Meanwhile, Jo was at the Food Court with her cousin and her cousin's boyfriend...

"Mmm... I love chili cheese fries." Twister smiled.

"What exactly do you see in this guy, cous?" Jo asked Spinelli about Twister.

"I don't know," Spinelli shrugged. "I guess he keeps me happy when I'm sometimes not usually angry."

"Hey, I found a penny, and it's head's up!" Twister beamed. "That's good luck!"

"He's not wrong." Spinelli shrugged to Jo.

"Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have good luck~" Twister sang to himself as he collected his lucky coin.

"Santa is not real," An adult female voice said. "He's a hoax!"

"Poppycock, not true!" An adult male voice argued. "Santa is real as real can be!"

The trio turned around and saw Jack and Maddie Fenton were having their annual Santa Is Real or Not argument.

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton!" Twister waved to the ghost hunting couple.

"Huh? Oh, hello, dear, Happy Holidays." Maddie smiled.

"Be on the look-out for ghosts!" Jack advised.

The two then went back to their argument. Danny was with Jenny, Brad, Sam, and Tucker and banged his head on the table as his girlfriend rubbed his back.

"Every year this happens." Danny groaned.

"It's okay, Danny," Jenny soothed her boyfriend. "I'm sure they'll get over it soon."

"I don't think it's possible, Jen," Tucker spoke up. "Because they've been doing this every year since Danny was a baby."

"Thank you, Tucker." Jenny deadpanned.

"Parents," Brad shrugged. "They tend to go overboard sometimes."

"Hey, Brad, where's your little brother?" Jenny asked. "I thought you were supposed to watch him."

"He wanted to go to the Nick Arcade so bad, that I let him go." Brad explained.

"You better hope he doesn't get into trouble." Jenny warned her best friend.

"Jenny, I've been a big brother longer than you have, I think I know what's best for Tuck." Brad rolled his eyes.

Tucker yelped and hid underneath the table.

"Tucker, what are you doing?" Sam asked.

"Down at the end, there's Jo Elliot!" Tucker panicked.

"Are you sure you want two raw burgers?" The clerk asked Jo. "You could get sick."

"Trust me, I can handle it." Jo promised.

"Okay, it should be here in a few moments." The clerk told Jo as he then went to carry out her order.

"Jo's here?" Danny smiled. "Then that means Mike is here too. Sweet!"

"You're friends with Jo Elliot?!" Tucker asked him like he was crazy.

"Is that a problem?" Danny glared slightly.

"Here we go..." Jenny rolled her eyes slightly as she knew what was gonna come from Tucker.

"He's just one of the toughest, scariest people in Cartoon Network City!" Tucker panicked. "I even heard that he's so bad that Skulker doesn't even want to risk attacking Cartoon Network City!"

"That's pretty funny." Danny laughed.


Jo walked by which made Tucker duck down under the table, but she didn't even notice him and went to sit back down with Twister and Spinelli. "Well, they actually said they would make my burgers." she then told her cousin and her boyfriend.

"I'm surprised it worked out," Spinelli replied. "Last week at school when we had chicken for lunch, Miss Grotke gave me some of hers since she got it by accident and she's a vegetarian."

"You're really close with Miss Grotke, huh?" Jo asked.

"Yeah, I feel like she's my best friend, she really gets me." Spinelli nodded.

"Hey, look, it's Danny, Jenny, Sam, Brad, and Tucker," Twister pointed out. "But why is Tucker hiding underneath their table?"

"Why do you think?" Spinelli rolled her eyes.

"Think about what you just said." Jo told her cousin since Twister wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

"Oh, whoops." Spinelli said to her cousin.

"Jo, over here!" Danny called out.

"Danny, what are you doing?!" Tucker scolded. "I thought that we were friends!"

"Tucker, will you relax?" Danny replied. "Jo is not that bad of a person!"

"Oh, I didn't even see Casper and his friends." Jo said as she turned her head.

"Sam, protect me!" Tucker begged.

"No." Sam deadpanned.

"Jenny?" Tucker asked the teenage robot.

"Tucker, Jo is a nice person," Jenny soothed. "She won't hurt you."

"It's Jo Elliot!" Tucker said like it was a matter of life and death.

Jenny rolled her eyes and pulled Tucker out from under the table to see Jo.

"Uh, hi..." Tucker said to Jo nervously. "Please don't hurt me, I don't wanna spend New Years in the hospital."

Jo then smirked and made her fangs pop out. "Boo."

Tucker screamed like a little girl and jumped into Danny's arms.

"Jo, that wasn't nice," Jenny scolded the jockette. "We were just telling Tucker that you're a nice friend."

