11 Louds a Leapin' (Or in this case, 13 Louds a Leapin')
Twas the night before Christmas Eve and through the Loud house. Every Loud is asleep except for one white hair eighteen years old. He put on his clothes and his winter outfits and give his daughter a kiss on the forehead.
Logan: Good night, my little princess. [Logan left the attic, close the attic door, head downstairs, and went out the door; Logan are looking at the house before getting in his car and driving off.]
[Christmas Eve morning]
Anastasia: Dad? Dad! Where are you? [Anastasia went downstairs and sees her grandmother looking for something] Hey, grandma. What are you looking for?
Rita: I'm looking for my plaid Christmas table cloth. Have you seen it anywhere?
Anastasia: Nope. Haven't seen it. Have you seen my daddy though?
Rita: Sorry, honey. I haven't seen him at all today.
Anastasia: [sad] Oh, okay...
[Anastasia left to go look for her father, leaving Rita to continue looking for her table cloth. A few minutes, Anastasia walks over to the bottom of the steps, where she sees Lincoln and Lola there.]
Lincoln: Hey, Anastasia! Where's Logan at?
Anastasia: I don't know. When i woke up this morning, he wasn't there.
Lincoln: That's weird. He doesn't have work today or tomorrow.
Anastasia: Exactly! [notices Lola in the boot pile] Why she is the boot pile?
Lola: Getting Lincoln's winter boots. Speaking of which, here you are, good sir! [puts Lincoln's winter boots on his feet] Two big brother boots. Boy, these are stylish!
Lincoln: [suspicious] Okay, what do you want?
Anastasia: Yeah! You're being a little too nice to him. Spill, pig!
Lola: [quiet voice with an evil grin on her face] To get a good haul from Santa. [normal voice] See, contrary to popular belief, i am no angel. So, if I'm going to get on Santa's nice list, i have one day to undo twelve months of naughty!
Anastasia: Tch. If you think you can undo all of that stuff in under one day, you are in a rude awakening.
Lisa: [off screen] She's right. You're wasting your time. [wheels in a whiteboard with equations as she comes on screen and begins pointing to sections with a candy cane] Factoring in sleigh speed, time zone changes, and reindeer bathroom breaks, it is scientifically impossible for this so-called Kris Kringle to deliver gifts to the approximately one billion qualifying children. As you can see, X equals no stinkin' way. [bites into her candy cane]
Lola: [growls] You're lucky I'm being nice right now!
[Anastasia walks away still wondering where Logan at.]
Anastasia: Where is he... [sees Lynn lifting a dresser and Lucy looking underneath]
Lynn: See anything?
Lucy: Nope.
[Lynn puts the dresser down and winds her arm.]
Anastasia: What are you two doing?
Lincoln: Looking for gifts for Mom and Dad, huh? [whispers] Have you checked Dad's underwear drawer?
Lynn: [sarcastically, walking away] Have we checked Dad's underwear drawer?
Lucy: Lincoln, please. This is not our first rodeo.
Anastasia: [smell something awful] Eww! What is that smell? [Anastasia and Lincoln walks over to the kitchen to wonder what the smell was]
Lynn Sr.: [singing] Dashing to the stove... [stops singing] Hey, kids. You're just in time to try the Crown Jewel of Ol' Dad's Christmas Eve feast... [Opens the pot and smoke comes out all over the kitchen]... The Figgy Pudding!
[Smoke comes through the window.]
Lincoln: [chuckles] And ruin the surprise at dinner? I don't think so!
Lynn Sr.: If you say so. Anastasia, do you want some?
Anastasia: I'm good.
Luan: Look at Dad getting figgy with it! [chuckles and clicks her remote] Number five!
[Counter says 5
Lynn Sr.: Ah, i love the 12 Puns of Christmas. Luan, you wanna try my pudding?
Luan: Sorry, Dad. Yule have to ask someone else. Get it? Yule? That's six! I just sleigh myself! Ooh, seven! [clicks her remote twice]
[The counter goes to 6 and 7 as both laugh while Anastasia scowls painfully at them.]
