Christmas special

(Before you read this, this chapter has LOTS of spoilers for Foop and Peaches relationship in the future. So if you want to see their relationship build up then don't read this I guess?? Plus, this chapter isn't entirely canon either. In the current story, they are nowhere near Christmas, it's like somewhere at the start of the year. But this chapter does have some canon points throughout it so this chapter might be slight canon in the future of the story. Basically, this is not right after chapter 3. That's about it. Enjoy! Or not.)

A glow of light filled his eyes as they slowly fluttered open. He blinked for a while until focus, and sat up. The first thing he saw was his room. Grey brick walls, a few belongings here and there, and pictures that him and Peach drew up on the wall. He hopped off his bed and floated to the half open curtain. When he opened it, the person right outside scared him so much he screamed and fell to the ground.

"FOOP!!"

"AUGHHHHH!!"

SLAM!!*

Right outside her window was Peach! It looked like she was desperately clinging onto the window. Once Foop got up again, he immediately opened the panels which made Peach eruptedly fall off.

"AUGH, what are you doing here?!"

She scrambled back up to his windowsill and poked her head through.

"ITS CHRISTMAS!!" She shouted excitedly, but possibly too loud, because her friend just put a finger to her lips.

"Shhh!! Don't be too loud, my parents might hear you!" He hissed at her. "Plus, how do you even know what Christmas is?!"

"Mali told me!" She chirped.

He mumbled. "Wow, I didn't know a goth like that would be fond of such a happy thing..."

Suddenly a warm pair of hands were cupped around his cheeks, which suprised him and made him blush a bit. Obviously it was still her, but he automatically put his hands on hers.

"Aren't you excited??"

"UGH, no! Christmas is such a sickening thing! Giving gifts to others that don't deserve them, singing stupid songs... Mistletoe.. aUGH!" He shivered, just at the thought of it. As Peaches hands slipped off, he continued to think. "Plus, did you just come to Anti Fairy World to tell me that it's Christmas Day?"

"Not just that! I'm going to a Christmas party with Mali, and I've never been to one before! I didn't even know Christmas existed before she told me everything! She was awfully happy about it. Also awfully descriptive about the mistletoe.."

He raised an eyebrow. "And.. whos hosting this party?"

She put a finger to her lips. "Hmmm... some guys called Carlos and... Window!"

"AAAAUGH!! NOT THEM!! WHY COSMO AND WANDA!!" He yelled, grasping his head with his hands.

"Cosmo and Wanda? Oh, must've heard it wrong.. also, weren't you just telling me a few minutes ago to be quiet because of your parents?"

He said nothing, but just gave her a "shut up" look. They both stood silent for a while until Peach spoke up.

"So? Are you going? I promise you'll have a good time!" She clasped her hands together.

He sighed. "Fine... I'll go just because you're going. I normally wouldn't agree to something like this.."

"YAY!" She cheered. It was hard to hide it, but her happiness made him smile a bit. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out the window in a swift motion, so he wouldn't get hurt.

And for the first time, he asked excitedly "So when does this thing start?"

She picked him up again and put him on her back. "Well, you woke up pretty late, so... NOW!!" She said, while jumping and soaring up into the air.

"Why'd you wake up so late anyway? Did you stay up late?"

"Yeah, I guess I did. I was up reading this really interesting story. Most of the time I was just re-reading chapter 12 all over again, because it was SOOO good..."

"What happened in chapter 12?"

"I-I uhhh... spoilers..!"

They had been soaring in the air for a while now, about 20 minutes. To stop the silence from growing they would chat about life and tell jokes to one another. Until Peach looked down.

"Ah! There it is!"

"H-Huh? What is- aAAAAAGHHH!!"

She suddenly took a massive dip which nearly threw Foop completely off. He grabbed on for dear life until he fell into her body again. She heard him panting and felt slightly concerned.

"You ok buddy?"

"DONT do that EVER AGAIN."

She could hear the fear and frustration in his voice, so she quickly apologised. But at the time they were a few feet from the ground. She remembered to land SAFELY this time, and touched the ground with ease. Foop slid off her back and tried to regain focus after the ride. Once he did he looked infront of him, where he saw a... massive... MANSION??

"Since when did that couple have a mansion??" He shouted, dumbfounded.

"I dunno!" She replied. "Ive only met them once or twice! I've known nothing about their personal life."

"How did you even know it was the place anyway?"

"Mali just told me it was a gigantic house with Christmas decorations everywhere! I think I nailed it."

