At some point, you notice a present nestled somewhere in your house that you've never seen before. Maybe it's somewhere obvious, maybe it's sitting on a window sill or hidden in the back of your closet. It's decorated very festively, with a cursive script letting you know that the present's owner is none other than yourself but there's no sender listed on the tag. Who in the world could have put it there?

Opening the present reveals an item that you've sorely wanted for some time now but haven't been able to afford or haven't allowed yourself the pleasure of buying. The trouble is that you've never told a soul about wanting it.

Who could have known? And how did it get there?


The Holidays were always sort of a lonely time for Lulu, less so since awakening as a Senshi, but more so because it gave her even less time to spend with her brother or father. This time of year she was always reminded of her mother as well, which made her think all the more about how non of them were her real family. In her whole life she had lost two families, it didn't really seem fair. This time of year she kept herself distracted with baking.Baking and scouting. Today she was baking though, one of her favored hobbies. It was simply too chilly in the air to be outside. This holiday season was filled with snow.

Today she was working on a somewhat elaborate gingerbread village. It wasn't too big, but she had started out with one simple home and decided she had enough stuff left over (plenty really) to make a lot more. She was currently working on a little windmill structure, trying to figure out how to hold the blades in place and see if she could get creative enough to make it spin. Maybe she had watched too many baking contests lately. She was trying to find another mixing bowl when she opened up a cabinet and inside was a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift.

"How did you get there?" She laughed to herself at first, thinking maybe she had enjoyed too much eggnog while wrapping up presents. When she pulled it out and set it down on the counter though, that was when she realized it was wrapped up in a different wrapping paper then she had used. It didn't match any of the present under her own tree. More puzzled then ever she flipped the tag over to see who it was for, only her name was on it, but no one claimed to have given it to her.

Not many people came into her apartment. Though she loved being a home body, she tended to go out to hang out, not invite people in. There might have been a few people in and out, but it would have been incredibly hard to sneak a gift of this size inside without her noticing it or something seeming out of place. Maybe they left it outside and she stepped into another room and they placed it without her noticing?

Maybe she'd find a clue if she opened it up. As skeptical as she was over it, she decided to just roll with it. Carefully untying the bow at the top and digging into the paper. A smile lit across her face when she immediately saw the picture on the side of the box. It was a new mixer. She had seen on in the store a few days ago, but told herself she already had one (even though it was ancient) and didn't need a new one. The thing that was so special about this one was that it had cute little snow bunnies across it in design. It was no secret that she loved anything with rabbit or bunnies or really cute animals in general.

She had been alone in the store when she saw it though and there hadn't been anyone else she had talked to it about. She had picked it up in the store for just a brief moment before putting it back down. Had someone seen her? Honestly it gave her the chills a bit to think someone had been watching her while shopping, so she set it aside for now. Maybe she could make a few calls and figure out who the sender was. As much as she loved the gift, it did freak her out a bit that it just appeared out of thin air in her apartment.