Lynn Sr.: Sleigh!
Lincoln: [to the viewers] Yup. Everyone around here is full of Christmas cheer.
Mr. Grouse: LOUDS! What's that awful stench?
Lincoln: Well, everyone except for our crabby old neighbor, Mr. Grouse. He really lives up to his name. Especially around Christmas.
Anastasia: You can say that again.
Mr. Grouse: LOUDS! Turn down that annoying music! LOUDS! Shut off all those horrible lights!
Lincoln: Sheesh. [leaves]
Anastasia: Oh yeah, i almost forgot. Grandpa, have you seen my daddy today?
Lynn Sr.: Nope, not at all.
Anastasia: Dang it! [gets a call and answers it] Hello? Oh, hey Becky! What's up? Nothing much. Just trying to figure out where my Dad is. [leaves]
[Later, Anastasia is sitting on the couch watching TV with Jerry.]
Anastasia: I wish i knew were Dad went, Jerry. It's not like him to not be here on Christmas Eve.
[Just then, Lynn and Lucy comes in and begin looking under the cushions. Lucy then pick up Anastasia from the couch and sets her aside as Lynn lifts it to see if there's any presents under it.]
Lucy: No presents for us under here.
Lynn: [drops the sofa] Dang it!
Lucy: We could look in the basement. How do you feel about lifting the water heater?
Lynn: [tightens her belt] Let's do this!
[After Lynn and Lucy run off screen, Lori pops up as the Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy plays. She tiptoes to the row of stockings and takes a yellow and red present out of her mother's pink stocking. She sniffs it and sighs in satisfaction. Anastasia sees her doing and get suspicions about it.]
Anastasia: Uh, Aunty Lori? What are you doing with grandma's present?
Lori: Present? [hides the present behind her back] What present? I don't have a present!
Anastasia: Hmm, okay?... [slowly walks away with Jerry]
Lori: I don't think Mom will mind if i just peel back the corner a little. [tugs on the ribbon]
Luan: [off screen] Hold it! [camera pans to show her] You are mistletoe-tally busted! [Lori and Anastasia's eyes narrow as Luan chuckles and clicks her remote] That's eight!
[The counter reads 8]
Anastasia: So you were trying to open the presents early again, weren't you?
Lori: [high-pitched sigh] I can't help it. The sound of paper tearing, the smell of tape, that moment when you stick the bow in your hair. [tackles Luan] Gimme that!
Luan: You gotta kick this habit, Lori. We don't want a repeat of last year.
[Lori's eyes widen as a flashback of the previous Christmas starts: tearing sounds are heard as the Loud kids, sans Lori, look on. The view changes to show Lori, rocking in an unwrapped box with several bows in her hair. Many unwrapped presents are in the background.]
Flashback Lori: [laughs] You guys got some great stuff!
[Flashback ends]
Anastasia: I still haven't forgave you for that incident.
Lori: You're right, Luan. I gotta fight this!
Luan: Well, there's no time like the present! [chuckles and presses her remote] That's nine.
[Counter reads 9]
Anastasia: You're lucky it's Christmas Eve.
Lori: [returns the present to her mother's stocking] I can be strong. I will not open another gift until Christmas morning.
Anastasia: [scoffs] I'll believe it when i see it.
[The doorbell rings. Lori opens the door.]
Short Delivery Man: Delivery for Miss Lori Loud. [stuffs a giant green and red present through the door.]
Lori: [reads the tag] To Lori. Open immediately. [stops reading and groans] Universe, you are literally testing me. [The Short Delivery Man walks away but yells as a crash is heard. Letters fly off and Lana comes outside.]
Lana: Woohoo! [runs over to see the Short Delivery Man in a metal cage] My reindeer cage works!
[Lori is now pushing her big present inside.]
Anastasia: You know what I'm in the mood for, Jerry? Some apple juice! Let's go get see juice. [walks over to the kitchen]
Lola: [feigning kindness] Oh, mother. You've done so much to make this glorious holiday perfect. Allow me to look for the tinsel and after i find it, I'll rub your tired, aching tootsies.
