It was just getting dark outside when a figure clad in dark robes came to the door that lead to the home of the Stuffed Bear and Phobia book children, Wynn and Deimos, and their Guardians, Reumiae and Jiang. After rummaging around in it's sleeves for a moment, it pulled out a cube; a tiny cube, no bigger than a dice. The figure placed the Cube just outside of the door; when the figure stepped away, the cube twisted and turned until it became a box. A blue box with orange and red ribbon was made out to Wynn and Reumiae, while a brown box with a black and red ribbon was made out to Deimos and Jiang.
The gift given, the robed figure rang the door bell, knocked on the door, or made enough noise to convince the inhabitants to investigate. Knowing that it's gift would somehow be found, it disappeared into thin air, leaving the gift behind.
(( Who finds the item? What do they do with it? Do they open it? Leave it there? Kick it away? RESPOND. ))

The nearest to the door at the time was Wynn, who slowly dragged himself over to it to see what it was about. He wasn't supposed to answer the door but his parents were also elsewhere in the house and his brother'd never go near it, so the pink boy undid the lock himself and poked his head out.
On the stoop were two boxes, and very interesting ones at that. They looked like presents! He'd seen them on TV! They were nice! Bending down, the tot picked up the boxes and carried them inside, pushing the door shut with his back.
He couldn't read the names on the tag, so instead he just carried them upstairs. "Mama Jiang!" he called, hoping the older male could read. He was a grownup right?

Jiang lifted his head from what he was doing, reading up on a book about flowers and how to grow them indoors. He gave a little smile at what he was reading, it didn't sound to terribly complicated he decided before he closed the book and rose to his feet, "What do you have there darling?" He asked, looking down at what he was carrying in his hands. Those weren't normal, were they? Definitely not something he'd seen around the house which had him wondering if it was something Reu had brought home.
He looked them over before he leaned in closer, "Hrm, where did you find those?" He asked, if they were from Reu he wondered if they were supposed to be a secret? He wasn't sure though.

Wynn smiled brightly, "On the front step, Mama." he said, holding them up. "Can you read the taggies?"

The rainbow kirin froze in place, eyes going a little bit wide as he explained where he'd found the packages. His tail started to lash behind him in a nervous manner before he checked the tags, "They have our names on them... all of our names." Wait, Reu's name was on it as well so surely it couldn't have been him that had gotten the gifts. On top of that he'd never have left them sitting on the front porch without informing anyone that he was doing so.
Jiang had to bite his lip to keep himself from shaking, not wanting to worry little Wynn, "Come on, lets go and find Daddy Reu and show him." He said, wanting for the bigger male to look the gifts over and see if they were dangerous or not.

Wynn followed along after Jiang, a big smile on his face. "So one's for meee?" the tot inquired, floating after his Mama and holding the big boxes. "I wanna open it."
Reumiae was in the kitchen, attempting to make dinner and trying to encourage Deimos to help him out and pass him things. "Come on Dei, you can do it." he told the child softly, smiling and holding out his hand. "Come on, just hand me the carrots."

"Perhaps, we need to make sure that its alright with Daddy Reu that we open them now. They might be for a special occasion." He explained, or they might be something dangerous that needed to be tossed out of the house at the soonest possible moment. They wouldn't know for certain before they went downstairs and had Reu inspect the items for them.
Deimos starred at the carrots for a long moment, looking more then a little uncertain, "B-But... they are orange." He whispered, orange was a color always associated with hot things. Fire, the sun, those things were hot so what if the carrots were hot and burned him? He gave a shiver, not to mention that carrots were in a pointy shape, what if it tried to stab him? He could cut his hand and burn it picking up the pointy, orange colored item... maybe if would be best if his Daddy did his part, "Ummm... I-I will p-pick up the next one." He said finally, scooting closer to Reu and farther from the dangerous vegetables.

Reumiae sighed and picked up the carrot. "Deimos, they aren't going to hurt you. THey're vegetables." he said takign his son's hand and placing the carrot lightly in it. "See?"
About that time, the door opened and Jiang and Wynn entered. "Daddy, daddy! We have presents! Are they for special? Can I open mine now?" the pink tot said with a huge smile.
Reu stared for a bit before looking at Jiang. "What?"

