The Best Christmas Present Ep. 3

Setsuna

It's almost time for everyone to arrive. I need to head to the door to meet my guests, as to not be rude!

Setsuna

Is there anything that I've forgotten? I should do one last walk-through to check before everyone gets here.

Setsuna

There are drinks and cups, the hors d'oeuvres that my mom prepared, enough seats for everyone, and…

Setsuna

Oh, they're here!

Setsuna

Yes, I'll be right there!

[Fade in/out.]

Setsuna, Ai, Kotori, Hanayo, You, Ruby

Cheers!

You

Mm! This is so good!

Kotori

*Giggle* It really starts to feel like Christmas when you drink this, doesn't it?

Ruby

It's just sparkling juice, but somehow I feel so much more mature.

Ai

I'm gonna gobble up some of that chicken! Oh, do you want some too, Hanayo?

Hanayo

Yeah! *Munch* *Munch* Mmm, it's delicious!

Setsuna

Oh, Hanayo, there is some freshly cooked rice over there too, so please, by all means, help yourself.

Hanayo

What?! Y-You have rice too?!

Setsuna

Of course! I knew you would be here at the party, so of course I had to make sure there's rice!

Hanayo

S-Setsuna!

Hanayo

But with all these hors d'oeuvres, I should probably hold off on the rice. Ugh…

Ai

I don't think you have to?

Hanayo

Rice, please!

Setsuna, Ai, Kotori, You, Ruby

Ahahaha!

[Fade in/out.]

Ai

Y'know, this is the first time I've played a round of Old Maid that was this easy to predict.

You

Ah, ahaha. Ruby can't lie to save her life.

Ruby

Uhhh, Kotori, are you sure you want that card? Are you sure you don't want to think it over?

Ruby

This one, or even this other one, might be an even better choice? You know?

Kotori

Ruby… I'm so sorry!

Ruby

Eeek!!

Hanayo

I-I kind of want to take Ruby's joker from her.

Setsuna

Indeed. She looks close to tears.

You

Actually, that being said, Kotori had the joker earlier and it's come full circle right back to Ruby, so this is just the workings of fate.

Ai

That joker sure loves Ruby a whole bunch!

Ruby

*Sob*
