Chapter 1

SpongeBob, a Grimer, slid in the hall to have a peek outside of his master's window. It was a snowy December day outside with a blanket of snow. The window was so foggy that SpongeBob had to defog it by blowing it away. He looked out of it, hoping to see his master, Stitch.

"Is he out there?" Asked a baby Kangaskhan, Poof. "Do you see them? Do you?"

"We searched every corner of the castle." Wanda, the mother Kangaskan, said.

"I have a sinking feeling that they're not here at all." Wade, a Charmander, observed. Poof was disappointed.

"But he has to be somewhere!"

"There he is!" An excited SpongeBob spoke up. Everyone looked outside, and they did indeed see their master, Stitch, outside, trying to iceskate.

"Aw, how wonderful!" Wanda observed.

"We have to figure out a way to get them together." Wade said.

"And we will." SpongeBob promised, and they all ran off.

"Is she the one?" A curious little Poof wanted to know. "You know, the chosen one to break the spell, thus setting us all free so we can be in our normal bodies again? I want to be a real fairy boy again."

"And you will." SpongeBob assured him. "I had no doubt since I first laid my eyes on her."

"Wait for me!" Wade called after them, rushing to catch up.

They all met Lilo by the stairs.

"Aloha, Lilo!" Poof greeted her.

"Aloha, Poof." The little Hawaiian girl greeted back. "And how are you?"

"I'm good. How are you?"

"Good. Do you know what today is?" Poof thought about this. He shook his head.

"Other then it being Monday, I have no idea." Lilo laughed at this, which confused Poof even more. "What?"

"It's Christmas Eve, which means tomorrow's Christmas Day." This cheered the boy right up, even though he didn't know what she meant.

"Ah, yes, Christmas; of course. I love Christmas!"

"Of course you do; who doesn't? Am I right? The holiday seems to be filled with magic; that's why it's the author's favorite holiday out of the entire year."

"You're right!" Lilo laughed again.

"It's a beautiful day for a walk." Wanda said.

"And ice skating!" Poof added. "That's what the master is doing right now, or trying to anyways, but he's not too good at it. You should help him out!"

"Maybe I will." The little girl said.

"Ah, right!" Poof cheered. "Let's go!" And with that, they all went towards the door. Lilo got her coat, slippers, and mittens. And with that, they all went outside.

"Aloha, Stitch!" Lilo greeted him once she was outside. SpongeBob and the other servants went to watch. Stitch looked up at her, smiled, and waved at her.

"Aloha, Lilo!" The blue alien greeted back. He took a step on the ice, slipped, and fell on his face. Lilo gasped. She slid over to him.

"Are you alright? Here, let me help you." She was about to do just that when Stitch stopped her by standing up.

"I can do it." He slipped again. Again, Lilo tried to help him up when he stopped her by standing up yet again. This happened again and again. Wade did a facepalm.

"This is hard to watch." He commented. Poof laughed.

"He keeps falling down again and again, Mama!" He observed. His mom glared at her son. This made him stop.

"He's trying his best, Poof.'" She scolded. "It's not nice to laugh and enjoy others' pain."

"Yes, Mama." He responded. "Sorry, but I can't help it. It's just that he keeps falling on his face which makes it..." Poof looked at his mother's glare again. He stopped again. "Sorry." They all looked at their master and the little girl again.

"Shoota!" Stitch cursed as he fell for the fifth time.

"I'm going to help you." She declared. "Whether you like it or not." She helped him up, and he let her.

"Slippery."

"Yes. It's ice. Ice can be very slippery."

"Can't skate. Stupid idea. Gonna go back." He was about to when Lilo stopped him.

"I'll help you." And with that, she skated by herself. "See? Once you get used to it, it's no problem."

"Okay." Stitch tried himself. As he was about to fall, Lilo grabbed him. "Let's do it together." They skated together. "One, two, three. One, two, three." Everyone cheered at this.

"They're bonding!" Poof said with glee.

"Yes, Poof." Wanda agreed. "It is wonderful."

"It's working!" SpongeBob added. "And you know what that means!"

"The spell will break!" Poof replied. Wade looked at the boy.

"Exactly." He responded.

In a dark room of the castle, an Exploud was singing a song to a Buizel. The weasel, sea otter Pokémon plugged his ears if he had any due to the noice. When he was done, the Two-Tails Weasel Pokémon applauded.

"Bravo, Sideshow Bob!" He cheered in a French accent. "That was magnifique!"

"Yes, yes," Sideshow Bob said. "It was magnificent, wasn't it, Antoine?

"Can I sing too? We could do a duet."

"I'll think about it. Now, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh, most certainly! Anything for you, monsieur"

"I thought I heard merriment outside. Can you have a look?"

