And so, the morning came after several hours. Christmas morning proved to be a sad one in Whoville because the Grinch had stolen their holiday cheer from them. Not to mention, he stole all their presents and decorations! But our main group still had a fair amount of holiday cheer to go around between them all.

"Felicity!" Zofia beamed. "You made it!"

"Bonjour." Felicity smiled to her family.

"Alright, Felicity!" LJ beamed.

"Joyeux Noël, ma famille." Felicity told them all.

"Thank you, Felicity," Zofia smiled. "Merry Christmas to you too."

"What she said!" LJ added.

"I've missed you all too..." Felicity smiled as she came to be with them before looking out the window. "Oh, that town does not look very happy this morning... I believe Christmas morning is the time for joy and good cheer for all."

"Sis, if you knew what happened, you'd be singing a different tune." LJ replied, as he explained what happened so far.

"So I see..." Felicity replied. "I am so sorry... I should had come sooner."

"It's alright," LJ replied. "You were busy, and you can't help that."

"I really was..." Felicity said. "I came as quickly as I could... Maman told me about your adventure with Pinocchio by the way, congratulations, my siblings."

"Thanks." LJ replied.

Felicity soon handed presents to her family. Akito, Estelle, and Vincent then came out, smiling to their cousin and she smiled back, also giving them their own gifts.

"Primo! Thanks, Felicity!" LJ beamed.

Felicity smiled to all of them as they thanked her. "You are all very welcome."

"Merry Christmas!" LJ beamed.

"Joyeux Noël." Felicity smiled back to them.

The kids soon sat down together and decided to open their presents from Felicity. Akito was given his very own junior detective kit, Estelle was given a new tutu for her ballet dancing, and Vincent was given new paint with all colors from the rainbow. LJ got some action figures, and Zofia got a book on fighting moves.

"Oh, Felicity, you're such a sweetheart." Cherry said to her daughter.

"I try my best, Mother." Felicity smiled.

"Well, you're doing great at it!" Lionel replied.

"Thank you." Felicity smiled to him.

"You're welcome, Felicity." Lionel replied warmly.

Felicity then handed them their own presents. Cherry soon oohed before opening hers to see that it was a tiny black box and inside there was a silver heart-shaped necklace.

"It looks awesome," Lionel replied. "I wonder what mine is...?" he wondered as he opened his.

Felicity smiled as she hoped that he would like it. It seemed to be a brand new, yet expensive watch.

"A watch! Aw... Thanks, Felicity!" Lionel beamed. "I know I can never replace your birth father, but I shall always consider you my daughter."

"Merci, Lionel," Felicity smiled. "You're like family to me as well."

"I'm sorry that time-space thingamajig wiped out your birth-father and brother..." Lionel continued. "But I'm glad it chose to spare you."

"Think nothing of it..." Felicity said softly as she rubbed her arm. "I miss Papa very much... He is my papa... But I am glad you are able to make my mother happy."

"Thank you." Lionel replied, hugging her warmly.

Felicity smiled as she hugged him back.

Cherry soon put on the necklace and seemed to like how it looked. "Fliss, where did you get these treasures anyway?" she then asked.

"I have been working in a factory so I could come up with enough money for everyone to be happy for Christmas this year." Felicity replied.

"Well, that's great." Lionel smiled.

"I'm glad I could help." Felicity said.

The kids soon looked out the window as Whoville found a way to cheer themselves up even if Christmas had been taken from them.

"Hey... They're all singing!" LJ noted.

"They seem to be happy now." Estelle added.

"It must be their Christmas spirit." Vincent guessed.

"Coming free from all those layers of commercialism." LJ added.

"Should we go out and join them?" Akito asked.

"Nah. This is their moment," LJ replied. "Plus, I'm not gonna go stand outside in the freezing cold just so I can hold hands and sing with people! I got holiday cheer, but I'm no idiot!"

"I think he takes after you in that, Mother." Felicity smirked playfully.

