Sky's Gift
#1 of Latex Star Skyshadow
A birthday gift done for Skyshadow many years ago (14). Enjoy. Suiting, transformation, part of a series I'll post it all together on here.
Sky's Gift
Kirisha saw with her yellow eyes that skyshadow coming up her walkway to her house, her raptor tail swayed behind her ever so gently as she gave a smile with her white pearly teeth, her green and dark green stripped scaled skin covered by a layer of revealing black leather outfit. Her legs completely covered by it from her ankles to her hips except by a series of string leather straps that appear to hold the two leather pieces into place. Her crotch is covered by a single smooth leather piece surrounded by fishnet style clothing which hocked onto her pants to keep it in place, wrapping around her tail, as the upper part of her body was completely naked except for fishnet braw where just small patches of black leather cover her perking nipples, a sight that would be completely illegal and indecent if it wasn't for the fact her home was surrounding by the countryside far from anyone's wandering eyes.
"Happy hatchday dear," says as she sees the smooth muscular black and white smooth dolphin like skinned body moves, his wings which are attached to his arms folded he walks almost, just almost seeming a bit awkward to walk like that. His underside was a smooth white as the rest of him was predominantly black except for a few areas such as two black white spots on his back fine that almost look like eyes staring back at you as well as the small underside of that back fin. His long head crest which is as long as his snout is completely back except for the small white crevice which denote where his ears were, and around his yellow eyes down to where the start of what you could consider a beak of his snout was, was a white scaled indentation.
Silver spokes jut out from various points around his body, three notably on his spade shaped tail, two more on each of his wings, showing exactly where his wing bones were, and two more sets on his upper muzzle that point down, one a few inches from the beak of his upper muzzle and one halfway up his muzzle, giving him a fierce yet sexy look. In his three silver clawed hands held a white wrapped box, his four toes feet claws clicked against the hard walkway as he moved, his large inner toe almost looked raptor like with it's significantly larger size to the rest of his feet.
"I thought it was your friends' job to get you hatchday gifts not the other way around," says Kirisha with a giggle.
"I know, I know, this is a gift I got from another friend, I figured after you're done showing me my gift I can share this one with you," he says with a grin as he walks up the steps to her door.
"Awe that's so sweet of you dear, why don't you come in side and we can get started on your gift," she says with a fiendish grin as skyshadow passes by her, her claws gently running along the top of his back across his back fin sending shivers through his spine.
"Oh I can't wait," he replies looking over his shoulder with a lewd grin.
"So tell me my hatchday wyvern what room do you want your gift in?"
"How about the bedroom, always a good place for such a gift," he says as Kirisha gives a nod.
"Well I know you know the way," she says as Skyshadow begins to walk up the steps in the nearby room his claws muffled on the red carpeting, Kirisha staring at Skyshadow's smooth black and white butt, her claws moving forward to gently massage and push him up the stares, Skyshadow happily wiggling his butt as he walks.
"Anxious aren't we?" replies Skyshadow with a purr as Kirisha just gives him a cute smile.
"Oh I didn't wear this outfit just to beat around the bush now didn't I?"
"I do know something you can certainly beat," says Skyshadow with a chuckle, as they soon enter Kirisha's bedroom. Inside is revealed to be lush fluffy red carpeting that gives you the feeling you're walking on fluffy furry clouds and in the center of her is a large heart double layered cushion bed covered in red silky sheets, and soft red velvet pillows.
"You like?" asks Kirisha as Skyshadow takes in the room, placing his white box off to the side as he walks onto the bed and as he climbs on top Kirisha can clearly see his butt and starting to bulge sheath.
"Lovely, a bit heavy on the red though," he says turning around to sit up on the edge of the bed, his tail swaying behind him slightly above the silken sheets. "Bed feels very comfortable," he says as he wiggles his butt.
"Do you want me to get bit more comfortable or shall I begin as I am now," she says with a giggle.
"Hatchday wyvern wants a little strip tease," he says with a grin.
"Whatever hatchday wyvern wants, hatchday wyvern gets," she says as she turns around bending over to reach her ankles, lifting her tail up high to show off her leather covered thighs and fishnet covered rump, her tail hole happened to be covered by a small piece of solid leather. Skyshadow softly murrs to himself as he feels his cock twitching more within his sheath, the lips of it gently parting as he watches.
