Chapter 4: Joyeux Noel

"Annie! Breakfast!" Kim called out from downstairs.

"Coming!" Annie responded.

It's been years since that Christmas that involved two aliens who are still imprisoned for endangering her life, and Annie has grown a lot since then.

From becoming her father's sidekick to helping to take down his archenemy, Annie felt proud of herself for how far she came since that night.

She even now has her own costume which is a blend of her dad's jumpsuit and her mom's battlesuit, as she wanted to honor both.

She even still keeps that helmet she got as a little kid, it was somehow that comfy even years later.

She finished changing as she left the room she was staying in at the cabin as she headed downstairs.

In the kitchen, she noticed that only her mom and the twins were there.

"Where are Dad and DJ?" Annie asks.

"Still getting the tree, now come sit." Kim said.

Annie obeyed while her mother brought out the food.

"Breakfast!" Manny and Frannie went in unison.

They all saw what Kim has just made as the smell reached them.

"That smells nice…" Manny said.

"There we go." Kim said as she placed the dish she made on the table.

"What are they called again, Mommy?" Frannie asks.

"Omelets. Think a taco, made of egg, this one filled with ham and cheddar cheese." She explained.

Kim slid the plate to Annie as held up her fork.

"I recall you and Dad eating them once when I was 9." She said as she eyed the food curiously.

"Yes and they're pretty delicious. I mean, after a few tries, they should be." Kim said.

Having been made aware of her mother's former lack of skill in the kitchen, Annie couldn't help but giggle.

"We'll see…" She took a piece of the omelet and put it in her mouth. After chewing, the taste excited her. "Wow… this rocks!"

The twins, meanwhile, were devouring their own omelets quickly and messily.

"Omelets!" Manny went happily.

"The breakfast of tomorrow!" Frannie added.

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

That's when the heard a scream of panic, causing all of them to turn their heads to the front door where it came from. They recognized the voice.

"Danny Jr?" Kim asks.

Her first son, and second child, then phases through the door, running to the table as his arms swung around wildly.

"IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S HAPPENING! IT-" He then stopped when he saw what was on his older sister's plate and calmed down. "Oh, that looks yummy." He said with a smile.

"Omelets." Annie says.

"Huh… cool. Not a pancake but I'd like to try… anyway… AAAAHHHH!" He resumed his panic.

"What's the sitch?" Mother and eldest daughter went in unison, noticing that they spoke the same words just now.

"They're out of Christmas trees!" DJ went in a panic.

His older sister, however, didn't see this as a problem.

"No probs, Bro. Let's just fly to the next town and-"

"That's just it." Her father, Danny Phantom, phased in from the ceiling, morphing back to human form as he landed. "We checked all the spots in a 50 mile radius. All sold out." Danny said.

Kim only gave her firstborn son a mildly confused look.

"Then… why were you panicking?"

"Because no tree means no good presents!" DJ went.

"NNNOOOO!" The twins went, feeling absolute horror.

Annie, meanwhile, rolled her eyes with an understanding smile.

"Bro, tweebs, relax. So not cause and effect there." She said.

"Says you!" DJ went.

"Yeah, remember last year when we didn't get a tree?" Manny went.

"We got awful gifts!" Frannie went, looking ready to cry.

"That was because Camille Leon broke out of prison and sent overly fancy clothes in an attempt to win you all over to get to your father. That had nothing to do with trees." Kim pointed out.

"How do you know? It could be true! We live in a world where Zeus has a daughter and she's a member of the Justice League!" DJ pointed out.

"Huh, so they stopped the made from clay story for you, huh?" Kim said as she pondered. "Hmm… maybe we can find one ourselves?"

As the youngest cheered, Danny and Annie sent looks at her.

"Kim/Mom?!" They went in unison.

"Relax… I'm sure we can find a tree here and use it without anyone, especially your old pal Sam, finding out." Kim assured.

"But there's like…" Annie inched closer to her mother's ear. "Monsters and stuff… Dad told me about the wendigo thing when you two were here at 18." She whispered.

"It's fine. I'm pretty sure it's not around for miles. Besides, Jake looked into it for us and that thing is still a vegetarian." Kim assured.

One Hour Later

The Fenton kids were gathered in the living room as the parents were outside the cabin, speaking with their eldest daughter.

"Now, while we're gone..." Kim started.

"Make sure to keep the doors closed and no inviting anyone over." Annie said.

"And...?" Kim went.

