Meanwhile, Zan was walking down the street, thinking about what his friends were saying about his new friend. "Why would they think that about Paulina?" he then sulked. "She's a nice girl." The male Wonder Twin then saw the Latina girl sitting at the park bench, smiling as the snow was falling. Zan smiled to that and decided to maybe join her.

"The snow is so beautiful." Paulina sighed happily.

"Hello, Paulina," Zan greeted. "Mind if I join you?"

"Hello, Zach," Paulina replied. "Sure, you can join me."

"Thanks." Zan smiled as he sat down with her.

"I just love winter... It's so beautiful." Paulina sighed.

"You like winter?" Zan asked.

"Oh, yes," Paulina nodded. "Ever since my mama loved the snow in the old times... She said that it was basically angels were crying of joy and happiness."

"Wow, that's actually pretty beautiful," Zan smiled. "I guess Christmas is a great day for you two."

"I guess it is." Paulina smiled back, sadly.

"What's wrong?" Zan asked as he sensed her sadness.

"My mama won't be spending Christmas with me anymore." Paulina revealed.

"Why not?" Zan frowned as that sounded rather depressing.

"My mama died when I was a little girl," Paulina replied. "She was very ill."

"Oh... I'm so sorry for your loss..." Zan replied softly.

"It was the saddest moment of my life..." Paulina sighed. "My new step-mother is nice and all, but she's nothing like my own mother."

"I understand how you feel." Zan soothed.

"How's that?" Paulina asked.

"I'm an orphan," Zan admitted. "Mine and my sister Joanna's parents died when we were only babies."

"Oh, my..." Paulina frowned. "Do you know anything about them?"

"They were just loving parents who cared about us," Zan replied. "Many of our family members died from a sickness which spread back on our home pla-hometown."

"Poor thing," Paulina cooed. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's okay..." Zan replied. "I still have my sister."

"I suppose so..." Paulina nodded. "It's sad when some people are alone over the holidays."

"I guess so." Zan replied.

Paulina scooted over closer to the male Wonder Twin and hugged him. "Oh, sorry!"

"Oh, it's okay, no problem with hugging among friends." Zan blushed slightly with a soft smile to the Latina girl.

"You're nice and warm," Paulina smiled back. "Just like Mama's hugs."

"Oh, uh, I wouldn't say that." Zan smiled nervously.

"I would," Paulina smiled. "You have to be the best guy friend I've ever had."

"Friends?" Zan smiled back, feeling touched.

"Yes, you are a good friend to me... Unlike Dash Baxter, Kwan Satori, and even Don Prima," Paulina replied. "You understand how I feel and feel my pain."

Zan smiled to her. "You seem nice for a popular girl."

"Oh, popularity isn't everything..." Paulina sighed. "It can't always make you happy. Though, sometimes, I wish I could be more like my childhood favorite cartoon: Sayonara Pussycat."

"Do you mean Sassy Cat?" Zan asked.

"Oh, no, no, no, Sayonara Pussycat," Paulina corrected. "I've loved her ever since my first Christmas and my mother gave me a doll of her handed down from my Abuela. I still have her and sleep with her, though I hope someday in the future, I can give her to my future daughter. I talk to her a lot when I feel sad, but of course, that was before I met you."

"I'm glad that I met you, Paulina," Zan said. "You're a very beautiful girl who deserves to be happy."

"Oh, thank you~" Paulina gushed. "You're so sweet. How'd I get so lucky to meet a sweet boy like you?~"

"How did I get to meet a sweet girl like yourself?" Zan replied.

This made Paulina blush. Zan smiled to her, he couldn't believe what the others said about her. Paulina smiled back at him and got closer to the male Wonder Twin and kissed him on the cheek. Zan blinked, but he blushed from the kiss.

"Oh, um, sorry, Zach..." Paulina said nervously as she then blushed herself.

"No, it's fine," Zan promised. "I wasn't prepared for that, but it was nice."

"Paulina, there you are!" Dash said as he soon came to the two. "What are you doing here with that loser?"

"Who's that?" Zan asked Paulina.

"Dash Baxter," Paulina glared. "My ex-boyfriend."

"Oh, so this is Dash." Zan commented.

"Yeah, what of it, Dorko?" Dash scoffed. "Come on, Paulina, we're gonna throw snowballs at total geeks."

"No, Dash, I wanna stay here with Zach." Paulina refused.

"But you're my girl, remember?" Dash glared slightly.

"Dash, for the millionth time, we're done!" Paulina glared back. "I already told you that, now get it through your thick skull!"

"What?!" Dash glared.

"WE'RE DONE!" Paulina glared back. "Go find some other brainless zombie like Miranda or Mipsy to be your girl!"

"You can't do that!" Dash sneered. "I own you!"

"WHAT?!" Paulina and Zan replied in unison. "I/She's not your toy to play with!"

"Well, I never!" Dash glared.

"GET LOST!" Zan glared back as he threw Dash out of the way.

"Wow..." Paulina's aqua eyes widened in shock.