Kirisha slowly sways her tail with a butt wiggle as she begins to untie the straps on her legs that keep the two leather pieces around her legs together, only untying the first two knots on both legs, letting the ankle up to the lower half of her lower thighs flap free in the wind as she turns around, placing her foot right over Sky's bulging crotch, her claws gently tapping and teasing the sensitive flesh around the opening. Sky gasps softly as he feels his cock twitch more the tip of his purple member poking out against the sole of Kirisha's foot, sky blushing knowing she can feel it.
"Why don't you be a dear and help me get out of this tight and hard to untie leather, I know your fingers are nibble enough to help me," says Kirisha as she runs her claws down sky's chest.
Sky shivers at the thought as he moves his head over to Kirisha's leather covered thighs sniffing her luscious scent as her claws gently and tenderly begin to untie each knot on her leather pants, one by one Sky can feel Kirisha's clothes loosen, the scent trapped behind the leather rushing to skyshadow, enticing him more. His member growing harder and harder with heart beat, the wet dribbling top rubbing up against Kirisha's foot up in between her two toes, where her sharp claws are now beside his sensitive flesh, making Sky feel so vulnerable but oh so good.
Kirisha feels the movement of sky's hardening cock against her foot, she looks down just to see the tip poke through and move in between her two largest toes, she gently gives sky's cock a firm foot squeeze as the second to last knot on her one leg is undone, leaving only one knot that keeps her pants on that side up and her panties.
"Good boy, now for the other," she says petting Sky's head pulling her leg away just as Sky reaches for the last knot, Sky's cock twitching in it's full erectness, wet from his hidden place.
"With pleasure," he replies thrusting his member against Kirisha's other foot as it's placed tenderly about it, pre continuing to dribble as Sky repeats the process, feeling Kirisha's toes squeeze and rub up and down against his cock, her smooth cool claws touching his skin only adds to the teasing pleasure he's receiving, sky seeming disappointed when again when he reaches the last knot, she pulls her legs away.
"Don't worry dear we'll have plenty of fun there but first I think you need a bit of a warm up," she says her leather pants flapping in the air as she moves. Sky watches curiously as Kirisha reaches behind her back unhooking her bra, the perk green nipples slowly being revealed as the weight the bra was holding up is slowly released, Sky seeing a light but noticeable drop in Kirisha's breasts as she tosses the bra onto Sky's face.
Sky murrs at the sight as he reaches up to touch them just as the fishnet is thrown at him, Kirisha's scent heavily covers the bra as sky basks in the scent just for a moment before attempting to pull the fishnet off, only to find his silver bones on his face have been entangled by the bra.
"Let me help you," says Kirisha with a giggle noticing her friends predicament, she runs her claws softly against Sky's face, sending him a soft pleasure that helps him relax, as slowly Kirisha untangles the bra, leaning forward so the only thing Sky can see in his field of view are her hard perking nipples. "Better?" she asks once she gets the bra off of him.
"Much better," he replies leaning forward to place his face in-between Kirisha's scaly green orbs. "Much, much better," he says nuzzling Kirisha's breasts breathing in the scent as Kirisha gives a giggle petting his head crest.
"If you like that you'll love what I'm about to do next," she says as she gently pulls sky's head away, lowering herself till her breasts come right on top of Sky's throbbing member. Sky's claws gripped the bed sheets as Kirisha held her breasts tight letting the wyvern's member slowly slip against the cleavage of her breasts, letting the tip poke out between them to fee a slowly tender lick from Kirisha's nibble tongue.
Sky gives out a soft shiver as he feels his cock rub up and along her scaled breast; Kirisha's claws gently massage her breasts together to have them shift around his cock, moving her chest up and down his cock. She releases and lets his cock pull out from his throbbing member, allowing Kirisha to slowly wrap her lips around it for a quick and firm suckle, tasting his cool mint flavored pre on her tongue.
Sky's pants of pleasure exit from him as he tenses up from the suckle, Kirisha slowly pulling away as small strands of salvia break from his cock head to her lips, Kirisha pushing her breasts together again to pin Sky's cock up against them and his own body, where slowly she starts to rub the breasts the nipples especially against Sky's cock tip. Skyshadow gently thrusting upwards as his pleasure increases, the nipples feeling like soft claw tips touching his sensitive flesh.
