Jen and Jamie were getting ready for a surprise for Mike as this was going to be their first real Christmas together.
"How long until Betty and Howard get here?" Jen asked.
"Should be another half hour." Jamie checked the time.
"Where is Mike anyhow?" Jen asked.
"At the Mall." Jamie said.
"The DeVilles should be here long enough to surprise Mike." Jen smiled.
"This is exciting, this will be Mike's best Christmas ever." Jamie smiled back.
"I know, right?" Jen replied. "I just wish Mom and Dad were here to see this."
"I know..." Jamie sighed. "It's been rough without them."
"I know." Jen sighed back.
Meanwhile at the Mall...
Mike was at the Mall with her friends, shopping for Christmas presents.
"I hope I don't get clothes for Christmas." Eddy pouted.
"I'm not even sure what I want this year." June hummed.
"I think I'm scarred for life." Abby said while pointing to Jo.
"Holidays! Merry Christmas!" Jo cheered before going over to Jude. "Merry Christmas, Skater Nerd!"
"You are being cheery, it's a trap, it's a TRAP!" Jude panicked before running away.
Cindy was in the Baby Department Store and then came out as she carried a pink basket with baby girl toys. "I really hope Michael and Ashley love this for the new baby."
"Merry Christmas, Butler!" Jo picked up Cindy high in the air.
"Whaaaa, I wasn't in your room, honest!" Cindy panicked. "Wait! You are being a happy camper!" she then screamed. "It's the Apocalypse!"
"Cats and dogs living together mass hysteria!" Sledgehammer panicked.
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE, SLEDGE!" Cindy told her possum.
"Don't need to tell me twice!" Sledgehammer replied.
Cindy and Sledgehammer screamed together and jumped out of the Mall window.
"Jo, you're in a good mood." Dee Dee smiled to the jockette.
"And that's scary." Eddy said.
"That's funny." Jo giggled.
"Who are you and what have you done with Jo?" Duncan demanded.
"Sorry about this, Jo." Eddy said before slapping the jockette.
"What happened?" Jo blinked.
"You went Looney Tunes!" Dee Dee told her before smirking. "A registered trademark from the Warner Bros. Federation."
"One of my Emoitclones took over my body." Jo explained.
"Y-You are back to normal, right?" Eddy asked.
"Yes..." Jo narrowed her eyes, then looked around. "Autumn? Autumn! Oh, man, I lost my sister in the mall!"
"No, she's right there." June pointed.
Autumn was in Build-A-Bear with a girl with short brown hair with a red ribbon who smiled to her and she appeared to be making one of the teddy bears floating in mid-air.
"What the?!" Jo flipped out.
"How did she do that?" June wondered.
The girl smiled and then gave Autumn the bear.
Jo came over. "Come on, kiddo, it's time to see Santa."
"Hi!" the brown-haired girl smiled. "I'm Matilda."
"You're the one who did that?" Mike asked.
"That's right." Matilda confirmed.
"How?" Mike asked.
"I have special powers and I've been reading since I was three." Matilda smiled.
"What kind of powers?" Mike asked.
"Psychic abilities and much more." Matilda replied.
"Matilda!" A young woman called.
"Ooh, I gotta go, bye, Merry Christmas, Autumn." Matilda said and then ran off to her adoptive mother.
Autumn then waved to her new friend.
"So, you made a new friend, huh?" Jo asked her little sister.
Autumn smiled and nodded.
"Come on," Jo took her hand. "Time to tell Santa what you want for Christmas."
"Glad to see that Jo is back to her normal self." Duncan admitted.
"Yeah, she was kinda scary..." Eddy had to admit.
"Milk and cookies for Santa!" Ed laughed.
Billy, Mandy, and Grim seemed to be in the Mall too, Grim had a hamburger on a stick while Billy looked like he needed to use the bathroom as the other kids were lining up to see Santa Claus.
"Want some hamburger on a stick?" Grim offered to Billy and Mandy.
"Pass." Mandy groaned.
"More for me then!" Grim then said before eating.
Cindy wobbled over and then fell on the floor. "Ow."
"You mortals did something right when you invented mall food." Grim smiled as he ate his hamburger.
Cindy looked up. "Mandy, you're waiting for Santa?"
"No." Mandy droned.
"Oh, okay." Cindy shrugged.
