The time of joy and fun had come to Multiverse City. One day before Christmas, Leon and his friends prep up fo this holiday season. Leon is working on the lights around the house right now. Dave and Achilles were shopping for some ingredients and gifts for everyone at the mall, and Ruby was deciding what to get for her boyfriend this year with Mangle

Ruby: You really gotta help me here, Mangle.

Mangle: Don't look at me. I'm not the one who decided to go here int he first place.

Ruby: I just want this holiday to be special for the both of us. We've been together for seven months now and I really want this to be very special.

???: Did someone say special?

A man comes out of an aisle and greets himself.

Cadwell: Good evening to you two lasses. My name is Cadwell, hero of Tamriel and slayer of the Deadra.

Mangle: Hold on, you're THE Cadwell. The one who somehow defeated Molag Bal?

Cadwell: Well not without some elbow grease now. I've heard you had some trouble trying to get something special for your loved one.

Ruby: Yeah, I do. I'm still haven't decided what to get for him.

Cadwell: Well don't fear, miss Rose. I will gladly be of service to you. Just like how I am of service of the Minutemen.

Ruby: The Minutemen? Oh yeah, he told me about that.

Mangle: Well now that you're here, we could use a extra set of hands  for the stuff we're bringing home.

Cadwell: Say no more. I will gladly help a fellow in need.

{Meanwhile back the Cartoon Universe HQ}

Leon: Okay, that should be the last one. And got it. *Gets of ladder* Okay, let's see if this baby works.

He pushes a button on a remote to light up the house with green, red, blue, yellow, purple, pink, and orange lights.

Leon: Now THAT is a Christmas house.

Sonic: *Speeds in* How buddy. I see you got the lights on.

Leon: You know, Dracula and his monster friends along with the Dwarfs are doing thier own decorating inside the house.

Inside the house, Doc and Dracula were supervising the ones who are working on the Christmas decorations. Harry used his old wrappings to wrap some Christmas presents, despite it to have a strange smell. Greg and Frankenstein are outside building snowmen with Dopey. Lizzy was in the kitchen making her own kind of eggnog.

Lizzy: *Cackles* The eggs of a chicken. The eye of a troll. The essence of a soul, and finally, the milk of cow.

She puts the ingredients together and starts stirring the cauldron full of eggnog and casts a spell to finish the process.

Lizzy: It is done, my pretties.

Leon and Dave, along with some other people who came back from I'm thier own shopping, went inside to see their friends already decorating for the festive season.

Leon: Hey guys, we...*Sniffs the air* augh...

Yang: What is that smell?

Lizzy: What it's my latest brew, the witch-nog.

Grumpy: That sounds stupid.

Spongebob: And probably delicious.

Lizzy: Here, have a taste.

Yang and Spongebob take the cup sample. As they drink, Yang immediately spits it out while Spongebob just drinks the whole thing.

Yang: Augh! What was in that Nog!

Lizzy: I just added some eye of troll and essence of a soul.

Yang: What?!

Spongebob: I still think it tastes good.

Tails: Maybe I can help with that.

Tails suggest a new vial that he was working on for this season.

Tails: This will do the trick.

Lizzy takes the vial and pours it into the mixture and stirs it around until it is done.

Tails: You see, this vail I made will make anything taste good, even if it's completely disgusting.

Lizzy: *Taste the Nog* Ohh, you're right. This is the best I ever tasted.

Brock: Hey, where's my sample.

Doc: So where's Anakin and Weiss?

Blake: Oh yeah. They're staying with her family at New York.

Leon: I thought they lived in Atlas.

Blake: Not since they exploited a conspiracy that led to Mr.Schnee's arrest.

Leon: Wait, Oswald isn't her real father?

Blake: He's just her stepfather, but Oswald is still a good Father anyway. Unlike that cunt in prison.

Sonic: That I did not know.

Leon: Hey, where's Ruby?

Yang: She's not here yet? She's still probably at the mall. I'll go get her.

Leon: If you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab ourselves a tree for our Christmas.

Leon leaves to the woods to find himself a tree. He walks around the snowy forest and wonders about trying to find the right tree.

