Natalya's POV
So we had our Halloween party last month and Mei do my make up and Lin fixed my hair, I serve the boys and customers with some gore-themed meals and… Toris and I just went to the Henna tattoo booth for a mean time; I saw that he's really happy while we were having fun… Our customers were a kinda naughty like the Nordics and some of the Asians.
It's almost December, and Christmas is coming. I never felt the Spirit of Christmas since I was a kid, because my brother was ignoring me and my sister is just treating me like a kid and keeps on pushing my face on her chest that I could barely breathe. Even in my past school years, I have been bullied and none of my classmates would give me some gift, only my sister and my brother. For years have past, I've become too gloomy and emotional at all times, I never find fun or entertainment but only on my brother whom I always got freaked about with some gory movies and all the alike.
Good thing that I have friends in school especially Toris. My being anxious is decreasing by time…
Toris' POV
I waked up in the morning, its 16 of November, at 6:00 am, we have no classes because it's Saturday. I waked up too early and I'm used to it anyway. Even if there's no school on weekends, I still get up early. I take my bath and wear my green undershirt and my black shorts. "Good morning mom," I said, "Good morning!" he replied as she was making some cross stitch of flowers silently. "Breakfast's over there." She said not making any eye contact on me. "Okay, thanks." I awkwardly went to the table and spread some butter on my bread and toast it.
"So mom, did you take your breakfast already?" I asked while waiting but she didn't reply.
"Mom?"
"What? What is it?"
"I'm asking if you already ate your breakfast." I said. "Oh, yeah, I already ate." She said and the bread had already toasted; I took them and ate on my plate. "Is there anything bothering you?" I asked and she stopped stitching. She's really serious on her face and very stern.
"Uhm, Mom?"
"Toris, I don't want you to be mad but…."
MONDAY… Break time…
Normal POV
"Hey you guys! Christmas vacation is coming!" Tino said, "I'm so much exited about the gifts!" "And parties!" Amelia added, "Yeah! How bout we could have some party at our house! How's that sound, hey Toris!" he nudged him at his shoulder. "Wha-? Uhm yeah, that sounds nice." He muttered, "You seemed very unhappy today, c'mon, it will be soon!" he smiled. "Yeah, Sorry," he smiled weakly. "Is there anything bothering you?"He asked,
"Nah, its nothing," Mo… What was SHE thinking?!
"Okay. It's up to you," he tapped his shoulder. "So, what's the plan?" Arthur asked, "Well, maybe we could go to an outing first at my house and we will go to the forest to see the fireworks and we will do some exchange gifts there!" Tino replied. "Well, I suggest that we could have some Monito-monita!" Maria suggested eating some chips. "What is that?" Lovino asked.
"In my country, whenever we have our Christmas party, we will write our codenames on a small piece of paper and we will put them on a bowl and we will scramble them and everyone will pick it up and will give something to what he or she just picked and he or she will see what the receiver wants such as 'something fluffy' like that or 'something girly. Was it fine?" She asked, "Sou desu ne, I think it would be fine." Kiku sipped his milk tea, "We should asked every body about this so that twe could count who would join or not." Gilbert chomped his crispy, chicken sandwich. "So, who would like to join?" Tino asked, "I'm not sure because maybe I will celebrate Christmas with my family." Lili looked at his brother. "And sometimes it's not safe in the forest you know," Vash added. "Okay, whatever taste your buds," Arthur drink his soda. "So, our vacation will start at December 15 and ends with the 7th of January, want it to be for an overnight?" Tino counted on his hands.
"Seriously?!" Amelia almost choked her burger but she manages to swallow it. "Yeah, We should spend our last Christmas in our High school life!" Tino raised his fist in the air and everyone cheered.
No way… Toris thought. College huh…
"Toris! Are you alright, man?" Feliks patted his shoulder, "Yeah, I'm fine," h smiled back. "I know that we will be graduating soon and some of us will change their schools and w will have our different courses. But I hope that we will be together at this same University." He sighed.
"Yeah…"
"Well, it's almost time, lets head to our classrooms already." Jun checked his watch. The students now went to their classes to study.
"Class, I think you should cherish your last Christmas as high school here, you know that high school is one of the happiest moments of one's life. Because when you go to college, you can't almost do anything because you're always busy and some of you will be at the other universities and some you guys might have different courses, so don't let this happy moments vanish away while you were free." Mr. Aberdeen sighed.
"Geez, time flies so fast…." Antonio sighed as he plays with his ball pen.
"I can't imagine college Toni, What courses will you take anyway?"
