Rating: K
Pairings: See which ones you can spot!
Ages: N/A
Summary: A day of peace and tranquility. A moment to breathe and think back on the year and the new year that is to come... Naw you know there's got to be some chaos involved.
"I'm telling ya, a pit of lava is the most intimidating thing one can have in a booby-trap-infested secret lair."
"But your guy can't just fly randomly like mine-"
"That's what the lava bubbles enemies are for, dear hunter."
Skulker hummed and nodded his head, making the ball on the end of his santa hat, bob. "I see your point. I will think about your advice, King Koopa."
Bowser grinned and inhaled, puffing up his chest, not hiding his pride.
"A'Bowser! Your'a kiddo is a paintin' on the portraits." The two villains flinched when Mario's voice piped up from the living room. Bowser grumbled.
"What is that boy doing. I told him he could only bring his paint brush if he DIDN'T do this." Bowser stomped off, spying Bowser Junior snickering as his painted the final touches of a beard on a man's portrait that previously didn't have facial hair. "Junior!"
"Yipe!" Junior yelped and hid his brush. "Uh, I didn't do it?"
"No more, got it?"
Junior sighed and nodded. Bowser looked around before patting his son on the head. "Good boy. It needs horns though, don't forget how to properly vandalize next time."
Junior grinned evilly. "You've got it, pops!"
Bowser and Junior then walked down the hall, passing a entrance showing an interesting contest taking place. Ganondorf, Chū, and Dan Phantom were glaring at each other. Each had a cup of egg nog in front of them.
"You blokes realize you can't out-drink a demon, right?" Chū chuckled.
"You forget. I am a demon king." Ganondorf expressed with a cold calmness that would've made others weak in the knees.
"You're both fools. I don't even have any physiology. I can't be effected at all," Dan sneered cockily and leaned back a bit on his stool.
"How about I give you back some of your humanity, temporarily?" Ganondorf offered, still not showing a hint of what he was feeling or thinking, other than a smirk.
"Making a deal with the devil? Eh, why the hell not?" Dan shrugged. The sound of their mugs clacking together was drowned out by the sound of the front door slamming open.
"I'va got the star!" Luigi called out, clutching a brick square to his chest.
"Oh that's great Luigi!" Daisy smiled, clasping her hands together, interrupting the talk she, Peach, Zelda and Hermione had been having. "Don't forget to ask someone else to handle it."
"Don'ta worry. Oh-a Jake!"
"The Mac-daddy dragon is on it, green dude!" Jake spoke up, sailing into the room as a dragon. Luigi had already tapped the bottom of the block to make the star pop out. Jake grabbed the star and hovered over to the tree.
"It'sa- oh never mind." Luigi huffed.
Jake laughed lightly as he lit some candles on the tree by delicately blowing some fire.
"Looks great, Jake-y," Trixie spoke. Rose smiled up at him from one of the living room's openings.
"Waaaaaahhhh!"
"Whoa where you going, bud?"
Jake blinked. "Was that my dad's voice?"
Peach smiled. "I believe he was helping the Iron man put up more lights."
Jake slapped his face and walked outside, using the front door. "Hey there, son!" The american dragon looked up to see his dad being lowered to the ground by Tony.
"I'll handle it from here."
"Alright, come on Dad."
"You bet Jake-a-roo. I could use some hot cocoa."
Tony watched the two walk inside before turning back to the lights on the house. "X in the bottom left." The side of the house suddenly illuminated to show a game of tic-tac-toe instead of the normal lights.
"You really think you're going to psyche me out, don't you?"
Tony looked over his shoulder. "Little 'ole me? Outsmart, you? Banish the thought. It's just a friendly game during a friendly season."
Bruce Wayne didn't even lift a brow. "O on the top left."
"Now we're cookin'!"
A horse appeared in the distance. It wore antlers behind its ears and had something red painted delicately on its nose. It's rider was dressed in a red tunic; behind them the horse was pulling a pile of logs through the snow. Link got to the stables and made sure Epona was comfortable before carrying the wood inside.
"So the ecto-purifier helps to stabilize the negative energies that normally try to close natural portals between space-time?" Banner asked.
"Yes, it's quite a temporary fix really because-" Vlad just about spilled his drink when Jack threw an arm around his friend's shoulders.
