Serenity stretched her limbs out and yawned as Driver Kim nudged her awake.

"We're here, miss."

Serenity rubbed her eyes and looked out of the window to see they were down the street where she had directed him to protect the location of the apartment. She smiled kindly to Driver Kim.

"Thank you," she said with a nod, golden eyes still showing how sleepy she was.

"You dropped right off to sleep the moment we began moving," Driver Kim smiled "Early to bed with you once you get home."

Serenity yawned again, running a hand through her blue locks.

"Was I truly asleep?" she asked timidly and Driver Kim nodded "Really?"

"Yes, you were snoring away quietly back there for the whole journey."

Serenity blushed and smiled bashfully.

"Well, thank you again."

"Stay safe."

Serenity nodded as she slipped out of the car and shut the door behind her, making sure her long hair didn't get caught on the door. She waved goodbye as the car drove away and made her way back to the apartment block.

She yawned again as she stepped through the doors into the lobby and called for the lift. Her feet were aching from her new shoes that she had bought for the Christmas fundraiser, her legs were still a little shaky from standing around a lot and she just wanted to get her dress off so she can snuggle under the covers of her warm bed. Serenity yawned once more as she stepped into the lift. She hoped she'll be able to get a good night's rest.

Finally arriving inside the comfort and safety of Rika's apartment, Serenity sighed, closing the door behind her and kicking off her shoes. She smiled as she saw it was still snowing outside.

"Merry Christmas," she murmured mostly to herself.

She smiled a little wider and closed her eyes, leaning on the door. She wondered...

"Merry Christmas!"

Serenity's eyes flew open as every part of her body tensed. In front of her was a young man with mint green eyes and bleached hair with red tips.

"You really thought this place would be empty?" he said in a teasing voice and Serenity shrieked, pressing herself up to the door completely.

He chuckled at this.

"Hello," he greeted her with a soft smirk "...Know who I am?"

Serenity was trembling as he chuckled again.

"Merry Christmas!" he repeated "I hope this was the happiest day of your life~!"

He laughed a little louder as Serenity stuttered.

"Who...who...who are you?" she squeaked.

The stranger glanced around, ignoring her question.

"For some reason, they strengthened the security two, three times," he said sounding a little tired "Still, I was able to find a flaw in the system thanks to the information you provided."

Information she provided? No, she hadn't divulged any kind of information to strangers. Who was this man?! Serenity glanced at the clock then back at him, swallowing uneasily. It was half past nine now, so why...?

"Thank you for your cooperation," the stranger smiled as he leaned in closer to her.

He looked her up and down appreciatively, prompting Serenity to hold her jacket closer to her so he wouldn't look down her dress.
