Almost, But Not Quite [Damien Haas]

14. Yellow | Red

Hey, hey, hey! How are you guys doing?

First off: thanks for 2.9k+ on A Wrench in the Gears! Personally, I like the plot for this one better than AWITG's plot, because this one has an end goal, while AWITG was kind of an experiment with no main goal. Nonetheless, both fun.

Also, 7 millions subscribers on Smosh Pit, so congrats to Smosh! Yaaaaay!

Let's begin, shall we? Jade's POV and see ya.

Good morning, Miss Bennet! Just a few days before Christmas. Too bad we can't get each other gifts.

I was eating breakfast when I thought of something actually. Since we both live in LA, how about we go to two random locations and drop off our gifts for each other there? Of course, we have to drop our gift at the same time in the location, tell each other where it is afterwards, and get our gifts at the same time. Not that I don't trust you, but you're literally a stranger on the Internet.

Your brain works in the most mysterious yet brilliant ways. I'm actually going shopping for gifts today. Anything you like?

From: SixthBennetSister28
Oh, surprise me, maybe? On the other hand, I don't know much about your interests, so you gotta give me a hint.

From: DuckCoverHold23
Mmm... how about we give each other a color instead? Anything in that color. Mine's yellow. It's not my favorite, but it'd be nice to have something yellow in my room for once.

From: SixthBennetSister23
Great idea. Okay, um... I guess I'll go with red. I'm not a big fan of red, but with your yellow logic and all that, yeah. Let's go red.

This will be fun. That's basically our GOTD then: gift of the day.

From: SixthBennetSister23
Eight in the evening, we have to put our gifts in their respective places. When we're done, we can message each other where it is. No cheating, okay? We have to stand by our rule.

Cheating is for dorks. You can count on me, Miss Bennet.

Thank God I was free by five tonight. All the shows were replaced by some big Christmas segment on TV, so the news was pre-filmed and to be aired after the segment. When the clock struck five, I was already walking my way back to my apartment with a list of people to give presents to and a bit of spare cash I've saved up for Christmas.

I was that one weird kid that always preferred Christmas over Thanksgiving, simply because Christmas felt a little more exciting. It is, because no one made Billboard-chart Thanksgiving hits. Mariah Carey would say no to one, even if it'd earn her the same amount she earns every year on "All I Want for Christmas is You." So generally, I allot part of my savings for Christmas presents for my friends and family. Most of my friends were from work and some from college, but this year, I'm glad I made friends in Smosh.

As I walk around the mall, I already check off my list.

ATHENS PEEPS (yay!)
• Lily
- Dope ass succulent pots and case, because Lily loves the little leaves.
• Brian
- Mug that says "I'm a dad to all my co-workers."
• Nina
- New hair curler because hers just broke. Gotta stan our stylist.
• The Boss
- A nice book. I don't know what she likes, okay?

SMOSH FRIENDS (yay!)
• Shayne
- A blue muscle shirt with a hood and a text that says: "It is Monday!" Very Shayne.
• Courtney
- Two food-themed pin sets meant for denim jackets and bags. Court Bourt loves them pins.
• Ian
- Lily's favorite perfume on men. *aggressive wink*
• Olivia
- A pair of weirdly shaped but very hip rose-tinted sunglasses. Perfect!
• Keith
- A new hat, which I hope he doesn't have yet. Plz.
• Noah
- A yellow collared shirt that says "I'm nice." Because he's nice. The N in Noah stands for nice.
• Mari
- A graphic novel of one of my favorites from Neil Gaiman! <3
• Matt
- Hair dye. I just wanna see him dye his hair again. It was pretty cool.
• Sarah
- A wine glass with the words "Memelord." Also got the same for Tommy! Drink wine in style.
