"Oh I just hate taking down the Christmas decorations!" Lust moaned as she packed away ornaments. "Gluttony, please don't eat that…"

"But, Lust, it looked good," Gluttony said. He was eating one of the tree ornaments that looked like a gingerbread man. More than half of it was already gone.

"Blinky lights!" Wrath yelled trying to pull the plug from its socket and making the lights blink. BZZT! "Ow…"

Yes, it was that time of year again, time to take down the Christmas decorations that lined almost every room of the Humunculi's headquarters. They all had their own little "jobs". Lust had to supervise Gluttony and Wrath while they took down the tree. Greed and Pride had to remove the 5,000 piece village from its hallway and put it back in the basement, and Envy and Sloth had to do the rest of the random stuff lining the walls and the outdoor light display.

"Why, again do we even bother to put this stuff up?" An agitated Greed asked Pride who was handing him the stuff that he then had to smother in bubble wrap.

"Only 4,381 pieces to go…" Pride sighed.

Upstairs, Envy threw anything "Christmas" that he could find and rip off of a wall or a table, or even the floor, at Sloth who was holding open a huge box to catch the array of unidentifiable flying objects UFOs coming mainly at her head.

"… This one's full," She said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, but I'm not stopping until this is over with," Envy said, launching another barrage at her. She had to quickly drop that box and find another as Envy continued his "attack".

As you can plainly see, things aren't going to well. Especially since everyone is paired up completely wrong. These people so obviously don't work well together. The groups were formed by names drawn out of a hat. The only reason that Lust and
gluttony are together is because Gluttony threatened to eat whoever opposed him. He really is loyal.

"Wrath, are you done with those lights yet?" Lust asked the young boy.

"Uh, I'm trying to fix them," he replied.

"Why do they need to be fixed?" She then angrily asked him.

"One went out, so I tried to shove it back in the hole. After that they all went out. Can you help me?" he suddenly asked.

"No," she mercilessly replied. Then she noticed that only about half of the ornaments were actually making it to the box. "Gluttony." An extremely audible crunching sound was heard. "I thought I told you not to eat those!" She screamed at the suddenly frightened Humunculus. "Sorry, Lust," he replied. "Do it again and you will be sorry," she coolly told him, extending her razor-sharp nails.. "I happen to like those."

Upstairs, with Envy and Sloth there was actual progress.

"Done!" Envy sang as he threw the last wreath at Sloth, who easily caught it. "Let's go and do the downstairs," he grinned an evil grin.

"… We're not supposed to go down there until Lust and the others are down with the tree and village," she said.

"Would you rather do the outside lights?" he casually asked her.

"… No," she replied and followed him as he made his way down the stairs collecting the garland which was neatly wrapped around the hand railing. Except, he wasn't exactly "collecting" the garland, it was in reality more like "shredding" it and putting it in the box carried by Sloth. "… Lust is going to get mad at you for this," she told him.

"Who cares," he shrugged it off easily. But, just then, Sloth pointed at a figure coming down the hall pretty quickly.

"SHEDIDIT!" Envy shouted, pushing Sloth out and into Lust's war path.

"Yeah, right, Palm Tree!" she angrily shouted and then stretched her nails in his direction. "You will care when I'm done with you…"

"… Told you so," Sloth cheered as Envy ducked, narrowly missing Lust's attack.

In the hallway next to the stairs, Greed and Pride heard the racket, but paid it no mind.

"1,354 … 1,355 … 1,356 … 1,357…" Pride counted. THUMP! "Dammit, I lost count again!" he said as Greed groaned and emptied the boxes that were already so neatly packed. They were also supposed to count in case even just one precious item was missing.

"I hate you," Greed said.

"I hate you too," Pride replied.

"If you screw this up one more time, I'm gonna kill you," Greed said.

"I'd kill you , but that Fullmetal runt already did," Pride laughed.

"…"

"What? Did I make you mad?"

"…"

Greed stood up.

"Oh, shit!" Pride said and ran through the hall, hotly pursued by an angry Greed. As they ran many "precious items" fell, crashed, and broke. Suddenly, Pride turned around and pulled Greed's scarf, strangling him. Too bad, he pulled a little too hard and it broke.

"You don't know how dead you just made yourself…" Greed said and jump-tackled him. They continued fighting, and didn't notice that Gluttony had entered the room.

"Yum," he said, picking up a glass house. He didn't even notice the chaos erupting around him. Suddenly, Lust walked in, dragging a fainted Envy behind her. Sloth followed behind.

SHUK-SHUK-SHUK-SHUK-SHUK-SHUK-SHUK

That pretty much ended the fun for this year. And, yes, everyone did survive, but some are still suffering severe or minor injuries.
