Meanwhile with Patch, Oddball, Domino, the Santa Pups, and B-Dawg...

"This way!" B-Dawg led the way as he came through the doggy door to where he lived now.

Patch came in next.

B-Dawg came behind the boombox and then turned it on with his frontal paw to put on hip hop music. "All right, Dawg, I'm gonna show you how to kick it like me!"

"I like kickin' it." Puppy Paws smiled.

"Yeah, we know," B-Dawg replied. "But you know, bust some moves!"

"As in break dance." Hope said.

"Watch and learn, cous." B-Dawg smirked before coming out to the floor to break dance.

Everyone began to watch B-Dawg break dance. B-Dawg started out by doing the worm, he then stood up and spun in the middle of the floor, and smirked to himself.

"Way to break a move." Puppy Paws commented.

"Yeah, dawg, I'm the best," B-Dawg replied. "Let's see you give it a shot, playa."

"Show him your moves, Puppy Paws." Hope smiled.

"Okay, I'll give it a whirl... Playa." Puppy Paws replied before going to the boombox and playing Christmas music which made his collar flash and he began to bounce around, spin on his head, and spin all around before accidentally hitting a table with his back paws which made a vase wobble and crash on the floor.

"I'll fix that." Patch said before using his magic to fix the vase.

"Did I bust some moves?" Puppy Paws asked.

"You busted something, alright!" B-Dawg replied. "You're just lucky Patch is here!"

"Uh, let's go see what MudBud does as an ordinary puppy." Charity said.

MudBud was unsurprisingly rolling around in the dirt of the front yard of his home. He then looked to see he had company and then rolled back on all fours. "Hey, dudes and dudettes!"

"Yo, Dog, it is your turn to hang with Santa Jr," B-Dawg told his filthy brother. He then turned to leave, only to bump into Hope. "Oh, sorry about that!" he then said.

"Oh, it's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going." Hope replied.

The two of them soon moved from left and right and where they were both blushing. B-Dawg and Hope soon smiled to each other.

"Uh, I, uh, better get going." B-Dawg blushed before running back home.

"Um, okay, see ya." Hope then said.

"Why is he in such a hurry?" MudBud wondered.

"I dunno, Dawg, he be trippin' fo shizzle." Puppy Paws replied, trying to use some slang.

"I don't think you need to talk like him." Noble said.

"But isn't that how ordinary puppies talk?" Puppy Paws asked.

"No, that's just how B-Dawg talks." Patch said.

"Oh." Puppy Paws replied.

"Whatcha doin', dude?" Domino asked MudBud.

"Just chillaxin' with a mud bath, dude." MudBud replied.

"Mind if we take a roll in it?" Charity asked.

MudBud smiled and allowed them. The Santa Pups all then got into the dirt and rolled around in the dirt to see if it was as fun as MudBud made it sound.

"Wahoo! This is so much fun!" Charity smiled.

"Now what're we gonna do, dude?" Puppy Paws asked.

"Let me show you my sweet pad, dudes!" MudBud replied as he then led them inside the house.

They all soon went inside with him.

When they came inside, the house was all white like it was brand new. One had to wonder how MudBud could live in a place like this.

"This is the cleanest room in the house," MudBud told them. "Strictly off-limits!"

"Dude, is it normal for mud to feel itchy?" Puppy Paws grunted.

"Really? Because I don't feel itchy." Charity said.

"Well, I do." Puppy Paws replied.

"No, dude, don't do it!" MudBud cried out.

Puppy Paws shook himself which made the dirt and mud splatter all over the room. Noble, Hope, and Jingle soon did the same thing as they felt itchy.

"This seems very familiar somehow.." Oddball muttered to herself about the spots.

Patch soon used his magic to clean up the mess. The Santa Pups' magic cleaned the mud off of them instantly.

"Oh, hello, MudBud!" a woman smiled as she came downstairs. "Oh, please, out of that room, we wouldn't want you to make a mess, now would we?"

MudBud soon got out of the clean room.

"I think it's Rosebud's turn now." Oddball decided.

"Agreed." Domino nodded.

They all then came to the female golden retriever puppy.

"Yo, BFDFFL!" Oddball called out.

"Oddball!" Rosebud smiled as she came out. "What's up? Alice is about to give me a new Christmas outfit."

"Oh, I hope it's Christmassy." Oddball smiled back.

"Sis, it's your turn to hang with the Santa Pups." MudBud told Rosebud.