"No lo sé mi amigo…" he sighed
"But of course, I know that you have your family to spend your Christmas, I'm not saying that you can't celebrate with them you know!" He smiled. "Yeah, Toni, can you adjust the schedule so that we can also spend our Christmas with our family?" Feliciano asked. "Yeah, I was thinking that we should have our Christmas party help at 29th day of December, so that we can celebrate it at the exact day of the Holidays with them." He said. "Okay! So we could have our time to relax and to have fun during winter!" Elizaveta raised her hand. "So no that the schedule has adjusted, Vash, would you come now?" Tino asked. "I'll think about it." he looks at the window.
"Aww, C'mon Vash, This is our last as High school!" Matthias gave him a nudge. "He's right bruder, I would also like to spend Christmas with our friends. And please, would at least for one day, could you and Roderich will not argue this time?" Lili asked
"Yeah, fine."
"Sounds good to me," Roderich fixed his glasses upward.
"Well then, I guess we should stop the commercial and go back to our lesson." Mr. Aberdeen ended their conversation. "Every one please open your books on pages 317-330, I want you to read them SILENTLY for twenty minutes and we will have a Thirty five-item quiz about it." he said as the students obeyed immediately and started reading silently. "Ugh! This lesson is so hard and how could we possibly study this for twenty minutes?" Amelia complained silently. "Hush Amy! He will hear you!" Elizaveta said, "Is there some thing wring Ms. Jones?" Their teacher asked. "No, nothing at all sir." She replied.
"Five minutes left," he said. The students began to study and memorizing as hard as they could until their time is up. "Okay, time's up. The type of test that we would have is Modified true or false, essays and analization." He said, "In the first test, in true or false, I will dictate the question and I will only repeat the question once, you have two ears to write isn't? And lastly, ERASURES ARE CONSIDERED WRONG." He finished. "Any other questions?" he asked, "None sir." They replied. "Then let's begin. Number one…" they worked on their test for ten minutes they finished and Arthur collected the papers alphabetically.
"Here they are sir." He handles him the papers. "Thank you, it's their responsibility whether they want to pass it or not." Mr. Aberdeen fixed the papers. "Enjoy your Christmas vacation!" he smiled and he exited the room.
"Okay! Let's start making our Monito-monita! As what have Maria said to do, we should write our names on a small piece of paper and we will write something according what we want! " Feliks said. "I will just put this container here and drop your entry in it." he said. Everybody write their codenames and their wish list on the paper.
"Okay, done! Now let's pick our buddies in here!" Feliks said as he roamed around with the container and they picked some papers in it…
"Who did you got?" Matthias asked to Toris, "Well, it says here…" he reads, "From Rainbow Pony: something pony-related or something pink." He pouted,
"Ooohhh…"
"Bella, what did it say?" Elizaveta peeks on her paper, "From Troll-lol-lolz: Something about mythical creatures… ¬_¬" she reads, "Maybe its Arthur…" Elizaveta commented,
"We can't tell…"
DISMISSAL…
"My, good thing that the teachers didn't give us some projects and assignment!" Michelle said as she was walking along the girls. "Yeah, it should be, because we don't have anytime to make those while spending it with our family." Lin sighed. "Will you come at the party with Tino?" Bella asked. "Yeah, I think so." Michelle said.
"How would you spend your Christmas with your family then?" Bella asked. "Well, I'm not actually a Christian, but Christmas was only a festive event and we only eat with our family and give gifts to each other." Lin explained. "Yeah, same as mine!" Mei said from behind. "How 'bout you Maria?" Natalya asked. "Well, as a Catholic, we have our tradition to attend Misa de gallo. We also have Simbang Gabi. Which it is held at dawn, and if we completed those 9 days attending the mass, they said that your wish will come true!" She smiled.
"Whoa, really?!" Amelia's eyes widened. "Yeah! That's what my lola and lolo said." She replied. "Well, I think I should be getting home now, Sige, Paalam sa inyo!" she waved as Maria's parents were there to fetch her.

They finished their conversation and Tino rested for a while and closed his red and silver laptop. He lied down his bed and starts pondering to plan what they will do for minutes. He was wondering how everybody is now at their vacation. Especially with Toris. He's been not in the mood for weeks during this Holiday Season, and he even volunteered to bring some food and said he would bring important things such as mats or music no to be bored maybe. He decided to call him.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Tino? Why did'dya call?"
"Man, are you okay? You don't sound fine," he said. "Nah, I'm fine here. I'm just resting. Why did you call anyway?" h asked groggily. "Well, I was wondering if there's anything that bothers you and I'm surprised that you will take the responsibility for the event." he pauses. "By the way, what will you do in your Christmas with your family?" He asked. "Uhm, Go home in my country and spend with them for four days starting at twenty-four till twenty-six of December, it means that I still have time to rest." he replied. "Okay, I hope you're fine there. Merry Christmas Toris!" Tino greeted him, "Merry Christmas!" he replied and their talk ended.
December25….
