"This is insane!" Mal called out. "I can't believe this is happening!"

"It's almost like magic!" Evie added.

Noelle and Susie seemed to appear before chuckling at each other. A parachute soon appeared, holding the package in the air as it traveled through the snowy wilderness, heading over to a bright, shiny, and colorful village where there was a workshop. Packages were sent into one place, including one holding our Christmastime heroes, and the box holding them soon dropped inside, bumping and bouncing around before the box broke open and out came the kids, all landing on each other in the middle of the hardwood floor.

"We made it!" Dewey smiled.

"Whoa..." Huey groaned, looking a little queasy from that. "Next time we mail ourselves First Class."

"Are we here?" Zofia asked. "Are we really in The North Pole?"

"I'll believe it when I see it." Felicity replied as she shook her head, looking a little dizzy. The second she stopped shaking her head, she got a good look at the toy factory; it was full of elves in green and red clothing, hard at work readying toys for Santa's big delivery.

"That enough proof for you?" LJ asked.

Felicity groaned and rubbed her eyes before they widened. "JIMINY!" she then exclaimed.

"I'd say she's convinced now." Zofia remarked.

"Whoa... It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Felicity remarked as she looked all around in wide wonder.

Many elves were moving presents around, whether in giant carts or sorting them or wrapping them and creating them for all of the good little boys and girls all around the world.

"Man, look at all those elves!" Jay complained. "There's no way we can pull off our heist now."

"Heist? Really, Jay?" Felicity rolled her eyes.

"Well, I don't know what you'd call it, but it seems to fit if you ask me." Jay shrugged.

"We need a disguise! Let's move!" Dewey suggested before he took off, already having a plan.

Everyone soon found a bunch of green elf hats and decided to wear them to pose as elves.

"Oh, yeah," Mal rolled her eyes. "This'll fool 'em."

"Hey, fellow elf, can you give me a hand here?" One of the elves asked, moving a rather large cart filled with rubber balls.

"Yeah, right. Be right with you," Mal replied, ignoring him before looking at the others. "I think Carlos is the most convincing as an elf if you ask me~"

"Hey!" Carlos pouted as Mal smirked, leaning back then.

"Well, guys... How are we going to find the list in this place?" Mal soon asked as she looked around.

"I'm working on it." Dewey replied.

"I can't see anything with this map in the way." Louie complained.

"A MAP?!" Huey and Dewey exclaimed, before turning around to see that there was indeed a map of Santa's Workshop behind them.

"Good work, Louie!" Huey declared.

"It says Santa's list is right here!" LJ pointed out on the map. "Let's go!"

The group all dashed up the staircase. There were a couple of flights of stairs, making the group already pant heavily as they memorized where to go, going as quickly as they possibly could.

The group soon came to a stop right in front of a pair of doors with the letters "SC" on them which only meant one thing.

"Heh... Well, that was easy." Mal smirked as she put her hands n her hips.

"I'll handle this one~" Jay smirked as he came to open the doors, but grunted as they didn't budge. "Ugh! It must be locked!"

"Now what?" Carlos groaned.

"I might have an idea," Felicity replied. "We look for a key."

"Great idea, Flick." Mal deadpanned slightly.

Felicity firmly pouted and stuck her tongue out at the purple-haired girl. Mal did the same, shaking her head, and pulling down on her eyelid.

"Enough, you two," Zofia scolded. "Let's go find that key. I bet that Jolly Old Saint Nick himself has it."

"Back to the map." Dewey suggested.

"Maybe we should take a picture of this on our phone so we don't get lost again just in case." Felicity suggested as they ran down that way.

"Couldn't hurt!" LJ replied as they arrived at the map.

"Santa's office, next to the food court!" read Huey. "Let's go!"

"Somehow, that doesn't surprise me." Mal remarked as they headed off to find Santa's office.

Heading down a hallway, they arrived outside the door in question; but on the doorknob hung a sign.

"'NAP TIME: Do Not Disturb'." read Louie.

"Well, we should go," Carlos suggested. "My mom always hated it if I disturbed her nap for any reason."

"We did not come all this way just to regard a Do Not Disturb sign!" Mal rolled her eyes as she grabbed his arm.

"I agree." Huey said, reaching for the doorknob.

"Wait. You're gonna wake him!" Dewey warned his brother. "We gotta be super quiet."

"How do we do that from here?" Felicity asked.

