Chapter 3-Garmadon's Family Christmas

AN: This is the last part-Enjoy! I don't own Ninjago!

Christmas day had finally arrived. Garmadon thought it would be fun to dress up as Santa and surprise Lloyd with his Santa get up. He even got real reindeer-he had just borrowed them-not stolen them.

Lloyd woke up and came into the kitchen to see his mom making coffee. "Hi mom, Merry Christmas," he greeted.

"Merry Christmas, honey!" Koko said, giving her son a little peck on the cheek.

"So, where's dad?" Lloyd asked.

"I don't know. He got up early, said he had something to do," Koko replied.

Lloyd wondered what that meant. With Garmadon, it could mean anything.

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the other room. Koko and Lloyd went into the living room to see what it was. There were several reindeer in the room-where the heck did they come from? Then they saw Garmadon coming into the room through the window (since there was no chimney in the apartment), dressed up in a Santa suit.

"Ho, Ho, Ho. Merry Christmas!" Garmadon greeted. He had a big, red bag on his back.

Koko giggled. Garmadon looked cute.

He came up to Lloyd. "I've heard you've been a good boy this year."

"Dad, I appreciate the effort, but I'm not seven anymore," Lloyd said, feeling embarrassed.

"Oh, yeah, o-okay. Y-you're right," Garmadon answered sadly. He sighed deeply and his bottom lip wobbled, and he started pouting.

Lloyd saw his father's expression. "Um, it's okay, dad. You go ahead and be Santa."

Garmadon perked up and began handing out gifts to everyone. Koko did tell him that the reindeer had to go.

Lloyd opened his gift from his dad which was the video game he wanted. "Thanks, dad, uh, I mean Santa."

"You're welcome!" Garmadon answered. He had put the reindeer on the roof until he could take them back and was sitting on the couch next to Koko with one of his arms around her shoulder.

Lloyd opened his gift from his mom which was a new hoodie jacket, as his old one had gotten ripped.

"Thanks mom!"

"Of course, sweetie." Koko opened her gift from Lloyd. It was a gift card to her favorite spa. "Oh, Lloyd, thank you so much!"

Lloyd smiled. "You're welcome, mom."

Garmadon then opened his gift from Lloyd. It was a DVD collection of the best of Shark Week from the Discovery Channel. It made him smile.

"Thanks, son. I'll enjoy this," he told his son.

Lastly were Koko and Garmadon's gifts to each other. "Open yours first, Koks," he told her.

Koko carefully unwrapped the little, neatly wrapped box. She gasped when she opened it. It was a gold pendant on a chain.

"Open the pendant," Garmadon told her with a grin.

Upon opening the pendant, Koko found a little picture of the three of them, which had been taken when Lloyd was just a baby. She turned to Garmadon with sparkles in her eyes and threw her arms around him.

"Thank you, Garm! I love it!" she told him. She kissed him on the cheek.

"You're very welcome," Garmadon told her, feeling very happy that she liked the gift he gave her. He helped her put it on. It looked great on her.

"Now, open yours," Koko said excitedly.

Garmadon also had a small box and wondered what would be inside. When he opened it and saw what it was, he was shocked. It was a key to the apartment.

"Koko-what?" For once, he was at a loss for words.

"I want you stay, permanently, Garm," Koko told him, with a blush on her face.

Lloyd smiled at his parents. Koko had discussed this with her son ahead of time, just to make sure it was okay with him, but he was all for it.

"I-I don't know what to say," Garmadon replied. He suddenly got choked up, and flames of tears started running down his cheeks.

"Oh, Garm, just say you'll stay," Koko told him, hugging him around his neck, also feeling touched by his display of emotion.

"Of course, I will! I feel honored," the warlord replied, wiping his eyes. He looked over at his son. "You guys are like the best present I could have gotten this year. Thank you."

Lloyd came over and joined his parents on the couch. "Let's hug this out," he said.

Garmadon thought he could get used to this for sure.

THE END
