Winter Break Time!

The Hunters at the Maverick Hunter HQ never had any breaks. X, Zero, Axl, Alia, Layer, and Pallete had to work all day and night. X never had much sleep, Zero had to fight Mavericks who attacked and he had to fightall day and night, Axl, same with X, also had a lack of sleep, Alia, Layer, and Pallette had to work all day and night as well to navigate others. Everyone were exhausted. But Signas couldn't let anyone take a break, because there would be heavy casualties. But nothing went wrong for about a month or so, and Signas STILL didn't let them go.

It was now winter, everyone took winter breaks, but the Hunters and the Navigators. Signas, already feeling guilty, announced that everyone should take breaks.

"Finally!" Axl groaned as he leaned his head to the wall from his lack of sleep.

But they weren't going anywhere; they were staying in the HQ, just not working (hey, they don't have homes but the HQ, you know!)

X went for a walk on the snow. It was peaceful at break times, nothing was wrong. People seemed happy. But when break time was over, he knew he had to fight again. For now, enjoy the winter…

"Yo X, eat this!" Zero called from behind, and threw a snowball at him.

"Hey! No fair!" X moaned as he made his own snowball. He threw it back at Zero for revenge, and they were having snowball fight for about am hour or so.

But after all those snowballs were all around them, they were starting to catch cold. They started shivering.

"L-l-l-l-l-l—l-l-let's j-j-just g-g-go b-back inss-s-s-s-side!" X shivered.

Axl, noticing the two from outside, opened the door for them.

"Uh… you two had a snowball fight or something?" Axl asked.

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-we diiiiiiiiiiid!" Zero shivered as well.

Axl said nothing, and just looked at them. He lead them to the cafeteria and made them some coffee.

"Th-thanks A-A-Axl: X stuttered, and drank his coffee.

The part where X went like; "A-A-" made Axl think he would sneeze instead, so he sighed of relief that X wouldn't sneeze into his coffee.

Now that they finished their coffee, the cold seemed to have gone away.

"Thanks Axl, we owe ya one." Zero thanked.

"Now that you two are better…" Axl stopped, and had some snowballs he saved in the freezer.

He threw them at Zero and X, but luckily, Zero sliced them with his Saber, and formed a snowball and threw it back at Axl.

"Okay fine, you win." Axl groaned.

"You're damn right we are. Hey, what's this, a shopping list?" Zero asked as he picked up a paper having a list of groceries.

"Oh, that? That was a shopping list Alia requested us to buy." Axl replied.

"Hmm… lets see… uh huh… uh huh…" X said as he looked at the list.

But they were having no choice. The Hunters had to go buy them… if it was for the girls. They used their Ride Chasers on the snow to get to the store. It took them just five minutes to get the things on the list, because Alia wrote things VERY clear. Zero had to carry the grocery bags while X was the one paying. After they got back to the HQ, Alia seemed angry.

"What is it, Alia? Why so grumpy?" X asked.

"You're late. There are Hunters who are staying here as well, you know! Now they're just hungry, when lunch time is at 12:30 PM!" Alia scolded.

They looked at the clock, which said 1:30 PM. They were one hour late.

Zero just gave her the bags and she carried them all they way to the cafeteria. Still, the break they were having still made them busy. X went back to his room to take a rest from the snowball fight and the shopping, while Axl and Zero went to the cafeteria to eat their lunch they bought. It was well deserved. But to tease Zero, Axl threw some bits of his food at him, and Zero got pissed, and ran around to chase him, while cursing. Axl was crying for help, but Zero showed no mercy, and kept on chasing and cursing at him. He was chasing him for hours and hours and hours, and Alia stopped him.

"Quit it, Zero! Stop chasing him!" Alia said to Zero.

"Fine……………" Zero sighed.

It was now evening.

After everyone had dinner, X took another rest, because he was still tired from all the lack of sleep. Meanwhile, Zero and Axl were playing video games.

"B! Press B! Now!" Zero said as he tried to take the controller from Axl.

"I'm trying, I'm trying! Crash Man is so hard! And my Mega Buster shots keep missing! What the hell!" Axl complained.

"Gimme the controller! Give it, give it!"

"Wait, not your turn yet!"

Can you please be quiet? People are watching a movie right now!" Layer complained.

"Sorry." Both Zero and Axl apologized, and turned off the Playstation 2.

"Let's just hope this is going to be a GOOD Winter Break. If it isn't, I am so gonna get mad, I can guarantee you." Zero said.

"Well, we still have some days left, heh heh." Axl laughed.

"Very funny, wise guy. YAWN! I'm calling this a day." Zero yawned..

"Same here. Ho boy." Axl yawned as well.

It was a rough Winter break day, for a first day, that is. But lets just hope they have a better day :D.
