"Dag blast it!" Vernie let out as he unintentionally grabbed a piece of hot metal. He waved his hand in the air before dunking it in his barrel of water to cool it down. His hand was prickling with pain when he pulled it from the water, the hot metal he grabbed burned the palm of his knuckles, "Way to go Vern." he sighed heavily, he couldn't remember the last time he had burned himself, but he knew why he did this time. He was always so focused on what he was doing whenever he worked, but tonight his thoughts kept drifting to her. How he missed her.

"I'm so sorry for having to ask you to do this." Nicole flushed with blush when he pulled up, having to cover her face with her hands in her embarrassment. She was standing on the side of the road, snow was falling down all around her and her car was in the ditch behind her. With the slickness of the road, she had lost her tires and drove right into the ditch. This back, country road was rarely used and that's why Nicole often drove on it, but this Christmas night, her distracted thoughts took away her carefulness and drove her off the road she knew so well. She tried to call tow companies, but no one was working this Christmas night. So she resorted to the only person she had left. Celous only laughed at her blush as he got out of his truck, his eyes scanning over her ditched car, "No need to fret, Nicole, just as long as you are alright?" He asked turning his eyes to her. Nicole nodded, still unable to look at him as she tried to cover her face, the light from his headlights make her embarrassment plainly visible, "I'm fine, just a little rattled." "Well being out in this cold isn't going to help you." Celous replied, he grabbed another coat from his truck to give to her, "Tell you what, why don't I take you to my place tonight and tomorrow we can come back here and pull your car out with my truck. What were doing out here this late anyway?" "I don't want to cause you anymore trouble, Celous." Nicole replied as she gratefully took the coat, "I was working late tonight and wasn't really focused on driving on my way home." she admitted with another blush, "If you could just take me home, I'd appreciate it." "It's Christmas Eve, Nicole." Celous replied, he looked at her in confusion as he opened the passenger door of his truck for her, "Why were working? Don't you have family?" Nicole adjusted her grip on the coat, uncomfortable with his question, "No." She admitted, turning her eyes back to her car, "No I don't." Celous seemed taken aback by her answer, "Well." he said suddenly, "You're not spending Christmas Eve alone, why don't you come over to my place and have Christmas with the twins and I." Nicole shook her head as she climbed in the truck, "I don't think your sons would appreciate their dean showing up at their house for Christmas." "And I'm sure they don't appreciate their father being their coach, but they got over that." Celous smiled, he closed the door, the open window allowing him to still talk to her, "I think it'll be fun for all of us, besides, if they don't like it, there's a college kid Christmas party happening they can go to." He leaned closer to her, "Come on, Nicole, you don't really want to be alone on Christmas do you?" Nicole looked away from him, unable to stand the sweet eyes he was giving her and it didn't help that snowflakes were flattering him even more, "Fine." she heard herself sigh. "Great!" Celous pulled off the truck door, "We got hot cocoa back home too, it'll help warm you up!" She watched him as he walked around the front of the truck to get to the driver's side. There was a knot in her stomach as she worried what might happen over at the Skye residence. How Cedar and Ashton would greet her, she just prayed the the whole situation wasn't awkward. It'll be alright. she told herself, bundling further into Celous' coat, it even smelled like him, It's better than being alone.

(*cracks dusty eyes open* It's been 84 years...)
Yvon woke up in a hospital again, body hurting and mind fuzzy as he tried to remember what had happened. It came back strongly, his father had come back, had hurt his younger brother and almost killed him. He closed his eyes again and gave a shuddering sigh, hand reaching up to hold his sore jaw.
Hannah sat silently in the hospital waiting room.

