Disclaimer: Hi! Thought I disappeared off the face of the earth, didn't you? Well, no, I was just in a bit of a slump both writing wise and personally, but now I'm back with a new story for all of you. It's my own interpretation of A Muppet Family Christmas. Now, you might say, "Didn't JusSonic just do one?" Yes, but I've had an idea to do this for years now and I thought this year was the year to finally get it written. Plus, I have a larger and slightly different cast of characters taking the roles of the Muppets. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Wild Christmas Surprise

Our story begins in December. The one month of the year where all around the world people begin to celebrate the holidays before the new year comes around. For the people it means presents, family traditions, and being the one time of the year where everyone joins together in peace and brotherhood. One such tradition was happening right now Every year just before several Toon Town citizens head for home for the holiday season, they all have a Christmas party on the first day of winter as their way of celebrating. At this very moment, a pick up truck filled with many of those citizens, who are off to keep the tradition alive.

"Haul out the holly," they sang as they made their way in a pick up truck big enough to fit the whole lot of them, "Put up the tree before my…" The driver, Shaggy Rogers of Mystery Inc, honked the horn before they continued, "…spirit falls again/Fill up the stocking/we may be rushing things/But deck the halls again now/For we need a little Christmas/Right this very minute/Candles in the window/Carols at the spinet/Yes, we need a little Christmas/Right this very minute/It hasn't snowed a single flurry/but Santa, dear, we're in a hurry."

Shaggy had a big smile on his face as he drove through the snow with his pals, "Like, this is the best idea any of us have had in a long time. We're going to spend Christmas up in Velma's old family mountain retreat."

In the passenger seat was Sonic the Hedgehog who nodded in agreement, "Sounds way past cool, Shaggy," but then a thought crossed his mind, "Hey, how come we didn't call her first so she knew we were on our way?"

Scooby-Doo, who was the best pal of Shaggy and a Great Dane no less, explained, "R'aw. R'elma won't mind. She r'oves when we surprise her!"

Donald and Daisy duck were sitting in the middle. Donald was the first to speak, "I say that's a good thing. She's in for the big one," he was right given how many passengers were in the trunk with them.

"I'll say," Daisy nodded.

The Tasmanian devil popped his head from behind, "Surprise! Surprise!"

Sonic and Donald moved back a bit as Taz popped in and then went back to his seat in the trunk. Shaggy began to think out loud, "I know exactly what Velma's doing right now. She'll be right there in the house on top of the hill all bundled up enjoying the fire. Like, Christmas decorations will be all around the house and Velma will be on the armchair reading a book and feeling just a bit lonesome since it's still a few days before her family gets back for the holidays."

Unbeknownst to Shaggy, he was only part correct, for the decorations weren't up in the house, nor was there a fire in the fireplace. As for Velma Dinkley herself, she came out with a suitcase and looked ready to go off on a trip.

"Jinkies! My flight is going to be ready to fly in three hours," Velma said looking at her watch. A grin came upon her face, "Christmas in the Florida keys. Instead of hitting the slopes, I'll hit the beach and collect seashells."

Little did bespectacled young lady know that she was about to have her plans changed as the truck came closer down the road.

Scooby Doo couldn't help but feel excited, "R'is will be the r'iggest surprise of her life!"

With that, everyone sang again to finish the rest of the carol, "Climb down the chimney/hang up the brightest string of…" Shaggy once again honked the car horn, "…lights we've ever seen/slice up the fruitcake/it's time we hung some tinsel on that ever green bough/for we've grown a little leaner/grown a little colder/grown a little sadder/grown a little older/and we need a little angel/sitting on our shoulders/we need a little Christmas now!"

"For we need a little singing/need a little laughter/need a little music ringing through the rafters and we need a little snappy/happy ever after/we neeeed aaaaa liiiiitllllle Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" Everyone laughed and was all happy and chummy. Anyone could tell that they were excited to have the best Christmas party ever.

Snow continued to fall on the ground at the mountain retreat Velma was in. She looked over her bags to make sure she packed all her essentials, "Just a quick check to see if I missed anything. My airline ticket's secure, suntan lotion is there…" Before she could finish, the doorbell rang, "Door's open!"

