INSERT TITLE: the route towards the right place

Everyone got a taste of my driving action today. And I'm glad I didn't blow it. People don't know that I get nervous when I drive. I guess it's because I'm still a novice driver. But I'll grow out of it. My driving instructor told me that it's normal to feel anxious by the way.

Kitsune-san looks like she's having fun. I knew I made the right choice of letting her come with us during the Christmas break. Our home's ordinary. Isn't she bored? Fortunately, mom and dad made the right call of having a get together bonding time today. Instead of dad, they wanted me to drive. I'm sure dad only insisted because he's lazy.

So off we went. The mall was first. I don't know why they'd go to the mall at this time. Aren't they tired from all the parties before? Still, it's boxing day. I bought myself a pair of new sneakers. And that's it. If only there was a boxing day for car accessories. There wasn't any in the mall. Why in the world not?!

After getting tired of walking around, me and dad said that we'd like to get a massage. And we left mom, Kana-chan and Kitsune-san. They called and said that they wanted to have a spa themselves. Good. Afterwards, Kana-chan wanted to go skating, but we changed our minds when we looked at the multitude of people in the skating rink. I guess we were all tired of being in a crowd. It can't be helped. The alternative turned out to be bowling, and surprisingly, there weren't much people in the bowling alley.

3 against 2, huh? Mom and Dad decided to team up. And they won.

I wouldn't expect that mom and dad wanted to go for karaoke next. We did. And until now, Kana-chan and I are wondering what just happened.

Finally, before going home, we settled for a buffet instead of an expensive dinner. Just the word expensive turned off everyone. We went to the buffet near my campus. I knew the roads like the back of my hand and it felt cool because it felt like I was the boss. Mom and dad wanted to be stubborn and put Kitsune-san on the spotlight. They interviewed her like some celebrity. They asked her about what she does. I thought they knew already what Kitsune-san does for a living. They were surprised when they heard that she writes novels.

When we came home, I had an idea. I'm a literature student, right? I might end up writing books in the future. So what if I got started early? I mean, it's going to be a new year and so I need to have some sort of target achievement. I've always wanted to write a romantic novel however cheesy it sounds.

INSERT TITLE: the after party?

Before I forget, Merry Christmas, everybody!

I'm so tired. I'm just happy that everything went as planned. The Christmas party was really crazy. Crazy fun. Crazy good. To be honest, I was very nervous, because we pushed through with the idea of bringing loveones along. The Hinata Sou filled up so fast. Shinobu-chan's mom and dad were there.

Shinobu-chan was really happy that they made it. I wasn't really sure how we'd accommodate Kaolla-chan's family as they're royalty. Fortunately, they were very nice. They even participated with the party games. Sara-chan and Seta-san were there, but they had to leave first, because Seta-san plans to bring Sara-chan with him to work. Sara-chan insisted, actually. Maybe it's because she knows what happens during the holiday season. Naru and her sister joined us. Her parents were on vacation themselves. Kentaro was in-charge with the fireworks, and it was awesome. Mutsumi-san stayed over, and we talked about a lot of things like what will happen next year. She's pretty excited. I wonder where Masayuki and Shirai went after the party; I'm pretty sure they had other parties to attend. Aunt Haruka left really early, but no one could beat her in the karaoke machine. As for me, I'm happy that the party was a success.

So it's Christmas eve. Guess where I am! Home! We planned to set the date for the Christmas party early, and so everyone can go home and retreat to their families during Christmas. We usually do it every Christmas season. Everyone in Hinata Sou goes home and goes back before New Year's.

"Hey, Keitaro! Join me until midnight! Come on!"

"Kitsune-san! I told you to knock before coming in--"

"Kitsune-san, this is oniisama's private place of refuge and--" And now Kanako's here. I want to relax!

"It's fine! It's fine! We'll just hang around in your Oniisama's room! Genius, huh?"

"Well... it is warm and cozy in Oniisama's room."
