It was December 25. Christmas Day!

The mercenaries on both teams always held off fighting on Christmas, no matter what day of the week it fell on. And both teams always went all out for the holiday. Everyone needed the warmth, comfort, and happiness that Christmas Day provided for them.

It was about 9:00 at night. Gifts had been opened earlier in the day, but that didn’t mean that anyone was asleep. There were warm yellow lights strung throughout the base, a large Christmas tree was decorated, hot cocoa was being sipped on, and the base smelled of peppermint and gingerbread candles…

It was perfect. And Scout was over the moon that night, simply because it was Christmas.

“Dude… I’m so freakin’ happy it’s finally Christmas. This is the best!” He exclaimed to his best friend, Sniper. As they sat on the sofa together.
