Violet smiled to herself as she gazed upon the party. Everybody was here. Sable was having a drinking contest with Axel while Roy and Mato were cheering them on, Gray was talking to Kira and Jade about anime, Joshua was playing mech game against Aleria and the Storm twins and was currently winning, and Lily and Viri were wolfing down as much food as they could. They were a bunch of misfits. But they were also her friends.
She cleared her throat, catching the attention of everyone present. "Hey everyone. Just want to thank you all for coming out here tonight," Violet paused, then continued. "This year had its ups and downs. Things happened, shit went down, and things got fucked up. But," she said, "there is no other group of people I would want to go through it with. Now went that out of the way," she moved to the side to reveal a TV counting down.
"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
"7!"
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"HAPPY NEW YEAR MOTHERFUCKERS!" cried Violet.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MOTHERFUCKERS. LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