"That's it... Nobody does that to Dash Baxter and gets away with it!" Dash glared before tackling the male Wonder Twin and both of them rolled around in the snow.

"Be careful, Zach!" Paulina gasped.

Zan and Dash went up against each other while all Paulina could do was sit and watch.

Cindy was wandering around the snowy grounds of Nicktropolis, she saw a stick-like Christmas tree and soon put an ornament on it which made it snap and break due to the weight which made her wince. "I... Killed it..." she then muttered in a Charlie Brown fashion before her stomach growled. "Man, I'm hungry... Where's the best place to go in a town like this?" She then looked around and found somewhere to eat before going inside of it. "Ah, what the heck? I'll just go to Nasty Burger."

"She's mine!" Dash glared. "Not yours!"

"She's not a toy for you to use!" Zan retorted until his wig, unknowingly to him, fell off.

Dash and Paulina then gasped to that.

"Zach, are you wearing a wig?!" Paulina asked.

"Uh... I... I... I..." Zan stammered.

"Hey, he looks like that guy Wonder Twin." Dash pointed out.

Zan shoved Dash, kicked him in the snow, and ran off.

"Zach, wait!" Paulina cried out and chased after him.

"What did I do?" Dash groaned as he was having the worst day ever so far.

Zan went to the alley and sit down to took a breather, and then put his hood up.

"Zach?" Paulina's voice asked.

"Go away..." Zan muttered in misery.

"Zach, what's going on?" Paulina asked him. "Why are you wearing a wig? Is there something you're not telling me?"

"I didn't want you to know who I was." Zan told her.

"Why not?" Paulina asked. "What are you, some sort of superhero?"

"You might say that." Zan replied.

"I won't say anything if you just come out for me," Paulina pleaded. "Please?"

"I dunno..." Zan replied.

"Please..." Paulina gave a puppy dog pout. "For me...?"

"All right, but don't tell anybody." Zan told her.

"I won't, I promise." Paulina replied.

Zan came out of the alley. He took off his glasses and his hood was down also his wig was in his hand. Paulina looked up and down at him.

"I'm Zan, from the Planet Exxor." Zan told Paulina.

"I know you, you're one of the Wonder Twins," Paulina replied. "I heard about you, but why did you have a disguise?"

"I didn't want anybody to know who I was." Zan told her.

"Secret identity, huh?" Paulina asked.

Zan sadly nodded to the girl. "I hope you won't think any less of me, I'm sorry that I tricked you, but I didn't want to risk it."

"It's okay... I'm not mad, I'm just upset that you didn't tell me, but I understand now," Paulina replied. "Besides, I like the way you took down Dash, it was very brave of you."

"Hey, I couldn't let him hurt you," Zan replied. "We're friends, and he's just a doofus."

"So, uh, does that mean that Joanna is actually Jayna?" Paulina asked before smiling.

Zan nodded to confirm that.

"Wow..." Paulina said. "I wish I could be a superhero."

Dash was now on the roof and was pushing a boulder to squish Zan with to make him pay for 'stealing Paulina from him'. "See ya later, loser!"

Zan had a strange sense.

"You okay?" Paulina asked.

"Just got a cold chill." Zan told her.

Paulina looked up before seeing a boulder and screamed. The male Wonder Twin scoop up the Latina girl in his arms and jumped into the roof as the boulder hit the ground

"Aw, come on!" Dash complained.

Zan and Paulina looked up to see him.

"Oops." Dash said nervously before going to run off.

Zan put on the collar that Dexter gave him that lets him active his powers in case Jayna wasn't there. His eyes glowed, then his hands glowed blue, and shot ice that froze Dash's legs.

"What the?!" Dash asked.

"You could've left us alone, but you had to make me lose my cool." Zan glared with a slight pun.

"Who are you?" Dash asked.

"Name's Zan, I'm one of the Wonder Twins," Zan replied. "I have powers over ice and water."

"Wonder Twins...?" Dash asked.

"Yeah, didn't ya hear me before?" Zan replied.

"What a man~..." Paulina sighed dreamily.

"Are you going to kill me?!" Dash asked nervously.

"Nope, just leaving you to suffer, but I will do this." Zan replied as he held out his hands for Dash.

Dash was hanging up in the flag pole by his jacket.

"This ain't right, man, it just ain't right!" Dash complained.

Zan smirked and was then taken by surprise by Paulina who hugged him and suddenly kissed him on the lips.

"My hero." Paulina beamed.

"Uh, thanks, Paulina." Zan blushed and took off his collar.

"You're quite a charming boy..." Paulina smiled. "I've never met anyone like you before."

"And I never met an awesome girl like you." Zan smiled back.

Paulina blushed and Zan seemed to blush back to her. "Wanna go to the Nasty Burger with me?" she then invited.

"Sure." Zan replied as he put his wig and glasses back on.

"Come on, it's a lot better than it sounds, and it's better than the Krusty Krab, especially since Mr. Krabs isn't there anymore." Paulina told Zan.

Zan smiled as he walked along with Paulina.

At the Nasty Burger...

