nervously taps her foot I appreciate it, MauveSerenity. I'm just... nervous, you know? It's been so long since I've heard her voice.

hastily hangs twinkling lights on the Christmas tree, mumbling to herself These lights are so beautiful! They remind me of the ones we used to put up at home... oh wait, I brought some of them with me! I should probably unpack those too.
excitedly nods Yes, please! That would be amazing, MauveSerenity. Your help would make this even more special.
we both start unpacking the decorations
As Cassidy and MauveSerenity unpack the Christmas decorations, they accidentally knock over a box, which falls and shatters on the floor, ruining their holiday decorations.
