Lionblaze POV

I was having a nice, comfortable sleep.

Or I was, at least, until someone started thumping my head with a pillow and no mercy.

"LIONBLAZE! Get up! It's Christmas!"

I opened my eyes and shot the most raged glare at Foxleap I could muster, but quickly gave in to laughter.

"All right Foxleap I'm coming now."

I rolled out of bed as he moved on to assaulting Jayfeather (who had finally been told to sleep back at his room) and got quickly changed into tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. I looked scruffy but seeing as it was seven AM I didn't really care.

An angry sound of unidentifiable onomatopoeia came from the other side of the room, and I looked over to see Jayfeather snatch the pillow off Foxleap and batter him mercilessly with it until the ginger had been driven back onto his bed in a mad fit of laughter.

"Jayfeather, Jayfeather, where is your Christmas spirit?" I tutted as he growled and began throwing on his own clothes.

"Yeah Jayfeather, Santa must've definitely put you on the naughty list!" Foxleap gasped in between giggles, and was immediately knocked back down onto the bed by his roommate lobbing the pillow at him. "You stay down!"

I chuckled to myself and ducked under my bed to pull out the stack of wrapped gifts for everyone.

"Merry Christmas bro." I said, passing the box to him.

He calmed himself down a little and sat down on his bed to tear open the wrapping paper, before balling it up and launching that at Foxleap too, and feeling across the gift try and identify what it was.

He looked up, eyes shining. "Woah! You got me the book? And in braille too?"

"Yup,"

"Thank you so much!"

He reached under his own bed and threw a present at me, which I caught and immediately began tearing open, eager to see what lay inside. It was a branded T-shirt, simple, but rare, with a fade of black to red to gold.

"Woah cool! Thanks Jay!" I thanked him, then looked at Foxleap aqs he whistled for me then hurled a smaller present over at me.

I instinctively reached up to shield my face and catch it, but it exploded on impact, and I felt myself covered in black, smoky powder yet again. Foxleap dissolved into laughter again as I narrowed my eyebrows at him.

"S-sorry mate! That was meant for Berrynose." he choked out, controlling himself and wrapping another soot bomb in the colourful paper, then passing me another box.

I rolled my eyes and opened it to see a nice box of my favourite chocolates. "Thanks Foxleap." I replied with a laugh, passing him one.

After Jayfeather gave him his gift, we collected all our presents together and walked over to Toadstep's room to pick him up, then over to Cinderheart's room where we were celebrating. The girls were already there, including Briarlight in her wheelchair.

Foxleap immediately ran to the front.

"OKAY EVERYONE IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSSSSS!" he yelled.

I turned to Jayfeather. "I have the feeling he is on sugar high already."

Ivypool POV

At 2 pm we were still partying in the room, and it had evolved to some kind of truth or dare game but without the truth option.

"Okay Jayfeather, it's your turn to be dared," Honeyfern announced, picking up a hat of names, "And the person daring you is...Lionblaze!"

"Hmm..." the golden blonde thought for a moment, "Okay, your dare is to look Berrynose in the eyes and tell him he's cute."

"WHAT?!" came from Jayfeather, Honeyfern and Berrynose at once while a few people started laughing.

"I can't do that!" the blind medic complained.

"Well...you can do it or do a lap around the island." his brother responded, nodding towards the window where I could see Toadstep still jogging tiredly about. I mean, I wouldn't really want to kiss Sandstorm either.

"Ight fine."

Jayfeather turned to face Berrynose, whether he could see him or not, and said.

"I think you're cute." in the most dull and bored way ever. I choked out a snort in attempt to stop laughing as Berrynose blinked, flushing slightly, and Honeyfern looked pretty triggered.

"Now next dare."

"Okidoki, Icecloud! Is being dared by...Hazeltail!"

"Okay, I dare you to stand on the roof and shout 'HAPPY NEW YEAR!' at the top of your voice."