"Not down here," Dewey said before looking around and pointed up to the air vents from up above. "Up there! Some of us should go up there and maybe some of the rest can stay behind and keep watch?" he then suggested.

"Okay... Anyone who's good at staying quiet can go into the vents," LJ suggested. "Anyone who's loud would be perfect for keeping watch and alerting them to danger."

The teenagers decided to stand guard, except for Jay who led the younger kids in through the vents.

"Remind me again why you're in charge of this?" Huey asked Jay suspiciously.

"Believe me, I'm pretty smooth and sneaky when it comes to spying around and taking some things without being detected." Jay smirked.

"Uh-huh... And HOW exactly are you an expert at that?" Louie asked suspiciously.

"...Okay, this should be it," Jay then quickly told the younger kids as he opened the vent before flinching and wincing as it made an unexpectedly loud sound. "Just remember to be quiet."

Luckily for them, Santa was on his couch, still sound asleep and snoring away a storm.

"Oh, yeah... Real quiet..." Zofia snarked at the older boy.

"Checklist... Feed reindeer..." Santa mumbled in his sleep as the kids looked around for what they came here for.

"There it is!" Dewey gasped once he found the list.

"And now for some live bait." Jay said with a sneaky grin on his face.

Louie was soon lowered with a string before he glared back up at the others inside the vent. "Next time, we draw straws." he then scoffed to them.

"File a complaint at the office." Jay shrugged as they sent Louie down.

"Just get the list already..." LJ muttered.

Louie groaned as he looked around before yelping as he was accidentally lowered just a couple of inches in front of Santa.

"Easy! Easy..." Jay warned as that made him nervous.

"Whew!" Louie sighed as that was just too close as he looked at Santa up close before wincing as he yawned heavily. "Yuck! ...Hey, peppermint, with just a hint of mocha." he then smiled at the smell.

"Quiet!" The others in the air vent warned.

Santa soon yawned, nearly grabbing Louie in his sleep before rolling onto his stomach on the couch.

Jay decided to take the line, trying to move Louie closer to the list and further away from Santa.

"I got it!" Louie said as he reached the desk only to be pushed back against the fireplace. "Whoa! Hot! Hot! Hot! Yaaaugh!" he then yelped and soon ended up getting slammed into the desk as the latch came down and clamped him shut inside.

"Man, that was close, but what're we gonna do about Louie?" Zofia complained.

"We'll think of something," Huey reassured. "Nothing can wake that guy."

Then suddenly, the ringing of a telephone was heard, which soon did wake up Santa.

"...Except that." Huey then said.

"Okay, just don't panic." Jay advised.

Santa yawned as he walked over to the phone.

"It's for you," said Louie, handing him the receiver. Santa accepted it. "Hello?"

"Santa!" exclaimed a voice. "Don't you go back to napping! I know when you've been sleeping, and I know when you're awake!"

"Crikey," remarked LJ. "Who IS that talking to him anyway?"

"Mrs. Claus?" Jay shrugged as he took a wild mass guess.

"Oh, is it that time already?" Santa asked on the phone before sniffing a very distinct smell. "...Hey, what are they cooking in the kitchen? Mm... Smells like roast duck."

Louie sniffed the air too before yelping as it was his own tailfeathers due to the fireplace incident.

"Now, don't dillydally, you hear?" The voice on the other line told Santa as Louie found a key, though Huey and Dewey moved the line all over the place, unable to reel him in properly. "You better kick it up a notch."

"Yes, yes, of course. I'll be right down." Santa nodded before his hat was knocked off his head. He then went to bend down and pick it up as Louie was soon reeled back into the air vent right then when Santa's back was turned and was soon inside and they sealed the air vent shut before Santa would notice anything strange once he picked up his hat.

Luckily, the others went through the air vent and made it back outside.

"Oh, thank goodness you guys made it." Felicity smiled.

"I told ya that ya could trust me~" Jay smirked as Louie showed the key. "You could say that I'm a smooth criminal."

"...No one's saying that." Carlos replied in a snarky voice.

Everyone soon ran down the hallways with the key at hand.

"Good list here we come!" Huey said as they ran back over to the doors they had found earlier.

"Even though what we're doing doesn't sound very good at all!" LJ replied. "Mostly whenever you think about it!"

"Yeah, it's kinda ironic when ya think about it." Mal had to admit.

