Miles Morales was on his way home, just getting off of the subway and ended up getting a message from his mom asking him to pick up a few groceries for her. Except when he made it to the shop for the groceries, he got a text from Peter warning him the convoy's leaving earlier than they thought.
Miles quickly races into the alleyway and changes into his Ultimate Spider-Man suit and races to the convoy.
It looked as he was the first to make it to the rendezvous point Peter told him to meet him at as he looks around.
"Pete, you here?" Miles asks.
"Just downing some rocket fuel." Peter says as Miles looks to see him already there and drinking some coffee upside down.
"How...are you doing that?" Miles asks his teacher.
"Very, very carefully." Peter answers as they watch the convoy is on the move. "Let's head out." He tosses the coffee into a trash on the roof and swings off, followed by Miles.
The convoy is full of three different trucks of criminals, seven cop cars, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopter carrying a container underneath it.
"This...is a big operation." Miles comments.
"It's got to be." Peter says as he and Miles keep a small distance from the convoy. "Hundreds of felons escaped from the Raft last year when Fisk broke out the Sinister Six, now it's time to move them back in. Police aren't taking any chances. Especially with our guest of honor."
"One of the guys who helped Fisk is in there?" Miles asks, trying to keep up with Peter.
"Think so. Could be Doc Ock, could be Scorpion, could be..." Peter was listing when something smashed the wall inside the container. "Someone bigger." The rocking and crashing seemed to be too much as a line starts to break. "Okay, we've got a problem. Stay back, I'll-"
"I got this, Pete." Miles promises as he swings in.
"Miles, no!" Peter tries to stop him as Miles leaps onto the container and webs the line, strengthening it.
"It's secure!" Miles promises just as whatever is inside knocks Miles off and sends him flying off, causing his web to be entangled with the propeller. He was getting sucked into it when Peter came in and quickly grabbed him.
But he was not able to stop the helicopter as it starts to lose control and the spiders did their best to cushion it, but it doesn't do much as it crashes into the convoy, but they luckily don't bust open, so the inmates are still secure.
Miles and Peter quickly leaped down and saw luckily nobody was severely injured.
"Peter, I'm sorry, man." Miles quickly apologized.
"It's okay. We just need to contain it before..." Peter was saying when both of their senses went off and they looked to their giant friend in a box as the door goes swinging off. "Before that happens."
They then watched as the Rhino came stomping out of the container with gigantic handcuffs on his hands.
"Hello, tiny spiders." Rhino greeted the two of them as he spins around, causing his fists to hit the container and followed by his handcuffs coming off.
Rhino then charges at the two of them as Peter leaped onto his back. Miles got out of the way as Peter was dragged along as he goes on a rampage, smacking a police car and a convoy releasing inmates.
"Miles, I've got Rhino, but you've got to contain the escapees." Peter asked of Miles as he was fighting the inmates.
"Got it." Miles promised and went to work at fighting the escapees.
Peter quickly webbed ahead of them, but that didn't stop Rhino as he just charged through it and into several pillars.
Rhino then leaped outside where Peter saw Miles was taking care of the escapees, but that didn't stop as he charged and smacked another police car and charged at the nearby bank.
But instead of charging into it like Peter was expecting, he grabbed onto Peter and tossed him. But Peter was able to get back on his feet fast as he did a roll and landed back on his feet as Rhino came at him.
"Great arm, you ever pitch?" Peter asks as Rhino charged at him again, but he got out of the way of the charge and webbed onto his back. "Seriously, you're tripped A easy. Whole new career, just waiting for you!" He then was dragged inside as Rhino rammed into the nearby building.
Peter then finally let go of the webbing and tried his best to keep Rhino contained.
"How's the streets looking, Spider-Man?" Peter asks as he webbed a desk and tossed it at Miles.
"Honestly? Kinda terrifying." Miles confesses.
Peter then looked back as his senses went off as Rhino charges at him and the two crash through the wall again.
"Christmas in New York." Peter cheered as Rhino picked up a bench and tossed it to Peter who was standing on a traffic arrow and webbed the bench back and chased after him as he went into the building across the street as Peter leaped at him. "I love this town!"
Miles was still fighting off as some of the criminals got ahold of some of the guards' weapons and began shooting at him, causing him to dodge the bullets.
