No new ship names on the first apparently. Lilyshipping for Gloria x Yuri has been added to the list here due to finding it being used on Youtube. If I am missing anything let me know.
Summary: These two are a pretty dangerous combination when it comes to the holidays.
“We have FIVE DAYS until Christmas. FIVE. DAYS.”
“Which means, we have to buckle down and get moving—this is a list of the sales and last minute coupons we’ve got. This is going to be the last rush, so let’s get this done!!”
Noa stared at the ten page document that had been thrust in his direction.
“Excuse me, Mokie, but this thing is double sided and single spaced,” he said.
“Don’t worry, that’s just the ones we want you and Arcadia to hit up,” said Mokuba. “So we won’t cross over each other—this is more efficient!”
Noa stared blankly at him for a moment. Mokuba just grinned at his brother and crossed his eyes. Honestly, Noa's expressions were one of the most fun parts of this ridiculous outing of theirs.
Despite it being so close to Christmas, it was still super busy with last minute shoppers bustling all over the place in the crowded mall. There were vast waves of people in knit caps and long coats, laden down with bags sporting logos from numerous stores. Christmas music played softly from the speakers somewhere high above, clashing for dominance on occasion with a wave of music from an open store front, and the scent of fast food drifted up from the food courts below.
They had arrived about ten minutes ago and it had taken another ten minutes for Mokuba and Rebecca to regroup with Noa and Arcadia in the crowd—apparently that was partially because Arcadia had gotten distracted at least five times gawking over the sparkly decorations in store windows or the flashing lights of some new toy. If Mokuba was reading Noa's stance right, he was probably miffed that he had been pulled into this Christmas shopping mission. “Arcadia and I were going to see a movie, Mokie. Is this really necessary? All my shopping is done already.”
Yeah, but not everything was bought and prepared for the big reunion Christmas party with everyone, so that was the major mission today!
Rebecca flapped her own thick document at the group.
“I've optimized this for speed, efficiency, and ease of acquiring the listed items,” she said. “If you follow the instructions, your expected time spent should be two to three hours when factoring in lines and crowds. It should bring you into the food court at the same time as us so that we can reconvene for lunch at noon.”
Noa continued to stare blankly at his list, and Arcadia leaned up onto her tip toes so that she could put her chin on Noa's shoulder, looking at the list curiously, her lips a small “o” of interest.
“Got it, Noa?” Mokuba prompted.
Noa looked at Mokuba with a grimace. Then he sighed.
“Fiiiine,” he said. “Two to three hours. Got it. Not like I had plans today.”
He sighed again.
“Let's go, Arcadia, get this done,” Noa said.
“Yay! It'll be an adventure, Noa-kun!” Arcadia said. “What's first, what's first??”
Noa took Arcadia's hand and they disappeared into the crowd. Rebecca spun on her heels to face Mokuba, hands on her hips, looking quite pleased with herself.
“This will work out well, I think,” she said. “This Christmas party is going to be amazing.”
“As long as we have something to say about it!” Mokuba laughed, hooking his arm into hers. “Good plan, there, catching Noa while he was out with Arcadia—she'll keep him enjoying himself and make sure he stays on track since she thinks its a scavenger hunt or something.”
“I am a genius after all,” Rebecca said with a laugh. “Now come on, my fellow conspirator, we have some Christmas shopping to do!”
They grinned at each other, Rebecca clutching their ten page list of things to hit in one hand. Mokuba leaned forward to bump his forehead against hers, and she laughed, nuzzling noses with him briefly.
Then, arm in arm, they sauntered off on their mission.
Nellshipping/Lilyshipping Day 4: On a Date by starfireelf15
Little known facts: Arcadia is fascinated by horror movies. There is very little about horror that scares her because adamantly believes that ghosts do not exist and any other horror movie staples (demons, serial killers, etc) are no match for her spirit friends so she doesn't feel the need to be scared of them. She thinks they're actually kinda fun and interesting to watch (she is a surprisingly morbid child I think she gets it from Ryo).
On the other hand, Noa does not like horror movies. At all. He will not sleep for weeks. When Arcadia asked him to go to the movies with her he was expecting like a Pixar film or something not this paranormal crazy killer shit
(she'll make up for it later by watching Inside Out with him, he likes animated movies)