Nicole ended up laughing on the way back to Celous' house, the old fighter singing along with the Christmas songs on the radio while trying his best to get her to sing along. It wasn't until "Baby it's Cold Outside" came on did Nicole finally give in. "You have a wonderful voice!" Celous smiled as he opened her door for her to get out. They had stopped at the home of the Skyes. It was a cute little ranch on wide acres of land, Nicole swore she smelled manure from animals. The ranch defiantly showed that only men lived there, but was happily lit with color Christmas lights. There wasn't any flowering plants or calming decor, but instead there was cow skull hanging on the garage door, a couple bottles of beer were thrown in a water catching barrel, and a roll of barbed wire was tossed in the grass. Celous' truck wasn't the only one in the driveway. There were two smaller trucks parked one behind the other. One was in better shape than the other and Nicole could only guess they belonged to the twins. Another thing she noticed was that all three trucks were Chevys and that Celous' stood much taller than the twins'. "Well that's the only time you're going to hear it." Nicole replied as she stepped out of the truck, "I'm never singing like that again." "Well then I'm honored that I was the only one to hear it." Celous smiled, he shut the door and began leading her to the front door, "Before we go in, I want to apologize before hand." "For what?" Nicole asked curiously. "For the twins." Celous replied sheepishly, "I told them once when they were younger that their mother's favorite holiday was Christmas and from that day forward they both decided that Christmas was their favorite holiday too." "That doesn't sound bad." "It isn't til you see it." They had reached the front door, but before either could say anything a shattering sound came from inside, "Oh for Pete's sake." Celous sighed, he grabbed the doorknob and quickly opened the door, "I thought I told you two to stop wrestling in the house!" he snapped sharply, opening the door. Cedar and Ashton fell away from each other when Celous came in through the door, "He started it!" Ashton stated quickly. "I didn't do anything wrong!" Cedar replied quickly, "Ashton was peeking!" "Both of you off the floor, we have a guest." Celous scolded, "And I don't care what was going on, you're both too big to be wrestling in here!" Nicole stayed quiet as she followed Celous into the house. There was Christmas decoration everywhere. Garland was hung along the ceiling, a magnificent tree was beautifully set in the corner with a mound of presents placed underneath it, there was a fireplace lit across from the window where the couch sat and if she tilted her head, Nicole could spot a set dining table around the corner, "I didn't think a family of fighters could decorate this beautifully." She admitted as her eyes gazed around the house. "It was all those two." Celous gave her a smirk as he motioned toward his sons. "Well isn't your place decorated, Ms. North?" Cedar asked, he pulled himself to his feet before helping his brother up. Nicole shook her head, "I don't decorate for Christmas, but I do enjoy the holiday." "Sounds like a Scrooge to me." Ashton snorted. "Ashton be nice." Celous warned roughly, "Ms. North is going to be staying the night, her car currently resides at the bottom of a ditch." "And you'll pull it out tomorrow." Cedar seemed to frown, "Dad, tomorrow's Christmas day. We don't have classes Monday since its winter break, why don't you just go get her car then and she can spend all of Christmas with us? Stella's even coming over." "I don't want to intrude on your family holiday." Nicole stated quickly shaking her head to the young student. "You wouldn't be intruding." Cedar replied calmly, "Don't they say that everyone at Moonrise U is family? So you're already apart of the family." "How about it Nicole?" Celous asked as he looked at her, "Spend Christmas with us." Nicole opened her mouth to protest, but she sighed, it would really be nice not to spend a holiday alone, "If it's no trouble." "it isn't." Celous smiled, "It's a Merry Christmas."

"Don't tell me you dragged me out here to look at birds!" Sota snapped at his brother, standing in the cold snow with only a hoodie on, "Tarak!" Tarak let out a sigh as he stared up through his binoculars at the trees, "I'm tell you, Sota, there's an owl out here and I'm gonna get a picture of it!" "You dragged me out here to look at a dumb bird." Sota shook his head, tightening his arms under his pits to warm himself up, "I could be at the Christmas Party or figuring out where Grace is. You could be spending Christmas with Logan! Don't you have a date under the mistletoe?" "You don't stand a chance with Grace." Tarak replied as he continued to stare up through the trees, "Besides she's apart of the East Wind, why would want to date her?" "Would you just hurry up and find that owl?"

Logan was finishing up wrapping Tarek's present. She hoped he liked it. Speaking of him where was he? She needed to find him, wanting to spend Christmas Eve with her boyfriend.
Grace was at the little Christmas party, sighing. She was bored.0