They soon ran into one rather tall elf, knocking him down in the middle of the floor.

"Hey! Careful, buddy!" Mal told him as she ran off. "Hm... That elf seemed to be six feet tall at least."

"That hurt..." The elf groaned as he dropped several boxes of skateboards which made the kids hop on and ride on them to get over to the "Nice List" faster.

A blonde woman soon came over to the fallen man and helped him up on his feet and she seemed to be very tall for an elf too.

"Incoming! Toy assembly line!" Carlos called out and pointed.

They soon rode their new skateboards in through the room, crashing and smashing while the elves were very hard at work.

"Sorry!" Felicity called out to the elves.

"Don't drop that key!" Dewey exclaimed.

"Relax, what could happen?" asked Huey.

Unfortunately, seconds later they crashed into a display of Jailbreak Bob toys.

"Clean-up in Action Figures!" announced the voice from the phone. "All available, please assist! Except for you of course, Santa!"

"What could happen, huh?" LJ remarked dryly.

Huey just grinned bashfully in response.

The triplets groaned as they came out of the boxes.

"Dewey! Hey, Dewey, you got the key?" Huey called out while Louie looked painfully dizzy.

Dewey looked around before gasping as he grabbed the key off of the floor. "There it is." he then said.

"It took forever to stack these Jailbreak Bob toys." The elf complained as he came over to the kids.

"Jailbreak Bob?" Mal rolled her eyes. "That sounds like a worse toy than Buzzsaw Louie or something made by that Wacko guy down in Porkbelly."

"I dunno, they seem kinda cool to me." Jay shrugged as he picked up one box.

"Let me out, see? I was framed, see?" The doll spoke, speaking in an Edward G. Robinson fashion.

"Uh, guys? I think we have a problem." Felicity spoke up. She proved to be right as there were a bunch of golden keys lying around in the middle of the floor.

"Uh-oh." The group groaned and gulped nervously.

"We're sorry..." Felicity softly said to the disgruntled elf.

"No worries. Accidents happen," The elf replied as he collected an armful of some keys. "We got to get all these keys back into the jails. These dolls still have to be wrapped." he then said.

"Ugh... This could take until next Christmas!" Zofia complained.

"But he lost the key to the men's room." Huey soon said, gesturing to Dewey.

"No problem," The elf replied with a small smile as more elves gathered around. "Whichever key doesn't fit is yours. Let's move."

"I'll start over here!" called another elf.

"Whoa, what a mess..." remarked a third.

"I'll help!" declared a fourth.

Thanks to the elves' help, the group was able to put the keys back into their respective toy locks... Except for one.

"Hey, I got a defective key over here!" One elf called. "Whaddo I do with it?"

"That's our key!" LJ exclaimed.

"Throw it to Morty!" replied another elf.

"No, wait!" Dewey started as the first elf threw the key, but it bounced off the top of a box and fell into another box.

"All right, here's what we do," Carlos soon said. "Follow that key!"

"Right!" The others agreed before taking off together.

"Hey, aren't you guys going to help restack these?" One of the elves asked, showing the fallen dolls in their boxes.

"Uh, sure," Huey replied as they simply ran off together. "Be right with you."

"...They aren't coming back, are they?" The elf just asked himself in dismay.

One of the elves soon pulled a lever which began to wrap up the boxes in wrapping paper before their ribbons were attached at the top. An elf at the end of the conveyor belt soon grabbed each gift and tossed them up into the sleigh's bag so that Santa could deliver them all around the world tonight. Louie grabbed every present that he could and opened them to find the key, but had a rather fruitless search so far.

"No... No... Nope... Nuh-uh... Mm-mm..." Felicity said, moving the presents that weren't the right ones out of the way after checking them.

"It's gotta be here somewhere... But where?" Zofia complained as she looked with her siblings and the triplets.

"Hey..." Louie said as he took out the key before cheering. "I got it! I got it!"

"Perfect!" Mal nodded. "Now let's go before we lose it again!"

"Oh, no!" exclaimed an elf, surveying the disarray. "Look what they've done!"

The other elves gasped, including the unusually tall one, at the massive mess that had been made.

"Gimme that, you," Dewey remarked as he snatched the key from his brother. "Now let's get outta here!"

An alarm blared out as the conveyor belts came to a halt.

"We are at Elfcon-1! Elfcon-1!" said the announcer. "Nobody panic!... Thank you!"