"Yeeey! We're here fratello!" Feliciano blocked the sunlight to his face seeing the beautiful city of Venice. "Yeah, I know that brat," Lovino hissed. "~Veh… It's almost Christmas! Try to cool off your head you know." He take his neck by his arm and messes hair up. "Shit! Stop it Feliciano! Alright! Alright!" he pushed him away. "Why don't we come home and make pasta?" he pulled him and he trots and ride a boat, "H-hey… Wait!" they rode smoothly by the canals of Venice seeing the streetlights and lanterns of it. "Hey Lovino, maybe we should be the one cooking this time for Christmas," Feliciano smiled. "Okay, whatever you want," he smiled a bit, "May be I will cook Fettuccine Alfredo for pasta and cheese straws!" he said cheerfully, "Fine, just leave the Tomato and Mozzarella Tart and the red wine to me." He grinned.
"Buon Natale, Fratello," Lovino patted him on his back
"Buon Natale!" he smiled
~X~X~X~X~X~
"Hey, bruder, what are you doing?" Gilbert peeps at the kitchen. "Wha-what?!" he almost slipped the bowl off his hands. "W-well, I… Uhm, as you can see Gilbert, I'm… I'm baking." He looked quite embarrassed, "Well, that looks delicious you know Luddy, what is this anyway?" he sniffed the air. "Oh, its, Apple and Raisin Deep Pie, just wait a moment then we will eat this after it bakes." He said pouring them on a pan and slid it inside the oven. "Okay, I will cook also some German Potato Salad and Grilled pork tenderloin and beer." He said as he pulled his sleeves up and prepared the utensils and the ingredients outside the refrigerator. "Well, let's get going!" he said as they together cooked for Christmas…
"Frohe Weichnachten, bruder!" Gilbert showed his wide smile,
"Frohe Weichnachten." He smiled
~X~X~X~X~X~
"Meri Kurisumasu!" Kiku takes out a miso and rice balls on his tray on his arms. "Hey, Kiku, How do you find Christmas on your place right now-aru?" Yao asked "Hehe, even though I'm not a Christian, I stirr (Still) enjoy eating with my kawaii friends and Pochi-kun!" he pats his dog gently. "Why are you here any ways Yao-kun?" he asked, "Well, I can't celebrate it so well, then I thought I just wanna hang out with you-aru!" he smiled as he poured some sake on his cup. "Oh, You're just staying here-aru?"he asked, "Yes, actuarry, I was thinking that I wourd have a Christmas shopping this night and-"
"Then let's go together-aru!" Yao smiled, "Is it okay for you?" Kiku was confused, "Yeah! Its not nice to celebrate Christmas here alone!" he said, "Arigatou gusaimasu Yao-kun!" he bowed, "I wirr (will) just get my things and change into my winter clothes," he said as he went upstairs and change his clothes into thicker ones. "Let's get going!" Yao pulled him outside of the sliding door and rode a taxi and went to a Christmas shopping and take pictures around as Christmas jingles were heard around the place… "Merry Christmas!" Kiku said to Yao and gave him a stuff panda bear, "Xie xie! Merry Christma- aru!" he smiled, "Oh, here's for you-aru!" he gave him a Doraemon plushie. "Arigatou! Kawaii desu!" he smiled
~X~X~X~X~X~
December 28…
Toris's POV
I went shopping with my friends to buy what we need for the party. I asked Eduard to but the food while Raivis is for the equipments that we need, mine was to buy all of them some gifts, especially to the one I just picked. I wandered and asked the sales lady where I can buy stuffed-ponies. "Oh, is it for your girlfriend?" she asked, "What?! No, we just draw lots and we should give a gift for the one we just picked, and he/she wants it to be pony-related or anything pink." I explained, embarrassed. "Okay, this way please," she said as she leads the way and we stopped at the toys section.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome!" she smiled as she left. I choose a cute pink pony with a purple mane on its body. I bought it and decided to buy what I need to buy for my friends. "Hey, Toris!" somebody called form behind, I turned around and it was Eduard and Raivis
"Hey,"
"Is this okay? My! Are you sure that you can do this? I mean, you would really take the responsibility for the party?" he asked curiously as I looked at his push cart. "Yeah, its okay." I smiled, "What are those?" Raivis asked sarcastically and points at my push cart, "Well, this is nothing," I tried to look away. "Hmn, Okay." Eduard raised an eyebrow. "I think that's enough for all of us," I tried to change the topic, "Thank you for helping me guys!" he smiled, "Let's get home these now." Raivis smiled as we rode down the escalator as we saw the girls on the other side of the escalator going up. "Hey, Is that Natalya?" Raivis looked at them as well as them, "Yeah, I think they will have their Christmas shopping too." I said as they landed and walked away through the parking lot and rode on Eduard's Fortuna.
Normal POV…
"How's your Christmas Toris?" Eduard looked at the mirror to look at him, "Its fine, actually," he said, "Your 'fine' doesn't seemed looked fine…" He said, "Tss… Shut up." He grinned, as Eduards and Raivis looked at each other, confused "What's wrong with him?" Eduard asked to Raivis as they continued their journey towards Toris' home.