Deimos went for a moment invisible but that Reu already had hold of his hand to press the carrot into it made it so that he couldn't escape from the orange item even if he tried. He blinked a couple times and came back into view when he gave the carrot a squeeze, "Feels... cold and wet..." Wait a second, how could something that looked as though it were sharp and hot but cold and wet instead? Strange carrot! He looked at it accusingly, as though it were trying to trick him.
He lifted his gaze to look instead over toward his Mommy and twin, wondering what Wynn meant about special presents, "Huh?" He lifted his hands up to catch hold of Reu's leg and pulled himself around and behind him, glancing up at the boxes. Their could be anything in there! He didn't like surprises.
Jiang looked down at Wynn for a moment then up at Reu, ears twitching in a worried fashion before they laid back, his tail seemed to slump as well, "He said he found them on the porch." He whispered, "Do you know anything about them?"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh no...?" Reu said, looking confused, "I don't believe so?"
Wynn grinned happily, putting them down and tearing into one. That was a good enough answer for him!
"Wynn wait!" but he'd already opened it.

Too late! A little gray creature shot out of the box Wynn had opened, it's arms wide and the hypnodisk on it's chain jingling with sudden movement. "Hellohello! Iamheretoooaaaah! Notopenyet!Openplease?Openpleasenow?" It had noticed the other untouched box and seemed horrified, and in it's attempt to rescue it's partner, it passed right through Wynn's head and skidded to a halt in mid air in front of Deimos, it's giant eye pressed right up against the bridge of his nose. "Openopenopenopen!" It pleaded, holding pieces of the boy's hair and tugging lightly, but not enough to hurt.

Deimos gave a cry of surprise as something burst forth from the box as Wynn opened it. Of its own accord his body went invisible once more, as though he were trying to hide from... whatever that things was. He knew it! He just knew it would be bad things inside of the surprise boxes! It was going to attack them he realized as it lunged. As the small creature passed through Wynn's head Deimos's body seemed to freeze in place before it crumpled into a heap. A plus to the situation being that as he fainted his form came back into view once more.
Jiang rushed forward, "Deimos!" The kirin knelt down next to the boy, looking him over before he turned to look at the... thing that had startled his son, "You have to be careful." He told it, reaching down to gently shake the boy, trying to get him to wake up from his fainting spell.
"Un...? Wynn...?" He groaned, opening one bleary eye.

Wynn smiled big, "I'll help Mister Grey thingything!" he told it, rushing over to open the other package. Yay another present!

"UhohBoyfell!" It chattered worriedly, ignoring the command to be careful and instead trying to open the other box on it's own; something it seemed unable to do. The pink skinned boy seemed to want to help of course, and the moment the second one opened, obviously producing a second gray creature, the tiny things hugged each other tightly.
"ITHOUGHTILOSTYOU"
"YOUDIDN'TI'MRIGHTHEREBOYTHINGLETMEOUT!"
It was hard to tell which creature was talking since neither mouth moved. Both idiotic creatures, finished with their heartfelt reunion, turned to stare with their wide blue eyes. Four people in the room; lots of people! Shrieking happily the creatures started to ping and pong about, dancing and bouncing off of this and that; the creature from the second box (though identical to the creature from the first box), passed through the awakening Deimos.
Eventually the creatures stopped moving, one in front of Jiang and the other in front of Reumiae, holding out their hypnodisks and staring.
"Youaregettingsleepy." They said together in the same hypnotic, chittering voice. "YoubothneedtogotoBalcombeCuriousities." The disks swayed from side to side slowly. "AndbringChubbyandpinkiewithyou."
"Andfood." Only one of them suggested this one.

Reu stared at the hypnodisks. "Mmk." he mumbled. Since they were going out, turning off the stove would be smart.
Wynn smiled happily, "ooh ooh! I'll bring food!" he said, going into the cabinet to dig out his bag of marshmallows and his Papa's back of almonds. "Food!"