"It was fun to hang out with you, MudBud." Charity smiled.

"Oh, um, no problem... Um, I'm sorry, which one are you?" MudBud asked.

"Charity." the white female puppy replied.

"Right... Charity... The pretty one." MudBud then nodded.

"You think I'm pretty?" Charity smiled while blushing.

MudBud smiled back sheepishly. "Well... Yeah, actually."

The two of them soon went silent while blushing.

"Rosebud, your outfit is here!" a girl's voice called out.

"Oh, uh, I better get going." Mudbud said before going back to his house.

"Oh! Um, bye then!" Charity called out before pouting slightly. "Aww..."

"You guys wait here, I'll be right back with a whole new Christmas look." Rosebud told the others.

"Wow! That should be fun." Puppy Paws smiled.

"Sure sounds like it." Jingle smiled.

Rosebud went inside to meet her human. "Be right back, BFDFFL!"

"I'll be waiting!" Oddball called back. She soon saw the Santa Pups confused. "Best Female Dog Friend For Life." she explained her acronym shared with Rosebud.

"Ohh." The Santa Pups smiled as they understood now.

"What's taking so long?" Puppy Paws complained before going inside the house.

"Puppy Paws, wait." Oddball said.

Patch sighed as he then went after Oddball who went after Puppy Paws who went after Rosebud.

Rosebud wore a cute pink top with white polka dots, she then gasped once she saw Puppy Paws come in. "You startled me!"

"That's what you're wearing?" Puppy Paws asked.

"You don't like it?" Rosebud replied. "I think it's totally fetch."

"You sound like you've been watching Mean Girls." Oddball giggled to that.

"Let's just hope Puppy Paws doesn't try to change it with his Christmas magic and cause-" Noble began after he came in.

"I like it, but it's not very Christmassy." Puppy Paws said to Rosebud.

"What could be more Chrismassy than this?" Rosebud replied.

Puppy Paws then used his magic and put Rosebud in a red, green, and white outfit which made her look like an elf. Rosebud screamed as she did not like this new look at all after looking in Alice's mirror.

"Thanks, Patch." Rosebud sighed in relief.

"I know how you like fashion and the color of pink." Patch said.

"Well, it does suit me, you too, Oddball." Rosebud replied.

"I'm more of a purple kind of gal, but I know what you mean." Oddball nodded.

"Uh, let's go see Buddha next." Jingle said.

"Please." Rosebud said.

Buddha was meditating in front of a statue as he was in zen and peace so far.

"Excuse me!" Puppy Paws called out. "Rosebud sent me, she was, like, totally freaking out about her Christmassy outfit."

"It's time for meditation," Buddha told him before going back into meditation. "Ohm... Ohm..."

"That looks like fun." Jingle smiled before she joined him.

"It is a good way to take a load off." Buddha nodded.

Jingle sat right next to him. "Neat statue."

"Isn't it though?" Buddha replied. "This Buddha statue came from the Ming Dynasty and is over 600 years old, very sacred."

"Ooh." Jingle smiled.

"Um, so, like, how do we do this meditating stuff?" Puppy Paws asked.

"We simply sit and breathe," Buddha educated. "Clearing our mind is the best jurisdiction."

"Sounds good." Jingle smiled.

"Allow me..." Buddha said before going into his meditation. "Ohm... Ohm..."

Jingle soon closed her eyes and joined him. "Ohm..."

Puppy Paws then tried, only for his Christmas magic to turn the statue into a snowman.

"Uh-oh..." Jingle gulped before she covered Buddha's eyes.

"Yikes!" Patch gasped, he then used his own magic to turn the statue back to normal.

Jingle soon sighed before uncovering Buddha's eyes and then went back to her position. Buddha looked curiously to Jingle, but shook his head and returned position as she was 'ohming' on her own.

"Puppy Paws, get that crystal under control." Patch whispered.

"I'll try." Puppy Paws pouted.

After meditating, they all then went to meet up with the Buddies. The other Buddies were waiting patiently as Buddha was on the way with the Santa Pups and Dalmatians.

"Looks like you didn't have a problem with the Santa Pups." Rosebud said.

"None that I know of." Buddha said while Jingle smiled sheepishly.

"That was kinda fun," Puppy Paws said to Buddha. "Being present instead of just giving presents is so zen."

"It was fun meditating." Jingle smiled.

"Quite spiritual," Buddha agreed. "Luckily I didn't lose 'it'."

