(Author's note: I'm a noobish fan fic writer so bear with this attempt at a cute Christmas story... I have lots of ideas coming up... so if you like this let me know so I can add Chapter Two! Also, I incorporate a lot of Gaia's items in the story since it IS a Gaian fic. Heh. Thanks, Cherry.)
Chapter One: Mailbox Mystery.
It was Christmas day in Barton. Cherry strolled through the streets as all of the shops began opening up for another day of business. Holding onto her purple Rush messenger bag she hurried over to her destination: The Barton Boutique.
When she finally got there and opened the door, the familiar bell chime rang and she was enthusiastically greeted by Ian, the shopkeeper.
"Well look who it is! Lil Miss Cherry Fluffy!" shouted Ian over the hubbub of Christmas shoppers.
She gave him a playful smirk. "Didn't I tell you I hate that nickname of yours?"
He multi-tasked, ringing up the customers' purchases while talking. "Yeah but loosen up will ya? It's Christmas. Why are you here anyway? Not celebrating, or buying a last minute gift?"
"Well I opened my gifts already and thought I should deliver one more before grabbing a bite to eat somewhere... here!" She tossed a carefully wrapped little gift his way.
He looked at it surprised then looked back at her. "For me?" he asked disbelievingly.
"No, silly. For Rufus," she responded before stepping aside for a customer to leave the store.
"Actually... I ask because..." he pointed toward a large pile of shiny cat toys, gifts, cat n**, and scratching posts. Rufus was spreadeagled amidst the gift pile, clearly full of glee.
"Well... yeah it's just for you. I think Rufus has more than enough. I gotta go... the restaurant's going to be jammed with people if I don't get moving. See ya! Merry Christmas!"
Ian grinned and waved goodbye. "Hey... you might want to keep an eye on your mailbox today... see ya!"
"Huh...? okay later..." she responded, leaving the crowded shop with a quizzical expression on her face... but a warm feeling in her chest.
