LMV: The Return

Christmas at the Clocktower

Danny POV

Папа and I were sitting in the main room of the Clocktower when I remembered that Christmas was next week. I was so shocked I almost fell out of my chair. Папа asked what was wrong although the look in his eye told me he already knew. I told him he shouldn't ask questions that he already knows the answer too. He laughed telling me he'd been told that many times before. While I still don't really enjoy christmas after the fiasco with Ghostwriter I had mostly learned to make my Christmas a Merry Christmas on my own. So after that realization sunk in another one made itself known: this would be the first Christmas after I found out I was adopted and Lynn had practically moved in with Walker. It was also the first Christmas Джаз(Jazz) and I wouldn't spend with Jack and Maddie. I hope the two of them get over their prejudices soon cause Джаз isn't holding up as well as she could be...

"Hey Папа can we do the Christmas truce party here? I think having more people around will help Джаз out and it would be a wonderful 'induction' of me into Zone politics..."

Папа nodded and told me to go start spreading the word around that if no one else will host the party this year we would. I did as told and went to find Johnny and Kitty as they were the Zone's best/worst gossips and were always ready to party. As I rounded Skulker's island I finally heard the roar of a motorcycle and flew in the direction of the sound. When I caught up I only found Johnny but he was on his way to pick Kitty up. I asked if I could ride along until he got to where Kitty was and then I'd tell them both what I had to say. He agreed and off we went. Turns out Kitty was a Ember's lair the whole time and I had just past said lair not but three minutes ago. Anyway once we got there I explained what Папа and I had worked out. Ember interrupted half way through with:

"I don't think anyone has offered to host the party yet this year. Mostly because so much has happened and we're all worried about what's to come but if Clockwork is willing I guess it's ok so yeah I'll help spread the word too."

I thanked Ember and the others as I turned to go spread the news. By the time I had reached Walker's prison it looked like everybody knew about when and where the party was this year so I went home. Once at home I went to my room to prepare my gifts for everyone. I already have a few things for the family, but I want to make some things too...hmmmm... What to do?... For Джаз I want to make something nice, something to take her mind off her pain for a bit. I know I'll make her a chess set of ice because she needs something help keep her strategy skills sharp and besides she likes chess... And I can make the pieces into likenesses of everyone! Yeah and for Дани(Dani) I can make her a nightlight of ice and ectoplasm in the shape of...hmmm what shape? A spaceship? Or maybe a constellation? I like the constellation idea now which one... Maybe Aries... In honor of her "birth"? I mean she was "born" on April 7th... And for Папа I think I'll try to make my own kind of medallion like his! Yeah that sounds great! And then as small gifts for everyone at the party I'll make small balls of ice with ectoplasm in them like I plan to do for Дани except smaller and they'll be able to change the brightness depending on the amount of ectoplasm they put in it. Yeah! That's it! That's what I'll do! Well best get started now...

Time skip: Day of the party, December 23rd

Jazz POV

Well at least the music is okay... And Danny had fun preparing everything... I just wish I could spend it with mom and dad but I guess I'll just have to be happy with this... And I still have Danny and Dani and they say I'll always have them... Then there is Clockwork... Ohhhh I love this song! It's always been one of my favorites at Christmas: "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" from White Christmas. Oh I wish someone would ask me to dance to it at least once in my lifetime!

"Excuse me, Jasmine. But might I have this dance?"

I turned to see Clockwork, holding his hand out to me and instead of his usual tail he has legs and looks very dashing in his suit and cloak. I accepted his hand and he lead me to the floor. It was wonderful! We waltzed and he spun me around and around; allowing my dress that was a dark christmas green to flow around my legs and his dark red Christmas cloak to mix with my dress! Well I guess this will be the first and last dance of the night for me. But, oh how I could have danced all night in his arms! As the song wound down we slowed too. Then all of a sudden the rest of the guests are looking at us and a spot just above us. I looked and saw mistletoe. I promptly blushed and looked at Clockwork. He was smiling gently at me and looked like he was about to say something when I felt like I had been pushed by some unseen force... And landed on Clockwork with our lips meeting! Don't get me wrong it was a nice kiss but I don't think it was very wise for it to happen just yet although we'd known each other well for a year now. After we broke apart I looked to see who had pushed me and saw a small shining light hovering near Lynn. I glared but then looked to Danny because I was worried he'd be weirded out at seeing his adoptive sister and his father kiss but he seemed a-okay with it. After I had finished checking on Danny, Clockwork asked me for another dance. Guess I was wrong earlier and I just might get to Dance in his arms all night. Turns out we danced together most of the night. Although we did dance one dance each with Dani and Danny. After our fourth dance together most of the guests were leaving or had gone so he decided to walk me to my room. Once there he kissed my hand and wished me a good night. He also said he'd see me in the morning for decorating the tree and putting presents around it. I agreed and bid him farewell. This has been the best night ever!