"If you don't clean it monthly the thing collapses and causes an explosion!" Jack grinned broadly, while Vlad silently steamed.
Maddie nodded her head. "However, we think trying to find a way to re-direct that extra negatively charged energy into a different kind of converter to help cycle the energy and power the portal itself-"
"Would make a stable energy cycle…" Banner finished. "It could actually work."
"BEWARE!"
The four scientists talking looked over when they heard the characteristic cry and then a shout of surprise, curious as to who the weak ghost had actually startled.
"Hahahaha! You should've seen your face, Kuwabara!"
"Shut-up Urameshi!"
"Hey I wasn't done talking to you, short stuff!"
"Who are you calling short, dog-man!?"
Kurama sweatdropped as Inuyasha and Yusuke touched noses and actually growled at each other. "Surely we can avoid this?"
"Inuyasha-"
Inuyasha's head shot up. "Wait, Kagome!"
"Sit-boy!" Inuyasha screamed out right before he forcefully face-planted into the wood floor. Miroku gracefully caught Inuyasha's small cup of ramen he'd been eating, in midair. "You never learn, do you?"
"Shut-it, monk."
"Hahaaha! You really are a dog-man!"
"Yusuke…" The detective tensed right before he felt an iron grip on his ear.
"Keiko! Stop it!"
"Who wants cookies!?" M'gann exclaimed in excitement, coming out from a part of the kitchen. Jazz was standing next to her with another plate of cookies.
"Me me me!" Junior came running down the hall and snatched a cookie. "Thanks pretty ladies!" Jazz chuckled until suddenly a large wet pink tongue smacked into the side of the platter and made the whole set of cookies fall to the carpet. Yoshi and Cujo attacked them like rabid animals.
"Whelp… time to make some more."
"I'll help you, Jazz."
"Thanks, M'gann."
"I could always assist?" Quicksilver suddenly appeared beside the two girls, trying to turn up the charm.
"Unless you want meatloaf for a face, I suggest you don't talk to either of them. Danny and Superboy will rearrange your body parts, pally." Wally chuckled after stopping just as suddenly beside them.
"Naw, Danny wouldn't be as direct. He'd try and torment you indirectly, being a ghost and all," Dick Grayson grinned.
"Pah, you're all no fun. No fun at all."
"Hey, I'm the definition of party-time. Race ya?"
"You're on traffic cone."
"It's on."
The two were gone before you could blink. "I'll make sure they don't kill themselves!" Dick laughed and jogged through the back door. Jazz and M'gann only smiled at each other before returning to the kitchen.
"Dan! What do you think you're doing!?"
"Oi! Bloke, it looks like you're in trouble."
"I'm older than you, Jazz!"
"You're fourteen!"
"On my death certificate, yes. Chronologically, no."
"You're hopeless."
"You're just now catching on?"
Outside, Dick stopped trying to find Wally and Quicksilver and took the time to watch Artemis and Hawkeye chat about archer stuff and take turns trying to make trick shots. He looked over and then saw Pikachu, Piplup, Axew, Dedenne, Azurill, Geodude, and a Treecko try to build a snow Snorlax. An Umbreon was giving them light to work under as they rolled the icy spheres. At one point the Azurill seemed to get cold and Pikachu convenced them all to head inside.
"Hey buddy!" Ash laughed as Pikachu leapt up onto his trainer's shoulder. The other pokemon dispersed, trying to find their trainers in the crowds. A Treecko pulled itself into Max's lap right afterwards.
"Blimey, to think those little blokes can create lightning and all," Ron murmured.
"Pokemon sure can be powerful when they want to be," Max responded and adjusted his glasses. "Isn't the right, Treecko?"
"Tree!"
Harry smiled before he noticed something odd in his view. "Hey, Danny. What are you doing?"
Danny was seemingly hiding behind an entranceway frame as though spying on someone. He flinched and looked over his shoulder before sighing relief. "Phew… Oh I'm just trying to sneak up on Randy. Me and Sam are… on a mission I guess."
"What kinda mission?" Max asked. Ash only chuckled softly as his eyes glowed a faint blue.
"No spoiling the surprise, Aura-boy!"
Ash held up his hands in surrender. "These lips are sealed. Guardian's honor."
"No fair, mate!" Ron whined.
Danny then flinched and looked back. "Time to pounce." The boy then vanished.
