Chapter 17: Froggy Little Christmas

(Inside the Boonchuy residence, Mrs. Boonchuy carries a box of decorations and hangs a garland, and places mini Christmas items. At the kitchen table, Domino is in a Santa Claus outfit. Mrs. Boonchuy puts a Santa hat on her head, and she meows softly. At the living room, she places more Christmas items on the bookshelf and fixes the Christmas tree. In the kitchen, Mr. Boonchuy is sporting a festive sweater as Anne bobs her head to music while Kevin is rubbing Kanna's belly, earning a moan and smile from her. Her mother comes in and puts a green Santa hat on her head, which she adjusts with a smile. The Plantars are shown to be confused of what's happening.)

Hop Pop: "Anne, Kevin, what's happening?"

Sprig: (Hopping onto the table) "Are we under attack? Are these fortifications? Booby traps? Weapons?"

Kevin: "Guys, calm down. It's just Christmas."

Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop: "It's what?"

Anne: "Shoot. I never explained this? Christmas is one of the biggest Earth holidays. And us Boonchuys go big!"

Sprig: "Ah. A holiday! Neato! So what's it about?"

Kevin: (comes in with Kanna on his shoulder) "It's a holiday where family comes together to have a big best meal, sing Christmas songs, and open presents. Like Anne said, it's a big holiday to end all holidays."

(The Plantars nods in understanding and Anne heard a phone ring coming from the kitchen as she and her father check it out while Kevin was finish decorating the house. Afterwards, Anne approaches Kevin with a smile.)

Anne: "Hey, Kev, we're gonna give my parents the parade float of their dreams. You in?"

Kevin: "Sure, Anne."

(Some minutes later, we see Kevin, Anne and the Plantars are at a city avenue.)

Polly: "So, what's the plan, you two? How we making this boat?"

Kevin: "It's call a float, not a boat, Polly."

Sprig: "Like a drink?"

Kevin: (facepalms) "No, not even close."

Anne: "Yeah, (hands Polly a piece of drawing paper) and don't worry, we've got great ideas for this bad boy."

Polly: (as watches the drawing) "Oooohh!"

Anne: "The first thing we'll need is some technical help. Anyone know any tech experts?"

Polly: (opens the Plantar clamshell phone) "Do I?"

(Kevin, with Kanna on top of his shoulder, Anne and the Plantars arrive at the IT Gals' residence. Electronic Christmas music plays as the robots dance. The Plantars are impressed. Kevin and Anne are now shown talking to the IT Gals.)

Anne: "Thank you so much for helping us with this float."

Ally: "No problem! We'll do anything electronic, animatronic."

Jess: "Technotronic... really any other "tronic"."

Anne: "Thanks you two. You're absolute lifesavers."

Ally: (points to her and gives her a thumbs up) "Hey, don't mention it."

Jess: "Now go grab some eggnog and enjoy the party!"

Anne: (clicks tongue them) (goes to a table and has some eggnog) (talks to a robot cat) "So, come here often?" (the robot cat makes her a cookie) (gasps) (recives it) "Cookie!" (eats it) (talks to Kevin who is feeding Kanna with a cookie) "So, Kevin, what was Christmas like back at your home?"

Kevin: (frowns) "Well, I never really celebrated it. As usual, my parents would usually leave to work for the holidays and I was all alone. Nobody to celebrate Christmas with me."

Anne: "I'm so sorry, Kevin. But what about your ex? Did she celebrate Christmas with you?"

Kevin: "Actually, no. Back on that day, that's when I saw her cheating on me with another boy who bullied me in middle school." (Anne gasps) "Yeah, it'd surprised me too. I was so sad on that day and that's when I was planning to leave that godforsaken place and start my new life where I can accepted for real."

Anne: "And that's when you got your powers and accept a job at my parent's restaurant, right?"

Kevin: (nods with a smile) "Yep. And you know what, (shed a teardrop) I'm happy with my new life now. I have people who care for me (looks at Anne) and an awesome girlfriend who I'm spending my life with."