Leon: Hmm.. let's see. Aha! Here's one.

He grabs the tree and uses his laser vision to beam out the trees stump. As he finishes, the tree starts to fall down.

Leon: Timber!

Before the tree could hit the ground, he quickly catches the tree and lifts it up.

Leon: Alright Christmas tree. Check.

???: A Christmas tree, you say?

Leon:*Pulls out gun* Who said that?

???: Wait, don't shoot! It's me, Leon.

Leon: Wait, how do know my name?

The figure comes out of the trees.

Leon: Who are you?

???: Why I'm your old imaginary Christmas friend.

Leon: Frosty?

Frosty: That's right. I'm Frosty the Snowman. And since now you have a very special someone to celebrate with, I'm here to tell you about the wonders of celebrating Christmas with your special one.

Leon: Special one? You mean Ruby?

Frosty: Of course. As a matter of fact, she is at the mall right now to get you something for Christmas.

Leon: She is?

Frosty: Of course, it doesn't matter wether you get the gift or not, a gift for a special someone should come from the heart and the thought of it is what counts.

Leon: So you're saying we should just do something that doesn't even involve presents that's special.

Frosty: Of course. People would do anything for thier special one.

Leon: Well, I guess you're right.

Frosty: Of course I'm right. Tis the season of giving. And sharing that is much more satisfying.

Leon: Well thank you, Frosty. I guess I'll be going then.

Frosty: Take care, Leon. Have a merry Christmas!

{Back at the mall}

Cadwell: As you can see, if you give this to him, the lad will certainly have his heart bursting with joy, I mean it metaphorically, not literally.

Ruby: Well, if you say so.

She puts the gift in a box and heads to the next store.

She and Mangle go take some Christmas cookies for the party and they spot Anakin and Weiss at the dairy section.

Mangle: Hey, isn't that Anakin and Weiss over there?

Ruby: Hey, that is. Hey! Hey guys!

Weiss: Ruby?

Anakin: Mangle?

Ruby: What are you guys doing here? I thought you were in New York by now.

Anakin: We had to make a quick stop since Weiss's mother wanted some eggnog for our party so we went here to grab some. So who's the new guy?

Cadwell: Oh right. How rude of me. My name is Cadwell, part of the Multiverse Minutemen, at your service.

Weiss: You don't look exactly...like a Minuteman.

Cadwell: Well I was in that power armor, but it was getting a little heavy, so I took it off.

Anakin: And you're here because?

Cadwell: Well I'm currently helping this lass here to find a special gift for Leon.

Ruby: Uh...yeah. That.😅

Weiss: Are you sure you know what he wants for Christmas?

Ruby: He didn't say. He said that any gift can be okay.

Weiss: Well, we just called our friends and they're already at the house for their Christmas party. You better get going.

Mangle: They're there already?

Cadwell: We got no time to lose then. Let's get going.

Meanwhile with Leon, he carries the tree through the forest. He stops to hear a faint cry for help. He walks fast to see what wrong and he sees a family of wolves being trapped in rocky rubble and fallen trees.

Leon: Aw crap.

He drops the tree And jumps down from a rocky hill and runs to help the pack. He uses his strength to lift up the he trees and tries lifting up the rocks next. The tree he dropped suddenly begins to roll down from the hill and into the pile. Leon tries to stop the tree and uses his legs to block the tree with his hands on the rocks. He tries to push it away and couldn't be able to pull out the rocks. As he struggles to free himself and the wolves from the tree and rocks, a faint light approaches and shines bright which blinds Leon. After a few moments, he opens his eyes and sees himself with the wolves all free and snuggling on him and the tree somehow gone.

Leon: How did I-

???: Ho ho ho.

Leon: What was that?

A large burly man walks towards him and shows a red outfit and hat all too familiar to see.

Leon: Santa?

Santa: Ho ho. Why yes. It's me.

Leon: But...why are you here and not...

Santa: I have been delivering the presents all around the world, but I noticed something in the radar and found you doing something selfless to save these animals.

Leon: Yeah, I did.

Santa: I came here to help you with that. And since I heard that Frosty told you about spending Christmas with your special one, I'm here to not just tell you, but to show you how Christmas will be different now that you're all grown up.