Rita: [pulls paper dolls out of a box] Thank you, Lola. That's very nice of you.
Lola: [gasps and faces skyward shaking her fist.] Did you hear that, Santa? She said "nice"!
Lisa: [walks in the background with her candy cane, speaking in a sing-song tone.] Wasting your time...
Lola: [to herself] Control yourself, Lola. She's not worth it.
[Anastasia leaves the kitchen with a juice box in hand and sees Lincoln runs past with binoculars to go outside.]
Anastasia: What is that boy up to? [Jerry squeaks] Yeah, you're right. It's not of our business. [takes a sip of her juice and give some to Jerry then walks back to the living room to watch tv again.]
[Outside, Lincoln climbs up the slide to get a view of Mr. Grouse's house. Clyde suddenly pops up.]
Clyde: Hey, Lincoln!
Lincoln: [screams and slides down the slide, hurting his rear] Clyde!
Clyde: I'm okay! [wearing his crooked branch on his hat]
Lincoln: I see you toned down the mistletoe this year.
Clyde: Yeah. I don't want a repeat of last year.
[Flashback: Clyde puts on yellow lip balm and walks along with a bush of mistletoe on his head.]
Flashback Clyde: Pucker up, my Christmas queen!
[A hawk swoops down and picks up Clyde, causing him to scream. The flashback ends.]
Clyde: [sighs] So what's the plan?
Lincoln: [draws with a twig to show the plan] You'll go to the front door and sings Christmas carols here. When Grouse comes out to yell at you, I'll hop the fence and grab Big Red here.
Clyde: Strategic genius! [points to a yellow puddle in the snow] One question: what's that?
Lincoln: [grossed out] Ugh! Charles!
[Charles shrugs innocently as he enters the house]
[Clyde is at Mr. Grouse's front door]
Clyde: [talking into his walkie-talkie] Turtledove to Sled Man Walking. I'm in position.
Lincoln: Copy that, Turtledove. Commence caroling.
Clyde: [blows a note on a kazoo and practices his vocals] Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi! [gets out some sleigh bells, jingles them, and starts singing] Dashing through the snow / In a one-horse open sleigh.
[Mr. Grouse answers the door as Clyde continues to carol.]
Mr. Grouse: [annoyed] Stop your off-key caterwauling! I don't care for carolers.
Clyde: [still caroling] Laughing all the way.
[In the backyard, Lincoln hops the fence and goes behind the tree. He sneaks over to the crate and spots his sled. He goes over to a wheelbarrow which causes the logs to roll out of the way and make a commotion.]
Mr. Grouse: [yelling at Clyde] Go on! Get! [hears the clattering] What the Sam heck was that?
Clyde: [still to the tune of Jingle Bells] Don't look in the yard / There's nothing there to see / Got lots of songs to sing / So keep your eyes on me. Hey!
[Mr. Grouse pushes him into the snow and goes to check the backyard. Lincoln pulls the logs back into place, gasps, and hides. Mr. Grouse comes in and finds Big Red and grabs it.]
Mr. Grouse: [to the Louds' backyard] My yard. my property! [goes inside and slams the door]
[Lincoln comes out of the logs and sighs in defeat.]
Lincoln: I can't believe i lost Big Red.
[Luna steps outside still trying to find her Christmas song.]
Luna: [strumming and singing] Merry Christmas, honey / If you don't have a gift, I'll gladly take money / I wrote it down on my Christmas list / If i don't get my prezzies, I'm gonna get- [gets cut off by Mr. Grouse]
Mr. Grouse: LOUDS! KNOCK OFF THAT RACKET!!! [leaves his house]
Lincoln: [hopeful] Clyde! Do you see what what i see?
Clyde: [looking up] A star, a star, shining in the night?
Lincoln: No. Mr. Grouse just left. I can sneak into his house and get my sled back.
Clyde: What? You can't do that! That's Mr. Grouse's property.
Lincoln: But that sled is my property. I'll just slip through the doggy door, grab Big Red, and he'll be none the wiser.
