The holidays were very nice and I had a lovely time, I hope everyone else did too.
I met a nice lady while at the library the other day. I was there looking up things for a geography project we're starting at school soon. She was very curious about the strange dreams a lot of people have been having recently though.

Hmm, talking of the project... we have to choose a country for it, but I'm not sure which to do. I think I might choose Peru though, because... well, it'd be nice to learn more about the people there and how they live.

*Yuusei got Ruka as his Secret Santa. He got a scrapbook, that's decorated nicely and neatly filled with all kinds of photos that were all taken these past few years. They're mostly photos of Yuusei and the others, either with each other, or other people living at Sakana. There are photos from any outings they've had or events they may of been to, just, a lot of happy memories for him to look at.
Ruka knew while making it, that it would be sort of obvious it'd be from her, or at least someone he lived with, but she knew this was something he was going to like.
Enjoy!*

.... ...geography project?

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Rua, they told us before winter break that we're starting a geography project. We have to choose a country for the project and write about it.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

I don't remember anything about that!

When's it due!?

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you would.

It's okay. All we had to do is choose a country over the holidays, the rest of the work is in class. We're expected to have all chosen a country and gotten some resource materials by Friday though.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

Oh, phew! Thought I was gonna have to spend the rest of my break on homework!

...

...what country should I pick?

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess you should pick a country you want to learn about.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

....well what country am I supposed to wanna learn about? I'm not a geogralist or something!

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

You mean "Geologist".
I can't really tell you what country you should choose. I'm thinking of doing Peru because of the origin of the signer marks. Naturally I won't be mentioning anything about that, but it's nice to know a bit more about the area and the people who live there.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

Geez....I dunno. America and Russia got into space first, right? That's pretty cool. Maybe I can pick one'a them.

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

I think those sound like a good idea!

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

But all the stuff that's been done now is pretty boring compared to what had been done back when we lived in Tops.

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Well you can't mention anything that's not happened yet.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

I know!

...what about the Fortune Cup, can I mention that?

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

It hasn't happened yet, Rua. So no.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

Well everybody that it was important to is here anyway!

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Yes, but we're not the ones that will be reading the geography project. The school will and they don't know.

[hasthetouch.livejournal.com]

FINE WHATEVER I'll do the stupid space thing...

"Ruka." At some point after Ruka gave Yuusei the scrapbook, Yuusei's tracked her down, the book in hand.

"I didn't see a name on this gift - do you have any idea who it's from?" He says this with a pretty obvious knowing tone.

Re: Event

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

*Ruka smiles, picking up on his knowing tone very easilly*

I thought you'd figure it out. Do you like it?

Re: Event

[shooting-sonic.livejournal.com]

Yuusei bends down and wraps his arms around Ruka - a fairly rare gesture for someone usually as reserved as Yuusei.

"I love it."

After a few seconds he breaks the hug and stands back up. He gestures towards the door. "C'mon. I have something to show you."

Re: Event

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

*Ruka recieves the hug, happy that he likes the gift*

Something to show me?

*Curiously, Ruka follows Yuusei through the door*

Re: Event

[shooting-sonic.livejournal.com]

Yuusei eventually leads her to the garage...

Once they get in, he tosses her a helmet. It's pink, and for some reason has two holes for her pigtails.

Re: Event

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

A helmet?

*She puts the helmet on and it fits perfectly. Pigtails and all!*

Re: Event

[shooting-sonic.livejournal.com]

Next, he hands her...a D-Board.

It's pink.

"Merry Christmas, Ruka."

Re: Event

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

*Yuusei can instantly see Ruka's face light up as soon as she sees the D-Board. She takes it from him, seemingly speechless at first, before she gives Yuusei a huge hug!*

Thank you, Yuusei!!

Re: Event

[shooting-sonic.livejournal.com]

Yuusei lets out an 'oof' as Ruka hugs him, but pats her on the back just the same. "I'm glad you like it."

He briefly takes it back and points to a port near the back. "And if you hook this port to your Duel Disk, it can be used for Riding Duels."

Re: Event

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

*Ruka looks at the port at the back as he points to it*

That's amazing! It'll be nice to try a riding duel out with it one day. I'll need to build a deck for it first though.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Um... Excuse me. But are you... Ruka?

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's me...
...wait... you're the one who was in that dream, right? Burning all those buildings?

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Um, yes.

I think I owe you an apology. You seemed very... Alert, in the dream.

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

It seemed very real at the time..
But it's okay, after all, it was just a dream.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

I'll be honest. It seemed very real to me, as well, when I was in it. But you still seemed pretty distressed, so, um... Sorry.

... I'm. "Samasu, Souha", by the way.

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

It's fine, really!
It's nice to meet you, Souha.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

It's nice to meet you too, Ruka.

[voicesofspirits.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure. It was just a dream after all right? No harm done.

[keepersouha.livejournal.com]

... Yes, yes, it was.

I really wonder what in the world has been causing all of this, recently...
