Chapter 2:

Watching from his Viewing Pool, the Oracle observed as the Guardians and Defenders delivered the presents to those who were in need of Christmas cheer.

Will Vandom

"Now let's see.", Will said as she looked around for her first house to deliver presents to. "Ah-ha! There's one!"

Sure enough, Will saw a house that had a white aura around it. Will quickly flew down to the house and looked in the windows to see that no lights were on. She then teletransported inside. Once inside, Will looked around the Living Room to see the no one except a little African-American boy sleeping on the couch.

'Must of fallen asleep waiting for Santa.', Will thought with a smile as she reached into the sack to start leaving presents. 'Let's see if this works right.'

The first thing Will pulls out is a remote control truck.

"Wow!", Will says quietly. "Let's see what else they get!"

Will then pulls out a very nice looking watch.

"That has to be for the father.", Will says as she reaches into the sack.

Will then pulls out a make-up kit.

"And this is for the mother.", Will said as she continued pulling out stuff.

Ten minutes later, Will has pulled out all kinds of presents and put them under a tree. The last thing she pulls out is a stuffed lizard toy that she places next to the little.

"Merry Christmas, little guy.", Will says quietly as she prepares to teletransprt out of the home.

But before she does, Will spots a plate of sugar cookies and a glass of milk with a note next to it. Will picks up the note and reads it.

Dear Santa Clause,

Here are some cookies and milk for your long trip. Thanks for the presents.

Mark

"Thanks for the cookies, Mark.", Will said as she ate a cookies and drank the milk.

Will then grabbed another cookie before teletransporting out of the house.

"I could get use to this!", Will said as she flew to the next house.

Scott O'Flannery

"Now let's see what this family gets.", Scott said as he reached in his sack. "Wow! A Sled!"

After putting the sled under the tree, Scott reached in the sack and pulled out a baseball bat.

"This must be for the son.", Scott said as he reached into the sack to finish leaving presents.

Before Scott knew it, he was almost done. As he was reaching in to pull out the last present, he felt someone tug on the back of his pants.

"What the...?", Scott questioned as he turned around. "Uh-oh!"

Scott looked down to see a little girl and boy. Each had blond hair. The boy had green eyes and the girl had blue eyes. Both were looking a bit drowsy as they were rubbing their eyes.

"Hello Lass and Lad.", Scott said softly. "And why are you up?"

"We had to use the bathroom.", the little girl said.

"Are you Santa?", the boy asked.

"No, Lad.", Scott said as he knelt down to the kids. "I'm one of his helpers. You see his reindeer got sick and he needed help to deliver the rest of the presents. And that's why I'm here."

"Are the reindeer okay?", the little girl asked with concern.

"They'll be just fine.", Scott said. "But it's time for you two to get some sleep."

"Okay.", the two kids said as they got up on the couch, where they had blankets at.

Scott then reached into the sack and pulled out a teddy bear and a doll.

"I know who these are for.", Scott said as he gave the boy the teddy bear and the girl the doll. "There you go kids."

"Thank you, Santa's Helper.", the kids said.

"You're welcome, kids.", Scott said.

"Don't forget the cookies.", the girl said.

"And milk.", the boy added.

"Thanks.", Scott said. "Now go to sleep."

"Okay.", the kids said as they laid down.

Scott then ate one of the cookies.

"Mmmm! Chocolate chip!", Scott said before drinking the milk. "Time to go."

Scott them teletransported away, leaving two very happy kids, who slept well with their presents.

Irma Lair

"So far, so good.", Irma said to herself as she tip-toed towards the tree. "And now to leave the presents."

As Irma reached into her sack, the lights suddenly came on! Irma turned to see a little Asian-American boy staring at her.

"You're not Santa!", the boy said.

"No, I'm not.", Irma said with a small smile.

"Get her!", the boy yelled.

"Huh?", Irma questioned.

Suddenly, another Asian-American boy and girl jumped out from behind the couch with plastic bats. the first Asian-American boy whipped out his own plastic bat and, along with the other two kids and charged at Irma.

"Whoa!", Irma yelled as she flew in the air, surprising the three kids.