Clyde: But what if you get caught and go to jail, and they only let family visit? You know i haven't married Lori yet, so the guards won't let me see you-
Lincoln: CLYDE! None of that's gonna happen, because you're gonna be my lookout.
[Later in the Loud House, Anastasia is trying to call her father but it went to voicemail.]
Voicemail: This is Logan Loud. I am busy at the moment. Please leave a voicemail.
Anastasia: [Ends call and growls enraged] WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING YOUR PHONE?!!!
[Jerry came to Anastasia to see if his best friend okay.]
Anastasia: [sighs sadly] I'll be okay, Jerry. I just a little sad, that's all. And these Christmas movies isn't making it better! That and the loud noises anyone is making.I would go outside, but i don't want to get caught in Aunty Lana's traps. [hears one of Lana's traps get set off]
Lana: YEEEEEES!!!
Anastasia: Just like that. I wonder what Uncle Lincoln is doing.
[Over at Mr. Grouse's house, Mr. Grouse tried to call the Loud parents but doesn't get an answer from them.]
Mr. Grouse: No one's answering. Probably can't even hear the phone over all that racket. [hangs up and drags Lincoln to the fireplace] Till i reach your folks, you can clean up the mess you made. [hands Lincoln a broom]
Lincoln: Why do you have to be so mean all the time? I just wanted my sled back. [points to the photo he saw earlier] You of all people should understand that. You had one, too.
Mr. Grouse: [tilting the photo down] Stop snoopin' and start sweepin'! [hears the phone ring] Ah, that's probably them. Get to work! [Lincoln angily sweeps as Mr. Grouse goes to answer] Hello? Oh, hey, Junie. Sorry i didn't call back.
[As he speaks to Junie, Lincoln overhears it, stops sweeping, and listens carefully.]
Mr. Grouse: [sadly] No, it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it back for Christmas after all. I'm sorry. I know it's been five years, but i just don't have the money to travel this Christmas.
[Lincoln then notices a photo of Mr. Grouse with family and feels sorry.]
Mr. Grouse: Tell the girls Uncle Buddy says hi and loves them whole bunches. I miss you, too. [hangs up and comes back] I thought i told you to clean up your mess!
Lincoln: I didn't know you were from a big family.
Mr. Grouse: What's it to ya?
Lincoln: Well, it's just, it must be hard not to see them at Christmas.
Mr. Grouse: Enough! Go on home! [shows Lincoln the door]
Lincoln: So, you're not gonna tell my parents?
Mr. Grouse: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
[Lincoln leaves and Grouse slams the door on him. After learning what he found out, Lincoln feels terrible for his neighbor until he gets an idea. Just then, he gets a call from Clyde.]
Clyde: [on the walkie-talkie] Come in, Sled Man Walking. [Lincoln picks up] Are you okay? I'm sorry i compromised the mission. One minute, i was in your yard, the next, i was six blocks away. I broke my mistletoe. So long, holiday smooch.
Lincoln: Sorry, Turtledove. Everything's okay here though. Rescuing Big Red was a bust, but now, I've got a new mission. I'll call you back with the plan. [signs off and heads home]
[Inside the Loud House, Anastasia tries to stop Lily from chasing Geo and Jerry, but get drag in the process, Lola is vacuuming and dusting, Luan is making a popcorn string, Lisa is still reading her book, and Lucy is contacting spirits as Lynn watches on with hope.]
Lucy: Oh, Ghost of Christmas Past...reveal to us where the presents are hidden.
Lynn: [anxious] What'd he say? What'd he say?
Luan: You two definitely have the Christmas spirit! [chuckles and presses her remote] That's eleven!
[The counter now reads 11. Cliff avoids a bear trap Lana laid out.]
Lori: [stir-crazy] Can't take it any longer! MUST OPEN! [rushes toward her present]
Lana: [lassos her with the lights] Whoa, girl! [drags her back]
Luna: Guys, can you chill? I'm trying to write and I'm down to the wire! [inspired] Ooh! Maybe that's it! [starts playing and singing] Down to the wire / Santa's on fire [groaning] I'm never gonna get this!
[Lincoln comes inside.]
Lincoln: Guys!
