Tangled: (3) New Year Tied Together
30.12.23
Sunset at the beach close to Flynnie's House
Flynnie and Pete huddle together as they watch the sunset.
Pete
Can I ask you a question ❓
Pete
Did you realize tomorrow is the last day of the year?
Flynnie
Yes Pete ✔️✔️✔️
I did realize that...
Pete
*Excited 😄*
It's our first New Year together!!!
Flynnie
I also realize that!! ✔️✔️✔️
Pete
*Tangling his fingers into Flynnie's like he does when he is excited*
Can we do something together to celebrate? 🥳🥳🥳
Flynnie
What do you have in mind?
Pete
Nothing yet -
I'm asking you for your ideas???
Flynnie
What has been your favorite memory this year?
Pete
I have so many favourite memories from this year.
I do have one favourite moment that I like more than all the others.
The moment I recognised it was you in my apartment and not a random person Elsa dragged in...
That is my most favourite moment from the last 10 years...
Everything since then feels like I am living in a dream
So, my favourite moment was you coming to me.
Flynnie
My favourite moment was you saying we should let the past be past and focus on staying together in the present... It allowed me to let go of things that had hurt and to hold on to us now because that's what's important to us.
Flynnie
.... And now I get to hold your hand almost every day which is brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Pete
What should we do in our present moment to celebrate the New Year?🎉
Flynnie
I've been pondering about this since before Christmas.....
I want to do something special with you, but I wanted to check if you had any brilliant ideas first?
Flynnie
And I also wasn't sure if you are working because your work calendar is showing about 6 events for the weekend and at least 2 high lighted ones for on the 1.1.24????
Pete
You've been so curious you even checked my work calendar?
Flynnie
Last time you borrowed my computer you accidentally left my computer on your work calendar page.
So, the next time I used my computer I accidentally saw your work calendar.
Pete
I'm only on call though...
I only need to go in if they have trouble...
We can still do something...
Flynnie
That can possibly be interrupted at any moment...
So we can't go too far....
Pete
So we can plan to go on a date together???
Pete
.... As long as you promise you won't get upset if I get called away for work....
Flynnie
Let's think some more 🤔🤔🤔
Pete
Ok - but tomorrow is the day we are doing something so we are running low on thinking time....
30.12.23 cont
Later that day as they were walking home from the beach...
Flynnie
Pete??.
Has your exquisite beautiful self with your brilliant brain come up with any ideas for New Years?
Pete
*Watching Flynnie and feeling excited because he's being praised by him*
At the sports meet this morning I asked all the running kids if they knew of any NYE Events this year.
They mentioned lots but most of them focused on drinking and finding themselves a girlfriend...
I can't drink if I'm on call ...
And I already have the most perfect partner for myself, so I'm not too keen on any of their suggestions 😕
Flynnie
I asked Tara and Jack this morning too...
Jack said the company has a major event and thought you'd be working...
Tara thinks Mum wants to do something with us tomorrow because Dad is working and she doesn't want to spend it alone.😔
She also mentioned that your Mum is going to be at Elsa's house because Elsa begged her to come so she isn't alone.
Pete
Are you trying to lead my thinking so that I can be persuaded by your ideals?
You sound like you are about to suggest something you think I won't like ...
Do you have an idea forming Flynnie?
Flynnie
Our Mum's get along really well...
Let's put them together for New Year's.
Pete
I think that's an excellent idea 😃
Flynnie
Being the end of the year -
I was reflecting on what has already happened and it's been a really happy busy year for me because I've spent so much of it with you.
Besides wanting to thank you for keeping me close and celebrating starting a New Tradition of Spending New Year with you.
The thing that I keep thinking about is how much everyone from our families has supported us.
Since meeting your family and introducing myself - there hasn't been one moment when I haven't felt included in your family.
I know you feel the same about Tara and My Mum and Dad because you spend more time with them than I do.
I'd really like to take the opportunity to thank them all from us.
Pete
*Grinning mischievously as he Teases Flynnie a little*
Now you've pointed my attention to it...
I agree completely...
Flynnie
I knew you would think so too.
Flynnie
I think our Mum's would prefer to actually meet up in person...
If your Mum is at Elsa's that means they can do that...
Pete
We should suggest Elsa and Tara visit your Mum and we could send them a hamper, flowers and a card each ...
Flynnie
A gift and a card is good and all but it's not quite the same as thanking them in person....
Don't you think?
Pete
Of course we should also call them and thank them ..
It's New Year's....
Flynnie
I know how brilliant you are..
Flynnie
You are definitely understanding my intention
Pete
*begging softly*
Please don't make me spend it with Elsa and Matty 😔
Flynnie
Let's keep thinking a bit more ...
30.12.23 - Evening
Back at Flynnie's House
After Dinner...
Between selecting different things to watch on tv .......
Pete
Flynnie Bot - I'd like to organize 2 hampers and flowers with cards to get delivered to Flynnie's mum's house tomorrow.
Can you search if I still can; or if it's too late....
If there are still lots of ways can you please show me the options....
Flynnie
It might be a bit late Pete.
We might have to shop ourselves tomorrow.
Flynnie
Should we just make our own cards tonight and think what we'll get everyone in the hampers. Then we'll go shopping tomorrow?
Pete
Maybe....
Suggest items for the hampers and let Flynnie Bot search for where we can shop for it tomorrow.
We'll spend less time at shops that don't have what we want.
Pete
What do you want on the card?
A photo of us?
We have the photo we took at the Halloween event that has everyone in it.
Should we use that one?
Pete
Are we making one card and giving the same card to everyone...
Or
Do you want each person to have their own individualised card?
Flynnie
I don't mind...
It'd be easier to give everyone the same card but it'd be nicer to personalise it with their own message....
Pete
I'll make everyone the same card but leave a spot where you can write your own message to each person.
Does that sound fair?
Flynnie
Are you going to help me write them?
Pete
I'm making you the card.
So, I think it's fair if you are the person who thinks a written msg is nicer then you should take responsibility for it.
Flynnie
I see your point...
Can I do it tomorrow?
Pete
You will have to because I haven't made the card yet....
Pete
... Unless you want to make the card and I'll write the msgs or we can do all of it together but that will probably take us longer....
Flynnie
You're the best at making stuff...
Pete
That's not true...
The couple charms you made us are Perfect.
And the memory books you make yourself are Amazing 😻
I trust that whatever you create will be sincere and from your heart and that counts more than making the best card.
Flynnie
Not only are you adorable...
You are considerate and wise too.
That's why you've evolved into My Angel instead of My Air-Head.
I'm so excited that I'm going to be sharing a New Year with you...
Pete
I'm excited too Flynnie....
That's why we should do something together (just the two of us) on New Years Day.
Flynnie
But it's a good chance to thank everyone together because they aren't working.
Pete
Are you hoping to talk me into dropping off the hampers ourselves?
Flynnie
I think it would be nice if we did.
Pete
You know my family stresses me out....
Why are you making me have to see them????
Flynnie
It's only one evening.
We haven't seen Elsa for ages....
Pete
We saw her this morning....
Flynnie
Oh right...
We did too...
I forgot about that..
Pete
I don't want to argue...
Let's agree to wanting different things right now....
We can both think a bit more....
Pete
What about New Year's Day...
It'll be the first New Year's Day we spend together.
Flynnie
As long as I wake up next to you....
I don't mind what we do...
Pete
I'll agree to tomorrow with family on the condition that New Years Day is just us....
At some point on Monday I will need to go home to my apartment.
