Story:
The night air was chilly along the shore line snow lay thick on the ground and not a soul was about. The sound of singing reached the strangers ears as they slipped through the shadows towards the noise watching the two Viscets leave loaded with present’s the soft glow from the Taverns lanterns lit the outside the stranger lay the basket on the step wrapped up snug in soft red blanket they slipped back in to the cold winter night.
Rogue sneezed again nose red from the cold he had caught “I told you to wrap up but did you listen noooo” Angelus said pulling her scarf round the bottom half of her face as she held on to Law, “it’s not my fault it’s my first snow I got excited with the Snow Ball fight” he said and sneezed again “and I told you to stay with the ship your just going to make your cold worse or infect everyone else in the Tavern” Law growled voice muffled slightly by the collar on his coat “you know he wouldn’t listen so why try” Finn said nearly completely white from the snow which kept falling. Rogue laughed before stopping dead “since when did Dist leave stuff on the door step after it’s delivered “he said going closer “she doesn’t it must have just been left a gift or something from a shy traveller as thanks” Angelus said as the dark furred Viscet lifted the basket Finn pushing the door open.
Dist turned as the chill wind hit her as the door was pushed open Mihawk looking up from where he dozed by the fire “I thought it was going to stay this quite” he sighed looking the group over “aww don’t be like that Mihawk you know you love us really” Angelus said going over, Dist laughed shaking her head before turning to the last three Rogue still holding the basket she tilted her head “what you got” she asked going over he shrugged” something for you we think, it was left on the step” he said as he turned human moving to the fire he placed the basket down on the table. Finn sat down beside Angelus and Mihawk “wonder what it is “he said looking at the group who stood around the table “might be something sweet like cake’s or chocolate” Rogue said petting Seth know who had been hiding from the cold. Dist smiled “it might just be a handmade present or something” she said and slowly unfolded the red blanket a small gasp escaped her lips as she saw the smooth shell of the egg “it’s an egg” she whispered making the others move even closer “what egg is it” Rogue asked tilting his head slightly “dummy it’s a Viscet egg” Finn said reaching out to touch the smooth shell “wonder who’s is it” Angelus said as she moved over for Law to take a look at it “it’s still warm so it’s not been left that long” he said the others watching him work. Dist lifted the red blanket after which held the egg the door opened again Dante and Anne walking in covered in snow from the present run “did you see anyone as you left “Dist asked still holding the egg, they shook their heads “no not one person or tracks” Dante said dusting of his spikey mane of hair he walked over Anne beside him “you going to keep it” he asked she nodded “I have to” she said smiling slightly she already felt something for the little lost egg.

Time went by fast and a year had passed already.
Dist watched the young Viscling mill from place to place as the last of the normal patrons left, the snow had been falling all day leaving a soft white blanket covering everything the fire blazed in the fire place casting a warm glow over everything it touched “how long do you think they are going to be” he said peering out the window his breath misting up the cold glass which he eagerly wiped away. Dist laughed going to sit beside him “they should be here soon” she said and turned as Dante appeared out of no were “I don’t know how you lot can put up with this cold” he said warming himself by the fire before he was struck by the furry ball of energy “havnt I told you I’m not a hugger” he said growling lightly at the small creature who held on to his leg “you don’t mean that Uncle Dante” he whined looking up at him with big eyes. The Viscet turned to look at Dist who shrugged” don’t look at me” she said and turned as she heard laughter the young Viscet releasing his death Grip on the Demon’s leg he hit the window” there here” he laughed shooting for the door “don’t even think it Rogue got a cold last year from not wrapping up” Dist said grabbing the wiggling ball of fuzz, they were struck by a cold blast of winter air as the door was pushed open.
Dist smiled as her and Anne watched the group with the young Viscet “kids turned out OK even with a bunch of Pirate’s helping to raise him” she laughed Dante leaning over the fire trying to warm up “even if Rogue did want to eat him before he hatched” he chuckled “that was your fault” Anne said and glared at the demon who tried to look innocent. She turned to look back at the young Viscling who was animatedly telling the group of his made up adventures, Rogue playing the bad guy he went down to a make believe sword strike Seth popping in joy around the Viscling he laughed climbing all over his downed master. The Heart Captain pretending to sleep on the sofa he was watching them from under the hat his grey eyes shone slightly as he took in the spectacle which played out before him, Finn lay listening to the story beside The Vampire who was laying on Mihawks feet her tail waved as she spoke to the older Swordsman who sat in a chair, the lamp beside him casting shadows of the swordsman hat and feather which soon turned in to a monster in the kids story “seems he has brought out the best in everyone” Dist said till the door opened again and the rest of the Crew came in baring Gifts “anyone missing Birthday and Christmas presents “the Commanders laughed, a joy’s yell from the little Monster brought a smile to even the toughest face.
The Cold Winter Night was soon filled with singing and laughter as the snow still fell outside, candle light flickered in the small Tavern as a figure stood watching from the side lines before vanishing once more in to the shadow’s.
