Nirvana First Christmas of Both Genders
"Hmm, I think I can make this work a little well." Jaune said while looking at his paper.
He is working on a journey, a record of everything that has happened since Jaune and Hibiki and everyone on this ship throughout all the adventures like fighting robot aliens that have been trying to make us into fertilizers and seen a few planets with some crazy things.
"You know, I think the biggest thing that has ever happened on this ship is everyone getting along as in the male and female getting along." Jaune surprised of how things are going so far.
"Hey Jaune, whatcha doing?" Hibiki asked as he walks into his room.
"Just writing down all the adventures the Nirvana crew went through and thinking back on how we came together in the first place." Jaune answered.
"Let how those old geezers fired a dangerous missile and sent us to the far side of the galaxy." Hibiki said rolling his eyes.
"Come on, when you think about it. That must have been fate telling us we were meant to come together like our ancestors did a hundred years ago." Jaune believed as he places his journey down on his bed.
"Sounds weird if you ask me, but I'll admit being with these women seem to be a better life than back home." Hibiki smirked a little.
Hibiki's mind went to thinking about Dita, Jura, and Meia like they are special to him for some reason and wants to get closer with them which is kind of weird, but he doesn't seem to mind that either so as long as they don't push his buttons or anything.
"Hey, do you want to go check on the girls?" Hibiki asked.
"Sure, I've been meaning to ask Pyrrha for a little more combat training today." Jaune nodded as they walk out.
"I don't think Pyrrha is gonna have the time for combat training today." Sun said as he, Ren, Bart, and Duelo walking together out of the men quarter with the two men commanders.
"What do you mean by that?" Jaune asked.
"From what Yang and Blake me, the entire crew is getting for this holiday they seem to celebrate every year at this time." Sun explained.
"Apparently this holiday is called Christmas." Ren informed.
"Christmas, so the women have their own special holiday to feel and do… whatever it is they do on this holiday?" Hibiki confused a little.
"We were just about to go out and see this for ourselves, wanna join us?" Bart offered.
Jaune and Hibiki look at each other for a moment thinking a new opportunity to learn a little more about the women have open up to them, and perhaps the small men group can join in on the fun of this Christmas holiday too as they have been feeling a little bored lately.
The men group made their way to the bridge while seeing the women crew are putting up some colorful and funny looking decorations around.
"Hey guys, bet you're excited to have your first Christmas, right?" Nora asked.
"I guess so, even though we never really had such a holiday like this back on Taraak." Ren shrugged as the men walked past her.
This took Nora about ten seconds to register what Ren just said and her eyes widen of pure shock with her jaws dropping taking in some air from the gasp.
"WHAT?!" Nora blitzed in front of the men group.
"No Christmas, never thought in my life to hear those two hears together like that!" Nora started to freak out a little.
"Huh, did we break her or something?" Hibiki asked.
"I don't think so, it must be her mental state seems to be somewhat okay despite being so… So full of energy." Duelo tried to figure out this girl and her personality.
"Hello guys, Pyro." Pyro agreed as he flies up to them.
"Pyro!" Nora suddenly grabbed Pyro by the head shaking him like crazy.
"Can you believe it, Pyra? They never heard of Christmas, it's like they're life has been nothing but living under a rock!" Nora said.
"P-P-Pyro! Please stop shaking me?!" Pyro begged, feeling like he's about to throw up even though he doesn't have lungs.
"Well, we were just on our way to see all the Christmas decorations and maybe join the fun too." Jaune explained.
"Then let's go!" Nora grabbed all the boys, somehow, and drags them into the main dock room where they see everyone is putting up some more decorations around.
"Hey, is that the captain?" Hibiki asked, pointing at Mango dressing up in a red suit with a matching hat.
"She's dressing up as Santa Claus, a little Christmas character that is said to be the jolliest woman and legend says she can travel around the world delivering presents to all the good girls in one night." Nora explained.
"Okay, there's no way that can be true." Hibiki refused to believe that.
"I don't know, sounds like a fun gal to hang around with." Sun commented.
"More fun to hang around with us?" Yang asked sarcastically with a grin as she and Blake are wearing the red Christmas hats.
"Get this, you two! These guys never heard of Christmas before!" Nora informed.
"Seriously, didn't you men have like some sort of holiday to celebrate like New Years to welcome the brand new year?" Yang asked.
"I'm not entirely sure about that." Ren tried to think if they did celebrate New Year on Taraak.
"Christmas and New Year are like a festival! Don't you have festivals on Taraak at all?" Pyro asked shock.