"Right away, monsieur." And with that, he looked out of the window, and smiled as he saw Stitch skating. "Well, would you look at that! The master is ice skating, and the petite girl is helping him. How sweet, they're bonding. And you know what that means!" Sideshow Bob groaned with an eye roll.

"Yes, we all turn normal again. Whoopee!" Antoine knew Sideshow Bob's disinterest in turning back into their normal bodies again, but never understood why. "Normal is just overrated. I mean, if you really think about it, what is normal? Do me another favor, and split them up, won't you?" Antoine was about to add something when Sideshow Bob spoke again. "And if you want that duet, you'll do what I say, Capisce?" Antoine sighed.

"Capisce." Sideshow Bob smiled.

"That's a good Antoine. Now, go out there, and don't let me down or else."

"I hear you, and I will. Don't you worry." And with that, he went outside.

Back on the ice pond, Stitch was skating by himself again. He laughed with joy.

"This easy!" He declared.

"See?" Lilo told him. "I told you you'd do good if you get used to it. You just need a lot of practice, and you're good to go. Practice makes perfect." Antoine made his way outside.

"I see it now!" SpongeBob observed. "Pretty soon, those two will be the best of friends!"

"I can't wait!" Poof said with joy. "It'll be a miracle!"

"Yes," Wade agreed. "It'll be a miracle indeed."

"But, remember one step at a time." Wanda reminded them. "They can't become best of friends overnight." Poof looked at his mom.

"But it'll still be a great miracle. We can see Papa again! Remember, Papa?"

"I do, and Timmy, Sparky, and Chloe. But regardless what happens, tomorrow will come and go."

"You're just a killjoy sometimes, Mom. You just have to have hope and believe."

"I do. I'm just stating the facts, sweetheart."

"Alright, the facts are a killjoy then." Wanda didn't respond.

"I have to do something to break them up." Antoine said as he watched Stitch and Lilo get closer. "But what?" He hatched an idea. "Aha; that's it!" With that, he ran towards the ice pond. Wanda noticed this.

"Now, what is that transformed coyote doing?" Wanda asked out loud.

"What does it look like Mama?" Poof questioned. "He's going to skate."

"Without skates? Does he know how? I don't think I've seen him skate since I've known him." Poof shrugged.

"Maybe he'll ask Lilo to teach him, or it's a secret talent he has."

Antoine slid onto the ice, and bumped into Lilo and Stitch who both went tumbling into the snow bank. Everyone who watched on the sidelines gasped. Antoine saw this.

"Wow!" He observed to himself. "I never intended that to happen. It was just a happy accident."

"I don't know why." Poof stated. "But I feel he did that on purpose, but why?"

Stitch spat out the snow from his mouth. Lilo just laughed, and made a snow angel in the snow. She showed Stitch.

"What do you think of my creation, Stitch? It's a snow angel." Stitch got up, and looked at his.

"Mine is only monster like me." He said, growling. "I know Angel, and this not her." He stomped all over his, messing it up. Lilo felt sorry for him as he watched him go. The little girl sighed as she plopped herself down in her angel outline. The other Pokémon went over to her. She looked at them, shaking her head.

"I don't know what to do, guys. I think he's worse then ever somehow."

"You have to have hope and believe, sweetie." Wanda told her.

"That's what I said." Poof put in. Wanda smiled at him.

' "And you're so right on that, Poof." Poof felt proud of himself.

"You bet your booty I'm right. I'm right all the time...except when I'm not."

"You got that right." Wade complimented.

"I would be mad, but you're right."

Antoine rubbed his hands together with an evil grin.

"Sideshow Bob will be so happy with me. I still don't get his reason for not wanting to go back, I mean, who doesn't want to go back into their old happy self again, but oh well! I'll do anything to please him, and for that duet he promised." He went inside to tell Sideshow Bob about his success.

Later that day, Stitch was pacing the room where Sideshow Bob was in.

"I hate Christmas." The alien said, crossly.

"I know you do." Sideshow Bob said to him. "After all it has done to us. Well, it didn't do anything for it's just a day, but let's blame it anyways. I'm here to help, my friend."

"Thanks. You true friend. Don't know what to do without you." Sideshow Bob smiled.

"Anytime, my friend."

Lilo and Poof were walking together in the hallway.

"I have to ask," Lilo said to Poof. "Why is your master such a grouch and a killjoy?" Poof shrugged.

"He's always been like this."

"Even at Christmas?"

"Yup, even at Christmas." The baby Kangaskhan was then confused. "Now I have to ask Lilo, what's Christmas?" Lilo was taken aback by the child's lack of Christmas knowledge.

"What? You have to be kidding! You have to know, mainly everybody does, even Christmas haters, and people who don't celebrate Christmas know about this holiday." Poof shook his head.

"Not me." Lilo felt sorry for him.

