Two Brown Puffles and a Something in My Stocking

When Christmas morning finally arrives, who isn't excited? I know I am. 

This Christmas I got some of the things I really wanted, like a program for my computer called Stellarium, which is a star program, a book called Cloud's Legacy, which is about a wild stallion, a camera, and all sorts of other things. But I still didn't get a brown puffle, the one thing I really, REALLY wanted.

So, I ordered the cheapest one they had after Christmas. I was told it would arrive the 3rd or the 4th. A couple hours after ordering, my friend HR called to say that she had bought an identical one at Target for 7 bucks instead of 20. She also had a Christmas present for me. I was worried what it might be. An identical puffle to the one I had ordered.

Upon opening it, I found I was right, and would become the owner of twin brown puffles. Guess how thrilled I was. To add to this story, our rental on our P.O. Box hadn't been paid yet, so on the 3rd, yesterday, when it was open for the first time since, oh, about the 28th, we paid and checked the mail. He wasn't there, and I was heartbroken. "What am I gonna do, Geo?" I asked the brown puffle I had. I named him Geo for geometry.

Mom said that on our way to the park, where we would meet and play with Bertha and Mustang, we could check to see if he was there then, but I doubted it. Sighing and disappointed, we made our way home.

When it was time to leave, I tried not to hope to much. I knew he wouldn't be there, but I had to check. All but holding my breath as I unlocked the door... My eyes nearly bulged out of my head at the sight. All that was in the P.O Box was one package. To me. I let out a silent scream and raced back to the car and ripped the package open.  I was then and there qualified the Proud Owner of Twin Brown Puffles.
