Chapter 757.
"Another Christmas Day."

(December 25. Loud-Lewis Mansion.)

This is where the Louds are gonna be for a while, and also with them are the Rosato's and all of them enjoy opening the presents they got from their parents and the presents they got for each other and so let us see the exchange gift crew.

Lori to Lisa, Lisa to Lucy, Lucy to Luna, Luna to Lincoln, Lincoln to Ryan, Ryan to Leni, Leni to Jordan, Jordan to Lynn Jr, Lynn Jr to Lola, Lola to Lily, Lily to Lana, Lana to Luan, Luan to Taylor and Taylor to Lori. Rita, Lynn Sr, Michelle, Rick and Jesse watch as they all exchange their gifts and also see the mysterious gifts from the other world.

Lisa is still kinda confused. "Still odd that the Santa from the other world did this and I know it was another world Santa, for we have no Santa in our dimension."

Lana then opens her present from Lily. "No kidding, sure wish we could see what this Santa Claus looks like, I bet he looks so awesome!"

Lola also agrees as she puts on her new tiara and sees her new dress that Lynn got her. "Well, you can think of how awesome he is, I just wanna see the place where Santa works, and I bet it is a fancy looking ice castle, or palace."

Taylor smirks. "We all don't think so, he makes toys and other stuff so obviously it is a workshop."

Luan chuckles. "Then perhaps he is working the shop to make it all as merry as a Christmas morning, otherwise it'll be a coal night for everyone and a not so jolly coal-cold morning for everyone." She laughs at her own pun and so does Lynn Sr.

They all proceed to open their gifts and even the gifts they're parents got for them and the eagles also have some gifts from the others, and even Butterfree and Litwick. They even check the other gifts which the other world Santa brought for them. Then Lincoln wonders. "Hey guys, do you all wonder what's going on with Leslie and her first ever Christmas morning with her new family?"

Jordan smiles and she kisses his cheek. "Well, I think she must be having an awesome Christmas morning, and possibly she'd wanna spend some time indoors with her own family. But there is one thing we gotta do, spend some time with her soon, and also see if our friends are fine with her."

"No kidding there, Jordan" replied Luna, she then sits by them and so does Leni. "I mean, they might not like her after all she has done, but they need to try and give her the chance to gain some forgiveness and trust, she has been through a lot and we all trust her now, right?"

The others don't seem to respond and most of them seem nervous to even say something and Lincoln can tell that this is a hard road for Leslie to take and that she has to try and do something to be trusted and forgiven, even after all she has done.

'I can't believe I am saying this. But don't worry Leslie, throughout this new change you are gonna go through, we got your back and we're all friends here. Jordan, Delilah and I will help you, and you will make some new friends. We promise, and we will help you with your life coming, the life within.'

(The S. Silver Residence.)

We now head to the place where the S. Silver reside and this is the first ever not so rich and mean Christmas for their newest member, Leslie S. Silver and she comes down the stairs and she sees Delilah is waiting for her. "Wait, why didn't you guys wake me up?" She also sees her parents also waiting.

Harvey then speaks. "Well, you seemed to be sleeping quite peacefully and we went inside to wake you up, but then we chose to let you sleep a little longer. You earned it after all."

Helena is the next to speak. "While you were sleeping, we were talking about something that we can tell you later, for now check out the gifts you girls got." Leslie nods and she goes to the Christmas tree and with Delilah they check out the presents they got, but Leslie notices that there aren't much for her and she questions that, but she decides not to.

Delilah on the other hand notices this. Leslie and Delilah got some gifts from their parents, and Delilah got a gift for Leslie, but Delilah also got some gifts from her friends and an extra one from the other world Santa and she doesn't even know that one. Delilah sighs and she goes over to Leslie. "Sorry that you don't have much presents."

