What: Christmas stuff
When: Morning of the 25th
Where: Harry's Apartment
Why: Because dorks



It had been years since Robyn had spent a Christmas with her dad. Sure, she got a phone call from him every year, but was far from actually getting to wake up to presents under a tree, the exchange gifts and enjoying a pleasant breakfast while listening to Difficult Death in the background.

Hey, they both agreed it was a Christmas movie.

The pleasant holiday experience ended shortly after breakfast though. See, both Robyn and her dad had gotten each other similar presents: They each got received a flannel bathrobe and toy lightsaber. Now they both stood in a living room littered with scraps of wrapping paper, clad in bathrobe with weapon in hand.

Robyn pointed her red lightsaber at her father, while her other hand shook one side of her robe in an attempt to make it billow dramatically. It was kind of working.

"Join me and together we an rule the apartment as daughter and father!"

Far too many years as far as Harry's concerned. As such, he'd spared no expense on making this one count. Big tree, real one too, no fake trees here, and he'd gotten up extra early to make sure everything was in place before Robyn woke up. He'd even gone far past the extra mile in making the ultimate Christmas sacrifice.

He was letting Robyn be the Dark Lord.

Brandishing his green lightsaber, he stood across his adversary.

"I'll never turn to the dark side."

"Is that so, Father?"

Darth Robyn didn't swayed by her misguided fathers choice. She still had an ace in the hole to bring him over to her side. She slowly side stepped over toward the table and pulled a white cloth placemat aside to reveal a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies. She looked to Harry and smirked.

"...But we have cookies. Are you sure you wont reconsider?"

Truly, the most dramatic reveal of them all! Harry's eyes widened when he saw the cookies but he quickly shook off the shock and composed himself just as quickly.

"You even turn delicious cookies to the service of evil?" His eyes narrowed. "You really have fallen far."

"The cookies have been on my side all along, the internet could have easily told you that!" She picked up one of the cookies and held it up to him.

"Now you have a choice, join me and eat all the delicious cookies or die by the sword.

...Or laser sword." She lowered the cookie and brandished the lightsaber. She broke the dramatic posturing for just a second to eat the cookie in her hand.

What? She was hungry. So sue her.

Christmas was certainly a thing to behold. Even if it was the one time of year her father was home, 'closeness' was still up to interpretation. He showed more affection than he would normally, but the silliness and energy were still new. Not to mention when decorating was happening. That was done by servants, never her or her father.

For the most part, she was quiet, just watching, but she decided that she liked it. This was what a family should be like, and she was glad that Robyn had it. (Especially that Robyn had it.)

Of course Danielle didn't actually have MONEY to buy anything, so she had gotten a bit more creative. Literally, as she decided to draw them pictures. Pictures of them, Mouse, people she's seen visit them, even Robyn as a cool superhero with lots of rose petals. (Like studying, drawing had been an activity she could do extensively, so she hoped they'd like them a little bit.)

And now she was getting to see a reenactment of Star Wars and it was rather hard to not giggle.