(Ok!)
"Get in the car, Tarak! We're already late!" Sota snapped he suddenly walked up to his brother and grabbed the hood of his hoodie to pull him back, "You can search for your stupid owl some other time!" "But it might not be here again!" "I don't care!" Sota snapped again, "I'm leaving!" Tarak let out an annoyed sigh as he walked back to the car, giving up on his owl. Sota was already sitting in the driver's seat when he got in, "I bet it was Snowy owl." "Then you wouldn't have been able to find it in his snow anyway." Sota snorted, "I'm going to that Christmas party and you're going to see Logan." "Oh snap! I think I left her present back home!" Tarak exclaimed in a moment panic, he turned to the back seat of the car, "We have to go back for it if I did." "We're not going back for it." Sota replied bluntly with a shake of his head. "Oh wait, its here." Tarak breathed in fresh relief and plopped back in the seat, "We're good." "I would've been good either way." Sota replied. "Are you really going to ask Grace out?" Tarak asked suddenly as he looked at his brother, "I'm telling you, you don't have a chance." "It's Christmas Eve, would turn down a guy on Christmas Eve?" Sota replied with a glance at his brother. "Oh so you're hoping for a little Christmas magic to help you out." Tarak chuckled, "you're going to need a Christmas Miracle if you're going to get a East Wind to go out with you." Sota glared at his brother, "It could happen!" he snapped. "Uh huh." Tarak replied.

"Oh! One Christmas I was able to scrap enough money together to get the twins bikes." Celous smiled to Nicole. The four of them were sitting down telling tales of Christmas pasts, Ashton and Cedar took the floor while Nicole and Celous shared the couch. Each of them held their own cup of cocoa and Nicole found herself having the time of her life, "Of course, they can't have the same bike, because heaven forbid anyone know they were actually twins back then." He smiled and shook his head, "So I was able to get two different bikes, one blue, one red." Celous started chuckling to himself, "Of course it wasn't even New Year's yet when Ashton crashes his bike about a mile down the road. I was at work and didn't know it had occurred until I got home." "Ashton about broke his arm from that crash." Cedar chuckled along as he looked at Nicole, "We tried to fix his bike before dad got back, but the frame was bent and everything!" "What were you doing riding your bike in the middle of winter?" Nicole asked wildly, looking at the younger twin. Ashton rubbed the back of his neck, "I had made a gift for the neighbor girl and I wanted to deliver it to her." Nicole burst out laughing, "You had a crush on your neighbor?" Ashton looked away from them, shaking his head, "maybe a little one." "A little one?" Celous repeated with a laugh, "Ashton, whenever you saw that girl outside, you went running to her!" "Too bad she moved away." Cedar snickered, "If you didn't then maybe you would actually have a girlfriend." "Ok, you know what? I don't need to take this from you!" Ashton snapped at his brother and started to pull himself to his feet, "I'm going to bed." "Ashton it was only a bit of fun." Celous said calmly, "Sit down." "If you hadn't noticed, it's almost midnight, dad." Ashton replied, "Isn't Santa supposed to be dropping by soon? I think I'll go bed so I don't get put on the naughty list." his mouth cracked a smile as he amused himself. "You're already on the naughty list!" Cedar called after his brother. "You're both already on the naughty list." Celous corrected, he took a deep breath and stood up, "I suppose Ashton has a point, Nicole why don't you take my bed and I'll take the couch tonight." "Celous, that's too kind, but I can take the couch, I'm the one who drove her car into a ditch." Nicole replied quickly, Celous took her empty mug from her hand, "Just give me a pillow and a blanket and i"ll be fine." "Here, dad, I'll take those." Cedar offered as he took the empty mugs from his father, "There's extra pillows and blankets in the hall closet. There's a bunch in there, so you'll have pick out which one's you want." he nodded toward the hallway. "This way." Celous held his hand out to help Nicole up from the couch before leading her down the hall to the closet at the end, neither of them noticed Cedar and Ashton were watching them. "Cedar's right, you do have a lot of blankets." Nicole chuckled as a few blankets fell on the floor as Celous opened the closet door. "Their aunt like to make blankets for them every Christmas." Celous replied as he quickly tried to pick up the fallen material, "just take your pick." "Typical, typical." The two of them turned around to see the twins leaning on either wall a little further down the hall, they each had their arms cross and Ashton was shaking his head. "What are you two up to?" Celous frowned suspiciously. Cedar gave a sheepish shrug, "We just couldn't help but notice how you led Ms. North right under the mistletoe, dad." he stated nodded up toward the ceiling. A blush covered Nicole's face as she stared up at the red ribboned mistletoe right over her head. She glanced at Celous to see that the old fighter's mouth had dropped open with stomach knotting surprise. In his mind Celous was silently scolding his two sons for this stunt, I told them to never put mistletoe up in this house. he thought, they must have done it not long after Nicole walked in the door. "You have to kiss her." Ashton stated with a shrug of his shoulders, "Can't break Christmas tradition!" Nicole couldn't meet his eyes as she raised her hand to block the blush from her face. She honestly didn't know what to do. Celous was a co-worker and it would unprofessional to kiss him and in kissing him wasn't she betraying her late fiance? Her mind kept reasoning that it wasn't wise to be kissing this old fighter, a man with a kind smile, strong shoulders, and caring eyes. She finally flicked her eyes up to meet his, her head kept giving her reasons to walk away: this was a foolish girl's fantasy, this would only end in heartbreak, this would betray Ronnie, but she found that heart wouldn't let her go. Celous' rough and beaten hand gently brushed the bottom of her chin as he lifted her head a little bit higher and Nicole didn't stop him as his lips met hers that Christmas Eve night.

