Gust and Breeze are running around in the snow, throwing snowballs back and forth at each other. They were laughing and smiling as they pelted each other. Gust took a dive as Breeze threw a fast one at his skull.

"Hey now, don't break my eye more!" Gust stuck out his tongue and gave a small laugh. Breeze looked back at him.

"Maybe you should watch out more, big brother!" He throws another one and catches Gust right in his left leg. He goes rolling and lays down, lifeless. Breeze rushes over to him smiling the whole time. He shakes Gust trying to get him to roll over, but he doesn't.

"Roll over Gust, I want to keep playing." He shakes him again, but nothing happens. Breeze starts to get worried and a tear drops down onto his hoodie. Gust rolls back over and looks up at him and hugs him.

"Haha, hey little bro calms down, I'm fine I promise. No need to cry." Gust pulls him into a bigger hug and rubs his skull. Breeze looks down and smiles, relived his brother is okay. They both get up and put their arms around each other as they walk towards the house. As they walk in Breeze looks over with a huge smile, Gust knows what's about to happen.

"I'M GONNA MAKE BURGERS!!" Breeze dashes off towards the kitchen while Gust just smiles and shakes his head slowly. His brother is always making burgers, but he'll never let him know they aren't that amazing. He'll eat all of it and tell him they were great. Gust walks over to the couch and sits down on it waiting for his brother. He never would understand how a skeleton could get hungry, but boy was he hungry.

Breeze walks back into the living room with a plate stacked high with delicious looking burgers. He sets them down and tells Gust he used a new recipe this time, being optimistic he takes a big bite out of one. They're amazing! Gust eats all of them but three and lays back.

"Wow Breeze! Those were delicious, I loved them!" Breeze gives a big smile and a thumb up. He reaches forward and takes a bite out of one of them and sits next to his brother. They both lounge back and think of funny memories they've had together. This one-time Gust was training outside with some snowballs and his sword. He was batting them at a tree and out of nowhere Breeze jumps down from the tree and gets a face full of snow.

Breeze does a backflip in the air and plops, skull first, right into the snow. Gust rushed over all worried and made sure little Breeze was okay. All Breeze could do was laugh and smile as the fact he got hit. That made Gust feel better, so he took him over to the house and showed him how to hit the snowballs.

They laughed at the little story that happened so long ago. They loved to talk about these little things that happened in the past, it was always a good time and made them smile. Without each other they had no idea how life would be. For a fact they knew it would be more boring but also who would they have to spend all their fun with. At times Gust can be a little bossy and controlling but Breeze knows it's all out of love.

Gust couldn't ask for a better little brother. Sure, he was annoying at times and does get into trouble a lot but what can you do. Breeze loves everyone and everything. Gust has never seen him hurt anyone before and that's probably why he gets into so much trouble, but what can you do? When you have such a sweet guy as your brother you have to love him. At this point though they had finished talking and Gust knew he needed to train some more.

He got up and walks to the door, "I'll be back later alright Breeze. I'm going out training so don't get into any trouble." He gave Breeze a serious look, his not functioning eye scaring his brother the most. Breeze nodded, and Gust gave a smile. He walks out of the house and into the woods behind their house. Breeze takes this opportunity to go for a little walk. He hasn't explored around in a while and he wanted to see what was still here that he knew.

He walked into the woods the way Gust went but at a slight angle to the right, so they never met. Breeze looked around at all the trees and snow on the ground, it was always so pretty out in the forest and that's why he loved to be in it. There were little animals moving around and some smaller monsters that didn't mess with Breeze, he was a tall guy and the armor made him intimidating. In the middle of the woods, in a clearing, was a lonely little flower. It had dark blue pedals like the sky on a stormy day. His face was afraid and sad, Breeze felt bad for the little guy.

He walks over to the little flower and asks him what's wrong. "Huh? Who are you?" The little flower asks Breeze, startled by him showing up like that. "Haha, my name is Breeze. What's your name little guy and why are you out here?" The flower turns around slowly and timidly, being cautious of the tall skeleton above him. "My name is Astride, and I got lost out here. I didn't know which way lead back to town."

Breeze gives a friendly smile, he points back the way he came from to the town. "I can walk with you back if you wish, I don't mind." The flower looks the way he points and can faintly hear the town. The flowers sad and scared face turns into a wicked and twisted smile. His voice turns into a high pitched, freighting, screech. "Hahaha! Thanks for the help you oblivious fool. Now I can kill you and everyone over there!" The flower summons multiple bullet like seeds, they all point towards Breeze. Breeze lets out a loud yell of fear.

(Gust training)

In the middle of his training Gust hears someone screaming. They sound a lot like his brother. Gust gets worried and takes off towards the way of the scream. As he gets closer he can see an opening, a flower and a tall skeleton are standing there. The flower has a wicked smile on his face, his voice is terrifying and the seeds he has pointed at the skeleton don't look nice. When Gust gets closer he sees that the skeleton is his brother, and he is in a lot of danger.

Astride gives out a loud cackle and starts to send the seeds flying at Breeze, Gust yells out for him to stop. "No! Don't hurt him!!" The flower looks over and laughs louder as the bullet-like-seeds slam into Breeze, sending him flying back and into a tree. He falls over onto the ground, limp and not moving. Gust rushes over to his brother. Breeze isn't breathing or moving at all. Above the top of his left eye is a bad crack, and from it bloods trickles out. Gust looks over at the flower, his working eyes glows a deep shade of blue and orange. "How could you!? He was innocent and didn't hurt anybody!" Gust yells at the flower.

Astride looks at Gust and laughs again, "Innocence and friendliness is what gets people killed, just like that fool over there!" Gust starts to cry, and rage feels his body. Every bone in his body starts to tremble as he lets out a cry of anger. He throws his arms out to the sides of him, all around the flower gasterblasters appear, circling him. The flowers smile fades and true fear starts to take over. Gust looks down at the ground as his bone short sword appears in his right hand, in the other a smaller dagger.

"So, according to you. We shouldn't be friendly and nice? Well, if that's what you think...THEN HERE YOU GO!" Gust closes his hands around his weapons and the blasters fire at the flower, his pedals start to disintegrate, and he starts to scream out in pain. "No! Noo! This can't be happening!" The blasters disappear, and the flower is left there, wilting away and dying slowly. Gust turns around to his brother, his lifeless body lying there. He walks over to him and falls to his knees. Gust reaches forwards and pulls his brother into his arms, a tear falling onto his skull. The happy face is gone, and now a horrible crack is there.

     Gust cries over his body. "I t-thought I told you, not to g-get into trouble Breeze. So why! Why did you!?" Gust leans down and sops on Breezes shoulder. He will never see that happy smile again, or hear him running around and making jokes. Getting in the way all the time. He lays there just holding him and crying.
