It was the last day of school. Children were sat in their classrooms eagerly awaiting for the bell to ring. Once it had sounded they'd be able to run free for the next two weeks. No homework, no getting up early. Just fun, snow and lots of magic.

The bell finally rang and everyone immediately bounced from their seats. People began making their way out of the stuffy building and into the white wilderness. Little kids flew to the ground and started making angels while teens playfully threw snowballs at each other.

But there was one boy who wasn't interested in the snow. As fast as his skinny legs could carry him he soared past the others and aimed for home. Home, home, home. That was all he could think.

He skidded around the corner and swung around a lamppost. The band he kept to tie back his messy, blond hair fell out but he couldn't care less. Even when he noticed his shoe lace was coming undone he couldn't bring himself to stop. He was far too excited.

It was finally happening. Rin, his dear sister, was finally coming home.

The poor girl had been stuck in hospital for almost four years. It was horrible at such a young age but it couldn't be helped. Rin was ill, very ill. So ill that her parents refused to tell her brother the details. The boy didn't even know the name of her sickness.

It had been heartbreaking for the whole family. Since the beginning the twins had been joined at the hip. They refused to leave each other's sides. Even as babies, one screamed if the other was not present. All of their friends and family thought it was adorable. But that bond that kept them so close was the reason why the situation was so saddening.

They'd always known of Rin illness. Since she was a toddler she had to go for regular check ups and had to take medication every day. Rin was still able to live a normal life and everything was going fine until the twins turned ten. No one really knew what happened but Rin collapsed just after they'd sang happy birthday. She was rushed to hospital and simply never came out.

Her heartbroken twin was left crying for his sister. He couldn't sleep without her warm body right next to him in the bed they shared. Even when he did finally drift off he'd always end up wetting it. For awhile he wouldn't go to school and when he did go back he couldn't concentrate.

It was only those short visits he was granted at the hospital that he felt truly happy. The doctors left him alone with his twin and the two would talk for as long as they could. Whether it was about school, dreams or something funny they'd enjoy every second of it.

However, when it was time to leave both the twins cried. Even now, at age fourteen, they still shed a few. While Rin was comforted by the nurses, her brother was left to weep quietly in the backseat of his parents car. He didn't want people to think he was a baby.

The excited boy burst through his font door with the biggest smile on his face. He didn't bother to remove his shoes but he did remember to take of his hat, scarf and gloves. While whistling a tune to himself, he almost skipped into the kitchen.

His father was standing by the counter while his mother was sat at the table. She was reading something on her laptop and was frowning. Curiously, her son pranced over to her and tried to take a look at what she was reading. She quickly shut the laptop and turned to him.

"Ah, Len! You're back early!" she exclaimed.

"I ran all the way home," Len said proudly. "I really can't wait!"

His mother's face dropped when he said that. He was that excited for Rin's return? Oh, how she felt like crying again.

"Len," said his father seriously. "We need to have a chat about something."

"Um…sure?" answered Len and he sat down opposite his mother.

Len's father boiled a kettle and carefully poured three cups of tea. He added two sugar cubes to one, just how Len liked his, and set them down on the table. He too sat down and began stirring his tea. Len picked up the cup and took a small sip. He looked over to his mother who seemed to be trying to pick the cup up but her hands were shaking.

"Mum? Are you alright?" Len asked worriedly.

His mother sighed and said, "Yes quite a-alright."

"Rea, don't push yourself. You know just as well as I you're not alright," Len's father said.

Len began to panic. "W-what's going on?"

"Len, what I'm about to say will shock you but you have to understand." Len's father took a moment to push his glasses up his nose. "We got a phone call from St. Suzunosuke's."

"What?" whispered Len. His heart was beginning to beat a little too fast. He knew what was coming. He didn't want it to come.

"Rin's got worse. Much worse," his father said, his voice shaking a little. "She…wont be able to come home today."

"B-But…" Len trailed off.

"I'm sorry, Len," sniffed his mother. Len noticed her eyes were watering.

Len looked down so his eyes were hidden. "But tomorrow…tomorrow is Christmas Eve!" Len croaked through his teeth. His fingers slowly curled into a fist.

"I know! I know, Len. But there's nothing we can do!" exclaimed his mother.

Len couldn't take it anymore. Using his prepared fist her slammed his hand down on the table causing his tea to spill everywhere. "THEN THE DAMN HOSPITAL OBVIOUSLY AREN'T TREATING HER RIGHT!" he screamed and ran out of the room.