"Get out of my car." Sota snapped at his brother as he pulled up to Logan's house. "Merry Christmas to you too, brother." tarak chuckled, he paused and looked back at Sota, "But in all seriousness, good luck with Grace." Sota didn't say anything as he watched his brother leave the car and run up to Logan's door, he waited to pull away as Tarak had to remember to come back and get the present he left in the back seat. Once Tarak came back for it, he finally drove off to head to the Christmas party.

(Oh Tarak xD)
Logan had finished wrapping his presents. She was now sitting on her couch, watching a Christmas movie with some hot choclate. She sighed and looked at the time. Where was he?
Grace was getting ready to leave, the person she wanted to see most wasn't there and she didn't want to stay any longer.

Tarak quickly knocked upon her door.
Sota pulled up to the party, having to park a long way off, but he was bundled in his hoodie as he walked up to the front door through the snow.

Logan stood and moved to answer the door. Finally he was here, hopefully at least. She opened the door to see Tarak, a grin appearing on her face. "There you are."
Grace moved to leave, pulling on her hoodie and walking to the door. She opened it and almost walked straight into Sota. "Oh uh." She blushed. "Sorry."

"I can't believe that worked!" Cedar laughed as he and brother jumped down into the basement of their father's house. Cedar clapped his hands together and seemed to cheer as he turned around to face his brother, a bright smile on his face, "Haha! I told you they were meant for each other!" "Sure, but just you wait this'll come back and bite us in the hide!" Ashton warned as he pointed at his brother, "Come tomorrow morning we'll be hearing it from dad! Or worse! we'll be dealing with the both of them for life!" Cedar rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on, Ashton, dad deserves to be happy!" he exclaimed quickly, "He's had to raise us both by himself all this time, now that we're grown I think he deserves a chance to find love again! And you and I both know that he's only had eyes for Ms. North for the past few years!" Ashton snorted, "I'm just not sure it's a good idea that our dean because our father's girlfriend." "I think it is." Cedar chuckled as he plopped down on the couch, "Just think about Ashton, there are two extremes Ms. North could result to. The first being that she becomes the evil stepmother type--which I highly doubt--or the second where she becomes the pushover type to try and win our approval." Ashton shook his head, "There's no way she'd resort to either extreme, brother." he stated calmly, "Ms. North is too tough for that." "Yeah maybe." Cedar replied, lost in thought, "But didn't you see the way dad's been looking at her all night?" he asked, looking back at Ashton, "He's never looked so happy. He had everything he ever wanted tonight, you, me, and the girl of his dreams and I think Ms. North looked in a similar fashion, tonight she looked more open and free." "Hmm." Ashton snorted, "Well let's just hope dad don't get too mad that we hung up the mistletoe without him knowing. Nicely done, by the way, leading them toward it." "You were the one who picked the spot, Ashton, it was perfect." Cedar smirked back at him, "I just hope that now they stop beating around the bush and actually date." "Well, we'll find out eventually." Ashton sighed. After the kiss Celous and Nicole had awkwardly finished getting what they needed for Nicole to sleep on the couch and the two called it a night. Cedar and Ashton then headed down to their rooms in the basement, "good night Cedar." "Good night Ashton."

Tarak had a big goofy grin on his face, "Sorry I'm late." he said, holding his present to her in his hands.
Sota stepped back as she about ran into him, "Ah, it's alright, are you leaving so soon?" He asked, he had to look around her hair to realize that it was Grace.

Logan leaned forward to kiss his cheek before she reached out to take his present. "Thank you. I thought you'd never show up." She said, stepping aside to let him inside.
Grace shrugged a little. "The party wasn't that much fun and the guy I wanted to see wasn't there." She spoke, watching him. She bit her lip nervously, rather close to him.
