" Ornament" Quatre flicked the ancient glass ornament around, dangling it from his fingertips so he could see the light bounce through its painted surface. They had a fiberglass tree, as did most colony residents. The tree was painted green and once powered up, would have lights blinking out the tips of each fabricated branch and one bright gaping flashlight at the tip, waiting for a star or angel to top it off. Wufei finally managed to get the lights plugged in, the normally dignified Chinese man having to hang himself upside down over the back of the white leather couch to get to the one free socket in the apartment (the electricity being in short supply around Christmas time). The bright naked light at the top of the tree cast lightening light on the entire room and broadcast the colors of the ornament all over the room, highlighting the long shared couch; the bookshelf littered with mandarin philosophy, Duo’ Superman Comics, tawdry Romance novel’s of Trowa’s, a L337 encyclopedia, and self help How To manuals; and twinkled off the mounted set of five wine flutes they drank from at their wedding. The colors all merged in the one ornament just like the pilots merged into the one house. Each a vivid color on their own, but a masterpiece when combined. Quatre began to hang the ornament on a branch, and felt
Wufei slide his arms around his waist comfortably when he grabbed
at another shining globe to hang on the tree. The other pilots followed
suit, each of them crouching around the tree to pin their favorite
decoration on the one big tree, touching and smiling and just being
together. Quatre smiled, basking in the warmth all around him; it
was going to be a merry Christmas.
