A/N: Christmas story, yay. Using my OC's here, just a quick reminder, if you haven't read my stories. Annaka is Gildar and Ballista's daughter. Danny is Kook and Shaiden's son. Charles-Jr defenders boss

First day of Christmas- One best friend

"I can't believe you're actually going to do this." Annaka said looking at the grinning half bird half ninja in front of her, "You're going to get yourself killed."

"Don't be so dramatic." Danny replied to the half Viking half huntress in front of him, "My dad has done it plenty of times and you know what they say the apple doesn't fall far away from the nest."

Annaka sighed as she watched Danny plan his route; plan his route up the Christmas tree that is. Danny had found at that Kook climbed a Christmas tree ages ago and said that it was fun and cool to be there. Everyone noticed that mistake he made when he said that. The mistake was that he had said it in front of his son, who then looked at Annaka.

"Will you hurry up!" Annaka exclaimed, "It's 1am and someone is going to notice that we're up, knowing our luck probably Charles."

Danny prepared himself to climb the tree, which Gildar and Skabb had collected this morning. It was 7ft tall and very bushy with quite strong branches.

"Do you think it's safe?" Danny asked right before he started climbing the tree.

"You ask me that now?" Annaka almost shouted, "Danny, we have been down here for 15 minutes, 5 of that was you preparing yourself to climb the tree the other 10 minutes was me repeating that it's a stupid idea and it's dangerous."

Danny rolled his eyes and started climbing the tree. As much as he would hate to admit it, it was very prickly so he kept getting his pricked.

"Oww." Danny whispered.

"Told you this was a bad idea." Annaka said.

Danny was about to ask how she knew what he had done but then remembered that she was telepathic and could read his thoughts. Danny finally made it up the tree and was secure enough to hang on. He looked down at Annaka who looked far away and very unimpressed.

"Told you I can do it." Danny boosted.

"I never doubted you." Annaka explained, "I just said it was a stupid idea and that something will go wrong because it always does."

"Oh come on." Danny said, "Where's that fun, curious and courageous Annaka that I've known all my life?"

"She went to bed." Annaka replied sharply, "Like this Annaka would like to."

Just then Danny was wobbling and the tree was shaking franticly.

"Danny, be careful." Annaka almost screeched.

He grinned at her and stopped shaking the tree showing Annaka that he was fine all along, "Don't tell me you were worried about me?"

"I wasn't." Annaka exclaimed, "I just didn't want the tree falling over and everything smashing."

Danny jumped down from the tree and stood in front of Annaka, "Fine, whatever you say and if you want to go to bed and get some beauty sleep then go. I'll be fine."

Annaka sighed and went to upstairs to bed to hopefully get some sleep. She climbed the two flights of stairs and opened her bedroom door before collapsing on her bed and pulling the duvet right up as it was a cold night. She felt her eye lids getting heavy and soon found herself sleeping.

Half an hour later, Annaka woke up because someone was calling her name. Well technically they weren't, she heard them call out telepathically. She leaned up and tried to focus on who was crying for help. She then realised it was Danny. She climbed out of bed and went downstairs to find the half bird half ninja getting up off the floor from where he just fell on to.

"Told you it was a bad idea." Annaka said.

Danny looked up to her in slight pain and held his hand up for her to grab and help pull him up, which she grabbed and pulled.

"You can be such an idiot sometimes." Annaka commented.

"Don't blame me, blame my dad. I inherited his genes so therefore it's his fault." Danny replied.

Normally Annaka would have asked where is the logic in that but as she was soo tired she didn't bother. She was about to go back to her bed when Danny turned the TV on, unfortunately for her it was one of her old favourite films. Actually it was their favourite films. She remembers all of them sitting down at Christmas time watching it. The film was rise of the guardians. It was an old film as it came out in 2012 and it was childish but they still loved it.

"Come on, we used to love this film." Danny exclaimed making he more comfortable.

Annaka sat down next to him, "I'll only watch half an hour."

She didn't even make it that far. 10 minutes into the film, Annaka felt her eye lids getting heavy again and she fell asleep on Danny's shoulder.

"Hey Ann…" Danny was saying then noticed that she was asleep, "Never mind."

He then figured he was in a tight situation. As Annaka was asleep he didn't know what to do. He had two choices. 1 leave her down here or 2 carry her to her room. They both had consequences, the first one being that if Danny left her down here, the others would realise that she had been staying up late and she would be in trouble with Gildar, Ballista and Charles and then he would be racked with guilt. The consequences to the second solution would be that Annaka would figure out that Danny carried her up to her room and would not be impressed.

After 5 minutes of thinking about it. Danny decided to carry her up to her room and hopefully Annaka wouldn't mind that much. He carefully picked her up and struggled to get her to her room. Eventually he did, although he did have to kick her bedroom door open. He then laid her on the bed and pulled the duvet up to cover her.

"Knew you were worried about me earlier." Danny whispered before he left.

The next morning, Annaka woke up and although it did take her a few seconds, realised that she was in her bedroom. She looked at the clock that said 8:47am. She turned around to try and get back to sleep.

"I'll be annoyed at him later." Annaka mumbled before she went back to sleep.

A/N: Just to say each chapter will have two character in it only for background development etc. except the final two which will have all the defenders in it.