"Oh, Don. Why now?" whimpered Rea and let the tears in her eyes fall.

Don pulled his wife into a hug and replied, "I don't know. And Len was so excited too…"

Len stomped into his room and slammed his bedroom door as hard as he could. He kicked his clothes drawer and punched the wall. He was furious. He was about to kick something else when he realised it was Rin's old desk. Even though Rin hadn't been there for four years he insisted on keeping everything in place ready for her return.

On the desk sat a photo frame. Len picked it up and looked at the photo. It was of him and his twin playing in the snow as five year olds. Both were wearing plump coats that were far too big for them and they're lips were blue from the cold but they were laughing their little hearts out.

He gently placed the photo down and made his way over to the window. What lay outside it was their huge back garden, covered in sheets of white. Len could almost see his younger self running around, chasing after the petite Rin. Even though she was older by five minutes, Rin was always the smaller twin due to the illness.

Len gave in to the lump in his throat and threw himself onto the bed. Rin was no longer coming home. Coming home for Christmas. Coming home to him. Only half an hour before he had been so excited, so happy. Now the pain in his chest was unbearable. He cried for what felt like hours.

After Don and Rea decided it was safe to talk to Len they crept into his bedroom.

"Hey, Len," said Rea softly. "Why don't you come down? I've made beef stew. Maybe we could even phone St. Suzunosuke's to see if we can visit – oh…"

What lay before the two were their exhausted son, fast asleep. Rea walked over to the bed and knelt down. She noticed how red and puffy Len's face still was and she could see the tear stains. He was clutching tightly onto a package wrapped in orange paper. It was Len's Christmas gift for Rin.

"Oh, Len," sighed Rea as Don passed her a blanket. She carefully placed it over him and slowly stood up. "I'm sorry, sweetie."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Len nervously twiddled his thumbs round and round in the back of the car. He also noticed his knee had started to bounce. He'd visited the hospital so many times he's lost count but he knew for sure he'd never been so nervous going before. Sighing yet again he ignored the urge to let more tears slip.

"We're here," said Don and he stopped the car.

Len hopped out and stared up at St. Suzunosuke's. He crossed his arms and began following his mother. It was still morning and the air was fresh. Len looked down and shivered. The ground was still plastered with snow and ice. If he didn't watch his step he would surely slip.

The family made their way indoors and Don had a quick word with the receptionist. Len looked around to find the hospital was decorated for Christmas. Rea rugged Len's arm and they walked to Rin's ward. They knew the way off by heart. Since Rin lived at the hospital she had been granted her own room. They soon stopped at a door and Don slowly knocked it.

"Come in!" called a voice and Don opened the door.

The first thing Len saw was Gumi, Rin's green haired, bubbly nurse clutching a clipboard. But Len's attention quickly turned to the lifeless girl on the bed to the side of the room. He rushed over to it and gasped.

Rin looked awful. There were tubes going into her at various places of her body and she had what looked like a plastic cup over her mouth. Her hair was greasy and her skin looked grey. Len could only think of one thing to say.

"W-what happened?" he whispered.

Gumi sighed. "We honestly don't know. Yesterday morning she started complaining about a pain in her chest and the next thing we knew she was barely breathing," she explained. "I'm sorry. I'll…I'll leave you alone with her." With that Gumi turned on her heel and left.

"Rinny? Can you hear me?" asked Rea as she gently placed her finger tips against Rin's forehead. Rin gave no reply.

"My daughter does not deserve this," growled Don as he looked away from the broken girl. Rea walked over to him and put her arm around him.

Len continued to stare at Rin. If he was feeling this much pain then how bad was Rin feeling?

For the first time that day Len looked around the room. It was the same old boring white walls he was used to. Then something clicked. The least they could do was make the place a little merry!

Len walked out and looked around for Gumi. He spotted the nurse chatting to a doctor with long, purple hair.

"Oi!" Len called.

Gumi turned to look at Len. "What's wrong, dear?"

"What's wrong?" Len repeated in a sarcastic tone. "Rin's room is emotionless. The least you could do was sparkle it up a bit! I mean, come on. The rest of the hospital is covered in tinsel!"

Gumi frowned and replied, "Actually, it was decorated. We took them down after we thought Rin was leaving. No one was scheduled to use that room. They've all been put away. It'd be awkward trying to get them out."

