An Unexpected Gift

At Home

Sophie: I can't believe that guy was so cheesy *fume* How embarrassing for a senior judge. *scoffs*

Penny: Welcome home!! I can't believe you made it here & so quick.

Sophie: *glares* How dare you don't come to pick me up?? You know the worst could have happened to me, although it happened *whispers*

Penny: You? & get in the worst?? Who would dare to do that? *laughs*

Sophie: Uh-Huh? A wolf could eat me or a spirit or alien could take me with them or a vampire could haunt me... *shivers*

Kyle: How childish! These things don't exist, even if they existed it'd be a shame to attack you. *smirks*

Sophie: WWHHAAATTT!!!! *rage* HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU OLD GEEZER!!!!

Kyle: Old what?

Sophie: *satisfied* Heh, I won. *leaves*

Kyle: What the-We didn't even started... *rolls his eyes*

Penny: *laughs* I'm gonna serve the food so come downstairs in 10 mins otherwise you'll miss it.

Kyle: Need a hand?

Penny: Nope, I would if you asked 2h ago.

Kyle: Here take this. *a gift*

Penny: *with big eyes* For what?

Kyle: Keep it in the table, you'll know. *leaves*

Penny: HEY! I made the food & no reward for me?

Kyle: *shouts* Should I ask Harry to bring you one?

Penny: EWW! Now it's confirmed it's not for me. *smirks*

After 30 mins

Sophie: *after bathing* Ahhh.... I feel so refreshed. What a tough day! *comes downstairs*

Penny: *glaring* I said to take 10 mins & you're coming down NOW??

Sophie: *jumps* Eeeee! You scared me...

Kyle: She's right though. *shows up*

Sophie: *double jump* Eeeeee!!! Are you two holding a grudge against me or what??

Penny: Mister, you're not less either. *double glare*

Kyle: He-he, sorry.

Sophie: BTW what's the occasion today?? Is there a festival or something.

Penny: I'm glad you asked after an eternity but all this is for you. Since it was your first day & you survived unexpectedly so we're celebrating for our doomsday. *evil smile*

Sophie: You're giving me goosebumps. Why are you scary today?

Kyle: Can we start eating? I'm famished.

Sophie: Yeah, hope it's not my last meal. *gulps*

Penny: Right, my new invention & you two are my rats. Muahahaha!

Kyle: Before you do something, you should be aware that I'm your senior. *confident*

Penny: You think you'll survive like that. *smirks*

Sophie: Ok-ok let's dig in. Enough with the horror series.

Penny: Please.

All of them are enjoying the meal, suddenly...

Sophie: Huh? *notices the gift* What's this?

Penny: It's for you. *while looking at Kyle*

Sophie: Really? Is first day this special?? I guess I'm having a lot of advantages.

Penny: Yup. You worked really hard right Kyle?

Kyle: *chokes up* I'm done. Thanks for the meal. *leaves*

Sophie: What a grumpy, Hmph.