"Aleksei, favorite holiday music, nothing post-1965. Go!" Peter cried as Rhino tossed him through the wall, grunting as Peter got back to his feet and held him down. "Love that one! Mine's...fa-la-la-la-la-laaaa!"
Miles then noticed Peter was getting a bit exhausted as he finished the escapees and watched as Peter and Rhino took off down the street.
"Your holiday spirit's a little overzealous this year, Aleksei." Peter commented as he was about to run over one of the passers just as Peter leaped over and tackled him before Rhino could kill him.
Miles then looked to the other criminals getting away but saw Peter needed help with Rhino. "Peter, on a scale of 1-10, how are we doing?"
"10 for generating spectacle, 1 for minimizing destruction." Peter commented as he and Miles raced next to one another while Rhino jumped and tossed a sign at them. "Tomorrow's Bugle headline is going to be a doozy."
"Worse thing out of this is a bad headline? I'm a count us lucky." Miles commented as Rhino went charging through a building.
Inside the same building, Jameson was dressed like Santa Claus and was getting ready to start his show.
"He's a menace!" Jameson started off, trying to find the words. "Eh, too short. He's a low energy menace! Nah, too easy. Maybe, he's a weak minded-"
Rhino then came charging through while Peter and Miles were still chasing him.
"Hey, Jonah, looking good!" Miles complemented as he swung through the room.
"Very festive!" Peter also complemented as he gave the man a wave as he went after the other two.
"A MENACE! A FECKLESS, TREACHEROUS, UNHINGED MENACE!" Jameson cried in anger as he waved a fist in more anger. "Jared, he was right here!"
Peter made it close enough as he leaped onto Rhino's back, followed by Miles grabbing onto his back as well. "We gotta take him down."
"Yeah. What do we do?" Miles asks.
"Let us raise temperature!" Rhino declared as they looked and saw he was heading towards a warehouse with giant flammable gas containers.
"That's bad! Very bad!" Peter cried as he shot a web out to a fire hydrant as Miles shot a web at a parked car. Neither of the webbings did anything as Rhino charged through the gate and rammed the container, exploding.
Miles was sent flying into a tower and looked around to see Rhino running through the rest of the building and started to look around for Peter.
"Pete? You there?" Miles asks and quickly leaped down to find the two of them. Just then, his senses went off and he quickly leaped out of the way as Peter gets thrown through the wall and smashed into the electrical grid, causing Peter to cry in pain.
Miles looked shocked and quickly raced over towards Peter and tried to wake him up. "Pete?"
Rhino marched out and saw he defeated one version of Spider-Man and was left with the other one.
"This Spider-Man is broken, I would like to exchange for new one." Rhino stated and looked to Miles who turned towards him in anger as his mask's eyes turn into slits. "Ah, this one will do."
Miles grew in anger as he clenched his fists and got ready to strike him while his hands started sparking with electricity. "Bro...Back. the hell. OFFF!" He cried as Rhino came charging at him whilst Miles ran in and punched him, delivering a shock throughout his entire body, and sent Rhino falling with one strike. "What was that?" He asked as he looked at his fists and the downed Rhino.
Miles then changed his attention and ran towards Peter just as a S.H.I.E.L.D. team comes in on a Quinjet and Nick Fury was leading them.
"Spider-Man." Fury greeted the two of them while a medic team ran over to the original and gave him a quick once over and he was already healing. "See you've already had an eventful morning."
"Yeah, you could say that." Peter groaned out as he felt a rib was broken. "Thanks for the save back there, Miles." He thanked his friend and protégé.
"You two should get out of here before Jameson gets word of all of this." Fury warned them as a convoy arrived to get Rhino to the RAFT.
"Thanks, Fury." Peter said and gave him a salute before he and Miles took off and swung away.
"Bioelectricity." Peter commented on the new ability Miles appears to have on the edge of a building. "Wow. Gotta be honest, a little jealous."
"Hey, I've still got nothing on the OG." Miles informed Peter while they both had their masks off. "Think we can run some tests tomorrow? A little photon analysis?"
Peter then looked disgusted by something and realized he forgot to tell Miles his holiday plans. "Well, the thing is, I'm not gonna be around for the next few days."
Miles looked confused by that and didn't know if he was joking. "Is this type of Pete joke I don't get?"
"No, I'm actually going to be spending the holidays back in Arendelle with Elsa and her family." Peter explained to him. "After everything that went down recently with Battleworld, saving the multiverse, and I'm pretty sure I died for a quick second. After all of that, a normal relaxing Christmas is exactly what I need."