"Oh, man-oh-man-oh-man!" LJ gulped. "We made a major mess back there!"

"Sorry..." Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos winced nervously at the elves.

"Come on, we gotta go!" Felicity urged them before dashing off with the others.

"To the list!" Huey proclaimed.

"We're running out of time!" Louie added.

"I'm beginning to think this list isn't worth it anymore." Zofia complained.

The kids ran up the stairs and soon right into Santa, knocking all of them down on the floor.

"Hey! What's the big id-" Dewey glared before he gasped with the others once they saw who they had run into.

"Oh, goodness me! I'm terribly sorry," Santa chuckled as he soon reached out and picked them up off of the floor. "Sometimes it's hard to see past the old tum-tum."

"Yet if I say that about Mr. Cogsworth, I get detention for a month." Mal muttered to the others snarkily.

"Hey, you've found my key!" Santa smiled once he saw what Jay had in his hand and began to try to take the key back, though he seemed to refuse to give it back right away. "Thanks, kids. I've been looking for... This," he then groaned, straining slightly with the key before he got it out of Jay's hand and put it in his pocket. "Got to check that list one more time, you know." he then told them.

"Santa... Come quick!" exclaimed an elf as he ran over to the big guy. "It's a disaster! We're WAY off schedule! Christmas is ruined!" he sobbed.

"...We ruined Christmas..." LJ muttered, mortified.

"How bad could it be?" asked Santa.

"Remember the Sleigh Crash of '64?" asked the elf.

Santa winced. "That bad?" he asked.

"WORSE!" The elf exclaimed. "Look!"

Santa soon took a look as the sleigh and the toys were nearly destroyed and there was a red alert all over with all of the elves gathered in disappointment and dismay.

"I never did anything that bad before..." Jay grimaced.

"Neither have I," Mal frowned as she put her hand to her mouth. "...What have we done?"

"Oh, now, that's bad," Santa sighed before he walked over to the wreck. "I'd better get down there."

"Christmas is ruined!" The elf continued to sob as he followed after him.

The kids all looked at each other and soon slowly walked upstairs as this was worse than they could had possibly imagined.

The elves were soon trying to sort out and organize the toys that had fallen, but they wouldn't have much time as it was just Christmas Eve tonight of all nights.

"Oh... We really made a mess of things!" Huey frowned.

"We ruined Christmas for every kid in the whole entire world." Louie added.

"All those poor little boys and girls." Zofia added in a mournful tone of voice.

"Uncle Scrooge was right," Dewey sulked as he sat on the steps. "We'll never clean up our act."

"And this was going to be our first good Christmas," Evie frowned. "We could barely ever afford presents back home and we usually lied, cheated, and stole just to get our way since we grew up on the wrong side of town. This was finally our chance to have a really nice, warm, and happy Christmas as a family," she then said as she sat with Mal, Jay, and Carlos. "I can't believe I let myself get involved with this and I was acting just like my mother."

LJ sighed sadly. "I should've known this was a bad idea..."

Suddenly, Dewey sprang to his feet. "Maybe we can't clean up our act, but we can clean up our MESS!" he exclaimed. "Whaddya say, guys?"

"Worth a shot." replied Jay.

Evie pouted as she still looked upset with herself.

"Evie, so we messed up, everybody makes mistakes," Felicity said to the dark-haired girl. "I know you guys are hardly 'Best Kid' material, not to mention all we've been through together and what happened in school before we became friends and then eventually a family."

"I just don't know if I can go on with this 'sha-rod'." Evie replied with a pout as she crossed her arms.

"E, we've known you for a long time," Mal said, referring to herself, Jay, and Carlos. "No one's sweeter than you, but just because of one naughty thing, it doesn't mean you're a bad person. We're all in this together."

Evie glanced back at them.

"You always helped us out, so let us help you out," Carlos smiled. "You're our sister."

Evie looked over as they all smiled at her before she sighed, smiling back. "Okay... I don't know how we can fix this, but I guess I can try to at least make it a little bit better." she then said, giving in.

And so, the group got to work repackaging the toys, helping to refill the sleigh, wrapping up presents, and in a matter of minutes, everything was right as rain.

"Excuse me, I'm out of..." started Louie.

"That's a wrap!" A bearded elf chuckled. "Cuz you see, I'm a wrapping elf, and-Ah, forget it."

