Hello all it is Christmas Eve here and I am desperately attempting to write and finish this story before Christmas and so far… not going too well. Reason being I have one day to type this, not much time, and I don't know what the crap I'm doing story wise. Gah I should probably start writing and stop procrastinating. Okay and here we go!

………………………………………………………………………………...

The rest of dinner went exceedingly well, not counting Red and Nuada's "little" spat. So after dinner they all filed into the library for a game of charades. The game had to be explained to the prince and princess because being decendents of a lost race of elves they didn't know much about human games, but they quickly caught on. Liz, Abe, and Krauss thought this would be a great bonding activity, especially between two enemies. Red could have said differently, originally the teams were supposed to be Abe, Nuala, and Liz versus Hellboy, Krauss, and Nuada, but Red wouldn't stand for it and exchanged Nuada for Liz. The game pressed on and even though the twins had never played before they got every one, Abe barely got the chance to guess and when he did it was usually because Nuada let him.

"HEY! They're cheating!" Red stood up and pointed at Nuada.

"Sit down agent Hellboy!" Krauss ordered.

"And exactly how are we cheating?" Nuada said casually as he sat back in a very relaxed matter on the couch.

"Well… I don't know,"

"Red they're bonded so they can sense what the other is thinking very easily," Abe said trying to defend Nuala.

"Why are they on the same team?!"

"Maybe because you put us there," Nuada said with a sort of it's obvious hand gesture.

"You stay out of the prince Noob!"

"Red it's just a game," Liz said trying to stop the argument from turning into a bloody fight. Red furrowed his brow and Nuada gave a smirk that hinted the words better listen to your girlfriend.

"Aren't elves supposed to be in the North Pole at this time of year?" Hellboy said. Nuada growled (in a humane sort of way lol not like Edward Cullen in Twilight) and clenched his fists.

"Hmph no surprise you're on earth, probably because Satan didn't want you in Hell," Nuada muttered.

"Alright that's it!" Red charged at Nuada fist pulled back and he took his first swing at him. Nuada jumped back and Red hit the couch causing it to tip over. Unfortunately everything was so spur of the moment that Nuada didn't have enough time to figure out where he was jumping. So this resulted with him crashing into a bookcase. Hellboy continued to charge at him, once again Nuada jumped. This time he leaped over Hellboy and purposely kicked him in the head so he crashed into the bookcase.

"Ooooooh crap," Red said as the bookcase toppled over on him. Nuada grabbed his spear and started to twirl it, Hellboy lifted the bookcase off his back and dusted himself off. Nuada lengthend his spear and took a swing at Hellboy's head and nocked him backwards. Red grabbed a few books and through them at Nuada. Nuada dodged four, hit two, but unfortunately the last one caught him off guard and hit him in the stomach and he keeled over. Red came up to him to tell him that it was over but Nuada wouldn't stand for it, he grabbed his spear and swung at Red's leg. It hit him directly in the knee so he started to stumble. Nuada took the end of the spear and hit Hellboy under the chin. He fell backwards into a chair and Nuada briskly walked over to him with his spear touching his back. When he reached Red he spun it a few times and took another swing, this time at Red's head. Red ducked and grabbed the spear. Nuada jumped over it and kicked Hellboy in the face. After a few more minutes of fighting both Hellboy and Nuada had each other in a death grip, Nuada had the blade of his spear up to Hellboy's throat and Hellboy had his stone hand clamped tightly around Nuada's throat.

"EVERY ONE STOP!" Liz shouted. Red and Nuada looked over at her, "This isn't what Christmas is supposed like. It is a time of peace between enemies not fighting about if someone cheated in charades," both Red and Nuada let each other go.

"Agent Sherman is right," Krauss said. Nuada sighed and dropped his spear.

"Forgive me demon, your friends make a good point," Nuada said as he held out and open hand towards Red.

"No problem," Red shook Nuada's hand and the both smiled, "I guess I was being kind of a jerk," Nuada smirked. Eventually everyone sat down and Krauss decided to tell everyone the story of the very first Christmas. Eventually it was time to leave and Nuada and Nuala bid farewell to everyone and filed onto the elevator.

"Thank you for having us over," Nuala said.

"Maybe you could come back for New Years," Abe suggested. Everyone nodded.

"That sounds like fun," Nuala said as the elevator began to rise.

"New Years?" asked Hellboy, "Aw crap,"