The front door swung open to reveal two green gentlemen. One was a mustached plumber, the other a dinosaur. That's right, a living breathing dinosaur. The plumber known as Luigi Mario of the famous Mario Bros. greeted Velma in a thick Italian accent, "Hello, is this the Dinkley mountain retreat?"

Velma looked over and saw the two were the guests she was expecting, "Oh, I bet you're the renter who answered the ad I put in the paper. Come in and make yourself at home."

Luigi tipped his hat to her as he introduced himself, "That would be me, yes. I'm-a-Luigi," Luigi got a good look at Velma and seemed a bit confused. She looked a little young to be someone she was renting the retreat from, "I don't suppose you're the landlady."

Velma simply chuckled at the thought, "Well, I'm not the proper owner of the place, but I have been staying here for the past year."

Luigi nodded in understanding the situation. Yoshi, being as young as he was, didn't understand as clearly, "Luigi didn't know about this?"

The green clad plumber just looked down at his reptilian friend, "No, Yoshi. How would I know ahead of time I was renting from a teenager?" Yoshi just shrugged as they went inside. Luigi and Yoshi slipped coming in and nearly lost their balance, "Mama Mia!" Luigi exclaimed.

Velma gave a quick word of caution, "Watch your step coming in. There's a bit of an icy patch," she then gave the two a smile, "I'm happy that someone's going to be able to make sure this place stays in one piece."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all," Luigi reassured as he closed the door behind him, "Yoshi and I…Yoshi is the name of this little guy here," He patted Yoshi on his head as if he were a dog, which was fitting because Yoshi's tended to act like dogs. Instead of barking, Yoshi gave his usual noises that sounded like turntable scratches almost. Luigi continued, "The two of us are glad to have a place all to ourselves. My brother is off on a ski trip with our friend the princess this season, so we decided to spend a nice quiet Christmas up in the country side away from the holiday rush of the big city."

"You couldn't have asked for a better place to have it," Velma pointed to where the stairwell was, "You can drop your luggage off in any of the bedrooms upstairs."

"Thanks!" Luigi said politely as he and Yoshi went up the stairs.

Yes, it seemed each bit of Velma's planned vacation was going along fine. Everything was packed, the weather was bearable enough that she wouldn't have to worry about traffic in the snow; she remembered everything she packed, and had someone looking after her house. All systems seemed to be ago for her vacation spending fun in the sun during the holidays, and really, who could blame her? If it weren't for traditions and presents, I'm sure anyone who lived where it snowed often would want to go to a warmer location away from the freezing cold. Yet, all that came to a halt as soon as the doorbell rang a second time.

Velma was perplexed at who could be at the door, "Strange. I wasn't expecting more company."

When the door opened, Shaggy yelled, "Surprise!"

Scooby then added, "Merry Christmas!"

Velma gasped startled that two of her old Mystery Inc. friends showed up, "Shaggy, Scooby!"

Scooby-Doo licked Velma's face and Shaggy gave his friend a warm embrace, "Velma! It's groovy to see you again."

Velma pulled out of the hug and smiled at the boy and his dog, "It's been too long, you guys. This IS a surprise."

It wasn't over yet though as Shaggy quickly explained, "Like, if you're surprised now, wait until you hear this."

Scooby chimed in saying, "R'e brought all our friends with us!"

This was a little more for Velma to handle, "What!?"

Everyone came running into the house almost like a stampede. If one didn't know better, they'd say it was like holiday rush at a shopping mall.

Sonic was the first to enter shouting, "Merry Christmas!" just before slipping and falling.

"Try stepping over the icy patch," Velma warned everyone as they came in.

"Come on in, guys!" Shaggy said ushering in everyone.

Some didn't heed the warning of the icy patch and more slipped, such as Homer Simpson, "D'oh!"

Then it was Timmy Turner, "Yikes!"

Next was Inspector Gadget, "Wowsers!"

He was followed by Goofy, "Wow whoa!"

Donald Duck slipped as well letting out his loud squawk before greeting Velma, "Hi ya, toots!" and kissing her on the hand.

