LOU'S POV:
As I wait for customers in my shop, I then start to daydream about all sorts of flavours.. 'Blueberry Twirl..Raspberry Crush..Mango Tango-' "Ahoy there, Lou! May you reccomend me a flavour? Gimme you're good ones!" "Oh, hey Penny! My friends reccomend the flavour 'Blueberry Twirl'! Or if ya don't like sweet flavours, we can have the original!" I place the Blueberry sauce on the counter, then grabbing the rainbow sauce beside it. "Ooh! I want that one, that one!" Penny said (don't ask why she's here..), pointing at the sauce.
I sigh, looking at the sauce once again. 'Jeez, the sauce is almost out.. Does the appearance really matter?' I nod to her request, grabbing the cone and pouring the shaved ice on the cone, then pouring the sauce on. "Here ya go, lil' kid! Though, next time, you should try our new flavours!" I smile, then handing the snow cone over. Penny nods excitingly, snatching the cone then walking away from the shop.
"See ya soon kiddo!" As I greet her goodbye, I then head over to my calendar, to check the date. Then, I realised.. It's Christmas Eve! "Oh! I didn't realise it was Christmas Eve so soon.. I should ask Mr. P about this! And maybe we could even throw a party there!" I hum in delight, grabbing the sign and turning it around to a 'Closed' sign. I then head out my shop, off to Mr. P!
As I was walking to the hotel, I came across Surge, Max, and Jacky, just. few kilometers away from the hotel. "Heya pals! What'ya guys doing right now?" I wave at them, just to get an instant wave from Surge, though it seemed like he was blushing? He then shakes his head off, his blush less obvious. "Heya, Lou! We were just making snowmans over here, and we were also thinking of doing snowball fighting!" As Surge walks up to me, Max then Jacky follows him after. As his sentences were muffled by my brains, my eyes then focused on the other couples passing by. Others were holding hands, some were kissing, but one standed out the most.. A mistletoe? "Hey Lou, you alright bro? You seem pretty quiet." I then snap out of my gaze from the other, focusing on Surge as he snaps his fingers. "Oh, I'm alright dea- Surge! No worries, nothing at all, no!" I immediately continued my sentence, blushing bc of him and my embarrassment. 'Gosh, did I really say that, infront of him?! I really need to be more careful, Jesus..' As I feel my face calm down, I then focus on Surge again.
"Alrighty.. Oh, by the way! I heard Mr. P is actually having a Christmas Party at his hotel, for the first time! I'm so psyched to be at the party! Are you coming, Lou?" 'Oh? I guess I don't need to head to the hotel anymore. But.. I kinda wanna do the mistletoe..' I think of, blushing at the thought of it. "Oh, uh, yeah, of course!" I say, smiling at him, quickly speeding to the hotel.
A FEW MINUTES LATER..
As I arrive to his hotel, I go inside cautiously, heading to the receptionist. "Heya! Is Mr. P free by any chance? I'm here to talk to my pal, Mr. P!" "Mm.. Sorry, he's in a meeting dear. I can just write it down for you and I'll send it to Mr. P later." I sigh, scratching my head. "Really? Aw shucks, I really needed to talk to him.. Anyways, thanks though!" I head back outside, till I hear a familiar shout from the other side... "Hey Lou, my receptionist told me you needed a word with me!" As I turn around, I was met with Mr. P! As he gestures me to come over, I followed his gestures, his gestures then leading me to his office.
