W.W.C - Family/friend pictures
A little drabble about getting pictures taken - and picture incidents.
Bernice sat on a stool in the middle of the set, surrounded by her family, ready for the annual family Christmas photo. Her dad always books as early as possible in December, very early in the summer, to make sure they get an optimal time for the family picture to be taken.
However, every year is the same - the rush, hustle and bustle, to get every kid out of bed, get every kid into the car, get to the studio before traffic, and it always fails. Its not as though they didn't have time - after all, they used a private photographer for the shoot, an eccentric Hyena guy, who had a knack for capturing perfect pictures (although word had gotten around about him, so he was always getting busier every year).
In the all the chaos, Bernice could only think one thing - you could've stayed at uni in the apartment.
However, that wasn't the Christmas spirit.
"Okay guys, say cheese," the Hyena photographer announced, signalling the rabbit family to spread the mouths wide into sickly-sweet grins.
And of course, the photo came out perfectly.
If only photos came out this easily for other people.

Sam and Ryan were more than prepared for the holiday season - they took photos to send home to family, as the canine duo had to stay on campus to complete all there coursework. They had sent out there specially made cards, with a photo of the pair hugging and wrestling on the front, all the cheesy, sugar-coated sentiment piled on extra-hard for the holidays.
"When do you think the cards we'll get there?" asked Ryan, pulling off his winter hat and scarf as he entered the apartment.
"I don't know' replied Sam, "I mean, post must get pretty busy over the holiday season."
"Probably" agreed the Dalmatian, shrugging off his curiosity. The big wolf boy decided it would be best to go straight to his desk, and noticed a yellow note attached to a draw. He looked at the note, which read "crimbo surprise 4 u". He opened the draw to find a Polaroid picture of his roommate in the draw, posing in a suggestive manner, winking with a note that says Happy Holidays.
Being in a particularly playful mood today, he decided to freak Ryan out.
"Uh, Ryan?" he called out, putting the photo in his back pocket.
"Yeah what's up?" called back Ryan.
"Uh, what's this note on my draw about? Cos I just opened it, and I can't find anything in there?" As though by instinct, the Dalmatian turned his head in surprise, mild panic in his eyes, ears perked up.
"W-what?" Ryan said, gulping afterwards.
"Yeah, I guess it must've been posted" the wolf went on, shrugging off the thought, trying to hold back his amusement.
"Oh god, that wasn't supposed to get sent out!" the Dalmatian exclaimed, running around the room they shared, looking everywhere he could. "That photo was - well, suggestive."
"Oh" replied Sam, watching in amusement as his boyfriend panicked. "You mean this?" he said, pulling the photo out of his pocket.
Sam learnt that day you should never scare your boyfriend - especially when he can through lamps with accurate precision.
