A Misfit Christmas

To Sparky Genocide: Hey there Sparky! I was glad to use your idea for the chapter! It was funny! Actually, I got something special planned for this chapter. You'll love it! Enjoy the new chapter!

To BlazeStryker: Hey there Blaze! I'm glad you liked seeing Gladiator hear a squeal from Earth. I would not be surprised if the Kree Omni-Wave Receiver picked it up as well. Captain Marvel, huh? Which one? Mar-Vell, or his son Genis-Vell? Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

To Red Witch: Hey there Red Witch! Writer's block is very tough. Thanks for the advice, Red. I'll keep it in mind. Here's more insanity for you! I hope you like it! Enjoy the new chapter!

To Raliena: Hey there Rae! 'Take the Long Way Home' is one of my favorite stories. In fact, it's in my Favorites list. Yeah, I got rid of the annoying voice. Lance deserves a break after all the garbage he went through in his life. Will Coyote take a human form? No. This Coyote is Red Witch's Coyote, not Metal Dragon1's version of Coyote. Metal Dragon 1's Coyote is different. But that doesn't mean this Coyote won't give Lance advice in fights or on his love life.

To AnonGirl88: Hey there Anon! I'm glad you and Fishy liked the last chapter! Yeah, Pietro is a dead man. Anything with a mall Santa is funny. That's all I can say about that. I don't think Pietro will give up with setting up Lance and Angelica. I won't really do anything the Dudes suggest, anyway. I don't like 'em. Enjoy the new chapter!

To Aaron: Hey there, Aaron! Haven't heard from you in a while. I'm glad you liked the mall scene with Alpine, Bazooka, and Raven. Maybe the Southsiders will try to get Raven and Slipstream together. It would be funny. The prank goes that Jenni screwed up Pietro's attempt to get Lance and Angelica under the mistletoe by having Leatherneck and Wetsuit in their place. The beauty part? They thought it was Pietro's idea. I guess it would be cool to see Lisa corner John with mistletoe. Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 10: Merry Christmas, Misfits!

The Pit, Christmas morning

A thirsty Olivia Osnick, aka Spyder, walked down the stairs of the Misfit Manor, looking sleepy. She was clad in white pajamas with little black spiders all over them. She looked over at the Christmas tree, and blinked. She walked into the kitchen, and got herself a glass of juice. She walked back past the Christmas tree, and blinked at it sleepily. She took a sip of her juice, until she realized what was under the tree. Her eyes widened and she did a huge spit take.

"Ack! Hack!" Spyder hacked for a second, getting the juice out of her throat. She ran to the bottom of the stairs. "GUYS!!!! WAKE UP!!!! SANTA CAME!!!!! THERE ARE PRESENTS HERE!!!" Spyder hopped up and down excitedly. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?! GET DOWN HERE!!! HURRY!!!!"

"Okay! Okay!" Lance Alvers grumbled as he came down the stairs. "It's bad enough we had to put up the Southsiders for the night, you don't need to yell in my ear OH MY GOD!!! YOU GUYS, GET DOWN HERE!!! NOW!!!" Lance and Spyder raced down the stairs to the presents. The other Misfits came down the stairs, chattering excitedly.

"Oh man, look at all this!" Pietro whooped.

"What're we waiting for!? Let's open 'em!" Paul laughed happily. The Misfits tore into the presents.

"Hey, you mother#&#&#&!" Eric Phillips roared from the stairs. "Why don't you clowns just SWEET CHRISTMAS!!! YOU GUYS!!! WAKE UP!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!!" Eric ran down the stairs, and the other Southside Misfits were not far behind.

"Hey Lance, move over!" Jason exclaimed. "Aw sweet! A gold chain! Thanks Vicki!"

"Oh look!" Johnny B grinned. "A PDA!! One that I can fix up! Thanks!"

"A new Spider-Man doll! Thanks Lance!" Spyder grinned.

"Fireproof drumsticks! AWESOME!!!" John whooped.

"A pair of brass knuckles. I could always use another pair…" Eric smirked.