"I can't believe there's this many people waiting to use the bathroom!" Billy groaned. "I feel like my bladder's gonna explode!"
Everybody then stepped back away from the big-nosed boy.
"Actually, this is the line to see Santa Claus." Mac told Billy.
"Santa's here?!" Billy beamed. "At a Mall?! Ooh, he must be buying me presents!"
Billy then yelled out Santa's name over and over which made almost everyone else look at him.
"Santa... What a big red scam." Mandy scoffed.
"Santa's not a scam, Mandy," Grim told her. "He's real! We went to college together."
"Grim, everyone knows that Santa is an invention designed by the Big Five Corporation to sell tinsel and video games to an unsuspecting public." Mandy replied.
"The whole childhood wonder stage just blew right past ya, didn't it?" Grim scoffed.
"That sounds like Mandy to me." Cindy said as she stood up.
"Whatever." Mandy muttered.
Cindy sighed to Mandy slightly.
"And what do you want for Christmas, little girl?" the Mall Santa told the little girl next in line as it was her turn. "Tell Santa your name."
"Oh... My... God! Mike, look at who's Santa!" Jo noticed.
Mike looked over and her eyes widened. "That's the Red Guy!"
Cow and Chicken appeared to be there and were forced to be Santa's elves.
"My name's Megan Bitterman." the little girl smiled.
"And what do you want Santa to bring you, Megan?" the Red Guy asked.
"A cool pair of wings so I can fly like a winged horsey thing!" Megan giggled.
"Yes, and Santa wants $1.50 an hour, but apparently, HE'S NOT GETTING THAT EITHER!" The Red Guy replied.
The manager looked mad and then shut the door.
"Wow, and I thought Drell was a fat meany." Cindy whispered.
"I HEARD THAT!" Drell's voice yelled out.
Cindy squeaked nervously in response.
"Just remember, Megan," the Red Guy told the usually happy little girl. "Disappointment is a present too."
"SANTA! Santa! Santa!" Billy called out before he tried to cut everyone in line, including Autumn.
'Hey!' Autumn pouted.
"Is something wrong, kiddo?" Jo asked.
'Billy cut right in front of me.' Autumn pouted.
"I'll deal with him when he leaves the mall." Jo promised as she cracked her knuckles, not wanting to make a scene in a public place like this.
Billy then yapped and yammered about what he wanted for Christmas to the Red Guy.
"Man, does this kid ever shut up?" Chicken groaned.
"Chicken, be nice, it's the holidays..." Cow warned her brother.
Chicken scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Have you been relieving yourself on my lap this entire time?" The Red Guy deadpanned to Billy.
"Yeah... 'Tis the season for giving." Billy smiled innocently.
This then made the Red Guy beat up Billy.
"Whoa, Santa's trying to kill that little kid!" Mitch called out.
Cow and Chicken then tried to hold back the Red Guy.
"No, he's been a very naughty boy!" the Red Guy glared as he kept trying to reach for Billy. "Just one season's beating! JUST ONE!" his beard then suddenly fell off.
"Hey, that's not the real Santa!" Matt pointed with a glare as he stood with Angelia and Sarah.
"This mall lied to us!" Jessica called out. "Let's get him!"
The people then swarmed over to the Red Guy.
"I haven't seen a crowd this hostile since I was on the dodgeball team in Gumboot." Cindy commented.
Tony and Jessica tore down a tree together and it was then caught on fire.
"This is for making me believe!" Jeff yelled before throwing a present into a shop.
Johnny Bravo was beating up the Red Guy as Anne Maria was holding him.
"I got your Christmas cheer right here!" Johnny glared as he punched the Red Guy.
"Please, it's just a job!" The Red Guy cried out as he was getting beat up.
"Merry 'Fistmas', jerkwad!" Johnny growled and punched the Red Guy again.
"Whoa, Johnny is beating up the Red Guy." Mike muttered.
"It's getting ugly in here, come on." Grim walked out with Billy and Mandy.
The mall was catching on fire from a lot of the chaos.
"What a Christmas this turned out to be..." Mike rolled her eyes, she then took out her phone and got a text. "That's Jen and Jamie, they want us over for dinner."
Mike, June, Dee Dee, and the Eds then went to the forest to Mike's home for dinner as promised.