"Sorry, Tin Can," Jo laughed. "I couldn't help it, I had to do it!"

Jenny rolled her eyes. "And I thought XJ-8 had issues with her anger and scaring people."

"XJ-8?" Jo asked. "Wait, are you saying that there's more of robots like you?"

"Yeah, from XJ-1 to me," Jenny nodded. "They're my sisters."

"How come I haven't met them?" Jo asked.

"Mom shut them down..." Jenny sadly bit her lip.

"Shut them down...?" Jo asked. "Uh, is that a robot's way of dying?"

Jenny sighed sadly. "You could say that."

"It's okay, Jen." Brad soothed his best girl friend.

"Uh, sorry to hear that, Tin Can." Jo said to the teenage robot.

"It's all right," Jenny replied softly. "I guess it's kind of my fault for activating them without permission."

"Man, I don't know what I would even do if I ever lost Autumn." Jo sympathesized.

"Who's Autumn?" Brad asked.

"My little sister." Jo explained.

"I didn't know you had a little sister." Brad replied.

"She was recently adopted, this was after Revenge of the Island if that's what you mean." Jo told him.

"I don't see what the big fuss is," Sam shrugged. "I like being an only child."

"I'm an only child too," Tucker added. "It feels great!"

"You can have Lars if you want." Twister offered to Jo.

"What about your brothers, Spinelli?" Danny asked.

"I don't remember too much about them, but when I was in Kindergarten, they were supposed to watch me when we went to the pool during the summer and I almost drowned," Spinelli explained. "Don't tell nobody, but sometimes swimming worries me because of that. Vito gave me his boots though once he outgrew them and Joey knows a lot about auto mechanics."

"So, um, Spinelli, is it?" Sam replied. "How do you know Jo anyway?"

"She's my cousin." Spinelli revealed.

"I told you guys that, didn't I?" Twister asked the others as a clerk soon came back with raw burgers for Jo before going back behind his desk since it was busy at the Mall this time of year.


Everyone, minus Danny, Jenny, and Twister looked at the raw meat in disgust.

"That's raw meat!" Brad exclaimed.

"And?" Jo asked before she ate one burger with a shrug.

"I love meat, but that is disgusting." Tucker said to Jo.

"Should I tell them?" Danny asked the jockette.

"I don't care." Jo shrugged.

"Jo isn't exactly a human," Danny told the others who didn't know. "She's actually a werewolf demon."

Tucker was about to say something.

"Yes, it hurts to transform, but you get used to it after a while, no, I'm not going to eat you or kill you, I will hurt you if you bug me or hurt my friends, can we move on already?" Jo said to him since she had heard almost everything from people finding out about her heritage and Mike's werewolf assistance before her demon powers were expanded from Raven's help.

"Actually, I was gonna say that those are the same powers that Shadow Wolf has." Tucker clarified.

"I've heard that one before too." Jo replied.

"So, tell me, are you him in a secret identity?" Tucker asked.

"Him?" Sam raised an eyebrow. "No, Tucker, Shadow Wolf's a girl!"

"Trust me, Sam, who's the genius here?" Tucker replied. "Shadow Wolf's a boy, I know he is."

"What makes you think she's a boy?" Sam asked.

"Hello?" Tucker replied. "He's very muscular and has a man's voice! Danny, back me up."

"Don't put me in the middle." Danny begged.

Jo just rolled her eyes as she kept eating her burgers. "Hmm... This burger needs something..."

"Cooked?" Spinelli teased her cousin.

"Good one." Jo smirked.

"Oh, I got it, chili cheese fries?" Twister suggested.

Jo put down her burger and put some ketchup on it and then ate it. "Ah, that's a lot better, so, um, cous, you going to Courtney Gripling's Holiday Party?" she then asked Spinelli.

"Yeah," Spinelli replied. "Twister invited me over to come along."

"It's going to be a fun party." Twister smiled.

"I just hope there's plenty of food." Jo said.

"Ask the cook," Spinelli suggested. "He'll make anything in his kitchen, especially for Courtney and Blake."

"Hey, I found a quarter." Twister noticed.

Jo and Spinelli just looked at each other, shaking their heads slightly.


Meanwhile, the Wonder Twins and Gleek were checking out a sports store.

"What's this used for?" Zan wondered as he pulled out a hockey stick.

"Mike says that people use that to play hockey." Jayna told him.

"Hockey?" Zan asked. "You mean like what the people in Puck World play?"

"Yeah, basically." Jayna nodded.

Gleek put on roller-blades and tried to skate around the store, but lost control and bumped into surfboards and they all fell on top of him.