"Well, there was a festival." Bart recalled the kind of festival the men would do back on Taraak though he and the other men are having some second thoughts about it.
"But they weren't exactly "enjoyable" like at all." Bart stated.
"Super boring." Sun exclaimed.
"Even I had a hard time staying awake when going there." Ren nodded.
"When we get back to Taraak, we are going to have a strict word with the high-ups about making the festival not hellish boring like before." Jaune suggested to Hibiki.
"No need to tell me twice." Hibiki nodded quickly in agreement.
"Hey, Mister Alien!" Dita called out causing Hibiki to flinch a little.
"Oh, hey there." Jaune greeted Dita and Ruby coming up to them.
"Do you guys want to walk with us?" Ruby asked as she wanted to do something than help Dita watch the turkey as it was done cooking before.
"Sure, not like we had anything else to do." Jaune nodded.
"So, anything we should know about this holiday we should know about as well?" Sun asked.
"Well, Christmas is the time when all of us would get together to enjoy everything we can cherish such as friends and families with the bond we share." Blake explained.
"There is also the presents we get, whether you guy them from a store or make them with your own hands, it's important that it comes from the heart and making them as awesome as possible!" Yang smirked.
"Not exactly all that, but sure." Blake sweatdropped.
"Wow, this Christmas sounds like a fun holiday. How come we never had that on Taraak?" Bart wondered.
"Anyway, let's go find a room because I just remember that I was supposed to search for some Christmas lights for the tree." Pyro just remembered.
Everyone soon reach a room where they are lots of boxes around with barely any room for the group to fit in, so only a few went in while the others stayed outside.
"I didn't know we have a room like this?" Dita surprised.
"It's probably just for storage and stuff." Ruby shrugged.
Suddenly they heard a crashing sound as they turn to see Hibiki fell down from a door they couldn't see that suddenly opened while he was sitting on top of some of the boxes, they come in to see the room is full of old stuff.
"Wow, we even have a secret room!" Nora gasped.
"I'm pretty sure that's not the case." Ren believed.
"What is this place and what's with all this stuff?" Hibiki asked.
"Looks to me like something that's been here for a long time." Pyrrha said walking in the room with everyone.
"Hey Pyrrha, I think your red hair would definitely be a fitting for this holiday." Jaune complimented making her blush.
"Thanks, I wanted to see if you and the men wouldn't mind helping out around the ship." Pyrrha explained.
"Hmm." Duelo said, looking at all the dust on everything in this room.
"What can you tell this, Doctor?" Ren asked.
"They would appear to be items from the Colonization Era." Duelo theorized.
"The Colonization Era, as in when our ancestor moved to the two planets we know today?" Jaune asked surprise, even thought to have stumble upon something like that.
"Man, we could make this into a museum!" Bart amazed.
"We'll have to ask the captain about this, but I'm sure she would agree." Yang said.
"Hey, look at this. This looks kind of weird, doesn't it?" Dita asked holding up an object with the label saying "X mas with family" on it.
Jaune took the case from Dita hand looking at it closely seeing this to be something the ancestors once used back in their days and took out the object inside, he took a closer look for a moment until he started to see what this is.
"I think this is some kind of old digital video player." Jaune believed.
"A video chip, I can definitely see that." Duelo agreed.
"And look, this says it's from the time of Christmas." Pyrrha pointed at the black words.
"Now this just got me more curious." Bart surprised.
(Kitchen)
"And… there we go!" Jura demonstrated her skills with twirling the whipped cream to few of the girls as they clap of this.
"There, was that so much trouble to help in the kitche?" Barnette grinned.
"Whatever do you mean, I just thought of doing a little something for Hibiki as a thank you for making the beautiful crimson Vandread." Jura bragged.
"Of course, you are." Barnette chuckled.
Suddenly the hologram screen went on getting everyone's attention and it's not just to the ones in the kitchen, but this is being shown to everyone in the Nirvana.
The video started playing showing a small sighting of Christmas decorations like the classic fireplace and the Christmas tree, then the screen turns showing a little girl who her mommy who is holding what appears to be a baby girl in her arms. There doesn't appear to be sounds in this video probably mute or something, the girl is waving her arms calling out to the person holding the camera.
But when that second figure came in, everyone became absolutely shocked of seeing a man entering the scene and hugging the females as if they are very close together.
"Holy History Discovery!" Jaune shocked.
"Goodness me, is that what I think it is?" Glynda asked shock.
