It wasn't right.

Cain's brow furrowed in confusion as he walked into the sitting room DG and her sister shared. This wasn't a terribly uncommon occurrence when dealing with the sisters; DG in particular, but today Wyatt just plain didn't know how to react.

The room was decorated in gold and black from the crown molding to the baseboards, golden orbs floated near the ceiling giving off a soft glow that reminded Cain of a ballroom light by candlelight.

However, it wasn't the odd choice in decorating that threw Cain, it was the handful of minute, shimmering paper that DG threw at him as he entered the room. It was accompanied by an exclamation of "Happy New Year!"

Heaving a sigh, Cain moved further into the room,

"Deege, it's not years, it's ..."

DG interrupted with a shrill cry of "I KNOW Cain, I KNOW! I am sick and tired of everybody correcting me. I am fully aware that it is annuals here, but can you honestly say that 'Happy New Annual' rolls trippingly off your tongue"?

He paused to consider her words, having never given the words much thought. Now that he thought about it…

Glitch's brow furrowed in confusion as he entered the Princesses' sitting room, and was showered with confetti. Two cries of "Happy New Year!" reached his ears.

"Uh..guys, my brains may be scrambled but even I'm pretty sure the word you are looking for is..."

"We KNOW Glitch!"

This just popped into my head, as we begin the new year. Happy New Year and many Happy Annuals!