"Oh, let the poor boy decorate it," sighed the purple haired doctor. "If he feels that strongly about it, let him!"

The doctor disappeared for a minute or two before he returned with a box full of Christmas decorations. He handed Len the box with a gentle smile. "There we go," the doctor laughed.

Len smiled shyly, read the doctor's name tag and said, "T-thank you Dr. Gakupo."

Len ran back into Rin's room and got to work. He hung golden tinsel on the walls and pinned up little snowmen. He found a small, light up Christmas tree and found somewhere to plug it in. It shone a brilliant orange colour. If Rin was awake, she'd be beaming.

"Len dear, that's beautiful," praised Rea.

Len smiled at his mother but then walked back over to Rin. He sat down on the edge of the bed, being careful not to sit on Rin, and grabbed her hand. He stayed like that, quietly holding her cold hands, for awhile. Before he knew it Gumi had already come in explaining visiting times were over. The visit felt far to short.

Len leant over Rin and put his face in front of hers. "I love you, Rin. Merry Christmas," he whispered and placed a tender kiss on Rin's forehead. Len hovered over her for a moment and let a single tear fall from his left eye onto Rin's right cheek. Why did he have to leave her? It wasn't fair!

He realised more tears were begging to follow. Before he made a fool of himself in front of so many adults he made a break for it. Covering his eyes with his messy fringe he ran as fast as he could to get out of the hospital. Once he was outside he began hurtling down the steps, determined to get away from the public.

He jumped off the final step and headed towards the car park. Unfortunately, Len slipped on a huge patch of ice and went flying. He landed on his hands and knees but from the fall's impact he toppled over into the snow all together. He couldn't get up. He saw no reason to. Why should he? His Christmas was ruined. Maybe they'd take him to the hospital. That way he could stay with Rin. He lay there until he began to feel queasy. The last thing Len remembered was darkness surrounding him.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Len? Len, honey?"

Len groaned and slowly opened his eyes. Things were slightly on the blurry side but he could make out a slim, blond figure that was in front of him. For a moment he hoped it was Rin but as his vision cleared and his mother's features started to take shape.

"Thank goodness you're awake! Your father and I found you passed out in the snow! You've been asleep for hours!" cried Rea as she pulled Len in for a hug.

"Sorry, mum," Len apologized. He noticed he was in his own bedroom, in his own bed. "I would have thought I'd been put in the hospital."

"You silly, silly boy! Is that why you did that? I thought you had more sense!" scolded his mother.

"Sorry…" mumbled Len.

"Never mind. Come, dinner's on the table," Rea sighed and pulled her son out of bed.

Dinner was silent. So silent it was uncomfortable. Don kept trying to perk it up, asking if anyone was in the mood for movies or chocolates but it was obvious everyone was too depressed. Len merely poked at his tempura. He felt so ill.

The phone started ringing. Since Len was the only one not eating he decided to get up and answer it. He picked it up and asked, "Hello?"

"Hello. Is this the Kagamine residence?" asked the voice. Len could tell the caller was male.

"Yes, yes this is."

"And to whom am I speaking?"

"Len Kagamine."

"Ah, Len! It's Dr. Gakupo from St. Suzunosuke's. May I speak to a parent? Your father perhaps?"

"Uh…sure," answered Len uneasily. "Dad? Phone for you!"

"Who is it, Len?" asked Don as he walked over, wiping his mouth on a napkin.

"The hospital," Len said in a worried tone.

Len's father looked rather taken aback but took the phone from his son anyway. As Don talked to Dr. Gakupo Len couldn't help but fret. What was going on? He went and sat down next to his mother for comfort.

Suddenly Don yelled, "WHAT? We'll be there right away!" He slammed down the phone. He then turned to his family and ordered, "CAR! NOW!"

Rea and Len didn't have to be told twice. Don really meant business. They grabbed their coats and ran outside after Don. They clambered into their little, red car and Len hadn't even shut the door before Don had pushed down on the accelerator. They sped through the streets as fast as lightening.

"Don! Would you like to tell me why the hell we're going so fast?" cried Rea.

"RIN!" yelled Don. "SHE'S GONE INTO THEATRE!"

Both Rea and Len gasped loudly. Rea began crying shortly after but Len remained stunned. Rin? His Rin in theatre? The thought of Rin being sliced up by strangers terrified him. He couldn't move. He couldn't think straight. Len was in shock. And no, it was nowhere near as bad as the time Rin first went into hospital. This was far, far worse.