"Whoa!", the three kids said as they looked up at Irma.

"Wow!", the Asian-American girl said. "You can fly!"

"Um... yeah.", Irma said as she lowered herself back to the floor. "I'm one of Santa's Helpers."

"Santa's Helpers?", one of the Asian-American boys questioned.

"Yeah.", Irma said. "Santa needed help with delivering presents, and he asked me and my friends to help."

"Cool!", the three kids said.

"Now off to bed, so I can do my job.", Irma said witha smile.

"Okay!", the kids said as they ran out the room.

"Um... sorry about the bats.", one of the Asian-American boys said.

"It's cool.", Irma said. "Not off to bed."

With a bright smile, the boy turned the light off and headed to his room. Irma quickly left the presents that were supposed to be left there and got ready to leave. But not before getting her some cookies and milk.

"Got to love that gingerbread!", Irma said before teletransporting away.

Tommy Fernandez

"Well this house looks cozy.", Tommy said as he began to pull out presents. "Well, somebody is going to be happy with this toy robot!"

Tommy then pulled out some wrapped presents that had clothes in them.

"Somebody must of wanted a lot of clothes.", Tommy said as he reached in a pulled out a pretty big bone. "Now who would want a bone?"

Tommy then heard the sound of tiny footsteps come from behind him. He turned to see a little Scottish Terrier standing behind him.

"I guess this is for you.", Tommy said as he gave the dog the bone.

The dog happily took the bone and began gnawing on it. Tommy then went back to leaving presents. From a remote control boat to a DVD player. Once he was done, he ate two sugar cookies with sprinkles and drank the milk and teletransported to the outside.

"That's another house down.", Tommy said as he took to the air. "And a whole lot to go."

Tommy then flew to the next house to deliver presents.

Taranee Cook

"Four houses and nothing bad has happened.", taranee said as she teletransported into her next house. "This is going pretty well!"

Taranee wasted no time putting the presesnts under the tree. As she was putting presents under a tree she felt something tap her on her leg.

"Wha...?", Taranee questioned as she turned around to see a little boy with black hair and green eyes looking up at her. "Um...hi."

"Who are you?", the little boy asked.

"Um... I'm one of Santa's Helpers.", Taranee said. "I here to deliver you and your families presents."

"Oh.", the little boy said. "Wanna cookie?"

"Um...sure.", Taranee said with a smile.

The little boy ran to the stand where he had the cookies and a small bottle of milk and gave a cookie and bottle of milk to Taranee.

"Here you go.", the boy said as he gave them to Taranee.

"Thank you.", Taranee said. "Now you should head off to bed, so you can open your presents in the mourning."

"Okay.", the boy said before giving Taranee a hug. "Merry Christmas, Santa's Helper."

"Merry Christmas.", Taranee said with a warm smile as she returned the hug.

The little boy then ran off to his bedroom, leaving Taranee to finish putting the rest of the presents under the tree. Once she was done, she ate the cookie and drank the milk.

"I wonder if I'll meet anybody else.", Taranee pondered as she teletransported away.

Angelo Vanders & Cornelia Hale

"A homeless shelter?", Angelo questioned as he looked at the aura of white light that was around the building. "Homeless or not, everyone deserves a Christmas."

Once he was close enough, Angelo teletransported inside the shelter. Once inside, he saw that there was a tall Christmas tree in the shelter's Living Room.

"Time to get to work.", Angelo said as he began to pull presents out of the sack.

"Aaaaaaah!", came a female voice.

"What the...?", Angelo questioned.

A minute earlier...

"Where am I?", Cornelia questioned as she looked inside the room she was in. "And where's the Christmas tree? I must of teletransported into the wrong room."

Cornelia then began to leave the room she was in to look for the Christmas tree. Now just as she was about to leave the room, she heard a growling sound behind her, making her cringe a little.

"Please don't let it be what I think it is.", Cornelia said as she turned around slowly. "Please don't let it be what I think it is."

Cornelia turned around to see a German Shepard staring at her ready to pounce.

"Nice doggy.", Cornelia said as she backed away slowly. "Good doggy. Stay where you are."

