So first thing's first. Happy New Year! Also, in this fanfic (Probably a one shot or a holiday celebration) just imagine technology exists in MCSM.

Let's get started!

Midnight waited for the countdown to end.

Everyone had gathered around, about an hour left on the timer. She, and a lot of other people for that matter, wished it would go faster. After all, it was close to midnight (Lukas had joked about how she was born at midnight and that's why that's her name, he received a bruise on his arm a minute later.)

Although the Order wasn't doing anything too special, except watching the countdown to the New Year, it was still an exciting event. Well, that wasn't entirely true, Jesse had implied a vacation to celebrate, but nothing was confirmed yet.

Yet.

She kept herself busy, though she still kept an eye on the timer.

Twenty minutes.

Come on 2019, come on...

It was going to be a great year, she hoped. (Especially since the Every Action Matters one year anniversary is May 30th.) This was it. Her first New Year's with her new friends. She hadn't expected 2018 to come and go so fast, but here they were, celebrating the end of that, and the beginning of a New Year.

"This is gonna be awesome." Axel whispered, though everyone knew he was as bad at that as she was, so everyone heard it, despite the original recipient was supposed to be Olivia. "I know. Let's all hope it's a great year." Filled with lots of adventures, she supposed. Well, best to have it exciting than boring.

Ten minutes left.

It's exciting, but it takes a while to come. 365 days later.

Some were having a bit of trouble not falling asleep. Understandable, it was late anyway. In fact, had she not told Jesse she would dump an entire bucket of water on him or anyone else, they would've all fallen asleep by now. Well, Petra came close, apparently, despite being an adventurer, she wasn't used to staying up this late. Midnight reminded her of the water bucket and the redhead snapped to attention.

5 minutes.

She had stopped paying attention to the story she was reading, and now all eyes were on the TV.

"When will the actual ball drop?" Axel asked. "Well, they start actually counting at ten seconds left, the ball drops when that ends. So in five minutes." She gained several glances from this. "How do you know so much about this, Midnight?" Jesse asked curiously, and she debated whether or not she should tell him the real reason or not.

I won't technically be lying, just bending the truth.

"Jesse. I've done this before, quite a few years in fact."

Well, actually, that's pretty much true.

"Oh. Wait, three minutes left!"

And yes, due to that admittedly small conversation, they saved each other two minutes of waiting.

She hadn't even realized she had scooted closer to Lukas until she looked up. But even when she did, she didn't move. In fact, she actually moved closer, somehow ending up on his lap. The entire time, the blond had been too focused on the countdown to notice the purple haired girl on his lap.

And now, one minute left, and December was over, starting all over again with January.

Now, Midnight was the one beginning to feel sleepy, though Petra had used the tactic she had been reminded of to her advantage. "Hey, if you fall asleep, we're gonna be the ones dumping water on you." She said. "Wait, what? Huh? I wasn't falling asleep, I was just..." She yawned. "I was just tired..."

"Guys, hush! The ball's about to drop!"

If Midnight wasn't awake and had been sleeping at that moment, as soon as Olivia said that, she would've woken up immediately.

She almost cheered before they got to zero. She held her excitement, but barely.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

She, and almost everyone else in the room, nearly screamed the words along with them. In her excitement, she had somehow managed to sneak off Lukas' lap, move beside her brother, and yell it as loud as she could without waking up the entire town. It was still very loud, but not as loud as it could've been.

A lot of things happened that year, and now it was time for something else to happen, something new and exciting.

Something she was sure she would enjoy.

Happy New Year to everyone reading. I hope your 2019 is amazing.

So, should I do other chapters with these characters celebrating more holidays? Let me know. Leave a review, and I will see you all next time.

Bye!
