A/N: Let's make this short and sweet!
This is shortly before Zelos' betrayal, and after Lloyd finds out about his real father.
I know the story's short. But it's a Christmas fic! For God's sake, Christmas doesn't drag on for months... e.e;;
Disclaimer: I don't own anything somebody else does.

A ToS Christmas

We find our group flying from the link between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla after they had gone back to Sylvarant for Lloyd's socks. (Don't ask...)

"Whee!! I always love the Rheiards!!" Lloyd shouted, as Genis clung to his back.

"You are an idiot..." the half-elf sighed.

"Hey! They are fun, and you know it!!"

"I never denied it."

"Guys, stop fighting!" The professor yelled as Sheena clung to her, already tiring of their bickering. "Or we'll end up trying to settle the fight and get lost..."

"Again!" Sheena added.

"Besides, you two shouldn't fight as much as you do," Regal butted in.

"Yes, we must work as a team," Presea commented, being a companion to Regal.

"Heh, people who fight love each other," Zelos joked. "Right Sheena?"

"Shut-up!"

"Hey, would everyone stop commenting about the fight?!" Lloyd shouted.

"I haven't said a word..." Colette smiled innocently, who had "stuck" together with the Chosen.

"Well, except Colette, but she's always nice anyway."

They passed through the link thinger.

Genis smirked, and a familiar song came from his lips. "Lloyd and Colette, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S--"

"I'll toss you off this Rheiard if you don't stop it!" the swordsman threatened, slightly thrashing around the flying machine.

"No, wait, HEY!" The younger boy clung onto Lloyd for dear life. "Okay, okay, you'll kill me!"

"That's better." He grinned.

In that moment, a heavy gust of wind blew. All four Rheiards fought the wind like sparrows in a hurricane, and they settled back into place.

"The weather looks bad... we should land in the nearest area... which looks like Flanoir!" Raine turned the Rheiard towards Flanoir, and the others had no choice to follow.

"Ah, oh no!!" Losing control of the Rheaird, Lloyd and Genis braced themselves for a crash landing.

"Lloyd! Genis!!" The miscellanous shouts of terror came from the rest.

Several feet from crashing, Lloyd pulled Genis off the Rheaird, and they made a moderately hard impact on the snow as the Rheiard crashed completely. The others safetly landed nearby.

"Are you guys okay?" Zelos walked over as the two boys laid in the snow, slightly stunned.

"Y-yeah, we're good..." Genis sat up and rubbed his head. "Right Lloyd?" He turned around to examine Lloyd, unconscious. "Oh no! Lloyd, Lloyd!!"

"...I'm trying to sleep!" he pouted, taking a handful of snow and chucking it in Genis' face. The younger of the two wiped away the frozen water from his face.

"That's a relief... wow, it feels colder than usual." The blonde angel wrapped her arms around herself to keep herself warm. Her face had already started to numb, next coming fingers and toes.

"I'll keep you warm, hunny!" A very flirtious Zelos went to hug her when he was knocked down by Mr. Boot.

"Hands off, creep!" came a low growl from Lloyd.

"Ah, I sense jealously!"

Mr. Boot attacked once more. "Shut up!"

"Owww..."

"We should go inside the city and look for someone who can fix a Rheiard. And then shelter." Presea pointed towards the glowing city.

"Yes, you're right," the summoner said, brushing snow from her pants after falling from the Rheiard.

They walked into the city to find themselves in a different atmosphere. Colors of red, green, gold and silver shone everywhere, carolers' music rang through the streets, and bells jangled all throughout Flanoir.

"It's Christmas season already? Wow, time really got away from us." the professor said, taking in her surroundings.

"Amazing..." Genis' eyes shifted from one place to another.

"Lloyd, it's so beautiful!" Colette embraced Lloyd as his face started to blush.

"Ah, Christmas, what a glorious season..." Zelos' chest puffed up. "Presents, eggnog, cookies..." He looked at Sheena with a perverted grin. "Mistletoe..."

"Not on your life." Sheena made an attempt to kick his shin, but missed very poorly.

"A-ah!" Knees buckling under him, he fell and made a protective shield with his hands. (Or else did it in pain.) "You don't have to go that far as to kick me there!"

"Oops, I really didn't mean it..." Sheena started to feel bad, but brushed it off, reasoning with her own logic he deserved it for anything else he did.

"Shall we go find an inn first?" Regal said, and then looked down at Zelos. "As soon as the Chosen recovers."

"I-I'll be fine in a few moments..." Zelos squeaked a few words, causing everyone to laugh. "Haha, I'm glad my pain's... ::squeak:: amusing..." (A/N: He squeaked "so")

Giving up, the summoner offered her hand while turning her head the other way. "All right, come on, you stupid Chosen."

"Ah, thanks..." Accepting the help, he was awkwardly pulled up into a standing position. Then the group walked to the inn.

A/N: Poor Zelos...

I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!
