[DIA] (BFDI x II) A Black Hole living on Earth

Gift Preparation

Black Hole's P.O.V: 

After doing some research on the holiday known as Christmas I've learned that while the person called Santa Clause gives presents to people who've been nice, it's also an important tradition to give a present to the people you hold close to you. So this weekend I headed off to Yellow Face's Warehouse to find some gift ideas for my friends at Death P.A.C.T. Although it has proven to be as the phrase goes "easier said than done",  while scrolling through an isle of toys I stumble across Leafy.

Leafy: Oh, Hey there Black Hole!

Black Hole: Hi Leafy, what are you doing here?

Leafy: I'm just looking for gift ideas for Firey and our kid Firey Jr.

Well that last bit wasn't what I expected to hear. I get confused by this and decide to ask her about Firey Jr.

Black Hole: Wait you and Firey have a kid?

Leafy: Yeah... It's been rather awkward for us too the first time. I still don't know how to explain what happened but mishap or not we still love him. 

Black Hole: Mishap???

Leafy: You have biology class right?

I nod to her question confirming her correctly.

Leafy: Then I suggest you ask the teacher how Pure Fire objects like Firey are born, then you can get an idea of what happened. But enough about my family and how it probably broke a few laws of nature, what are you here for?

Black Hole: I'm here for the same reason as you, I'm looking for presents for my pals and lover at Death P.A.C.T. do you have any ideas what some of them like?

Leafy: Presents for clubmates, why didn't I think of that. Oh! Well, I know for a fact that Remote loves batteries and forks for whatever reason, Maaaybe don't get Pillow and Bottle something that says "keep out reach of children"... Pie you could probably get her anything and she'll be okay with it. That's about all the tips I could give to you, but you can ask other people who know your fellow death preventers! :)

Black Hole: Okay, um how about Tree? I'm having the hardest time finding a christmas present for him out of the others, I want it to be something special.

Leafy: I can relate to that, it's always difficult to get a perfect gift for a lover. Here's a tip from someone with experience, it doesn't have to be something extravagant or cost a lot of money...

Leafy gently places her hand on my chest.

Leafy: what makes it a great gift is that it came from here.

Black Hole: My... chest..?

Leafy: No silly, your heart. Well I gotta get back to my search for not just presents for my boyfriend & kid, but the members of the three clubs I'm part of! Bye!!

Three clubs? That's an awful lot of people, I shake off the thought and go back to Leafy's advice...

Black Hole: My heart...? I... don't really have that sort of thing, maybe she meant that in a metaphorical term. Hmmmm... 

I continue my christmas shopping with the tips from Leafy in mind, I find some interesting things I think my friends would like along my browsings. I found one of those video game thingies on sale, maybe that'll be something Lightning or Marker would like, and for Bottle I decided to get her a plushie of a cute little critter.

(Authors note: It's a dolphin but BH has never seen one of those so he doesn't know what it exactly is. XD)

I also got Pillow something a staff member of the shop called poppers, this should be something safe to give her, As for Pen I overheard somewhere in Chemistry class that he really doesn't like when he makes a writing error with his ink so when I asked a staff member about something that can erase ink they showed me a substance called 'white out' and said it can clean out ink that was when I figured it'd be perfect for him. That was about all I could find after awhile so I decided to call it a day for now and ask some other people for help finding a present for the others. I fly around the city for a bit and find Eggy talking with Foldy and Bell and hover down to them.

Foldy: Yeah, I suppose that can be considered as flying...

Bell: Oh Hi there Black Hole. What brings you here? You're not angry about me knocking you into the lava with Spongey are you? 

Black Hole: As irritated as I am with that stunt you pulled on me... I'm not going to let it get the better of me, I just wanted to ask if any of you three have any ideas of what I can give my fellow Death P.A.C.T.ers for Christmas.

Foldy: Oh really? Well I definitely know what you should get Liy... >;)

Eggy & Bell: NO YOU DON'T!

Both Eggy and Bell tower over Foldy before she can give me her idea and the three of them start to argue, I wasn't sure what to do about this...

Foldy: You should totally get Liy a-

Bell: DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG!!

Foldy: Oh c'mon guys! Why won't you let me have this!?

Bell: Do you want a chance of coal in your stocking??? I'm not gonna let you use poor Black Hole's obliviousness for your petty rivalry on Liy!

Foldy: >:C

Black Hole: Uhhh What's this argument about?

Eggy: Just don't get any advice on what to get Liy from Foldy or Stapy for that matter as they both hate Liy's guts. 

Black Hole: Okay why...?

Foldy: *grumbling* That's none of your business...

Black Hole: Hm, well what do you two suggest I get Liy then?

Eggy: She's the one that started death P.A.C.T. right? And she seems serious about safety of others at school so maybe something like an emergency kit?

Black Hole: I don't know, as true as that is it isn't really all there is to her...

Bell: Well considering how unhesitant she was to peak her curiosity of what my string is attached to and even CLIMB it, why not get her something for her adventurous personality!?

Black Hole: Okay I'll keep that in mind,  Foldy since you're good friends with Marker, is this video game a good option of a present?

Foldy: Oh definitely!

Black Hole: Okay glad I made the right choice, now I gotta figure what to get Lightning. Hmmm... maybe this??

Eggy: Are those dinosaur figures? 

Black Hole: So that's what they're called, yeah I sorta got them because I was curious.

Foldy: Hm, I heard from Marker that Lightning's into that sort of thing... so those would be a good present for him.

Black Hole: Ok, any of you have any ideas what to give Fanny? 

Eggy: I'm fairly certain that Fanny would be impossible to buy for.

Black Hole: What makes you say that? 

Eggy: You're in the same club as her right? Then you should know how she hates pretty much everything.

Black Hole: Well don't you like to put people in little boxes? Never mind, I'll figure something out myself...

Bell: Hey Black Hole, unrelated question have you decided on a present for Tree yet?

Black Hole: No... I'm still struggling on that...

Foldy: That's okay, between you and me I'm not sure what to give Stapy myself.. but I'm sure you can figure it out in time.

Black Hole: Thanks girls.

(Author's NOTE: Nothing like a little bit of Christmas shopping for friends. Poor Black Hole though can't seem to find a good gift for his boyfriend, what do YOU guys think he should get for Tree?)
