ralphie, who wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas.Valerie’s production captured the happiness and cheerful atmosphere during Christmas and also focus on emphasizing Ralphie’s desire of a BB Gun as his Christmas present. During the show, I was impressed by many design and technical production elements. For example, the quick changes, the adequate use of theatre stage and also the use of sets to change from fantasy and reality. However, the most striking elements to me are the set piece of Ralphie’s house and the sufficient use of rigging system.…

    “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way”, this melody always brings a warm comfort in my heart. They’re countless holiday songs that stay timeless and we nerve tire of hearing them year after year. I also find a sense of tranquility, as I hear the choir sing the angelic, Silent Night.

    For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…

    “No clue” I nearly shouted back. She really didn’t care where he was considering it was the sophomore Fire on Ice dance, so he couldn’t get into too much trouble and she was having fun. As we danced and sang along, multiple friends drifted between us and their groups. Eventually our friend Lilly found us. Lilly motioned us closer so we could hear, I had to bend down a bit so I was on the same level as the conversation.“You guys look great!” she shrieked as she pulled us into a brief hug. We responded with our thanks and dittos.…

    Kakashi opened the door to your dull room, as usual, holding onto the door frame with what seemed to be an ever present smirk on his face. You looked over to him, hiding the growing blush on your face, not quite knowing what to expect from him; he was as unpredictable as the wind when he was like this. His other hand was behind his back and he looked like he was holding something, but you didn’t know what. His eyes stared at you hungrily, searching over every curve of your body and taking in how perfect he thought you were. The silence was broken by your phone vibrating. You pick it up and smile at the text you just got, but in the middle of typing a reply, Kakashi walks up to you and takes it right out of your hands. “What was that for?” You…