"I'm home…" Toris opened the door and and kisses hr mom's cheek weakly and went upstairs. "Honey, where are you going?" she asked, "Gonna change my clothes mom." He said, went inside his room and locked it. "Uhm, I think we should left these her, Mrs. Laurinatis," Eduard said politely. "Oh, thank you! Are this for your party?" she asked, "Yes, there's a lot of them actually!" Raivis let out a light laugh, "Well then, see you again boys!" she waved her hand as the two head on their way.
Toris sighed and tiresomely lied on his bed. Hmn, maybe I can tell it to them someday what's wrong… he thought.
December 29, Morning…
Gilbert yawned and stretch on his bed. He did his daily routines and eats his breakfast downstairs. "Guten morgen mutti, guten morgen bruder!" he greets them groggily. "You'd better have your mouth wash," Ludwig drinks his coffee and Gilbert smelled his breath. "Oh, sorry, I'm gonna wash my mouth now." He said, "By the way, when will your will held?" his mother said. "Uhm, he said it's at four." He went at the bathroom to wash his mouth. "Well, do you have already something for Lizzy?" Ludwig cooed from the door.
"What?!"
"C'mon, don't tell me that you don't have any for your girlfriend." He leaned at the doorstep. "Yeah, and also some of my friends." he puts some toothpaste on his brush and starts brushing his teeth. "Okay, good luck then," Ludwig exited from behind. Gilbert finished and wore his gym clothes and puts his jacket on to have some workout. "Gotta go now mom," he said brining his bag. "Where would you go?" she asked, "I will just go for a workout." He said adjusting his shoes, "You're not going alone, you know." Ludwig said from behind. "Fine, we'll be back before lunch!" he closed the door from behind and they went to the gym.
"Hey Gil!"
"Toni! You're here," Gilbert greeted, "Isn't obvious?" he raised an eyebrow. "Well yeah, like what I said." He revealed his black undershirt and get his towel. "¡Feliz Navidad!" Antonio smiled and went to lift some barbells, "So, What happened during your Christmas?" Gilbert asked, "Well, I celebrate it with my family, we went to the Church together and…" he pauses, "Give gifts to each other." he said as he lift the barbells fir a second time. "Well, look who's here…" a woman's voice was heard. "Amy! A lady like you is working out here also?" Gilbert was surprised while concentrating on his treadmill, "Well of course I am! A heroine like me needs to have a shape you know," he frowned and drinks some water on her bottle. "You sure you can handle these things?" Antonio asked, "Of course I can! Wanna bet?" she proudly pushed Antonio aside and inserts three barbells on the each end of the metal rod and lied down and lifted them much faster than any other guys around.
"Whoa…" People were astonished as they some boys take pictures at her. "Well?" she raised an eyebrow. "Oh… 'kay, you won," Antonio smiled and shook hands with her. "By the way, Belated Merry Christmas guys!" she smiled. "You coming later at Tino's house?" he asked. "Yeah sure! The girls were coming too." She stretched her arms and sat for a while. "We'll be out here before lunch." Antonio said as he removes his shirt and wiped his sweat. "Okay, I'll give you a ride after this. Is it alright?" Amelia asked "Yeah, sure! Thanks." Gilbert panted as he keeps on running on the treadmill. "Liz says she can't workout with me because-"
"Wait, Lizzy is working out too?" Gilbert stopped and almost tripped on his running. "Yeah, don't you know? She's attending some martial arts class and some fencing training." She explained. "How many martial arts does she know?" Gilbert asked. "I dunno… maybe 5?" she counted.
"FIVE?!"
"Yeah, that includes Karate, Taekwondo and Kung-fu." She said. "Well, Its 11:30 already! Gotta go now guys!" she said as they changed her clothes into normal ones and they rode on her van until they arrived on Gilbert's house. "We're here Gilbert!"Ludwig said. "Thanks for the ride Amy!" Gilbert tapped the glass on her window. "No problem! See 'ya later!"
"We're home!"
"Boys! You're just in time!" their mother said. "I already made you some lunch." She said. "Thanks mom." They said as they ate their lunch together. "Thanks for the food mom." Gilbert said, "I will just change my clothes upstairs." He went upstairs and changes his clothes then his phone rang. Its Toris.
"Hello?"
"Hi, its me, uhm, I will gonna fetch you guys later at 2:30 okay? Because I will gonna fetch you all guys, while Im's gonna fetch the Asians. Is that fine?" he asked. "Uhm yeah, but, is it alright for you? I mean you almost take the responsibilities for the party." He asked curiously. "Nah, its fine, hehe. Merry Christmas Gil!" Toris said.
