Cindy was talking on the phone with her mom until she saw Justin coming in. "Let me call you back, Mom," she said before hanging up. "What's up, Justin?"
"Can I borrow your laptop?" Justin asked.
"Sure, but what for?" Cindy replied.
"It's important sibling business." Justin replied.
Cindy then put her password into her laptop and handed it to Justin. "Be careful with it."
"Thanks, kid, I will." Justin said before walking away.
"I wonder why he needs it?" Cindy shrugged to herself before she pulled her phone back out and then talked with her mom again.
"Cindy, I hope you realize, this will be your very first Christmas without Mommy and Daddy." Shelly told Cindy.
"I know, Mom, but don't worry; I got you and Daddy something for Christmas." Cindy replied.
"Oh, you did?" Shelly asked. "Oh, you're so sweet... And here I thought that Penn would be a horrible influence on you."
"Hey!" Penn's voice called out.
Cindy just giggled and continued to talk with her mother.
"I gotta learn these fighting techniques," Justin said as he sat up on the roof while looking through Cindy's laptop to do research with the comic books beside him. "I want to protect those who I love."
"That's very sweet of you." Jayna said as she was suddenly right behind him.
"Gah! Oh, hey, Jayna, you scared me." Justin smiled nervously to the female Wonder Twin he had strong feelings for.
"Justice League comic books, huh?" Jayna asked as she took a look.
"Yeah, I want to learn their fighting skills." Justin nodded.
"Interesting..." Jayna said. "Mind if I sit with you?"
"Sure, go ahead." Justin allowed.
Jayna sat down next to him, looking at the comic books and Justin was looking through the laptop to find out information about fighting techniques. "Well, if you need any help on fighting techniques, you could come to me," She then offered and suggested. "I would help you."
"Really?" Justin smiled. "Gee, thanks, Jayna."
"Well, we did get trained by the Super Friends after all," Jayna reminded. "Come with me."
"Where are we going?" Jayna asked.
"Going to the forest so that we can get started." Jayna told him.
Justin then stood up and followed after Jayna, taking the laptop and comic books with him.
The two teens arrived at the forest and Justin put down the laptop and comic books.
"Okay, Jayna, what do we do first?" Justin asked the female Wonder Twin.
"First thing's first is about how well you can fight because sometimes, in the future, you powers may not work and have to rely on your fists." Jayna educated.
"I hear about that a lot." Justin nodded to Jayna.
"Let's just see what you got." Jayna told him.
"But I don't want to hurt you." Justin said.
"Don't worry, you won't." Jayna promised.
"Well, all right, if you say so." Justin shrugged as he then got into a fighting stance.
Jayna smirked as she then did the same thing back for him to practice with. The two teens then practiced fighting with each other. After a few minutes, Justin was on the ground.
"You okay?" Jayna asked Justin as she held out her hand to help him back up to his feet.
"Yeah, I guess I got a lot to learn." Justin shrugged.
"Happens to the best of us." Jayna coaxed as she helped him up.
"Shall we try it again?" Justin asked.
"Yes, but this time, in your superhero costume." Jayna said.
"All right..." Justin nodded before he spread his arms out.
A bright red and blackened glow overcast Justin and he was now in his Volcano Twin outfit. Jayna nodded and she raised her arms and a purple glow changed her into her Wonder Twin outfit. Justin whistled to that.
"Don't get too excited, Lava Boy." Jayna smirked teasingly.
"Wasn't planning to, Animal Girl." Justin replied.
"Then what are you staring at?" Jayna smirked.
"Who's staring?" Justin rolled his eyes innocently. "Let's get this show on the road before we freeze."
"Ready?" Jayna asked.
Justin nodded as they were fighting again, but unknown to them, in a cave, a monster with blue eyes growled at the intruders.
"You're getting there, Justin, I'm really proud of ya though." Jayna smiled as she fought with Justin for superhero training.
"Thanks, I really need to keep my fighting skills and stay in shape since Jo is helping Justine with her training." Justin said.
"Well, it's my honor to help you." Jayna nodded.
There was then growling heard.
"Well, you don't have to growl at me." Jayna told Justin.
"That wasn't me." Justin told her.
The growling noise was then heard again.
"Okay, Eddy, I know it's you," Jayna groaned. "Come on out, this is not funny."
"I doubt that's Eddy." Justin said to Jayna.
"But you know how he is," Jayna reminded. "Nice try, Eddy, but we're not falling for it."
"No, it can't be, he and the others went back to the hotel." Justin told Jayna.
