"Hey Rythian! You remember Ryken dont you?" The mage jumped slightly and turned around seeing the smaller enderborn, "how could I forget my sister?" He laughed pulling in for a hug. The black haired girl pulled away from the hug, "I invited her and a few friends over for a christmas party!" Endress smiled.
"Really? Guess I should go tell everyone then?" He asked her. She shook her head, "naw, just get dressed nice. I've told Duncan and everyone." She then smiled and walked away to get dressed, leaving Rythian to head off toward the kitfhen to start cooking.

It was five thrity when the doorbell rang, signaling the first few guests had arrvived. Lalna smiled softly and walked over to answer, he opened the door to see a girl that looked like Rythian with a boy with glasses and black hair.
"Sup! Duncan been awhile!" The look alike said, Lalna blushed with embaressment, "m-my names Lalna...I'm his son." The girl blinked, eyed him and fumed slightly and entered the house with the boy laughing nervously following. He shook Lalna's hand briefly, "Hello. I'm Nilesy." He said. Lalna smiled, "Lalna Jones."
Alex walked downstairs with their little girls in nice dresses, Alelna and Alice each held one of Alex's hands. Lalna turned and smiled, "the boy is named Nilesy and the girl..." the girl look alike turned toward him and gave his hand a shake. "Ryken. Ryken Enderborn. I'm Rythian and Endress's sister." Lalna's eyes opened in surprise but he shook it off. Suddenly the doorbell rang again.
Duncan walked over and answered it, to see his friends Honeydew and Xephos with two girls. One had hair that glowed a light blue, and the other had odd cat features and her eyes glowed a soft blue.
"Xephos! Dew! I haven't seen you all in forever! Who are the nice girls with you?" The spaceman smiled and replied, only to be interrupted by the noise dwarf who was obviously uncomfortable with being in a tux.
"These ladies are Aqua and Katty! Our lovely girlfriends!" Xephos sighed in frustraition but nodded entering the house with the other three following. Names where exchanged, and a few surprised glances.
With most guests here they where still waiting for the last few to arrive. But right before that happened an argument broke out between Rythian and Ryken. Which wasn't unsual. But it was the reason they where fighting that was.
You see, Endress was the youngest out of them. So they were fighting if she should stay here or go back home with Ryken. She was caught in the middle of it. Because both had raised her growing up. Duncan walked over and escorted her away, she simply sighed and walked out the door of the house without a second glance.
Duncan growled and looked a them both. "How could you two fight at a time like this?!" He yelled, the two stopped and looked down in embaressment. Lana smacked Rythian on head shaking her head in disapointment.
"Jesus..." the scientist sighed and looked out to the window were it had started to snow heavilly. He looked at Lana, "I hope your brothers get here soon..." she nodded in agreement.
~~~
It had been twenty minutes since Endress had gone out in the snowstorm. Nano and the four sapling brother arrived, with the youngest, Spruce crying while being comforted by Dusk, Frost and Martyn looking guitly. Lana ran over, sighing slightly and shaking her head. Dusk explained that they had spotted Endress sitting by a lake. By then Duncan was already out of the door.
~~~
Endress glanced a the lake, it was snowing hard, but she could still see the stars. She smiled softly and closed her eyes laying her back down on the back onto the snow, suddenly hearing Duncan yelling for her. She sat up and sighed.
"Duncan! I'm here!" She yelled. She heard the crunching of snow then she saw him, he walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"One of those nights huh?" He said softly looking up at the sky with her. She nodded, "remindes me of when we first met." He laughed softly, "you mean the night where Rythian had his chance to kill me?" She laughed and nodded. "Yeah that one."
"Im happy to see all my friends around. Family, friends, everyone. But I hate it when those two fight...I hate it." He hugs her, resting his chin in her head. "I'm sorry....but it is what family does. And I'm sure Ryken will agree to let you stay here. Let's just go back to the party please..." she nodded and the two stood up starting to walk home.
~~~
Ah dinner. Everyone sat next to those around the table. Alelna and Aice sat next to their parents, Star next to Matthew, Aqua next to Dew, Katty next to Xephos, Endress next to Duncan, etc etc.
A glass was raised in the air by the young enderborn. Everyone turned their heads toward her way. She smiled.
"I'm really glad everyone could make it. You magnificant bastards." That got a laugh from everyone, "listen...I wanna be serious and say no matter how much time we spend away from each other...we'll always be family. We'll always be friends. Good and bad times..were there for each other. And I'm so very lucky to have friends like these....merry christmas everyone." Everyone raised their glass into the air.
"Merry christmas Endress."
