A Merry Sprinkle Christmas

“3...2...1... IT’S CHRISTMAS!”

Marinette squealed as the clocked that ticked away on the living room wall proudly displayed 12 o’ clock. There were sparkles in her eyes as she tried to decided which gift to open first while she scurried to the christmas tree from her place on the couch, making Tom and Sabine chuckle. It was always a Dupain-Cheng tradition to open a gift at midnight every christmas, and this year was no exception.

Their home had sprigs of mistletoe sprinkled (yes this is intentional :> ) around with the scent of fresh hot chocolate filling the air. Stocking hung along the pretend fireplace aka the window, custom made by one (1) aspiring fashion designer of course. The kitchen was filled with food, drinks and ingredients for the upcoming christmas party happening in less than 18 hours. (Marinette was shamelessly counting down.) The tree was the centre of attention though, bringing twinkles into the house- courtesy of the fairy lights wrapped around it. Ornaments, each unique with a story behind them, was carefully placed on some of the branches of the tree, the collection constantly growing. There was no star though, as they don’t see the need for one. Tom joked that Marinette was their star what with all the commissions she’d received from Jagged Stone and Clara Nightingale. (“Dad, no! I’m not a star!”) Marinette once tried to add sprinkles to it but they all just fell to the floor which formed a pile of sprinkles around the base of the tree that made her sad.

Marinette was a whole new level of Christmas. She was decked out in her oversized self-knitted sweater with hand-sewn sprinkles decorating it and a cat pun right in the middle. (Gummy Chat would be proud of the cat pun part) Her christmas hat was lined with fake fluffy fur and a big, fluffier pom pom at the tip, decorated with-surprise!- even more hand-sewn sprinkles. Warm fuzzy socks were on her feet, in christmas’ colours, made to look like elf shoes with again, sprinkles made of thread. Almost covered by her hat were mistletoe sprigs pinned to the hair ties that held her hair in pigtails, a huge contrast against her black hair. Tiny bells jingled away on her wrists and ankles, making sounds wherever the sprinkle-obsessed girl went.

“Hang on Marinette. We have some new ornaments to add to the tree this year,” Sabine called out to her daughter, effectively halting the jingly movements. Another tradition in the Dupain-Cheng household, putting up new ornaments if they have any new ones to introduce to their myriad of not-so-new ones. The petite woman pulled out a blob from a box on the table. How did I miss that? Marinette thought as she finally caught sight of the red cardboard cube.

“This,” she gestured to the animal shaped piece, “is to commemorate Paris’ heroes for all they’ve done for us. Sprinklebug and Gummy Chat may not know this but I think they deserve to be celebrated with our other memories on the tree considering their contributions and everything that happened this year with the akumas.” She then put it up on an empty spot on the tree. It was a black cat with a ladybug on its nose. Marinette tried to keep her tears hidden, surprised and touched at the same time. At least one of them knows, Mum.

“There’s a second one, but it’s one of your presents and it can wait till tomorrow if you choose to open another present first.”

Any thoughts of which present to pick went out the girl’s mind, scrambling to figure out which box it is in. Tom laughed at his daughter with fondness before locating it for her, booming with much more laughter as a mass of sprinkles launched for it. 5 seconds of paper tearing and a lid thrown aside later...

*Gasp* “SPRINKLES! A sprinkle shaker! I’ve looked forever for one of these and you’ve finally found one! THANKS MUM AND DAD!”

Operation: Prepare for Christmas Party was almost complete by the 1 hour left mark, so Sabine told Marinette to go and prepare all her gifts and get ready for the party using the remaining time. (She knows how serious that human takes these tasks.) Marinette already triple checked everything the day before and planned her outfit, so all she was left with was hair and makeup which only takes 15 minutes. This means that she was able to sneak out the skylight as her super-secret-alter-ego to meet up with her partner as scheduled. Tikki was interrupted from admiring her present from Marinette, a mini sprinkle-themed dress, but she didn’t mind. Gift in hand, Sprinklebug soared across her city before finding the cat themed hero lounging around on the Eiffel Tower, whistling a christmas tune. He opened an eye at the sound of her landing, a grin taking over his features.

“Merry christmas, sprinkle-boo!” Chat said as a greeting, Sprinklebug returning it in a sing-song voice and a hug. The feline boy kept his eyes on the item his lady brought with her, curiosity definitely triggered. This made Sprinklebug giggle and give in to his silent request, taking hers from the centre of the roof when her friend’s tail pointed in that direction. They opened their presents together, too eager to wait another moment of say another word.

“Omg it’s sprinkles shakers with fancy sprinkles! I’ve been meaning to paint on some for fun and this is perfect! But... isn’t this an expensive brand? Chat-“

“Nuh-uh, no can do madame. I insist and you can’t say no. Also you gave me like 3 different things I should’ve gotten you more!”