"Toots?" Velma asked. She never had someone say that to her before, much less by a duck.

"R'aren't you happy to see r'all of r'us?" Scooby asked a still taken aback Velma.

"I don't know what to say," Velma responded speechless.

"Oh, Miss Dinkley!" called a familiar voice. It was Luigi who had just come back downstairs with Yoshi when he heard all the noise. The Mushroom Kingdom native was certainly not at all happy by this turn of events, "Aren't you forgetting something? Like, I don't know, the fact I rented this house to have a quiet Christmas? Not an ANIMAL HOUSE!"

The Tasmanian devil started going upstairs while declaring, "Peace on Earth! Now where can Taz find presents?" Yoshi started to growl and bark at the devil, causing him to yelp, "Ah!" and run off the stairs.

Luigi grabbed Yoshi's saddle to hold him back, "Yoshi, don't antagonize them! They could all be from another planet for all we know!"

Velma reassured him that wasn't the case, "Not really. Most of them are from television. I recognize a lot of Shaggy and Scooby's friends."

Schroeder of the Peanuts gang mentioned as he passed by, "And don't you forget it."

Garfield Cat looked around sniffing for food, "Hey, where are the snacks around here? We can't have this Christmas party without snacks."

Luigi whispered in Yoshi's ear (or lack there of), "Quick question, buddy. Do any of them look like those apes you thought you spotted back when we visited the jungle?"

Yoshi looked over everyone and replied, "No one have ape scent."

While everyone talked and made themselves comfy, Shaggy brought Sonic over to introduce him, "This way. Hey, Velma, I have someone here I want you to meet. This guy is a hero, a friend, an inspiration…."

"Aw, go on," Sonic brushed. Even though it was true, he arrogantly hams up all the compliments he gets.

Shaggy continued, "…The one they call the fastest thing alive, Sonic."

Velma quickly recognized the little blue guy, sort of, "Oh right. He's the blue rodent."

Shaggy put his hand over his head a bit embarrassed at his friend calling him that. Sonic on the other hand didn't think much too much of it, though it was odd for someone to call him that other than his archenemy, Dr. Eggman.

"I'm a hedgehog to be specific," Sonic told her, "Listen, Miss Dinkley, I'm aware that a lot of us are here, and we weren't sure if this would be big enough to have the annual Christmas party at."

"I forgot all about the annual toon town Christmas party!" Velma thought to herself, "Well, I'd have to trade in my plane ticket, but at least it's only for one night. I can catch the next flight after everyone leaves. Besides, it was sweet of Shaggy and Scooby to think this up, so why not?" She came out of her thought so she could speak to Sonic, "Don't worry about a thing. I have enough room for everyone."

"I beg your pardon!" Luigi glared offended, "You said to me that I could have a nice quiet Christmas up here!"

"You're not the only one who's disappointed!" Velma called back, "After three months of surfing lessons, I'll have to delay trying them for the first time!"

The telephone then rang, causing the Tasmanian devil to pop up nearly scaring Velma, "Telephone!" he spun in a mini cyclone over to the phone that was ringing.

Sonic calmed Velma down, "That was Taz. He's with us, it's okay."

Taz picked up the phone and yelled into it like a kid on sugar, "Hello! Where can Taz find presents?"

"Can you put Sonic on, please?" asked the voice from the other end.

Taz looked at the phone distraught and called out to Sonic, "Sonic, phone call! Pink hedgehog," with that he dropped the receiver and walked away.

Sonic picked up the receiver, not a scratch on it thank goodness and talked, "Hello? Amy Rose?"

Indeed, the caller was none other than Amy Rose. The pink hedgehog who was one of Sonic's best friends, not mention she had the biggest crush on Sonic. Right now she was wearing a red ballroom dress like a movie star (think the dress she wore in one episode of Sonic X) and was in the middle of something while she was on the phone, "Sonic, how's my favorite guy?"

As Sonic talked, Amy did a couple of poses as a camera took her picture, "I'm fine, Amy. Thanks for asking. Where are you anyway? I thought you were supposed be with us going up to the mountain retreat."

