      It was finally Christmas, 24th of December. We were taking a small break from the Civil War so we could celebrate Christmas together with all of the Hermits. It was going to be my first Christmas with the Hermits. It was also going to be my first Christmas with my siblings, The Mains. It had been almost a year since I joined The Council as a Main Watcher. Also it had been almost a year since I had graduated from the Watcher Academy and almost six years since the Evo accident. Time sure flies fast.

I looked in the mirror. I was wearing a red Christmas sweater, which I really liked. I looked at my communicator to see the clock. I still had half an hour before I had to leave. Also I knew that Sherenidy and Xenex would be there. It was going to be really interesting because Xisuma had never told the Hermits about his brother. From what I had heard, the had done some kind of prank where Xenex had pretended to be Xisuma's "evil twin" called Evil Xisuma. And apparently the Hermits hated this "Evil Xisuma" character. Luckily they didn't know that Xenex and Evil Xisuma were the same. Shen had also mentioned something about just pretending to be guests and nothing special to Xisuma.

I turned around as I heard the sound of rockets and saw someone land in front of me. I recognized the person immediately, he was a good friend of mine, the Mumbo Jumbo himself.

"Hey Mumbo!" I greeted him with a smile.

"Hey G!" He greeted me back. "Are you excited for your first Christmas party in Hermitcraft?"

"Yeah, it's been years since I last spent Christmas with a bigger group," I told.

Mumbo looked surprised. I remember the six last Christmases I had spent in the Watcher Academy. There I had only had a small party together with my roommate, who happened to be Xenex.

"That's interesting," The mustache man said.

"I guess," I shrugged.

"Should we get going now? You probably don't want to be late," The mustache man smiled.

"Sure!" I smiled back.

We both spread our elytras and flied to the Christmas district where the party was held. We landed next to Iskall and Stress who were talking with Ren and Doc. They all greeted us.

"Hey G, it's your first Christmas in Hermitcraft! How is it going?" Ren smiled.

"Got to say that I had forgotten how it feels to celebrate Christmas with a whole group. I have gotten too used to spending it alone with Xen, I guess," I spoke.

"With who?" Iskall was interested.

"A great friend of mine," I told not wanting to reveal too much.

"So you have friends, eh?" Doc joked and I laughed with the others.

"I have a lot of friends!" I laughed.

"You should introduce them to us someday," Stress smiled.

"Yeeeaah, maybe someday. Let's just say that they might be a little weird sometimes," I grinned.

"How weird?" Mumbo asked tilting his head.

{Flashback}

"What the fuck is 6x9?" Upton shouted.

"Don't ask me, use the fucking calculator!" Kasen responded.

"I don't know what's 6x9 but I know that 69x69÷69 is 69," Sherenidy said not raising her eyes from the book she was reading.

"What the fuck ᓭ⍑ᒷリ?" Mao jumped into the conversation.

"Why do you even need to know what's 6x9?" Xelqua asked from Upton.

"I already forgot," Upton shrugged.

"6x9 is 54," Chet just casually answered.

"You make it seem so easy!" Kasen complained.

"It's not even that hard," Chet responded.

"Well, all of us aren't as smart as you are!" Upton answered.

"Are you saying that we are all stupid?" Mao questioned his studen.

"He's just saying that all of us have negative IQ," Sherenidy just casually answered.

"Ouch, that's true," Kasen banged his head on the table.

"ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣ is the only one of us whose IQ is not -100," Xelqua said.

"How can you be so sure?" Chet asked.

"We just know things," Upton answered.

"What the fuck am I going to do with this information?" Sherenidy shouted and raised her glare from the book.

"What does it say?" Mao asked and leaned to look over Sherenidy's shoulder.

"It says that the Watcher Academy's head Watcher has been married over twenty times in the last two years! Like what the actual fuck?" Sherenidy shouted and everyone started laughing.

"Isn't that kinda illegal?" Kasen laughed.

"He's the head Watcher, so I guess that not," Sherenidy just shrugged.

"Does that mean that we're allowed to do that too?" Upton asked.

"There's nothing stopping us," Mao laughed.

"Expect ᔑꖎ↸ᒷリ and maybe the law," Sherenidy said.

"Small mistakes," Xelqua shrugged.

"True," Kasen nodded.

"Btw, weren't we supposed to do something?" Chet asked.

"Like what?" Xelqua questioned.

"SHIT! WE HAD TO FILL THIS MONTHS REPORTS!" Sherenidy shouted and everyone froze.

Then tee chaos started and everyone was just running around like headless chickens trying to find their reports.

{Flashback ends}

"Just a bit weird," I answered getting a flashback from one of our moments.

"Okay," Iskall nodded.

Then our conversation was cut off by Xisuma, who was standing in front of everyone.

"Hello dear fellow Hermits and welcome to Hermitcraft's Christmas party! This year we also have two special guests here! Please welcome in, The Lead Watcher Xenex and The Main Watcher Sherenidy!" Xisuma spoke and shocked everyone. "We are lucky to have such an amazing guests here with us today!"

I glared at my siblings. They were both dressed in their Watcher clothes, like always. The Hermits didn't recognize Xenex as Evil Xisuma, which was a good thing. They both seemed to have noticed me and gave me a smile. I gave them a smile back.

"Welcome to Hermitcraft Xenex and Sherenidy," Xisuma smiled behind his helmet.

"It is a pleasure to be here Xisumavoid," Sherenidy smiled.

"Agreed," Xenex nodded.

"Why are we being so formal?" Sherenidy quietly asked from Xenex.

"I dunno," Xenex shrugged.

"Something like a great first impression or like that," I couldn't hold it and spoke out.

"Hah! I've never seen you give a good first impression!" Sherenidy joked.

People were a bit shocked to see me communicate with a Main Watcher so easily. I even noticed how shocked they looked.

"I always give a good first impression," I protested.

"I want to see that," Xenex joined the joking too.

"You've already seen that," I smirked.

Then our joking was cut off and Xisuma started the party. We all spread around the Christmas district area. I ended up leaning against a fence next to the drinks with Xenex. Sherenidy had ended up talking to Xisuma, Bdubs and Keralis a few meters away from us.

"What do you think, will Shen drink alcohol?" Xenex joked.

"Hah, she's not old enough. She has to wait three years before she's 18," I laughed.

"She doesn't need alcohol to be drunk," Xenex joked.

"I can hear you two pretty well from here," Sherenidy's sharp voice cut off our conversation.

We both laughed and jokingly apologized to her as she rolled her eyes.

"How do you like Hermitcraft?" Xenex changed the subject.

"I really enjoy it and everyone is really amazing," I smiled.

"That's great! I can't believe that this is actually our first Christmas together somewhere else than in the Academy," Xenex spoke.

"Yeah, finally after 6 years," I nodded.

"We should make this memorable then!" Xenex smirked.

"Definitely!" I smirked back to him.
