“Do Not Open Till The Stroke Of Noon” is what the strange package said as the snow leopard named Resine looked over this weird looking package that arrived on his doorstep that morning. “Who could have sent this? It doesn't have a return address and I never expected any package to arrive today... Hmm...” He looked at the clock and it said it was only 8:45am. “Why did it have to come so early too?” He yawns and stretches, “I'm missing out on my beauty sleep... I got to stop those all those late night raiding parties I've been doing lately. And why should I follow what this package says? I don't follow what some mystery package tells me to do...” He reaches down and picks up the small package, placing his ear to it in case he could hear anything that was inside and then gave it a shake. He could hear a soft rustling inside as though there was some sort of fabric contained within. Pouting and giving a little harrumph he tossed the package on the living room coffee table. “Maybe I'll catch a few winks of sleep while I wait.” He smacks his lips and slowly makes his way too his room, flopping down onto his bed when he gets there, and then pulling a blanket over himself and hitting the clock nearby to set it to go off in three hours. Closing his eyes he quickly fell asleep.
Time passed quickly for the young sneppid, in almost and instant three hours had gone by. With a loud ring the alarm clock started to blast it's noise into the feline's ear. “Nyaaahhh....” He pawed at the clock trying to shut it off until he just dragged it off of the table and it hit the floor, the sound still going off. “Ugh... darn alarm...” He said as he dragged himself out of bed and slowly made his way to the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea. As the tea simmered he looked out the window at the noon day sun and beautiful view he had from his apartment. “At least it's a nice day.” Soon enough the tea was done and he poured himself a nice big glass. Making his way out to the living room he sipped his tea and then his eyes fell on the package once more. “Oh... that's still here?” Looking at the clock once again it said 11:59am. “Well might as well open it. One minute can't hurt.” He sat down on the couch and picked up the unmarked package and began to rip open the side.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door which made the snowmew jump a bit. “Now who could that be?” Putting the package down he got up and walked to the front door and looked through the peep hole. There stood a very familiar black cat with a long, heavy jacket on that reached down to his ankles. His ears looked like they had been through the ringer as they have scars all over them. He adorned a red collar with a gold bell that was pleasing to the ear when it jingled. “Salem?...” The snow leopard blinked a few times as once again he was surprised to see something that he never expected that day to see. He unlocked the door and opened it to be met with the smiling feline. “Uh... wont you come in Salem? I never expected you today.” The black feline grinned, “You didn't try and open that package early now did you snowmew?” he said as he took a step into the apartment and walked past the sneppid. “You know you're suppose to follow the directions if a mysterious package tells you to follow them.” he looks back over his shoulder and snickers. Resine's eyes then go wide and he points his finger at the grinning feline, “It was you!! Why on earth did you send me this when you could have just given it too me in person?” Salem reaches down and picks up the package. “Well I had a few other things to do and I needed time to do it. Plus you always look good with your fur all ruffled like that when you get flustered.” he snickers as he hands the package to Resine. “Here you can open this now, it's past noon anyways.”
Resine reluctantly grabbed the package and flopped down onto the couch. “This better not be one of your tricks Salem...” He looks up to the feline as his finger start to tear into the small opening he made before. “Don't worry it's not a trick. Mind if I go make myself a cup of tea? I can smell and see you just made some recently.” The feline started to make his way as he said that. “Yeah go ahead and have some, there's plenty there.” said Resine as he tore away the brown paper and now held a cardboard box. He opened the box and what he laid his eyes on completely confounded him. “What the?.....” He said as he slowly started to bring out a beautiful blue yukata. “Saaaleeeem... What's thiiiiis...” He called out to the black feline. “Yes Resine? You need something?” The black cat came walking back into the room and what Resine saw just made his jaw drop. The black feline wasn't wearing his long jacket anymore. Instead he stood there in a red yukata with a huge grin on his face. “Oh well that's a yukata Resine. Haven't you ever seen one before? The snowmew blinked a few times and said, “Of course I know what a yukata is. What I'm wondering is why I have one in my hands and you have one on right now.” Salem walked over and sat on the couch, resting his hands behind his head and casually glancing over to the confused snow leopard. “Well why don't you look down at the bottom of the package. There might be something to explain everything that's happening right now.
Resine looked bewildered at Salem, but did as he was told. He just had to find out what the heck his black feline friend had in store for him. What he found was a small envelope and he quickly opened it. Inside was two plane tickets and a note which said,
“Dear Resine. By now you might have figured out what I have in store for you, but if you are still confused and I got that usual big smile on my face then let me tell you here to put your mind at ease. One year ago to this date you went out of your way and showed me kindness from out of nowhere. We had only just started talking and I hadn't even considered us good friends let alone great ones when out of the blue you shared with me your delicious Pocky. From then on I knew we were going to be awesome friends. To repay you for your kindness I invited you over for a night of gaming and junk food eating. I still have to get back at you for beating me at my favorite game. And just to one up me you took me on a cruise on your yacht around the Caribbean islands. Well I came up with a sneaky plan to get back at you. I asked you one day casually what places you would like to visit in the world and one of those places struck a cord with me. What you are holding in your hand right now is two tickets to Japan so we can see the sites and more importantly be there for the famous Cherry Blossom Festival. It has been one of my deepest wishes to go there during that time and more importantly to share it with a good friend. So what do ya say snowmew?”
Resine put down the note and looked at the tickets and yukata and then to the black feline sitting beside him, almost speechless for what Salem has just done. “Well? What do ya say Resine? Care to traverse the wide ocean for a few hours and travel to the far east with me? The plane leaves in about 5 hours. I'm sure we could share some Pocky along the way.” The black feline raised an eyebrow and grinned as he awaited an answer, knowing already fully well what the answer would be.This is a one year gift to one of my best friends, Resine. Just like the story says he gave me a pic with his character sharing some Pocky with mine. In return one up'd him and got a pic of us gaming and munching on salty snack foods. Then he got back at me by getting a pic of us enjoying fun in the sun in the Caribbean. Well of course I couldn't let him get a one up on me. So after a long time of waiting and bidding my time I decided to take him to Japan. Yeah!! What do you think about that Resine? Wonder how you will one up me on this one. >:3 I hope you enjoy the gift snowmew cause I sure had fun thinking this up and writing out this story. <3