"Woof! Woof!", the dog barked as he ran at Cornelia.

"Aaaaaaah!", Cornelia yelled as she ran for it.

Present Time

Angelo looked to see Cornelia running from a German Shepard, who was hot on her tail!

"Cornelia?", Angelo questioned surprised to see her.

"Angelo?", Cornelia questioned being just as surprised to see him.

Remembering that the dog was right behind her, Cornelia and a hid behind Angelo. Seeing the dog coming, Angelo stood his ground as he stared down the dog.

"Stop!", Angelo said with his palm held out, stopping the dog. "Sit! Stay!"

The dog sat and stayed where he was. Cornelia slowly peeked out from behind Angelo to see that the dog was sitting.

"How did you...?", Cornelia began to asked.

"You got to stand firm sometimes.", Angelo said. "So them who's boss."

"And if that doesn't work?", Cornelia asked.

"Then you run for your life!", Angelo said with a grin. "Now what are you doing here?"

"I saw the aura around this place and came here.", Cornelia replied. "I then ran into the barking wonder here."

"Maybe we're both suppose to be here.", Angelo said.

"Guess so.", Cornelia said. "Well, let's get started."

"I wonder how the others are doing.", Angelo replied as he and Cornelia were unloading the presents and putting them under the tree.

"Knowing Irma, she probably got caught by some kids.", Cornelia said with a grin.

"That would be so funny!", Angelo said as they continued to put presents under the tree.

"Hey!", Cornelia said as she pulled out a bone. "I guess this is for you."

Cornelia then gave the bone to the dog, who took it happily and walked off.

"Well, that takes care of him.", Cornelia said as she reached in and pulled out another present.

Minutes later, they were finished putting presents under the tree.

"And that's that.", Angelo said as he went for the cookies. "Aw, snap! They got oatmeal raisin!"

Cornelia reached down and grabbed a cookie and ate one as well. They then saw that there was only one glass of milk between the two of them.

"Go ahead.", Angelo said.

"Thank you.", Cornelia said as before she drank the milk.

"I see us working off all these cookies and milk for the next few weeks.", Angelo said.

"Who the heck are you?"

Angelo and Cornelia turned to see a African-American male with a bat in his hand. He was in his thirties and was dressed in a pair of sleeping pants with a robe and slippers on.

"I'll ask again!", the man said as he prepared to swing his bat. "Who the heck are... Are those presents?"

"Yes. Yes they are.", Angelo said. "You see, we're here to spread some Christmas cheer."

"So, that's what the presents are for.", Cornelia said. "

"Well I'll be.", the man said. "I don't know what to say, except thank you. The kids are going to love this."

"No problem.", Angelo said as he and Cornelia headed for the door. "We have to get going now, sir."

"Yeah sure.", the man said as he opened the door for them. "Merry Christmas and God bless you both."

"Merry Christmas.", Cornelia said as they walked out of the place.

The man turned to look back at the tree with all of the presents. He then remembered that he didn't get their names.

"Wait!", the man said as he turned around. "I didn't get your..."

The man looked to see that they were gone.

"...names.", the man finished as he looked down to see that there were no tracks in the snow. "What in the world? Where did they go?"

Just then the dog came out and began to bark up at the sky.

"Hush, Bruno!", the man said as he pulled the dog inside. "Get back inside before you get sick."

The dog let out one last bark before the door closed. Up in the sky, were Angelo and Cornelia, who both breathed a sigh of relief. They both high-fived each other before flying off to their next houses.

Ricky Smith

"So far, I haven't been caught yet.", Ricky said as he began to put presents under the tree of the house he was in. "I wonder how the others are doing. I wonder how many houses I have left."

As Ricky was finishing up, he noticed a little girl laying on the couch.

"Now that brings back some memories.", Ricky said with a smile.

Ricky then grabbed the purple stuffed cat, that he put under the tree, and laid it next to the little girl. Once she felt the stuffed cat, the little girl, who was still sleeping grabbed the cat and held it close. Seeing that made Ricky smile as his eyes watered up a bit. He then wiped his eyes ate a cookie and drank the milk.