"Yeah, Merry Christmas too, bye!" he ended the call and he grooms himself. He wears his yellow shirt with red jacket on and his black scarf. He also wears his black pants and white rubber shoes with his gray inside to keep him warm. "I'm all set!" he said walking downstairs. "But its too early! Its 1:30 pm!" Ludwig said. "Yeah. But Toris will gonna fetch me at 2:30, so while waiting, I will rest here at the fireplace. " he sat near by the fire and read some books about adventures.
What's wrong with Toris anyway? He thought.
"Honey! Toris is here!"
"Ja! Coming!" he said as he gets his backpack and went out. "Bye, mom!" he said and went inside Toris' van. "Take care!" she waved as she wrapped her shawl from the house. "Hi Gilbert!" Elizaveta kissed him on the cheek. "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas too Liz!" he smiled. "So, who are we still gonna fetch?" Francis asked from behind. "Amy and Michelle. The Nordics and the two were already at Tino's house for help." Toris answered. "Long time no see guys!" Arthur smiled. "I will give your gifts later on!" he said. "Don't be a spoiler!" Bella cried. "It's okay Bella, he said it to be suspense." Antonio assured her. "Yeah. With his Scones…" Francis muttered. "Excuse me frog?" he grinned. "Nothing I was just talking to myself." He pouted. "Don't try to deny it frog!" Arthur smacked him on his back. "That's why I hate black sheep!" Francis yelled.
"SHEEP?!" Nicholas cried.
"SHUT IT NICK!" They yelled.
"Fine…"
"We're here! Amy's house." Toris announced. "Whoa…" lights and lanterns were surrounded around Amelia's mansion and a giant Santa-cowboy-version was waving at them. "I need some sunglasses…"Feliciano blocked the light from his eyes. "Yep! This lights and lanterns were imported and has very high in brightness!" she smiled. "Well, we'd better be off now!" she went onside and tapped the car from the window. "Next stop, is on Michelle's house…" Elizaveta said. "I wonder what will her house looks like." Bella wondered. "It's the first time that I will go to her house." She added. "Well, I saw it already when we had our meeting on her house with the other presidents from other sections." Arthur said munching some chocolate. "Hey, gimme that!" Amelia snatch the chocolate form his hands. "I thought that you were on a workout?" Gilbert asked, "Yeah, but I also want chocolates you know!" she pouted.
"Look! It's Michelle!" Bella pointed at the house filled with Beach/Ocean-themed Christmas lights with Sailor Santa and some of his dolphins as his reindeers on a ship. "Hallo guys!" she waved and she went inside of the van. "You have a summer on your Christmas huh?" Arthur asked. "Well, yeah, just for a change." She smiled. "Is Tino's house far?" Michelle asked. "Not really, it's 3:00 already, we need to be there at 3:30 for some extra time." Toris replied.
Tino's POV…
The seven of us prepared the room for the party. I checked my watch and its 3:00 already. My house was all set and our back forest was also set for some grill and bonfire later. "Thank you guys for helping me up!" I said. "N' pr'bl'm." Berwald replied in his sternly face. "Great! I'm sure that they will love this!" I sighed with relief. "Yeah, the three of us buys these things at the mall!" Eduard stretched. "That's good!" I said. Suddenly, we heard a beeping sound outside. I hurriedly opened the gate and I saw the Asians.
"Aiyah! Hello Tino-aru!" Yao wraps my neck using his arm and messes my hair. "Merry Christmas-aru!" he smiled. "Haha! Merry Christmas too Yao!" I chuckled. "It's cold! I wanna make some snowman while waiting!" Mei said huffing her hands to keep her warm. "It's okay. You may do it while the others are not here." I smiled. "Please come inside!"I invited the others to come while Im, Mei, Kiku and Yao were playing outside. "Have a seat. Let me prepare you some hot chocolate." I offered. "Oh, thanks Tino!" Lin said. "No problem." I smiled, I went to our kitchen and I suddenly heard another beeping sound outside.
Normal POV…
"HELLO GUYS!" Amelia banged the door in. "Hi Amy!" Lin greeted, "Where are the others?" Elizaveta asked "Oh, they're playing snow outside." Jun replied. "You're here! Merry Christmas Guys! Have some Holiday cookies and Hot choco for a while," Tino cam out with tray of treats on his hands. "Yay!" Amelia was about to grab the cookies, "Well maybe later, gotta hang out with them first!" she went outside and play with the others.
"Ow!"
"Hahaha! Got 'ya Im!" Amelia laughs at the top of her lungs, "Take this!" he scooped some snowball and throw some at her. "Ha! Missed me!- OW!"
"Guess who…" Mei cooed.
"Haha!"
