When the time came, they told Betty and Howard goodbye and went to the party along with everyone else who was invited.

"Christmas was always my mother's favorite holiday..." Chuckie said softly as he stared into the snow.

"Don't worry, Chuckie, we're here for you if you need anything." Tommy soothed.

"Thanks, guys." Chuckie replied.

They soon continued to walk to the party as it was time.

Winston smiled and greeted people at the door when they came to join the party.

"Hey, guys, welcome to the party, glad that you could make it." Courtney smiled.

"Thank you for inviting us." Mike replied.

"Come inside, everyone's almost here." Courtney smiled as she wore a coat over her dress.

"Mind if I see your outfit?" Mike asked.

"Not at all." Courtney smiled as she opened up her coat to show a red dress with a black belt and golden buckle with white fringe like Santa Claus's coat, and she had a green bow in her hair with a jingle bell in it.

"Phil will drool over you." Mike replied.

"I know, I want to surprise him." Courtney giggled.

"He should be around in a bit," Lil replied. "He wasn't at the house, but he promised to make it in time for the party as your Guest of Honor."

"Oh, I hope so," Courtney said. "It wouldn't be any fun without him."

"I'm The Ice Cream Man!" Ed cheered.

"Let's dance, Ed!" Dee Dee beamed.

"Well, as long as they're having fun..." Courtney said softly.

"Uh, they're 'special'." Mike told the blonde rich girl.

"Good day to all of you, and welcome to our home..." A blonde boy greeted as he came at the top of the staircase with a pipe that blew bubbles. "It's always nice to have warm company in the time of the holiday season, especially if you have such as good taste as I do~"

"Do you keep the Abominable Snowman here?!" Dib asked.

Everyone just groaned and face-palmed.

"Please, everyone, enjoy the party, and there's food and drinks at the table if you get hungry or thirsty." Courtney told her guests.

Everyone came into the party as Christmas Carols played in the background and they all came together. Courtney looked out the window as she waited for Phil to come so she could surprise him.

"Courtney always knows how to throw great parties." Ginger smiled as she came with Darren.

"You said it." Darren nodded in agreement.

"Oh, Jo~?" Justine's voice called.

Jo turned around and her jaw dropped as Justine was wearing her Christmas outfit, her hair was down, and she even grabbed a candy cane and put it in her mouth to make her look sexy. Justine gave her girlfriend a wink.

Courtney looked over, but kept looking out the window as she waited for Phil to come. "Oh, where is he?" she pouted. "It's not like him to stand me up like this."

"Actually, he's coming, and just getting ready to give you a big surprise." Mike told the blonde rich girl.

"Really?!" Courtney squealed.

"Oh, yeah," Lil smiled. "He wouldn't stop talking about it, he's just so excited to see your reaction."

"In fact, he should be here right about..." Mike said before hearing a wolf howl. "Now."

Courtney squealed out of excitement. Everyone continued to mingle until suddenly, the doors opened.

"Please don't kick the doors," Winston told Phil. "Mr. and Mrs. Gripling will have my head for that."

"Oh, sorry, Winston." Phil said to the family butler.

"Philly!" Courtney beamed as she then jumped into her boyfriend's arms. "I was worried that you wouldn't show up."

"Sorry, Court, but I wanted to save you something special." Phil smiled as he carried Courtney.

"Oh, Philly, you didn't have to get me anything." Courtney smiled back.

"Why of course I did, you deserve a treasure trove." Phil smiled.

"He never talks that way to me." Lil whispered to Mike with a smirk as they shared a laugh together.

"I have to show you something." Courtney smiled as she then opened up her coat to show her cute outfit.

"Wow, that's a cute outfit, you look like those girls in Mean Girls when they sang Jingle Bell Rock." Phil smirked.

"I wore this just for you." Courtney smiled.

"Well, you look hot in it." Phil smiled back.

Courtney giggled.

"So, Courtney, anything special for this party?" Rhonda asked.

"Just to celebrate the holidays," Courtney smiled. "Also, we'll share some food later on with some games, and before you all go home, you will all be given your own very special present that Daddy bought off his credit cards for tonight!"

Everyone then cheered for that and danced to the music as it started.

Zan was sitting in a chair and drinking punch, looking to see that everybody was having fun, even Cindy.

"Hang on tight!" Cindy called out as she led a conga line. "Cha, Cha, Cha! Don't stop me now; I'm having too much fun!"

"You're a machine!" Manny added.

"I got goosebumps!" Tuck laughed.

"Hey, everyone, thanks for waiting for me." Dodie said as she came to the party.

Everyone else looked at her, looking annoyed and bothered.

"Ooh, is that cider?" Dodie smiled as she came to get some warm cider.

"Who the heck invited you?!" Otto glared.

"Yeah!" Cindy and Maxwell added.

"Oh, my invitation must've got lost in the mail, right, Courtney?" Dodie smiled.

"I didn't invite you, Jodie." Courtney folded her arms.

"Oh, Courtney, you're so funny, but, it is Dodie by the way..." Dodie smiled innocently before taking a present and shook it by her ear. "Ooh, what's this? It sounds expensive. I bet it's some Tori Spelling perfume."

"Hey, drop that!" Phil glared.