"I'm still not entirely used to that," Max murmured.
Around the corner, Randy screamed out in surprise and fear as he was suddenly whisked through the air and away from his talk with Howard and Tucker. Everyone that saw him fly past just watched, not helping. "Some friends you all are!"
"Some of us try to murder people like you for a living you know, remember that!" He heard someone yell.
"But it's Christmas!" Randy then grumbled. "Let me go Danny. I know it's you."
"Danny isn't the ghost you're looking for~"
"Oh for crying-out loud! I-ahhuack!" He was dropped finally and almost stumbled right into Theresa. "Ooops! Sorry. Danny was kinda being a weirdo…"
"Ha ha… It's fine. I was talking to Sam, but she seems to have disappeared…"
"Oh…" Randy looked around, trying to think of something to say. He happened to look up and see a sprig of mistletoe. He narrowed his eyes. "Those sneaky sons-of-biiiiii~" Randy trailed off when his muttering attracted Theresa's attention and she spied the mistletoe.
"Oh!" She flushed a bit. "So that's what they were up to."
"We don't have to-"
"Well… no…" She mumbled.
Suddenly something struck the ground, hard enough to make the house shake and for them to stumble. Theresa fell into Randy's arms and he held her like he had no clue what to do with what he was given. "Uhhh…"
"Thor! Don't just drop that damn thing!"
"Sorry Natasha! Slipped my mind."
Randy and Theresa both swallowed and unknown to them, both Danny and Sam were watching invisibly. They leaned closer-
"I swear, Brock. You should be grateful! Natasha would've made you into mince-meat! Are you insane? Her boy-friend is a hulking green giant half of the time!"
"Ow ow ow ow! The ear!" Brock whimpered as Misty drug the pokemon doctor through the opening Randy and Theresa were in, not noticing what she'd interrupted. After they were gone, Randy and Theresa backed away from each other shyly.
"Damn it!" Sam and Danny suddenly appeared.
"Easy, Sam."
"But for God's sake, they were so close!"
"Danny!"
Danny whipped his head up to come face to face with a masked teen, the ninja. "I'm going to turn you into a full ghost you little devious-"
"Eep!" Danny yelped and then faded from sight.
"NINJA-PURSUIT!" Randy yelled before running off. He flashed past where Link and Thor were standing, staring at a sword and a hammer.
"Would you like to try first?" Thor asked smugly, gesturing to his hammer. Link blinked at him and shrugged, then nodded. The swordsman leaned down and then attempted to pick up the hammer. He strained, pulled and tried to get some kind of leverage, to no avail. "It appears as though you are not worthy." Link scratched the back of his head and then smiled sheepishly at Thor. "I guess it's my turn next."
Link nodded and carefully laid the master sword down on the wood floor. Thor then bent down, gripped the handle, and pulled. Nothing. The sword was practically glued to the ground. Thor grunted and wiggled it about, but it wouldn't even budge.
"It seems as though your weren't chosen by the goddesses…" Link murmured, a tiny smirk trying to find its way onto his lips.
Thor laughed. "It appears so, friend!" He then clapped Link's back, making the hero almost fall forward onto his face.
"I bet I could lift it…" Superboy murmured nearby. Superman chuckled lightly and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"Maybe, maybe not. It's not truly about weight. It's more about the enchantments on those weapons. They are made for their wielders."
"I wish I had a cool special weapon like a sword or something," Danielle mumbled. "How fun would that be?!"
"You really are strange, Dani," Superboy spoke and smirked.
"Hey, life is short! Might as well make it exciting while it lasts!" Danielle giggled.
"You are right about life being short, that's for sure. That why times like these are important. Moments to sit back and think about where we've come from and where we might go. For the people we're thankful for and happy to have met…" Superman talked warmly.
"Yeah…" Danielle answered, calming down. She looked over and saw Zelda kiss Link softly on the cheek. The hyrulian man's cheeks and ears turned a bright red. Superboy smiled when the girl flew off, looking for her family.
zz
Everyone gathered in the living room with drinks; even though it was a tight squeeze, no one cared. The fire was roaring after Jake had lit the logs Link had brought in. The light from the lights outside, the auras of the ghosts, the fire and the Christmas tree, softly illuminated everyone's faces.
"Merry Christmas everybody~"
"Merry Christmas~"
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! God Bless.
