Chapter Text
It was 5pm. Prissy thankfully had the day off work from the Great Nations Park Service. She had been working hard on achieving her next promotion, and certainly put in the hours this month. Her fingers twirled through her frizzy green hair as she sank into the couch with a heavy sigh.
Holly should be home anytime, she thought to herself. Lucky for her, the sound of keys jingled in the front door as it flung open.
“Bunnyyyyyy!!!” Prissy darted to the front door and scooped Holly into a hug that swept her off of her feet.
“WooooaaaaaAAAAA!!!” Holly shrieked as Prissy spun around, still holding her. After a few seconds of spinning, Prissy set her down. “Wow my flower, you must have missed me!”
“Gosh, of course I did! I’ve just been so darn bored today. Work has kept me so busy these days that the day off just feels so…empty. Huh, sounds familiar doesn’t it?”
“Oh shush, you know I haven’t been doing as much as I used to!” Holly playfully defended herself, lightly nudging Prissy’s arm.
“I know, bunny. And I’m proud of you for taking that time for yourself.” Prissy pressed a soft kiss to Holly’s cheek. Holly let out a cute giggle and planted a larger kiss on Prissy’s cheek.
“Thank you, flower. It means the world to hear you say that.”
Holly removed her shoes and hung up her coat in the closet. The two women walked hand-in-hand to the living room and flopped onto the couch cushions. Holly let out a large sigh as Prissy straightened out Holly’s skirt.
“How was work today?” Prissy inquired.
“Oh you know.. it’s been so busy for me to keep up with deliveries lately. The Blissmas season is one of the best parts of the year! Along with Venetian’s Day…and Gleester…and Balloween…” Holly trailed off.
“Bun, are you tired? It’s okay if you need a moment,” Prissy reassured her. Holly took a few deep breaths before starting again.
“I am pretty tired. Not nearly as exhausted as I got back when we were objects though. You know how bad I got back then.”
Prissy nodded. “I’m glad you aren’t that bad. You have tomorrow off, don’t you?”
“I do!! Aw, I’ll be so boredddd!!!”
“I know, I know. You’ll be just like me today. But I think I’ve got an idea on how to make some of that time go right by! Only if you’re up for it though.”
“Ooo, what’s the plan?” Holly sat up excitedly.
“Okay, so you know how you were planning to use Blissmas to deliver gifts to our friends?”
“Yeeeees?”
“What if…we throw a Blissmas party? We can think about our guest list today, tomorrow you can message everyone an invite, and I’ll take care of the menu!”
Holly beamed at Prissy’s offer. “YESSSSS!!! That’s a GREAT idea!!! I still get to give my gifts, but I also get to see our friends for more than a few seconds AND you’ll be there?? What a great idea!!”
Prissy chuckled. “It’s your service, you can run it differently for one day, right?”
“You’re so right! Okay okay okay. Eeeeee!!! I’m so excited!! Who do we wanna invite?”
Prissy ran through the names in her mind. “Well, I’m the closest with our attic friends, I spent way too long up there. Let’s see…there’s Zoey of course, Parker, Artt, Lady Memoria, Hector, Monique, and Sophia…have you heard anything about Sophia lately?”
“I haven’t, actually. It’s been a loooong time. I might have to ask Monique about her when I talk to her. Okay, I’ve got some more friends from the closets. There’s Beau, but she’s off on an adventure with the camp right now. Tina…no..she’s in Hollywood now. Being close to her, I saw Tony more, and he’s back in the area now, so maybe he’ll want to come! There’s Tyrell, Teddy, and Dunk…Oh, I should probably invite Dorian too!”
“Is there anyone else?” Prissy grew more anxious with the expanding guest list as she thought about the limited space in their home, but was willing to make it work for Holly.
“I wanna invite Betty, Kopi, and Florence of course. They helped me at some of my lowest times, I have to! Betty is in Hollywood now too…maybe she’ll be back for the holidays! I know Kopi is! And of course if I invite Florence, I have to invite Celia! I should probably also invite everyone who helped me during flyer drops! Dante, Rebel, Cam, and…I guess that means Jerry too..”
“Do you want to invite Jerry?”
Holly hesitated. “I do love Jerry…I guess his habits aren’t nearly as bad as they used to be. It’s fine! I’ll invite him!”
“Is there anyone else? The list has grown a lot.” Prissy worried.
“No, I think that’s…wait…SKYLAR!!! Oh gee, if I forgot the one who brought us into the human world, I would’ve felt guilty for all my days!!”
Prissy, who has been writing each name down on a notepad, counted each name. “..19..20..21. Gosh, what a full house!”
“As if we weren’t used to 100 others being in the same house?”
“Well…we weren’t all there at the same time! It’s a lot, but…I think we can manage. Let’s do this, bun!”
“Yaaaaaay!! Time to eat now? I’m sooo hungry!!” Holly leaped off the couch and took Prissy’s hand, heading off to the kitchen for dinner.
