When Morgan arrived,she was greeted to quite the sight. Jimmy was facepalming while Timmy and Manny seemed to be fighting over something. Jenny and Danny looked awkward and didn't seem to know what to do.
"Um,guys!" Morgan shouted.
The room silenced and all heads were turned to her,making her sweatdrop.
"Oh hey Morgan. You're here!" Jenny beamed,high fiving her.
"Hi Jen." Morgan replied.
Everyone else said hello except Manny. He glared at her. Morgan noticed this and questioned him.
"Hey,i've never seen you before… Who are you?"
Danny could see the idea forming in Manny's eyes.
"Manny,don't be so rude. Morgan won't try anything,right?"
Morgan looked offended and nodded quickly. "No! Why would he-"
"We told him what happened." Jimmy explained.
"Oh,well crud…" Morgan sighed.
"It's not just that! Her necklace! It's freaking me out!" Manny cried out.
"You can sense my powers,can't you?"
Manny returned the look. "Yeah,i can."
"Ditto. I could sense your belt."
"So Morgan,how're those freaky Siren powers working?" Timmy asked.
She decided to explain all that she had found out.
"Wow,so you can control your powers better now?" Jenny asked,bewildered.
Morgan nodded. "Yup and i can use my singing voice to control things and manipulate...like before..."
Manny and Timmy both rolled their eyes.
"Seems fitting." Manny whispered to his blue-eye friend.
Timmy shrugged in response. Jimmy then noticed that Danny seemed distant.
"Danny? Is there something wrong?"
The ghost boy shrugged. "I know it's off topic but i was thinking about Christmas and how i used to hate it."
Eyes went wide at that statement and all eyes were on him.
"You used to hate Christmas!? Why?" Timmy asked.
"My parents used to always argue about whether Santa was real and it would always cause some kind of disaster."
Morgan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "That's stupid. Of course he's not real. It's your parents that put the presents under the tree."
Manny nodded in agreement while Timmy and Jimmy looked like they were just punched in the face.
"Are you kidding me!?" they both shouted.
Danny,Manny,and Morgan looked confused.
"I'm with them on this one." Jenny added.
"Maybe we shouldn't have discussed this around a ten and eleven year old…" Morgan thought.
"I know what you all are thinking but trust me,Santa is real! I used to think he was a fairy tale too! Then...well i kinda messed up."
"That's news,not" Timmy whispered to Morgan,which caused her to laugh quietly.
Danny and Jenny glared at the two as Manny started laughing as well.
"Why don't you tell us what happened Jimmy?" Danny asked.
Jimmy rubbed his arm in embarrassment. "Um,alright if you really want to hear it."
See basically what happened was,it was around Christmas time and i was getting slightly annoyed at the festivities. Carl and Sheen were talking about what they wanted and i told them,
"Santa's not real. When i was younger i asked for a certain item and for years in a row i never got it."
Sheen thought it was because i was on the Naughty list but that just made me angrier. What ended up happening was that Carl,Sheen,Cindy,Libby and I went to the North Pole so i could prove he didn't exist. We found his workshop and...um...one of my weapons went off and,well...i thought i killed Santa.
The room was silent. Timmy and Manny's eyes were wider than plates,Morgan's jaw was agape,Danny looked away and Jenny looked sympathetic.
"Long story short,i filled in for him,got my gift and found out he was alive. Yeah,so that was one heck of a Christmas…"
Manny blinked. "Wow,i thought mine were bad. Usually i don't get gifts because either the villains steal them all or because i can't choose a side...i guess it confuses either my parents or Santa or whatever. I do usually get something from my mom though."
Morgan almost wanted laugh at the irony.
"Manny,that's how i was. It's called being an Anti-hero."
Manny looked at her like she was crazy. "A what now?"
"An Anti-Hero,it's a person who's both heroic and slightly evil. From what i know,that's pretty much you in a nutshell."
Manny wondered about that. It certainly seemed to fit him. Back on topic,Timmy was shocked.
"Man,i thought i was the only one who screwed up Christmas."
"You've done it too?" Jimmy asked.
"Not just once,but twice."
Danny facepalmed. "Only you would make the same mistake twice."
Timmy glared at him. "It's not like i meant to!"
"How about you tell us already?" Manny asked.
Timmy sighed. "Fine."
Basically,this is what happened. The first time i messed up the holiday,was because i wished for it to be everyday. I did it because Christmas was the only time when not only did i not have to be at school but my mom and dad were home and wouldn't go anywhere. The problem with it was that Santa had to make gifts everyday and it caused my town to basically shut down.
The people went so far as to attack Santa directly. I went to try and fix it after the other holidays took Cosmo and Wanda,vowing to destroy him. I was able to get the kids from around the world to help me fix it in the end.
The other time was when me and and all the other kids got nothing we wanted. I ended up making everyone hate Santa when i wished for everyone to get and after Christmas wish. Again,i had to get the world to not blow Santa sky high.
"Woah,that's one major screw up." Manny added.
"No kidding" Timmy replied.
Morgan couldn't believe it. "Man...and i thought this kids could do no wrong."
She then noticed Jenny looked really unhappy.
"Hey Jen? You alright?"
Suddenly she burst from her seat. "No! Augh! The guilt is killing me!"
"Woah! Jenny,what's wrong?" Danny asked,surprised at his friend's behavior.
