Who: Calvin, Ciri, Tad When: 7Pm Where: The new Kelley apartment What: Calvin has a gift to give Tad
In light of moving, and the holidays approaching, Calvin was not only in a fantastically cheery mood, but he was feeling amazingly generous. Earlier that morning a moving van had rolled up to the school and Calvin had told the men with the large box filled with wooden panels that he had help and would be fine getting the object up the stairs. They left and Calvin lifted the item by himself, steadying it with his hands as his telekinesis carried the box up the stairs to the apartment. While both Ciri and Tad had been out of the apartment, Calvin had worked as quickly as he could on his lunch break. When he'd run out of time and had to resume work he locked the door to Tad's new bedroom behind him. A note was left reading, "Surprise inside! Do not open!" so Tad would not get too terribly angry.
After work he returned to the apartment to greet his wonderful wife with kisses, and a warm hair shake. "How was your day?" he asked of them while putting dinner together. "Do anything exciting today? I learned that, apparently, cherry bombs can blow up in a toilet. But my day was boring as all get out. Please, please, please tell me you two did something fun!" Smiling, he sat on the kitchen counter while waiting for the meal to cook on up. After he served the two he'd be returning to work in the bedroom. He really hoped Tad would enjoy his early Christmas gift.
"Ah! Ciri, before I forget. I was thinking this weekend we could all decorate the Christmas tree? I got a fake one at the store so we don't have a mess when we're done." And so they didn't have to cut down a perfectly wonderful tree for the sake of a holiday.