"Hey! Am I the only one here?" she looked depressed when she heard an "OW!" at the otherside. The snowball was coming form behind. "Nope." Bella said with Gilbert, Antonio and Elizaveta. "Hey that's unfair! We lack some team mates!" Im yelled. "I'll join," Jun said from behind. "Okay, let's have a game," Tino said form the door. "You guys need to have a wall made out of snow each and that will serve as your protection. And if whose wall was first to be knocked down, will be loose. " he explained.
"And if someone wins?" Antonio asked. "They will have gifts form me!" he smiled. "Okay, each of you has given 5 minutes to make your walls. Eduard, you'll check the time for me." He said. "Yes sir!" Eduards sets his watch."Ready… set… GO!" they all began doing their walls and they even use some shovel to make it thicker.
"Hey Toris, why don't you join them?" Natty asked, "Well, I don't want to because you didn't join them." He smirked at her as she blushes. "Merry Christmas Natty," he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
"Uhm Natty,"
"Hmn?"
"There is something that I would talk about,"
"What?" she asked

"Okay time's up! It's time for some-"
"SNOW FIGHTING!" Amelia yelled as she throw a handful of snowballs on her hands. "Shoot! I got something on my eye!" Bella complained. "Lemme see…" Antonio looked into her eyes, "There's nothing wrong, you've got Dreamboat, Emerald eyes…" he teased. "Stop it! I'm serious there's something in my eye!" she yelled and blushed as their teammates were fighting behind. "Open them," he ordered, "Oh, it's just dirt, but don't scratch them." He blows her eyelids and kissed them.
"Hey! Stop making out or we'll loose!" Gilbert yelled. "We're not making out!" Bella shouted. "Oh… Winter's going to be hot,hot, HOT!" Im yelled on the other side. "Shut up and throw balls at them!" Elizaveta ordered,
"Yes Ma'm!" they puzzled. "Geez! Our wall is almost half!" Gilbert muttered, "Hahaha! Loosers! –OMPH!" Im shouted and a snowball was caught on his mouth. "Imma gonna freeze ya mouth!" Amelia shouted as she continued throwing balls at them and their wall was smashed.
"Wahahaha! We won! We won! " Amy stuck her tongue out at them, "Hey! That was only a lucky-shot!" I'm points at her. "Well, I think the winners are Amy's team!" Tino cheered. "Here guys are your prizes." He handles them snow globes with their favorite item inside. "Wow! There's a cute waffle miniature inside!" Bella played with her snow globe. "The 'syrup' was made of amber." He smiled. "Oh, Everything should be fair this Christmas. So here you go guys!" Tino handed the Asians their snow globes. "Sugoi! There's a Hamtarou inside! Kawaii!" Kiku shakes his prize. "Ai…yah… Hello Kitty-aru!" Yao cooed. "Well, why don't we go know inside to keep us warm?" Tino said. "Okay! It's freezing outside anyways." Elizaveta rubs her shoulders.
"Why don't we play some thing?" Feliks asked, "Like what?" Lovino huffed. "Like Scrabble!" he suggested. "Nah, Scrabbles are for nerds." Lovino pouted. "Well I like playing Scrabble!" Bella said from behind. "Fine, I'll join you guys." He said. "Okay, we lacked a player here!" Feliks called, "I'll join!" Mei volunteered. "You guys play the scrabble while we play the Pictureka!" Elizaveta said together with Kiku, Amelia and Arthur. "Okay, I'll go first, then Bella, Mei and you." Feliks instructed. "What?! Why I'm the last one?!" he pouted.
"Lady's first…"
"Gay…"
"What?! I'm not a gay!" Feliks stood up from his seat. "Oh yes you are, high-shool-girl!" Lovino raised his voice. "Boys, boys, calm down will 'ya?" Bella pulled them down.
"He started it!"
"No! He started it!"
"They surely having fun, don't they?" Toris sighed as he was sipping his hot cappuccino outside by the railing of the house. "Yeah, time goes fast huh." Gilbert agreed.
"Toris,"
"What?"
"How come you're not with Natty?" he asked. "I don't know Gil, maybe she was depressed about me or something." He said. "What did you talked about any way?" he asked, "It's because my mom told me that I will be off to college in my country and not to study here anymore." He paused, followed by an awkward silence.
"Hahaha! You're kidding right! That's… that's a nice Christmas joke you have there pal!"
Another awkward silence…
"No way… seriously? B-but why?" Gilbert asked. "I don't know, it's my mom's decision, I don't have anything to do with it anymore." Tears began to form in his eyes. "Tss… Too gay to cry am I?" he sniffed. "Nein… I just can't believe that you're transferring school." Gilbert paused. "So, you just take all the responsibilities just to cherish your moments with us haven't you?" Gilbert asked. "Yeah, but, Gil."
"Yeah?"
"Please don't tell these to anybody? I already told this to Natty early so that I wouldn't surprise her much further." He explained. "Okay, I won tell." He smiled and hugged him for a moment. "Thanks Gilbert." He smiled. "Its an honor to have a nice friend here."
