{ tie it up in a pretty little bow }

1. 'Tis The Season!
→ It's some holiday or another, and you don't want to be the one who breaks tradition by not giving a gift.

2. Happy Birthday!
→ Another year older! Is it their sweet sixteenth? The no-holds-barred-finally-legal 21? Or that stately eighty candles that might set the cake on fire...

3. Sweet Valentine
→ Not that you need a commercialized excuse to butter up your sweetheart, but if the heart-decorated chocolate truffle fits...

4. Anniversary
→ You didn't forget ~~this year~~! But seeing as how it only comes once a year, you'd better make it fantastic ~~or you'll be sleeping on the couch... again :(~~

5. Wedding Bells
→ It's the bride and groom's happiest day and you want to give them something to commemorate this momentous occasion!

6. Housewarming
→ Those new neighbors of yours are still getting settled. Why not give them something to welcome them to the neighborhood?

7. What Bribery?
→ It never hurts to get on someone's good side, right? Especially if they could make your life miserable if they don't like you...

8. Get Well Soon!
→ Someone's stuck in the hospital and you just know that a gift will put a smile back on their face.

9. Going Away
→ They have to leave and you can't go with them, but you'll wait until they return. Give them something to remind them of you while they're far away.

10. I Miss You!
→ Has it been a week? A year? However long they've been away, you want them to know you're still thinking of them.

11. I'm So Sorry
→ You've screwed up big time and apologies just don't feel good enough, but you'll give them a token of your sincerity.

12. You're Appreciated!
→ There's just no one else like that person! You know everything they've done for you and others and you to show your appreciation.

13. Glorious Victory!
→ Hail the conquering hero! It doesn't matter if they've run a marathon or usurped a kingdom, this calls for mighty spoils!

14. Secret Admirer~
→ You haven't quite worked up the courage to give them something in person, and hopefully they don't recognize your handwriting...

15. Wildcard
→ Anything else, go crazy with it.

Are you giggling?

You must be hearing the guinea pig.

Uh huh. Nice save, Banner. Is there anything you want stocked up for when you get back? Before you say no ala Oliver Twist post-rapped knuckles, you're stuck in a room with only a rodent for company. You deserve a treat.

There's that one caterer that does real food packaged for the microwave? A few days worth of that would be good, because other than that, I want you to take care of all your public appearances and in-person signings over the next week and clear your schedule for a few days after that. Then I'll have what I want when I get home.

I can do that. The new PA is fun! She only cried once, it's kind of a record.

You aren't filling this one's head with stories about how easy it is to piss me off are you?

She trembles like a leaf. [ That answers that. ] Not like Pepper at all.

I wish you'd stop using me as the boogeyman.

It was a test. She passed, by the way, yay for her. I get the feeling I've hired Pepper-Lite, I could do whatever I wanted and she wouldn't be able to really put her foot down.

By passed you mean she didn't quit?

How does Pepper feel about the description of "Pepper-lite"?

She hasn't yet. Feels like I should throw her a real curveball to round her out.

... We don't tell Pepper about her nicknames, have you learned nothing?

If that curveball is my naked ass you'll be sleeping on the couch in the garage again.

And I thought you'd learned that Pepper and I have an arrangement with just enough transparency to maintain our mutual respect and friendship while dealing with you.

Bruce, you're meant to be on my side.

I am on your side, sometimes you aren't on your side.

That doesn't even make sense.

Yes it does. You sometimes do things that aren't in your best interests and even when you do, Pepper and I are both here for you.

[Well...]

As close to hear as circumstances allow at least.
