Chapter One
Season's Arrived
It was November 10th and the MegaForce had started to put up some items around the command center of the MegaRobot. The tubes of the MegaRobot swished up and stepped out was the HyperForce.
"Hey guys. Wow!"
"You got that right, kid. The place looks great!" Sprx added.
"Thanks guys." Carbon said walking over. She looked up at where Seala was hanging a stemmer. "A little higher Seala!"
"How's this?"
"Prefect! Come on down and say hi!"
Seala looked at where Carbon was and her eyes were set on Gibson, first thing.
"Coming!" She looked down at Gizmo. "Come on sis."
The two came over and greeted the HyperForce.
"Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!" Gizmo shouted.
"What?" Nova asked.
"It's a tradition we have every year. We even had it on Planet Zon." Seala explained.
"But what are they?" Sprx asked.
"Thanksgiving and Christmas is when we come together and have spend time without arguing." Gizmo explained.
"Or hitting." Seala added.
"And we have a great time." Elella added.
"Where'd you come from?" Chiro asked.
"I was hanging more decorations on the ceiling above ya." They looked up and saw some snowflakes made of paper. "Speaking of which. Hey Melodie?" There was no answer. "Where'd she go?"
"I believe she's on the antenna, putting the bow on." Seala answered.
The tubes swished.
"Here I am." Melodie stepped out of the tube. "I saw you come in, so I thought I'd finish up and come down."
"I wanna see the bow!"
"Alright Gizmo. Come on." Melodie and Gizmo stepped into the tubes. "Seala, do you mind if Elella helps finish your part?"
"Not at all."
"Oh Melodie, before you go, I need more paper snowflakes." Elella said quickly.
"I'll make more when Gizmo and I get back. Would any of you like to come with us?" Melodie asked the HyperForce.
"Where are you going Melodie?" Nova asked.
"Gizmo and I are going to go shopping for the Thanksgiving dinner."
"I'll help." Nova said.
"I'll come as well." Gibson said.
"Thank you, you two. Um…could the rest of you please help the four with the rest of the decorations?" Melodie asked.
"Sure. We could do that." Chiro answered.
"Thank you. Carbon, make sure everyone has job and do it right."
"Of course Mom."
Then the four went down the tubes. Where the door is, there were six cloak-like coats. Melodie and Gizmo put on one each. Melodie held out two to Gibson and Nova.
"Here."
"Um…" Nova was confused.
"Seala researched the weather patterns here in Shuggazoom City and suggests we were these. I'm sure Blaze and Elella won't mind if you two borrow their coats." Melodie explained.
"Thank you." Nova said taking the coat and wrapping it around. "Uh…how do you-"
"I'll help." Gizmo said. "Here, you just tie it around your neck, like this." She said as she put the ribbon in a bow.
"I can't seem to get it." Gibson said.
"Here." Melodie tied the cloak for him. "Okay. Let's go."
Then the four walked out into the city. A big gush of wind swept by them and Gibson and Nova shivered.
"Oh my."
"You can say that again, Gibson. That was a good call on the coats."
"Seala is best at weather patterns." Melodie said.
"Come on!" Gizmo shouted.
"Alright. And we'll make the list on the way. So what do you what Gizmo? Name three foods."
"Alright. Um…oh I know! I want my favorite!"
"Okay, so a chocolate pie, right? And cranberry sauce, and stuffing."
"Yeah!"
"What are we getting exactly?" Gibson asked.
"I thought we'd make it up as we went along."
"Melodie? Can you sing that song? The one you used to sing all the time when Elella and Seala fought in November?"
"What song?" Nova asked.
Melodie: Bless Us Everyone/On this Beautiful Christmas morning/All my dreams will come true somehow/Even though we have little/Bless Us Everyone/Bless Us Everyone/On this Beautiful Christmas morning/All my dreams will Be real somewhere/I smile when I think/Bless Us Everyone "That's all I can remember honestly. I guess it's been such a long time, I've forgotten it." Melodie said disappointment at herself.
"That's alright Mom. That was my favorite part."
"Well, here we are."
The four stepped in and started shopping for food.
Back at the MegaRobot…
"And it goes like this." Seala said as she finished cutting a paper snowflake.
"Uh…" Chiro and Antauri tried this but they didn't come out as planned.
"It's alright. It's hard at first. And we'll still use these."
"But they're horrible." Chiro pointed out.
"Are you kidding? Those are perfect."
"Hey! So how's it going with the snowflakes?" Carbon asked as she walked over. She looked at what Chiro and Antauri made. "Oh, hey! Nice job guys! We'll put them up right over here." Carbon said as she hung the snowflakes on a wall.
"Hmmm…" Seala looked at where Otto and Blaze were working on the stemmers. "Blaze! You be careful!"
"Don't worry Seala! I'm fine! Ah!" Then Blaze lost his balance on the ladder and fell to the floor.
"I warned you." Seala said as she helped him up. "Are you alright?"
"I think so. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Just then the tubes swished and the four stepped out.
"We're back!" Gizmo shouted.
Melodie realized Blaze was in a little pain.
"Blaze, are you alright? What happened?"
"I fell off the ladder."
"And Seala warned him to be careful." Otto added.
"Well, you should be careful Blaze. We do not need anyone injured for the holidays."
"I'm all good Mom."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Alright. Just…take it easy…please?"
"Sure thing Mom."
"So, what's you get for Thanksgiving?" Elella asked changing the subject.
"We got a lot!" Gizmo said loudly but not shouting.
"Let's see here." Then Melodie and Gizmo started going through the shopping bags and pulled out tons of ingredients for different foods, and paper plates (recyclable).
"And, here, Elella. Would you please find a place for this?" Melodie asked she pulled out a small tree.
"Oh my. Melodie, this is-"
"Yeah we know. And…here! This is for you, Seala." Gizmo said pulling out a crafts book.
"This is…for me?"
Gizmo nodded.
"Gizmo picked it out for you and couldn't wait to give it to you." Nova said.
"Yeah, and Gibson helped. He knew just what book to get you."
"Well, it was your idea to get her a crafts book Gizmo."
"Yeah, but you picked out which one."
Gibson blushed a little. Seala kissed him on the cheek and he blushed harder.
"That was very sweet of you…both."
"This is going to be a great year!" Carbon said.
Then the MegaForce started overlapping conversations and cheering. The HyperForce just stood there for a moment and then they started for the tubes. Melodie noticed.
"Hey, where you all going?" Melodie asked making all the MegaForce stop.
"We were going for Hover Burgers." Chiro answered.
"We thought you were going to help out." Carbon said.
"We did, but…uh…it seems we'll be in the way so-" Carbon cut Chiro off by smacking the back of the head. "What'd you do that for?"
"For being stupid." Carbon answered flatly.
"What?"
"Chiro, you seriously think…we wouldn't want you or any of you to be here? To help us, to go shopping for dinner? Now that's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life!"
"And I come back to what?"
"You guys are family." Seala said.
"It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without you." Blaze added.
Then everyone started to talk and decorate the MegaRobot.