Leslie nods. "No, no. It's alright, I know I don't deserve much after what I have done to this town and the good folks, and I am surprised that I got some gifts from Lincoln Loud and Jordan Rosato, and some other gifts from Hope, Regina, Chastity, Gretchen and... Wait, Ryan Rosato? Okay then, and some presents from Luna Loud and Sam Sharp."

Harvey notices this as well. "That means they care about you, but the others are having a hard time trying to accept you being back in town and changed, but we know you can prove to them that you have changed."

Helene also agrees. "The help from those who trust you will do the trick. They wanna show everyone that you are not the same Leslie Silver, and that you are changing for the better and of course we are here for you, all of us."

Delilah nods and sees something going towards them. "And that means that guy too." Leslie turns around and she sees that the Stunky that Delilah once had is gone, and now it is a Skuntank.

Skuntank.
The Skunk Pokémon. Poison and Dark Type.
It sprays a vile-smelling fluid from the tip of its tail to attack. Its range is over 160 feet. It sprays a stinky fluid from its tail. The fluid smells worse the longer it is allowed to fester. In its belly, it reserves stinky fluid that it shoots from its tail during battle. As this Pokémon's diet varies, so does the stench of its fluid.

It digs holes in the ground to make its nest. The stench of the fluid it lets fly from the tip of its tail is extremely potent. The smell it makes is far worse than a Stunky or beyond a common skunk. They evolve from Stunky, and are quite territorial to where they reside and to the trainer they are with.

Leslie smiles seeing the Skuntank and she pets his head. "He's cute when he's like this." The Skuntank then sniffs her and sleeps behind her, and she leans back and she rests on his warm fur as if he is a pillow. "I didn't think these creatures were like this and nice, I guess I was a horrible person to not notice."

Delilah smiles. "Well, you're not the same Leslie anymore and so Skuntank here trusts you. Also, if you want sis, we can bring you to the Park's today and we can show you the other Pokémon and we'll make sure you don't get hurt. Skuntank and I with the others will make sure of that one."

Leslie smiles. "That does sound..." She then sees something outside the window resting on piles of snow, and she seems afraid. "What is that thing doing here?!" They look out the living room window and to the front yard and what they see is none other than a very familiar Abomasnow.

Abomasnow.
The Frost Tree Pokémon. Grass and Ice Type.
It whips up blizzards in mountains that are always buried in snow. It is the abominable snowman. It is also known as "The Ice Monster." They appear when the snow flowers bloom. When the petals fall, they retreat to places unknown again.

If it sees any packs of Darumaka going after Snover, it chases them off, swinging its sizable arms like hammers. Because of their ability to cause blizzards, the shake of its massive body is enough to cause whiteout conditions. They evolve from Snover.

Delilah is confused and then she sees why that thing is there. 'Right, during the time of Leslie being in Royal Woods, she would always run into that Abomasnow and he would get angry and scare her off, but she is changed and that thing being here... That is not good!'

Leslie still doesn't feel alright with that thing out there, and she seems a bit afraid and then she looks to Delilah and her parents. "Guys, can I stay inside for the whole day? I don't wanna go outside, yet. Not yet."

Harvey and Helena nod, and they watch as Leslie goes up the stairs and into her bedroom, and so Helena and Harvey follow to see if she is gonna be alright, and they have something to tell her about what they were talking about, and that something is the funeral date of her parents who died.

Delilah then gets up and she has a serious look and she sees Skuntank get up and is also serious and they both nod. "Skuntank, we got an Abomasnow to get outta here." Skuntank nods and they leave from the house to face off and get the Abomasnow out of the area, for Delilah's little sister Leslie.

To be continued in the next chapter.

A/N: A good day of a Christmas morning, and it seems like Leslie S. Silver is still trying to get used to this change, will she be able to be trusted and forgiven by the others in Royal Woods? I guess we're gonna have to find out soon. Leave a review and tell me what you all think everyone.

Next chapter will be posted on December 28.

Merry Christmas Guys.