"Why don't we play a game like ordinary puppies do all together now?" Oddball suggested.

"Yeah, like Hide and Seek." Domino smiled.

"Hide and Go Seek?" Puppy Paws asked. "What's that?"

"You close your eyes, and count down from twelve while we hide," Rosebud explained. "When you finish counting, you yell really loud 'Ready or not, here I come!' and you start looking for us. Got it?"

"Yo, dudes!" Puppy Paws replied, trying slang again which annoyed everyone. "That be some gnarly BFF fun fo shizzle! Namaste..." he then closed his eyes to begin counting.

"Alright, let's hide." Oddball whispered.

"12 drummers drumming..." Puppy Paws began to count down. "11 pipers piping... 10 lords a-leapin'... 9 ladies dancin'... 8 maids a-milkin'-"

"Everyone meet behind the log." Rosebud whispered.

Puppy Paws continued to count down, using the infamous 12 Days of Christmas carol to count down. As the puppies scattered across the forest together, they came to meet Rosebud behind the log. Puppy Paws was soon done counting. Cruge drove by in his car and then looked out the window to see Puppy Paws all alone.

"That's twelve, here I come!" Puppy Paws called out before going off to find the others.

"So, why did you want us all to meet behind the log, Rosebud?" Oddball asked.

"It's about Puppy Paws and what we're gonna do with him." Rosebud replied.

"Puppy Paws?" Domino and Oddball asked.

"Yes, he's causing trouble for us, we can only be thankful that your uncle helped us with his magic." Rosebud replied.

"We're sorry, we should have told you that Puppy Paws can sometimes cause trouble." Noble said.

"He doesn't mean to though." Hope added.

"Man, if Patch hadn't come in, we'd get into serious trouble!" MudBud exclaimed.

"I know, right? Dawgs, if he hadn't used his magic to fix the vase, I would be in big trouble." B-Dawg said.

"Guys, please! He's still learning!" Charity told the Buddies as they complained about her brother.

"Yeah, his crystal just acts randomly." Jingle said.

"He ruined our lives." MudBud said.

"That's a bit harsh..." Domino pouted.

"Yeah, he's just trying to learn to be an ordinary puppy." Oddball said.

Puppy Paws overheard the Buddies not liking him and walked away from the log in slight sadness.

"If your Uncle Patch hadn't helped us, we'd all be in the doghouse!" Budderball told Domino and Oddball.

"But remember the second reason why they're here?" Patch asked.

"Just give Puppy Paws and the others a chance, guys," Oddball said. "He didn't mean to let his magic get you all into trouble."

Patch wasn't going to use his magic to let some of the Buddies say the real reason why they were upset. Oddball and Domino frowned up to Patch.

"Maybe we should've stayed at the North Pole." Hope said to Noble.

"Now, hold up, pups; Puppy Paws's actions are not why we're upset." Buddha said to his siblings.

"It's not?" the other Buddies asked.

"No, don't you all remember?" Buddha replied. "Think about it..."

Each of the Buddies then began to think about the reason why they were upset.

"We all need to be at peace, it is the season after all." Buddha reminded his siblings.

The Dalmatians nodded in agreement.

"Zen Dude is correctamundo," MudBud had to admit. "Puppy Paws was only trying to help and lift our Christmas spirits."

"Yeah, and his moves were pretty sick." Hope smiled.

"Yeah, he totally schooled me in the hip hop battle." B-Dawg agreed.

"I guess I ate my way into the naughty list, it's not Puppy Paws's job to get me off." Budderball added.

'Looks like they've learned well.' Patch thought to himself.

"Let's go show Puppy Paws our compassion." Buddha said to his siblings.

The others then went off.

"Buddha, I'm so proud of you," Patch smiled. "That was so grown up of you."

"I was just doing what I thought was right." Buddha said.

Patch smiled to him and they then went off to join the others. Little did they know, Puppy Paws was taken away by Cruge.

"Where's Puppy Paws?" Rosebud asked.

"Let's try sniffing him out." Patch said.

"On it!" the puppies agreed and went to track down Puppy Paws's scent, and where they all continued to follow the scent until they couldn't smell it anymore instead of Cruge's scent.

"Ugh, I got nastiness and misery." Oddball pouted.

"It's either Cherry or Mr. Cruge..." Patch said. "Please be Cherry..."

"This nastiness and misery smells much more depressing then her." Oddball said.

"It's Cruge." Patch sighed as they followed the trail of the wretched dog-catcher.