"Yeah, I remember, Sonic," Amy said regretfully, "But before that I had a small photo session I managed to fit in to my schedule."

"Okay, now a pose over the shoulder, sweetheart," instructed the photographer. Amy was doing some pretty good poses despite having the phone in her hand, "Alright, one, two, three," the photographer counted down before flashing another picture.

Sonic was in disbelief about this. One would think he'd be used to Amy's antics by now, "You'll have to hurry with that if you want to make it in time for the party."

Amy spoke sincerely back to him, "No need to worry my handsome midnight blue."

She did another pose and the photographer gave compliments on the picture, "That was a good one, won't change a thing."

"Thanks," Amy smiled. She resumed talking to Sonic, "I have a ride right outside ready to fly me right into your loving arms at the retreat."

She laughed a bit doing another picture, "That dress you have is very beautiful," the photographer said after the flash.

Amy had to cut this short if she wanted to get this done in time, "As you can tell, I'm busy, but I'll be over soon, Sonic. See you later."

Sonic raised his eyebrows a bit at the busy comment. Sounds like the pictures are going to be great, "Alright, goodbye."

"Kisses, bye, bye!" Amy then hung up and put her leg up to do a pose like the rockettes.

The photographer took the picture and then said, "Oh, do that pout you showed me earlier!"

Amy knew what he was talking about, "Oh, yes!"

"Do those pouts from earlier. One, two, three," he flashed the camera as Amy did that cute little pout face, "Perfect!"

Sonic hung up the phone and watched as his friends went around the house. Some of the kids were bouncing up and down on one leg from the long ride.

"Where's the bathroom around here?" exclaimed Otto Rocket. His friend Twister was having trouble holding it much longer.

"I, too, could use a clean toilet," added Filburt, a turtle who came as a guest of Rocko, a wallaby from the city of O-town.

Velma pointed upstairs and to the cellar, "There's one upstairs and another in the basement. Both have showers."

Numbah four of the Kids Next Door sighed, "We need to learn not to drink so much hot chocolate on these winter trips."

Velma then led everyone to the bedrooms, "The rest of the bedrooms are upstairs, everyone."

Luigi tried his best to plead against it, "But those were supposed be our bedrooms since we rented this building!" the doorbell rang and Luigi groaned, "You mean there's more?"

Velma cupped her hand to her mouth so Shaggy could hear her amongst the chit chat of the others, "Shaggy, go see who's at the door."

"Already done, Velma," Shaggy responded.

Velma turned her attention back to the guests, "Be careful unpacking. I don't want a mess."

Shaggy opened the door and smiled at who he saw, "Like, it's Elmer Fudd!"

The hunter of the famous Looney Tunes gang, wearing a chef's hat and cooks clothing greeted the boy, "Mewwy Chwistmas!" he gave his signature laugh before the inevitable slip, "Whoa!" the pan and cooking utensils he was carrying, flew into the air and clunked back down.

Shaggy pointed to where Elmer slipped as Elmer got up, "Should warn you about that icy patch down there."

Elmer nodded, "Wight. If you'we wondewing why I'm hewe, I got a nice delicious woast duck to cook."

Shaggy quickly knew what that meant, "I get it. You found a duck we can have for the party dinner tonight. I'll show you to the kitchen."

Donald came downstairs, now in his usual sailor suit, watching Elmer and Shaggy pass by singing "Good King Wenceslas". Donald took a look around, "Now where did Daisy go? This holiday party isn't complete for me without her," His thoughts were interrupted by another ring of the doorbell, "I'll get it!" he shouted so no one else had to worry, "Who is it?"

Donald was surprised to see who it was; another duck like him only black feathered and looked like he was packed to go somewhere, "That would be me, Buster."

Donald felt nervous knowing Daffy was here when he just saw Elmer in chef's clothes, "You're a wild duck!"

"That's Daffy, Daffy Duck," the black duck corrected.

Donald sounded rushed all of a sudden, "Come outside. I need to talk to you in private."

In the kitchen, Elmer noticed it was crowded with babies and the Smurfs, "What are all these Smuwfs and Wugwats doing in the kitchen?"

Shaggy reminded, "You know the Smurfs and Rugrats. They always come along with us."