Anne: (smile) "What did I ever do to deserve you, Kevin?"

(She pulls him into a kiss on the lips and the two began making out passionately and deeply for a few moments before they broke it off when Jess and Ally approached them.)

Kevin: "Hey, girls. What's up?"

Ally and Jess: "Hey, Kevin~! Look, it's a mistletoe. You know what that means?"

(Kevin blushed when he saw the mistletoe and sighed as he goes to kiss both Ally and Jess by their cheeks, leaving them blushing messes and squeals in happiness.)

Kevin: "Merry Christmas, girls."

Anne: (thoughts) 'Hmm, seems like these two do love Kevin too. I guess I'll have to share.'

(After the party was over, Kevin, Kanna, Anne and the Plantars exits out the IT Gals residence.)

Anne: (while putting on her helmet) "All right! Technies secured! Next up, we'll need some decorations to populate the float. And I think know just (puts on her tightening belt) who'll have some."

(Kevin, Anne and the Plantars go to the Museum of Natural History. Interior decoration shown for the holiday.)

Sprig: "Woooow..."

Hop Pop: "I didn't think this place could get any crazier."

(A man looks at an old Christmas wreath, but Doctor Jan appears out of nowhere, greets him and freaks out.)

Dr. Jan: "Hello, sir! Interested in learning the history of mistletoe? It's a not-so-jolly tale of monarchic betrayals and bloodshed originating in the early 13th century-- (looks at Kevin, Kanna, Anne and the Plantars) Anne! Kevin! You two are just in time for a festive lecture. Strap in."

Anne: "Hey, Dr. Jan. Actually, we're building my parents a parade float and we need all the help we can get."

Kevin: "Yeah, do you have something for us to make the float. Like decorations, props..."

Dr. Jan: "OOOOHH, I love the Chistmapalooza parade! You could use some mannequins and wintry flora from our dioramas. Take your pick."

Anne: (while cries with joy) "Thanks, Dr. Jan! Come on, Kevin! My mom is gonna love this!!"

(She is going to pick up some parties of choice with Kevin following her along while the Plantars are with Dr. Jan. The couples helped each other picked out creepy mannequins of Santa, 5 Reindeers, a Bear, and a Mammoth and put them in a wagon. The couples looked at each other and shared a high-five, cheering in success.)

Anne: "Okay, guys. Ready for our next stop?" (The wagon is full of creepy mannequins. The Plantars made a scared reaction) "What?"

Hop Pop: "I think I spoke too soon about the ritual sacrifices."

Kevin: "Relax, guys. We're fine. Let's get going."

-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Anne as Santa and Chibi Kevin as a reindeer-

(It's already December 24 and the float has been complete all thanks to the Thai community, the IT Gals, Kevin, the Plantars, Domino, and Frobo. Anne leaves as she leads her parents. They have their eyes covered.)

Anne: "OK. So I really wanted to do something special for you guys since you've done so much for me. And well... open your eyes."

(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy open their eyes. They gasp at the sight of the float. Certain parts are shown and then the full profile is shown. The IT Gals lean out the right window of their truck suddenly.)

Ally and Jess: "SURPRISE!" (horn honks)

Oum: "Wow! This is amazing!" (giggles) "But what about keeping a low profile?"

(At the top of the float, the Plantars appear.)

Hop Pop: "Ho Ho... Uuhh... Line?"

Polly: (after reviewing the script) "Ho!"

Hop Pop: "Are you sure? Doesn't sound right."

Anne: "See? No one will suspect anything. I wasn't gonna let you give up on your dreams 'cause of me." (looks at her) "You wanted this for so long and you deserve it."

Oum: (hugs her) (pleased) "It's perfect. Thank you so much."

Anne: "Merry Christmas, Mom." (when her mother breaks the hug) (looks around) "Hey, where's Kevin?"

Polly: "Oh, he's still putting on his outfit. KEVIN GET UP HERE!"

Kevin: (from o.c.) "Hold on, I'm not ready yet."

