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*
