So. There are a lot of ideas that are meant to be written but never are. Sometimes I have plans written out for those scenes. Other times there are some extra chapters. Those will all be posted here!

I felt like extra chapters might make stories seem a little cluttered and such, so I've decided to from now on put them here.

IF I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TAKE IT DOWN AND PUT THE EXTRA CHAPTERS IN THEIR STORIES.

I've had the brilliant idea of clashing the four main characters of A Different Dark with those of Nexus.

Yeah. So. Austin ends up explaining the Grinch and the Maccabe story, there is teleportation, snowballs are thrown, Jaeson almost smiles, etc. It's a fun time!

*There is an Austin in both stories, but they're essentially the same pokemon. So yes.

ENJOY!

Austin, Jaeson, Jay, Destiny, and Lily (all in their pokemon forms) were all standing atop Jaeson and Destiny's building. There was a two-foot covering of snowflakes on the roof, and more were on their way down.

Austin, used to the cold since he was a lucario and they usually live in mountains, wore a scarf and a hat. (Lily made him.) Lily was used to the cold at high altitudes and wore a scarf. (Austin made her.) Jay with his short fur was made (by everybody, most notably Lily) to wear a sweater and a scarf and a hat. He didn't mind too much, though. Jaeson wore a jacket, too, and a hat. (He actually admitted to being cold. And Destiny prodded him. Destiny (not an arceus but another mew) was in the same get-up as Jay was. (She thought she'd be cold.)

Austin crouched down and balled up some snow. He stood and chucked it at Jaeson.

The white ball exploded on the arm of Jaeson's jacket. He looked at Austin and demanded (a little angrily), "What was that for?"

"Have you never heard of a snowball fight?" Austin asked, crossing his arms.

"No. Why would anyone do something so stupid?" Jaeson asked.

Austin sweat-dropped. "Thanks. And because it's fun!"

"I don't see how that's fun," Jaeson muttered.

"Guys! Jaeson has no Christmas spirit!" Austin called to everyone else.

Destiny frowned. "He's not Christian."

"Obviously, Christmas is not really a religious holiday but a cultural one, hence the Hanukkah bush," Austin said.

"Where did that come from?" Lily asked.

Austin shrugged. "My family was Jewish."

"Mine was Christian," Jay stuck in.

"Mine used to celebrate everything," Lily said. She thought for a moment. "So, yeah, I guess that's true."

"Yay! I'm sma- BLAH!" Austin yelped and ducked as a ball of snow raced past him. Since Austin had ducked, it hit Lily.

"Oh, it's on now, Jaeson!" Lily yelled playfully. She swooped down and got some snow.

"So you do understand what's so fun about it!" Austin said, pointing at the purple pokemon.

"Not entirely," Jaeson decided. He smirked and picked up some snow. "But I'm learning."

"I'm in!" Destiny yelled and threw some snow at Jay. He laughed and returned the favor.

For awhile they played. Suddenly Austin stopped mid-throw and said, "I just got the weirdest auric feeling."

"What kind of feeling?" Destiny asked.

"I don't-" Austin began when something black crash-landed on top of him.

"AAAAAAAH!" someone screamed.

Jaeson held out a hand and an espeon flew down. She almost hit the ground when Jaeson's power took effect.

"HELP!" someone else yelled. Jay held out both paws and a vaporeon landed with an "umph" in his arms.

"I'M GOING TO MISS THE EDGE!" yet another someone shouted. Lily flew over and caught the oshawott just in time.

For a minute everyone was silent in their shock. (Except Jaeson. This didn't really surprise him since he knew the thoughts of his author so well. ("You little spyer, Jaeson! Stop invading my head!" RL7 shouted. Would he listen? Probably not.))

"Uuh, guys, what's on top of me?" Austin wondered.

"Hm?" Dark, the umbreon, woke up suddenly. "Oh, sorry," he said as he realized he was lying on top of the lucario. He padded off Austin and Austin stood up.

"DARK WHAT THE HELL?" Carry yelled, her legs flailing around. "Where are we and why am I floating?"

"My powers," Jaeson explained calmly. He released her and she landed on her feet.

"Thank you," Heather, the vaporeon, said to Jay. He put her down.

"My pleasure," he nodded.

"You're the latias!" the oshawott, Jared, said. "Hi again!"

"We've met?" Lily wondered.

"AH! Dark, you'll faint again!" Carry yelled.

"What?" Austin asked, his eyebrows knitting together and face scrunching a little in confusion.

No one answered. Everyone was silent once more.

"No, I don't think I will," Dark decided.

"Wait a minute! We're surrounded by legends!" Jared realized with a gasp. "Except you," he said upon seeing Austin.

Austin sweat-dropped again. "Why is everyone downing on me today?"