With her saying that, he decided to get an actual good look at the place. He's heard of the place a few times before. Apparently it was a massive mansion kinda like Cupid's, but it didn't really belong to anybody. Anybody could just rent it and throw any kind of party there. I don't think there's any point, but it's cool I guess. It had a massive doorway that was lined with Christmas lights, too many windows to count, and of course millions of Christmas decorations as its blanket. 'They must've really went out this year...' he thought to himself.

"Are we going in yet?" Her voice interrupted.

"Oh yes, very so-"

Wait a second.

he was an anti fairy.

There's probably a million fairies there.

Was even allowed inside??

WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING??

"Foop? Why are your hands over your face again?"

His words got muffled while speaking. "UAAGHH, IM AN IDIOT!!" He sobbed. "WHY DID I THINK ABOUT COMING HERE? WHY WAS I SO STUPID?? THEYRE GONNA KICK ME OUT JUST BY LOOKING AT ME AND I'LL BE A FRAUD!!"

"FOOP!! Calm down!! You're overreacting again!! It was my fault for persuading you to come!"

He removed his small hands which were slightly wet and burning from his tears. She was slightly shocked from seeing this. Since they've first met, he had become more open about his feelings, and sometimes she felt like it was her fault, but she did her best to help him. But I don't wanna spoil anything, do I? "O-Of course you invited me, that's just YOU! That's not your fault! I'm supposed to be the smart one here and I didn't even think!!"

"Hey... you're atleast smarter than me! I learn from you everyday! But if you're really not smart, well... we'll be two half's of a whole idiot!" She extended a hand towards him.

He sniffed, but smiled. She always knew how to cheer him up. It was something he used to hate, but he's gotten used to it now. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, but she squealed and flinched back holding her hand.

"O-Oh right! Acid tears..." He suddenly remembered. It was embarrassing that he forgot at a time like this.

"Cmon, lets just go in. If we get caught then we can just throw a smoke bomb and run away."

"What if I just.. hid under your cape?"

"Eh, that could work too."

And finally after the painful and useless conversations the writer had to write, they opened the double doors and stepped in.

My god, it was amazing! Even better than the outside of the mansion! Suprisingly, there was a lot of people. And I mean ALOT. Imagine a Christmas festival in your neighbourhood. Yeah. Though most of them they haven't seen before, they looked around and saw many fairies that they knew. Wanda and Cosmo were talking to some other fairies. Edith and Gizmo were quietly talking near a giant Christmas tree, while their antis were infront of the karaoke box screaming the lyrics of whatever Christmas song came on. Heh, gotta love that couple. Poof was surprisingly alone, sitting on the stairs and twiddling his fingers. Foop still gagged at the sight. Before they could take a few steps forward, an unknown being flung themselves into a hug with Foop and Peach, which made them scream out of suprise.

"Heh, calm down guys, it's just me!"

"Mali..?" They both said, recognising their voice.

"MALI!!" Peach shouted while she gave Mali another hug.

"Hey, calm down. I'm not big of a shocker."

Foop stepped forward. "Yes you are!! When Peach first told me, I didn't really believe a person like you would be here. B-But, here you are! I honestly had to see it to believe it. No offence Peach.."

The adult raised an eyebrow. "Hey, I'm not completely heartless yknow."

"Hey, I'm not either!" He shouted back, remembering all the times she assumed things of him. This just made her chuckle.

"My god. You're adorable."

"NO I'M NOT!!"

This just made her laugh even more. "Whatever you say, pipsqueak." She said floating off, while the anti baby was growling and mumbling in frustration.

"Hey, you should appreciate that she thinks you're cute." He heard Peach whisper to him.

"Shut up." He hissed back.

"Whatever, lets roam around for a while! Let's go see the antis because they're probably not gonna kick you out."

"Huh. Guess they do invite antis. But I'm 100% sure that uncle Cosmo and auntie Wanda didn't make the invitations because they would never invite a species like mine."

They continued to make their way to the karaoke box, but the blue baby was still a little paranoid and hid behind Peach multiple times. She kept assuring him the positive facts but he still didn't trust her completely. Once they arrived Anti Edith and Anti Gizmo were sitting down chatting quietly. Their throats probably hurt from screaming too much. Anti Gizmo was even drinking a bottle of water. "Hey!" Peach said, which made them turn to them. At the sight of them a giant grin grew on Anti Edith's face, showing all her razor sharp teeth.

"Heya fellas! Watcha kiddos doin' here?" She said.

"I honestly dunno." Foop replied. "Probably just to crash the party, if Peach wants to do it." He smirked at her and surprisingly she smiled back. "But what are you doing here?" He asked back.