"Then maybe it's those two boys... What're their names again?" Jayna suggested. "Oh, yeah, Dil and Dib."
"Jayna, I don't think this is a prank." Justin said as the growling thing soon came out with its beady icy blue eyes toward the two superhero teens.
In front of them was a huge creature with white fur who roared really loud.
"What is that thing?!" Justin's eyes widened.
"I don't know, it's some sort of snow creature thing." Jayna said.
"The Abominable Snowman?" Justin wondered.
The snow creature roared and slammed his arms into the snow. The two teens dodged the attacks.
"He's strong." Jayna said.
The snow creature lifted a tree and tried to swing at the teens.
"Justin, watch out!" Jayna cried out.
Justin grabbed the tree and then used his powers to melt the tree. The snow creature roared and began to chase Justin. Justin soon ran from the creature before running up a building and then jumped in the air and landed on the creature's back. The snow creature roared and was trying to get him off its back.
"Now this is what I call a rodeo." Justin laughed.
The snow creature roared and bucked him off, making him fall into a trash can.
Justin groaned before glaring as the snow creature laughed at him. "Okay, now I'm mad..." he then warned.
"Justin, are you okay?" Jayna frowned.
"Oh, I'm okay..." Justin softly said to her before glaring at the monster. "NOW HE'S JUST GOTTEN ME PISSED OFF!"
Jayna cupped her mouth. Justin's eyes looked red as molten lava and he stomped towards the snow creature.
"I just love it when he gets mad," Jayna smiled until she realized what she said and face-palmed herself. "Did I just say that?"
Justin soon used all the strength he had and managed to tackle down the snow creature. "All right, buddy, I don't know who or what you are, but right now, you can consider yourself on the public enemy list of Justin Reid." He then sneered to the monster.
The snow creature didn't say anything, but just roared in his face.
"Listen, I don't wanna hurt you, but if it has to be that way, so be it..." Justin scolded the snow creature.
"Justin, just be careful; I don't want you to get hurt." Jayna hoped.
"It'll be all right, Jayna..." Justin said before nerve pinching the snow creature.
The snow creature had wide eyes and roared so loud that it nearly shook the town.
"Now, listen, you're not gonna cause any trouble in Nicktropolis anymore, do you understand me?" Justin glared as he still held onto the nerve until the monster would listen to reason. "I don't wanna have to see you again, and I won't let you ruin Christmas for everybody."
The snow creature soon nodded and whimpered in fear.
"Good... Now, get out of here." Justin said, getting off of the snow creature.
The snow creature soon backed up and began to run off.
"Wow, Justin, that was amazing," Jayna gushed. "You can be a real tiger when you wanna be."
"Oh, uh, heh, no problem, Jayna," Justin blushed a little. "I just didn't want anything to happen."
Jayna looked down at his shirt and saw that there were claw marks. "Oh, you're hurt." She then pouted.
"Oh, it's okay, really." Justin told her softly.
"No, it's not, now sit down and let me take a look at that." Jayna said.
"It's fine..." Justin nervously told her.
"Come on now..." Jayna said before checking him out. "It shouldn't be too serious, you are pretty strong after all."
"Well, you're the boss." Justin shrugged.
"Take off your jacket and your shirt so I can get a better look." Jayna instructed.
Justin was nervous about that, but he soon did as she said.
"It doesn't look too bad, but I still need to bandage it." Jayna advised.
"You don't need to do that." Justin said.
"Nonsense, now come along..." Jayna said as she helped him.
"Oh... You're hurt too." Justin frowned as he noticed a claw mark on her arm.
"It's fine, it's just you I'm worried about." Jayna told him.
Justin frowned.
"Here we go..." Jayna said as she bandaged him from his wounds. "Good as new."
"Thank you," Justin said. "Now it's your turn."
"Oh, I'm fine, don't worry about it." Jayna reassured.
"Jayna, you're hurt, and I should help you like you helped me." Justin told her.
"Oh, Justin..." Jayna said softly and bashfully.
The two took care of each other.
Meanwhile, Lil took Mike to see something and they came to a house which looked abandoned.
"So, uh, who lives here?" Mike asked.
"Rocko," Lil replied. "Well, he used to live here, but he's gone now."
"Oh, no, did he die or something?" Mike asked.
"Oh, no, Rocko's not dead, at least, I hope not," Lil replied. "Rocko was sent to outer space a long time ago by accident, and he hasn't been back ever since."
"I hope that he's okay." Mike hoped.
"Me too, he's a really nice guy." Lil nodded.
Mike and Lil then walked by, passing the house.
"So, looking forward to Courtney's party?" Lil asked.
