      "ITS THE FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER! ITS WINTER!"

     "Actually, winter originally starts on the 21st of December." Zhongli stated as he picked up some papers and threw them in a black garbage bag.

     "Are you always annoying"

     "NOELLE"

     "Whatever.." Noelle muttered as she helped Sucrose pick up cotton swabs. "Hey, my birthdays coming up!"

     "Oh, when is it?" Sucrose asked as she carefully organized the swabs of cotton.

     "It's in March" she replied back with a smug look on her face.

"I better not tell her mines earlier than hers.." Zhongli's whispered to you as you grinned.

You all decided to head to the tattoo shop a bit earlier then you were supposed to. After Sucrose and Albedo heard what happened they felt terrible. They decided to call you and tell you about how they wanted to surprise Xiao.

You decided that it would be nice, so you joined them as well as Zhongli who heard from Albedo. You originally told Signora but she was dead asleep so Noelle and Barbara tagged along instead.

It was just you six cleaning up the mess from yesterday. Should've been the whole damn town. You picked up the fallen table and placed it back in its original place. Now that all the pillow stuffing and and trash from last night was picked up, the store looked much better.

     "This is all because Albedo drank too much and had to run his mouth to the whole town- oh, you should come fight in the tattoo shop! I have the keys! Idiot." Sucrose said in irritation, Albedo scoffed.

     "You should've told me to stop then." He said as he crossed his arms.

     "I literally did."

     "It's all right! At least we're almost done." Zhongli said with an optimistic smile.

     "Hey, wouldn't this place look great with some pink walls. Xiao should really add some colour in here!" Barbara said as she stared around. She reached into her backpack and rummaged around through it. You, being next to her curiously spoke up.

     "What are you doing?" You said as you plopped down on a chair, tired from all the standing around.

     "I have some of my figurines from the party last night! I feel really bad for Xiao.. imagine getting hurt and finding out half the town went crazy in your store! He must feel like such a loser!"

     "That's.. one way to put it?" Barbara carefully took her figurines and placed it around the store.

     "I'll go by the store and get some posters too!" The doors bell rang as Xiao walked in, looking very tired but surprised when he saw all of you. You all looked back and smiled at him.

     "Xiao! Albedo has something to say to you!" Sucrose said as she pushed the blonde haired man in front of her.

     "I'm so, so sorry. It was all my fault and I feel terrible.. we all decided to come down here a bit earlier so you didn't need to clean anything up because it's not your fault.. are you mad?" Albedo asked to the clearly unhappy man.

     "I'm not mad, just disappointed." The room went silent as you all stared at him awkwardly. "Still, thank you for taking care of this."

     "You're welcome!.. um, also why are you here so early?" Sucrose pipped up.

     "I was going to clean this place up myself."

     "But Xiao, we said we'd help take care of it.." Zhongli said, looking a bit sad that Xiao didn't trust his word.