Danny POV (before Clockwork asks Jazz to dance)

The party was in full swing; I was greeting people at the door; Дани was working the DJ stand and Джаз and Папа were supposed to be working the floor. I looked around as the last guests (Lynn and Walker) walked in to see that neither was working the floor. In fact Джаз was sulking in a corner and Папа looked like he was trying to gather courage to do something... Like ask Джаз to dance... I wouldn't mind if the two of them got together Джаз was more my mother figure than Maddie anyway...

"Hey Lynn do you think you could help me with something?"

She looked at me and nodded, that is after she and Walker kissed underneath the mistletoe because some how all the other ghosts decided to get them under it and that had given me the idea. So I told her my plan and she looked at me with a devious glint in her eye. She nodded again and went off to find Дани to in form her of the plan because Дани had left Ember in charge of music once she got here. I left to go talk Папа into dancing with Джаз.

"Папа why don't you ask Джаз to dance? I'm sure she'd love it and besides I think it would help cheer her up!"

"Don't think I don't know what you're planing Сын. You and Lynn both. But as it isn't harmful and its two days before Christmas, I'll let it slide. Just this once but after that stay out of mine and your sister's love life okay?"

I nodded but it seemed that he had gained enough courage to ask Джаз to dance because next thing I knew Ember was playing Джаз's favorite Christmas song to dance to and Папа and Джаз were dancing and they danced and danced and danced. Дани and I cut in for one dance with the two of them and then they danced four more times but at that point I was at the door giving out all of the party favors as guests left and then I lost sight of them until Lynn and Walker were at the door. Just as the two were leaving Папа came back in from the hall heading towards our rooms and said he'd taken Джаз to her room. Lynn awed and then said she'd see us some time on Christmas Day with Walker in tow to give us our gifts from them and I realized I needed to make/get them gifts as well. It's a good thing I've still got time to get/make them gifts though I think I'll just get them things from the Far Frozen tomorrow as Папа said we'd be going there for some last minute Christmas shopping after decorating the tree and putting some of the gifts under it... Though I don't think he ever told Джаз that... Then after Lynn and Walker left Папа said that Дани and I could go to bed and he'd take care of the after party clean up. Дани and I were so exhausted that we agreed and said we'd see him in the morning.

Time skip: the next morning, December 24th, Christmas Eve

Dani POV

Last night was so cute Dad and Jazz seemed to have a lot of fun once they started dancing! And then it was sooooooo amazing to have everybody over; it was like one big family reunion... I'm so excited this will be my first time spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Family!

As I was thinking I had wondered down to the main area where Dad had set up a tree and set out all sorts of decorations. Danny and Jazz were already down stairs.

"Hehe sorry I guess I slept late huh..."

"It's no problem Дани we're still waiting on Папа to bring down more ornaments 'cause he didn't want us getting hurt or something like that so he's doing all the moving of things by himself then we'll all decorate the tree and then put what presents we have under it. Then we'll head to the Far Frozen for some last minute things..."

"Then we'll come back here and we'll each get to open one present before tomorrow then we'll head to bed."

Jazz finished for Danny. I should probably practice my Russian more like Danny but I don't really want to right now and it's not like I need it for a cover story anymore... Oh well...

Just then Dad came down with the last of the ornaments and then we started on the tree. Or we tried too by the time we had finished putting up all the decorations it was quite the sight. All a glow with tiny faerie lights and bobbles of all shapes and sizes. But it was our tree so I was proud of it. Then everyone left to grab their presents to put under the tree. We decided that we wouldn't put who things were from just wrap them in a paper representative of who it was from and write who it was to on the package. We then piled all the gifts under the tree in mounds for each person. Once that was settled Jazz left to get ready to go to the Far Frozen and the rest of us waited. Jazz came back down and we headed to the Far Frozen.