"All right!" cheered Dewey, as the other elves celebrated their tasks being completed.

"We helped save Christmas," Carlos beamed at the others. "If that doesn't make us changed this year, I don't know what will."

"Oh, yeah!" Mal, Evie, and Jay cheered at that.

"We did it!" LJ, Zofia, Felicity, and the triplets cheered as they tied up the sack.

"Congratulations, everybody. Ho, ho!" Santa beamed at his elves.

"Attention! There's a celebration in progress in all departments," The woman announced on the PA. "All elves are to party down, and, Santa, you shake that bowl full of jelly!"

"Hmm?" Santa blinked as he suddenly stopped dancing.

"Sorry. Got carried away." The woman replied sheepishly before signing off.

"Okay, I really hope that that was Mrs. Claus." Felicity said nervously.

"Sounds like Jane's parents chaperoning a school dance." Carlos commented.

And so, the visitors in the North Pole decided to take their exit when they still had the chance.

"It's been fun, fellas." Huey said as it was time to go.

"See you." Dewey added.

"Bye. Take care of yourselves." Louie concluded.

"Well, you guys, we ruined Christmas and then saved it, all in one day," Felicity remarked. "How many kids can say that?"

"Yeah, but I guess there's no presents for us this year." Huey softly reminded as he gestured to the Good List doors, making him and his brothers very sad again.

"To think we were this close to gettin' on the good list..." sighed Louie.

"Close, but we still failed." Dewey added.

"At least we tried." Mal shrugged.'

"Tried, but failed." Huey replied.

An elf was soon in front of the doors, whistling while he worked like a dwarf, as he came inside the doors with janitor tools.

"Or did we...?" Dewey asked as the doors were opened with a key inside as he looked wide-eyed with his brothers.

The kids stepped inside and gasped as the elf janitor went straight to work in the room, unaware of his company.

"Whoa... That must be Santa's list..." Zofia pointed out as she saw a long piece of paper with millions of names on it.

"And he checks this twice?" Evie asked before laughing. "I can't even remember 90% of Cosmo quizzes I've taken after testing in school for finals."

"Hey! You're not supposed to be in here!" The elf janitor glared at them. "You know the rules!"

"There's an emergency in sporting goods!" Dewey cried out, thinking quickly. "Someone tossed their Christmas cookies!"

"Oh, dear! Step aside!" The elf janitor gasped before grabbing his mop bucket and mop before running on out of the room. "Duty calls!"

"Freaks me out at how easy it is to do that, you know?" LJ commented as he and the others made their way inside.

The group marveled at the wondrous room around them as the fabled list rolled itself to the end at their feet.

"We were right..." said Louie. "Our names are nowhere on this thing!"

"Not for long!" declared Dewey as he put out his hand. "Pencil, Huey."

The red-clad duckling handed his blue brother the writing tool he requested.

"Maybe the names are in alphabetical order?" asked LJ. "That might explain why you can't see yours at the very end of the list?"

"That makes sense," Evie nodded. "Like in yearbooks or any other list with names on it."

"Better safe than sorry," Dewey insisted as he took the pencil. "Everything we've worked for."

"We'll show Unca Scrooge!" Louie added.

The others looked nervous and hesitant about letting the ducklings do this to themselves. Dewey was just about ready to jot down his and his brothers' names, but... Something compelled him to stop.

"Well, Dew, what're you waiting for?" Mal asked.

Dewey looked over and soon went back to writing down the names.

"No! I thought that was gonna stop you and see the error of your ways and, and, and-" Mal ranted before she stopped herself. "And why am I talking like this? I'm starting to sound like Felicity!"

"Hey!" Felicity glared. "I'm right here, you know!"

"Oops." Mal smirked a little bit.

"That'll show him!" Louie smiled once a new addition added to the list.

"This is gonna be the best Christmas ever!" Dewey added.

"All right!" The triplets soon cheered and jumped for joy while LJ, Zofia, and the teenagers looked unsure about this.

"So... How what?" Carlos asked.

"Now, we head back home, and fast!" Huey replied. "Christmas morning will be here soon!"

And so, they got into a different package, were shipped in Frosty Freight again, and soon made it over to the McDuck mansion's doorstep. The box was tossed onto the steps, but the kids rolled out and landed on top of each other in pain.

"Hey! The box said 'fragile'!" Carlos complained.