Eventually Kirisha shifts gears and rubs the cock back in between the squeezed crevice of Kirisha seemingly formed giant single boob. Her breasts moving up and along Sky's cock, as Kirisha begins to rotate the motion of her two breasts in opposite directions forming a pulling grip at the center, and slowly Kirisha's breasts pull and tug at Sky's cock pulling it through the mesh of flesh back in between the hole that she has formed with her cleavage, and begins to move up and down his cock once more.
"Oh Kirisha," he moans as his cock quivers, feeling quick and gentle suckles and laps of his cock as it disappears and reappears out between the mass of green flesh of Kirisha's breasts. Sky's thrusting growing stronger and stronger till he can no longer hold himself back, the burning pleasure going through his member into his being was just too great and just as his cock was pull away from Kirisha's mouth and into the dark depths of the cleavage hole, he released himself. Kirisha's cleavage hole looking like the top of a volcano that is exploding white mint flavored wyvern seed all over her chests and breast, Kirisha feels the hot seed splashing onto her face as well, her tongue held out as she attempts to catch some of the wyvern's essence in mid air.
A small pool of seed is formed at the top of Kirisha's cleave hole and slowly as she moves down the seed flows down out between her breasts down onto Sky's lower belly, Kirisha grins up at the spent wyvern. "How did that feel? Did that feel good?" she asks as wyvern nods and moans.
"Oh yes what a wonderful gift," he replies.
"Oh this was just the wrapping my dear," she says pulling her breasts away moving them over to Sky's muzzle as she grips his head crest. "Lick," she says in an authoritative of voice.
"Yes Mistress Kirisha," he says with a blush his purple tongue slowly slipping out of his muzzle slowly caressing Kirisha's breasts, feeling along their curves as he tastes his own sticky seed on them.
"Hmm yes, that's a good wyvern, a very good wyvern, make sure you get between them it's a real mess there," she says tugging at his head to force his muzzle deeper in between her breasts which squeeze down on the side of his muzzle, Sky's nostrils being filled with the smell of his own seed and Kirisha's sweet soothing scent. His tongue lapping at the copious amounts of seed his cock has left there before cleaning the rest of her chest. His tongue moving across her hard nipples which he spends a moment to give each one a quick suckle.
Kirisha purrs as he feels his warm tongue clean her scales, waiting till he's completely finished before pulling his head away, pushing him down onto his back, Kirisha's tail brushing up against Sky's as she leans over him, her crotch about over sky's spent yet still hard cock, her claws running over his chest as she looks up at the larger wyvern.
"You ready for your gift?" she says with a grin.
Sky nods with a purr arching his back as his thrusts his cock a bit higher into the air closer to Kirisha's hot sex which is still just covered by the bits of leather clothing. "Yes I am."
"Good my dear," she replies pulling back her claws gently tracing down his chest and belly before she reaches around her hips to untie the last strands which hold on her pants and with that she tosses them off on top of Sky's face who feels the how wet and hot Kirisha's sex really is.
He slowly breathed in the sweet scent, imagining in his mind what her sex looked like, slowly pulling the clothing away from his view to see his imagination was dead on, before him he could see her hot wet dripping sex, the warm female fluids almost oozing out of her onto his cock tip. Sky squirms in anticipation as Kirisha slowly lowers herself down onto his cock, her sex just missing the tip so he can feel her sex grip along his shift, his member being angled down towards him it's slowly covered in her wet juices.
"Make a wish Hatchday Boy, for I'm about to blow out your candle," she says as she lifts her sex above your cock head before slamming herself down with a moan arching her back as her breasts jut out, jiggling with the movement as sky tenses up his claws moving up to hold Kirisha's hips as he begins to firmly thrust into her. His cock extra sensitive from the earlier teasing is only enhanced by Kirisha's tight grip around it.
Kirisha can feel sky's ribbed member tug at her hot wet flesh, sending shivers through her spine, making her sex quiver and milk his member as she moves up and down, her breasts bouncing with each up and down movement.
Sky's claws hold and rub upon Kirisha's scaly hips helping stabilize her as she bounces on his rock hard member, his body slamming against her cunt over and over with a wet slap. Sky's chest heaves in and out in his heavy pants as Kirisha slowly leans forward to support herself on top of the wyvern, her hand right over his chest, feeling his pounding heart beat as he pounds her even faster. Her breasts now jiggling more erratically against each other as sky beings to thrust into the new angle, the burning pleasure sensations through their bodies grows higher and hotter.