Polly: (goes down) "Come on, Anne's waiting for you. So GET UP HERE!"

(She comes back with Kevin blushing completely red and wearing a reindeer suit, causing Anne, Ally and Jess to blushed madly and have hearts in their eyes.)

Kevin: "God, this is so embarrassing."

Anne, Ally and Jess: (thoughts) 'God, he's so cute.'

-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Anne, Ally and Jess taking pictures of Kevin as a reindeer-

(At night, the annual holiday parade begins. The main avenue is shown with all the floats of the year's parading.)

Announcer: "Welcome, everyone, to the annual holiday parade! And introducing newcomers... THAI GO!!!"

(On the Thai Go float, Kanna and Polly are shown handing out sweets to the audience while Hop Pop is accompanying them.)

Hop Pop: "HO HO... uumm... line..."

Polly: "Ugh, you gotta be kidding me. You're an actor!"

Anne: "Whoo!" (looks at her)

(Oum sniffles)

Anne: "Mom? What's wrong? If it's not perfect, I'll fix it!"

Oum: "No no. It's just really nice to be part of the community like this." (while looks at the people) "Ever since your father and I came here from Bangkok, it's been a challenge fitting in. I've always thought making it into this parade would mean we had family done it."

Anne: "Wow... I never knew you and Dad felt that way and after months is Wartwood, I know what it's like feeling out of place."

(She joins her mother and they both watch the audience cheering before Sprig takes the microphone.)

Sprig: "Ladies and gentlemen! Give a round of applause to our friend who's going to sing for us, Kevin!"

(The people cheers and applauds when Kevin stood in the middle of that float with a mic and clears his throat, beginning to sing.)

Kevin:

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(After the song finished, everyone cheers and applauds Kevin as he bows.)

(In an alley the drone appears. King Andrias is then shown frustrated.)

King Andrias: "I can't wait to squash this stupid world. At this rate, it'll take a miracle to find Anne!" (suddenly he finds the Thai Go float and sees Anne)

Anne: "WHOO! I'M ANNE BOONCHUY!" (jumps) "I'M ANNE BOONCHUY!" (throws them some sweets and joined by Kevin and Sprig)

Kevin and Sprig: "She's Anne Boonchuy!"

King Andrias: "Well... that was easy."

(Back on the Thai Go float, Kevin and Anne are dancing together with Kanna and the Plantars as Oum watches.)

Kevin: "Well, that was fun." (smiling)

Anne: "Babe, why didn't you tell me you can sing?"

Kevin: "You'd never ask."

Oum: "You were right, Anne. I shouldn't have been so worried about everything. I can't believe I almost missed out on this! I love Christmas so much!" (audience ovation)

Mr. Boonchuy: (crouches down and gets the camera ready) (chuckles) "This is gonna be SO candid." (Kevin, Anne, Oum, Kanna and the Plantars gather for the photo)

King Andrias: (through the giant robotic Santa after he turned around and sees them. they listen to it) "Ho ho HO. Hello, Anne Boonchuy." (ready a laser gun)

Kevin: "What the hell...?!"

Mr. Boonchuy: (just takes a picture of them, but when he watches them, he gets frustrated again) "Aw man." (in the photo it shows Kevin, Anne, Kanna, Oum and the Plantars panting) "Well, that's definitely ruined."

Anne: "That voice! It can't be! King Andrias?!"

Polly: "SANTA?"

Sprig: "King Andrias is Santa?!"

Hop Pop: "This holiday just keeps getting weirder!"

Kevin: "No, that's not Santa! It's a giant robot of him, and it's being controlled by the King!" (thoughts) 'And I thought tonight was going to be okay. But I guess not.'

(The public is now scared when the giant robot fires a blast from his eyes and luckily, it missed the Thai GO float as Polly jumps on the hood of the truck.)

Polly: "WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE, NOW!!!

Ally and Jess: (with cute faces and drawings of robot heads) "BU-BUT... GIANT ROBOT!!"