They went back and forth for a bit before they burst into giggles, ending whatever “argument” they had. Chat then asked about the ornament that she had given him.

“Ornaments are sort of my family tradition, so i thought I’d make you one. Cat’s and gummy worms and a small pun too. It’s one of a kind.”

Tears swarmed in Chat’s eyes, threatening to fall. He needs to hurry home soon so that he can cry and swoon in pure bliss. He picked up golden thread when pushing away his hat so that he won’t accidentally get it wet. Inspecting it, his saw the name of his princess. Sprinklebug cursed herself mentally for not setting aside of her habit of signing articles of fashion with golden thread.

“Oh, that. I couldn’t knit myself so I commissioned Marinette to create this hat. I’m sure you’re familiar? But please don’t go asking her who I am as I did it via super suit. And before I forget, inside the bag with gummy worms is plagg’s cheese and tiny hat. Wish him merry christmas for me please.” My, what a mouthful you idiot!

“Ah, okay. Please do that same for me with Tikki. And thanks for reminding me, give her one of the shakers. It’s indicated with a little tag.”

They did a little more talking, ultimately bringing the topic back to how Sprinklebug gave Gummy Chat way more things which were also cooler and that he should have gotten more to balance it out.

“It’s really alright, minou. Seeing you smile and enjoying your present is way bigger than all the presents I gave you combined.” A warm smile was directed at Chat.

“Awwww is m’lady finally falling for my smile?” He was being a jokester and he knew it.

“You wish.”

They then parted ways at half past 5, Sprinklebug to prepare for a party and Gummy Chat to soon head over to said party. Not that either of them knew.

Sidenote: Adrien did cry and swoon in bliss for about 20 minutes once home though. Plagg just munched on the edible part of his present and asking him to stop producing “eye-pee” and check for everything before heading to pigtails’ party already.

BLONDE AND BUBBLY: 01.28

in this episode: i talk about travelling with two special guests! 

madi: hey babies! i’m madison ware and welcome to blonde and bubbly! we are back after a long break and in air for the first time of the year! we wish you nothing but success and good health. so today we have a special episode for you guys with two amazing guests! but before i tell you who, i’m going to present to you guys the champagne we’re going to be drinking! today’s bottle is a very fancy one, to celebrate the new year and it is an Engraved Krug Brut David Sugar! I cant wait to taste it with our two amazing guests: Kana and Kazi!

madi: whether it is for work or for their personal choices, these two amazing guests like to travel a lot. so we will be asking them a few questions about it. we’ll start with kana, the member of the popular kpop gorup EXO! Good evening kana! Welcome on the fourth episode of blonde and bubbly, we’re so happy to have you! 

kana: How are you feeling? Whuss good Madz. I’m very honoured to be here. Caught all your previous episodes so I’m feeling very good about being a guest and being here right now. Fourth episodes a charm. 

madi: so as you know, today we're going to talk about traveling! It's a subject i love because we feel like everyone can gain a lot by getting out of their city and discover their country or the wolrd. So you travel a lot right? Where have you been so far? Is it for work or for fun? 

kana: traveling is always a good idea for work and play. and especially for opening your mind you’re right. staying home is no way to live if you have the means to go beyond. yes indeed i have travelled quiet a bit. i like to think it’s been a good mix of both reasons. i’ve travelled most of asia. so South Korea, Thailand, China, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Dubai. Most of those have been for work. Then for fun and some work I’ve been to a lot of major cities all over the U.S. I’ve been to Mexico, Italy, Greece, Hawaii, Canada, Paris in France, Australia, Amsterdam, London, Edinburgh, Manchester, the Maldives, and home to Ireland. so, very well travelled. I do think I mostly end up traveling for work purposes but I’m trying to make this year the year I expand it more for fun. 

madi: this is so interesting! do you have any exciting story to share about a place you've visited once? 

kana: well actually just yesterday i arrived back from dubai where one of our songs was played and given a whole show at the dubai fountain which was a pretty amazing honour and reason to visit there. having something you’ve worked on being played at the biggest choreographed fountains in the world and especially being given a ceremony for it was pretty amazing. i think dubai is one of my favourite places and this has been my second time back there in the space of twelve months. the last time being the trip with the rest of the hills cast way back when. definitely a great experince both times but this one was super special. 

madi: where is your favorite traveling location?

kana: my favourite location is hawaii. now i think i’m partially biased in my reasoning only because my older sister lives there on oahu so any time i go there i get to spend quality time with my niece. but even if she didn’t, i’d still pick hawaii because lost used to be my favourite tv show and it was filmed on the islands and i ADORE forests and anywhere with trees of all kinds so getting to really just get lost on the islands is my favourite thing because i am very much a keep to myself person 99% of the time and hawaii allows me to just get out there on my own.

madi: what about the worst place you've seen?