"Guys! There's a news flash here, Toris look at this!" Tino called and Toris hurriedly went inside. "A big storm hit your country!" he said, "I'm so sorry Toris…" Michelle apologized, "Its okay Mitch, and I appreciate it." he said and walk away. "Well, its 7:00 in the evening! Let's have our grilling time and the bonfire!" Tino called as he has some barbeque on his hands. Berwald and Lukas prepaired the grill, Antonio, Gilbert, Matthias and Arthur prepared the logs to sat on. Kiku, Yao and Jun prepared the twigs and Heracles brought some gasoline.
"Merry Christmas guys! Me, Francis and Nick will be on the grilling side to cooked some barbeque and hotdogs," Tino said as Heracles started to lit up the fire in the center of the circle. "It's like a ritual…" Lukas muttered. "Yeah, it is…" Arthur added. "Here we go again," Emil sighed and Berwald nodded. "Have you guys saw Natty?" Toris asked, "NO, why?" Bella replied but Toris ran away. "What's with him?"
Natalya's POV
I decided to ponder on Toris' qorrds lately and sat here along by a lake with brightness from the moon reflecting by the silver waters.
"Natty!"
"Natty! Natalya what are you doing here?" Geez… he found me. "What do you want?" I asked,"Are you still mad at me?" he asked me, panting. "I don't know," I answered. "Look, I'm so sorry if I surprised you this much and-"
"I understand." I stopped him, and stood up on the ground. "I was just… you know… surprised and hurt you know," I said. "Man! I was an idiot! I… I just don't know how to start a conversation when I was gonna say that!" he punched a tree at his side. "You know how it also hurts for me! We… we've made this so far and… and it would only ended up like this!" he used his free hand to cover his face. I lowered his arm and touched his crying face. "You said to me once, that, you will always be with me, right?" he caressed his face in tears also. "So you don't need to cry." I buried my face on his chest and cried quietly. "Wait, why… why are we crying?" he laughed, "Its Christmas right?" he said, "We should be happy!" he smiled. "Yeah, I think we should." I replied.
"Oh, I got you these…" he showed me an Amethyst, Silver necklace on a blue box that shines in the moon light. "Wow…" I'm speechless and have nothing to say. "Th-thanks Toris. I love it!" I hugged him. "Can I wear it for you?" he offered and I nodded. He swiped away my hair and he puts the necklace around my neck, I could feel his breathing and he started to sniff and kissed my neck and runs through my shoulders. "It looks good on you…"he muttered. He said as I saw our reflection at the lake looking at me. "I also have a gift for you, you know…" I said revealing a box with a small crystal structure inside: a Snowflake.
"Whoa… this is amazing, Natty! Thank you!" he said raising the gift on the moon as it shines and reflects around like disco lights. "I'm so glad that you like it!" I smiled. "Yeah, it's perfect! Thank you!" he kissed me and we went back to the place.

Normal POV…
They headed back to the bonfire as they noticed that they started the exchange gifts party and the others were grilling and burning marshmallows. "Hey they're here!" Matthias called, "Where have you been?!" Lin asked worriedly. "Wow! That's a nice necklace you have there Natalya!" Lili said as her eyes twinkled with amazement. "Yes, Toris gave it to me." She touched the stone from her neck. "Speaking of which, You haven't still give your gift to your 'buddy'!" Gilbert reminds him. "Okay, wait here a sec," he went inside and gets his gift under the Christmas tree. "Okay, his/her codename was Rainbow Pony, and it says that it wants to have pony-related or any thing pink." He announced.
"It you say?!" someone called form behind. "So you're the one, Feliks! Here, Merry Christmas!" he hands him his gift. "Why thank you Toris!" he smiled. "Bella, you're next!" Tino said. "Okay, mine was Troll-lol-lolz: he said he wants to have something about mythical creatures. So I have him this!" she showed a one set of Harry Potter books. "Thank you Bella," someone poked her from behind,
"Eh?" she turned around and it was Lukas. "Oh, its you! Merry Christmas!" she smiled and handles the gift. "Thank you!" he smiled handsomely.
"Woooow…"The girls were astonished and were head over heels when he smiled. "I just squirted…"Lin buried her face while Michelle bites her hankerchief. "Stop bein' a chick-magnet Lukas!" Matthias yelled.
"What?" Lukas asked as if nothing happened
"Will you smile again please?" Mei asked. "I can't…" he replied. "Let's tickle him!" Amelia shouted. "Sorry. Don't have any tickling points…" he said.
"Aww…"
"Don't worry, I'll tell his point later…" Emil whispered to Michelle.
"Yes!"
"What was that Emil…."
