Zan looked over at a Latina girl with long black hair, with a pink barrette inside of her hair, dropping her shopping bags as he was with Jayna, Gleek, Porkchop, Doug, and Skeeter. "Here, let me help you." he then said to the girl.

"Oh, uh, you don't have to." The girl replied.

"I want to." Zan insisted.

The girl smiled and the male Wonder Twin helped her with the bags.

"Gee, thanks, I dont' think I've seen you around town." The girl said.

"No problem," Zan replied. "I'm from Cartoon Network City."

"Cartoon Network City, huh?" The girl asked. "What's your name?"

"Zach." Zan replied.

"My name is Paulina Sanchez." The girl revealed.

"Nice to meet you, Paulina." Zan replied.

"You seem so strong." The girl gushed as she reached to feel his muscles.

"I've been working out and trying to stay in shape," Zan replied. "Wow."

"Is something the matter?" Paulina asked.

"You're really beautiful and pretty." Zan told her.

"Oh, thank you," Paulina blushed. "You're so sweet and charming~"

"Do you need any help with those bags?" Zan offered.

"Oh, no, thank you, my best friend Star can help me out with them, but thank you for the offer though, Zach." Paulina replied.

"Oh, um, okay." Zan replied.

"STAR!" Paulina called out for her best friend.

A blonde-haired girl with an orange flower in her hair soon appeared. "Yes, Paulina?"

"Wanna help me carry these bags?" Paulina asked.

"Sure, Paulina," Star replied. "Hey, who's this handsome young man?"

"This is Zach," Paulina introduced. "Zach, this is my best friend: Star Satellite."

"Hi, Zach." Star waved to the male Wonder Twin.

"Hello," Zan replied. "So, um, are you guys going to Courtney's party?"

"Uh-huh," Paulina nodded. "I hope that you will be there."

"You know I will." Zan nodded back.

"That sounds great!" Star beamed.

"See you there~" Paulina smiled to Zan before giving him a flirty wink.

Zan nodded and went back to his twin sister, Doug, and Skeeter.

"He sounds like a great guy." Star said to Paulina.

"Star, I feel something in my heart," Paulina told her best friend. "I think that I like him more than anything."

"You think so, Paulina?" Star asked. "What about Dash or Kwan?"

"Those guys..." Paulina scoffed at the mention. "I think all they care about is beating up low-class people or football, but this guy actually cares about other people and helping them out."

"That is what your mother always wanted for you," Star nodded. "Someone to love you for who you are on the inside."

Paulina pulls out a locket which had a picture of someone who looked a lot like an older version of herself. "Mama, I miss you so much," she whispered sadly. "I wish that you were here to help me."

"Oh, Paulina, it's okay," Star soothed her best friend. "I know she would want you to be happy and follow your heart."

"I guess you're right, Star." Paulina said.

"You got me... Your dad... Your little step-sister..." Star reminded.

"Nobody else knows about that besides you," Paulina told her about her step-mother and step-sister. "Dash and Kwan won't care."

"Zach would," Star suggested. "I know he will."

"You really think so, Star?" Paulina asked.

"I'm sure of it." Star soothed.

"Thanks, Star," Paulina said. "I really appreciate that."

"What are friends for?" Star replied.

Paulina smiled and continued to go shopping with her best friend, but deep down inside, there's a hidden power that Paulina does not know about, but will soon. But that, my friends, is another story for another time.

Later on, Mike took the others to the Nick Hotel.

"So, did you guys get some shopping done?" Mike asked the others as she wrapped up a Christmas present for Lil.

"Yeah, I got a little something for my new friends, Doug, and Skeeter, and even Paulina." Zan smiled.

"PAULINA?!" Eddy asked after he did a spit take from his pop.

Double D glared slightly since Eddy had soaked him in soda.

"Paulina?" Eddy asked Zan. "As in Paulina Sanchez?"

"Um, yeah, why?" Zan asked back. "Is there something wrong?"

"Hello?! She's like the shallowest girl in Nicktropolis!" Eddy told him. "I mean, she could compete against Heather of who could be the shallowest girl in the whole city!"

"Well, she was pretty nice to me." Zan defended.

"Yeah, for now," Eddy glared. "She's gonna just use you and toss you away like yesterday's garbage."

"You really think so?" Zan asked.