"Actually, I think it's pronounced 'fra-gee-lee'," Jay replied. "I think it's Italian."

Carlos gave Jay a deadpan expression.

"Well, as bad as that was, at least we did something to make up for the gigantic blunder we committed..." LJ yawned. "...Maybe the big guy will give you guys at least a present each..."

"I don't really care about presents," Mal shrugged. "Let's just head inside."

The others agreed and soon came inside the mansion as it was a fresh new morning: Christmas morning.

"You think it worked?" Louie asked.

"I sure hope so." Dewey shrugged as they came inside.

"Look! There it is!" Huey pointed out as he found a present under the tree.

"That one must be for you guys." Felicity guessed.

"Santa must be scary fast." Carlos shrugged.

"Maybe," LJ replied as he glanced around the tree. "But there are also things for you back here."

The kids came to take a closer look at the tree.

"Christmas! Christmas! Christmas!" Webby cheered as she ran down the stairs, racing in excitement.

"Webbigail, do please settle yourself down a little bit." Mrs. Beakley sighed as she came downstairs.

"So exciting!" Panchito beamed as he slid down the banister like a little kid.

"Feliz Natal, my friends." José smiled warmly.

"Good morning," Cherry greeted as she and the other adults came down the very large staircase, though Webby was nearly flying all around the room. "Merry Christmas, everyone."

"Step aside! Coming through!" Donald called out childishly, racing down the steps.

"Donald, set a good example." Xandra advised.

"Joy to the World, and all that jazz," said Lionel as he was now downstairs. "Morning, everyone!"

"Good morning, boys," Scrooge greeted his grandnephews. "Up and dressed already? Oh, would ye look at that?" he then asked once he saw the present. "Is that for you, laddies?"

"Actually, it's for you, Unca Scrooge." Louie replied as he pushed the present over.

"For me?" Scrooge asked in surprise.

"It's from Santa." Louie nodded.

"Really? Should I open it?" Scrooge asked them.

"Yeah!" The triplets beamed before opening up the present for him anyway.

The other kids began to look and feel confused since they were sure that the triplets wrote their own names on the Nice List when they were back at the North Pole, but they didn't say anything about it yet. They soon tore off the golden wrapping paper and there was a green box inside that was opened up with the gift.

"It's what I've wanted since I was a wee lad in the Highlands." Scrooge gasped and beamed as he picked up a special set of bagpipes from inside the box.

"Talk about subverting expectations," Zofia remarked. "I guess they put Scrooge's name on the list instead of theirs."

"Huh... Well, how do ya like that?" Mal shrugged with a small smile.

"You wanted bagpipes?" Donald snorted at his uncle.

"I guess you finally made it onto Santa's good list." Louie smiled as he and his brothers hugged their granduncle.

"Mission accomplished." Dewey smiled, giving a thumb's up to Huey and Louie.

"Merry Christmas, Scrooge," Cherry nodded. "Well, it's a bit early, but since we're all up right now anyway, I suppose we could sit down and exchange gifts now."

The kids soon rushed over to the other side of the tree to get themselves some presents.

"Whoa... Check this out... SPORE..." Mal grinned as she opened her present to find a very dark and gothic comic book, speaking in a deep, husky voice, almost like Batman. "Out of the darkness he rises to kick butt! Kerak! Blam! ...That hurt you more than it hurt me!~"

"I knew she would like that series." Thor smirked to himself.

"Smart," Lionel nodded. "What else did you all get?"

"Valentine: The Dark Avenger?" Evie asked as she picked up her comic book. "...Never heard of this one."

"Heh... That's a pretty interesting story..." Cherry smirked. "She made a nice honorary Justice League member, I'll tell ya that much... I'll tell you it someday."

"Hm... Okay..." Evie shrugged before smiling as she opened her next present which was also a beauty make-up kit which wasn't surprising as she instantly applied blush on her cheeks. "Ooh, I just love Madam Marmalade's Marvelous Make-Up~"

"Try saying that three times fast," Jay smirked as he opened up his present to find his own comic book set that came with his own weights since he was a strong boy. "King Cobra, huh? Kinda reminds me of an old staff my dad once had. He called it 'Amara'." he then added softly at the name.

"Ant-Man?" Carlos asked before shrugging. "Meh... I guess I'll give it a read."

"You're welcome for the comic books," Thor smiled. "I thought you guys might like to check out the world of superheroes."

