It was the morning of Christmas and the Heck house was chaotic as usual. Frankie was preparing for her special dinner she had with the new neighbors, Mike was making coffee and Sue and Brick had just woken up.
Sue went into Axl's room has she was walking through the hallway.
"Axl! It's Christmas! Wake up!" she exclaimed.
"Shut up, I'm sleeping. Go away." Axl demanded.
"B-but, it's CHRISTMAS!" Sue screamed.
Axl just ignored her and went back to sleep.
She realized and left his room.
She entered the kitchen. "Good Morning Mom and Dad, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Sue said with joy.
"Where's Axl?" Brick asked Sue.
"Sleeping, he wouldn't leave his bed. I asked him!" Sue said angrily.
Sue and Brick started opening their presents.
A few moments later, Axl walked into the kitchen.
"If I come in here, will you all let me sleep?" he asked.
"We're a family, we should all be out here together" Frankie said.
"Ugh" Axl groaned and started coughing.
"Axl, Are you serious? Today of all days, you have to pretend to be sick. Do you know how important this day is for me? I've been planning it since Halloween!" Frankie exclaimed.
"I just coughed…" Axl said with an attitude.
"I was just going to ask if you could put on the heat. I'm freezing" Axl said.
"…The heat is on" Mike said.
Axl started coughing again, even harder.
Frankie looked at him again, confused. Could Axl be telling the truth?
"I'm just gonna go back to sleep. Frankie stopped him and felt his forehead.
"What are you doing? I'm going to sleep" Axl asked angrily.