Kevin: "ALLY! JESS! PUNCH IT!!!"

Ally and Jess: (shake themselves to regain consciousness) "RIGHT!"

(Jess hits the reverse pedal and they speed away just as the giant robotic Santa double-fists them. The float turns around and goes faster. The giant robotic Santa chases them.)

King Andrias: (cackling) "Wait! You didn't even get to open your presents!"

Polly: (after being with Hop Pop on top of the tree) "Hold up. Presents? Maybe we should hear this guy out."

(The giant Santa takes out a pair of gift-cannons on his shoulders and throws their explosive caps at them. Kevin see's this, converts into his classic Mega Buster and shoot the explosives out of the sky.)

Anne: "Thanks, Kevin."

Kevin: "Don't mention it. Protect the folks (steps forward) I'll handle the King!"

King Andrias: (glaring) "So you must be the new boy Cloak-Bot told me about?"

Kevin: "Yep, that's me." (strikes a battle pose) "And I'm about to end your reign of terror for good."

King Andrias: (smirk) "I'd like to see you try."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Kevin began firing his Mega Buster at the giant Santa and shoots a missile at him, sending the giant back.)

King Andrias: (cackling) "Is that all you got?"

Kevin: (smugly) "Tell me something, Andrias. Does a king such as yourself know (his eyes turn red) fear?" (vanishes and reappears in front of giant Santa robot) (performs flurry of punches at it before punching it so hard, it was send back a few feet away)

King Andrias: "Ugh! Curse you!"

Anne: (when Kevin comes back aboard) "OH! I AM SO SICK OF ROBOTS!

Hop Pop: "He's too powerful!"

Sprig: "Anne, Kevin, does Santa have a weakness?"

Kevin: "I don't think so. Besides, I don't think Santa has any weaknesses. Plus, he's a good jolly fella, remember?"

Mr. Boonchuy: "Should we throw milk and cookies?"

Anne: "I don't think that's going to work, you guys!"

(Sprig and Polly grab a giant cookie and throw it at the giant robotic Santa.)

King Andrias: "Ho ho-- (hit by cookie) OOOOH!"

Kevin and Anne: "Well, I'll be danged."

King Andrias: "Hew, now! That's not jolly!"

(The IT Gals scream at a dead end, so Jess hits the brakes. The giant robotic Santa corners them.)

Kevin: "CRAP! We hit a dead end."

Anne: "We're all out of... everything!"

King Andrias: "Looks like this is the end of the road, Anne... literally! And you've (the giant robotic Santa readies a giant laser gun in his mouth) been a very bad girl this year."

Kevin: (gets in front of Anne) (defends Anne) "The only one who's being naughty around here is you!" (aims his Mega Buster and shoots King Andrias, sending the giant Santa back)

Sprig: "What do we have have left to throw? Something! Anything!"

Anne: "The tree! We've gotta--"

Polly: "Light it on fire!" (with a cute face) "Finally!"

(Anne takes the tree and puts it in a can-cannon. Sprig picks it up and takes aim at the giant robotic Santa. Hop Pop strike a match and light the fuse.)

Anne: "HEY ANDRIAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Kevin: "AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YA!"

King Andrias: (from the throne room) "Hey, thanks. You too. Wait... NO!!"

(The tree is shot and stabs the giant robotic Santa and from the top, stabs right through the drone, destroying it. The giant robotic Santa loses control as its lasers misfire into the sky and a few fireworks go off. Then the giant robotic Santa is destroyed and is dropped.)

(Music stops here)

(Suddenly, it starts to snow. The Boonchuys, Kevin, Kanna, the Plantars and the IT Gals come out to see him.)

Anne: "I don't believe this. Look! It's snowing."

Sprig: (sticks out his tongue to taste it) "Nope. Ash. It's ash."

Kevin: "Aah... That makes more sense." (gets his right cheek nuzzled by Kanna)

(Back in Amphibia, King Andrias is furious. He rises from the throne.)