"Who are you four?" Jaeson asked.

"Who are you-" Carry stopped to count them- "five?"

"I don't like you," Jaeson decided, crossing his arms.

"Way to be blunt, Jaeson," Austin stuck into the conversation.

"I think she's kind of like Austin," Jay said.

"What? You think I'm a flailing cat!?" Austin demanded.

"Hey! I'm not a flailing cat!" Carry yelled, then reconsidered. "Okay, maybe I am."

"Austin, you're more like a flailing wolf," Jaeson decided.

"I agree," Destiny decided.

"See? Everybody is downing on me today!" Austin exclaimed.

"Hey! On me, too!" Carry said.

"Back to the point," Jaeson said, "I am Jaeson. That's Jay, Destiny, Lily, and the flailing wolf is Austin."

"You suck," Austin muttered. Jaeson smirked at him for a moment.

"I'm Dark, that's Heather, Jared, and the flailing cat is Carry," the umbreon said, walking up to Jaeson. He appeared fairly sane to the moon cat, unlike the Austin character over there.

Carry put on an annoyed face and clicked out her claws.

Austin, seeing Carry's claws, realized something. "Ah! I don't have claws in this life!" Austin gasped, staring at his paws. "WHAT IS THIS?"

"Austin, remember how you can summon them since you're a morph?" Lily asked.

"Oh, right," Austin said with a sheepish grin. "I knew that!" He clicked out a white set of claws.

"Copy-cat!" Carry decided.

"Copy-wolf," Jaeson and Dark corrected at once.

"F$%k you guys," Austin said, sweat-dropping once more.

Meanwhile, while those four bickered, Lily and Jared were having an intelligent conversation.

"So why did she think the umbreon was going to faint?" Lily asked Jared.

"That's what usually happens. They're giving Dark his memories back," Jared explained.

Lily wondered, "When did we take them?"

"I think we aren't from your world," Jared decided. "I heard him say 'morph.' What is that?"

"A morph is a pokemon that can turn into a human or vice versa," Lily explained.

"Humans still exist?" Jared gasped.

"Yeah. We're from different worlds all right," Lily agreed.

"I wonder how we're going to get back," Jared said.

Heather had began to talk to Jay and Destiny a few moments ago. Now Heather, hearing Jared's question, gasped.

"How ARE we going to get back?" Heather demanded.

"That's a good question," Dark said from the other side of the room. The three groups all walked towards each other and formed a circle in the middle of the buidling.

"Well, we could- AAAAH!" Destiny began, but the scene suddenly changed.

Now they were outside a snow-covered guild.

"Where are we?" Jay wondered calmly.

Austin's jaw dropped. He gasped, "Guys! Are we dreaming?"

"It wouldn't surprise me," Jaeson muttered. "After all, this is very irrational."

Austin pinched himself. "OW! No, not dreaming."

"We're home! Yay!" Carry shouted gleefully. She noticed that Austin and co had followed them home. "Damn. Now we have to figure out how to get you five back."

"This is strange," Jay said, frowning. "I wonder what's going on."

"Might as well enjoy it or something," Jaeson said.

Austin gasped. "You're not Jaeson, you have holiday spirit! Who are you and what have you done with my friend?"

Jaeson sighed. "Shut up."

Reconsidering, Austin said, "Or maybe you are Jaeson."

Destiny snorted and turned to Dark and co. "Ignore him. He's ridiculous."

"I had no idea," Carry said sarcastically.

"Just curiously, why are you purple?" Austin asked Heather.

"Because she's full of holiday spirit," Jaeson muttered to himself. He'd had his arms crossed the entire time. He could tell Austin was very much enjoying this. He was not.

"Firstly, JAY! Something is very wrong with Jaeson," Austin declared. "Secondly, I'm fairly certain that's not the reason."

"I'm shiny," Heather explained.

Austin looked confused. "Sure?"

"It's a biological thing that changes some pokemon's colors," Destiny explained.

"Oh," Austin said. "Okay."

"What's wrong with the mewtwo?" Jared asked.

Jaeson heaved a loud sigh.

Austin ignored it and said, "I would say he's the Grinch, but A. he hasn't ruined any holiday, B. "grin" is in "grinch" and grin he does not, and C. since there aren't humans here you probably don't have a clue who he is."

"I remember him," Carry said.

"Sounds familiar," Dark said after a moment. "Oh, yeah! The green guy."

"Huh?" Jared said. Heather just sighed. Yet another human refrence she didn't get.

"Um, let's trade stories," Austin suggested. "You tell me how you know who he is and I'll tell these two the story."

"Why not?" Carry decided. "You first."

