[This is it ... the final delivery of the day. The tapping on the door is different this time -- not necessarily louder or faster, but instead of three rhythmic knocks, there are precisely five. There is one fabric-wrapped gift in the distinct shape of a closed umbrella. But that isn't all.
There is one other similarly wrapped present nestled beside it; It is large enough for the tube-shaped gift to lean upon, but no taller than knee-height. There isn't a card, but there is a folded piece of paper taped to the tube-shaped gift, and it's addressed to 'ROXAS'. The note reads:
'Dear Roxas, Hello, and happy Valentine's Day. I'm going to go ahead and apologize for not appearing to you in person, but I've already arranged for everyone's gifts to be delivered magically throughout the course of the day. I'm deeply sorry to ask this of you, but ... the box is for Terra. I don't know where he is. You two are close. I thought that he might be staying with you. If you see him, or if you have any idea where he may be, could you please deliver it to him for me? It's okay if he doesn't receive it in time for the holiday ... if the spell worked correctly, it's probably just an hour or so away from nightfall. As long as it finds its way to him safely ... No rush. If you are unable to do me this favor for any reason, I'll come by and pick it up, no questions asked. Again, I am so sorry! -Aqua
P.S. - I'll spoil the surprise: the umbrella is for you. I hope you like it.' ]
Well, she's mentioned wanting a pet of her own. So I thought maybe I could get her a certificate from the animal shelter so she could go pick one out...
I think it'd be okay, though. Axel's cat lived here and got along with Xact, so I don't think he'd mind. As long as the new cat is good with other ones too.