The pleasure tingles through their loins as Kirisha feels the empty need of Sky's cock being left with each pull out only to be fulfilled a moment later, sky feeling the great warmth of Kirisha's tight sex, shivering when he pulls out to feel the relatively cool air against it, urging him like a man afraid of the coil in the middle of winter to hide back into his warm house by the fire place of Kirisha's sex.
Kirisha's tail begins to snake around Skyshadow's, sky's larger more muscular body becoming more apparent as Kirisha's tail falls far short of reaching Sky's squirming tail spade. Sky's feet twitching in the air, curling his toes as he begins to quiver in pleasure his body wanting to cum so bad but must wait as he builds another precious load of his specially flavored seed.
Kirisha holds onto a dear thread her years of self practice being the only thing that keeps her from blowing her climax before skyshadow reaches his, her body feeling the pleasure rise up only to have Kirisha force it back down with a deep moan and shiver, her body aching and screaming at her mind to let herself go.
Sky's body is so hot, his wing arms moving against the air making it move and cooling himself and Kirisha down, enticing their pleasures even more, as he can finally feel himself ready for another climax. His cock twitches readily as he slams himself hard as he can into Kirisha's tight vaginal walls, running up against her G spot, the tip poking at the very point of her womb, fully showing how deep the wyvern can go into the smaller raptor as he lets out a massive roar, his body releasing his cool mint seed directly into Kirisha's womb. The suddenly pleasures of the climax and depth of his thrusts send Kirisha completely over the edge no amount of training could have prepared her for something his massive and this good at once, her hot female juices flowing down onto his cock, her sex quivering as it milks his member pulling and tugging at the seed pulling it into her as deep as it can go, making sure not a single drop escapes her, and not a single drop remains within Sky.
The two shivering as their climaxes slowly begin to subside, the exhaustion of the pleasure causing Kirisha to collapse into Sky's awaiting arms as they don't speak, too short of breath to talk, as they snuggle in the warm after glow, a perfect gift for the wyvern's hatchday.
But a wyvern as smart as Sky knows when it's his day he should get all he can get ad as he embraces the green raptor within his claws against his smooth black and white dolphin skinned body, he ponders the thoughts to come, which slowly help his wyvern hood spring back to life within Kirisha's body.
"Hmm feels like you want more," says Kirisha breaking the fifteen minutes of silence between them.
"Oh I was thinking of the gift I got earlier, if you're not too tired you could do the wyvern a favor and try it on."
"Try it on?" she says lifting her head not wanting to get off of Sky just yet.
"Yes, you recall how I enjoy costume play right?" he asks with a grin.
"Oh I do, knowing how you like to have nice female humans wear dragon suits as you pound them."
"That's the one," says Wyvern with a grin. "I got a nice latex wyvern suit and I think you might like the honors of the one to try it on."
"Why I'd love to, you know how I have a latex fetish," she says as she slowly slips off of the wyvern's cock both of them shivering in pleasure as they both feel a bit more exposed to the hot musky sex scent filled air around them. Kirisha's hips sway as she walks over to the box slowly releasing the wyvern's tail as she goes over to the box bending over to give Sky a nice view of Kirisha's green butt which is dripping with his own handy work.
Sky gives a little whistle as he watches her open the box, pulling out a two piece wyvern suit, the black and white skin shinning in the lights as she walks back over to the bed, as she feels the smooth latex between her claws.
"Oh it feels very high quality and I can be the first to wear it?" she asks with a grin.
"Oh yes try it on," she says as Kirisha gives a nod, finding the back peals apart with a static cling like stick. Inside she can see a smooth almost mirror reflection in the suit, her feet and tail slipping into it as it feels so smooth and cool against her hot scales, her tail slipping perfectly into the wyvern one, her tip reaching the tip of the tail spade giving her a full sense of movement of the tail.
She wiggles her butt deeper into the suit her legs completely incased by it as she slips her arms into the front, her breast being rubs up against the latex skin across her breasts, feeling her nipples perk into the nipples already there for her, the latex fitting like a glove.
