On Christmas Eve in Dreamland, everyone was preparing for Christmas. From the most worthless Waddle Dee to the King, everyone was enjoying the holidays.
Well, except for Blade. For her, it was the same thing every year. Presents on one day, then a week later, a new year started. But she didn't really enjoy it.
"What's the matter Blade?" Sword asked.
"Nothing," she replied staring out the window. She also had one reason for hating Christmas, but it was too sad to think about.
"With you, 'nothing' is always something," her armored friend replied.
Meta Knight came over as well. "Blade, did something happen on Christmas that makes it not an enjoyable holiday?"
"Yes," she replied remembering her past...
Blade was eight years old, on Christmas Eve.
"Diana, can you tell your brothers and sister it's time for bed?" her mom asked.
"Okay Mommy!" she replied. "Guys! It's bed time!"
The four children then ran up the stairs and into their rooms.
"Night, guys!" Blade said, turning out the lights of her room.
"Night!" they replied.
Later that night, Blade woke up to get a drink, when she smelled smoke coming from the living room.
"FIRE!" she yelled, running for a phone and dialing 911.
"Hello?"
"Hi, my house is on fire."
"Name?"
"Diana Firewings."
"Where do you live?"
"290 South Street in Heriland."
"We're coming." Then the phone hung up.
She fled the house, her only possessions being a picture of her family, a couple pairs of clothes, a water bottle, $32, and her sword.
By the time the firemen arrived, her house was burnt to a crisp with her family dead inside it. The only thing they saved was her lion toy, Sun.
"We're sorry," one man said.
"It's okay," she replied. Then she ran far away, hoping to escape the memories of her life...
"I'm so sorry that had to happen to you," Meta Knight said.
"Wait, your real name is Diana?" Sword asked.
"Yes. My oldest brother was Fred, and he was 9. Then there were myself and Samuel twin sister and brother, and finally little Alencia. I also remember our cat, Miracle."
"Blade... I need to tell you some thing," Sword said, slowly removing his mask.
"Samuel?" she asked. "Is that really you?"
"It is, my sister," he said, pulling her into a hug.
"Samuel!" she cried, jumping into his arms. "How did you live?"
"That's kind of a long story..."
Meta Knight stepped in a little. "Shouldn't we go to sleep?"
"What time is it?" Blade asked.
"11:00 pm."
"Okay," Sword replied.
Even through out the night, Blade was still searching her memories.
When she awoke the next morning, Sword was already up and waiting like a puppy. Meta Knight was on his chair, gesturing that Blade unwrapped the first gift.
She chose one with a red wrapping and white ribbon.
"To the best person I know," she read aloud on the card. When she opened it up, she got the best present ever. "Thank you, Sword."
It was Miracle, their old cat.
I personally enjoyed writing this. It was just so... beautiful. I'm most likely going to do a whole story on the twins.
I'm sorry that's it's so sad, but why else would someone hate Christmas?
EDIT 3/14/15: This is REALLY late, but I just realized I never described what Miracle looks like. She's a grayish-yellow cat with a slightly brighter yellow tail(still grayish though). Her tail is a fluffy one, and sticks out in all directions. She has forest-green eyes, and dark gray paws.