"Oh." Miles begins to understand. "Look, I don't know if I'm ready to fly solo. I screwed up with the helicopter."
"And then you made up for that by saving my bacon." Peter informed him.
"I got lucky." Miles stated as he looked down at his feet.
"Hey, I did this gig for eight years without backup, and you better believe I screwed up a ton of times." Peter stated before realizing the time. "Oh, shoot, I gotta get going to Arendelle. I'm already late for her party. But first, you've gotta take the oath." He then raised his hands in a web-shooting gesture that Miles repeated. "I promise to do everything in my power to protect this city."
"I promise." Miles repeated.
"That's it." Peter told him.
"Is that oath a real thing?" Miles gets a little suspicious.
"Totally. Decently didn't just make it up." Peter promised with a smile as he got up and faced the city. "See you in a few days, Spider-Man." He then placed on his mask and walked towards the edge. "New York's only Spider-Man." He then dropped off, leaving Miles, and swung off towards the Avengers Tower so that he can make it to Arendelle.
"I'm New York's Spider-Man." Miles whispered to himself.
Back in Arendelle, Elsa was sitting in a chair in Peter's lab, looking at her father's old pocket watch as the portal activated. Elsa smiling while humming 'Part of your World' as she stood up and waited for Peter to come through.
Peter then finally came leaping through right into the lab to see Elsa was waiting for him. "Elsa! I'm so sorry I'm late, Rhino got free and the convoy-"
"Oh, don't apologize. You're not late...in fact, you're early." Elsa assured him with a smile as she stopped his rambling and removed his mask before pecking his cheek.
Peter stared in shock, confused by what she means. "Huh?" He looked very confused as he pulled out his phone and looked at the time. "But you said I was supposed to be back an hour ago."
"I did..." Elsa smiled, waiting for him to get it.
Peter looked confused as she giggled at his reaction and wonders if he's ever going to get it. Just as he was about to question her, his eyes widened as he realized what she was saying. "You gave me the wrong time on purpose!?"
Elsa giggled at his sudden burst of understanding. "Well, I knew if I gave you the actual time, you'd be late. I wouldn't blame you for it, but I really need you here for this."
"...So instead you gave me the wrong time, so I'd actually show up on time for once." Peter realized and laughed a little at her genius. "You're brilliant."
"I know." Elsa smiled modestly as she shrugged and then handed him some clothes. "Now put these on."
Peter quickly put the on the new clothes over his costume as he then noticed Elsa's new dress.
Elsa wears a midnight blue off-the-shoulder sleeved gown that incorporates her signature Snow Queen style. The dress has a velvety texture though it has a large fur collar with small stones inside, and a small V-shaped cut at the center that exposes a purple undershirt. Fitting her regal status, it features a transparent blue cape, but this one is slightly less transparent than the previous capes. She wears dark blue ice kitten heels, similar to her first Snow Queen outfit. On the chest, cape, and rims of the outfit are diamond-shaped crystals scattered across, with some forming the lower half of her Snowflake emblem on the neckline and a larger pattern on the back of the cape. She wears a small winter berry wreath-pin in her hair.
"Did you make another ice dress?" Peter asked her.
Elsa smiled shyly as she spun around to show off the full dress. "Do you like it?"
"Oh yeah! You look great...it's very...fluffy!" He stated earning a giggle from his royal girlfriend. "And different. Which is exactly what I could use after everything that went down on Battleworld."
Elsa giggled to herself at his comment. "Just help us get ready before the party. This is a really big day for Arendelle, and for us."
As Peter put on his new suit, he looked a little confused. "Okay, I get Arendelle, but why us?"
"It's our first holiday together." Elsa reminded him.
"Oh, yeah, I guess it is. Sorry, after Battleworld, my mind got a whole lot crazier." Peter apologizes as he fixed his tie.
"Yeah, it was weirder for me, seeing half a dozen versions of my boyfriend dating other people." Elsa agreed.
"Yeah, it was weirder for me." Peter agrees with her there. "Another universe where I'm dating someone like you who has your sheepish personality, but another side has snarky side with the same powers. And another that could obliterate the planet. And another that's apparently got a 'will they-won't they' thing going on with a girl carrying a magic stick...okay, why don't you stop me from talking sometimes?"
