Chapter 1: Birthday

"Ceasefire days means no bullets, no fighting, no brawls whatsoever with the other team. Your respawn range is limited to your base. You may do whatever you want and

leave Mann Co. Premises. This Ceasefire will last 3 weeks." The announcement came over the intercom.

For everyone, it meant a different thing.

The RED Team was posted on Coldfront, and for Scout, it meant curling up in front of the TV, drinking Bonk! Atomic Punch, since he hated the cold. For Soldier, it meant what

else-talking to his heads and giving made up lectures on Sun Tzu. For the Pyro, it meant do whatever Engie was doing or building snowmen which he would eventually melt

them with his flamethrower. For the Demoman, watch TV with Scout or go skiing with Spy. For the Heavy, it was time to be a test subject for Medic or if Medic was away

skiing, it was time for him to make a nice Sandvich and bring a bottle of Vodka to go hunting. For the Engineer, day at the drawing board/Taking care of his stuff/crafting

with Pyro. For the Medic, composing on his violin or experimenting on either Heavy or once in a while, Demoman. He occasionally went skiing. For the Sniper, it meant

watching Heavy's back while he was hunting or skiing. For the Spy, an occasional day with BLU Scout's mother, skiing or smoking. This month's ceasefire was the longest yet,

3 weeks! Normally it meant a day or two of peace, then back to the battlefronts. Sometimes it meant a week of boring stuff, then the excitement of battle. When the Sniper,

Spy and Medic heard this they started packing up to go skiing. The Heavy was tired, so he curled up beside Sascha. The Demoman immediately grabbed some Scrumpy and

the Scout immediately grabbed some Bonk! and they flipped the TV on. The Scout wanted to watch the baseball match, but the Demo wanted to watch the soccer match, so

they started , the Sniper lit his pipe and got a book while Pyro and Engie headed outside to make some snow stuff.

The Soldier, for once, followed the Engie and Pyro outside with his shovel. After everyone had gone, there was suddenly a ring of the bell. The Soldier immediately rushed in

and yelled

"Are the BLU sonofabitches here to ambush us?" The Engie and Pyro followed him, and Pyro looked in the peephole.

"Mphis mmphcouts mph!" He exclaimed in surprise.

The Scout opened the door and and saw his mom standing there! "What the hell, ma! Ya never told us you were coming! Did the Announcer lady approve?" The Scout blurted out all at once.

"Don't worry chucklenuts! I got it all down!" The Demoman and Soldier smirked at the mention of Scout's pet name.

"Didja forget? It's ya birthday! And I got a gift for you!" Scout's mom continued.

"It is! June 14!" The Medic checked. "Yes! And Scout deserves a medal!" The Soldier exclaimed as he ran off to another room to get a medal.

"Make a wish, sweetie!" Scout's mom said as she brought out a chocolate cake. The Spy took it and placed it on a table. "I wish...that I will never have to do physicals again!" The Scout said.

"Nein! Unless you vant to die of caffeine, of course!" The Medic replied.

Scout's mom pulled out another case from her suitcase. "Here's ya gift!" She said, handing it to Scout.

"Wot… oh!" The Spy suddenly said.

The Scout opened it as Pyro left the room to get something. "Is this… A guitar ma?" Scout asked as he pulled the metal gunbai out of the case.

"No! It's a gunbai! Spy took me to Japan and we thought you would like dis!" Scout's mom replied, gesturing to Spy.

"I know that! That is a fan used by those Japanese communists!" Soldier said angrily.

"Whoa, whoa Soldier, let's not get angry over the fact that Scout has a gunbai. Scout, if ya want, I can turn it into a potential weapon for ya!" Engineer replied.

"Mph!" Pyro cried, returning with a eight gifts.

"These are for you, mate!" Sniper said to Scout. "We knew you'll forget your birthday so we prepared these! Now open mine first!" Soldier explained.

"Alright, alright." Scout sighed. Why did his ma always have to come at the worst moment possible? The first gift was from Engie.

"Sweet! Now this explains where my batting helmet went!" The Scout exclaimed after he saw what was inside. It was a soda hat, with two cans of Bonk! already on it. "Thanks Engie!"

The next gift was from Pyro. It was a fiery mace. "What can it do, Pyro?"

The Scout asked. "Mphurn mphit mmphround!" The Pyro replied.

Scout turned it around and found a tag written in Medic's handwriting. "The Sun-on-a-stick. It might slow you down in battle, but it will make you more deadly to burning

enemies." "This might come in handy! Thanks, Mumbles!"

The next gift was from Medic. "A Bonk! Boy mask! Doc! How didja know I wanted that? Thanks!" Was the Scout's surprised cry. The next was from Soldier.

"Solly, is this a fish?" The Scout asked in disbelief, pulling a mackerel out of the box.

"Affirmative!" Was all Soldier said.

The next gift was from Medic. "A Genuine #1 fan kit? You rock, doc!" The Scout exclaimed as he pulled out the Bonk! Atomizer signed by Saxton Hale himself.

He pulled open the Spy's gift, and it contained a balaclava. "Seriously? You expect me to be like you, Frenchie?" The Scout asked the Spy angrily, and the Spy just smirked.

"There's something else!" He said. "Is that your supply orders? And didja just order the new Public Enemy set for me? Guess you're not so bad after all!" Was all the Scout said.

The next gift was from Demo. "A soccer ball? Are you mocking me Demo?" The Scout remarked to the Demolitions Expert, recalling the debate over Baseball or Soccer. The cyclops just gave a drunken laugh.

The final gift was from sniper. "A sword? What's this label? The Three-Rune Blade? Could be useful!" Was the Scout's remarks on the weapon."Well, I reckon Pyro should be fixin' us all some lunch!" The Engineer said, checking the chore wheel.

"I'll do dat!" Scout's mom said. "Pyro can have a day off!" Everyone loved Scout's mom's cooking, especially the Spy.

"WOOOOO! Wooo! Whoo! What? The Demoman shouted as he returned from the supply pickup station, carrying a pallet of scrumpy and another pallet of Bonk!, water and wine.

"The Supplies are here!" Miss Pauling came over the intercom as everyone rushed to the supply station.
