It was night time. Most of the houses in Costuul already had their lights turned off with the exeption of a mansion owned by a rather eccentric clown. Running trough the halls of the mansion, a black haired boy with quite the nasty look was feeling quite anxious. He was sure tough that this should be the date and that everything was acounted for.
[Subaru]:"Lets see...food checked! A decorated Christmas tree checked! Gifts for everyone checked! Roswaal in a Santa outfit checked... whait what?!"
[Roswaal]:"Is there any problem Su~~~~baru-kun?"
[Subaru]:"N-no I just didn't tink you'd get so much into this event that you would actually dress up like that."
[Roswaal]:"We~~~~ll, when you came up with this -Christmass party- from your supposed homeland I tought it would be a great idea to bring togheter the members of the ca~~~~mp"
[Subaru]:"Suuuure..'He surely has some hidden reason'"
[Subaru]:"Well I need to go now, Beako is waiting for me in our room"
As Subaru walked away Roswaal said "Alri~~~~ght, but don't forget that you will be the leader and that e~~~~veryone is waiting for you."
Opening the door to his room, Subaru watched as the drill haired spirit sitting on their bed crossed her arms with a pout on her face.
[Beatrice]:"What took you so long! I needed your help to this into these clothes and you must help me I suppose! After all this was your idea!"
[Subaru]:"Sorry Beako, I had to check if everything was ready."
Said Subaru as he walked to help her get in the small Santa outfit he proposed for her to wear, wich Beatrice reluctantly accepted. She even had a small red and white hat on her head in place of her usual crown.
[Subaru]:"You know Beako, you're so cute I could hug you for hours!"
[Beatrice]:"W-where do you even come up with these embarassing words I suppose?! And stop teasing me and lets go, the others are waiting for us"
[Subaru]:"Ok ok, you don't have to be such a tsundere ,but let me look in the mirror first to see if look good."
[Subaru]:"Black and white Santa outfit, orange scarf, mean eyes that look sleep deprived and combed white hair. Alright, I'd say i look decent enough, let's get the party going"
Arriving at the dining room and opening the doors, Subaru laid his eyes on it's inhabitants. The leader of the camp, Emilia, who was now wearing a red and green outfit similar to an elf from Santa's workshop. On the other side of the table sat Garfield and Otto who were wearing their normal clothes as Subaru couldn't get them to wear festive outfits( tough Garfield was weaing a shirt wich is usually an upgrade). At the end of the table sat Roswaal with Ram on his side and Frederica and Petra setting up the table for the food. They all looked the same with the exeption of Roswaal and Petra, who was wearing a Christmas hat.
[Subaru]:"Hello everybody and welcome to the first Christmas party of the Emilia camp!"
[Otto]:"Seriously Natsuki-san, while I apreciate the event this will make me lose so much time from my job as the Internal Affairs Minister"
[Ram]:"Hah! Even tough everyone work hard to prepare this event, you are still tinking about work. How much more of an workaholic and masochist could you be?"
[Garfiel]:"Gee' Ram, can't even give brotto a pause, you sure are a slave driver!"
[Subaru]:"Come on everyone, lets stop the talking and start the feasting! After all, Christmas is all about being together with your friends and familiy and enjoying delicious food and gifting presents."
[Emilia]:"Subaru, your homeland must me amazing having so many holidays! You should tell us more stories about it. After all, decorating the tree was really fun!"
[Subaru]:"Ughh.. s-sure Emilia-tan, I'll try to remember. Also you look amazing in that outfit, could this have been my present all along?!'I better change the subject, I don't want to reveal too much about where I come from'"
[Emilia]:"How could this be a present if you're the one that chose it, you dunderhead!" Said Emilia with a pout.
[Subaru]:"Oh that right, I did choose it."
[Beatrice]:"Stop flirting with eachother and lets get on with thise I suppose!"
As they sat down, they began eating the delicious food presented to them by the maids including some of the dishes that Subaru remember from Japan.
[Subaru]:'Taking that cooking class that one time may have come in handy after all!'
After they finished eating Subaru decided that its time for them to share their gits!
[Subaru]:"All right everybody, now that we're finished with eating we should start sharing our gi-"
[?]:"MAAAAASTER! I finished searching the town. Nobody is left!"
[Subaru]:'Huh? I can swear i just heard a voice.'
[?]:"Master, are you alright? Are you playing with your puppets again?"
As Subaru's mind to remember who the owner of the voice was he suddenly realised something. There was no food, no Christmas tree, no gifts and especially no people. He had been sitting alone in an abandoned house all this time.
[Subaru]:"Oh Shaula! Sorry I was making a Christmas play with the puppets while you were out" He said, adresing to the young brown haired woman in front of him while being surrounded by puppets, each with dfferent desings. One had silver hair and white clothes, another wore a red dress and had blonde hair and many other puppets each with different desins.
[Subaru]:"So, is anyone left that may know of Natsuki Subaru?"
[Shaula]:"Nope master! Everyone is dead!"
[Subaru]:"...Hey Shaula, i have something for you." Said Subaru as he gave her a small box.
Shaulta immediately took the box and opened it, finding an orange colored hair pin in the form a star wich Subaru had found in an abandoned shop.
[Shaula]:"Aghhhhhh! Maaaaaster, you're giving me a gift?! Have you finally fallen for my feminine charms?"
[Subaru]:"Well I tough a small gift would be nice to tank you for all of your help...Happy Christmas Shaula"