"Yeah," Lionel agreed. "We've had plenty of experience in that field, and so does your cousin Terry!"

"Did you do this on purpose, Father?" Felicity asked Thor.

"I might have," Thor smiled innocently with a small shrug. "Especially for something in the future."

Felicity looked curious before she shrugged and she sat down to check out what presents she had, smiling at one comic book which had Raven from "The Teen Titans" on it. Huey, Dewey, and Louie opened up their presents next.

"Aw, cool!" Louie beamed, finding a toy robot.

"Whoa!" Dewey smiled as he found a football.

"Hey, look! I got a train!" Huey beamed as he opened his present.

"Well, glad you guys got gifts after all," LJ commented. "So I guess our good deed paid off in the long run!"

"I have no idea what that means, but you sure sound happy." Cherry said, giving LJ a present and Zofia another one.

"I sure am, Mom." LJ nodded, accepting the present.

"I am too, Mother." Zofia added.

"Look at my glider!" Dewey smiled, taking out a toy plane next.

"Hey, look! I got a Jailbreak Bob!" Louie added, showing a very familiar doll.

"Be good this year, see? And have a Merry Christmas." The doll advised him.

Webby opened her present before taking out a doll that had a pink dress, tutu, and a big bow on its head, making her look deadpan.

"Oh, what a lovely doll, my dear little Webby," Mrs. Beakley smiled warmly as she put her hands together. "It suits you so well."

The boys chuckled playfully at her since she was given a doll.

"Sure, if you're into that sorta thing." shrugged Webby with a roll of her eyes.

"Wow! Curse of the Judas Chalice!" Zofia beamed at her gift, being the next in her Librarian book series collection. "Thank you, family!"

"You're welcome, dear." Thor, Lionel, and Cherry replied warmly.

"And last but not least..." LJ declared as he began to search through the pile for anything that might've been for himself.

The others leaned in curiously to see what LJ would get as his gift. Inside a rather large box was a set of Transformers figures AKA the robots in disguise.

"...WHOO-HAA!" LJ whooped as he held up his prizes in his hands.

"I knew those were the right ones." Cherry nodded.

"Better than those Van-Pires and Motor-Vaters that that one old man was trying to sell me on the streets after I started shopping after Thanksgiving dinner." Thor mumbled.

"The nerve of that creep!" Lionel added. "Who'd have thought some people could be so cruel?"

"So you like your gift, LJ?" Thor smiled at the younger boy. "It was not easy getting those at the market... And, uh, I couldn't use some 'special assistance'... Ya know." he then added, wiggling his fingertips a little as magic dust briefly sprinkled out to show what he meant by that.

LJ smiled up at Thor and gave him a hug. "Yes, Uncle, I like my gift. And thank you." he replied.

"You're very welcome, buddy!" Thor beamed as he hugged LJ back.

Overall, it seemed to be a very good Christmas morning for all of them.

"Gee, can you imagine if we were superheroes or something?" Mal smirked at Felicity, Jay, Carlos, and Evie.

"It'd make going to school a little more difficult sometimes," Felicity smiled bashfully. "I mean... Waking up, going to school, and then saving the world? I don't think I could do it."

"Well, you guys did get powers during our Caballeros trip," LJ replied. "And so did I. Personally, I think we could hack it, like that Static Shock kid in Dakota!"

"Static Shock... Heh..." Thor chuckled to himself.

"He does have a point," Jay smirked. "Maybe we could test some of this out to see if it takes us anywhere."

"Lemme guess, another new adventure?" Mal guessed.

"Hard to say for right away, but it might be fun," Zofia shrugged. "Stranger things have happened, especially in my books."

"I'd just need a super cute outfit, maybe we could meet some new friends, and go to new places and, and, and..." Evie beamed from the excitement.

"Slow down there, Evie, no one's going anywhere yet except back home after our Christmas Vacation is finished up," Thor told the fashionista girl. "But... I'll see what's going on for you if you would like. Just don't get too excited."

"Besides, I'd probably be like an anti-hero like Dark Mark, Batman, Black Bat, or this Spore guy or whatever." Mal shrugged at herself.

"Maybe," Jay replied with a shrug. "But if I was an anti-hero, I'd rather just be a fun one, like that Deadpool guy."

"Hm... That seems to suit you." Mal smirked.

"Why, thank you, Mal." Jay smirked back.

