From all of us, to all of you; A very Merry Christmas! 🎶

Our day. 🎶

The wedding. 🎶

The first movie was a general family favorite by now; Armageddon. They all knew it, even Libby and Izzy, so there was mostly talking and eating. 

Liam: Do you ever talk? They looked at Izzy who looked back at the older dragon and nodded. Like most times they visited it was Libby that did all the talking while Izzy mostly kept to themselves and quiet. Libby: He does, just not that often, besides, I talk enough for both of us! Rylan: That’s the truth! There was a chuckle, Liam looking over at Izzy, who for once seemed to have a small smile on his face. He wondered though, what had made Izzy so quiet but decided not to push it. Liam: Maybe one day huh?

Again a nod from the younger dragon, as Liam went back to focusing more on the other ones and what they were all talking about, letting Izzy sit and listen to them as they would usually do. After a couple of hours of chatting, laughing, and random quiet moments where someone asked Izzy something until Libby answered for them as usual, Fannar and Arlo came to take their two home with them. The rest of the evening and night vanished in movies and well, way too much candy.

Emil: Like a third wheel, as it's called? Rylan: Kinda… Emil: Have you told Ye-Min Rylan: No.. It’s just so dumb. The two of us hang out all the time, and I don’t feel that way about her, she is just my best friend… Emil: And you're afraid that will change? Rylan: Yes… And I can’t see my life without her in it, as it’s always been us two.

Emil wiped some tears from his son's cheek, sitting him down on the sofa.  Emil: I think you should talk to her about it, and be honest, tell her what is in your heart, and I am sure she will understand. Perhaps, you even get another friend? Rylan: You don’t think she will be mad at me? For being so dumb? Emil: She might giggle at you, I mean, we know her that well. But mad at you, no, I can’t see that. But I have a feeling there is more? Rylan: -sighs- Is there something wrong with me, for not feeling that way about her?

It was much like they remembered from the pictures that Hayle and Chris had shown them from their wedding, just different colors on the flowers and of course, they could only guess chairs and such had been changed since then. And of course, the food caterer was someone else as it would seem Carl’s place was now the family wedding caterer. 

Flynn: Vy is waiting for you and the little ones over there, and my dad, Fan and Arlo will help me out. Lucas has said he will do the greeting as people come. -he kissed his dragon on the cheek.- see you in a little. 

Tyvan and Rylan had already found their “Gramma Vy” so Emil just smiled giving Flynn a quick kiss back before he went to find all three of them and get ready. Flynn knew his dad would be the best to help keep him calm, Fannar being his best man, and well Arlo enjoyed the company of his father as well. 

Vy: I agree, mommy looks very pretty.

They smile at the two little ones who he has helped into their suits, while Emil had been busy putting on their own. There had been so many weddings lately that they couldn’t help being reminded once again of their own. 

Emil: I saw pictures from your wedding, it looked amazing Vy: It really was. Hayden pulled out all the stops that day, so to say. Emil: Thank you. Vy: For what? Emil: For helping today, and allowing me into the family.

Tyvan: Well the worst that can possibly happen is that you don’t win, and you try again next year. Rylan: When you say it like that it doesn’t sound so scary. I just don’t want to let everyone down I guess, especially Min. Tyvan: As long as you two do your best, then no one can really expect anything more, can they? Rylan: No, and since when did you become this calm and collected? Tyvan: Eh, I admit, I am only saying what Ams told me when I was fretting about it earlier today.

Rylan chuckled, he was happy to have his brother be this comfortable with someone, and happy at the same time. They knew that Ams had applied for police school with a hope to become a detective, and with Tyvan’s plans now being to become a criminal psychologist which he had thought would be very interesting. It would be strange not to have Ams at school with him, but he knew he would see him other times.

Rylan: Well good, then I know who to actually thank for all this sage advice later.

Tyvan just laughed, watching as Rylan went to pack his bags, so they could head off as soon as their parents were back from work. They had decided to make a weekend off it, and had hotel rooms and everything. Liam was also coming along, while most the others would come for the day itself, but not the whole weekend. 

As they arrived, Ryland and Ye-Min were taken by their coach to signups, before they had some time to just hang with the others at the ice rink.

Emil nodded, they had thought it might happen at some point, but these two, they had just stayed the best of friends and nothing seemed to change that. On the ice though, they had a chemistry that was undeniable, but they both said the same thing when asked every time they competed, that they were just friends.

With school starting for everyone, life settled into what was the kid's normal routine, school, homework often done in the training rink while Ye-Min and Rylan were practicing, and then of course helping them get through it as well. Liam had been asked if he wanted to train some more with the barista they had worked with in the summer, so they all kept busy in many ways, yet still found time to help out at the shelters as well.

By the next spring, the biggest talk was Ams graduating as he was some years older than them, and that Rylan and Ye-Min had qualified for the nationals which again could see them go even further with their skating. As they were still young, the talk of the sports news was if they would enter the youth world championships if they won their nationals.

Tyvan: Nervous? Rylan: A little, it suddenly feels so big and serious.

Tyvan smiled as they sat down next to their twin outside. Tomorrow was the start of the nationals weekend, and he could see how his twin would feel that way.
