Christmas Chaos!

Author's Note: I need some ideas for soldiers at Malibu Base, the future headquarters of the West Coast Misfits! Any ideas for characters are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

To Red Witch: Here's some more insanity for you!

To Rogue Fan KC: Yeah, Paul's really cool. He never really meant to make the X-Boys mad at him in the first place anyway. Here, Paul gives his other presents to the X-Boys. Thanks for reading! Hope you like this chapter!

To Wizard1: Well, to Jake, wrestlers are a part of his family. He grew up with 'em! A brawl might break out. Who knows? Here's some more madness for you! Enjoy!

To torque: Sorry. I can't help it, dude. You seem to be doing a good job of keeping up so far. Scotty gets his gift here. BTW, Scott can't blow his hand off with his optic beams. His body is immune to his optic blasts. I think Havok is immune as well. And I also think his eyes are green. Your idea with Dr. Rankin and the Mimic sounds interesting. Maybe I will add Dr. Rankin to the Institute staff. Who knows.

To Sparky Genocide: Well, here's some more madness for you. As well as a special surprise. Enjoy! BTW, don't worry about Lila being like Dazzler. The two have always been and always were different in musical tastes, Lila liking rock and Ali preferring disco/dance.

To Raliena: More coming up! Here's the new chappy!

Chapter 12: More Presents! Presents! Presents!

"Hey Scott!" Paul ran up to Scott Summers.

"What, Starchild?" Scott growled. Paul snickered.

"Now that's no way to be at Christmas." Paul handed Scott a small red box. "Here. A little something for you." Scott, with extreme reluctance, took the red box and opened it. It was a pair of golden glasses, with the red ruby quartz lenses. "For formal occasions." Paul explained. "I figured you should start dressing a little more flashy." Scott tried them on. "Aw yeah. They're so you. Airtight and Trinity made them. Press the little gold button on the side." Scott did so, and in a flash of light, his new gold glasses transformed into a visor. "Now you don't have to worry about switching back and forth."

"Well, uhm...wow, thanks Paul." Scott said in amazement. "Now I can have both glasses and visor at once!"

"Glad I could help." Paul grinned. He then noticed something. "Hey Remy! I got something for you!"

"Wow! A locket!" Jean tried on her new locket. "It's beautiful."

"Hey Athena!" Ace gave a present to X23. "Here's a present Logan and I got for you." X23 took the present.

"What do I do with it?" She wondered.

"Open it!" Ace happily replied, grinning his fanged grin. X23 nervously opened the present. "Like it?" X23 held up the new costume. It looked like a modified version of Wolverine's old tan-and-yellow costume, only the tan was replaced with blue. The mask had the top cut out and a hole for her ponytail. Two squished blue diamonds were on the sides of the top half. The costume was completed by a pair of blue gloves.

"Thank you." She said.

"Hey fat boy, this one's for you!" Fox handed a present to Fred.

"Ha ha, Fox. Wait until the 26th." Fred opened the package. "Alright! More cookbooks! And a fold-up kitchen from Airtight! Sweet!"

"I got a CD player and shoes!" Kitty proclaimed happily.

"Alright! A new quiver!" Clint laughed. A note told him to run outside. "WHOO-HOOO!!!!!! A MOTORCYCLE!!!! I AM THE KING!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!!!"

"PAUL, YOU ARE KIDDING!!!!" Remy yelled. "VEGAS?!?! DE BELLAGIO!?!? FOR A WEEK?!?! WIT' CHERE?!?!"

"Yeah. There's a big poker tournament down there. I figured that you could go there since you were a huge poker fan. And the Bellagio is a very swanky place. Not to mention romantic." Paul grinned.

"Remy no can believe that he is saying dis to Paul Starr, but t'anks a lot."

"Hey, no problem." Paul grinned.

"YEAH!!!!" Logan happily held up a pair of tickets. "Tickets to the Beer Festival in Montreal! I've been wanting to go there for weeks!" In the garage, Tabitha and Sam were amazed by their gifts.