"Nothing, I need to go to the toilet." He escaped. "Well, let's have some fireworks display!" Matthias yelled. "I brought some –aru!" Yao brought a handful of fireworks on his hands. "Let me lit 'em for 'ya!" Im brings out his lighter. "Hey! watch it-aru!" he avoids Im's lighter and placed it down the hill near them.
"FIRE IN THE HALL!" he shouted as he lit them up in the sky as it explodes. Different colors and shapes were seen as if they were fireflies and shooting stars. "Merry Christmas Gil!" Elizaveta hand him a small package. "May I?" he asked. "Of course! Open it!" she said excitedly as he rips of the white and gold paper, reveals a chick stuff toy. "Wow, it looks like…Gilbird, Hahaha!" he laughs as he squeezed the stuff toy. "Thank you! Wait, I also got you this." He smiled and gets something from behind and gives her a box with forest-green leather watch and the body was painted in gold with white diamond as the numbers inside. "Oh my gosh! This is so much! You didn't have too give me such these!" she hugged him and kissed him as he pulled her closer and caress her hair for a moment and pulled away. "Thanks Gilbert." She muttered as she lean onto him and watches the fireworks on the sky.
"Hey," Arthur sat beside Amelia on the log. "Yo Artie!" she smiled. "So, uhm, here!" he nervously hands her a gift. "What's this?" she asked, "A bomb…" he turned away as he saw Francis was faced-palmed right behind. "Who's that?" she asked, "NO! It's nothing! I just saw something from behind, yeah! It's the snow fairy!" He chuckled nervously "Oh…" she sighed. He turned back again and was asking for help and mouth him the words: Now what?! then Francis gave him a signal to have a talk to her. "Did you open my gift yet?" he asked, "Nope! You said it's a bomb!" she joked. "And you believe it?!" his eyes widened. "Well… until you don't tell what's inside, I won't open it!" she crossed her arms. "Well, it's a… a…" he eyed Francis form behind. "Something heroic!" Francis whispered.
"What?"
"What?"
"I heard someone speaking," she looked around. "Wha-? No, That's my… conscience. That gift is something heroic." He rubs his neck. "Oh really?!" She asked excitedly. "Yeah, You like something any heroic right?" he asked. "Yeah, thanks." She hugged her gift. "Care to open it?" Arthur asked. "Okay!" she rips hurriedly the package and it's a Superman pillow and a pair of aquamarine star hairclips inside. "This is sooo cuuute!" she cried. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" she shouted. "Well I'm glad that you li-" a pair of lips stopped him and his eyes was fully wide as a platter and he closed his eyes and pulled her closer. Arthur gives Francis thumbs up signal from behind.
"C'est ça mon ami!" Francis shouts at himself. "Hey! I gotta gift for 'ya also!" she exclaimed. "What?" he smiled. "Tadah! I bought a set of some books about black magic!" she showed a small chest in front of him with 5 books inside. "This is bloody awesome Amy!" he exclaimed as he opens them and flipped the pages. "Thank you very much! Merry Christmas!" he said. "You're welcome! Merry Christmas too!" she smiled.
Bella sat near by the bonfire with Antonio and was eating marshmallows and hotdogs on the fire and he watches the mallow to melt and he sticks his mallow to hers. "What are you doing?" she asked. "It's melting." He replied. "Of course it is! Because the fire is hot!" she huffed. "Just like you." he muttered. "Hey!" she pushed him off and she was on top of him and she immediately stood up. "S-sorry." She blushed. "I didn't finished my hot dog and-" she catch him eating his hotdog in front of her. Seducing her. "Cut it out! I don't have time for that!" she turned away. "Haha! Just kidding!" he chuckled and placed something beside her. "What's this?" she asked. "See for yourself," he bit his hotdog as she opened a small package and it reveals a Tulip brooch with pink and green gems surrounding it.
"Waahhh! This is beautiful! Merci!" she smiled. "¡De nada!" he smiled. "Glad you like it!" he adds. "Bien sûr! Tulips are my favorite!" she cried. "Uhm, I also have this for you!" she gives him a package, "Hmn?" he stops eating and gets the package. "¡Hala! ¡Que lindo!" he exclaimed as he saw a cute tomato plushy and he also receive a men's perfume. "Do you like it?" she asked. "Yeah, of course I do!" he smiled at her that caused her cheeks to be in a high temperature. "Your cheeks are red." He touches her face. "Y-yeah, maybe its because of the cold." She said.
"You're hot…"
"S-stop it!'' she blushed. "You look like a cute kitty!" he pinches her face.
"Eh?"
"You're cute." He muttered, "Feliz Navidad mi Bella," he added and kisses her forehead. "Joyeux Noël!" she smiled, lied down against him and he lowered his face and kisses her.
"Hey! Look over there!" Im pointed on the sky and the fireworks formed a Merry Christmas up high. "Wow…" Mei was amazed. "Yeah, wow." Jun agreed. "That is so cool!" Matthias exclaimed.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" they shouted.
