AN: So, this is my Christmas fic for 2013, starring MinatoxRandomGirls and MakotoxRandomGirls and FeMCxRandomGuys as well. XD In all, Minato and Makoto are twins here, but since Minato was late in school, he's a year late than Makoto. The three are siblings here, Minato and Makoto being the eldest and Minako the youngest here. They're all graduates of college. ^O^ Merry Christmas, everyone!

"Ne, Ato-nii, Koto-nii." I looked down to see my imouto imploring her big, reddish brown eyes at me. I could practically see my own emotionless silver ones on hers.

"Yeah, Minako?" My twin, Makoto, questioned first, seeing as he paused his reading of The Thirteenth Tale and settled it down on his lap. I gazed back at her and took off my earphones and motioned my head for her to continue. Minako twiddled her thumbs together and her face flushed pink, thinking of an embarrassing thing, I guess. "I was thinking of going to the Island and meet up with our friends, since Christmas is nearly here…" She started, twirling the curl of a side hair. I stared at her for a bit. Cute…

Makoto calmly smiled at her and reached forward to ruffle her long auburn hair, "I was thinking about that too. It has been a while since we last saw Mitsuru and the gang. Maybe we should bring along Shinjiro too." He said in reply, the both of us watching her blush like a fresh tomato. I recalled that she looked just like that the day Shinjiro finally took the guts of asking her hand in marriage. They'll be married next year, at March 5th. An engagement ring glinted from her finger as Minako brushed her bangs to the side of her face and smiled at us.

"Yeah, so, when will we get there?"

"Port Island is 3 days away from here, we can make it in time for Christmas and see Junpei's baby." Makoto nodded and snuggled himself back on the armchair, closing his eyes to doze off. I silently shrugged and placed back my headphones, wanting some peace and quiet. My imouto, however, remained seated and took a small notepad from the coffee table, ripping a small piece of paper and began folding it.

"What are you making?" Knowing her, winning the Origami contest in the neighborhood seemed almost of a big deal to her. She beamed at me and began to fold it into halves. "Paper cranes, I want to do 1000 of them…" Oh, so it's that time of the month already? Every year, Minako folds 1000 cranes before the year ends, and almost all of her wishes came true, such as that she and Shinjiro are getting married and that her waitress job proved to be successful and rewarding too. She kept us safe with her prayers, whilst Makoto would just smoke his life away and act like an adult would do.

I picked up her notepad and tore of a piece, since I wanted to help her out.

"I'll go help." I said simply as my twin smirked and rolled his eyes.
