The best Christmas gift

"but mom!" the girl whined, "look how sad it is! Please, let me take it home!" The tiny minteon pressed its paw on the window. The girl was right. It was very sad. The mother looked at it thoughtfully. "We'll see" she answered, "maybe you will get one for christmas." the two walked home, leaving the poor minteon.
"Why?" Cinnamon thought, "why doesn't anyone like me?! They always walk right past me, and completely ignore me..." she lay down and began to cry. "I guess they don't realize how hard it is to find a minteon like me..."

Before she knew it, she was in a box. "That's odd..." she thought,"I don't REMEMBER falling asleep..." Cinnamon was tired, but that didn't stop her curiosity. She peeked out one of the holes in the box. The minteon couldn't believe what she saw. A christmas tree?! She was so happy, that she actually would have screamed if it weren't two in the morning. She knew that everyone would be waking up soon, so she curled up and fell asleep.

Sunlight poured into the box. Cinnamon woke up to see the girl she had seen the other day looking into the box with a huge smile. Cinnamon jumped out of the box and onto her lap. The two played together for what seemed like hours.
After a while, the minteon stopped and ran to the window. The girl followed. "what is it, Cinnamon?" Cinnamon looked up toward the sky. An aurora appeared in the sky. It seemed to weave in between the stars. "Cinnamon, did YOU make that?!" the girl was amazed. The little minteon nodded. "Minteon!" The pokemon fell, dazed onto the floor. The girl laughed and picked Cinnamon up. "It was nice of you to make that for me," she told her minteon,"But you really shouldn't have wasted your energy trying to say that you like me!" "Mint!" They both laughed. To the girl, Cinnamon was the best gift ever, but to Cinnamon, the girl was the best gift ever.
