18 days till' X-MAS
Tony's POV
"Let's be grateful for friends and family, and for food, and for the great spirit of giving." Pepper said as she gave a toast before everyone began to feast on the turkey dinner that Steve had made for us. "Here Here!" Thor agreed enthusiastically. "We really do need to step up on our community service though," Bruce said, "We haven't done any good deeds yet this holiday season like we usaully do." "Yeah," Natasha said, "Last year we were such good role models. Remember how we shoveled snow from parking lots and helped deliver food to homeless people." "We need to step up our game." Pepper noted. "What could we do?" Bruce added.
Conviently, the phone began to ring. I jumped up to go answer it. "Hello this is Tony Stark." I greeted. "Hi, I'm Rose Mcguerd, I work at the Woodwill orphanage on third street." The woman on the phone said, "Its almost Christmas and stuff and I was really hoping that maybe the avengers could come visit the orphanage. The kids here don't really ever get presents or the joy of the Christmas season. Maybe you guys could host like a Christmas event for them or something to brighten their spirits a little." Hmm, community service idea. Bing bing bing. Bruce and Pepper would be siked, they're both such do gooders, Steve too. "We'd be happy to drop by," I told Rose, " you can expect us to be there next weekend. How does Saturday sound?" "That would be great it would mean a lot to the children here."Rose chirped, "See you guys then!" And she hung up.
I returned to the table. "Good news guys," I said, "I just got us a community service event. We are hosting a Christmas party for the kids at the local orphanage next Saturday." "Great!" Pepper said as the wheels in her head started turning as she planned what we could do at the party. "There should be food, and presents, and music, and we can just hang out with them, we can bring coloring books, and we can do demonstrations, and every one has to wear their costumes! I mean uniforms. Oh! And some one will have to dress up as Santa."
"I'm not being Santa." I said, "I'll bring my ironman suit though." "And I'll bring my shield," Steve said, "And I want to color with the kids too." "Me and Nat will bring a radio and play Christmas music." Clint said, "We are fabulous dancers." "I will bring the mighty hammer mjonir." Thor boomed. "And I'm on snacks." Pepper added "I think we should bring hot chocolate, cookies, and pizza."
"Good plan!" I said. "But what should I do?" Asked Bruce. "Bruce, you are going to be Santa!" Pepper said excitedly. "What? But I'll be terrible at that." Bruce complained. "None sense, my friend." Thor added, "you will be wonderful." "Yeah! I'll get you a costume" said Natasha, "it will be great!" "Oh God." Bruce mumbled.