"Merry Christmas, kid.", Ricky said as he teletransported out of the house and flew of to his next house.

Hay Lin

"Wow!", Hay Lin said as she looked around the Living Room, of the house she was in. "All the other houses had kids sleeping in the Living Rooms. This one might be an easy one."

"Now!"

"Huh?", Hay Lin questioned before a sheet was dropped on her. "Hey!"

"We got him!", Hay Lin heard a little boy cheer.

"We got Santa Clause!", a little girl cheered.

"We got him! We got him! We got him!", the two children cheered.

As the two childern cheered and danced around, Hay Lin stood up and worked her way out of the sheet to see two little African-American kids. One boy and one girl. They both had black and brown eyes. Hay Lin then cleared her throat getting the kids attention. The two kids looked up to see what looked to them like a very tall elf.(Remember the ears and that the caps hides her identity, folks.)

"You're not Santa!", the boy said.

"No, but I'm one of his helpers.", Hay Lin said with a smile. "Now what's with the trap?"

"Well, we wanted to prove that Santa was real.", the girl said.

"So, we decided to set a trap.", the boy added.

"Well, it worked.", Hay Lin said.

"Sorry.", the two kids said.

"It's okay.", Hay Lin said. "But I need you two to go to bed so I can leave your presents."

"So, we're not in trouble?", the little girl asked.

"Of course not.", Hay Lin said with a smile. "No one got hurt, so it's okay. Now it's time for bed."

"Okay!", the two kids said as they ran up to Hay Lin and hugged her. "Thank you, Santa's Helper."

"You're both very welcome.", Hay Lin said.

The two children then headed off to bed, so Hay Lin could leave the presents under the tree. Hay Lin wasted no time putting the presents under the tree.

"Well, that's the last of them.", Hay Lin said as she put the last present under the tree. "I don't know how Santa does it without getting caught."

Hay Lin the ate some cookies and drank the glass of milk.

"Sugar cookies with a Hershey's Kiss in the middle!", Hay Lin said after drinking the milk. "I'll have to make some of those later this week."

Hay Lin them teletransported out of the house and flew to her next house.

Sho Ling

"This has been a pretty good night, so far.", Sho said as he teletransported into his next house.

Once in the house, Sho began to take the presents out of the sack and place them under the tree, making sure not to make much noise. Within fifteen minutes, Sho was finished putting the presents under the tree. Sho then ate a cookie that was on the plate.

"Peanut butter.", Sho said as he finished the cookie. "Not bad."

Sho then drank the glass of milk. He was about to grab his sack and teletransport out of the house. But when he turned to grab his sack he saw that a bulldog was in standing between him and his sack.

"Uh-oh!", Sho said. "Okay, easy now. I'm just going to take my sack and leave. Okay?"

The bulldog growled at Sho making him step back.

"Well this isn't good..", Sho said as he stood there. "How can I get him to move?"

Sho then looked at the dog as it licked it's lips.

"You must be hungry.", Sho said as he grabbed one of the cookies. "Want a cookie?"

Once Sho showed the dog the cookie the dog walked towards Sho and took the cookie and began to munch on it. Sho petted the dog and then grabbed his sack and teletransported out of the house.

"Well, that was fun.", Sho said as he flew to his next house.

A few hours later, and with their speed, our heroes were done delivering the presents and were on their way to the North Pole.

"You will not believe what almost happened to me tonight!", Irma said as they were heading North.

"I bet I can top it.", Cornelia said.

"I bet I could top you both.", Hay Lin said.

"Well, at least the presents were delivered.", Sho said.

"This was kind of fun.", Scott said.

"Think Santa will let us do it again next year?", Ricky questioned.

"It would be kind of fun if he did.", Will said.

As they got closer to the North Pole, something crossed Hay Lin's mind.

"Guys!", Hay Lin said getting everybodies attention. "We forgot about Blunk!"

A/N: After delivering all of those presents and going through all kind of stuff, our heroes got the job done. But now they have to go do what they planned to do for Blunk. Let's hope they can pul it off in time.

Please review.