"Aw neat! A pair of designer jeans." Angelica said in awe.

"A Cowboys jersey. Fred, you shouldn't have." Lina smiled.

"Topaz jewelry!" Lisa squealed. "I love topaz! Reminds me of fire!"

"Oh cool! The KISS Psycho Circus game!" Paul grinned. "This is awesome!"

"An Indian cookbook. Lina, you're the best." Fred laughed.

"Oh wow. A Celtic pentagram necklace." Wanda looked over at a red-faced Craig. "Thanks, Craig."

"Awwww…" Althea cooed as he held up her present: A pair of nunchucks with blue fur handles. "Thank you, Toddles."

"Hey, thanks Al!" Todd grinned as he held up some video games.

"Well, this is nice…" Craig's face showed great approval for his present: A black bass guitar. "I do like this."

"Oh very funny, you guys!" Mike held up a book. "Hugh Hefner's Guide to Getting Women. Although I do like it…"

"Oh Jason, I love it!" Vicki cuddled a teddy bear clad as a witch. "Thank you!"

"Oh, how nice. The X-Boys all sent me jewelry." Jenni smiled. "They didn't have to. They're so sweet." She didn't notice a ticking present which had 'To Jenni, from the X-Girls' under the tree.

"Hey neat." Lance held up his present: An autographed photo of Aerosmith. "Spyder, how'd you…"

"Jamie knows people."

"Alright! GTA San Andreas!" Lila grinned. "Now I can play gangster!" Low Light, Cover Girl, and Shipwreck came down the stairs.

"Merry Christmas, kids." Cover Girl smiled.

"Awk!" Polly squawked as he flew by. "Break out the Christmas booze! Polly needs a buzz!"

"It's too early for that." Low Light sighed.

"A SOWING KIT!!! WHOO-HOO!!!" Pietro squealed.

"It's too early for that, too." Low Light added.

"This is nice…" Xi smiled when he looked at his present: A box of sugar-free cookies. "I never had these cookies before…"

"Hooray! DVDs!" Trinity grinned.

"Doll! Toy!" Barney giggled happily as he knocked a new toy Teletubby silly.

"Scratch! Scratch!" Claudius scratched his new scratching post.

"Oh look Shipwreck, here's one for you." Cover Girl handed Shipwreck a present. The grinning sailor took it and opened it up.

"A six pack of Billy Beer! This is a collector's item!" Shipwreck grinned. "Sweet! And there's something for you, Cover Girl." The ex-model took her present and opened it.

"Oh, how nice." Cover Girl smiled. "A DVD. I love this movie."

"Neat." Low Light grinned when he held up his present: A top-of-the-line sniper scope. "I always wanted one of these."

Later that day, Misfit Manor

The East Coast and Southside Misfits were chattering amongst themselves and enjoying their new presents and things. Craig walked up to Wanda.

"Well, this has been a crazy Christmas." Craig said to Wanda. The hexcaster nodded.

"No kidding." Wanda agreed. "We didn't fight any bad guys, but we did have some laughs anyway."

"Yeah, especially that prank Jenni pulled. Who would've thought Pietro could get those two together?" Craig chuckled.

"Yeah." Wanda smiled. "Hey Craig."

"Mm?"

"I got you that bass guitar." Wanda blushed. Craig blinked.

"Well…thanks…I…guess." Craig blinked. Wanda remembered the mistletoe she had. She pulled it out of her pocket.

Better now than never. Wanda mentally sighed. She put it over Craig's head. Craig blinked. "I can think of a way you can repay me." She was just about to kiss the LA mutant when…

"AGH!!!!" Craig roared. Suddenly, a laughing Claudius and Barney appeared and jumped on Craig's face, hugging him. "Let go of me!" Craig jumped around, trying to get the babies off him, and it stopped because they let go and he hit a wall. Wanda struggled not to laugh as Craig slumped down to the ground. She walked up to him.

"Darkstar, you are priceless." She gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Happy Holidays and have a great New Year, everyone!