"Wow!" Sam looked at his new dirt bike, a silver number with "Cannonball Special" sprayed on the sides in fancy gold lettering. "Craig, thanks!" Craig nodded.

"I didn't do it alone. Logan and Cover Girl helped." Craig said simply.

"OH MY GOD!!!!" Tabby squealed. "I GOT A JEEP!!!" She hugged the pink jeep. "PAUL, YOU SWEETIE!!!!"

"Lance, Todd, Freddy, Pietro helped. Lance was especially thrilled to help out. He got most of the parts the quickest. Had a big smile on his face, too. Don't know why." Paul heard Lance whoop in celebration.

"WHOO-HOO!!! NO MORE STEALING BETTY!!!" Lance yelled happily.

"Hey Ray!" Paul ran to Berzerker.

"Go away, Starchild." Ray said.

"Merry Christmas." Paul handed Ray two tickets and two backstage passes. Ray read the name on them.

"Tabby loves this band!" Ray exclaimed. "These are box seats! They're expensive! And primo!"

"Best in the house! Enjoy!" Paul grinned.

"Hey, thanks Paul! You know, you aren't so bad after all." Ray said.

"I know." Paul said. Back at the Mansion...

"WARCRAFT!!!! ALRIGHT!!! THOR IS EXTREMELY PLEASED!!!!!" The Norse God of Thunder held the board game. "Now I can slay more fiends with these new action figures!"

"Alright!" Kurt, Todd and Bobby got video games. Toad got up and went to his girlfriend.

"Hey honey, Merry Christmas." Todd gave Althea a present. Al opened it up and she saw a beautiful necklace with a sapphire star-shaped pendant.

"Toddles, it's soooooooo sweet of you." Althea sighed happily. "Here. For you." Todd opened his present: A green headband with the Japanese word for "Toad" on it in gold.

"Wow." Todd smiled. "Thanks Al."

"Merry Christmas, Toddy." Al gave Todd a kiss on the cheek. Jake smiled as he looked at his present: Tickets to Wrestlemania XX, and backstage passes, from his father who was signed to the Raw brand. Jamie gathered up his five clients, Razor and the Superstars.

"Okay, fellas." Jamie grinned. "I got you guys a sweet gig: Spots on Ozzfest! Merry Christmas, fellas!" The rocker and the band let out a huge "WHOO-HOO!!!!"

"Alright!" Razor grinned.

"First I get several new lighters, a topaz ring, and now I get to play drums at Ozzfest! Mate, this is great!" John whooped. "I could set fire to the Ozzfest stage! That'd make my life!" John laughed.

"I always did like Ozzy Osbourne." Craig shrugged. "I got the new parts for my motorcycles put in. Now it has nitro power and laser cannons."

"Same as mine." Paul grinned. "I got some nice new clothes. And the X-Girls gave me pictures of them."

"Figures." Craig sighed.

"Ozzy's heard of you guys." Jamie said.

"Let me guess: Kelly has a thing for Paul." Craig groaned.

"No." Jamie replied.

"For once." Craig sighed in relief.

"He loves your stuff." Jamie grinned. "He convinced Sharon to give you guys a spot."

"Ozzy loved my song "Rock 'n' Roll Girls"." Razor remembered. "He also liked "Heavy Metal Lust"."

"That song rules, Razor!" Lance said. He and Razor high-fived. "Who else is on the tour?" Jamie looked at the line-up he got.

"Uhmmm...let's see..." He read off the itinerary. "And there's another newcomer. Someone named Lila Cheney. She's described as an interstellar rocker. Here's a picture." Jamie showed the guys a picture of her: A teen girl with a mane of long black hair, and bearing a slight resemblance to Joan Jett. "I heard she's looking for management."

"Are you trying to corner the market on superpowered rockers?" John laughed. "You manage us and Razor, and you're also trying to get Dazzler to sign with you."

"It's an untapped market." Jamie laughed.