Angelica tugged on Shaggy's pants to get his attention, "Shaggy, we all want some chocolate pudding."

Outside, Donald was trying to persuade Daffy away from the house, "You couldn't have a worse time to be here. You need to make tracks. Go fly south for the winter or something."

Daffy however wasn't convinced, "Just a minute, bud, I was invited to this party by courtesy of the bald man."

Donald felt frustrated that Daffy would hear none of it, "This is very exasperating."

Daffy described, "He had a chef's hat on. If you ask me, I signed up for a sweet deal of a vacation."

Donald put his hand on Daffy's shoulder ready to dish out the hard sell, "That's because that guy IS our chef. It might be alright for a duck like me, but it won't be safe for a duck like you."

"Well, I'm not like other ducks. I'm a survivor," Daffy pressed his thumb on Donald's beak and when he let go, the beak flickered up and down uncontrollably, "So where do I sleep?"

Donald held on to his beak to make it stop wiggling so he could talk, "If you don't remember what I said, it'll be the oven."

Daffy heard enough by now and walked away, "Later, Sailor."

Donald watched him go back into the house and gave him one last subliminal message, "See you during dinner!" it might be in more ways than one.

Elmer couldn't stand it anymore in the kitchen. He'll have a hard time working with these kids and little blue people taking up a lot of the room. If it weren't for the fact it was the holidays, he'd grab his hunting rifle and shoo everybody off.

Sonic came in to see what the fuss was about, "Hey, Shaggy, what's the ruckus?"

Sonic's best pal, Miles Prower, AKA Tails came into the room as Shaggy explained, "Sonic, Mr. Fudd seems upset because of all the Smurfs and Rugrats in his cooking area."

"Why not send them to their bedrooms in the meantime then?" Sonic suggested.

Elmer thought it was a good idea and ushered them out, "Okay, evewyone, up to their bunks for now!"

Shaggy helped out, "Like, come on kids."

Papa Smurf instructed the Smurfs out of the room, "You heard them! Up to the bedrooms, everyone, let's go!"

Sonic handed the kids their pudding and spoons before he left, "There you go, kids," he wiped his forehead clean now with everyone out, "Phew! Mission accomplished."

"I noticed that there are really a lot of us here," Tails pointed out.

"The entire Toon Town family is joining together tonight," Sonic said to his "little bro".

"It is tradition for us to all get together to celebrate Christmas," smiled Tails.

"I may never stop running, but once in awhile I like to slow things down for times like now so life doesn't pass me by," true that Sonic was always running around the world free spirited, but he always took time out when it came to those close to him.

Tails nodded and began to sing a carol, "Dashing through the snow/in a one horse open sleigh/through the fields we go/laughing all the way/"

Sonic sang the next verse, joining in, "Bells in bob tails ring/making spirits bright/what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight/"

Next was Tails' turn, "Jingle bells/jingle bells/jingled all the way/"

Followed by Sonic again, "Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh."

He put his hand over Tails' shoulder as they sang at the same time, "Jingle bells/Jingle Bells/jingled all the way/Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh."

Tails then began the next verse, "A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride/and soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side/"

Sonic picked it right up, "The horse was lean and lank/misfortune seemed his lot/we got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot/"

The two sang together once more, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingled all the way/oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh/Jingle bells, jingle bells/jingled all the way/oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh/"

There singing got quickly came to a close as a loud electric guitar started playing. The Peanuts gang all got build up a stage and instruments so they could do a small performance. The Tasmanian devil joined them on the drums while Snoopy played bass, Charlie Brown on guitar, Schroeder on keyboard, Sally on tambourine, with Linus and Lucy on chorus vocals.