"Where?" Donald mumbled as he fumbled through the presents, trying to look for something in specific.

"Guess you're looking for something in specific?" Felicity asked before groaning. "Oh, great, now I'm talking like that."

"Where?" Donald muttered as he kept looking.

"Uh, Donald? Is this what you're looking for?" Xandra asked as she found a present with the duck's name on it.

"That's it! Oh, boy!" Donald beamed, taking it and opening it up instantly. "Huh...?"

"So, what'dya get, buddy?" Oswald asked.

"Erm... 'The Big Book of Manners'." Donald said, showing a golden book to the others.

The others couldn't help but chuckle a little at that.

"Guess it might help you out next time!" Della snickered.

"Hmph." Donald pouted at his sister.

"Merry Christmas, my darlings." Della smiled warmly at the boys.

"Merry Christmas, Mom!" The triplets beamed as they soon hugged her together.

"There's one thing I still don't get," Dewey spoke up then. "Why do you suppose Santa gave us presents too?" he then asked his brothers.

"Hey, fellas! Look!" Louie told his brothers as he found a letter.

The Moltenschwartz kids decided to join in while their parents helped David and Elyse to their own presents which were classic baby toys and some other stuffed animals to keep their current favorite toys "company and friendship".

"'Dear kids, there's always room on my list for those who think of others first'," Mal began to read the letter aloud. "'Keep up the good work. Oh, and thanks for the help in the toy shop. Love, Santa'."

"'P.S. You might need these'." Felicity added as she took a look at the letter next, finding something else.

"Marshmallows!" Louie beamed, finding something else in the envelope.

"Uh, nope," LJ replied. "The only marshmallows that come in yellow are those Easter Peeps..."

At that moment, Scrooge came into the room, playing "Deck the Halls" on his brand-new bagpipes.

"I think those might be earplugs." noted Lionel as he put on a pair of earmuffs, along with two extra pairs for Thor and Cherry.

Everyone popped in earplugs or wore earmuffs as Scrooge played his song, looking very happy with his brand new bagpipes.

"Boy, that's bad on the ear." Donald mumbled, ripping out a couple of pages from his book to stuck inside his ears.

Xandra groaned as she wasted no time in doing the same thing.

"Merry Christmas indeed..." Mal commented before looking over and found a letter addressed to her.

"Another letter?" Evie asked.

"...Seems to be from Dad..." Mal said softly as she looked at it, going back and forth.

"Are you gonna open it?" Felicity asked.

"...Maybe later," Mal suggested as she put her letter away for now. "I guess I'll just spend Christmas with this family for now."

"Works for me!" Felicity replied with a small smile.

Mal had a small smirk at Felicity in response, though they winced before putting in their own earplugs as Scrooge played Christmas carols on his bagpipes.

"They started out selfish, those rascally brothers, but made Christmas magic by thinking of others." The narrator's voice soon said as that story seemed to come to a close.

"Boy, you said it!" Noelle and Susie added as they watched from outside the McDuck mansion window.

"Glad that worked itself out." Susie commented.

Noelle nodded before she and Susie went away. The kids looked out the window as the two suddenly went away.

"So how long have those two girls been around?" Jay asked.

"What? I thought they came with you!" Louie replied.

"You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming, To town~" Noelle and Susie sang together as they walked away from the mansion.

"You guys! There's two random girls singing in the yard!" Carlos called out as the two girls continued to sing as the story drew to a close.

"Okay, that was definitely weird," said David. "Ah, well. I guess now's a good time to wish everyone who reads this a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and whatever holidays you celebrate in Winter. Hopefully 2021 is better than 2020!"

"Y-You mean it's over already?" Elyse asked David, coming up to him.

"El, they just saw everything that could happen here," David told his twin. "Besides, we couldn't do much for Mickey, Pluto, and Goofy."

"We didn't get to do anythin'~" Elyse pouted. "'Specially after what we were told 'bout Christmas with the others in Daycare."

David patted his sister on the back. "Yeah, I know..."

The others just looked over as David and Elyse babbled together.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Carlos wondered.

"Dunno," Jay shrugged. "Probably about how awesome it is to have me as a big brother."

Carlos rolled his eyes in deadpan again, shaking his head, but he knew how Jay could get sometimes.

"See you next year!" David and Elyse soon said, waving goodbye to the readers of the story.

The End!