After that, Peter took Elsa's hand as she remembered something important. "Oh and be prepared for Olaf. He's been jumping ahead of schedule."
"Why am I not surprised?" Peter smiled in amusement.
Just as they opened the door to the labs, Olaf leaped in with a smile. "Surprise!"
"Not yet, Olaf..." Peter and Elsa replied together as they chuckled.
Peter smiled with a sigh and wrapped a hand around Elsa's shoulder. "Let's see, I got the perfect girlfriend who thinks ten steps ahead, her sister approves of me, Kristoff, Sven, Olaf and I are cool, all my baddies are either in prison or keeping quiet, no Avengers duties happening, Madame Web hasn't shown up or any alternate versions of me. Maybe this year I finally get a normal Christmas."
The three of them then strolled out of the labs as Peter locked the doors.
The very next day, everyone was decorating the castle, preparing for Christmas. Kai was about to put ornaments on one of the Christmas trees when Olaf popped out startling Kai, "Surprise!"
He stood back up and chuckled, "Not yet, Olaf."
A while later, a set of maids we're walking down the hall, carrying a huge pile of plates when Olaf and the hid in a suit of armor ready to jump.
Olaf popped out from one the helmets, making the maids gasp nearly dropping the plates. "Surprise!"
They smiled in amusement, "Not yet, Olaf." They said then went back to their duties.
As Gerda was place the Christmas presents for tomorrow, Peter walked by when he noticed the next present she was carrying was particular Olaf shaped.
Peter sighed as he sighed to himself while rubbing his temple, "How'd he manage to pull that one off?" He questioned and quickly took the present from Gerda, "Hey, Gerda, I'll handle the rest of the presents from here."
"Thank you, Mr. Parker. I believe our Queen made the right choice with you..." She nodded with gratitude before moving on to her other duties.
Peter chuckled as he turned to what he believed to be Olaf, "Olaf, really? All the lengths to wrap yourself to give us a-"
"Surprise!" Olaf jumped behind Peter making him shriek and fell over onto the pile of presents.
Dumbfounded as he was, Peter sighed and crawled out. "Not yet, Olaf." Before Olaf could leave, Peter had to ask something, "Hey, Olaf..."
Olaf turned around, "Yeah, Peter?"
"What's this?" Peter held out the Olaf shaped present.
"Oh, something that was on that giant floating ship that was here with your brothers." Olaf explained.
"Brothers?" Peter asked.
"All those people who look like you." Olaf exclaimed.
"Oh, you mean my doppelgängers." Peter understood as Olaf smiled and walked off.
As Elsa walked through, the hallway she noticed Peter lying on the ground and gasped, "Peter?! Are you alright?"
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm good..." Peter reassured her as she helped him up. "Olaf just got the jump on me." He gestured her to the present.
"You thought that was Olaf when the real one showed up?" Elsa took the wild guess.
"Yeah..." Peter sheepishly nodded.
"Shouldn't your Spider Sense warn you of this sort of thing?" Elsa questioned.
Peter raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Really? You think Olaf will ever be a threat worthy to set it off?"
"Good point..." Elsa giggled.
"Once we're done here, we should probably tell what time it's starts." Peter pointed out. "If he could tell time...when he's still learning how to read...and spell..."
Elsa sheepishly nodded as she recalled that piece of information, "Yeah...we should probably add that to the things we need to teach him."
Meanwhile, Anna was walking down the hall, marveling at all the decorations that had appeared practically overnight. She reached the ballroom door and peeked inside.
Gasping in amazement she entered, and as she walked by the cake, and looked shocked.
"Hello." Anna greeted it as she reached out for one when Olaf revealed himself inside of it.
"Surprise!" he exclaimed, jumping out of the cake, causing all its pieces to fly everywhere while Olaf's head flew off and Anna managed to catch it.
"Olaf! Not yet." Anna laughed at the head.
"Anna's right, Olaf. Our surprise holiday party doesn't start until after the Jul Bell rings." Elsa explained from the stairway as she waved some magical snow touches onto the already decorated stairs with Peter by her side.
"Sorry, the suspense is tearing me apart." Olaf apologized as Anna was putting him back together.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the whole kingdom knows that by now." Peter chuckled.
Elsa playfully shoved him, "Peter..."
"I'm excited too Olaf, this is Arendelle's first Christmas in forever!" Anna declared happily as she turned the snowman to face her, and Elsa removed the tiny flag from his head.