"Here let me help you," he says as he pulls the latex around her, Kirisha feeling the weight and tug of the wing arms as she wiggles her toes and feet seeing her black arms and legs with her relatively lesser white underside, giving her a much blacker shinier look than her wyvern friend.
Kirisha giggles as she feels the latex get tugged more around her, making her breasts become more supported and perky against the latex, the suit opening seemingly to sticky merge back together leaving only her head not incased.
"Oh it feels good," she says wiggling her hands again feeling only the three fingers instead of her normal four.
"We're almost done," says Sky with a grin as she slips the head piece on with a squeak, as she feels the weight of a head crest against the back of her head, to sky the wyvern covered raptor's eyes turn a nice shade of blue as there is just a light noticeable seem between the head and the rest of the suit, Kirisha giggling as she feels the long muzzle and similar like upper mouth horns on her face. "Oh you forgot a piece."
"I did? I thought I grabbed it all," replies Kirisha glancing over her body with a squeak, seeing a unique horn on the top of her foot, giving her a bit more character compared to the true wyvern.
"Yeah you did but don't worry, just close your eyes and I'll put it on you as a nice surprise for such a good raptor you've been to me."
"Okay," says Kirisha with a nod closing her eyes as Skyshadow heads over to the box pulling out a shiny black latex collar, on it is a metal ring through it with a nice golden star tag with the words upon it engraved "Star" and right below it in smaller lettering "Property of Skyshadow"
Sky lewdly grins as he walks back to Kirisha wrapping the collar around her neck as Kirisha gives a shiver moan. "Oh that feels kind of nice," she says as the collar suddenly merges into Kirisha's skin, the suit now complete begins to tight and full out more around Kirisha body. Kirisha gasps her eyes remaining closed as she squirms within the suit as she becomes the latex wyvern with the name that's inscribed upon it.
"You see Kirisha wyverns have no magical abilities but doesn't mean we have friends who have them that don't enhance our own pleasures from time to time, don't worry it's only temporary, as soon as I remove the collar you will turn back to normal," says Sky as Kirisha's shivering stops her eyes opening as she looks at Skyshadow with baby blue eyes.
"Hello master, how are you doing," she says in a slightly different female voice, the wyvern squeaking over to skyshadow as she rubs and nuzzles her master's chest.
"I am doing great my pet Star, and how are you doing?"
"I'm doing great master, how may I serve you today?" she asks happily her purple latex tongue lapping along sky's chest, sky's claws gently caressing the back of the smaller wyvern's head.
"I was thinking at first you to go completely feral but a friend of ours Kirisha gave me an urge to use these," says Sky as his hands move down Star's side over to her breasts giving them a firm squeaky squeeze, his claws kneading the nipples of the wyvern tugging at them helping them get nice and perky.
Star moans and arches her back her body shining in the lights as she presses her breasts up against her master. "Hmm as you wish my master," she says as she lets sky play with them before pulling away, the wyvern spreading his legs to show off his throbbing member to her.
Star smiles as she goes over to him, nuzzling and licking the throbbing cock before her, using her facial horns to gently run and nuzzle her face against the cock to tease it without using her hands, which were busy rubbing his master's inner thighs. Her tongue slowly wraps around the base of the cock slowly snaking its way to the top where she gives a nice firm suckle before running her breasts against Sky's tail base and lower crotch, letting sky's inner thighs squeeze down at them with a squeak before her claws pick up on the job.
"Good my pet, very good, continue, and when I cum make sure you don't miss a drop now," says Sky as he gives a wink at her.
"Yes my master," she replies her claws gently rubbing against her perking breasts as she squeezes them tighter together lifting them up and then back down over and onto Sky's cock, pressing it against the cleavage hole she has made, the wyvern's cock squeaking against Star's smooth skin, her breasts jiggling and massaging his member.
"Yes my pet... more, more, tighter," moans Sky as his claws dig into the bed sheets, while Star bobs her breast up and down her tongue slipping out reaching down to sky's member, wrapping around it like a snake before giving it a quick suckle kiss as it reaches the highest thrust up Star's breast fuck. Her tongue slowly releasing the cock as it goes back down till only the tip of her tongue talented tongue laps at Sky's tapered shaft.
The wyvern's cock twitches with each thrust watching his member appear and disappear between Star's heavy shiny smooth orbs, feeling his pleasure run through his body as he bucks his hips against her, pre starting to dribble again from his cock head making Star's orbs more slick and squeaky with every thrust.
