"Yeaahhhhh." Sonic muttered, waking up. He looked out his window to see snow falling down to the ground. He smiled at this. It would be the first Christmas since he and Tails became what they were now. Then, he heard commotion, turning and seeing everyone else but Blaze waking up. Sonic smiled that smirk that people knew he was going to start some trouble. Sneaking over to Blaze's bed, Sonic inhaled deeply, Tails and Knuckles taking a few steps back.
"WAKE UP BLAZE! IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Sonic yelled.
"GAHHHHH!" Blaze yelled as she shot straight up. Everyone was sure she'd stick to the ceiling, like what you see in cartoons. She looked around frantically, only to find Tails wide eyed, Knuckles stifling a laugh, and Sonic...rolling on his back laughing. "Why you childish-"
"Uh-oh, RUN!" Sonic yelled, bolting out the room to find Ruby burst out of her room with a Santa hat, running away from a bloodthirsty Weiss.
"RUBY ROSE, GET BACK HERE!" Weiss yelled, shaking her fist violently.
"Let me guess, you yelled "It's Christmas" in her ear to wake her up, didn't you?" Sonic asked as he caught up to a laughing Ruby.
"Yes?" Ruby replied innocently.
"Ditto." Sonic replied, the two fist bumped when they turned and saw Blaze catching up. Sonic's eyes widened.
"Hold on!" Sonic said as he grabbed Ruby by the hand and sped off, Ruby yelling "WAHOOO!" All the way.

Breakfast that morning was great. Well, except for the two rude awakenings. The cafeteria was pretty empty, most students went home for the holidays. Jaune went to see his family, Ren and Nora were out visiting old friends, and Pyrrha went to see her grandmother.
Ruby and Sonic were downing cookies, trying to out eat the other. Yang and Knuckles were arm wrestling, Blake and Blaze were reading, Tails was enjoying the snowy view, and Weiss was doing her nails. Everyone seemed pretty happy.
"So, why didn't you four go home?" Sonic asked with a mouthful, Yang finally overpowering Knuckles.
"Our dad isn't home. He sent us a card and our presents though." Yang said, shaking her wrist as Knuckles massaged his.
"I...have a complicated situation at home." Weiss replied.
"Same here." Blake responded.
Tails sat by the window, still looking outside. Sonic went over to him.
"You ok bud?" Sonic asked, startling Tails.
"Yeah, I just don't remember much snow back when..."
"Hey, let's not go there. We're here now, we have friends, and a team." Sonic explained as Weiss was chastising Ruby in the back ground for eating to many cookies. "Everything is going to be ok bud. I promise." Sonic said, Tails smiling at him.
.
The two teams went outside to enjoy the snow. Blaze didn't bundle up much as her flames prevented her from being cold, same with Tail's fur. Knuckles and Sonic just didn't mind the cold. Team RWBY on the other hand were bundled head to toe.
Sonic looked down, casting an evil grin. He reached down and formed a snowball, curling it up and throwing it at Knuckles, who turned around to see Sonic acting casual, whistling. Knuckles turned back around only to be pelted by another snowball, turning to see Sonic and Ruby pointing at each other. Knuckles smirked, forming two snowballs and getting the both of them. The three started laughing, Yang and Tails joining in on the fun while Weiss, Blaze, and Blake steered clear, thinking how childish it was. That's when the three noticed everyone staring at them.
"No. Don't even-" Weiss started, but was cut off when Yang hit her face with a snowball. "WHY YOU-" she tried as she was pelted by many more. Blake had many launched her way, but dodged them all while Blaze melted them to water.
It descended into a war between RWBY and SKBM, the three reluctant ones to have fun finally giving up and at least trying it.
"Justice will be cold!" Ruby yelled as she raised a snowball.
"Let's do it to it gang!" Sonic countered, the two teams going into an all out Snowball war.
Knuckles made a quick trench for his team as Sonic formed ammunition. Tails took to the sky and dropped the snow onto Team RWBY, but the four teens dodged (or punched, in Yang's case) to safety. Weiss summoned and controlled the snow to make a fort.
"CHARGE!" Sonic yelled, arms full of snowballs as everyone else charged with him. He broke into the castle, but was pelted by everyone waiting to ambush him. Knuckles and Blaze took more caution and made a door for themselves while Tails flew overhead.
"One down!" Ruby yelled, but suddenly the pile of snow on top of Sonic started moving, and Sonic burst out and created a tornado, throwing snow everywhere while his team flanked. "Retreat!" Ruby yelled, only to be caught in the trap. "Not like this!" and Tails dropped his snow load of snow. Everyone laughed, covered in snow. It was getting late, so they decided to head inside.
Getting to the door, Blaze stopped. "Hey Sonic?" Blaze asked her arm behind her back while Sonic turning around.
"What's up?" Sonic asked.
"I have something for you."
"What?" Sonic asked confused as Blaze walked up to him. He then saw her arm move from behind her back and was to late to react, getting a snowball straight to the face.
"That was for this morning." Blaze answered smirking, while everyone pointed and laughed at the hedgehog.
.
Sitting by a fireplace, the eight teens were trading stories and jokes.
"So I asked, "Are you robbing me?" and the guy actually answers!" Ruby exclaimed, everyone laughing as she described how she took the thugs down the night she met Ozpin and Glynda.
Sonic looked over, seeing a guitar and picked it up.
"You play?" Yang asked.
"Not sure. I got this tune stuck in my head though. Guess we'll just have to see." Sonic responded as he tuned it. Then, he started strumming his fingers to a relaxing tune. (His world acoustic) Everyone gently rocked to the beat and the crackling of the fire, thinking on all the adventures they'd have together. Like Ozpin stated, it's going to be an interesting year.