"Jimmy, i almost killed Santa too. I almost got rid of every holiday because a devil kid took control of me and...augh!"
"Jen! Calm down!" Jimmy shouted.
Jenny turned and walked out of the room in response,leaving her friends confused.
"She just spouted a whole lot of weird…" Manny said to himself.
"I know right?" Timmy responded,upon hearing it.
"Wait,Morgan where are you-"
Before Timmy could finish,Morgan was out of the room like a bullet.
"Jenny! Where are you!?" the girl yelled down the hall.
"Morgan?" called a voice.
Morgan looked around frantically for the voice.
"I think i'm speaking through your pendent Morgan."
She looked down at it and saw a visualization across it like it was playing music.
"Jen? Where are you?"
"I'm the next room over. What is it?"
"Why'd you run off like that?"
"I feel guilty that's why!"
"How is what you did different from Jimmy or Timmy's actions? Besides that kid had control of you. Not like you wanted Santa dead. Come on out."
Jenny walked out into the hall as she was told,her ponytails against her head like a sad animal. Morgan's green eyes flashed with sympathy.
"Come on Jen. It's okay."
"If you say so. I still hate that i did that." she responded,sighing.
"Jen,you know that's normal right?"
Jenny smiled at the girl. She liked being called Normal.
After about a half hour,the Nicktoons got back together and started celebrating again.
"So,Jimmy? Why is the tree naked?" Manny asked,sipping egg nog.
"Well, that's why i told you to bring ornaments. We're going to decorate the tree with them and possibly more if i can find them. This place is kind of a mess."
"Your lab,really? No..." Timmy said,voice dripping with sarcasm.
Ignoring bucktooth's comment,he pulled out the ornament he gave him.
"Where'd you get that Jimmy? It looks cool." Morgan asked.
Jimmy pointed at the bucktoothed kid sitting next to her.
"Really? Aw Timmy."
"Hey! I only gave him that because i was supposed to! Don't get any ideas!"
Morgan chuckled at his antics and reached into the pocket of her purple jacket.
"I brought you guys something too."
Everyone went quiet as she pulled out five gems,all different colors. One was green,one was navy blue,one was pink,one was blue,and one was orange.
"My pendent can create gems remember? Here."
Jimmy got the navy blue one,Manny got the orange one (Reminding Morgan that she only made that one minutes ago upon realizing there wasn't one for him),Jenny got the blue one,Danny got the green one,and Timmy got the pink one.
"Hey Neutron? We gonna decorate this tree or what?"
"Go ahead,I'm not stopping you."
Timmy got up and walked over to tree,attempting to hang his bracelet.
"Ugh,you got a step stool or something Neutron?"
"Yeah,hold on I'll-woah!"
A burst of red light suddenly burst from Morgan. Ribbons of energy came out of her necklace's eyes and wrapped around her. Animal-like ears came out from under her hair and said hair extended and gained black and blue stripes. The magic around her then cracked and broke off,revealing her frilled black Siren wings and her new form.
"Whoa." everyone said.
She had a faint ruby glow around her and red mist seeped from behind her eyes.
"Come here Timmy. I'll help ya."
She walked over to the boy and picked him up. Timmy had no words. Her voice suddenly seemed so comforting to him and everyone else so he let her pick him up. She levitated higher to a place where Timmy could hang his ornament.
"Go ahead. I got you."
The boy smiled at the girl who was once his enemy. "I know you do."
He carefully placed a bracelet that meant a lot to him on a sturdy branch and as he did,it started to glow softly as well as the gems the other Nicktoons were holding. Jimmy studied his and got an idea.
"Guys,hand me your gems a second."
His friends didn't get it but did what was asked of them. Jimmy grabbed the tree star topper he had and grabbed some tools. The other watched him with curiosity while Morgan and Timmy levitated,still looking at the tree.
Grinning wider,Morgan removed her pendent and placed it on a branch next to Timmy. Removing it didn't revert Morgan to normal like she thought it would.
"Hm,i guess i just have to be close to it. Odd." she wondered aloud,setting Timmy down.
"Just saying Morgan,that power is wicked,when not being used to kill us."
Morgan chuckled. "Thank you Timmy."
"Done!" Jimmy shouted.
Everyone watched as he walked toward the tree.
"Hey Turner,mind giving me some assistance?"
Timmy shrugged. "Why not. Get on my shoulders dude."
Jimmy did just that but even then,they were still not tall enough to reach the top.
"Allow us."
The two boys turned and saw Danny "Go Ghost" and Jenny activate her boosters. Jimmy and Timmy grinned as they were lifted up by the two teens. Placing the star on top,Jimmy tossed down a plug.
"Manny,plug it into that outlet behind the tree."
Manny nodded and ducked under the tree. After a minute,he found the outlet and plugged it in. He crawled out from under the tree and the star shone with the colors of the gems Jimmy inserted into the star. Jenny,Danny,Jimmy,and Manny then put their ornaments up.
Manny put up a feather that was Tiger-striped.
Jenny put up a shining silver piece of metal.
Danny put up a black crescent moon and Jimmy put Timmy's gift up.
Admiring their craft,the six kids sat down next to each other smiling. Morgan had never felt such warmth in her heart and unknowing to her,the others were thinking the same thing. Morgan's pendent began to glow again as she started harmonizing a tune. Timmy leaned at her side.
"Morgan?"
"Yeah?"
"I forgive you."