"Gleek?!" The Wonder Twins called out to their monkey.

Gleek popped up and chattered, giving the Wonder Twins a thumb's up, meaning he was okay. Zan and Jayna laughed to Gleek as they then helped him out.

"Look, guys," Roger laughed as he came in with his gang. "It's a bunch of losers!"

"Who? What?" Jayna asked. "Are you talking about us?"

"Duh!" Roger scoffed. "You see any other pairs of losers at the Mall?!"

"We're not losers," Zan glared. "The only group of losers we see around here is you guys!"

"What did that punk say?" Roger glared back.

"I think he called us losers, Roger." Francis replied.

"Why don't you leave us alone?" Jayna glared at the bullies. "Don't you have anything better to do like finding a life outside of ours?"

"Say, you're really pretty," Roger smirked to Jayna. "Ya wanna go out with me?"

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend." Jayna refused.

"Come on, I'll make it worth your while~" Roger insisted.

The female Wonder Twin glared at the bully and grabbed him by his jacket and threw him into the water fountain.

"Wah! Cold! COOOL!" Roger shivered and shuddered from the fountain's water.

Jayna then threw the other bullies with him.

"Hey, Chad, look, it's Niagara Fools!" Tad laughed with his best friend while they were with their girlfriends: Miranda Killgahen and Mipsy Mipson.

"Shut up, losers!" Roger glared.

"Wow, Sis, remind me to never-" Zan was about to say until he then saw Wolfgang and Edmund behind her. "Watch out!" He then grabbed the two bullies and threw them into the water as well.

"Wolfgang, that guy just threw us into the water." Edmund pointed out.

"No, really, do you think so?!" Wolfgang deadpanned.

"Thanks, Zan." Jayna smiled to her twin brother.

"What're big brothers for?" Zan smiled to Jayna.


"Wow, Doug, did you see those guys take down Roger and the gang?" Skeeter asked his best friend.

"I don't believe it," Doug said. "I didn't think anyone could take down Roger Klotz."

"Let's go talk to them!" Skeeter said before rushing off.

"Hey, wait for me!" Doug chased after his best friend.

"They weren't so tough." Zan said to Jayna as he dusted his hands and adjusted his glasses.

"I like this helmet," Jayna said to Zan as she held a purple helmet with white and silver lightning streaks. "It really brings out my eyes."

"It suits ya, Sis." Zan agreed until Doug and Skeeter came toward them.

"Uh... Hello...?" Jayna blinked to the two. "Can we help you?"

"I'm Doug Funnie," Doug introduced himself before his dog also appeared. "This is my pet dog, Porkchop, and this is my best friend, Skeeter Valentine."

"It was awesome the way you guys took out Roger Klotz and his gang." Skeeter added.

"Uh, well, thank you." Jayna smiled.

"Who are you guys anyway?" Doug asked.

"I'm Joanna and this is my brother, Zach." Jayna introduced with false names.

Zan just looked at his twin sister in confusion.

"We don't want anybody to know who we are." Jayna whispered to him.

Porkchop yipped and wagged his tail while panting.

"I think Porkchop likes you guys too." Doug chuckled.

"I don't think I've seen you guys in school." Skeeter said to 'Joanna and Zach'.

"Oh, that's because we're not from here," Jayna explained. "We're from Cartoon Network City."

"Well, anyone brave enough to take down Roger is a friend of ours," Skeeter smiled. "That is, if you wanna be friends."

"Sure," Zan smiled back. "We love making new friends."

Gleek looked curious at Porkchop who just waved to the blue monkey.

"Looks like your monkey likes Porkchop." Skeeter smiled.

"So, are you guys going to Courtney's party?" Jayna asked the boys.

"We might," Doug shrugged. "We don't know for sure."

"We heard that anyone's invited as long as they're friends." Zan shrugged back.

"Did you guys come here by yourselves?" Skeeter asked.

"No, our friend invited us," Jayna replied. "Mike Mazinsky."

"Mike Mazinsky, huh?" Doug asked.

"Surely you've heard of her, she is quite popular." Zan told him.

"Of course I've heard of her," Doug nodded. "She even helped me get together with Julie De Longpre."

"Julie De Longpre?" Jayna paused to think of who that was.

"Isn't she that girl with the big head?" Zan asked.

"Bro!" Jayna scolded slightly.

"Sorry." Zan winced slightly.

"Yeah, that's her," Doug nodded. "She's really amazing."

"Can we talk this over through lunch?" Skeeter asked. "I'm hungry."

"Do you want to join us?" Doug invited.

The Wonder Twins nodded and followed the two boys to grab something to eat.