"Not a proper reason, really." Anti Gizmo replied. "We just came her to scream Christmas songs so we annoy other people." He sheepishly smiled. Foop couldn't help but laugh out loud to this. Now THAT was a reason to come to a party. But he then realised Anti Edith's gaze was wandering away from the current situation. She then looked at him and said. "Is your pink little friend supposed to be with you?"

"Yes..?"

"Because she just ran away."

He urgently turned around to see that she really was gone.

"OH GOD!! Who knows all the types of trouble she could get into! Without ME! I'll miss all the mayhem! Cya guys!" He said, as he quickly flew off giving a goodbye wave to the couple. He darted through the huge crowds until someone accidently crashed into him, which made him fall flat onto his face. Anger started to rise up in him as he jolted up to see who got in his way. "WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

He was shocked at who was floating there, but it made his blood boil more than anything.

"Poof??"

The small purple baby could tell that he had made a terrible mistake, and was stuttering out apologies that would only come out as "Poof poof".

"YOU IDIOT CHILD, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!! ARE YOU BLINDED FROM SEEING YOUR FACE IN THE MIRROR TOO MANY TIMES?!"

The Anti started to shout even more in pure anger, as the other whimpered and tried to back away slowly. Sometimes Foop would actually succeed in terrifying the poor baby. But something caught his eye as he started to look upward, and a silly grin grew on his face. Foop noticed this and was offended for Poof ignoring him, but decided to look up aswell.

"Wait, what are you?-"

Mistletoe.

What was hanging above them was mistletoe.

Poof started to laugh as if it was a joke, but Foops body started to warm up and he started to blush like mad. Poof floated a few centimetres towards Foop, but the anti immediately backed away and started to sweat. He knew that Poof wouldn't actually mind to kiss him...

"M-MISTLETOE?? A-ARE YOU SERIOUS?? N-No, this cant be! I-I- I DONT KNOW IF TWO MALES OR ANTIS AND OPPOSITES ARE SUPPOSED TO KISS WHEN UNDER- AAUGHH!! But one things for sure, I am NOT KISSING YOU!!"

His face was the darkest blue it could possibly reach, as he crossed his arms and faced away trying to hide his flustered look. And that was when he heard familiar laughter from above. He looked up even further and, of course, it was Peach. He was laughing her heart out like it was the funniest thing she'd seen her whole life. And in her hand, she was holding a fishing rod with mistletoe on the end of the line. Of course. He flew up, grabbed her cheek and squeezed until it hurt.

"THIS WAS YOUR STUPID IDEA?!"

"OW!" She screamed, but quickly bit his small arm which made him shriek and let go. But she then went back to laughing like nothing just happened. Of course, he was used to this behaviour. "Ahaha!! Hehe, I'm SO SO sorry!! Mali said if I did it then she would give us extremely cool Christmas presents!"

Of course.

"Ugh, gullible as always.." he mumbled. Just as he said that someone took away the fishing rod and ruffled the feathers on Peaches hat. It was Mali. Again.

"My god, that was gayest and cutest thing I've ever seen in my life!" She said between laughs.

The anti blushed again. "You're not into selfcest, are you?!" He spouted. She just burst out laughing.

"No, no I'm not. That's gross."

"You're gross."

"What's selfcest?"

"Quiet, Peach."

"I'll tell you when you're older."

"MALI!!"

At this point Mali was wheezing.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD??"

"Stupid, you are a child! You're like, ONE year old!"

"I AM NOWHERE NEAR THE MENTAL AGE OF ONE!"

"YEAH YOU ARE! You thought a triangle was 90 degrees because it was global warming!"

Truthfully, he expected Peach to laugh at that, but... she didn't. He turned around again, and...

SHE WAS GONE! AGAIN!!

"God, she ran off again! But I still strongly agree that that triangle was 90 degrees because of global warming. Cya moron!" He said with a goodbye wave once again, but in return, Mali gave him a rather.. rude gesture. He rubbed it off as he flew into a different direction. 'I hope that's the last time she appears for the night..' he thought to himself. It was the second time she had popped up and it was starting to get annoying. He somehow got to the top of the stairs so he could see the whole party together. There was honestly more people than he expected, and it made him quite nervous. He was eyeing the crowds for a familiar pink hat, and saw one in no time. Oh god, she was talking to Cosmo and Wanda! How come she didn't pick up on him OBVIOUSLY despising them?

"Whatever, I'll just stay here. I don't wanna waste my time or even BE in their presence." He whispered to himself. He stood there for a while watching, until he SWORE he saw Cosmo sneeze and say "Sorry I'm allergic to peaches."