"I know so, pal," Eddy advised. "She's just another Heather, and she's not even worth your time."

Zan thought about it, he saw her eyes were in sadness, meaning something was wrong with her. "You're wrong." he then told the young scamming fire-bender.

"Oh, yeah, and how long have you known Paulina?" Eddy huffed. "About 3.5 seconds?"

"Eddy..." Mike scolded.

"Come on, Mike, it's Paulina Sanchez, back me up." Eddy told her.

"I hate to admit it, but the twerp is right." Jo actually agreed with Eddy.

"Wait, did you just say that I was right?!" Eddy asked the jockette.

"Don't get used to it." Jo said to Eddy.

"You guys are wrong," Zan frowned. "Paulina's my friend."

"But from the way I hear it, she sounds like Heather 2.0." Cindy even added.

"See?" Eddy replied. "Even Cindy agrees with me!"

Zan frowned to the others.

"Sorry, Zan, but we know Paulina, you just met her..." Cindy defended. "You should be more careful."

"Can't you guys just be happy for me for once that I actually like someone and you shouldn't judge someone just because she's different?!" Zan glared slightly before walking out and slamming the door on the way out. "I'm going for a walk."

The others winced slightly from the door slamming.

"Maybe we were a little harsh...?" Cindy spoke up nervously.

"That guy needs to open up his eyes and realize she's not who he thinks she is." Eddy told the others.

"Oh, come on, Eddy, how come you didn't judge Junior when he first dated Angelica?" Mike replied. "She's mean too!"

"Uh, well... I..." Eddy stammered slightly.

"You guys remember when we all met Dakota, right?" Mike asked the others.

"Yeah..." Cindy said. "I thought she was gonna be like Regina George from Mean Girls, I was surprised how nice and friendly she really is, even if she turns into a mutant from time-to-time."

"And I remember when we all first met you, Justin," Double D added. "We thought that you were just gonna be a narcissistic guy who only cared about his looks and nothing else until we found out the truth about you."

"You guys should've given a Paulina a chance," Mike told the others. "If Zan can be friends with her, then maybe we can too."

Cindy blinked before glaring at Eddy. "Yeah, Eddy, give Paulina a chance!"

"You're the one who called her Heather 2.0!" Eddy pointed out.

"Well, I... You're the one who made me agree with you!" Cindy replied.

As Cindy and Eddy were arguing, Jayna was looking out the window, worrying about her twin brother.

"I may not know about the holidays like you guys do, but I know that this can't be what they're all about." Jayna said to the others as she looked sad for her twin brother.

"Hmm?" Double D asked.

"What do you mean?" Cindy added.

"You broke my brother's heart." Jayna frowned.

"We didn't mean to, we do care about him, but we just don't want him to get hurt." Eddy explained.

"Well, you certainly helped in that department." Jayna rolled her violet eyes.

"We didn't want him to get hurt," Double D told Jayna. "Oh, I feel so awful."

Jayna then opened the window and put her feet out.

"Where are you going?" Mike asked her.

"To find my brother and make sure that he is okay." Jayna told her.

"Jayna, wait, it might be-" Mike tried to stop her.

"Mike, I have to do this," Jayna told her. "Zan is my brother, let me worry about him."

"It could be dangerous," June told her. "I mean, someone like Skulker, Vexus, or Sartana of the Dead could be out there!"

"I can handle it, besides, I still have the collar that Dexter gave me to let me activate my new powers in case Zan isn't there, now, I'll be back." Jayna told them before she jumped out the window and jumped from roof-to-roof.

"I feel so rotten right now," Cindy hung her head. "I shouldn'tve judged Zan befriending Paulina like that... I stink."

"Aw, Cindy, don't be so hard on yourself." Mike comforted her.

"Way to go, Eddy." June scoffed.

"Why is everyone ganging up on me?!" Eddy replied. "I'm just stating the truth! Even Justin can back me up!...Justin?" he then looked around for the eye candy teen only to see that he was gone. "Uh, Justin?"

"He just got up and left." Jo told the others as she sat with Justine.

"Maybe he went to help Zan out." Justine suggested.

"Maybe Justin is Batman." Dee Dee said.

"You may be right, Dee Dee." Ed agreed.

Everyone then groaned and face-palmed to that.