"You're funny." Cherry smirked back to her daughter.

"Either that, or common sense." LJ replied.

"Your parents should be here later." Cherry told the Fudo siblings.

"Oh... Okay... Um... Any new missions yet?" Akito asked.

"Not that I know of," Cherry replied. "You kids look like you could use some humor. How about the time I met Rocky and Bullwinkle?"

"Rocky and Bullwinkle?" The kids repeated.

"You mean those old cartoons from the 60's?" Vincent asked.

"Yep." Cherry smirked.

"I remember those guys," LJ replied. "That show was weird."

"And you met them?" Akito asked.

"Are you really doubting me after those stories your old man's told you about us meeting Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck?" Cherry teased.

"Believe me, there are A LOT of them," Lionel replied. "You're better off not questioning it."

"Fair enough," Akito replied. "I mean, my girlfriend is in charge of the Pokemon World since she's the princess."

"Speaking of which, I figure Penny Gadget and I could only be friends," LJ replied. "I mean, she's okay, but her uncle is completely incompetent. I'm surprised he hasn't killed anyone with those gadgets yet, and I don't wanna risk it."

"If you want," Akito shrugged. "I still think you should meet her. I'm sure you'd have a lot to talk about."

"Ah... Yes..." Felicity remarked. "Inspecteur Gadget."

"The guy is dangerously incompetent, not to mention he survives on pure luck alone," LJ replied. "If anything I'd be better off working with Teela."

"Whatever suits you," Estelle smiled. "We'll support you every step of the way. We're family."

"You are so Atticus's daughter." Cherry commented.

"I guess that isn't so bad." LJ replied as they saw the Grinch, on his huge sleigh, sliding down the mountain.

"I guess he's giving back Christmas now." Estelle guessed.

"Great," LJ sighed. "Everything worked itself out."

Cindy Lou and Euchariah soon smiled to each other and Cindy Lou gave him a kiss on the cheek as they were under the mistletoe while Martha May and the Grinch stood together.

"Well, for once things went right for the Grinch." Lionel commented.

"You kids must be proud of yourselves for having a happy ending with Whoville." Cherry said.

"Definitely," LJ replied. "Merry Christmas, Vince."

"Merry Christmas, LJ," Vincent smiled before looking to his younger twin siblings. "Merry Christmas, Akito and Estelle."

"Merry Christmas, Zofia," the twins replied. "And you too, Vincent."

"Merry Christmas to everyone!" Zofia beamed.

"And to all a good night!" Felicity giggled as she joined in.

And indeed, it was a Merry Christmas for everyone in Whoville... Even the Grinch, who got to carve the Roast Beast. Eventually, Atticus and Mo came over to see their children since it was Christmas Day.

"Uncle Atticus, Aunt Mo, Cousin Patch. Nice to see you again!" LJ beamed.

"Hey, kiddo!" Patch barked with a small smile.

"Great to have you all here for Christmas." Zofia smiled.

"I'm sure this'll be a great one with all of us together like one big happy family." Atticus smiled back.

"Mushy." Cherry muttered playfully.

"Sure, but it fits!" Lionel replied.

"Sure." Cherry smirked playfully.

"Same old Cherry." Atticus sighed, but laughed fondly.

"Wouldn't be Christmas without her." Patch added.

"At least it isn't Lucy van Pelt." LJ replied.

"Well, your mother's never called me a Blockhead before." Atticus smiled.

"Even though I'm certain she's thought it a good number of times," LJ replied. "But at least she's better than Lucy."

"Aw, you're all making me blush." Cherry smirked.

"Well, you deserve it." Lionel replied warmly.

The extended family soon joined together to have their own very Merry Christmas with the Whos in Whoville. And yeah... It was pretty darn great. Euchariah even got kissed by Cindy Lou under the mistletoe! Until next time, that seemed to be the end for another adventure complete to add to the collection of holiday treasures.

Till next time...

TH-TH-THAT'S ALL, FOLKS!
