Christmas Cheer Gone Sour

[beforethedarkness]

Who: Sasuke Uchiha beforethedarkness, Riku islandshore, Sora islandsky, Kairi lightofheart
Where: Celadon City, Training Center
When: December 17th 2012, Evening
Summary: Sasuke receives a mysterious package from an anonymous gift-giver. Upon finding that the package contains cookies, his first instinct is to throw them out. His friends and pokémon at the Training Center, however, don't think that's a good thing to do with the Christmas gift he's received...
Rating: PG-13 for possible curse words (from Sasuke mostly)
Log: The door of the training center was knocked upon one cool evening, and to greet that person at the door was none other than Sasuke Uchiha, the only one who wasn't a Kingdom Hearts character who was close to it at the time. When he was met with someone delivering a parcel specifically addressed to him, it got the delivery boy a raised eyebrow. When the boy just shrugged and walked away once he confirmed that it had been delivered, Sasuke only shook his head before going into the training center with the box. Who had sent him something, and for what reason? Suspicious.

Sasuke arrived in the kitchen having torn off the fancy wrapping paper on the box, opening it to find something that made him scoff. Without hesitation he dropped the box into the nearby garbage bin, getting a look from Hiruzen and Ino as he made to go to the fridge and start preparing dinner. Apparently, Sasuke didn't like his Christmas Present, whatever it was.

"You're not even going to open it?"

Sure enough, it was Sora poking his head into Sasuke's business. It wouldn't, or shouldn't, come as any surprise. After getting off of the network earlier, set to the task of collecting popcorn and some pokéfood. Sora was threading it together to form the garland that he mentioned. Needless to say there are popcorn bags and the like scattered about him. Messy kid was messy, after all.

Soooo I totally forgot to ask about a posting order. orz;

"I already opened it," He shook his head and pulled out some of the vegetables he had been planning on using. Whether everyone else wanted it or not, he'd prepare some tofu stir-fry with tomatoes that night, although the pokémon would likely get something different.

"Don't want it."

Sora -> Sasuke -> Riku, maybe? :|a

Oh, well that was interesting. Interesting enough for a certain ghost to make his own grand entrance, floating right past the boys and over to the trash bin. He might've been easy to miss, if it weren't for the fact that he was a five-foot floating head. Unfortunately for Sora and Sasuke alike, Phantom wasn't about to ignore those tasty treats...

In fact, upon spotting the cookies, he reached in with one of his hands and began scooping them out. And judging by the sound of footsteps approaching, his trainer wasn't far behind.

"That's not very nice, Sasuke. Gifts are too important to just throw away like that..."

That was when Sora noticed Phantom digging around in the trash. Sora got up to take a peek too. Of course Sora wanted to know what was so bad that Sasuke would throw a perfectly good gift out.

"Cookies... Who throws out cookies?"

[beforethedarkness]

Sasuke shook his head, glancing back to the others briefly before he went back to cutting up the carrots he had pulled out, "I don't know who sent them. And I don't like sweets."

Hiruzen, however, watched as Phantom brought them out, blinking a few times before warbling at the scent of sweet from the cookies. Unlike his trainer, Hiruzen loved sweets. So there the Blaziken was, walking up to Phantom and tilting his head before crowing questioningly.

It didn't take long for Ino to join him, hovering around and glancing up at Phantom as well.

Before paying Hiruzen much mind, Phantom raised one of the cookies to his face, squinted, and tossed it into his mouth. After smacking his lips, he snickered and passed one cookie to Sora, another to Hiruzen, and extended one last cookie to Sasuke, wiggling it back and forth. It was his last chance to change his mind, otherwise he'd happily pass them around to everyone else.

The footsteps grew closer all the while until, finally, Riku slipped into the kitchen with a snicker and a smirk.

"Well, I didn't know you baked, Sasuke." Sarcasm laced his words, but, hey, how could he resist?

[heartdive]

Sora, at first, just looked at Sasuke with wide eyes. He... He didn't like sweet things? Who in their right mind hated cookies of all things? "Sasuke... We're so going to have to change this. How can you be a kid and claim to not like sweet stuff? I mean have you ever had something like ice cream?"

With that said, Sora happily takes the cookie from Phantom, grinning from ear to ear. It was really Sasuke's loss. Of course, being the boy that Sora was, he kind of wolfed that first one down. When Riku made that little jibe, Sora grinned and waved. Cookie face? Definitely with a cookie face.

"I just never liked them," He shook his head before turning to Riku again, watching him with a bit of a glower.

"I didn't make them. A 'secret admirer' sent them to me. I wouldn't eat them even if I did like sweets," He almost wanted to roll his eyes before he went back to what he was doing. Still, Sasuke paused before grabbing one of the pieces of tomato he had diced earlier to eat, because clearly tomatoes were better than cookies.

Hiruzen gladly took one from Phantom as well, munching on it happily and reveling in the sweet taste. Ino just used one of her back wings to swipe one before sliding it into her mouth, trilling once she had and flying up to try and get another. She was fast enough the first time, but was she good enough for round two?