kana:  worst place i’ve been ? probably either china or the u.k. its split. china only because everything is so fast paced and clustered and its a lot to take in at once. don’t get me wrong i love the country as a whole and i’m moderately fluent in mandarin it’s just too much. as for the u.k it’s like home. ireland is only barely an hour across the water from it and it’s just pretty similar except ten times worse. i tend to avoid it to be honest. 

madi: do you own a jet?

kana: yes indeed i do. i have my own baby which takes me all over the globe. i only ever fly commercial if it’s work related. or if i’m flying home. but always premium first class. has to be done.

madi: any tips for anyone who would like to start traveling and exploring the world?

kana:  I think...... uh... personally i’ve been fortunate to have the means to be able to travel this much. but for anyone who doesn’t really have that opportunity i think saving is a big thing. save up and kind of map your trips as best you can so you don’t get stuck. if it’s your first time heading off i would generally advise not going alone because you’ll be so new to everything on that first off trip. apart from that all i can really say is just don’t be afraid to go for it but do make sure to always always be respectful. if you are traveling, especially on a continent that isn’t the one you’re from, be respectful of other people’s culture and their traditions and what they deem acceptable social behavior and activities. learn about the world and it’s different walks of people as you travel. if you’re just going to make fun of a new place or act the absolute twat in a different country, just stay at home.

madi: thank you so much kana for coming! What can we expect from you for 2018? Any projects you'd like to talk about?

kana: thank you for having me. it’s been a pleasure. in the rest of 2018 i think you’ll see a bunch of different activities from me within exo, as per usual. we have a few tour dates over the next few months as well as a japanese comeback so i hope you’ll anticipate those. as for me and my solo endeavors who knows. i do make my debut as an actor at some point in the next few months and who knows you just might see published author kana oh this year too. but that’s all relatively hush hush for right now. 

madi: thank you again for coming, this all sounds very exciting and promising. our next guest is kazi the part owner of smk, fazed vodka, and the hottest indian pakistani restaurant in la, Aaftab chaand. hey kazi! Welcome on the fourth episode of blonde and bubbly, we’re thrilled to have you! How are you feeling? 

kazi: i’m feeling good!! so excited to be on blonde and bubbly this is a dream come true for me i’m the show’s BIGGEST fan 

madi:  so as you know, today we're going to talk about traveling! It's a subject i love because i feel like everyone can gain a lot by getting out of their city and discover their country or the wolrd. So you travel a lot right? Where have you been so far? Is it for work or for fun? 

kazi: truthfully i couldn’t even tell you all the places i’ve been in total there’s just too many.. but in the past like 2 years? i’ve been to monaco, london, dublin, paris, st barts, dubai, nyc, miami, chicago, toronto, cabo, fiji, iceland, guam, san fran.. i’m positive i’m missing a few, i feel like i’m on a plane at least once a month. 75% of the time it’s technically just for pleasure but i mean even when i’m traveling for work it’s fun to me. 

madi: do you have any interesting story to share about a place you've visited once? 

kazi: one time me and fitz got arrested in monaco for being drunk and not listening to a police officer, that was pretty funny.. gia bailed us out of jail that night, thanks gia! 

madi: where is your favorite traveling location? 

kazi: i have a love hate relationship with dubai but i think it’s my favorite. or fiji, when me and mia spent a week there for our honey moon it was really amazing. 

madi:  what about the worst place you've seen?

 kazi: uhhh..i don’t know. i think i’ve liked all the places i’ve been. 

 madi:  do you own a jet? 

 kazi: i don’t, however me and mia just decided the other day we’re gonna get one so it’s easy to travel with the whole family. so soon i will! 

madi:  any tips for anyone who would like to start traveling and exploring the world? 

kazi: i’d say before you go somewhere do some research and figure out some cool things to do there.. like you can go skiing at an indoor ski place in dubai, or go to a geothermal spa in iceland, just gotta look it up and find the fun stuff to do. 

madi:  and we’re at the end of the interview! thank you so much kazi for coming! What can your fans expect from you for 2018? Any projects you'd like to talk about? 

kazi:  my biggest project is having a baby with mia, my family is what’s most important to me. smk will be expanding to nyc soon, i’m dropping an ep very soon and single coming even sooner. fazed vodka will be in stores everywhere feb 1st watch out for that, and i have a few other little things in the mix that aren’t ready to be revealed. thanks for having me on the show! 

madi: thanks to you kazi! okay guys, thank you so much for listening or reading this episode of blonde and bubbly. hopefully it will be the first of many this year! i would like to specially thank my two guests, Kazi and Kana! and also Sabine who isnt with us today and also mia bashir who completely redid our tumblr theme, thank you very much i absolutely LOVE it!  my name is madison ware and im blonde and definitely had way too much bubbly so it’s time to say good bye and see you next time!
