Carol 4:
It Ends Tonight

Mushra sighed as he looked through the frost covered window. It was chilly a little bit in the room he was in, but he didn't care. Murishi came in and sat next to him, handing a cup of hot cocoa.

"So what's got you bummed out?"

"Two things, that I might haveta kiss Aquel, and the other is about mom…"

Murishi laughed. "Don't worry about Aquel, I've got a plan for that, and as for mom…I don't think she wants to see you all sad and depressed like this and stuff. I mean, a new year is approaching!" Mushra's spirits seemed lifted by this.

"Yeah, you're right! Hey, doesn't that New Year's countdown start tonight?"

"Yeah, you're right, we should get out to the living room before Kutal starts heading for the food." The two flame enterreans walked out into the hallway and spotted Sago, Kutal, and the newly returned couple. Binka was sitting next to Suga who was laughing at her retelling of her shooting at Sago. Mushra smiled at the air in the room, which was light and cheery, and Murishi noticed this, knowing that Mushra wasn't all bummed out about his mom's death.

"Hey, the countdown's going to start very soon!" Estee exclaimed, pointing at the T.V. as people and enterreans made preparations.

"That's nice, Estee, have you made any New Year resolutions yet?' Yakumo asked, beaming.

"No, not yet, but I'll make some tonight, okay?" Estee replied, her voice full of innocence.

"Augh! Ren, Sen!" Suga yelled, chasing the twin brothers around the house with Binka following him. he had just been splashed with freezing water, but it was okay since he was steaming at the two boys because of the prank.

"Hey, Murishi, want a cookie?"

"No thanks, bro," his sister replied before looking out the window, and it was something out the window that made her eyes widened. It was the face of her mother.

That lady stared back, smiling at her daughter before waving a hello or goodbye wave.

"Mom…?" Murishi whispered, heading over to the window.

"Good job…and thanks for the letters," her mom replied before being pulled away by her husband. "Tell your brother you parents say hi!" The womanand the man disappeared and Murishi still couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed it once or twice before heading back to the living room.

"Hey, Mushra…Mom and Dad say hi," Murishi informed him, smiling and on the brink of tears.

"Huh? What do you mean…?"

"Let's just say…they said hi."


Anyway, I'm done. It's too short, I know…but I really had to get to my FMA one, and I tried not to speed through this…anyway, Happy Holidays!
