So what it's almost Christmas? So what I haven't uploaded in a week? sO wHAT? <]:P

     Cub hadn't been able to get on to much, and just barely able to make it on for Halloween the previous night, but now that all the chaos was over, he was finally able to get back to his ConCorp business. And what did he see when he logged back on in the center of ConCorp? Well, Cub saw a giant Christmas tree, as well as the whole area coated in a smooth covering of snow. Tinsel hung from every window and colorful lights were on the corner of every house. This is not how he left ConCorp looking, and this was the exact reason he didn't leave Scar alone for long. Especially around Christmas time. Even though it's not even Christmas time yet! Thanksgiving is still a thing! I mean you can't just forget about Thanksgiving! Like if it was Grian or Mumbo or someone, maybe it would be ok as they don't have Thanksgiving or even Halloween, but Scar celebrated all of those holidays. Yeah yeah, you could argue that Thanksgiving doesn't have to decorticate like those other two holidays, but just do some nice autumn colors and- oop.

     Cub herd the sound of snow crunching under feet, he turned around to see Scar with a ridiculous grin on his face. His arms were spread out showing off his hard work, "what do you think?" Scar asked excitedly, running over to Cub.

     A few different responses rushed through his head. He was this close to saying something he would regret, but instead, he kept his mouth shut and gave Scar a 'is it though' look.

     Scar gasped dramatically, "fainting" into Cubs arms. "y-you're one of those Grinch people, aren't you!"

     Cub laughed heartily. "Grinch people? What is that?" He asked Scar, standing him back up from falling into his arms.

     Scar raised his eyebrows and responded, "you know, people who think Christmas starts the day after Thanksgiving, or worse, December 1st! I mean how do you get all of your decorations up and gifts along with your normal daily tasks done in 25 days!" The cowboy explained.

     "it's called time management Scar," "that's how you get it done. Speaking of time management, how much time did you spend doing all this? If you did this all by yourself in a night then you must have not slept Scar." Cub frowned.

     "Sleep is for the weak Cub. Especially during Christmas." Scar said, "look, it was soooo worth it! It looks amazin'" He exclaimed in his classic 'Scar' voice.

     "Well, you still should have waited," Cub said, crossing his arms. He felt Scar's glare change from a happy glance into a slightly bitter scowl.

     Scar pursed lit lips a little, "well maybe you shouldn't have left me in charge if you don't like what I do while I'm in the position"

     Cub looked over at his friend, oblivious to the fact that this was clearly about something more than just decorating for Christmas, "Dude, just chill. It's only Christmas decorations. We can just take them down-"

     Scar had cut him off, "No. We keep them up Cub"  his friend hissed his name like it was acid, "I spent all night putting these up just for you to want to tear them down!"

     Cub was still oblivious, "Well if you want to keep all of this stuff up on your own then, go ahead."

     Cub didn't realize the implications of what he was saying, and Scar had had enough at that moment, "fine! I'll keep it up myself."

     Cub watched at Scar stomped across the snow he had carefully placed earlier that morning. Why was he so aggravated about Christmas decorations? Eh, he'll get over it soon. 'I just won't come around for a few days'

     It had been a few days since Scar's little fiasco about Christmas decorations. Cub hadn't been back around ConCorp. since then and was doing his own projects and sneaking around the server, trying to not get demised and all that jazz. Cub carefully walked into the Nether Hub were he was greeted by Ren, which made him jump quite a bit as Ren was completely monochrome.

     When Ren saw Cub, he crossed his arms and skipped over to him, calling out over the short distance between them, "hey Cub!" He greeted.

     Cub waved, "Hey Ren. Haha, long time no see I guess, but maybe that's for my safety" Cub said, referring to the hybrid's monochrome color palette.

     Ren smirked evilly, "now now now Cubfan, don't think your safe just because you haven't seen me around. I'm always creeping"

     Cub laughed, "whatever dude." He said, shaking his head.

     "Anyways, have you seen Scar around? I've been meaning to say hi to him since I haven't seen him in a few days" Ren explained.

     Cub shrugged, "if you've checked his base, I'd check ConCorp. I don't know though, I haven't seen him in a few days either, he got mad about me not wanting to put Christmas stuff up because it's not Thanksgiving yet and he said something about keeping it all up and so I said we could, but I wouldn't help him with it" Cub explained.

     Ren stopped in his tracks, "you did what?" Ren did a full 180 to look straight at Cub, "a. Why is this such a big deal if about what time you out decorations up and b. What exactly did you say?"

     Cub threw his hands up, "it's very important! Thanksgiving deserves love too! And I told Scar that he should have waited until I got back, then he got really defensive and said that I shouldn't have left him in charge, but I told him to chill because it's just Christmas stuff. I mean come on! So I told him he could keep it all up by himself and then he stormed off" Cub explained to Ren.

     Ren took a deep, disapproving breath. "Dude. Dude dude dude. You- what? How oblivious can you be! Dude! This is clearly about more than 'just Christmas stuff' of whatever you said. You basically said you were leaving your company for him to run! He's probably been straining himself like crazy for the last five days or whatever because of how oblivious you are!"

     Cub's eyes grew wide as it all set in. "Oh my god, your right." He whispered, "I have to go find Scar before he works himself to death-" Cub said, saying a small thank you to Ren before running off.

     When Cub ran into ConCorp, he looked around and saw that all the decorations had fallen and all the snow been trampled it looked like a Christmas war had been fought. But Cub weaves through all of the decorations on the ground into the main headquarters on the base.

     Cub burst through the large doors and into the foyer. He rushed through the place until he found Scar, half asleep with black circles under his eyes and a torch about to catch a piece of paper on fire. 

     By the looks of it, Scar hadn't slept for at least the past few days and was living off of bread. Cub blew out the torch and rushed over to Scar who had been deliriously watching him since he entered the room.

     "C-cub?" Scar croaked, Loy living his head off the desk he was sitting at.

     Guilt completely filled his body as he looked at his half-dead friend, "yeah, it's my bud" Cub mumbled going over to crouch next to him. Cub placed his hand on Scar's forehead and quickly moved it away, "jeered dude, your head is burning." Cub commented, "here let me go-"

     Scar reached for his hand, "please don't go again" he mumbled, squeezing his hand tightly.

     Cub couldn't move away, he just squeezed Scar's hand back, "I'm not going anywhere," Cub comforted him. "I'm so sorry Scar. I'm so so so sorry" Cub shuttered. He would wait here until Scar fell asleep then go get his something for his fever.

     "It's okay Cubbie. I loved you" a small smile crept over Scar's on his face as he said that. Cub assumed that came from Scar's delirious state, because Scar has no reason to forgive him, much less love him. even though but deep down he hoped Scar meant that.

     Cub was determined to make this all up to Scar when he got back up, but until then, Cub was lifting up a sleeping Scar and bringing him back to his bed where Cub laid with him.

Reee I'm sorry if that ending felt rushed! I meant to make a better ending but that didn't work out. Actually, this whole story was going to be completely different with it being more of a friendly competition about whether to decorate before or after Thanksgiving. But oh well, now we have this I guess haha.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it, and tell me when you start decorating if you decorate at all. I'm actually curious about this! Anyways, I hope you all have a nice day/night, and until next time