"No sugary treats for the twee- I mean, Manny and Frannie." Annie responded. Danny was about to speak up, but Annie cut him off. "And don't worry, I'll call as soon as something happens. You weren't training me as your sidekick for nothing, after all."

Both of her parents smiled in relief.

"Okay then...bye kids. Be safe." Danny said.

With that, Danny morphed and carried Kim into the air in a bridal manner as Annie closed the door.

"Okay, looks like I'm in charge! Me, Annie Phantom!" With that, Annie morphed to ghost form as she hovered to her siblings. "So…" She pulled away a plate of cookies her siblings got their hands on. "No sugary treats for any of you!"

Manny was about to take a bite of a cookie, but Annie pulled it away.

"Hey!"

"None." Annie said.

All of her siblings groaned.

"Come on!" Frannie went.

"Why does she always act like we'll set the house on fire when Mommy and Daddy go somewhere?" Manny muttered while their older sister began giving orders.

"Now…" Annie's stern look faded upon realizing she has no idea what they'll do next. "Uh… for now just… sit tight."

"Here? On this couch? For however long Mom and Dad are gone?" DJ asks.

"Uh… yeah." Annie said.

"Can't we go out to play in the snow?" Frannie asks.

"What did I just say?" Annie responded with a question of her own.

"Come on… can't we at least say hi to the other people staying at the other cabins?" Manny asks.

"No." Annie said flatly.

DJ rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Isn't there anything we can do?" DJ asks.

"There's like plenty of streaming services, including Mom and Dad's two favorites that conveniently have a plus in their names." Annie states.

"That's… not so bad, I guess." DJ admits.

Annie smiled as she went and turned one of the services on but no sooner than she did it, the twins chose to take the plate of cookies.

"Let's eat them before she catches us!" Frannie went.

Manny nodded and they ran off while DJ just chose to sit tight and watch some Holiday specials on the streaming service.

"HEY! Get back here!" Annie went as she chased after the two.

As this went on, they were unaware someone was watching from outside the window.

Meanwhile

The heroic couple landed in the woods, looking for a tree.

''Now let's find the right one and get back home..." Kim said as they looked around.

"How about this one?" Danny asks as he makes a sword construct of ghost energy.

Kim observed it and, using her Kimmunicator, scanned it. It made a buzzing sound.

"No good… there's too many bugs in there." Kim said.

They kept searching but something was on Danny's mind as he spoke to his wife.

"So… have the kids asked you about… him?" Danny asks.

Kim, knowing who he's talking about, shook her head.

"No. I just told him he's an old foe we defeated that Vlad pulled out of time. Thankfully, that satisfied their curiosity." Kim said.

Danny sighed in relief. That was a part of his life he wasn't ready to tell his youngest kids. He didn't want them to know that monster had his face under that helmet.

With that behind them, the two walked to the next tree.

"How about this one?" Danny asks.

"Well, looks free of bugs, but it's a bit old. Maybe-"

Before Kim could scan, something attacked the tree. A green blast that they dodged as it was left a burning stump.

The two recognized the damage.

"Wait a minute…" Danny went.

"Hey there, King and Queen!" A familiar voice snarked at them.

Turning to the direction of where that strange green blast came from.

"YOU?!" Kim snapped.

The matriarch of the family narrowed her eyes, as before them were Kim's archenemy couple, Doctor Drakken and Shego.

"I knew we'd find you two here!" Drakken went.

"So, what are you two doing here? Lookin' for mistletoes to make out under? Mind if I get a turn?" Shego quipped with a wink.

Drakken was lost on that while Kim knew the meaning of her words, knowing that Shego was playfully flirting with Danny just to provoke her.

"Are you two here looking for a fight?" Danny asks.

Drakken laughed it off.

"On the contrary…" He started.

Meanwhile, at the Fenton Cabin

The twins were now calmed down as Annie sat down on the couch, exhausted as she morphed back to human form.

DJ noticed this and nonchalantly shrugged.

"At least they didn't find where you hid the cookies…" He said.

"Shut it…" Annie grumbled.

To her right, the twins sat calmly before their stomachs grumbled in unison.

"I'm hungry…" Frannie said.

"Me too, I'm starving…" Manny went.

"We had breakfast like an hour ago." Annie pointed out.

"We're hungry!" They went in unison.

Annie groaned.

"Fine… I'll see what we got." She said, but as she got up, she noticed window at the kitchen was opened. "Uh… did someone open the window?"

Her siblings silently turned their attention to her.

