"HOHOHOHO!" a high-pitched yet boisterous laugh could be heard across Magatsu Inaba as the group continued to dive deeper, trying to reach the boss that they knew, from experience at this point, would unlock the path to reach Adachi. However, Yosuke could only groan in annoyance as he, Teddie, Kanji, and Naoto pulled a sleigh-shaped cart down the pathway. In the cart, Yu and Yukiko sat and launched out elemental attacks at the Shadows they passed using their respective Personas while Chie and Rise, who had no trouble keeping up with the heavy cart, took up the rear guard. "Why are we even doing this?!" Yosuke moaned.

"Ah, quit your whining, Senpai," Kanji, who had hung his Christmas Wreath weapon around his neck, replied from behind as he tried to ignore the fact that he was running next to Naoto, who he found really cute in her reindeer costume. "This is actually kind of fun."

Teddie, who was running alongside Yosuke, cheered wildly and shouted between breaths, "Merry Christmas!" as his Persona, Kamui, showered the paths in front of them with snow.

"Ugh... Teddie, please stop being so cheerful... we're trying to make sure we HAVE a Christmas, for crying out loud," Yosuke muttered to himself, knowing the bear wouldn't listen. He glanced back and shouted at Yu, "Hey, bro, how come you're making Naoto pull in your place?"

Yu shrugged and replied, "Naoto wouldn't wear the dress, and I couldn't fit into the last reindeer outfit." Looking at the merrily-laughing Yukiko, who, with her outfit complete with her Santa Fan weapon, sat beside him, he added, "And besides, the Queen's orders are always absolute. We needed a way to break the stress, and this was the most fun."

"Didn't we agree to never bring that up again?! And besides, who agreed to this?" Yosuke shouted back.

"I did," replied the whole team. Yosuke couldn't do anything but silently cry as they continued onward.


AN: Yeah, it probably could've been done better, but I couldn't think of anything decent for Christmas (or at least, anything that isn't naughty, which is something I won't write). Anyway, sorry for the late upload, but hope you had a Merry Christmas, and have an awesome New Year! ^_^
