After Insecto picked us up and a quick towel dry, we were flying to Washington, D.C. by Hathaway's wishes. By the time we were flying over Kansas and Oklahoma an hour later, we received the news that the ship collapsed into two pieces and sunk into the ocean. I bet anything environmentalists all over the world were having a mad house as well as complete pandemonium.

Arriving at the White House, we were given an hour to look our best. When you're invisible, you don't worry about having to look your best 'cause no one would notice. Elijah wore a casual sportscoat over a blouse and a pair of slacks. Phyllis cut off the pantlegs and half of the sleeves from her suit and wore a black pair of jeans, a pair of matching boots and a pair of fingerless corset gloves. Albeit, she looked good in her new outfit. Liv wore a strapless satin blue dress and walked toward a platform with Monger, dressed in a tux, at her arm. Doc got his clothes dried in the nick of time, and Susan wore her white dress again. Link and B.O.B. had no need for clothes and wore black bowties.

Link noticed the definite sign of Liv's choice between him and Monger. In a bit of a sulking position, Insecto purred in comfort.

"It's okay, B." He reassured. "You all are there to be my homies and make me laugh. I can get over this."

We all walked onto the platform along with Kathy Hathaway, Aaron, and another woman behind President Hathaway. Unfortunately, I got stuck next to the little brat.

"Did you bring me a Wii game?" He asked me, smiling.

"I didn't." I shrugged. He frowned. "Sorry, buddy. When you're a monster, there a little hard to come by. Who's the lady by your mom?"

"That's my sister Alma."

"Say 'Amanda', baby." Kathy hissed. "Alma's not a nice name!"

"Alma's twenty-three." I looked over. She kept a straight face and was dressed in a sensible cream-colored business dress. You could tell she was a Hathaway by her mid-back length hair the same color as her dad's and the same face shape as her mom's. "It's not nice to stare, you know."

I turned over to my right where Link was. "Did you know Hathaway had a daughter?"

"Yeah, I met her." He replied. "She's quite different from the rest of her wacko tribe."

"Everyone," Hathaway began broadly. "I would like to thank our wonderful friends, the monster team, for not only being here today but for saving a good portion, I mean all, of our nation from an alien armada." I smirked. Apparently Mr. President heard wrong. "Yes, I know. Quite the shocker, I know. Not something you do to a forty-year-old."

"You mean forty-five." I mumbled. That took him by surprise.

"Who said that?" He turned to me. "You?" I smiled smugly and nodded my head. "Never mind." He said embarrased into the mic. "As you may notice, there are three new monsters along with our heroes. I would like to present to you Coyosapien, Electrill, and Faytale and reward them for their heroism. Let's give 'em a big hand, shall we?" The audience cheered and applauded the three. "Thank you. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. God bless America and don't forget, 'In Monsters we Trust.'"

It was now Christmas time. For Christmas Eve, B.O.B., Doc, and Liv went with Susan to Modesto, and Elijah, Phyllis, and Link went with me to visit my family in Prince George. We stayed inside the entire time because it was so cold out.

We were now in the middle of Christmas Day. A large tree stood in the middle of the room. Doc was sitting at the table reading The Periodic Table of the Elements B.O.B. got him and taking notes of certain elements. Susan, meanwhile, was reading Pride and Prejudice as a present from all of us, seeing as books for her are hard to come by and make. Link, Phyllis, and Elijah were playing Rock Band on the Wii courtesy of Doc while listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra that I bought for Phyllis. Liv sat down at the same table Doc was at, listening to a soundtrack Phyllis bought for her. She translated one of the songs from French to English and took turns singing the two languages.

Danse mon Esméralda,
Chante mon Esméralda,
Danse encore un peu pour moi,
Je te désire à en mourir.

B.O.B. cocked his head at her, so she paused the song. "When you lived with monsters from all over the world for sixty-three years, you become familiar with all sorts of languages." She explained before turning the song back on.

If you wonder where me and my darling blob are, we were watching The Nightmare Before Christmas that was a present from Susan. Seeing as it was a mix of Halloween and Christmas, B.O.B. sighed.

"You know what?" He asked me.

"What?" I replied.

"I sure do wish it was Halloween again."

"B.O.B., for a lot of people here, every dayis Halloween."

"Really? That's so cool."

"I'm really glad we got rid of those aliens." I said later out of the blue.

"Not quite, no-see." Phyllis told me. "We only destroyed a scout ship. It should be a few years before the real thing comes back."

"Okay." Link squeaked.

"And Monger knows about that?" Doc wanted to know.

"Yup." Elijah reassured, putting down his guitar.

Everything seemed content as it was as Liv sang the chorus in English.

Dance, my Esmeralda,

Sing, my Esmeralda,

Let me go with you.

To die for you is not death.

Yay! I finally finished it! The age correction was something I did to a lady after she around a baseball field for no reason. The song is "Danse Mon Esmeralda" from the musical Notre Dame de Paris. And for the science lovers, I do recommend the book. It's by Theodore Gray.

As you have probably seen, my next MvA fanfic, "A Lifetime," is up. And when I'm almost finished with that story, I'm starting the third story of the Invisoline Trilogy: The Invincible Adversary. Thank you all so much, HappyHappyJoy14, Claws-McDonald, IllBeStronger, and girltechcoyote! You all are wonderful!