The brother sister duo sang, "Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell rock/jingle bell swing and jingle bell ring/"

Schroeder sang a bit, "Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun/"

Leading to Linus and Lucy again, "Now the jingle hop has begun/"

Charlie Brown took a verse, "Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock/jingle bells chime and jingle bell time/dancing and prancing in jingle bells square/in the frosty air/"

Then Sally sung, "What a bright time/it's the right time to rock the night away/" As Sally sang, Sonic and Tails danced to the music, not minding the kids taking up the caroling now as they knew how to rock, "Jingle bell time/it's a swell time to go gliding in a one horse sleigh/"

It went back to Charlie Brown, "Giddy-up jingle horse/pick up your feet/jingle around the clock/"

Schroeder sang with him, "Mix and mingle in a jingling beat/that's the jingle bell rock/"

Arnold, the boy with the football shaped head, did the solo on his harmonica. Once it was done, everyone sang.

"What a bright time/it's the right time to rock the night away/jingle bell time/it's a swell time to go gliding in a one horse sleigh," the music changed tempo for the big finish, "Giddy-up jingle horse/pick up your feet/jingle around the clock/mix and mingle in a jingling beat/"

"That's the jingle bell," first went Charlie Brown

"That's the jingle bell," sang Sally second.

"That's the jingle bell," sang Schroeder playing his keyboard up a bit more.

All together the kids finished, "That's the jingle bell rooooooooooooooock!"

The music stopped for a second leading the Tasmanian devil to say, "That's a jingle bell rock!" The whole band finished up and the ones who watched the performance applauded.

Sometime later, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo were building an old fashioned snowman while the Animaniacs were looking around for a Christmas tree they could bring inside so they could decorate.

Slappy the Squirrel looked at you, the readers, to say, "Be thankful this is the first day of winter and not Christmas Eve. Seriously, who waits until the last minute to get the tree?"

Her nephew, Skippy chimed in, "People who got lost in all the present shopping probably."

The Goofeathers searched from the sky and Pesto pointed one out, "Hey, that one wouldn't be so bad."

Squint nodded in a agreement, "You sure got a good eye, Pesto."

"What did you say?" Pesto asked feeling offended by that.

"I said you had a good eye," Squint reiterated, though a bit more nervous this time.

Pesto got in Squints face about it, "Are you saying that my other eye is bad? That I have Lazy eye? I should wear an eye patch over one of them like a pirate here to amuse you? Is THAT what you're saying?"

"No, no, I'm not saying that!" Squint protested.

Bobby knew what was coming and decided to stop it before it began, "Cut it out, both of you's. Let's just get a tree before I freeze my tail feathers off."

The two dogs, Buttons and Runt sniffed one tree and got a good whiff of the pine smell as well as how adequate it would be for the house and decorating.

"What do you make if it, Runt?" asked Rita the cat.

"It's a good tree for decorating. Definitely, definitely a good tree," Runt answered.

Minerva Mink looked it over with a smile, "I should say so. It looks cute enough to have itself covered in lights," The tree, now with eyeballs and a mouth, had those same eyeballs bug out and then it fell without being cut. Minerva looked perplexed at what just happened, "Was it something I said?"

"Like, that's going to be one great Christmas tree," Shaggy admired, "Bring it right inside, guys."

The Animaniacs picked it up all together and little Mindy giggled at Shaggy, "Okay, I love you, bye, bye!"

A sound of someone out of breath was heard and out from the woods, carrying presents, came one of the oddest looking creatures one had ever seen. It was a cat and a dog who shared the same body! How such a thing came about, no one knows, but needless to say, it wasn't easy sharing things with another person, much less your body, or of a different species for that matter. Nevertheless, they were here to have a good time since Christmas was their holiday as well.

"Shaggy, we made it! Finally!" panted the cat part of the body.

Shaggy greeted the two headed creature, "CatDog, what's up? You guys are a bit late."

"We had to chase the truck all the way here. Let's just we're exhausted," joked the dog half.

Scooby-Doo's signature laugh came out from such a joke, "R'I got it, truck, and exhaust."

"It's an old dog joke," mentioned Cat.

Scooby-Doo pointed to the house, "Go r'inside and tell that to R'elma. She'll love it!"

"Will do," Dog said before the two headed in so they could also warm up a bit.

Shaggy called out to them, "Like, she loves canine humor," he then looked back at Scooby, "She'd have to after years of hanging with you," Scooby just laughed.

The Animaniacs got the tree inside after a little trouble getting it up the stairs. Slappy asked, "Hey, Velma, where do you want the tree? We have to drop it soon before my back goes out."

