"Boys, get ready," Justine told her little brothers. "We're going to Nicktropolis with Mike."

"Nicktropolis?" Boomer asked. "What's that?"

"It's a special place that's next to the border of the city." Justine told her little brothers.

"We're going there?" Brick asked.

"Yeah, who knows?" Justine replied. "You might make some new friends over there."

"Hmm..." The Boys hummed to each other.

"I know you guys will love it," Justine told them. "They have a special arcade."

"Really?!" Brick asked.

"Uh-huh," Justine smiled and nodded. "They call it The Nick Arcade."

"Is it big?" Butch asked.

"Bigger than ours." Justine nodded.

The Boys looked to her and then got into a quick huddle before they all nodded and looked back to their big sister. "We're in!"

"Oh, wonderful!" Justine smiled to her little brothers.

"I just hope Nickmas isn't too different from Christmas." Boomer said.

"I'm sure we'll have better luck," Justine said. "Judy Jetson said in 1,000 years from now, people will fear Christmas because of a killer robot Santa."

"Killer Santa Robot!" Boomer gulped nervously.

"You shouldn't worry too much about that, Boys, that's a long time from now." Justine soothed.

"Where's Justin?" Brick looked around.

"Outside in the backyard." Justine said softly.

"Is he still looking... At them...?" Butch asked softly back.

Justine nodded. Justin was outside in the backyard, looking at the statues of Manu and Snookie who were turned into a couple of stone statues after the effect of the jewel.

"It might take him some time to adjust, but try not to mention it, after all, it is the holidays." Justine told the Boys.

"Yes, Justine." The Boys told their big sister.

"I'm going to check up on him," Justine told them. "You boys go and pack your stuff."

"Okay." The Boys replied as they flew up to their room to do just that.


"Justin?" Justine called which made her twin brother look back at her. "Are you okay?"

"I wonder if they will ever be brought back to normal." Justin sighed.

"It seems like only yesterday when it happened." Justine remembered.


Flashback

Justin and Justine were in their Volcano Twins outfits, panting as they were hurt bad, the same with Manu and Snookie.

"You're finished... Come on, Snookie..." Manu said wearily. "Snookie?"

"Manu, I don't feel so good." Snookie moaned.

Justin and Justine merely looked to their old ex-friends.

"What's happening?" Justin asked.

Snookie soon screamed as she saw that her legs were turning into stone. "Help me, please!" she then pleaded fearfully.

"DRELL?!" Justin and Justine called out in unison.

Drell soon came over and looked to Manu and Snookie. "Oh, boy, I knew this would happen." he then said.

"What?" Justine asked. "What's happening?"

"The jewel is turning them into stone." Drell told the Reid twins.

"MANU!" Snookie cried out as she turned into stone.

"SNOOKIE!" Manu cried back to his girlfriend before glaring to the Reid twins and summoned a sword. "You did this, now you're gonna pay!" he then flew right over to Justin.

"Watch out!" Justine cried out.

Manu was face-to-face with Justin, but he dropped his sword. "What's happening to me? I..." he was then about to fall backwards until Justin caught him. "W-What's happening to me?"

"Drell, can we stop this?!" Justine begged.

Drell shook his head. "I'm sorry, sweetheart."

"You're going to turn into stone and there's no cure." Justin told his old friend.

"We've been tricked!" Manu cried out. "Dr. X never told us about that... Justin, do me a favor... Please, stay by my side..." he then begged with actual tears in his eyes. "I'm scared."

Justin frowned as he felt sorry for Manu right now and soon came toward him.

"Oh, Manu." Justine moaned as she had tears in her eyes as well.

"Justine, I'm sorry that I hurt you," Manu told the girl. "Stay strong for me and Snookie."

"This is really sad..." Justine said in a sad high-pitched voice.

"Goodbye, Justin and Justine..." Manu and Snookie's voices said before they fully turned to stone.

"There has to be a cure, Drell, please!" Justine begged as she grabbed onto the warlock's leg. "PLEASE!"

"I'm afraid not, sweetie," Drell replied. "I'm sorry."

Justine soon let go and broke down crying really hard.

"How unfortunate, I forgot to tell them about the effects," Dr. X mocked as he appeared right behind the twins. "Oh, well, they are no use to me any longer... They were only pawns."

Drell glared to Dr. X while Justine looked miserable.

"You son of a BITCH!" Justin growled as his body then glowed.

"What is this I'm feeling right now?" Drell's eyes widened. "Their energy is sky high!"

"They were good, but they had to go." Dr. X replied carelessly about Manu and Snookie.

Justine growled as her eyes turned as red as molten lava and her body glowed too.

"Until next time, children, we will meet again," Dr. X replied before gesturing to Manu and Snookie. "Oh, could you dispose of these sacks of garbage while you're at it?"

Drell still glared to Dr. X, his blue eyes seething with anger. He then looked over and shivered as Justin and Justine's energies were still rising. "Just as I thought," he then said to himself. "Anger and sadness, that's why their energy is still rising."

End of Flashback


"Don't worry, Justin," Justine soothed her twin brother. "Drell said that he would find a cure for them."

"What if he can't though?" Justin asked.

"I'm sure he can," Justine comforted. "He's the most powerful man in the universe, come on, let's get ready for Nicktropolis."