"Aw, chill out, it's a party," Dodie replied before she soon rushed over, seeing Mike and pushed Lil out of the way to go and see the tomboy. "Oh, my gosh, is that you, Mike?! I missed you so much!"

"Yeah? Well, I didn't miss you." Mike said.

"How can you say that?" Dodie asked.

"Because is Mike with ME!" Lil glared. "Courtney, can I take out the trash?"

"I'd be insulted if you didn't." Courtney replied.

"Did someone say trash?" Chester asked.

"Wait, you invited Chester McBadbat and not me?!" Dodie glared at Courtney. "HE LIVES IN A TRAILER AND EATS GARBAGE!"

"Well, that might be so, but he's a very nice boy." Courtney replied.

"NOBODY SHUNS ME!" Dodie yelled. "DO YOU HEAR ME?! NOBODY!"

"I'm going to get rid of you!" Lil threatened.

Dodie had a evil smirk and she grabbed Mike and kissed her on the lips which made everyone gasp. Lil then kicked Dodie clear out of the mansion and she went flying and landed in a trashcan.

"AND STAY OUT, DODO!" Courtney glared and slammed the door shut before going to Mike. "I'm so sorry about that, Mike."

"It's okay..." Mike said softly, a little disgusted though from what Dodie did.

"Come on; I'll show you what a real kiss is all about." Lil smirked.

"I'm excited for you." Mike smirked back.

"Taste the rainbow." Lil giggled as she then kissed Mike.

Mike enjoyed the kiss a lot better and many of the others 'awed' at the sight.

"Ah... Much better..." Mike smiled as she let go of Lil once the kiss finished.

Otto smirked as he threw punch at Eddy. "Oops!" he then said, not meaning it with a laugh.

Eddy growled and then he had a idea he grabbed a cup of punch and dumped it on both Jo and Spinelli when they weren't looking, then handed the two cups to Otto.

"WHO'S THE DEAD GUY?!" Jo and Spinelli snapped in unison.

"He did it." Eddy said as he pointed to Otto.

"No, he did it!" Otto pointed to Eddy.

"Oh, no problem, we'll just cream you both." Jo glared.

"Huh?!" Eddy and Otto replied. "But it's the holidays!"

"Ever hear of Season's Beatings?" Jo replied.

"MIIIIKE!" Eddy and Otto called out.

Mike just sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Ignore them," Lil advised. "They can't get away with everything."

"I just hope that Jo and Spinelli don't put them in the hospital." Mike hoped.

Jo and Spinelli soon chased Eddy and Otto while everyone else played games while eating Christmas cookies.

"Man, these are great, Winston." Danny smiled to the butler.

"Thank you, I learned the recipe from my mother." Winston smiled back.

Justin looked around saw that everyone was having fun. Jayna came over, wearing a short red Mrs. Claus dress with a black belt, black stockings, and black high-heeled boots, and she even had a Santa Claus hat.

"Hey, handsome." Jayna greeted.

"Huh? Oh, hi,... Oh, wow..." Justin's eyes widened. "W-Where'd you get that outfit?"

"Justine helped me out into getting this outfit," Jayna replied. "Do you like it?"

"I-I love it, it's just... Wow..." Justin said, feeling blown away.

"Wanna sit on my lap?" Jayna smirked before giggling playfully.

"I think it should be the opposite." Justin smirked back.

Jayna then came over to her boyfriend and came to sit on his lap.

"I'll go check on the presents." Winston said as he went over to a special room where the gifts were kept for the guests before they would go back home tonight.

Chuckie sighed as Christmas was always an issue for him back home.

"Chuckie?" Rhonda asked.

"Gah! Rhonda, you scared me." Chuckie said.

"Are you okay?" Rhonda asked.

"Sorry..." Chuckie sighed. "The holidays just make me think of my mother."

"Your mom's always home though." Rhonda said.

"No, not her..." Chuckie said as he looked out the window, staring into the sky as it gently snowed outside. "My mother... My biological mother."

"What happened to her?" Rhonda asked.

"She died when I was a baby." Chuckie sighed.

"Oh..." Rhonda winced. "I-I'm sorry, Chuckie, I didn't know."

"I don't talk about it very much," Chuckie said. "Dad told me about how much she loved Christmas, even if we couldn't always afford a lot of fancy things. Mom was a housewife, and you know how Dad is about the job market."

"I know that you must miss her, but think of today," Rhonda advised. "You have a nice family, good friends, and an awesome girlfriend." She then concluded with a kiss to his cheek.

"I guess so, it's just every Christmas I can't help but think about her..." Chuckie said. "Dad said when I was 2, he told me about her and we came to visit her on Mother's Day. Of course, I was just a baby then, but we decided to do that every year."

"I know that she's up there watching over you and is proud of you." Rhonda soothed.

"Thanks, Rhonda." Chuckie said.

"Sure thing." Rhonda smiled.

"You should consider joining the poetry club, you're so peaceful and helpful." Chuckie suggested.

"Maybe, now, come on, let's get back to the party." Rhonda said.

Chuckie nodded and followed her to get back to the party. Everyone continued to have fun, though Dodie glowered from outside and a garbage truck soon pulled up to take the can away with her inside of it, but the garbage man couldn't hear her protests because he had his music turned up loudly and drove away with her trapped inside of the junk.
