//------------------------------// // Tenth Day - Wrapping Christmas Presents: // Story: The Dazzlings 12 Days of Christmas // by Zenyattaluver677 //------------------------------// It was currently 1:15 in the afternoon on December 23rd, Sonata and Aria were currently in Aria’s room finishing up wrapping presents, and Adagio was in her room wrapping presents for her sisters. Sonata was sitting on Aria’s bedroom floor wrapping presents for her oldest sister, and Aria was wrapping presents on her bed for both her sisters, since she was able to wrap Sonata’s presents since Sonata was currently distracted. Every few minutes, Aria looked up to check on her younger sister and see how she was doing and if she needed any help with wrapping her presents. “Ari.” Sonata said after looking at the small things she had for Adagio, wondering what to do with them. “What?” Aria softly asked, looking up at her younger sister to see what she wanted. “What am I going to do with all these small things that I got for Dagi?” Sonata asked, pointing to the pile of smaller things beside her. “You’ll just put them in her stocking, I’m going to do the same thing with the small things I got her.” Aria softly explained as she finished wrapping one of Sonata’s presents and set the name thing on it and wrote who it was for and that it was from her. “What’s happening at one thirty today that I you and Dagi were talking about this morning at breakfast?” Sonata asked again, watching her older sister grab something she’d gotten for Adagio and set it on her bed so she could wrap it. “What’s happening is you’re going to go into Adagio’s room and wrap presents in there until two.” Aria softly answered as she began to wrap the present that was currently in front of her that was for Adagio. “Oh ok.” Sonata replied before turning back to finish wrapping the present she was currently wrapping. *15 MINUTES LATER* “Ok Aria, I’ll take her now.” Adagio said as she opened Aria’s bedroom door slightly and explained she was ready for Sonata to come with her now. “Alright, she’s grabbing what she was using to wrap presents” Aria replied, saying Sonata was coming shortly. Adagio waited outside Aria’s bedroom for Sonata, who appeared in the hallway and shut Aria’s bedroom door behind her a couple minutes later. “Ok. Where did you put the stuff you bought for Aria?” Adagio asked once Sonata was standing in front of her and looking at her. “In my closet in my bedroom, since she doesn’t normally go in there.” Sonata answered, pointing down the hall in the direction of her bedroom. “Let’s go get that stuff then and we’ll bring it into my room and I’ll help you wrap it.” Adagio explained, beginning to walk towards Sonata’s bedroom which was back down the hall in the direction of the stairs. She only allowed Sonata in her room if she was in there with her and gave Sonata permission. “Ok.” Sonata replied, following Adagio down the hall to her bedroom. Adagio and Sonata entered Sonata’s room and walked over to the closet and opened it, Adagio proceeded to grab the bags full of stuff that Sonata’d bought Aria the week before. The two of them exited Sonata’s room, closed her bedroom door behind them and then walked back down the hall towards Adagio’s bedroom, which was across the hall from Aria’s. “Now remember. I have one rule when you’re in my room that you don’t have when you’re in Aria’s room.” Adagio explained as they stopped in front of her bedroom door, “no touching anything, just sit on the floor and wrap your presents.” she finished, turning to look at Sonata before she did. “Ok Dagi. Will you help me wrap her presents?” Sonata asked, saying she understood the major rule of Adagio’s room. “If you need help I’ll help you but I need to wrap the things I got Aria to.” Adagio answered as she opened her bedroom door and stepped inside. Sonata slowly walked into Adagio’s room and then shut the door behind her, she then walked over to where Adagio’d set her presents on the floor and sat down beside them so she could start wrapping them. Once Sonata was situated, Adagio walked back over to her bed to continue wrapping the presents she had for Aria, she’d finished Sonata’s already, they were sitting in her closet. “Dagi what do I do with the clothes I got her? And the new blanket I got Ari?” Sonata asked, looking up at Adagio a few minutes later. “Put the shirts in this box, the hoodies in this one and the blanket in this one. Then just tape the box and then wrap it and put Aria’s name on it.” Adagio explained without looking up at Sonata, she just passed her three small boxes she could put stuff for Aria in. “So, just use these three boxes for her shirts, hoodies and blanket?” Sonata asked, since she was slightly confused with how Adagio’s explained things to her. “Yes. That’s what you’re supposed to do.” Adagio replied, glancing over her shoulder at her youngest sister. “Ok.” Sonata said before busying herself with wrapping Aria’s presents. It was now 1:38 in the afternoon. *22 MINUTES LATER* “How’s it going in here?” Aria asked as she opened Adagio’s bedroom door and peeked her head in, she was now done wrapping all her presents. “Ari.” Sonata excitedly said when she looked up and saw her older sister. “Hey you. Are you done?” Aria replied, asking if Sonata was done wrapping her presents. “Yeah. I just have to take these back to my room.” Sonata explained, getting up and grabbing the presents on the floor in front of her to take them to her room. “Just put them under the tree Sonata. They’re done being wrapped.” Aria softly said, telling her sister where to put her presents. “Oh ok.” Sonata replied, carefully walking out of Adagio’s room and heading down the hall towards the stairs to take the presents down to the living room and put them under the tree. “I’ll wait here for you. Then we can either chill in my room or downstairs in the living room.” Aria said when Sonata walked past her. “Ok Ari.” Sonata said before continuing to walk. Aria closed Adagio’s bedroom door and leaned on the wall beside it while she waited for Sonata to come back upstairs, when Sonata came back a couple minutes later, she gently wrapped her arms around Aria’s shoulders and smiled at her older sister. Aria returned her smile and softly kissed her forehead, gently hugging her back. “Ok. Do you want to relax in my room or downstairs in the living room?” Aria softly asked after they finished hugging each other. “In your room.” Sonata answered, pointing across the hall to Aria’s bedroom door. “Alright, come on then.” Aria replied, walking across the hall to her bedroom, with Sonata following behind her.
