Quote: You're out and about doing whatever it is you've got on your agenda for the day when you just so happen to spot a dark patch of color among the snow that lines the side of path you're on. Upon closer inspection, it's a leather wallet, stained from the dampness of the snow. Peeking inside, you find two things: one, a crumpled list of people's first names with random objects scribbled next to them and a collection of dollar bills. A lot of dollar bills. In fact, at first glance, it looks to be well over two hundred dollars. There are no other items in the wallet - no identification, no credit cards, nothing to help you identify the wallet's owner, just a shopping list and a wad of money. Looking around the area, it's clear that nobody else is around. What do you do? Cynthia was double-checking her list to make sure she knew what to get. She had to get a present for everyone in her family, her boyfriend, his brother and his brother's girlfriend... after all, she felt so close to them at this point! And they also said they would be exchanging gifts, and wanted to include her, so she knew that she didn't want to feel as though she was cheap! Luckily they all had a spending limit, so it wasn't too hard. And giftcards were told to be acceptable if she couldn't find anything. She was currently walking with her list out, looking over it, when suddenly a gust of wind blew it right out of her hand! It flew right into a patch of snow that had been piled up on the street, and she ran to get it! Sailor Hawk Dani can find the list and the wallet if you want!

Dani, resident 10-year-old with an alter-ego as a super hero was walking home from school. She was always on guard these days. As a Chibi Sailor, she was not supposed to fight without it being an extreme emergency. But she could still be on the lookout for evil, and warn those older than her. That's why she was alert to the fact that there was a piece of paper floating in the wind, that seemed like a piece of litter. Score, she could pick it up and throw away- Saving the Day Anyway. But when she got to it, it turned out to be much more important than that - it was a list of first names and random objects, someone's Christmas List -she had to return it. But then she looked down and saw something even more important- someone's wallet... She knew not to announce the wallet right away. "Um hello everyone in this vicinity;" She called in a loud voice, covering the wallet with snow with her foot. "Has anyone lost a Christmas List, recently?" [quote="SSBrosB]I figure once the list is claimed, Dani will say, "is the wallet also yours?"

Cynthia ran in the direction that she had seen the list float in, and eventually saw a little kid holding it and seemed to be looking for its owner. How nice! She ran up to the girl, giving the girl a wave. "Hey! That's my list! Thanks so much for grabbing it for me! It somehow got away!" She said as she walked the rest of the distance until they were within a comfortable space of each other. Cynthia held out her hand. "Thank you, I'm not sure what I would have done without it." She said, glad that someone saw it and didn't ignore or throw it away. It was a bit embarrassing that it flew out of her hand in the first place. She still had all of her shopping to do!

Dani grinned at the older girl that had come to claim the list. "Glad to be of service." The grin left her face as she grew very serious. Without uncovering the wallet she looked straight into the girl's eyes looking for truth. "Is the wallet also yours?" She asked quietly so only they could hear.

Cynthia happily grabbed the list and quickly stuffed it in her purse. Hopefully it wouldn't fly out of there! But when a wallet was mentioned, Cynthia shook her head. "Nope! I have my wallet right here with me!" She replied, then suddenly doubted herself. Did she have her wallet? She quickly looked through her purse before letting out a sigh when she found it at the bottom. It was still there, having managed to stay inside. "Yeah, definitely not my wallet. If you don't know who's it is though, then maybe you should turn it into a police station? There should be one somewhere around here..." Cynthia said, looking around. She thought she had seen one before at least.

Dani let out a sigh of relief, the girl not only had her own wallet but had told the truth. That solved two problems. Finally, she picked up the wallet. It was damp from the snow. She nodded, listening as the girl tried to figure out where the police station was. She opened the wallet to find an address, but her eyes wide when she saw what was inside. "No address, or anything, but........." There were wads, absolutely wads of money inside. Single bills mainly. Another Christmas list floated out. "By the Cauldron," whispered Dani, off guard, "There has to be $200 here." It was more money than Dani had seen in her young life.

Cynthia tried to hide a smile when she thought she heard the other girl whisper "By the Cauldron." Cynthia hadn't heard someone say that before. It was just surprising was all. "Well, whoever owns it will certainly want their money back." She sighed. "But really, how could they not have some form of I.D. in there? Or on it." She knew that wallets could be personalized. She quickly wondered if the I.D. must have been stolen, but it would have been weird to not steal the money too. "Do you need any help getting to the police station to turn it in?" Cynthia figured the girl was honest enough considering that she had given Cynthia her shopping list back.

Dani was brought back to reality by the girl’s words. Yes, surely the person should have put some form of id in it or personalized it; it would be really hard to find the owner now. As for the answer to the girl's question, would she need help getting to the police station? Well, she was a a Sailor Scout, so no; albeit a Chibi one. However, she couldn't tell the girl that, nor could she Sailor Scout up just to protect someone's Christmas, no matter how much she wanted to, sorry wallet owner. In this matter, she was just a ten-year-old girl carrying a wallet with $200 (a lot of money) to the police; like flies to honey, they might come, and she wouldn't be able to protect herself or the money. And this girl seemed honest. "Yes, please. My name is Dani, what can I call you?" It seemed like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. SSBrosB Complete: You 694, Me 505
