Vega, Lance, and Wanda lounged around in the living room of the Brotherhood house. Pietro and toad had gona out to do some last minute shopping and Freddy was where else, in the kitchen. Vega, as usual, was sitting on the back of the couch with a sketch book in hand, Wanda was laying on her stomach below her reading, and Lance was sitting in a chair by the fire trying to sleep, to little avail. Every now and then a crash from the kitchen would wake him up. Christmas music, rap, rock, and pop, and all that good stuff mind you, was playing on the radio since Vega had gotten mad at the Brotherhood's bottomless pit for eating half of the pies she had baked ealier, and blew up the tv, not that there would have been anything on.
"Vega."Lance finally said turning to his younge sister.
"Yeah?"
"It's Christmas eve and you haven't even made an effort to decorate this place, usally you're the one decorating for the holidays."
"It's called now I live in a place where decorations won't last more than a day, and I'm totally broke."
"I probably don't want to know why."
"You don't."the two girls said going back to what they were doing.
*CRASH!!!*
"Ah, life at the Brotherhood Boarding House, never changes."Vega laughed as Pietro raced upstairs without so much as a sideways glance,"That was....."
"Different."Wanda finished.
"He didn't even notice the mistletoe over Vega."Lance said.
"MISTLETOE!"Vega looked up to see a clump of mistletoe above her head,"Wanda, I think I just found our missing mistletoe."
"What?"Lance looked at Vega with interest.
"We bought out every store in Bayville with the stuff so we didn't have to suffer with Toad and Pietro all day tomorrow."Wanda said flatly, hex bolting a few green spots she'd suddnely noticed.
"Someone call me?"Toad said, hopping in.
"No, we didn't Frogger."Vega sighed, making sure there was no mistletoe nearby, for the radio's sake.
"Aw, you found my suprise."he said, noticing the burnt plant remains scattered on the floor.
"Toad, go to bed, it's Christmas tomorrow and you'll need your rest, trust me."Vega sighed.
"Fine."he hopped upstrairs.
"We all better get some sleep tonight, I get the feeling you two are up to something."Lance said getting up,"Freddy, stop blowing the kitchen up and go to bed!"

Amanda walked down the street to the Brotherhood Boarding House. She was about to knock on the door when it opened to reveal a very sleepy looking Vega.
"Hey."she said weakly as she was let in.
"You ran away."Vega said latly.
"Yeah, I got in this huge fight with my parents, and right after they left for their business trip I left, I'm not going back."
"Oh, real cute Christmas present."Vega said dryly,'You're gonna get a much better one in the morning.'
"Oh well, I was planning on spending Christmas at the institue anyway."she laughed as Vega led her upstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Vega tried to sit up, but couldn't. Her eyes focused and she realized something was holding her down. She tried to look, vines? Vines were wrapped around her entire body, she guess Wanda was in the same perdiciment, as was the wolf asleep on the ground below her.
"Amanda, wake up."she hissed, struggling to get free,"Amanda!"
"Huh, what?"Amanda mumbled, sitting and looknig towards Vega and jumped,"what the heck?!"
In fact, the whole room was covered in vines, flowers, and all that good stuff.
"Merry Christmas you're a mutant."Vega hissed.
"Now get us out of here."a very annoyed Artemis growled from the floor.
"Ok, I'm not sure how..."
"You control the plants."Wanda growled, get them off of us.
Amanda closed her eyes and focused, and the vines unwrapped themselves from around the two girls, and the wolf.
"Wow, I'm a mutant."
"Yep, Merry Christmas, Thorn."Vega smiled getting up,"You can manipulate plants, look at your hair."
Her hair had developed green stripes, and was sprouting flowers. She also realized, much to her shock, she had green and gold faerie wings!
"Merry Christmas."she laughed.
Vega looked at the clock, 7:30,"Better wake the boys up, the X-geeks are probably already up."she looked at her clothes,"Better changer first though."
Her loose black sweat pants and sports bra suddenly became light blue bell bottoms with white sparkles and a light blue sleeveless, mid-drift shirt with white flames on it. Light blue elbow-length, finger-less gloves appreaded on her hands and her hair brushed itself and the top layer pinned itself back.
Amanda nodded in approval of the outfit, as did Wanda. Vega walked out of the room to give the wakeup call. First stop, Toad's room. She walked in and ippediately regretted not plugging her nose first.
'Oh well.'she thought walking over to his bed.
She gave him a gentle shake,"Ten more minutes mommy."he mumbled.
"One, I'm not your mommy and two, it's christmas, WAKE UP!!"she said dumping a bucket of cold water on him.
He shot up and turned to Vega,"Think you could yell any louder?"
"Get dressed sleepy, it's christmas mornning and we need to get out of here as fast as we can."Vega said dryly.
BAMF And she was gone.
She landed in Lance's room, who was already waking up.
"Merry Christmas bro, get up and get downstrairs."she laughed.
BAMF
"What was that all about?"Lance asked.
Last stop, Freedy, forget Pietro. She landed on his stomach, not that he noticed. Her bucket of ice water, whick had somewhow refilled itself, was dumped on his head.
BAMF
"AH!! I'm awake!"
~*~Half an hour later~*~
Everyone is gathered in the living room, all wonder (with the acception of Wanda) what's goin' on.
"Are we gonna get an explination or not?"Pietro asked, he had somehow managed to wake up with Vega, which usally didn't happen.
"Yeah."Amanda said finishing broushing out her hair.
"Get in the jeep."Vega said dryly,"Just trust me."
"You aren't driving."Wanda said flatly,"I just finished recovering from last week."
"Fine."Vega hissed,"Let's go."
"Why do I get a bad feeling about this?"Lance asked.
"Oh, and Pietro, you're running."
"WHAT?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aurora:Well, Kail and Yuga are still at it
Pietro:Why do i have to run
Vega:Cause your a pain in the butt
Disclaimer:(yeah, I did it again) You've got mud on your face, you big disgrace, kickin' your can all over the place!! We will, we will ROCK YOU!!! *suddenly an earthquake hits*
Everyone in the room:LANCE!!!!!
Lance:Eep!
"Vega."Lance finally said turning to his younge sister.
"Yeah?"