"Uh… no?" DJ went.

"Uh uh…" The twins went.

That's when they heard the sound of loud chewing.

Realizing there was a home invader, Annie morphed once more and flew to the kitchen.

"Who's there?!"

When she entered, she saw someone leaning on the counter, eating the plate of cookies an drinking some milk.

"Hey, Princess…" Erica went.

Erica Drakken Lipsky, the daughter of Doctor Drakken and Shego, who went by the identity of Ms. Ego.

"You?!" Annie questioned loudly.

Before Annie could say anything again, DJ came in fast thanks to hovering, landing in front of his sister and staring up at Erica wide-eyed with a smile.

"Hi, Erica!" He went.

"Sup, Phantom Junior…" Erica went in a seemingly friendly tone as she ate another cookie.

Manny and Frannie rushed in and gasped.

"OUR COOKIES!" The twins went.

Annie ignored this as she glared at Erica with eyes glowing.

"What are you doing here, Erica?! And how did you know we were here?" Annie questioned.

Erica finished the cookie as she took a sip of milk.

"Dad decided to celebrate your mom and dad not biting the big one by enjoying Christmas together. Plus, we're taking time off on world domination and grand theft." Erica said.

"And… where are your parents?" Annie asked hesitantly.

"Out helping your folks out with a Christmas tree. My dad still has that flower thing in his neck, after all. He knows a thing or two on mutant plants." Erica went.

As Erica resumed eating casually, Annie just scowled at her as DJ kept up his big grin at his crush's presence while the twins pouted at her eating the cookies.

"So… want anything else? Maybe some pie? A soda? Order a pizza?" Anie asked sarcastically.

"That'd be awesome, thanks." Erica went, ignoring Annie's tone.

''I was being sarcastic..." Annie said but was ignored.

"Pizza would be great." DJ went.

"I'm not ordering-"

"Pizza!" The twins went.

Before Annie could say no, all three of her siblings did the puppy dog pout. Annie sighed bitterly, unable to ignore it.

This is what I get for using it on Dad...

"Fine… but you better help pay." Annie said to Erica.

"No worries." Erica went, pulling a credit card out.

Annie took notice of the card and sent her a suspicious look.

"Why do I get the feeling that's not yours?" Annie questioned.

"Relax… it's Lex Luthor's." Erica went, pointing to the image of the Superman logo with a black X on it in the middle of the card. "See?"

Annie raised a brow and, realizing only one person would advertise their hate for Superman so blatantly, knew Erica told the truth.

"Oh… okay. That's fine."

Meanwhile

Danny and Kim were following Shego and Drakken to a cabin they themselves were staying at. Much to their surprise, it was across their own.

"Seriously?!" Kim went, not at all happy about this.

"Relax, Kimmie. Truce. Doctor D and I just wanna celebrate that your husband's evil lookalike didn't waste either of you." Shego said.

Hearing this, the two flinched as they shared a look.

"Did… did you guys tell your daughter?" Kim asks.

"No. All records of that were removed thanks to former president Tennyson. Besides… that's your department." Shego said.

"And… why are we following you guys to the cabin?" Danny asks.

"Because, I was plotting to make a fool-proof plan for world domination-" Drakken went, but Shego cut him off.

"You can imagine where the flaw in that plan is." Shego snarked.

Drakken shot her a dirty look as she smugly smiled before he continued.

"When I realize I cloned a perfectly fine Christmas tree. I had been plotting to turn them into monstrous trees that would obey my every command… but it turns out the mutant hormones I implanted didn't so much speed up their evolution as it did their age. They wither up in 12 hours." Drakken said.

The two shared a distrusting look.

"Relax, if we wanted to waste you, it'd be on another holiday. Doctor D's taking a cue from those ghosts and is doing a truce on the holidays." Shego states.

"Even we villains need a break..." Drakken said.

Danny and Kim shared unsure looks.

"What do you think?" Kim whispered.

"Worst come to worst, I can ice the tree if it tries to kill us." Danny said.

"Okay." Kim responded before looking to the two villains. "Okay then…"

"Also… where is your daughter?" Danny asks.

"No doubt messing with your kids." Shego snarked.

Meanwhile

"Go Annie!" The two twins went.

"Go Erica!" DJ went, ignored the twins glare at him for rooting for her instead.

Annie Phantom and Ms. Ego were in an arm-wrestling contest, hoping to kill some time while waiting for the food they ordered 2 hours ago, which took long due to everyone wanted a different thing, and they didn't have issue using Lex Luthor's money since he's a multimillionaire who uses his money mostly to try and destroy Superman.