Icecloud cringed then left the room. I heard the elevator being called and grabbed my phone, quickly dashed out of the room, bolted up the stairs then waited for Icecloud to climb up to the roof and followed her. I hit record as she moved to the centre.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" she shouted loudly. Well she didn't lie.

I laughed as she turned around and realised I was filming before bolting towards me in an attempt to stop me.

"Relax! It's just for proof you did the dare!" I cried between giggles.

She relaxed and stopped trying to snatch the phone off me.

"Everyone probably heard it anyway."

She laughed and we headed back to the room. But when I opened the door, Foxleap was standing there, waiting for us. Or at least me. He immediately grabbed me, not roughly, and pulled me in to kiss me. I was shocked, to say the least, we'd never really been a 'kissy' couple. It was good, like, but not really something for our relationship.

He pulled away. "Ah...sorry about that…"

Realisation clicked in. "Oh, dare?"

He nodded. "Yep."

"I rate that two stars out of five!" Berrynose called mischievously from his seat.

"I rate you one star out of five!" Foxleap retorted, earning several smirks.

I was invited to sit back down again and watched as Hollyleaf was dared to text the Thunder Group Chat using as little grammar as possible. And to say 'Berrynose is that best'. Bet no one can guess who dared her.

"But good grammar is my life!" Hollyleaf complained in a wailing tone.

"Then get a better one." Foxleap replied, bumping his roast record up to two.

"But what happens is one of the English teachers find out? What will happen to my grades then?"

"Hollyleaf, you've seen how bad we can text, have our grades ever dropped?" Cinderheart asked. The ravenette thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Then do the dare." Jayfeather concluded.

She sighed and pulled out her phone, typing something and spending about a minute editing it until the message spread around the group with synchronised notification noises. I checked.

Hollyleaf: beryn0se is teh b3st

I snorted as she ducked her head in shame. "Oh my stars, Holly! That's not even that bad!"

"It's still an insult to the English language!" she cried, sobbing slightly.

We all exchanged exasperated glances as she left the room to 'Remake peace with the English 'Gods''. Honeyfern cleared her throat and moved on again.

"Okay then...uh...Ivypool, I think it's your turn to be dared."

I rubbed my hands together and grinned. "Alright, what've ya got for me?"

"You are being dared by...oh. Toadstep. Um, is he still running around outside?"

As if in reply, the black-and-white haired boy collapsed through the door, panting heavily. He looked sweaty.

"Don't touch the beds!" Cinderheart immediately said, then smiled, "Ah, sorry. Uh, the carpet is comfortable…?"

"Anything is comfortable right now." he breathed, falling to the floor.

"Umm...do you want to dare Ivypool or someone else next turn?" Honeyfern asked.

"No no, I can do Ivypool. I thought of some good ones on the run."

"Okidoki then! Ivypool, your dare is…"

"To voice call everyone on the Thunder Group Chat and sing a meme song."

I grinned. "Fun. I have the one."

Without hesitation I picked my phone back up and hit voice call on the group chat. About seventeen people picked up and it got crowded.

"What's up Ivypool?" someone asked.

I cleared my throat. "Tell me why,"

There was a moment's silence. Then-

"Ain't nothin' but a heartache."

I smiled. "Tell me why?"
"Ain't nothin' but a mistake."

"Tell me why."

"I never wanna hear you say!"

"I want it that way!" We finished together.

There was a long moment of silence on the other end. Then there was the voice of someone, more specifically Dustpelt.

"Ivypool and whomever that was, I may murder you."

"Nope!" I replied and ended the call.

"Wow, Ivypool, just wow." Lionblaze laughed before they continued on.

I returned to look at my phone as I got a text from...Sagefeather I think.

Sage That Falls Like Feta: Good singing girl!

Parkourpool: Thx was it you who sang with me?

Sage That Falls Like Feta: Ya

Parkourpool: Good girl

Then I put the phone back away and continued to watch the dare game.

Everyone be celebrating and being crazy

Hope you all enjoyed! Next chapter we might get some more on Tawnypelt and Snowbird's situation :3
