Just as Lemon and Linnea saw the beautiful present, Linnea wondered who sent it. She asked Lemon, and Lemon looked at the nametag. It said something in Japanese.. 泉.

"Hey, I know this name!" Lemon smiled at Linnea. "If this is a name, it must be Izumi! But I don't remember anyone called Izumi.." Lemon started looking back at her own memories, when she got it. "maybe one of my old childhood friends, Izumi, sent this! Linnea, why don't you open the present?"

Linna opened the present, and it was a stunning paw-made straw box. The box had a lid with a silver handle, and inside it had a letter and a rock with an engraved message on it.

Lemon read the letter out loud. It was in English.

Dear Lemon,

It's been a while since I've seen you. So, I decided that I will be coming to your den very soon, probably at Clearbloom!

I'll give you my address when I arrive.
Izumi

Then, Linnea picked up the rock and read that too.

We are Lemon and Izumi, and even when I, Izumi, move, I and Lemon will always be friends.

And so, the mystery was solved; Izumi, Lemon's childhood friend, had sent a gift to inform Lemon of her arrival at the Thunderspell Nest.

Ianthe stared at the present. It was beautiful, with wrapping paper the color of sunsets, so vivid that she thought they must've taken a piece of the sky to wrap it. Golden ribbons shimmered all around it... but there was one thing missing.

A tag.

Well, there was a tag, with her name written on it in beautiful, swirling script, but nothing else. She turned over the sparkly paper with her claw, hoping there was something on the other side, but there was nothing except even more sparkly paper.

Ianthe was confused, but she brought it inside her hut and set it on the floor, next to her blueberry stack. Who could possibly have sent me this? she pondered. The kind associate, Aurora, of her den popped into her head, but then Ianthe remembered Aurora's TERRIBLE artistic abilities and decided that it definitely wasn't Aurora.

Doubt began to creep in. "Ianthe" was an uncommon name, but there were probably still others out there. What if there'd been a mistake? What if the sender had sent another spikie who'd messed up? But still, that was unlikely.

Another day passed with Ianthe still stressing. The New Year was approaching, and the present was still sitting there untouched. She didn't want to open it and intrude on someone else's stuff! So yet another day passed with Ianthe still drawn to the present, but she still ignored it.

When New Years came, Ianthe finally couldn't resist, after waiting for a week. She stepped towards it...

as it exploded, showering her with confetti.

After it cleared, she leaned in for a closer look, finding a card inside, which revealed that the sender had rigged the confetti, knowing Ianthe would probably refuse to open it. And there was only one spikie who could do that - Aurora. [300 words]

getting it under the limit was a STRUGGLE - just barely made it ahahhaa...
