Blitzkreig50889: alright, here ya go everyone! You wanted a Kai/Tala friendship fic, so here's one for ya's!

Kai: and someone kill me now!

Tala: why? You see a preview of this fic already?

Kai: yeah. You're not going to like it.

Tala: (shrugs) we'll see.

Blitzkreig50889: (clears throat) you two done now?

Both: Yes.

Blitzkreig50889: good. Now one of you or better yet, both of you, do the disclaimer.

Both: (sigh) blitzkreig50889 does not own beyblade or any of its characters. She just owns her plot ideas and any OCS that may pop up in her fics. Enjoy the chapter.

Snowball Fight

Snow fell quietly to the ground. For the two boys sitting outside in the snow and staring up at the sky, it was a symbol of purity, a starting over of their previously rough lives. Neither spoke and both sat in the snow as if they were a set of twins, although neither looked anything alike.

"Hey, are you two intending to sit out here all day?" a voice teased from behind them. "You'll be a set of snowmen if you stay out here too long."

Neither boy paid any attention to the speaker, who happened to be Ian. Ian let out a sigh and closed the door. They'd come inside eventually. After a moment, one of them finally spoke.

"Ian's right, you know. We could end up as a bunch of snowmen. Well, more specifically, you could."

A small smile crossed the other person's face. "You wish, Ivanov. Just remember which one of us nearly ended up dead last time," Kai, the other boy managed to tease.

Tala, the one being teased, let out a growl. "Says you, Hiwatari! Just remember that the cold weather happens to be my friend and gives my element the strength needed to almost beat your ass around the block."

"You wish!" Kai retorted. Tala scowled, but said nothing in return. Bored, Kai flopped back into the snow causing Tala to raise an eyebrow.

"What the hell are you up to?" Tala queried after a moment. "Making a snow angel?"

Kai grinned. "Hell no! I'm not in elementary school anymore. I'm seeing how long it will take for the snow under me to melt."

Tala groaned. Sometimes Kai could be so strange. "You're weird," he told Kai after a moment.

"Same to you, T."

Tala bit back the urge to roll his eyes in exasperation. Kai could be a pain at times.

"So, Tala, what are you intending to do for the holidays this year?"

Tala blinked at Kai's question. The holidays? He'd forgotten all about them! "Nothing," he answered quietly.

"I don't believe that."

Tala glanced back over at Kai. "Are you purposely being irritating?"

"What do you think?"

Tala fought the urge to do an anime fall. "You're hopeless."

"So are you, but then again, I figure that's why we get along so well."

Tala, who had looked away from Kai, looked back at Kai in shock. "What?"

"You heard me Ivanov. Now, shut up. You're disturbing the peace."

Tala scowled again, but shut up all the same. For the next five minutes, neither said anything or moved in the slightest. After a moment, Tala grew bored and made a snowball and threw it at Kai.

Kai jumped as the cold snow hit his shoulder. The shock of the cold was more than enough to force him upright. "What the hell?"

"Wake up Hiwatari," Tala teased. "You really do need to stop dozing off when you're outside. People may take advantage of that."

"Like you just did with the snowball?" Kai asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, just like I did with the snow-"Tala broke off as he realized Kai had tricked him into admitting that he had thrown the snowball. "Jerk," He finished lamely.

Kai just laughed. "Got ya!" With those words, he made his own snowball and tossed it at the now running for cover, Tala.

Irritated, Tala threw one back. In a matter of moments, the two friends had managed to start a house and town wide snowball fight with their own teammates and the people on the street. How that had happened, no one would ever know. All anyone that was an outside would remember was seeing the legendary Russian duo laughing at one another for the first time in a long time. Hey, even two friends as stoic as Kai and Tala needed a laugh every now and then!

Blitzkreig50889: alright, what do you think? I know this one isn't as holiday centered as the others were, but they were mentioned, so I figured this counted as a holiday fic.

Tala: Kai, why did this fic bother you?

Kai: were you not paying attention? Laughing? Us? It's preposterous!

Tala: but Kai, we did laugh.

Kai: (anime fall) Tala! You weren't supposed to tell anyone about that!

Tala: oops.

Blitzkreig50889: hmmm. I'll have to write more fics with you guys laughing in them more often.

Kai: NO!

Blitzkreig50889: quit being a spoilsport and help Tala close this fic up.

Kai: (groans) alright. Please remember to review and Happy Holidays.

Tala: that the best you can do Kai? Jeez, you make the dead look more lively. Remember to review everyone and Happy Holidays!

Kai: (rolls eyes)

Blitzkreig50889: okay…well, hope you liked the chapter and I'm going to get out of here before those two get into one of their infamous fist fights.

Kai and Tala: (are busy fighting with one another as the authoress quickly leaves the room and the readers review).