King Andrias: (pulls out the VR goggles and smashes it) "DANG IT! IT'S (throws the controller to the ground) THE STUPID CONTROLLER'S FAULT!" (pulls out his sword and destroys the controller, throwing a tantrum) "I WAS SO CLOSE TOO!!!" (pants)

Darcy: (shown herself) (chuckles) "That was pathetic." (as holds a 20 sided die) (King Andrias looks at her) "And you call yourself a king?"

King Andrias: (walks to the balcony) "It doesn't matter. Against (looks his full army) the full force of our army, none shall stand." (the Full Army is shown) Not Anne, not the Savior of Worlds, not Earth, not anyone."

(Back on Earth, the Boonchuys and the Plantars return to the Boonchuy residence, as the dilapidated float is seen.)

Radio: "Police are still cleaning up the debris well into the night." (Mr. Boonchuy then turns off the radio)

(Oum groans and giggles)

Anne: "Mom! What's wrong? Are you OK?"

Oum: (laughs) "That was so dangerous!"

(The Boonchuys, Kevin and the Plantars laugh and then sigh.)

Mr. Boonchuy: "A murderous Santa robot. Never thought I'd see that!"

(The Boonchuys, and the Plantars get out of the van.)

Sprig: "Scary stuff."

Hop Pop: "It was the combo of jolly AND murderous that really made it feel special."

Anne: "Mom, sorry my gift almost got us killed.

Oum: "Anne, stop." (turns and looks at her) "Your heart was in the right place and that's what Christmas is all about."

Anne: "Thanks, Mom." (hugs with her)

Oum: "And besides at the end of the day, all that matters is that we're together. Like your father, he's still happy even though he didn't get his perfect photo."

Mr. Boonchuy: "Oh, I didn't?" (takes a picture out of his pocket)

Anne: "What?"

Oum: "When? How?"

Mr. Boonchuy: "Candid, baby."

(Mr. Boonchuy shows them the photo. They were celebrating for the victory against the giant robotic Santa. The group is impressed.)

Sprig: "Hey, Kevin and Anne! I got you both something." (takes out the presents) "Open them up."

(Kevin and Anne takes the present and when they opened it, their eyes widen when they saw their wooden versions of themselves.)

Sprig: "It's you, guys. 'Cause, you're our heroes."

Anne: (pleased) "Thanks, dude."

Kevin: "Yeah, they're amazing."

(They knelt down and hugged Sprig)

Mr. Boonchuy: "Now, let's go inside and eat cookies!" (enters the residence)

Everyone: (cheer) "Cookies!!!" (enters the residence)

(Later that night, we see everyone relaxing while Anne approaches Kevin.)

Anne: "Hey, Kevin, I got you something." (handing him a present)

Kevin: "Anne, you don't have to..."

Anne: "I know, but I wanted to. And it's not much, but..."

(Kevin opens the present and when he opens it, his eyes widen when he sees a picture of himself and Anne younger smiling and giving out peace signs at the photo.)

Anne: "What do you think?"

(His eyes began to shed some teardrops and he quickly happily hugs Anne, catching her off guard. But she returned the gesture with a smile on her face.)

Kevin: "Thank you, Anne. Merry Christmas."

Anne: "Merry Christmas to you, Kevin."

(Cut into Anne's bedroom, we see Kevin is sleeping on the right side of the bed with Kanna sleeping on top of his head and a picture frame of young himself and Anne standing on the shelf while Anne thinks about what she will write as a letter on his computer table.)

Anne: (thoughs) (writing) 'I can't imagine spending the holidays without your family. I know how hard it is to be apart and not know of you'll ever see each other again. So I'm writing to let you know that your daughter is alive. She's trapped in another world, but I promise... I'm going to bring her back home safe. Signed... a friend.'

(The episode culminates with 3 stamped envelopes, one of which is for Sasha's father, one for Sasha's mother, and the last one for Marcy's family. So Anne intends to write the same essay for all of them before joining Kevin in her bed and sleeps with him while hugging him.)

Chapter cleared.