Velma motioned over to the other side of the windows, "Over there in the corner," she was hanging up decorations with a reluctant Luigi, who decided he didn't have much of a choice. He might as well join in the festivities, "That's it, Luigi. All the holly goes around the house."

CatDog made their way into the house with Dog being the first to speak, "Oh, Miss Dinkley!" Velma turned her attention to the door, "We were chasing the truck and you can say that we're…" before he could finish, Dog slipped and his presents went up in the air, making Cat scatter around to catch them.

"Jinkies!" gasped Velma, "Shaggy must have forgotten to warn you about the icy patch."

"Well, no harm done," Cat said while looking over presents to make sure nothing was broken, "My name is Cat, and this is Dog. We came for the party tonight."

Luigi complained, "Even more people?"

Velma put down the holly and went to check something, "I'm pretty sure there are a couple extra pillows in the kennel."

Yoshi passed by Velma and caught sight of Dog. The he barked excitedly and Dog barked back, the two of them getting into a conversation of canines.

Luigi couldn't help but chuckle and be amused, "Times like these you wish you could know the language. I should know since I speak Italian."

Something caught Cat's eye on the other side of the stairs, "Well, get a load of this!" he and Dog walked over to an old piano, "Let's see if the old fingers still have it," Cat cracked his knuckles and started playing the song "Sleigh Ride".

"Wow! That piano needs a tune up!" Dog said out loud. He then whispered to Yoshi, "Not that I mind out of tune pianos."

Coincidentally, Shaggy and Scooby were singing the lyrics to Sleigh Ride outside themselves. Shaggy began, "Just hear those sleigh bells Ringling/ting ting tingling, too/Out here it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you/"

Scooby took up the next line, "Out here the snow is falling an friends are calling Roo-hoo/out her it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you/"

Shaggy put some more snow on the snowman as he sang, "Giddy-yap, Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's go/Let's look at the snow/we're riding in a wonderful land of snow."

Scooby put additional snow on as well while he sung, "Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, r'it's grand/just r'olding your hand/we're gliding a'rong with the song of a wintry fairy land/"

At the moment Scooby finished that verse, the snowman they were building sprang to life and began to sing along, "Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we/we're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be/"

Shaggy and Scooby couldn't believe there eyes. Shaggy exclaimed, "Wow Wee!"

The boy and dog decided to sing along with the snowman together, "Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two/come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you."

The snowman tipped his derby hat and introduced himself, "Oh, please, call me Sam." (From Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer)

"Like you have good harmony, Mr. Snowman," Shaggy complimented.

"I'm a s-new man to be precise," Sam pointed out.

Scooby was confused, "R'hat's a s-new man?"

Sam quipped with a joke, "Nothing s-new man, what s-new with you?"

The animals nearby, which included Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo, laughed like an audience at a stage show.

Sam picked back up on the singing, "There's a birthday party at the home of farmer Grey."

"It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day," sang Shaggy.

Scooby put his paw around Sam and they sang at the same time, "We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop/at the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop."

"Pop!" exclaimed Buster Bunny. The rest of the Tiny Toons gang popped in saying Pop as well.

"In all seriousness boys, what's your opinion on the weather?" Sam asked.

Shaggy answered, "It's, like, so cold that when I opened the fridge, a polar bear was in it trying to stay warm."

The Tiny Toons laughed the little routine the trio was putting on. Luigi and Yoshi were outside and were also enjoying the "show", laughing along.

Sam added, "Well, it's always cold during Christmas."

Scooby sighed, "Christmas, time for R'anta Claus and his r'eight rein dare."

"You mean reindeer," Corrected Sam.

"No," Scooby disagreed. He threw some light snow into the air, "R'I mean snow, darling!"

The Animaniacs cast came back out to sing the rest of the song with Shaggy, Scooby and the Snowman, "There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy/when they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie/it'll nearly by like a picture print by Currier and Ives/These wonderful things are things we remember all through our lives/Out here the snow is falling and friends are calling Yoo-hoo/"

Buster Bunny added, "Yoo-hoo!"

"Yoo-hoo!" included the other Tiny Toons.

