One day, BlackHawkGS decided to take a risk. Recently, he had invested in a bunch of DandiiDooDad Spores, an evolution item that was suppose to greatly increase in price. However, the Spore's second evolution was not pleasing to the Gaian economy, and the price plummeted. Hawk's investment had failed.
Hawk was low on gold. He took what he had left and bought one of the new OMG boxes off of the marketplace, in hopes that he'd get one of the fun new items everyone was discussing. He found one for 14k and took it home. Excitedly, he ripped off the ribbon, opened the box and found...
And ancient trunk.
Hawk was really excited. Other Gaians had told rumors of all the possible treasures that could lie within, but there was one treasure that was the most valuable of all. One treasure that was worth a fortune on the marketplace and was an item he thought was the coolest by far...
Hawk opened the ancient trunk and found a WTF hat, worth 180,000g at the time.
He was overjoyed and grabbed the hat with haste. He thrust his head in and tried on all the various poses. Several took to his liking and he laughed at the amusing IDK poses. Hawk thumbed around his inventory and put together an outfit just to go with the hat. He then ran out to the GCD and bragged with the others that were lucky enough to obtain the treasure.
After a day of fun, he retreated to his house (WHICH HE HASN'T REDECORATED IN YEEEAAARRSS) and broke out a cup of hot chocolate. He put down his new treasure on the table (WHICH WOULDN'T BE SO SMALL IF HE REDECORATED.)
A list lying on the table caught his attention:
Christmas List for the Guildies!
Zahmen-?
Tak-Jak-?
Kirby-?
Nova-?
Voxxxx(or however many x's that is)-?
Waffles-?
Reese-?
Other guildies I can't remember right now-?
And maybe be a gift fairy for some random people-?
The boy recalled what he had told everyone, "I'm gonna get you the best present ever! Just you wait and see!" Then he remembered his failed Spore investment... the idea that was suppose to give him money to buy those presents. He could still sell the Spore's as they were, but the presents wouldn't be as extravagant as he'd hoped.
His eyes turned to where he had set down his new treasure, the WTF hat. The most valuable thing he owned right now.
He had an idea.

Many Gaians stood in line at the Marketplace, all holding items they were wishing to sell. Snow crunched under the shoes of a black boy with messy white hair as he ran to get in the line of other Gaians wanting to sell WTF hats.
They were all talking about what they were going to do with their money.
"Ha! With the 180k I'm going to get from this thing, I'm going to try and buy a CoCo Kitty for my avatar!"
"Cool! I'm going to get a bunch of Dark Stars so I can try them out with my ninja avatar!"
"Not as good as mine! I want to get a bunch of those Fausto's Bottles and invest in something even more!"
They noticed that Hawk had jumped in their line. One of them turned around.
"Hey, you selling one of these things too? What are you going to do with the money?"
Hawk looked down at the hat and returned his focus to the person in front of him. "Oh, I'm selling this so I can get something for my guildies for Christmas!"

A true story that I thought would be fun to tell, since it fit the season xd Still can't believe that I got one of those hats on the first try, since luck is usually never on my side in those situations.
I'm sure I'll get the WTF hat back someday. But you guys mean a lot more to me right now biggrin Listening to me bitching about my life, reading my writing and forcing a laugh if needed, returning random PMs or profile comments, etc. An online family, if you will xd