Sky arches his back his thrusting starting to grow more sporadic as he approaches his third climax of the night, Star sensing his imamate release thrusts her breasts back down with a light bounce her lips wrapping around the wyvern hood suckling hard as her tongue focus completely on his cock head, the move sending him over the edge, his cock spasms as hot sticky minty seed is shot straight up into Star's awaiting muzzle, hers holding on tight as she suckles your cock, like a baby would their bottle. Not letting a single drop out of her latex lips, wanting to pleasure and please her master as best she can.
Sky can feel his cock head flaring and being suckled adding to his massive wave of pleasure as he feels himself being literally sucked dry, his body pants and aches as his member now remains erect and hard, hitting the point where he must climax again to want to calm down.
Slowly Star releases her lips from your cock sensing it's been drained of your most delicious seed, she gently kisses your cock and gives it a lick before releasing her breasts from each other letting your cock slip past them. "Did I do good master?" she asks with her spade tail swaying behind her excitedly awaiting your response.
"You did a wonderful job my pet, but master isn't done with you, I want you to show me that cute butt of yours," he says with a grin.
"Yes master but of course!" she says happily moving more onto the bed as she turns to tail to her master raising her butt high in the air to show off her smooth shiny dripping latex sex.
Sky gives ad eep purr as he runs his paws over the smooth butt, groping it as Star gives out a needy moan. Sky moving his chest against the butt, pressing himself against it as he slowly begins to get on top of Star rubbing his cock against her thigh as it slowly moves higher and higher, till the very tip touches her sex.
"Is my Star ready to grant master's wish to come true?" says Sky with a lewd grin.
"I was hatched ready master," she says with another need moan, her breasts pressed up against the silky red sheets as she prepares herself to be penetrated by her master.
"Here we go my pet," he says as he rubs his cock tip along the entire entrance of Star's sex teasing her with a squeak before he thrusts into her, Star's claws twitching and grabbing the bed sheets as she suddenly penetrated so deeply and so fully. Sky's cock sinking deep within her hot wet folds and as he pulls out he flares his cock head making him feel twice as big as when he did when he first came in, making Star squirm in pleasure underneath him.
Sky enjoyed feeling the warmth and squirming of his pet below, his arms wrapping around her to place his claws upon her squeezed breasts, massaging them against each other as he tugs at the perk nipples. His body sliding up and down the Star's back, feeling her back fin against his chest, moaning in pleasure as his cock sinks deep within her tight folds over and over again.
Sky's body still noticeably a few sizes larger than the wyvern below him as he pounds his massive cock into he awaiting sex, hitting her G spot over and over, her ribbed length running across her labia and clitoris, increasing Star's intoxicated pleasure. Her body trained completely to wait until her master's climax no matter how body her body wants to climax.
Sky's body smacks against Star's rocking her body back and forth with each thrust as he feels himself growing steadily closer to his most awaited for fourth climax. Pre flows again as his cock twitches, his cock head flaring over and over as he gets closer, his depth hot breaths washing over Star as she waits in pleasuring agony to feel her master fill her up, awaiting for the moment of pure ecstasy.
Sky's body tenses up he feels the pleasure burn deep within his loins as his internal balls have been churning like mad to build up the cum needed for this fourth most wonderful climax. Sky slams his body hard into his pet, his lover sending his cock tip back into the womb of the this time latex wyvern, sending his cooling mint flavored seed deep within her, cooling the fires that burn with in him and her.
The cooling fires that now let Star hit her climax her sex gripping down hard on Sky's massive cock, massaging and milking it even better than Kirisha herself ever could. Her body rocking against her master as she drains him of every delicious drop of seed, making her feel the cooling warmth of sky's seed within her, make her feel oh so good that she couldn't put words to her pleasure.
The two wyvern's bodies are now beyond completely exhausted, Skyshadow nuzzling his pet as the two relax, their heavy pants echoing softly in the room as their tails wrap around each other, Sky gently licking and nibbling at Star's ear and neck.
"Thank you master," She replies.
"No, thank you my pet, you've given me a hatchday I will never forget," he says grinning to himself, thinking maybe in a few days he'll let Kirisha out after he's had some more extended hatchday fun. A wyvern's hatchday only comes once a year, might as well make it last a few days.
