"Hey Ivan! Dude, I got you a present!" Alfred chirped excitedly. Naturally, the other man did not share it.

"It is either something dumb, or... no, it is just something very dumb."

"Aw c'mon! I got it with loooooove!" Alfred held out the box.

"But I do not like capitalist trash, Fredka..."

Alfred laughed like he was joking. Little did he know, he was not. "Just open it!"

Ivan looked at it suspiciously. "You will leave if I do so, yes?"

"Sure thing, dude!"

"Deal." He took the box and opened it. Inside were...moon shoes. He looked at them, half in curiosity and half in confusion.

There was also a note. He picked it up.

For you, because these are the closest you'll get to ever getting to the moon :)

"That little..." Ivan turned around, but Alfred was already running away, laughing his head off. Oh well. He'd get him next time, for sure.