They figured they could spend his money before anyone got wise.

"Let's see how much stronger you got, Princess…" Erica went.

"You'd be surprised…" Annie responded while grunting.

Both females sent competitive glares as their match continued and the two kept struggling to win.

Neither wanted the other to win and Erica decided to try and get under her foe's skin.

"So, where's RJ? Celebrating in Japan still?" Erica asks. Annie's eyes glowed angrily. "That's right, I do some social media stalking… that photo of him at the beach is really cute, y'know?" Erica went.

Annie gritted her teeth.

"Well, at least I have friends to go to the beach with." She remarked.

"Aww… that would hurt if I didn't already have a friend to spend time with." Erica went.

"Oh yeah? Who? Senior the Third?" Annie scoffed.

She did not expect the next thing to come out of Erica's mouth.

"You."

Annie lost her focus.

"Wait… what?"

She stopped struggling and, not realizing it, Erica didn't bother winning.

"My parents aren't even married and they don't exactly have jobs that let me go to school. My dad's too busy with plotting world domination to even consider a wedding ring and my mom still likes to make weird come ons to your dad mostly to irritate your mom." Erica points out.

"Okay, that's kinda specific. Also, eww!" Annie went.

"Plus, we're a family of criminals, not exactly a conversation on the playgrounds growing up. You're the first person my age I have had any long amount of time with. You're kind of the only friend I got…" Erica admits with a sincere tone and look that made Annie believe her.

"Wow…" Annie went before realizing they were still in an arm-wrestling contest. "Oh!"

The two resumed.

"But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you win." Erica went.

"Wait, why didn't you take advantage of distracting me?" Annie asks.

"Who said I wanted to distract you?" Erica points out.

Annie wasn't sure what to feel about what she said as they continued.

Come on… come on… Annie thought.

Almost got it... Erica thought.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Food?" Annie asks, loosening her grip.

"Ha!" Erica went as she pushed, but found Annie's grip tightened once more as it was inches from the table, much to her shock. "Huh?! WHOA!"

She was then swung downward, Annie's arm swinging at near full strength and winning the match, knocking Erica down in the process.

"I win." She said calmly as she got up to answer the door.

Erica, meanwhile, got up and chuckled.

"Well played…" She said with a smirk.

Annie opened the door, taking all the bags.

"Thank you." She said politely as she closed the door and carried the bags to the kitchen table. "Chow time!"

"YAY!" The twins went as they take a pizza.

Meanwhile, DJ took a bowl of pasta as he then approached Erica.

"Would you like some?" He asked as his eyes sparkled at the sight of her.

Erica smiled at him.

"Thanks, but I got me some ramen and sushi."

Annie rolled her eyes as she got her 4 sandwiches out of the bag.

Hours Later

To say Danny and Kim were unsure about Drakken and his little family spending the holidays with them is putting it mildly. After all, they were supposed to be archenemies but the Lipsky family was here celebrating with them.

Shego placed the tree in place.

"There, perfect." She said.

She grinned as Drakken took a sip of his drink.

"Ah, good coco moo." He said.

Danny sent a weirded out look at him.

"Why don't you ever say hot chocolate?" Danny asks.

"I have my reasons, okay?!" Drakken said defensively.

Danny shrugged indifferently as he really did not care.

He saw his first son approach Erica with some crudely wrapped in his hands. He then presented it to her.

"Here, Erica. Merry Christmas." He said.

Blinking, Erica took it.

"Let's see…" She unwrapped it and saw what looked like a rock vaguely shaped like her. "Huh?"

"I… am not so good yet with ghost rays but… I did the best I could…" DJ admits sheepishly.

Raising a brow as she looked at the handmade gift, it was easy to see it was made quick, given misplacement on the eyes and mouth along with her hair was too long. However, Erica smiled.

"Aww… thanks, little guy." She says before rustling his hair.

After she was done, DJ walked away, his face turning bright red.

"She thanked me… and touched my head…" He said with a big smile.

His dad and older sister saw this and sighed.

"Will you or Mom tell him? Or do you want me to do it?" Annie asks.

"Ehh… I guess… let him find out on his own?" Danny responded, unsure.

Then the twins approached Erica with a present of their own.

"We have something too." Manny said.

"Here…" Frannie went as she handed the present.

Their father and eldest daughter stared with eyes widened.