Leon: I guess so.

Santa: Well, hop on my sleigh.

Leon says goodbye to the wolves and jumps on the sleigh. They ride off to the city and Leon is shown the wonders of Christmas were he sees people in groups singing out loud and enjoying the night in the snow. He sees families having fun in skate parks and in the Multiverse City's Christmas festival. Santa lands the sleigh in a nearby place and gets off with Leon.

Leon: What's this place?

Santa: This is where you'll get your gift for her.

Leon: Huh?

They head inside an antique store and Santa goes to a shelf with Christmas ornaments and trinkets. He picks out two birds in the shelf and hands them to Leon.

Leon: What are these?

Santa: These are turtle dove ornaments. They are the representation of both love and peace in this world. This will be your gift to her.

Leon: How so, Santa?

Santa: They say as long as you both have these, no matter where you go, you and that special person will be friends forever.

Leon: Thank you, Santa.

Santa: Just doing my job as the jolly old man. Now let's get you home.

{At the HQ}

Chica: It's been an hour already, where's Leon?

Dracula: I'm sure he's just doing some last minute searching for that tree. It's Christmas Eve after all.

A knock on the door is heard.

Soldier: I'll get it.

Soldier opens the door and sees Leon at the door.

Soldier: He's here.

Ruby: Leon!

Leon: Hey Rub-*Gets hugged by Ruby* Ruby...boy, you're excited.

Ruby: *Giggle* I am.

Cadwell: Well now, I see that you're Leon. I'm Cadwell, at your service.

Leon: Well I'm back. And I also brought the tree that's outside the yard. Not only that, Santa brought me here.

Yang: Wait, you said THE Santa Claus brought you here?

Leon: Yeah. In fact he's right...here?

He doesn't see Santa at the yard and tires to look around.

Patrick: Hey look, a flying sleigh.

They head outside and see Santa flying on his Christmas sleigh.

Santa: Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Cartoon Universe!

Kang: And a Merry Christmas to you, red alien man!

Leon: See you, Santa!

Spongebob: Hey, look at that.

The gang see the tree Leon had already with Christmas lights, ornaments, and a very bright star on top.

Patrick: Wow!

Blake: It's... beautiful.

Luke: Yeah. It sure is.

Brock: Now that's the kind of Christmas tree I wanna see.

Jar-jar: Oh yes, a big tree itsa is.

The gang head back while some stay to watch the tree glow a bit more. Everyone celebrates the Christmas with laughs, games, and enjoying thier Witch-nog brew.

Deadpool: Damn, this nog is the best!

Lizzy: My specialty, deary.

Leon: Hey Ruby, you have a minute?

Ruby: Oh, yeah.

They both head into thier room and sit in thier bed to talk.

Ruby: So you were right about Santa taking you back here.

Leon: Yeah. And I also wanted to tell you about how special this holiday means for us. That's why I wanted to-

Ruby: Wait. I have something to give you first.

She hands him the gift to open and as he does, he sees that inside is a ring with a kyber crystal on it.

Leon: What's this?

Ruby: It's a special ring that would grant good luck to you as long you have it.

Leon: Thanks. I love it.

Ruby:(Thanks Cadwell) I knew you'd love it.

Leon: Well...the one I have for you is actually for both of us to have.

Ruby: Huh? What is it?

Leon grabs out the turtle doves and hands one to Ruby.

Ruby: Wow, it's... beautiful. How did you get this?

Leon: Santa gave it to me. He said that as long as we have these, no matter where we go, we'll always be together. Forever.

Ruby: Leon....

Ruby starts shedding tears and Leon hugs her and kisses her forehead.

Ruby: This is the best gift I could ever ask for. Thank you.

Leon: Merry Christmas, My rose. I love you.

Ruby: I love you too. And Merry Christmas, my hero.

The couple kiss passionately as the snow falls all throughout Multiverse City. As to all you viewers out there, as I, the author, am riding this sleigh with Santa...

Santa: Ho ho ho.

We wish you a Merry Christmas...

Santa: And a happy New Year.

Me and Santa: And to all a good night. Ho ho ho.

Merry Christmas