"That's sad that a child doesn't know about the best holiday of the year. Santa Clause, gingerbread, garlands, good will towards men, carols, presents." Poof cheered up about this.

"Presents?" Lilo nodded, happy that she got him sucked in.

"Yup, lots and lots of presents. Everyone gets one...if you're nice that is."

"Then I guess the master won't get one."

"I don't know about that. It'll be a Christmas miracle to turn him around; maybe a present will be good for him."

"What will you get him then?"

"I don't know. I don't know him that well yet."

"Oh. What will you want then?"

"A story would be nice." This gave Poof an idea.

"Then why don't you give him one?" Lilo thought about this.

"That's not a bad idea, Poof. I'll do it!" And with that, she began to sing.

"Until I get to know him." She began singing as she sat down to write him a short story. "Yes, the real him. I'll read him stories of heroes who get all of their glories. I'll include sponges to a bear and bird. To understand him, he must be heard. Talking fishes, fairies that grant wishes. Exotic places. Warm feelings for him to embrace. Spooky ones starting with a flesh- eating plant. Holiday ones filled with enchants. Parodies, ones with melodies. Mix-ups, stories with cute pups. Talking skeletons. More stories? I got tons! Him, I'll laugh and play with. I'm Lilo, and I want him to be my Stitch. Memories we'll make and share. Together, we'll always care. That's what'll happen when I get to know him. That's what will happen when I get to know himmmmmmmmmmm."

"So, will he like it?" Poof asked as soon as she was done with both her song and story. "It's amazing that you got done with your story after one little song, unrealistic."

"I know he will, and yes, it is, but it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

"How?"

"It just was. Anyways, my story is so heartwarming that'll it'll thaw even the coldest of hearts."

"It better. His heart is so cold that's it frozen, so it needs some thawing." Lilo smiled. Poof smiled back.

"Does this mean we're getting a Christmas this year?" Lilo nodded.

"Of course." Poof cheered.

"Absolutely not!" Wade told them in the kitchen. With them were Wanda, a Munchlax Kirby, SpongeBob, and three Mime Jrs. Everyone whined with disappointed.

"Why not?" Lilo wanted to know. Wade looked at her.

"The master has forbidden it, that's why." Lilo gasped, not believing what she was hearing.

"But no one can forbid it." Antoine stood behind the wall to eavesdrop.

"The master can, and what he says, goes. I don't want to disappoint him, and remind him of our horrible past."

"But I truly think celebrating Christmas will do him some good."

"Yeah!" The three Mime Jrs all chimed in together. Wade shook his head.

"Sorry." He apologized. "I don't want this either, but I must be strong, and put my foot down. Celebrating Christmas is out of the question, and you can't do anything to change my mind."

"It's not fair!" Poof said with a pouty face. Kirby was pouty face too.

"I agree." Wanda agreed. "I think we should celebrate. What happened all of those years ago wasn't our faults. We shouldn't have to suffer."

"Hey, yeah!" SpongeBob put in. "We're innocent."

"Completely innocent!" The Mime Jrs all chorused. Kirby nodded with agreement, even though he had no clue what was said.

"We used to go all out on Christmas." Wanda stated. "We used to have a big feast at the castle on Christmas Day."

"I remember that!" The sponge turned Grimer remembered. He looked at Wade. "You remember Wade. You loved it just like us. All of the food. Pies, turkey..." Wade stared to water at the mouth over this, so did Kirby.

"Cookies!" Poof added. "Don't forget about the cookies; especially the unbaked cookie dough."

"Which is not good for you." Wanda pointed out. Poof looked at her.

"Don't be a killjoy, Mama."

"Gravy, Christmas pudding," SpongeBob continued.

"Christmas pudding?" Wade questioned. "Yum!" He then sighed. "Alright, I guess we're celebrating Christmas after all then." Everyone cheered.

"That's the Christmas spirit!" SpongeBob said to him, slapping him on the back. "Now hurry, there's so much to do to get ready. Christmas is tomorrow you know. I can't wait! This'll be like the very first Christmas to me!"

"And me!" Poof added. "As well as Mama, and everybody else!"

"Right!"

"If the master finds out, he'll be so mad." Wade pointed out. "So let's keep quiet about this."

"I'll cook the dinner." Wanda volunteered.

"We need to brighten up the place." Lilo said. "Right now, this place doesn't look so cheery. It looks sad."

"I know someone who can help." SpongeBob told her. "Follow me, in the attic. Come on."

"I'm coming too." Poof added.

"Poyo!" Kirby put in, going after them. Lilo looked at Wanda.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

"I trust you dear." Wanda responded. And with that, they were off. Antoine followed them, knowing Sideshow Bob won't approve of this, and wanted him to investigate even further, also Stitch won't approve either. This will be the best Christmas that SpongeBob and the others had in years!