How dare he..?

All she did was laugh, but say goodbye and slip away like a lizard. She came up the stairs without noticing him, but when she reached the top he stopped her.

"Oh, hey."

"Ugh, why do you keep running off?"

"Hehe, sorry! I can't help myself! Everything is just really exciting, yknow?"

He was silent. "..."

"Well, it's gonna be exciting when I BURN THIS WHOLE PLACE DOWN!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!" He laughed in evilness, throwing his arms into the air. Peach just blinked.

"Hey cmon, we've only been here for a while!"

"But it feels like HOURS to me!!" He groaned. "Can I just set the tree on fire already? I wanna go home and read the story!!"

"NO!! This is fun!!"

Suddenly, a purple light started glowing from the antis small hand. It then formed into... a flame? But it looked dangerous, is what she knew.

"Oh yeah? Wanna bet?"

"Foop, don't you dare."

"I WILL do it."

"N-"

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!"

And now the childish play began.

The anti baby swiftly made a turn and jumped off the balcony railing, looking like immediate death. But he's an anti fairy, so he can fly. Peach made a run for the staircase and jumped onto the railing, sliding down it like kids do in every single movie known to man. When she reached the end, she jumped off trying to land on her feet, but landed right on her face instead. Youch, that could've given her a blood nose. But when she got up, she kept running. She didn't want her friend setting the tree on fire! They haven't even gotten to the gifts yet! After zooming past several people, she saw the giant Christmas tree, but honestly it wasn't easy to miss. Of course, Foop was already there, teasing his hand near the tree. One wrong move and the thing could go off completely.

"NOOO!!" She shouted, as she ran faster than she's ever ran before, and pounced on Foop. They tumbled forward a few metres and flopped onto the floor, laughing. (When Peach touched Foop, the flame went out, so she's not hurt or anything.)

He huffed. "Now that was fun." He put a hand to his face but felt something... moist? He checked his hand, and... oh god. It was blood. But it wasn't his blood. He sat up and looked over to Peaches face. She had a blood nose. And she was acting like it wasn't even there!

"Oh my god, PEACH! You've got a blood nose, havent you noticed??"

"Huh?" She sat up, and put a finger under her nose which was immediately drenched in blood.

"O-Oh! Oh, that must've been from when I face planted on the solid marble floor."

He sighed. "Here, Let me help." He poofed up a bag of ice using his bottle and held it in one hand. He pressed his hand against her chest and said "Lay down again." She did as she was told while trying to rub away the blood that kept pouring out of her nose like a faucet, but it just smudged her face even more. "Don't do that, you're making it worse!" He nagged, as he slapped her hand away and used a slightly damp tissue (that came out of nowhere) to get rid of the smudges. He then put the bag of ice on her forehead, which made her flinch and her whole body shiver. He then layed down next to her again, with half closed eyes.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"Huh?"

"You helped me with the blood nose! Don't tell anyone, but blood actually freaks me out. I was trying my best to act calm then. But I'm not dying of blood loss! What would I do without you?"

He snorted. "Well, you'd be dead for sure."

This made her laugh. She turned her head to look at him, but also trying not to tip the ice bag over.

"Yknow what? I don't need a Christmas present this year."

He looked at her. "How come..?"

"I have you, Foop! You really are all that I need. Whatever happens I want to be by your side. Even if you die you'll be dying in my arms."

He blushed quite a lot at his, suprisingly. The last part even made him tear up a bit. He mumbled something with a flustered smile, trying to look away to hide his face.

"Foop, yknow I cant hear you when you mumble~" She teased. He awkwardly laughed that was obviously filled with bashfulness. She giggled at this. She put her head down again trying to relax. Then she noticed something.

Was that mistletoe always there?

She sat straight upright and took the ice bag off her head.

"Hey Foop."

"Yeah?" He sat up.

"Look! Its the mistletoe!"

"Ew!" He gagged.

But then he felt a small peck on his cheek. His face immediately turned a dark blueberry colour.

Did- DID SHE JUST KISS ME?!

"It's something Mali told me about the mistletoe!" She chirped, as if it was a normal thing.

But alas, no response.

"Foop?"

Strangley, he found himself frozen, with the most flustered face he has ever had. Even more than the Poof situation.

She put a hand on his soft, blue head.

"Foop??"

"Mali, I think the mistletoe broke him!!"

From above a balcony, a goth looking fairy was holding her hand out which was smoking with magic. The mistletoe long below her was burning with the same magic, and was perched above two kids. One pink, one blue.

She smirked. "Hey, told them I'll give them the best gifts ever"

End.
