Part 2

Madonna turned the computer on. “What do you wanna do?”, Verity asked. “Have you ever heard of 'moon-buy'? It's an Internet platform where you can buy everything... “

“Yes, of course”, Verity interrupted her, “but I'm not sure if this will work-...”

“Don't think in such a limited way! Ah, moon-bay, C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s t-r-e-e. Aw, damn. All of the people can't send their trees in less time than two days. DAMN!”

“So - What should we do now?”, Verity asked.

“Okay, let's ask our friends. Maybe one of them bought two trees.”

But all of their friends only bought one tree. Some of them even didn't buy one, because they hadn't found any tree left, just like Madonna and Verity.

“Okay”, Madonna said when she hung up the phone, “that was my last call. So what do you think about calling the stores directly? Maybe one of them still has one tree left?”

“Maybe. But I don't really believe that. Let's still call all of them. I don't wanna give up so easily.”

“Hi. Is this the store 'Reductive Christmas Stuff'? Yes? Do you still have one Christmas tree? No? Oh, that's sad. But-... hey! You can't-... Hello?” She threw the phone away.” Who does he think he is? He hangs up the phone while talking to ME!!

“Gee, this person is really... not nice”, Verity said. When she called the other Christmas stores, she didn't have more success. Everybody said that they unfortunately didn't have any Christmas tree anymore.

“Duuh. I'm desperate. What could we do now?”, Verity asked.

“Oh, come on, let's visit the Christmas market, maybe we'll find something that looks like a tree”, Madonna replied and put her jacket on. “At least we won't only sit around sadly then, so I think that's a good idea”, Verity said and also put her jacket on.
