"RANDOM SNOWBALL FIGHT FOR NO REASON!"

Whiff! Whiff! Whiff!

WHUMP!

"Oops. Sorry, Pacifica!" said Mabel.

"It's ok...Softer than rocks." she replied.

Dipper and Mabel were dressed, respectively, in blue and pink beanie hats, puffy orange and purple snow suits, and navy blue and pink snow boots.

"Be prepared, Dip-Dop! I'm bringing the heat in the cold!"

Mabel threw another snowball...

WHUFF!

But this one hit something so hard that it fell.

"Uh-oh."

"Not again!" Dipper lamented.

The twins rushed over to the snowball victim. Then they realized it had four legs.

"Phew", Mabel sighed, "Just a deer."

"Yeah...Hey, what's it doing with this...bullseye on its back?" Dipper wondered.

"Hmm...Maybe I was subconsciously aiming for it?" said Mabel.

"WHOO! WEE! YAHOO!"

"What the?"

A flash of red and plaid swiftly ran toward the kids and the deer.

When they came close enough, they jumped and hollered at the sight.

"Woo! We got em! We got em! Nice one, Dad!"

Dipper recognized them instantly. It was "Manly" Dan Corduroy and his sons.

"Boys, I didn't throw it, but I sure am proud of who did!"

"Uh...That was us, actually..." Dipper semi-nervously pulled his sister to his side.

"Well, nice job, you-Hey! You were the kid with the left-"

"Dad! Bros! I'm here!"

A tall, somewhat tired redhead stumbled and panted onto the scene.

"You guys...left me at... The big oak stump..."

Then, Wendy's face brightened when she saw who was there.

"DUDES! KIDS! WELCOME BACK!"

She picked the kids up in a hug of sorts.

"What're you guys doing here?"

"We came back for winter break!" said Mabel.

"Yeah...Hey, what was the thing with the deer?"

"Oh, that? Me and my family are doing apocalypse training."

"Apocalypse training?" Dipper said in confusion.

"Yeah, how to survive if the world ends. How to hunt, gather essentials, and so on. We do it every year instead of Christmas."

"Wow, Wendy. That's sounds interesting."

"Yeah, maybe a little intense," Mabel added. "But pretty co-wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait wait.

Did you just say you skip CHRISTMAS!?"

"...Well, yeah..." Wendy admitted.

"But...presents...Santa...Don't you want that..?"

"Well..."

She sat down.

"Sometimes...I hear my friends talk about what they got for Christmas... And I feel...kinda left out...I sorta want to really experience that..."

A determined look suddenly crossed Mabel's face.

"Wendy, enough is enough! This year, you are having a real true -to-life Christmas!"

"Wow, you think you can do that for me?"

Mabel pulled out a pair of reindeer antlers and stuck them on Wendy's head.

"Time to get your holly jolly on."