"Are you okay, Miss?" A pimple faced teen asked Cindy as she had several food around her.

"Oh, yeah, uh, I'm fine, sir," Cindy replied since she had over a dozen bacon cheeseburgers. "I'm just missing someone back home."

"Ah, your boyfriend, I presume?" The teen asked.

"Uh, well, probably..." Cindy told him. "Can I get some more cheese fries with shredded cheese?"

The teen then walked off to get her more food.

Cindy sighed as she ate another burger as it was the holidays and being away from home made her a little sad. "I wish that Maxwell were here," She then said. "That would make me really happy."

"So you have wished it, so it shall be." A voice replie to her.

Cindy looked over and saw Maxwell appear from the green smoke.

"Huh? Wait, what happened?" Maxwell looked around in confusion. "Cindy, how did I get here?"

"Maxie!" Cindy beamed and hugged him. "Oh, Maxwell, I missed you so much... Merry Christmas!"

"Cindy, what's going on here?" Maxwell asked her.

"I missed you so much." Cindy cooed to him.

"How did I get here?" Maxwell asked.

"Who cares?" Cindy replied. "I'm just glad that you're here."

"Where are we?" Maxwell asked.

"This is Nasty Burger," Cindy told him. "You want some bacon cheeseburgers?"

"Sure, I'll buy for you." Maxwell accepted.

Cindy smiled to her boyfriend.

Zan and Paulina soon came over.

"Paulina Sanchez!" Cindy gasped.

"Paulina Sanchez, the Heather 2.0?!" Maxwell added. "Why is she with Zan?!"

Cindy cupped her mouth. Zan and Paulina laughed together as they soon placed their order. Zan looked all around and soon saw Cindy before glaring to her slightly.

"Um, could we take our food to-go, please?" Cindy asked.

"What's wrong, Cindy?" Maxwell asked her.

"I'll tell you on the way back to the hotel." Cindy stated.

"Should've known..." Zan sighed as he overheard Cindy.

"Is something wrong, Zan?" Paulina asked.

Zan sighed to her. "It's just that my friends don't trust you..." he then told her honestly. "They think that you're gonna be like Heather on Total Drama Island."

"They hate me, don't they?" Paulina sulked.

"Oh, Paulina, no, they don't hate you..." Zan frowned. "They just... They don't..."

"Maybe this was a mistake." Paulina hung her head.

"Paulina, they just don't see the real you," Zan encouraged. "They just think that you're a queen bee, but we can prove them wrong."

"Let's do it." Paulina agreed.

"As long as you're sure." Zan replied.

"I've never been more sure about anything in my whole life." Paulina smiled sincerely to him.

"Let's go back to the hotel and meet them," Zan replied. "Uh, if you want to, that is."

"Sure." Paulina accepted.

Cindy and Maxwell looked at them.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Zan asked.

"Zan, I am so sorry for our behavior, that was totally uncalled for." Cindy trembled.

"Oh, really?" Zan huffed. "That's not what you thought before."

"I don't know about the others, but I'm really sorry," Cindy told him. "And I'm happy for you."

"Are you really or are you just scared?" Zan asked.

"I'm really sorry," Cindy told him. "I tend to follow the crowd without thinking about it sometimes."

"Did you really have to follow what Eddy said?" Zan asked.

"Eddy didn't mean it," Cindy said. "He doesn't know about the real Paulina, he just didn't want you to get hurt like what happened between him and Nazz."

"Oh, yeah, I remember about that..." Zan sighed. "Nazz was a pretty decent girl until she began hanging out with Amy, Tori, and Danielle."'

"You're telling me." Cindy agreed.

"But she's good now." Maxwell added.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier," Cindy told Zan. "That was really uncalled for."

"Cindy, you said something mean?" Maxwell asked.

"Peer pressure, Maxie, I wish you were there." Cindy sighed.

"I guess I can forgive you," Zan told her. "Only if you'll accept Paulina."

"Yes, I hope that you can understand that it'll take me a while to get used to it." Cindy replied.

"Of course, sweetie," Paulina smiled. "Oh, you look so adorable~"

"Aw, come on, I'm not adorable," Cindy blushed. "I wear glasses..."

Paulina picked up Cindy and hugged her tight.

Maxwell soon got the burgers and sat down. "Come on, Cindy, I got the food."

Cindy soon hoisted herself out of Paulina's hold and sat across from Maxwell.

"And who is this?" Paulina asked. "You have your own boyfriend? That's so cute!"

"This is Maxwell Hartman." Cindy introduce.

"Uh, hello." Maxwell waved.

"Hi there." Paulina smiled and waved to him.

Maxwell blinked a moment and looked down before looking back up and smiling to the Latina girl before joking. "Uh, I know this is a lame joke, but do you know Dora the Explorer?" he then asked innocently.

"Yes, I do," Paulina admitted. "She and Diego are my younger cousins."

This caused for Cindy to do a spit take from her pop.

"Hey!" Maxwell pouted.

"Sorry..." Cindy smiled nervously.

"I mostly see them during family reunions." Paulina told Cindy and Maxwell.
