Secret Sibling Deliveries

To Room 232, for Jessica Tate:



Little Sister,

I couldn't find a real Magnolia plant that was small enough for you to have in your dorm room, but I did find one made of silk. I scented it with some Manolia-scented oil, which is included in the little pouch on the side of the pot.

Sometimes, it's nice having a little something that reminds us of home.

Love,
Your Secret Sib

To Room 219, for Cordelia Chase:



Hope you have a sweet tooth!
-Your Secret Sibling

Jessica accepts the delivery from Kiki. "Uh, how lovely!" she says, burying her nose in the arrangement and closing her eyes. She then reads the note and smiles big. "It most certainly is," she whispers, then looks back at Kiki. "Thank you so very much. You wouldn't happen to...to know who its from, would you? Its just that I would love to be able to thank whoever sent. Its just so thoughtful."

Kiki grins widely. "That's the point of a Secret Sibling," she says, "you're not supposed to know. If you get more, they may contain more clues to help you figure it out, though."

Jessica's eyes open wide. "More?!...I can't accept more gifts. No no. You see, if the roles were reversed it would be fine, as I would be the one giving the gifts. But to get gifts from a kind stranger, and even more, not be able to thank them...its too much to bear." Jessica shakes her head, concerned.

"But there's the trick - you put all the clues together, and figure out from the gifts who the person giving you gifts is, and then at last you can thank them. Or buy them coffee or an ice cream." Kiki's voice drops conspiratorially, and she winks. "And I do happen to know that you'll be getting more. The best you can do is just accept that you've got a caring Secret Sibling and just take what they give you - because what on earth would I do if you refused delivery and I had to take stuff back? They'd be pretty hurt, I guess."

"Oh dear...oh my. Well I wouldn't want anyone to be hurt. So...I guess you're right. Well, thanks Kiki, it was a pleasure seeing you." Jessica smiles, gives a big wave, and goes back into her room. She places the arrangement on her desk, looks at it for just one more moment, and smiles.