Clockwork POV (on the way to Far Frozen)

I was very proud of Daniil and Danielle for being so accepting of what was beginning to blossom between Jasmine and myself. I was also glad that I had, with the help of Lynn, been able to talk Walker into creating a birth certificate for Danielle as part of her Christmas gifts. Once we reached the Far Frozen we split off and said we'd meet back at the statue of Daniil at four pm. I went in search of Frostbite for some help making new cloaks for everyone. For a Snowelf Frostbite was an amazing tailor, As were most of the people of the Far Frozen. Anyway when I found and asked him for his help he gladly replied that he'd be honored. So we spent most of our time making the cloaks, when 3:45pm came along we had finished the cloaks and had them wrapped (Thanks to my powers over time) so I had plenty of time to get to the statue and wait on the others. When the time to meet up came around everyone was there and ready to head home. We carried our parcels and then place them under the tree.

"So who would like to open the first gift of the evening?"

Danielle responded first to me and opened one of her brothers gifts to her. It was a set of plushies that Daniil had found of Jasmine himself and me. She was exuberant. Next up was Daniil and he opened up his cloak. It was black and white with blue and green undertones and a mixture of mine and his symbols on the back. He loved it and instantly put it on. Then Jasmine opened up a gift from Danielle. It was a new diary so that she could express herself in a way that she would otherwise not have. I opened mine last. It was from Jasmine and it was a beautiful miniature grandfather clock with a picture of the four of us on the face. I knew instantly that I had to put it up where everyone could see. I found a spot next to one of the various other clocks in the tower next to my viewing screens but out where it could be seen. We then all hugged each other and left for bed as tomorrow promised to be a long day.

Time skip: December 25th, Christmas Day

Danny POV

I woke up to bouncing on my bed and realized that Дани was up and waking everyone up so we could open presents and prepare for Lynn and Walker's visit. After everyone was up and we had had breakfast; we headed down to the tree and handed out the gifts. Дани got: a cloak like mine except it was blue and green with black and white undertones (Папа); the night light; a new outfit from Джаз; another hat for her human form (Джаз); a birth certificate (Папа); and a picture of all of us in a wallet (everybody). Джаз received: a new cloak except hers was black and blue with purple undertones and instead of a dp in her clockgear it was her initials; the chess set; a new psych book she had been wanting (Папа); a necklace with a rose on it (Дани); a picture of the two of us with the Fentons framed in ice (me); and a blanket with everyone's handprint and name painted on it (everybody). Папа got: the new medallion; a new watch (Дани); a charm of a thermos for his staff that when you put ectoplasm in it, it changed size and became useable (Дани, with some help from me); another charm for his staff except this time it was of an ecto-gun with the same properties, incase he was too low on power (Джаз); a new viewing screen made of ice that he could record special moments on (me); and his very own new cloak that was purple with black, white and turquoise undertones and his symbol on it (everyone). I received: a watch from Папа; a new thermos and ecto-gun from Дaни (with help from Джаз); a cool Russian themed notebook and embroidered bookbag from Джаз; and an engraved locket that said 'To our precious Phantom' with a picture of Папа and Мама on one side and Джаз and Дани on the other from everyone. By the time we had finished opening our gifts to each other and hugging and crying happy tears of gratefulness and thanking each other, Lynn and Walker had arrived. They gave us each a new ornament for our tree as well as a personalized gift for each of us. I got a new model space ship to put together. Дaни got a map of the constellations. Джаз got a new head band that was turquoise and purple striped. And Папа got a miniature green house with a vanilla orchid inside so he could make his own vanilla for when he bakes his cookies!

We gave Lynn and Walker their gifts. Lynn got: a new set of clothes (Джаз); her own thermos (Дaни with help from me); a necklace made of ice and ectoplasm so it wouldn't chill her to the bone (me); and a light pink with light blue undertones cloak with a pair of wings on the back (Папа). Then instead of us all getting separate gifts for Walker, we all pitched in to get him a modern human law book. They both seemed to be pleased with their gifts. They stayed for dinner at Папа's insistence. Dinner consisted of turkey and mashed potatoes and other Christmas-y dinner foods. After dinner Lynn found a piano and started to play and sing Christmas carols. Sometimes we'd all join in or only some of us would but mostly we just sat and listened to Lynn sing. Her last song before she and Walker left was "Home for the Holidays" which is a very cheery song but she seemed to almost be crying. It was sad. But then she smiled at us and it seemed like everything was gonna be okay. After that she and Walker left for... I think it was ice skating or something... I don't know... Afterthey left we all curled up by the fire with Папа and Джаз around Дани and me on the couch. And we told stories and sung a few more songs. After a while I was the only one still awake because everyone else was asleep so I curled up into Папа and fell asleep too with these last thoughts: This was the best Christmas ever!

A/N: So I decided to actually reread this and edit it some. now it should be a bit better. 12/27/14