"Well, Captain? Is that how men and women lived together?" BC asked the captain in red.
"Indeed, it is but I'm very surprise to see this kind of footage that were thought to be lost in ages." Mango smiled, remembering her time with her family.
"My, my, I'm not really sure what to make of it." Gascogne chuckled as the other workers are also shocked of this as well.
(Doctor Duelo Office)
"Oh man, oh man, I cannot get over of how weird seeing that old video!" Bart freaked out a little and Duelo gave him a pill to calm him down.
"Well, we all saw that video and I say we're slowly remaking the bond between men and woman like in the olden days." Sun pointed out.
"You make it sound like its easy, but we're still getting use to tolerance and seeing the things they can do." Hibiki said.
"I don't know, I say we're just being our normal selves together and look where that got us like fighting off those harvest robots and exploring new planets. I think everything we have done is great." Jaune smiled.
All the boys turn to see that honest smile on Jaune's face and think back on all those girls they spent with the girls, they can definitely see what he is getting at and maybe there might be some new hope for men and women living together once again.
"Well, in that case, we better make sure to enjoy this Christmas with the women." Hibiki grinned as the boys agreed.
(With Pyrrha)
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" Pyrrha paced around in her room.
Ever since that video was shown just a few minutes ago, she couldn't get the through of her and Jaune being together like that and having a family which is causing her face to turn red, this feels both embarrassing and strange to her as this must also make the other girls on the ship feel that way too.
"I knew I was feeling something strange whenever I'm close with Jaune, but I never knew I could feel this much love." Pyrrha said and quickly squealed into her pillow.
"But even so, it would be nice to love him." Pyrrha smiled, and then an idea pop into her head.
"Oh my, it's a risky idea… But I'm going for it!" Pyrrha smiled and jump out of her room running out of her room.
Just when as Cinder was walking toward Pyrrha's room for wanting to talk to the red hair girl about something important, she jumps back in shock of seeing Pyrrha rushing out like that.
"Whoa, Pyrrha!" Cinder called out.
"Sorry, can't stop! Just got an idea for Christmas for Jaune!" Pyrrha yelled as she disappeared into the hallway.
"Okay…?" Cinder confused of this.
(Later)
The next few hours went a little crazy for some like Meia going up to the snowy white comet going through space and going into the Nirvana's view, only to find another of the harvest robots and Hibiki was also there to get some ice for the snow for Dita and the others to enjoy.
The countdown struck at midnight as everyone cheers for Christmas when suddenly the white comet sprinkling like snow is happening in space, and inside the ship because of Parfet's machine she has been working on to make a white Christmas.
Everyone gave away their presents: Sun gave Yang and Blake two necklaces that used to belong to his older brothers before they died, and they gave him boxing gloves and a book. Bart gave some rainbow-colored food pallets to BC though she didn't give him anything. Duelo made a painting of snow for Parfet. Ren made a folded paper hammer for Nora who gave him a Christmas stack pancake for them to share.
"Hey Jaune, would you mind coming with me for a second? There's something I wanted to show you." Pyrrha asked.
"Sure, let's be sure to make it back for the feast." Jaune agreed to come long.
Pyrrha leads Jaune to one room where is quiet and everyone from the eyes of the girls knowing their little private "talk" won't be interrupted.
"So, what is it you wanted to show me?" Jaune asked.
"Look up." Pyrrha pointed up.
Jaune is confuse a little wondering what this could be as he looks up seeing something hanging from the ceiling, it appears to be something with two leaves and some tiny little berries though he gets the feeling this maybe something more than it appears to be.
"What exactly am I looking at?" Jaune asked.
"It's a mistletoe, it's one of the Christmas traditions we do as well." Pyrrha answered with her cheeks blushing and her hands together from behind.
"Oh, that's nice. So, what's this tradition that involves this?" Jaune asked pointing up at the mistletoe.
Pyrrha ready herself for she knew there was no going back the moment she brought him into this room and position him under the mistletoe, this was something she has to do or else she'll regret for the rest of her life.
"T-To kiss each other." Pyrrha answered stutter.
"Wait, what?" Jaune shocked.
But suddenly he is grabbed on the shirt and pulled by Pyrrha for their lips to make contact onto each other that is a big shock for the both of them, yet at the same time this felt good in a way as they look at each other for a moment until they close their eyes and wrap their arms onto each other.
The kiss lasted for a whole minute until they separated their lips, and the realization came crashing into their mind with only one word they can say about this.
"Wow!" Jaune and Pyrrha said in union as their face are also blushing a little.