"Uh oh…" They went.

Erica, not seeing anything, jist started opening the gift.

"Huh… what is-"

As soon she opened it, Erica found a pie launched right into her face.

Her family was shocked.

"What the…?!" Shego went.

"Erica!" Drakken exclaimed while the twins laughed

"Ha! Payback for our cookies!" The twins went as they ran off together.

One of her parents got angry.

"Oh, that's it!" Shego went with teeth gritted and hands emitting green energy.

Kim then got in her path.

"Don't even think about it!" She warned her old foe.

Glares happened as both women were ready to throw down.

"Now now, Shego… truce…" Drakken reminded her as he tried to pull her back.

However, much to their surprise, someone was laughing.

That someone was Erica, who wiped the pie off her face, much to everyone's surprise.

"Yup… they got me…" She said in a surprisingly humble tone.

Her arch foe was hesitant as Annie approached her.

"You're… not mad?" Annie asks.

"Mad? Heck no." Erica said. "I always wanted siblings… a shame my folks vowed to never repeat that "night in Rumackistan" ever again…" She said, rolling her eyes at her parents.

Both of them turned red as Kim took a moment to make light.

"Wait… so when Global Justice pinpointed you two disappearing near there right after our wedding night, it wasn't just to hide, was it?" She asked with a smile.

Afraid to speak up, Drakken and Shego could only grin nervously as they slowly stepped out of the living room.

"We have to… tell Eddie... happy holidays." Drakken lied, blushing.

"Maybe after I finish suppressing the gross image in my head I'll laugh about it more later…" Danny says.

Later

As the rest of the makeshift Christmas party went, Annie and Erica were on the rooftop. Annie was morphed so the cold doesn't bother her, though Erica maintained her turquoise jumpsuit.

"Aren't you cold in that?" Annie asks.

"Nah… my mom got me to be a bit more cold-resistant when I was 10. Part of my training." Erica said.

"That's some training for a 10-year-old girl." Annie said.

"Oh, like you didn't go through training like that…" Erica said.

"No, because my folks chose to raise me in a loving and safe environment. Plus, my ghost form is more resistant to the elements than humans are." Annie said.

"If you say so." Erica said.

Annie shook her head and chose to change the subject.

"So… you're totally aware my brother DJ has a crush on you, right?"

"No duh. He's cute, he'll have to call me in 10 years, but I'm flattered." Erica said.

Annie rose an eyebrow.

"You're… kidding, right? About him calling you?"

"I mean, according to my mom, your dad thought she was hot when he was younger. And after-"

"Okay! Stop!" Annie went, holding her hand out before shuddering. "It's weird and creepy when Bonnie Rockwaller, Camille Leon and that evil alien princess express some interest in my dad, but your mom was an adult back before my dad ever hit puberty!"

"I mean… she kissed him twice, mostly to mess with your mom. She did say he has nice lips." Erica said, wanting to egg her on even further.

Annie just had a flat, disturbed look on her face.

"I could have lived my entire life without that image in my head."

"You think you're the only one who's not sleeping after learning that? My dad is still lost on that and I promised not to say anything to him… mostly because it made me grossed out too." Erica says.

"Ugh…" Annie said, pressing her hands to the side of her head as if to squeeze the thought out of her.

"All joking aside, I was kidding… I'm sure your bro will be handsome but I think RJ is more my speed." Erica said with a playful smirk.

Annie rolled her eyes at her for it.

"I have half a mind to punch with enough force to launch you into the sky." She said in a threatening tone.

"And the other half?" Erica questioned in a trolling manner.

"To throw you in the path of a truck." Annie grumbled.

There was a long silence.

Both females remained staring at each other as the two smiled and started laughing.

"I gotta say… I'm liking this… not fighting thing once in a while." Erica admits.

"Me too… My friends on the cheer squad, Luna and Candace, they're great and all but they don't go on missions with me. Luna's too normal and Candace is more into being a Global Justice agent like her dad." Annie said.

"So… would you say I'm a pretty decent gal pal?" Erica said.

"Well… you're only the second worst person in my life… so sure." Annie said, earning a chuckle from Erica. "I hear our moms were kind of like that when they were younger."

"Maybe we can double date? Me and RJ, you and that other guy friend of yours who isn't dating." Erica suggests.

"If you mean CJ, forget it… he's more like a brother to me. Plus, his mom would never let him date someone who eats meat… or is popular like Tawnie." Annie said.

