Chapter 21: Back to Colorado for Christmas

Carrie was packing up some things alongside the Warner siblings. "Oh man, I'm so excited for this road trip to your old home. I've always wondered what it was like." Yakko finished up packing and then pulled out some presents. "I got us these early. Open up." Carrie, Wakko, and Dot open theirs up and they all have matching Christmas sweaters. "So what do you think?" Dot immediately spin changes into hers. "I love it, brother sib. It's so cozy and warm." Carrie puts hers on and felt an itch. "It's a little itchy, what's this thing made of?" Then Yakko points to his eyes and spoke "Eyelashes!" And Carrie shakes her head, giggling. "Only you."

Lauren laughs at her dad's antics as a horn honked outside. "That must be them." Dot looked out the tower door and saw Daniel and Amelia waiting outside for them. "We're coming down!" Carrie calls to them and the five get down on an elevator and walk to the van, getting inside. "We're going to make our first pit stop in an hour cause the tank is at a quarter full of gas. Breaks can be taken then." Amelia reminds them and they all buckled up, then they drove off. "Happy holidays Mr. And Mrs. Nelson." Wakko takes Amelia's hand and kisses it softly. "Oh.. Why thank you. I'm flattered and we're glad you could tag along." She blushes and then looked away.

(The next day)

The five arrive back at the cabin home and they all stepped out and went inside, taking off their shoes. "Ooh. It's so nice and cozy in here." Dot looked around the place in awe. "Come on, I'll show you my old room." Carrie leads the pack upstairs and she takes the run away letter off of the door, ripped it up into pieces and then opens up the door, showing them her old room. The colors consisted of reds and purples. There was a little crib set up for Lauren. "Aww, I love this room." Wakko laid on the bed and felt the softness sink in. "So comfy and warm." Carrie lets out a happy sigh and sits down next to him. "Yeah. It was quite the sight. This is where me and Yakko will be for the few days we're here." Then she blew a kiss to the audience. "Goodnight everybody!"

Then the five went up to the attic and they saw the box with the 'Memories' name on it. Carrie opened it back up and saw all of the VHS tapes that were inside it. "Ooh! Let's watch these together for the memories." Carrie immediately panicked and said "No. All these tapes except this one were full of unhappy moments. Mom wants them gone. I don't care what you do, just don't keep it here." The three put the tapes to try and test her theory. "I'm sure it's not that bad."

(2 hours later)

They all say there, shocked out of their minds. Carrie was calming down a crying Lauren and Wakko ends up eating the tapes to get rid of them. "Never doing THAT again." Dot and Yakko agreed with him as Daniel calls from the kitchen. "Dinner is almost ready you guys." Carrie shuts the box after putting some things that were meant to be happy and they all left the attic and into the kitchen where the meal was almost complete. "This looks Amazing." They all got their share of food and they began to eat, sharing stories. Carrie told the most stories and got the most laughs. Lauren gets fed some of her mashed fruit by Dot, as she couldn't eat solids just yet.

Afterwards, Carrie helped clean up. "Carrie, you have shown me what you can really do. Go farther than I have ever imagined. For once.. I'm finally proud of you." Amelia hugged her, showing her the love that was missing. Carrie hugged back. "I told you that people can change momma.. You just have to dig down a little deeper." Then her and Yakko step outside while Daniel helped change Lauren. "Hey Yakko.. Thank you. Thank you for everything you have shown me over this year. I don't know who I would be without you.." Yakko held onto Carrie as they stared at the stars. "We're glad too Carrie. We're glad to have you as well. I hope that these memories will last forever." She chuckled and pats his head. "Ditto.."

"But the good times weren't meant to last..."