Don skidded to a halt and the Kagamine family made a mad dash for the hospital entrance. The receptionist was rather startled by their sudden appearance. She tried to stop them as they bound towards Rin's room but it was no use. They were far to determined.

They burst through the door to Rin's room to find a woman with white hair. She gave them an odd look but quickly turned serious and asked, "I'm Haku. I'm quite sure that if you're the Kagamines then you're looking for Rin. She's on the third floor in operating room six. I suggest you – wait!" It was too late. All three of them had already left.

While on the third floor they bumped into Gumi. She looked close to tears which was understandable. Gumi had been with Rin since the beginning.

"Don! Rea! Len! I'm so sorry about this," cried Gumi.

"Look, just show us where Rin is!" commanded Don.

"Right, yes. This way!" called Gumi and she started leading them to Rin. They finally reached a door that said Operating Room 6.

"I'm afraid you can't go in but there are seats here," said Gumi apologetically and gestured to plastic, green seats. Don and Rea sat down but Len stayed up. He wasn't going to rest until he knew Rin was alright.

After pacing back and forth for almost twenty minutes Len looked down to his watch. 23:12. Soon it would be Christmas day. Oh, what a merry Christmas they were having! Len's legs were growing shaky and when he wasn't looking his mother pulled him down onto her lap.

"M-Mum!" panicked Len.

"Look, you can't spend all night pacing back and forth. You're lucky we haven't sent you home. Just calm down and try to relax," soothed Rea. Len gave in but wriggled off Rea's lap. He put his head in his hands and sighed yet again.

Gumi walked out of the room with a worried expression. "Things aren't…aren't looking too good…"

Things were starting to blow up inside Len. He stood up, pointed at Gumi and asked, "What the hell is wrong with her anyway?!"

"It's her heart Len," sighed Don. "A rare disease."

"YOU ONLY BOTHER TO TELL ME THIS NOW!" Len practically screamed.

Rea frowned and said, "We didn't want you to get upset and-"

"Gumi! We need you! NOW!" called a voice. Gumi jumped and quickly sped off.

Len sat down again and began rocking back and forth. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours. He could hardly take it anymore.

Suddenly Gumi reappeared but something was wrong. The Kagamines looked up hopefully. Gumi shook her head and began crying. Dr. Gakupo walked out, taking off his gloves and said, "I'm so, so sorry."

Everything stopped. Len's breathing, heart and even time. Len couldn't bring any words to his lips. Nothing would come. But the deafening silence was soon replaced my something far worse. Len's screaming.

"RIN!" Len screamed at the top off his lungs. "RIN! RIN! RIN!"

Without thinking he pushed passed Gakupo and into the operating room. Doctors and nurses gave him puzzled and rather surprised looks but he couldn't care less. His eyes were only sent on one thing. The bed in the centre of the room. Something was lying on it under a white sheet. Len didn't dare think what it was. He ran towards it, screaming Rin's name over and over. He was so distracted he didn't notice wires sprawled out across the floor. He tripped, fell and his head collided hard with the bed's metal bars. Everything went black.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Len opened his eyes and saw nothing but white. His head was killing and he felt a bit sick. He couldn't remember anything. He slowly sat up and looked around. Len felt like he was in the middle of a cloud. He stood up and looked some more for something, anything! For a very scary moment he wandered of he was in heaven.

"Len!" called a sweet voice.

Len turned to face where the voice was coming from and laughed. There, pulling a goofy face, was his beloved sister, Rin. She ran up to him and gave him a hug that made him feel all warm inside. Only Rin was capable of those hugs.

She drew pack and smiled. Then she pulled an evil grin and giggled, "Can't catch me!" She ran off leaving Len confused. "Come on silly! Don't you wanna play in the snow?"

Snow? So that's what the white stuff was! Len looked down to find he was wearing a big, yellow coat with orange mittens. Rin was the same just with an orange coat and yellow mittens. Instead of her bow she had white, woolly hat. Her nose was red and her eyes sparkled. Len was so glad to have such a pretty sister.

Len ran after Rin, laughing and giggling. He picked up some snow and started chucking snowballs at her. Rin threw some in return. Eventually he caught up to the slightly slower girl and tackled her down into the snow. They were nothing but a load of tangled arms and legs. They stopped, looked at each other and burst out into laughter.

