Fred looked at the Callander and saw that it was the first of December.
"Hey guys, it's the first of December, you know what that means," He said.
"It's time to get our tree!" Todd said with excitement.
"I'll get the axe," Lance said.
"I'll find a place where we can get stuff," Pietro said.
"Aren't you guys forgetting we're low on money?" Tabatha asked.
"We don't need money," Pietro said, "all we have to do is choose a tree from the woods and we've got it."
"Cool."
"But it's not easy," Todd said, "we have to deal with a lot of obstacles, luckily they're not too tough."
"Of coarse not, we can take anything," Tabatha bragged.
The Brotherhood drive their jeep over to a forest full of tall pine trees.
"Now to take care of security," Pietro said.
He took out some raw steaks and teased the dogs. Then he ran fast enough to beat the dogs, but the dogs were still able to see him.
"Now that the dogs have been taking care of, it's time to get in," Fred said.
They all entered the forest and started searching for the perfect tree. There were many trees in the forest, all of them were thinking of something to choose. There were all kinds of trees, big ones, small ones, tall ones, short ones.
"Which one do we take?" Tabatha asked.
"The one we that we think is the best," Todd said.
Then Pietro joined up with the group.
"Now that those dogs won't be back in another three hours, we'll have plenty of time to get a tree," Pietro bragged.
Then they all split up to see if they could find a good tree for the house. Fred approached one that was very big and had a sturdy stump.
"Big and burly, just like me," Fred said.
Pietro noticed one that had a long trunk, in fact it was more trunk and had very few needles.
"Perfect," Pietro said, "we can store tons of presents under this one."
Todd noticed one that was slightly crooked, but he didn't mind since nothing was perfect. Tabatha spotted a giant Christmas tree, one that wouldn't fit in their house, but she liked it. Lance searched and found a plain looking tree. It was the average pine tree, nothing out of the ordinary.
"This one is perfect," Lance said.
Then all five of them met by the entrance of the forest to discuss which Christmas tree to get. However, everybody was focused on their own ideas so they weren't able to decide.
"Ok," Lance said, "we'll determine it by rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins, we get to choose his tree."
"Can't we determine it the same way we did last year?" Todd asked.
"No because Tabatha would have a disadvantage," Lance said.
"What did you do last year?" Tabatha asked.
"We wrote our names in the snow," Pietro said.
"And how would I be at a disadvantage?"
"I'll explain later," Pietro said.
Then after two hours of rock-paper-scissors, Pietro won and Lance took the axe over to the tree he chose and cut it down. Then all of them heard some barking.
"Oh great, the dogs are back early," Pietro said.
"Time for our annual Christmas work out," Todd said as they started running.
Pietro ran ahead and opened the gates, luckily for the Brotherhood, the dogs were getting too tired to chase them and the others made it to the gate and closed it.
"Well now that we've got our tree it's time to go home," Lance said.
Then the Brotherhood arrived home with their Christmas tree. Now all they had to do was decorate it. During that time, Todd was checking the tree.
"All right, we got a free ornament," He said as he took a birdhouse out.
"So we get free ornaments too?" Tabatha asked.
"Yeah, practically every tree comes with one," Fred said.
And after that, the Brotherhood decorated their tree with Birdhouses.
