Chapter Text
-A day later-
Junko woke up and turned to her left. Instead of seeing her girlfriend, she was gone. To stop herself from worrying about her perfect Christmas with Wakami potentially going astray, she stood up and walked towards her window. The purple haired girl moved the curtains to the side, revealing that it was still snowing outside.
“Well, she probably didn’t go outside. Why did Wakami get up before me?” She asked herself as she got dressed. “It’s no use pondering a question that I won’t get an answer to soon. I’ll just ask her when I see her.”
Junko approached her door, opened it, and then quickly walked downstairs. Sitting in her living room was Rei, who was leaning against the couch. She was about to fall asleep when her friend spoke to her.
“Rei? What’re you doing here? Why’s it oddly quiet?”
The lilac haired girl didn’t respond. Instead, she attempted to go back to sleep.
“Come on! Answer me! Where are mom and Wakami?”
“Oh, them. They went out. Apparently your mother needed to get some groceries, and that friend of ours wanted to help her.”
“They went shopping in this weather? What the hell was she thinking? It’s Christmas Eve, and the weather’s horrible out there! She should’ve just ordered some breakfast for us!”
“Yeah, I don’t really get why she did this. I don’t even think she’s going to throw a Christmas party later. She just went shopping with your girlfriend for the thrill of it.” Rei yawned before standing up. “I’m so bored. Watching TV isn’t an option since the only things on air are reruns of old Christmas specials, and there’s nothing to do around here. Wanna go somewhere with me?”
“Sure, but where to? It can’t be very far or we’ll freeze out there.”
“I’m not sure, but I want to get away for a few hours, at the very least.”
She quickly transformed before summoning an umbrella Stick and handing it to her friend. Junko felt oddly warm underneath it.
“I don’t know how long Naoko and Wakami are going to be away for. Let’s try to do something to entertain ourselves in the meantime.”