[Little does he know that a lot has been happening since he was outside upon seeing the insanity. Enter Leni with yet another new Christmas outfit.]
Leni: Okay, forget that old rag i was wearing before. This is the perfect Christmas outfit!
Rita: [noticing something amiss by the chimney] What happened to the stockings? Seriously, why does everything keep disappearing?
[Leni shushes everyone again.]
Lincoln: GUYS!
[He still can't get their attention and Lily pops out of the stockings on Leni's outfit. Just then, a foul stench hits both their nostrils.]
Leni: [plugging her nose] Oh, Lily, you didn't!
[Enter their dad with the figgy pudding.]
Lynn Sr.: Hey hey hey! I need a taste tester for my figgy pudding!
Leni: [to Lily] Oh, phew. It wasn't you.
Anastasia: To be fair, i kinda wish it was her.
Lola: I'll do it, Daddy! Your figgy pudding is always the highlight of my Christmas! [looking skyward desperately] You're seeing this, right, Santa?
Lisa: [almost done with her candy cane] Truly pathetic.
[Her dad feeds Lola some of the pudding.]
Lola: [chews it forcefully] Mmm...figgy!
Lincoln: GUYS!!! WOULD YOU JUST STOP AND LISTEN TO ME FOR A SECOND?!
[The girls stop and notice Lincoln.]
Lincoln: I was just in Mr. Grouse's House...
[The girls start complaining about their neighbor.]
Lola: That big meanie?
Leni: He dresses, like, horribly!
Lori: He is literally awful!
Anastasia: Why were you over there anyway?
Lincoln: That doesn't matter, and he's not that bad. Well, he is, but now i think i know why.
[Cut to an exterior shot of the house as time passes and back inside with Lincoln finishing explaining to the others why Mr. Grouse is the way he is.]
Lincoln: And then he told me to leave.
[The girls' heartstrings are tugged at upon hearing this.]
Lori: [on the verge of tears] That is literally sad!
Lana: [downtrodden] I can't believe he has a big family, too.
Luan: [heartbroken] And he can't be with them? That's awful!
Leni: Seeing all of us together must make him miss them even more.
Lisa: Usually, I'm impervious to human emotions, but... [bursts into tears and sobs over the news]
Anastasia: That must have suck for him. Poor old man.
Lola: [remorseful] No wonder he's such a grumpy-butt this time of year.
Luan: How did we not notice this?
Lori: [pushes her present aside] Maybe because we're been so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
Lynn: Yeah. We were so worried about what we were getting.
Lucy: [blows out her candles] When we should have been worried about what we were giving.
Lola: And isn't that what Christmas is all about?
Luna: [gasps with inspiration] Dudes! That's it! No wonder i couldn't nail my song! I've been going about it all wrong! [goes upstairs to write it]
Lincoln: We need to do something for Mr. Grouse.
Girls: Yeah!
Lori: But what can we do?
Lincoln: I have a plan! [huddles up with them] Okay, the first thing we do...
[As he explains the plan, the scene trails off from their house to Mr. Grouse's. He closes the blinds not wanting to see what they're talking about.]
[Later that night, Mr. Grouse is getting some sleep in his lounger until a mysterious sound wakes him up.]
Voices: Ooooooooh
Mr. Grouse: [waking up] Huh? Who? What? Can't get a moment's peace. [turns on the light and goes outside to see something that surprises him]
[The Louds and the McBrides are all caroling in front of his house.]
Louds and McBrides: Ooooooooh
Luna:
I used to think Christmas was
About the wish list filled with stuff
I never really needed, anyway
[Lori presses a button and lights up Mr. Grouse's house and yard with decorations]
Luna:
But as long as we're together
It's a holiday
[Everyone joins in as Luna starts strumming her guitar
Louds and McBrides:
It's not what you get, it's what you give
We've got the spirit, clear and loud
Ditch the list, hug who you're with
'Cause that's what Christmas is all about!
We've got the hard part figured out
This year will be the best one yet
'Cause that's what Christmas is all about!
Merry Christmas from the Louds!
HO!!!
[Mr. Grouse is still standing sursurprised from their caroling.]