Scooby and his "chorus" finished up, "Out here it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The Tiny Toons clapped their hands and cheered the performance. Buster Bunny gave his kudos, "You're the funniest trio I've seen in a long time!"

Scooby raised his eyes at that comment, "Really?"

Shaggy heard it to and said to Sam the snowman, "Don't go anywhere!" he and Scooby then ran back inside, "Sonic!"

"R'onic?" Scooby called.

"Sonic?" Shaggy called a second time before slipping on the icy patch, "Zoinks!" he groaned as he got back.

"R'onic?" yelled Scooby, "Where are you?"

Sonic voice came from the other room, "I'm in the kitchen, Scooby-Doo!"

The duo excitedly headed over. Shaggy yelped, "You'll never guess what happened!"

Sonic was watching some of the big meal eating guests they had along taking things out of the refrigerator.

Fred Flinstone had a big plate with some ribs and a drink, "Now to see what's on TV. Besides Christmas specials that is," he chuckled.

Shaggy and Scooby finally came up to Sonic, out of breath, "Sonic, okay, you have to hear about someone we found. He's hilarious!"

"What is it? Let's hear it," Sonic told him interested.

"Scoob and I were building a snowman," Shaggy started.

Unfortunately, Sonic heard the telephone ring, so Shaggy's story had to wait, "Hold that thought."

Scooby tried to stop Sonic, "R'ait! Shaggy didn't finish," but it was to no avail.

Sonic picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"R'aw!" Sonic sighed disappointed.

"Dinkley retreat, Sonic the Hedgehog speaking," Sonic paused for a minute to listen to who it was, "Oh, Amy! What's up?"

This time, Amy Rose was calling from a store, "Hey, Sonic. It's me again. I just wanted to let you know I'm doing some last minute shopping before I get up to the retreat."

Sonic rolled his eyes, "Come on, Amy. The party is tonight, and knowing how it can get at the store, you could be in there a long time."

Amy just giggled, "Now, you don't have to fret, cutie. I'll be there as soon as I'm done. Promise," She hung up the phone and then saw the clerk bring up footwear that she intended to give Sonic, "Oh, white shoes with the red stripe instead," she thought it was cute, "So nice. Sure he won't mind a small change."

Back at the house, Sonic shook his head in disbelief. Amy sure was taking her sweet time getting here. Was he worried though? Not really. She just said she'd promise to be there as soon as she was done. Plus, it wasn't in Sonic's nature to worry too much. He trusts Amy and knows her well enough to take her word for it.

Shaggy tried getting Sonics attention back, "Sonic, now can Scooby and I tell you what we found?"

Sonic gave his approval, "No problemo," until they all heard growling in the other room, "What's all that about?" Sonic wondered as he left the room.

"No problemo?" Scooby asked Shaggy.

"I didn't know he could speak Spanish either," Shaggy laughed.

The growling was coming from Yoshi, who was behind a chair that was being hit with a spoon by Elmer Fudd.

Luigi explained to the bald hunter, "I know the fact he's a dinosaur is not believable, but trust me when I say Yoshi's not a Christmas duck!"

Elmer argued with the younger Mario Brother, "The black duck said this one was a distant wewative of bird!"

Luigi tried to set things right, "I don't care if the duck said the dinosaur was another duck. Yoshi's no bird, but that black duck is, and you're a quack!" he removed the chair and took Yoshi with him, "Come on, kid."

Elmer realized he made a mistake, and what's worse, he had been tricked! Now he was mad, "Oooooh! I'll get that duck if it's the wast thing I do!"

Daffy walked in as soon as all the chaos was over and laughed, "Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo! This party is really starting to define fun."

That should be a good place to end for now. I hope you all enjoyed my cast of characters so far. If you haven't seen your favorite cartoon yet, you'll probably see it in the next set of chapters, if not, well, I couldn't fit everybody. I'll be back again sometime in the next few days with chapter two and I hope to have this whole thing up by Christmas morning. I will get back to my Kingdom Hearts story when I'm finished with this story, so until next time, have a good week and if it's snowing where you are, hope you're warm. See you later.