Rin found Len's neck and tickled him like there was no tomorrow. Len, who was quite sure he was going to pass out from giggling, grabbed Rin's waist and tickled her tummy through her coat. She shrieked at him to stop but the smile on her face just made Len go on. Len would do anything to see Rin's smile.

"Alright! That's enough!" cried Rin with tears in her eyes.

Len did as he was told and let her be. He then lay down in the snow and started making a snow angel. Rin copied him and soon there were two perfect angels laying on the ground. Rin stopped moving her arms and crawled on top of Len. She lay her head on his chest and sighed happily.

"I've missed you, Len."

"Missed me?"

Suddenly things came flooding back. Rin's disease, the hospital, the terrible Christmas Eve…Len began sniffing and soon tears were streaming down his face.

"Len!" said Rin in alarm and she lifted her head up to look him in the eye. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, Rin," sobbed Len and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "I…I can't lose you!"

"So…you remembered?" asked Rin sadly.

"Yes! You've got to come home. Please, don't go!" plead Len and only squeezed Rin tighter.

Rin sat up, smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, Len."

"W-what? Rin why now when – oh!"

When Len looked again, Rin was gone.

"Rin! Rin, what happened?"

"Shh, Len," soothed Rin's voice. It seemed to be echoing around him. "You're waking up."

"NO! I don't want to wake up! I'm not living in a world without you in it!"

"Bye bye Len, for now!"

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Len woke up. At first he simply enjoyed being comfy in bed but then he remembered Rin. He didn't want to open his eyes. He knew what he'd have to face. No matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't deny reality. Rin was gone.

He sat up but still wouldn't open his eyes. He had a good mind to block his ears as well.

"Len!"

Who was that? The voice was female. Probably his mother, seeing if he was awake.

"Len!"

No, wait. His mother's voice was deeper than that. Perhaps it was Gumi.

"Lenny!"

Ok, he gave up.

Len snapped open his eyes and looked around. He wasn't surprised to find himself in a hospital bed. He was wearing a spotty night gown and noticed a wet cloth had fallen onto his lap. He reached up and felt his forehead. No wonder his head was hurting so badly. He had a lovely lump there. Perfect.

"Len!"

"What?" snapped Len.

He turned to the right to find another hospital bed in his room. Looking closer he noticed there was someone in it. That someone had blond hair and beautiful, azure eyes. It was…It was Rin!

"Rin!" cried Len and jumped off his bed. Ignoring his dizziness he soared over to the laughing girl and wrapped his arms around her. "You're alive! You're alive! I'm so glad!" he exclaimed and felt tear well up in his eyes. He was surprised he had anymore left in him.

After many hugs and kisses Len asked, "But how?"

"Yes, Rinny. How?" asked Don. Rea and Gumi were standing next to him. Len was so distracted with his twin he hadn't noticed them.

"Rin flat lined. We tried everything but it was no use and we were positive she was gone," sighed Gumi. "But after you, Len, ran in she perked up and we were able to recover her heartbeat. But…how?" asked Gumi looking puzzled.

"Rin?" asked Len.

"I was stuck in that snowy place," explained Rin.

"What? You mean, the place we were? You know about that too?"" Len asked.

"Yes! I knew I was being treated. My heart hurt. But suddenly the pain was unbearable. I collapsed and I almost gave in. If it wasn't for hearing you call me, Len, I would have given up."

Rin smiled wider and said, "As soon as I stood up again, I saw you in the distance."

"Len. You ran in the room at exactly 11:59pm. Rin's heart beat again at midnight, the first minute of Christmas day," said Gumi with a grin.

"A Christmas miracle indeed," commented Rea.

The adults continued chatting about how lucky and special the twins were. But they weren't listening. Len had climbed up onto the bed next to Rin. He wrapped his arm around her being careful not to hurt her for she was surly still in pain from the operation.

Rin snuggled into Len's neck and sighed, "I guess we're back together."

"Yes, yes we are! I can't wait for you to come home now. Wait till you see your Christmas present!" said Len excitedly as he placed his chin on the hop of Rin's head. "Merry Christmas, Rin."

"Merry Christmas, Len," said Rin.

Unknown to the happily chatting adults, the twins fell fast asleep in each other's arms. They were over the moon. They'd both gotten the Christmas present they wanted.

The twins were together again.