"Right..." Justin sighed before he looked over at the statues. "Don't worry, guys, we will get you back to normal."


Meanwhile, at the Wonder Twins and Gleek's new home...

"Jayna, have you seen my brown wig?" Zan asked his sister. "Mike said I need to wear it since her friends don't know where it is."

"It's in the closet." Jayna told him.

"I knew that." Zan said.

"Sure ya did." Jayna rolled her purple eyes with a smirk.

Gleek come in with his suitcase which popped open and it was filled with bunch of bananas. Zan and Jayna giggled to their blue monkey. They then heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it," Jayna offered. "Zan, you make sure that we have everything."

"You got it, Sis." Zan replied.

Jayna opened the door and it was the Eds. Ed, of course, just kept ringing the doorbell.

"Ding Dong!" Ed smiled as he kept ringing the doorbell.

"Idiot." Eddy grumbled as he smacked his best friend upside the head.

"Hey, guys, come on in." Jayna invited.

"Thank you, Jayna." Double D smiled.

The Eds came in with their suitcases and sat on the couch.

"What are you guys doing here?" Jayna asked.

"Mike sent us to tell you to be ready in fifteen minutes," Eddy replied. " That's when the boat is leaving."

"We're almost done," Jayna replied. "I just need to put my wig and glasses since I need a secret identity."

"Buttered toast." Ed randomly stated.

"Uh, very good, Ed." Jayna smiled nervously, not sure what to think of that.

"How do I look?" Zan asked as he came down, wearing a brown-haired wig, glasses, a gray top, black pants, a black hoodie, and brown boots.

"The girls will be all over you, Zan, my man." Eddy commented.

"Really?" Zan asked. "Even with these glasses?"

"Some girls like the smart type," Double D said. "I mean, look at me and Juniper."

"Look at those muscles too," Eddy added. "Girls just like strong men!"

"I guess you're right..." Zan shrugged. "What do you think, Ed?"

"Ding Dong!" Ed randomly smiled.

"I mean, your sister is with Justin of all people," Eddy said to Zan. "That was really shocking."

"How come?" Double D asked him.

"I just thought that maybe Justin would rather be with Heather Wong or Courtney Garcia."

"I used to like Courtney, but then she just changed during Total Drama Action..." Double D sighed. "I did think though that her relationship with Duncan would not last."

"I felt bad for Justin when Courtney used him and got him eliminated," Eddy replied. "He should've just burnt her into ashes."

"I'm afraid that no one would be evil enough to do that unless they were heartless." Double D shrugged.

Gleek soon came toward the Eds and smiled to them, giving them bananas.

"Why thank you, Gleek," Double D smiled. "You're so kind."

"How do I look?" Jayna asked as she soon came downstairs, wearing a shoulder-length brown-haired wig, glasses, a purple long-sleeved top, blue jeans, black boots, and a purple jacket.

Eddy turned bright red in the face. "Awesome..."

"You look absolutely beautiful." Double D added.

"Well then, shall we get going?" Jayna asked.

"Ding Dong!" Ed smiled.

"Shut up, Ed." Eddy grumbled.

They all soon left the house and went to get on the docks to head to Nicktropolis.


Meanwhile...

"Ugh... I hate ads on YouTube..." Lil complained as she was watching videos on her phone while waiting for the others to come over for the holidays and saw it was an ad of Plankton singing Christmas Carols on CD which to buy would cost the Krabby Patty Secret Formula.

"I'm so glad that Mike is coming over and bringing her friends." Reggie beamed.

"And Spinelli is coming too," Twister smiled. "Isn't that great, guys?"

The others just muttered about the mention of Spinelli.

"Oh, I just love Christmas," Twister smiled. "The colorful eggs, the bunny, and the candy!"

"That's Easter, Twister." Reggie deadpanned.

"Then what about the turkey, ham, and stuffing?" Twister asked.

"Thanksgiving." Sam told him.

"How about-" Twister was about to ask.

"Twister, just stop, okay?" Otto begged.

"Oh, no." Reggie moaned.

"What's wrong?" Lil asked her.

"Mike is having the Rowdyruff Boys come along." Reggie said.

"The Rowdyruff Boys?!" Sam panicked.

"Oh, cool, those guys are awesome!" Twister smiled. "I love their song I Want It That Way."

"Backstreet Boys, Twist." Everyone else deadpanned.

"Oh... Right..." Twister blinked.

"Will you guys relax?" Lil replied. "The Rowdyruff Boys are good now since they became Justine's little brothers."


Susie soon walked by with Gerald.

"Hey, Suze," Lil waved. "Any plans for Kwanzaa this year?"

"Probably a visit from Aunt T," Susie shrugged as she didn't know yet. "So, what's up?"

"Mike is coming over to spend Nickmas with us and some of her friends." Lil replied.

"And they are going to bring the Rowdyruff Boys too!" Sam added fearfully.

"Oh, okay, that sounds cool." Susie replied.

"The Rowdyruff Boys, Susie!" Sam repeated.

"I heard ya, but I don't know why you're scared," Susie shrugged. "They should be nice since Justine adopted them."

"I'm not afraid to use this thing." Otto said as he brought out his skateboard and used it as a shield.

"Oh, brother." Reggie rolled her eyes.