"The first of many to come." Elsa added.
Just then, Anna noticed people beginning to arrive in the courtyard, and running to the window.
"Elsa, look! They're arriving!" Anna cheered in joy as the room filled with music.
"Oh, the singing is back. I missed you in your three hour absence." Peter sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Even my doppelgängers found this weird. And they hang out with dragons."
Elsa rolls her eyes at him and walked over to her sister.
"Look at them, they don't realize." Anna sang.
"What?!" Olaf gasped.
As Anna nodded towards the ballroom, they noticed the servants beginning to bring in the rest of the food and decorations for the party.
"We planned a party as a big surprise. Soon the ballroom will echo with sounds of cheer. As we ring in the season this year..." Anna went to ring three small bells sitting on the table, prompting Olaf to play with them. He couldn't play them as well as Anna could, but he still had fun.
Then Elsa began to sing, as they all walked over to a wall covered in wreaths. "This is overdue. Gotta look our best..."
As Elsa pinned a leaf from one of the wreaths on Olaf, like a bowtie, and was so happy with it. "Ooh! I've never been so nicely dressed."
Elsa turned to Peter as she continued to sing, "We'll be hosting and toasting the whole night through." Peter and Elsa smiled at each other as they took each other's hands, "As we ring in the season with you."
As, they let go, Olaf was so excited at this point. It appeared Anna and Elsa were too, as they grabbed each other's hands and began to spin around the ballroom.
Peter smiled to see how far they come to fixing their relationship as sisters.
A few minutes later, the four was back by the food, helping to finish decorating the cakes.
Anna had the job of sprinkling sugar on the gingerbread castle. Peter helped with the frosting, properly the only thing he could do right, considering he burns everything else.
"It's the first Christmas in forever." Anna sang.
"Since we opened up the gate..." Elsa continued for her sister. She then noticed the gingerbread castle's gates weren't open, so she opened them.
Noticing it was time for the party to begin, the four headed toward the castle doors.
"And it's the first Christmas I remember to date..." Anna sang as they open the doors while the sisters sang together.
"And it's already worth the wait!" Elsa and Anna sang together.
The people cheered for the royals and the holidays. Peter looked around for his friends he invited as the sister's sang, "Look at all the joy..."
"All the joy..."
"And it's everywhere..." Elsa and Anna continued to sing as the people sang
"Everywhere!" Waving to the crowd and having them wave back made Elsa's next line ring with truth.
"I feel the Christmas spirit in the air!"
"Feel the spirit..." The people sand along.
The girls began to walk forward in unison as they continued to sing. "And the party will start at the strike of noon. And we'll ring in the season so soon."
Just then, the crowd started to part, and a familiar reindeer and ice harvester became visible. Behind them was the shining Jul bell, ready to be hung in the clock tower for the duration of the holidays.
Olaf was so happy he just had to beam, "Hey! It's Kristoff and Sven! And the Jule bell!" He then paused in confusion. "Why am I so excited about that?"
"If I recall, the Jule bell signals the start of the holidays in Arendelle." Peter explained to the snowman.
Elsa smiled as she turned to them. "Peter's right, Olaf..." She gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the check as Olaf nodded understandably.
The townspeople worked together with Kristoff and Sven, and the bell started to be hoisted up into the air. Everyone from the smallest child, to Olaf, to the New York hero, and to the Queen watched in amazement.
"And it's almost time to ring the bell. We'll hear it chime through Arendelle!" The sister sang as Peter just watched and was surprised these people actually pulled that bell on their own. And this is a yearly thing for them.
"It's finally here and it's happening fast..." Elsa sang.
"We'll make up for all we have missed in the past." Anna continued.
Together they held the rope as they sang the last of it, "It's time to celebrate. As we ring in the season at last!"
And together, the two sisters pulled the Jul bells string hard just as the clock strikes noon.
The bells chime could be heard throughout the entire village, and everyone rejoiced. After years of waiting, the entire kingdom finally heard the words that hadn't been spoken by a monarch in the kingdom in years.
"Let the holidays begin!" Elsa declared to the kingdom
The girls and Peter looked at Olaf, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Okay, Now!"
Olaf turned around and beamed, "Surprise!"
But as the jolly snowman finally yelled "surprise," the thing that he had been waiting to do all day, everyone was leaving.
The girls ran out into the crowd as Peter sighed and knew how it was gonna end. "Oh boy..."