"Okay, story time, folks," Austin said merrily. Lily and Jay smiled, knowing Austin of all beings could make this interesting. Jaeson heaved another sigh and Destiny grew intreguied. "So. A long time ago in a land far away there was this green-looking thing. He was kind of like a human (bipedal) but not really. He was all lonely and-"

"And his heart was two times as small," Lily reminded her husband.

"Yeah, that's right! (I forgot about that.) And he was all jealous when Christmas came around and all the little midget towny people sang songs and celebrated and hacked down trees to move into their houses," Austin continued.

"Why would they do that?" Heather asked.

"It's a human tradition," Lily explained.

"Humans are weird," Heather mumbled. Jared nodded.

"Anyway," Austin said. "One December twenty-fifth-"

"December what?" Jared asked.

"The date of Christmas," Destiny said.

"-the Grinch decided to ruin their Christmas," Austin said dramatically, clenching a fist and closing his eyes in sadness as he said "ruin."

"Oh no!" Jay exclaimed, slapping his cheeks in fake alarm. "Not the little midget towny people Christmas!" He could barely contain his laughter. Lily, Heather, and Destiny giggled freely. Jaeson even almost cracked a smile. Jared listened intently, very curious. Dark and Carry closed their eyes, remembering the movie from their childhoods.

"So he had this great idea to dress up as Santa Claus and run around and steal the trees and crap," Austin said. "He had this little dog. He roped a big stick onto the poor thing's head and tied it to a sleigh. He also sewed up a red shirt and hat and things."

"What next?" Jared asked intently and excitedly. He was like a little kid opening a present.

"He somehow aquired several bags and piled them onto the sleigh, then sat atop it himself and yelled at his dog until he started moving. Slowly they went down their mountain and into the little midget town. Then the Grinch started raiding the houses, taking all the decorations from the houses and the presents from under the trees."

"Eventually he made it to the tiny little house of tiny little dwarf Cindy. The grinch started to take her tree and presents and shmutz-"

"Shmutz?" Lily questioned.

"It's a Yiddish word that means 'stuff,'" Austin explained. "It's a Jewish word, in other words. You forget I grew up in a Jewish household."

"Did he take all of her little presents?" Jared demanded, wide-eyed with suspence.

"He started to. Little Cindy came out and said in her miniscule voice, 'Why are you taking my tree, Santy Claus?'" Austin played her voice as fluffy and high-pitched. "And the grinch is like, 'I'm gonna go fix it!' And she belives him and goes to bed and whatever. So the next morning he decides, 'Meh! Yes! The little midget people are just waking up and they'll be all depressed since I stold Christams! Meh heh heh!'" Playing the Grinch, Austin went cross-eyed and flapped his paws a little to mock the old creature.

"Oh, tell us, Austin! Were they all sad and depressed?" Lily asked, mocking his excitement.

"No!" Austin said. "They weren't! They still sang songs and were all happy. The Grinch was like, 'Meh? What? Why aren't they all sad?' And so he went down and observed for awhile. Then he realized, 'Ma goshness! Christmas isn't about physical objects! It's about happiness! And that's why I think it's a cultural holiday instead of-" Lily hit him. "-It's about happiness!' And so he went back down and gave them all back their trees and shmutz and everbody lived happily ever after."

"And the Grinch's heart grew three sizes," Lily finished.

"Yeah. And the Grinch's heart grew three sizes. And everybody lived happily ever after. The end!" Austin said.

"That was great! Do you have a Jewish holiday story?" Jared asked.

"Uh..." Austin thought. "Sure. The Hanukkah story. So. A long time ago in a land called Israel there were these two groups. One was devoted to Helenism-"

"Huh?" Heather asked.

"A religion," Austin explained. "Anyway, the other group was Jewish. And there was this temple. So the people for Helenism captured the temple and were all like, 'We'd quite prefer you didn't practice Jewdaism here.' And the leader of the Jewish people at the time, a Maccabee, was all like, 'Nevvverrrr!' and he and his brothers got the temple back. When they were cleaning it up (because it magically got dirty somehow) they had an oil lamp they needed to keep lit. I think it was an Eternal light, one in a temple that needs to be kept going forever. They only had enough oil for one day but it lasted eight. It was utterly magical and people lived happily ever after. Yay."

"Cool," Jared said, his eyes alit with wonder. "I love stories."

"Me, too," Austin said, beaming. "Now we have to get back, though."

And just like that, Santa Claus and Hanukkah Harry and the Kwanzaa happy person magically appeared and teleported everybody back to their own worlds.

Just kidding. Jay, Destiny, and Jaeson firgued out that the circle got them to this world, maybe it'd get them to their own worlds. And so they got in a circle, said their goodbyes, and teleported back.

It was wonderful.

THE END

I hope you all enjoyed the story of how Jaeson was not the grinch, the holidays were not stolen, and things happened :D

I know I enjoyed writing it, that's for sure!
