Story Two: The Best Gift Givers Around!


The night is quiet, and the only thing that is concerning Quickster is getting some well-deserved shut-eye. 

Spending a week studying for final exams before his Holiday break will do that.

This moment of peace and quiet, though, was quickly battered by none other than Serenity barging into Quickster's dorm room.

"QUICKS, WE GOT AN EMERGENCY!!!" Serenity exclaimed.

"Serenity...what is it? And how are you not tired we've been studying all of last week." Quickster grogily asked.

"DUDE, WE FORGOT TO GET EVERYONE THEIR PRESENTS!!!" Serenity alerted.

Quickster was immediately woken up, with all of the color draining from his face.

"What are we gonna do? We especially need to get the right gift for Harmony, this is her first Lunar Snowfall here, WE HAVE TO MAKE IT ONE TO REMEMBER QUICKS!!!" Serenity panicked as she aggressively shook Quickster around.

Despite the shaking, Quickster was deep in thought, wondering what the two could do, even though he was starting to feel nauseous from the shaking.

"Okay, where is everyone?" Quickster asked, while still being shaken about"

"Harmony and Myssi are walking through the town while Edric and Marylyn are getting hot cocoa at Agatha's tavern!" Serenity dumped.

"Meaning we have time! There is something I have that could be of use to us! To my storage unit!" Quickster commanded.

The two make their way to that exact place, with Serenity still holding onto Quickster like a plushie.

As they enter, alongside all the loose gym equipment, empty energy drinks, and cheesy motivational posters scattered about, Serenity notices a box in the corner labeled "In case of emergency"

Serenity places down Quickster as he gestures her to take a look with a smug look on his face. Serenity is hesitant but looks anyway. 

It's...a bunch of bargain bin games?

"...What is this?" Serenity asked.

"Not only are these games I got for real cheap, but I have just the thing to give them the kick they need!" Quickster excitingly explained.

Quickster then reveals he has a scroll containing a magical command that can modify the games to cater to their friend's likes!
It specified having a 99% chance of working, but they’ll take their chances.

"Quicks..." Serenity solemnly says.

"Yea?" Quickster happily says.

Serenity then daps up Quickster.

"You're a genius." Serenity confidently says.

The two then get hard at work tinkering each game with this magic to the best of their ability to where their friends will probably love it.

"You know what they say Serenity, the best gifts come from the heart and good ol labor!" Quickster proclaims sitting atop a gift with games stacked inside.

"Amen pal, amen!" Serenity happily yells holding both Quickster and the big gift.