"That's the other girl you don't like, right?" Erica asks.

"Yup. She is a major pain, her mom and my mom were high school rivals and is trying to live her life through her." Annie said.

"And CJ, who isn't as cute as RJ but I'd totally let him have a shot…" Annie rolled her eyes at that. "… is into this girl?" Erica asks.

"Well… after he kind of saved her from falling debris during… "the incident"…" Annie did air quotes. "…she's been nicer to him, relatively speaking at least."

"Huh… I guess I have two cheerleaders to steal potential boyfriends from." Erica said slyly.

"Or you could hook up with a guy who's already evil…" Annie suggested.

Erica scoffed.

"Believe it or not… I don't want anyone evil…" Erica said, looking up at the moon.

"Huh?" Annie went.

Erica was silent, the wind blowing made her ponytail raise as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I don't mind if my partner is… a good person."

"Really?" Annie asks.

Erica smirked at her.

"Really… still, they'd have to be pretty scrappy to last a round or two with me in a sparring match."

"Then in that case… we should make sure it's not when your folks are up to something." Annie joked.

"Heh… I guess so…" Erica said before leaning back and resting on the rooftop. "Enjoy this while you can, come sundown tomorrow we go back to normal."

Annie laughed a little before laying down herself.

Both teenage superhumans look up at the moon, enjoying the coolness of the night and clear skies.

Hours Later

The "guests" were gone and everyone was resting as Danny and Kim laid in bed together.

"Finally… I thought they'd never leave." Kim said.

"Still weird of them to give us a present of all things." Danny said.

"I know…" Kim said as she rolled her eyes at the gift they got.

It was a copy of Shego's old catsuit, made to fit Kim.

"Did you scan that thing?" Danny asks.

"I did the moment I saw it. No bugs, no bomb or anything. They seriously thought this was a good gift…" Kim said, looking more that disgusted at the idea of wearing such a thing again.

"I can only assume they gave the suit purposely to peeve you." Danny said before he laughed about it. "Although… I can't say I hated how it looked on-" He stopped talking when he saw the glare coming from his wife. "Now hold on! I knew that Shego wasn't right for me, she was too old and evil for me! Besides, I was gonna subtly imply it would look better on you…" He claims.

After raising one eyebrow, Kim lightened up and giggled.

"Oh, it's good to know, all these years, I can still get you all startled." She admits.

"Good to know you still got the urge to win." Danny ribbed her lightly.

Kim sent a coy, almost seductive look at him.

"Really? Well, care to see how well I look in that thing while I pummel you?" She asks in a threatening yet also seductive manner.

"Depends…" Danny said.

"Well… here's a hint of what's to come." Kim said before kissing Danny.

Morning

It was Christmas morning and the everyone was exchanging gifts and opening their presents.

"Alright, let's see what we got. I got… those new sneakers I wanted!" DJ said as he eyed his present.

"I got a new Superman figure!" Manny said in excitement.

"I got a Supergirl toy!" Frannie said, just as excited.

"I guess you three were well behaved enough to make it off the naughty list..." Annie said in amusement as she already opened her gifts, which was a new headset and a new bear for her collection.

Their parents observed this and smiled.

"This was a wonderful Christmas, wasn't it?" Danny asks.

"Not just yet…" Kim said before pointing up.

Danny did so and smiled at the sight of the mistletoe.

Knowing what she wanted, Danny grinned as he and his wife kissed deeply.

The two parents began making out as their kids cringed at the sight.

"Ugh, come on! Why didn't you guys put that up last night when Erica was here?!" DJ went before getting up. "Maybe I can-"

"They bailed, little bro. I saw the hover thing leave this morning." Annie said, covering her eyes.

"That wasn't Santa?" Manny asks.

"Told you!" Frannie went.

Once they stopped kissing, the married coupled laughed off their kids' disgust.

"Just go back to enjoying your gifts." Kim said.

"Yeah, don't mind us..." Danny said as he had his hands around his wife.

"Trust me, we'll do our best to ignore you." Annie said.

As the kids resumed their playtime, Danny and Kim shared a look.

"So… one last sparring match before we head out tonight?" Danny asks.

"Please and thank you." Kim responded.

With that, the two got ready. Danny morphed and waiting for his wife to arrive in her battlesuit. Once she did, they had their fun together.

Special thanks to Flower princess11.

Another chapter, with the name based on the movie about the Christmas Truce, because we have one here.

Also, Amphibia reference because I like Amphibia.