Lincoln: Merry Christmas, Mr. Grouse.
Lana: We all chipped in and got you something.
Anastasia: Hope you'll like it.
[Lincoln gives him the present and Mr. Grouse opens it.]
Lynn: It's a bus ticket.
Luan: So you can go see your family for Christmas tomorrow.
Rita: And since you can't be with them tonight...
[Rita and Lynn Sr. finally reveal their faces]
Rita: ...we're bringing our family to you.
Lynn Sr.: How 'bout it, neighbor?
[Everyone huddles together and smiles]
Mr. Grouse: [sternly] LOUDS!!! [thankfully] You've made this the best Christmas ever. Thank you. I'd say you all landed permanent spots on Santa's nice list.
Lola: [joyfully] Even me?
Mr. Grouse: Even you.
[Lola runs up and hugs Mr. Grouse's leg.]
Lisa: Once again... [bursts into tears and sobs again]
Mr. Grouse: Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone inside!
[Inside Mr. Grouse's house, to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas, the twins and Anastasia are setting the table for Christmas dinner, Rita is helping Lily put the star on top of the tree, and everyone is doing what they can to make the more festive.]
Luan: There, Mr. Grouse. Now it's not so gloomy in here.
Lucy: Yeah, you ruined it.
Leni: Guys, i finally made the perfect Christmas outfit!
[Everyone looks at the outfit wondering why it's Christmas themed.]
Leni: It's not for me. It's for Mr. Grouse. You can wear it on your trip tomorrow. [puts it on him]
Mr. Grouse: Well, thank you. [notices something] What happened to my curtains?
[Leni shushes him.]
Lynn Sr.: Chow time in five, people!
Mr. Grouse: Before we sit down, there's something I'd like to say.
Lynn: [chanting] Speech! Speech! Speech!
[Lori nudges her to stop.]
Mr. Grouse: Well, i know i haven't always been the friendliest neighbor, and I'm sorry about that. You've all given me so much tonight, now I'd like to something to you.
Lola: We take checks.
[Lori and Anastasia nudges her for that statement. Mr. Grouse opens his closet and reveals all the stuff that landed in yard and took as his own.]
The Loud Sisters: [gasp] ALL OUR STUFF!!!
[They all gather to get their stuff back with cheers.]
Lana: [holding up her plunger] PLUNGEY!!!
Lynn: [picking up an pink teddy bear] Hey, Anastasia, isn't this your teddy bear?
Anastasia: [gasps and snatched the teddy bear from Lynn, hugs it] Mr. Teddy! I been looking all over for you! How did end up here?
[Lola got up and walks away, whistling suspiciously.]
Mr. Grouse: [to Lincoln] I'm sorry your sled was broken.
Lincoln: That's alright. It's only a sled. I'm just glad we're friends now.
[The two of them smile at each other.]
Howard: [overjoyed] Oh, Hare-Bear. Isn't this the most wonderful thing you've ever seen?
Harold: Now, Howie, remember what Dr. Lopez said about- [shaking it off] Oh, forget Dr. Lopez! This is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen!
[Both Clyde's dads walk off sobbing with happiness. Lori walks up to Clyde.]
Lori: Clyde, you know what you're standing under, don't you? [points to a mistletoe]
[Clyde realizes this and starts shaking. Lori gives him a smooch on his cheek.]
Lori: Merry Christmas, Clyde.
Clyde: [blushing and lovestruck] And to all a good night. [faints]
Lynn Sr.: Come on, everybody, sit! Dinner is served! And save some room for the figgy pudding!
[Everyone rushes over to the table to join for dinner.]
[Christmas morning]
Loud Family sans Anastasia: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! [open up their presents]
[Lisa got a new meteorite, Luna got a new banjo, Lincoln got a new video game, Lily got a new teddy bear, Lucy got a glittering Edwin bust, Luan got a magic and comedy kit, Lynn got new cleats, Leni got mew high-heel shoes, Lana got a medieval war fortress play set, and Lola got a princess castle play set. Everyone is having a great time. Everyone except Anastasia who is sitting on the couch, hugging her legs, heartbroken. The family notices this and wonders why she's sad.]
