A ToS Christmas

The next day, it just so happened to be Christmas Eve. The group had to spend their money on weapons and items (and they found the repair dude, as Lloyd dubbed the man, so their money was also spent on paying him), so they didn't have any spare money for gifts. So, they spent the day right outside Flanoir, doing what can be best done.

Well, not really...

"Raine, why am I your target?!"

Genis' cry was answered with a snowball in the face and a loud laugh from Raine.

"RAINE!"

Getting sick of the continuous rain of Raine's wrath, the boy took a big scoop of snow and molded it with his bare hands, his fingers quickly numbing. Grasping the future projectile in his hand, Genis positioned himself like a baseball player. He was about to make his pitch...

When another snowball hit him in the back of the head.

"RAINE!!!" he yelled as a reflex. The perfectly made snowball had been dropped into the snow, shattered.

"It wasn't me!" yelled an accused and (actually) innocent professor.

"Oops, my bad!" echoed a voice.

"Zelos, you did that on purpose!"

"I most certainly did not." The hare-like child turned to see the Chosen of Tethe'alla, grinning in the most evil way.

"Zelos... just you--" The threat was also cut off by another snowball to the back of his head. He whipped around on his heel, but fell into the soft snow. "Stop it..." Genis started to whimper, face down in the snow.

As he chuckled, Zelos was also stopped by a snowball. "Stop picking on Genis!" the summoner yelled.

"My, my, Sheena... you'd better stop it, or I'll get you too!"

"Oh yeah?" Another snowball quickly was belted out and hit the vain red-head in the face.

"How did you?--OW! Hey--OW! You--OW!! OWW!" He quickly ducked, realizing she had been stocking up on ammo the whole time. And goddess knew how long she'd been stocking up...

"All right, Colette, I'll show you what a snowball is all about!" Lloyd took a soft snowball and threw it onto the angel, and she shook the snow out of her hair slightly.

"Hey!" she laughed lightly, forming her own snowball.

While everyone else had been (relentlessly) chucking balls of snow at each other, Regal and Presea sat a good distance away, watching the action.

"Isn't it a bit foolish to throw snow at one another?" Presea asked, indirectly to Regal.

"A little, I believe. I--" The last of Regal's line had been overlapped by a shout.

"Oh no, Lloyd!!" Colette was pawing at a very large pile of snow under a tree... the very spot Lloyd had been standing.

Hearing the cry, Sheena stopped chucking snowballs at Zelos. (Who was waving a white flag, but it wasn't seen because it blended right in with the snow.) "Colette? What's wrong?"

"I accidentally threw the snowball at the branches, and all this snow fell on Lloyd!!" Tears formed in the blonde's eyes as she continued to dig at the snow like a dog.

"Oh, damn it!" Running over, the summoner helped out Colette. Soon, Raine and Genis were helping out too. The others were just coming over as Lloyd's head was able to pop out from the snow.

"Th-that w-was a g-good one C-Colette-te..." he shivered. (A/N: Don't read that line out-loud... then he sounds retarded XD)

"Lloyd!" Colette hugged the brunette's head, and his face was buried in her arms and chest.

"C-Coweph! Imph fine!" There wasn't much struggling to be freed, since he really couldn't. "C-canph... freaph..."

"Colette! I think you're suffocating him!" Genis tugged the back of her shirt as the girl released. As he gasped for air, the twin swordsman's face was slowly filled with its normal hue. (Though not enough.)

"I'm so sorry Lloyd!"

"I-it's okay, r-really..." Raine, Sheena, Zelos and Regal dug him out of the giant snow pile. Sitting on the ground, he shook mildly, his clothes completely soaked.

"You should head back and get changed," Presea said.

"We should all get goin', the sun's ready to go to sleep soon," Zelos replied, looking towards the setting sun.

A/N: Ooh... ::shivers:: It's SOO ::freakin':: cold outside!! But so much for snow... just a few flurries on the ground. T-T Don't tell me it's a green Christmas this year...
