New Year’s Eve/Christmas Trip

Chapter One: Christmas Break:

The holidays are coming up. Most are going home. Noiz allowed to be so.

“If any of you are flying home for the holidays, write it down on this sheet of paper,” she said. The list took about three to four pages. Noiz read over the names.

“Are you going home for the holidays?” Mosh asked as he embraced her from behind. She smiled and shook her head.

“Nah,” she said. Her husband gave her a puzzled look.

“What do you mean?” he asked. She turned with a smile on her face.

“I don’t feel like it,” Noiz said. “Besides, I have something special for the students here.”

“Huh?” Mosh asked. Noiz gently took him by the cheeks.

“Are you going back home for the holidays?” she asked.

“No,” he said.

“No?” Noiz asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Don’t have one,” he said. His wife got out of his grasp and turned to him.

“Well then,” she said. “Looks like we’re going to have to make the most of this Christmas with the students here, aren’t we?” Mosh blinked for a moment.

“What does that mean? What are you planning to do?” he asked. She smiled and tapped him on the nose.

“You are going to have to come along and see, aren’t you?” Noiz asked. She turned and walked down the hall. Mosh had to run and catch up with her.

Everyone living for the holidays did so three days before Christmas Eve. Noiz wished them all a safe trip.

“See you in January,” she said. They each waved her off. Soon, the campus was mostly empty. Those left behind didn’t mind it.

And now let’s check in on everyone over Christmas and New Year’s all around the world, shall we? It could be. Shall we do it? Good. Let’s get started.