Leni: What's wrong, Anastasia? You look sad.
Luan: Yeah! It's Christmas day. The day where family spend time with each other.
Anastasia: [sadly] That's the thing. It's Christmas and my Daddy isn't here to enjoy it with us. Especially me.
[The others feels terrible for her just as they did with Mr. Grouse.
Anastasia: Let's face it. He probably doesn't want to spend Christmas with us, after all.
[Anastasia hides her face to hide her sadness until a mysterious yet familiar voice coming from the background.]
Voice: Are you sure about that?
Anastasia: Yes... [lift her head up and realizes who voice that is] Wait. Is that...? [looks at the doorway to see Logan there, runs up and hugs him] DADDY!!!
Logan: [picks Anastasia up] Hey there, princess. How are you?
Anastasia: Good, but kinda angry at you. Why didn't leave yesterday and why didn't you enter my calls?
Logan: Sorry, sweetie. Daddy was busy getting you the best present of your life.
Anastasia: What kind of present is it?
Voice: That present is me.
[Anastasia looks behind her to see who that voice belong to, only to see a person with a purple coat on with a hood over the head. The person remove the hood to reveal a black hair young woman with violet lipstick who looks exactly like Anastasia, which can only mean that this woman is none other than...]
Anastasia: [gasps in happiness] MOMMY! [hugs her mother]
Victoria: Hello there, my cub. Nice to see you again.
Anastasia: Nice to see you again too, mommy.
Logan: [walks up to his parents and whispers] Thanks for not telling her the reason why i left. [his parents nods as he walks to the couch to join his family]
Rita: Well, that's all the Christmas presents. Time to start decorating for Valentine's Day!
Lori: Wait! I still have one more! [shows her giant present she's been waiting to open] I saved the best for last! [shakes it]
Present: Ow!
[Everyone looks on awkwardly over what made that noise. Lori opens it up and reveals it to be her boyfriend.]
Bobby: [weary] Merry Christmas, Babe...
Lori: [gasps] Boo-Boo Bear?
Bobby: I couldn't find anything good enough to buy you for our first Christmas together, so i decided to give you myself.
Lori: Ah. That's literally the perfect gift. [hugs him] Oh, i got you a present, too.
Bobby: I hope it's food and water.
Lisa: Santa sure was good to us this year.
Louds sans Logan: SANTA?!
Lola: [credulous] Oh, i thought you didn't believe in him.
Lisa: I didn't until i spied him leaving a present behind the couch last night. [shows a picture of what appears to be Santa labeled "SAMTAICUS CLAUSIMUS"] Behold!
[Everyone gasps at the photo.]
Lynn: [noticing something behind the couch] There is a present back here. And it's addressed to Lincoln.
[Lincoln opens it up and finds it's a new sled.]
Lincoln: Wow!
[The rest of his family is just as surprised as him.]
Lincoln: [notices the label] A Fearsome Flyer 1000?
[This gets him to realize who really left it for him then rushes outside. Victoria pulls out a present from behind her.]
Victoria: I got a present for you too, Anastasia.
Logan: Hope you'll like it.
[Anastasia opens it up and finds it's a purple tiara with jewals on it.]
Anastasia: [gasps; puts the tiara on her head] It's so beautiful...
Logan and Victoria: Merry Christmas, Anastasia. [hugs their daughter]
Anastasia: [to the viewers] Well, there you have it. The grumby old man next door is not grumby anymore. [hears something break off screen]
Mr. Grouse: [livid, offscreen] LOUD!!!
Anastasia: Maybe still a little grumby. My Daddy is back, my Mommy is here for the first time on Christmas, and i got a new tiara! Yep, it is a perfect Loud Christmas. Merry Christmas to all, and all a Happy New Year!
A/N: Well, i did it. Anastasia's mother has finally found her first physical appearance in this story. Now that i finally achieve that, I'm going to take a vacation from writing chapters for my stories. I don't know when I'll be back but i will let you know when i upload something. Till then, enjoy this chapter, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