"Oh, totally," Mike smiled. "I bet it'll be a cool party like Eddie's parties that people go to all the time."
"Eddy has parties like that?" Lil asked, confused a little.
"Oh, sorry, I meant a different Eddie," Mike explained. "Edward Phillip James Lawrence III, he's a rich kid."
"Ohh," Lil then said, now understanding. "You know what I'm glad of?"
"What's that?" Mike asked.
"I get to spend Nickmas with you." Lil smiled.
"Oh, uh, thanks, Lil," Mike smiled back. "I'm glad I get to do that too, even if this is just my first Nickmas."
"Come on, Mom and Dad would love to see you again." Lil invited.
"Hey, wait for me!" Mike chuckled as Lil ran off and she soon chased her.
The two soon went along to the DeVille household together, though being careful so not to slip and fall due to the snow and ice. Lil almost slipped and fell, but luckily, Mike grabbed her arm.
"Careful there." The Cartoon Cartoon tomboy warned.
"Yaugh!" Lil yelped, but smiled to Mike. "Thanks, Mike, I guess I missed that patch of ice."
"Well, you know, that's the thing about winter." Mike warned.
"Yeah, and I hate it already." Lil pouted.
Mike then gestured for her to get onto her back. "Hop on."
"Are you sure?" Lil asked.
"I wouldn't offer if I wasn't sure." Mike told her.
Lil then came onto Mike's back after Mike knelt down for her. "You don't have to do this." She said as she got comfortable.
"I wanted to." Mike replied.
"Oh, hey, um, could you talk to this girl Shelia Preston for me?" Lil asked.
"Who's she?" Mike asked.
"She's this mean and tough girl in the Girl's Room with Amber Browne, Tammy Jamison, and Debbie Morrison," Lil explained. "She's always angry and agitated, I think she might be a werecreature, but I'm not sure. She seems to hate everybody, kinda reminds me of Eva."
"Sure, I'd be happy to, if I can handle Jo and Buttercup, then I can handle her." Mike said.
"Thanks, Mike, you're the best." Lil replied.
They then walked off together to the DeVille house.
"Is that a snowman that looks like Rosie O'Donnell?" Mike asked.
"Doesn't surprise me..." Lil smirked as they walked along together to her house and soon came through the door with Mike. "Mom! Dad! I'm home and I brought Mike with me!"
"Ah, hey, Lilly," Betty smirked to her daughter. "Welcome home."
"Wow, you guys did a lot of decorating while we were gone." Lil said as she looked around.
"Well, ya know how your father loves design." Betty chuckled.
"Hey, Lil, hi, Mike." Howard smiled.
"Hey, Howard, hey, Betty." Mike greeted her girlfriend's parents.
"I made Christmas cookies if you guys want any." Howard offered.
"Christmas cookies, huh?" Mike smiled. "Sounds great."
"I made them for the kids and their guests." Howard smiled back.
"Thanks, Dad." Lil smiled.
Mike and Lil shared two cookies together and of course they loved them.
"Seeing all this holiday cheer just reminds me a lot of when I was a kid in New York." Mike smiled as she looked out the window as almost everybody looked happy.
"And I got one Christmas present early." Lil said.
"Oh, yeah, and what's that?" Mike replied.
"You, silly." Lil said like it was obvious.
"You always this sweet or am I just lucky?" Mike smirked.
"I think it's both." Lil smirked back.
"Uh, Lil?" Mike asked.
"What?" Lil replied.
Mike smirked and pointed to the mistletoe hanging above them.
"Oh... Heh... Who put that there?" Lil smiled innocently.
Mike and Lil then shared a kiss under the mistletoe and suddenly, there was a flash of bright light.
"Augh! What the?!" Mike groaned from the light.
"That's a keeper." Howard smiled as he took a picture with his camera.
"Augh, Dad!" Lil complained. "Did you have to do that?"
"Well, why not?" Howard smiled. "You know how much I love scrap-booking."
Mike and Lil just looked at each other, and were blushing from embarrassment.
"What time's Courtney's party?" Betty asked.
"7:00," Lil said. "Her parents are pretty excited about it, and Blake even promised to behave himself, though I think he's better than Ginger's brother half the time."
"I hope you two have a great time." Betty smiled.
"Thanks, Mom." Lil replied.
"That Courtney's a lovely girl, Lois tells me a lot of stories about when Courtney came over and her mother had surgery." Betty smiled.
"Phil seems to love Courtney a lot, just like I do with Mike." Lil commented.
Mike and Lil hung out on the couch until it would be time to go to Courtney's party.
