When the kids ran into the room they placed the snacks on a small round coffee table. Each one quickly grabbing up their favorites off of the plate.
Heat Miser pours everyone a cup of hot chocolate to go with the treats as they take a seat. Heat decides to sit closer to the fire place while North takes to leaning against the bureau. Snow chooses the spot closest to the window and Inari picks the chair. The group just enjoying their spoils as they relax. Snow Miser making his hot chocolate more luke warm.
"Can you believe it's Christmas Eve already?" Heat Miser asks as he looks at the tree and gifts. " I really hope Santa will bring us something neat this year! I asked him for a pet lizard." He smiles.
"I'm really hoping for the gifts I asked for too! I've been an extra good boy, helping Mama out with whatever she needs. Mainly I want a really beautiful big mirror!" North smiles and boasts.
"I've been really good too! I'm sure we'll all get our gifts this year." Snow Miser smiles and waves a hand. "I asked for an ice cream maker...! I have so much ice it'd be nice to make my own!" He grins and looks to Inari. "What'd you ask for..?"
"A FOX! I wanted a cute fluffy fox to be my pet! I asked for a white one because it reminds me of snow. Which is another thing I wanted for Christmas, Snow!" Inari giggles and sips at her hot chocolate, taking a bite of her cookie.
"Well I could do that for you!" Snow Miser grins and jumps up.
"No you can't. You're no where near powerful enough! Leave that up to your, Dad.." Heat Miser quickly shoots down the idea. "I know you want to show off to your girlfriend but come on.."
Snow Misers face turns a deep red as his eyes widen kind of embarassed at both comments that Heat Miser dropped. North Wind just sips slowly at his Hot Chocolate as he smirks and looks between the unfolding drama.
"W-what do you mean show off?! It's not showing off if it's something I can do!" Snow huffs and opens up the window. "Ohh, just you watch." His eyes narrow as he holds his hands out at the sky and concentrates, starting to move them around as his power starts it snowing. "Hah! SEE? I did it! I did it!" He grins and jumps back, his hands placed on his hips.
"HE DID IT!" Inari jumps off of the chair after setting down her drink and hugs onto him. "You're the best, Snowy! I get a White Christmas! I wanna make snowmen, snow angels and do a snow ball fight tomorrow! Can we..!?" Gently she tugs at his shirt.
"Hehe, of course...! I'm sure there'll be plenty of time before the Christmas Feast tomorrow!" Snow Miser grins.
"Uhm, Snow, Brother dear...? I think you'd better take a second look at the snow fall. It seems like it's getting heavier...and faster..." North Winds eyes widen as he points at the window.
"What?!" Snow snaps his head around to look and swallows nervously. "O-ops...uh...uhm...uh-oh.." Snow Miser bites his bottom lip nervously and closes the window. "I'm sure it'll be fine! It's a snow storm after all! These things happen. It'll end...soon enough." He laughs nervously and tries to wave it off.
"I...I don't know... I'm telling mom!" Heat Miser gets up and starts to make his way toward the other room. Snow Miser quickly following after him to stop him. The two of them ending up in a bit of a fight right in front of their mother and the others. Thankfully this alerted Mother Nature and Father Winter to the issue. The two quickly trying to take control of the situation with the weather. Still it was too late and the damage had been done.
"I don't know if Santa Claus will be able to make it through this storm. " Father Winter looks at Mother Nature sadly. "There's going to be many disappointed children unless he finds a miracle to make it through that snowy weather."
"I'm sure he will...! Santa is a beacon of hope and I'm sure there has to be one out there for him too. Shining just a red and bright as his suit." Mother Nature sighs and looks at the kids who were now sad. "I'm sure Santa will find some way to deliver gifts. Even if I'm not sure about two of you getting any for your behavior.." She gives a slight look of disappointment.
Snow Miser gets up with tears in his eyes and looks up at the adults. "I'm going to my room. I'm sorry! I'm sorry I get it, I ruined Christmas...! All I wanted to do was make Inari's Christmas wish come true...but instead.. I ruined everyone's Christmas..! It's all my fault!" Sobbing he runs off.
Later that night there's a knock at Snow Miser's bedroom door. Snow turns to look at the door before turning over in his bed. "...I don't want to talk right now.." In his hand he plays with a fox he made out of magical-non-melting ice for Inari. He'd been debating for the last few hours of giving it to her but he wasn't sure that she or anyone would want to see him.
Mother Nature slowly opens the door and walks in and tsks. "That answer won't do, Snowy. I need you to come downstairs with me right now." She speaks gently but firmly to her son.
Snow Miser sighs and gets up off of his bed and starts following his mother downstairs. He's playing with the fox he made in his hands nervously until he gets to the lounge. His eyes widening as he sees everyone with their gifts and Santa standing there.
"S-Santa!? Y-you made it?" He asks excitedly as he looks on with a smile at his brothers enjoying their gifts and Inari hugging her fox. He quickly makes his way over to her and smiles. "Y-your fox came! I'm so happy for you, Inari!" His smile widens as he watches her. "How did you pull it off Santa? I'm ...sorry for causing you so much trouble... I didn't mean to.."
"Ho Ho Ho, it's alright, Snowy. Accidents happen, but, let's not let this accident happen again, Hm?" He winks. "I had help from one of my newest reindeer, Rudolph! He used his shiny nose to help me make it through the storm." Santa laughs and pats his head, giving him his gift. "Since you said you were sorry and it was an accident, here's your gift. Now I must be off! I have other children to visit tonight! Merry Christmas!" With that he makes his way back to his sleigh and takes off into the night.
"Oh yeah! Inari...! I ... I made this for you..." Snow Miser makes his way over to her and hands her the sculpture. "Merry Christmas...! I ... made it in case you didn't get your fox.."
The girls eyes light up as she takes it and hugs it. " I love it, Snowy! Thank you!" The little girl leans up and kisses his cheek. "You're the sweetest. I'll cherish it forever, won't I, Flurry?" Inari laughs and boops noses with her fox friend.
Coming out of the memories Indi finds herself kneeling by the tree and staring at a small arctic fox ornament. A voice calling out to her from behind.
"Indi..? Sugar Plum, are you okay...?" Snow Miser stands in the door way questioning a little quietly as he slowly walks over to her. His eyes filled with curiosity, concern, his stomach and heart turning with many emotions. What had he just seen the end of..? "What...was that..?"
"Inari...was...showing me something. I'm fine..!" Indi gets up and walks over to him, hugging him tightly. "Some memories. You could see them too..?"
"Y-yeah..we'll talk about it later. Let's ...let's get going! We don't want to worry Mother or keep her waiting. She can become impatient rather quickly." Snow Miser wraps his arm protectively around her as he tries to laugh it off abit. His eyes glancing back at the room once more before the two of them leave.
