"Well, I never really had parents or friends... As a matter of fact I never really had family. Huh, weird, eh?" I mutter. "Ah, who cares, as my pet weasel would always say 'Don't live in the past, because it stinks like undies.' Or that's what I used to say for him." I get more ingredients for some other stuff.

Aero smiled. She flipped open her cook book to 'Sugar Cookies'.

I got out some cookies.

"Oh yeah! Cookies!" Shulk said, grabbing two of them.

"They're chocolate chip cookies." I told him, taking a bite out of one.
"I made them myself."

I read the ingredients out from over her shoulder. I got out those ingredients and set them on the table. "Sugar cookies?" I say. Then an idea shot fireworks in my mind. "We should totally throw a Christmas party here," I suggest. "I mean, the house is large enough, and it'd be fun. If you don't want to, that's fine, but I thought it was a great idea myself."

Aero grinned. "That's brilliant, Ace!" She said, and decided to quadruple the recipe.

"Hold on," I say. "We need normal cookies to decorate with icing on them. I've always wanted to do that. So, tomorrow, we're gonna go out and get some stuff to make for the party. Since we're out of school all next week, I was hoping we could have it on Monday. I'll help cook, and I'll clean up. Today, we'll make the cookies, decorate the house, and find Christmas movies to play. Tomorrow, we go shopping, we cook, and then tidy up a teensy bit. Then, on Monday, I'll clean up the house, and at 10:00, our friends should arrive. I'll go give out invitations. I'll leave you be, remember, just call me if you need me." I say, before vanishing.

Aero was grinning more and more as he continued talking. She found it amusing how engaged he was. She went back to making the cookies, and thought about gifts for her friends.

"These are great." Shulk said, with a mouth full of cookie.

"Glad you like them!" I replied.

In less than a minute, I came back. "Invited all of our friends." I say. "Ya know, I'd make an amazing postal service guy." I joke. I went outside to check the mail. I got a letter. I didn't know who Ginger Underling was. I opened it up and read it. "Oh, wow.. Nope, no I did NOT just get this." I say, reading the letter.

Aero glanced over Ace's shoulder as she mixed the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.

After all the cookies were eaten, I went back into the living room.

"Sounds like the mail's here. You want me to go get it?" Shulk asked.
