"What do you think you're doing, Marc!?" exclaimed Cat, flustered at her brother.
"Aw, come on. It's Valentines Day!" Marc said to Cat, "And besides, don't you want to make your little crush happy?"
"U-uh....Marc! Just stop it!" Cat exclaimed, "I...I can't do it! I'm too nervous!"
"There's nothing to be nervous about," Marc said, "All you have to do is give Ara a gift, and get this over with. I was over at the guild earlier today, everyone is parting gifts today. Just give this to her already, or I just wasted my money on nothing." Marc then started shoving the stuffed-bear in front of Cat.
Cat just stood there, not making a sound. She then grabbed the bear, and headed out of the house. You better not be pulling my heel, Marc. But, thank you anyway. And....I hope Ara likes this present.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ara was heading near the entrance of the Grand Opium Forest, when suddenly she started hearing footsteps. She looked back, to see cat running towards her. "Oh," Ara said, "Hi, Cat. What's up?"
Cat then stopped running, and started catching her breath. I'm glad I made it to Ara on time, or else this would've been too late. Cat then immediately regained her composure, and looked at Ara. "U-um....uh... H-happy Valentines Day, Ara!" Cat exclaimed. She was so nervous, she couldn't keep her cool. "I-I...um...I g-got you this for today, I-I hope you like it." Cat then took out the giant stuffed-bear that Marc gave her.
Ara looked at the bear in complete shock, and was quiet.
Because of Ara's reaction, Cat immediately started getting even more anxious. O-oh no, did she not like it! I knew I shouldn't have trusted Mar....
Ara then gave Cat a hug, and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! How did you know I wanted this?"
Cat was surprised by the sudden hug, and didn't know what to do. "I...uh...lucky guess?" was all that Cat could muster.
Ara then remembered something, and broke the hug. "Wait a second here, Cat. I got to get something," Ara said. She then made herself an ice path, and started sliding back to her house. Dammit! I left my other gifts at home! I have to get Cat her present! It's the least I could do before I go train!
Cat just stood there, not really knowing just happened. Thank you, Marc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ara finally came back, and had Cat's gift. "I'm sorry for leaving like that," Ara said, "But, here you go." Ara then handed Cat a box of chocolates, and a little present box.
Cat took the both presents, and was in awe. It seemed like Ara had put a lot of thought into these gifts. Cat then opened up the little box, and inside was a picture frame. The picture frame was designed accustomed to the holiday, and it held a picture of Ara, Cat, and Marc (Cat and Marc in the picture looking oblivious to what is happening).
Ara then said, "This is a picture I took when you guys first moved near us. I could've asked for your guy's attention, but....I didn't think of that at the time."
Cat started chuckling, and then her chuckling turned into sobbing. But, she wasn't crying of sadness, but instead of joy. "Thank you, Ara," Cat said.
Ara gave Cat a hug, and then said, "No problem." Ara then broke the hug, and then said, "Well, I'll see you later." Ara then started running into forest.
Cat waved, and then said, "Yeah, I'll see you later."
