Armored Core: The Final Push (Paused)

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Okay!" Kelly chirped, getting off the bed and practically skipping into the other room.

"Merry Christmas Jarid~"  

[Zahzi]

"I've been kidnapped and held against my will. What's so 'Merry' about it..?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You're alive and it's Christmas. Therefor, it's Merry." Kelly answered with a closed eye smile as she started to untie Jarid.  

[Zahzi]

Jarid just stared at her, dumbfounded.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Once Jarid was untied, Kelly immediately went to the tree and grabbed the present she had bought for him.

"That's for you. But you can't open it." She said, shaking her finger at him. "We have to wait for Dad first."  

[Zahzi]

The moment Jarid wasn't being commanded, he merely tossed the present behind him, making his way out of the room. He contemplated another escape...  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Before Jarid could get to the door, he was tackled down.
"You selfish b*****d." Kelly growled angrily in his ear. "If you broke your present, I'll kill you myself!!"  

[Zahzi]

"Then I DO hope it broke!"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"You're a jerk!" Kelly snapped before she punched Jarid in the back of his head, wiping her eyes afterwards.

"I went a lot of trouble just to get you it and you won't even at least ******** give it a chance!"  

[Zahzi]

"It's better if everyone just hates me, Kelly. That way, no one is sad when I finally do die."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Well could you at least celebrate with us..? Please?"  

[Zahzi]

Jarid stared at her for a long minute, before giving a defeated sigh.
"Fine...."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Thank you." Kelly sighed as well, getting off of Jarid and pulling him up with her.  

[Zahzi]

Jarid just continued to sigh, following without resistance.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Now pick up your damn present, sit on the couch, and wait for my Dad." Kelly growled as she took her seat on the couch.
