(Christmas eve)
In the midst of Winter the day before the most Glorious time of the year, snow was blowing hard and the cold was setting in. All across the city of England holiday spirit was a buzz and lights were flashing high and low. Christmas spirit was definitely coming around and none more than in the small street of Verona where the lights and cheer painted the streets and skies.
Inside their Garden a Certain red Gnome was busy decorating for the holidays, but was now taking a moment baking Christmas cookies in her Kitchen while merrily humming Christmas carols.
"Gnomeo did you put those lights up yet?" Juliet asks but there was no response. "Gnomeo?!"
Juliet walks in the Dining room and sure enough Gnomeo was fast asleep on the couch Tangled in Christmas Lights.
"GNOMEO!"
"WHOA!" A startled Gnomeo feel from the couch onto the floor "Ow my back!..Oh man that hurts, ah!" He whines like a baby.
Juliet rolls her eyes hard at her now aged husband "Gnomeo somewhere along the way you turned into this" She mumbled under her breath, snickering a little.
He gets up and looks to his wife "Never do that again" He says seriously.
Juliet rolled her eyes "Gnomeo I told you I wanted those lights up a long time ago and they're still in their boxes"
"I was just taking them out of the box"
"But I wanted them hung up already!"
"I was doing that too...But then I feel asleep, again" He said nervously.
Gnomeo and Juliet had gotten on in their time, a bit older looking but not too old to give up fighting and racing which is what they still did.
"Gnomeo look, I know you're...getting on in years!" Juliet says smiling making Gnomeo glare.
"Excuse me but who's getting white hair here?" He says pointing out Juliet gray hair streaks.
Juliet rolled her eyes again "But you need to pull it together, it's Christmas and I want this Christmas to be perfect" She pleads with him. Gnomeo could see this meant a lot to Juliet and he wanted her to be happy.
"Fine I'll get right on it!" Gnomeo says starting to put up the lights as Juliet smiles and kisses him.
"MUM, DADDY!" They hear a shrill voice and footsteps running down the stairs.
A young Purple hatted girl who looked like the spitting image of Juliet in every way with her green eyes and hair in the same style and even the same dress but in purple came walking into the Dinning room.
"Autumn please don't scream like that" Gnomeo says rubbing his head
"Sorry daddy!" She giggled. Autumn was 15 and so much like her mother in every way possible.
"Did you need something sweetheart"
"Yes! Nye is messing with me again!"
"NYE!" Juliet screamed
"Coming!" Another voice called then came another purple Gnome with shaggy blonde hair and green eyes he looked no more than 13 wearing overalls and boots. "What's up!"
"Have you been messing with your sister?" Gnomeo glares.
Nye looks to his big sister "Oh Autumn you're such a bratty cry baby!"
"And you're a loser!" She snapped
"Not as big a loser as you are"
"Oh yeah"
"Yeah!"
"Both of you cut it out!" Gnomeo snapped
"Sorry!" They both sigh "Oh Cookies" Nye sets his sights on the cookies his mum was holding
"Don't even think about it young man, these are for your brothers and sisters when they come home for Christmas!" Juliet squeaked "Oh Gnomeo can you believe it all our kids back under one roof"
"Yes all 10 of my kids back here it'll be just like old times" Gnomeo smiled
"You don't sound too happy there Dad" Nye smiled.
"Oh I am! but it was hard taking care of 10 kids all these I'm can already hear their voices in my head now" Gnomeo sighed sitting on the couch.
"I still can't Believe we have 8 other siblings and I don't really remember them all" Nye admits
"That's cause by the time you were born was the time most of them were moving out!" Autumn explains
"Yes I haven't seen most of the kids for over 14 years now!" Juliet smiled.
"Neither have our friends if you recall they all got married to each other and moved out on their own" Gnomeo laughs.
"And had kids of their own too" Nye smiled making his sister laugh
"Yes we've got so many Grandkids now!" Gnomeo sighed happily.
"When are they suppose to be coming?" Autumn asked
"Soon! In the meantime everyone should get back to work"
"And by that you mean just me!" Gnomeo says annoyed
"That is correct!" She announced laughing
"Hardy har har"
"You two go wash up!= you're brothers and sisters will be here any moment"
"Race you UPSTAIRS!" Nye pushed his sister and raced upstairs
"HEY! Cheater!" Autumn ran after him causing a lot of noise
Gnomeo and Juliet look at each other in dismay but also laugh "Well we got through 8 of them now just to survive these two" Gnomeo says
"Really cause I was gonna say we have 2 more, make it an even dozen!" Juliet jokes
"Not gonna happen, especially at your age" Gnomeo laughs
"What's that suppose to mean, Old man!?" Juliet lightly punches his arm and he pushes her on the couch, she grabs his collar taking him with her as they both laugh and kiss as always.
"Even after years of marriage and kids I love you more than ever!" He flirts stroking her hair and she grabs his cheeks
"Gnomeo I have just one thing to say to you...Lights, Up, now!" And with that Juliet gets up and walks back into the kitchen.
Gnomeo sighs and goes back to hanging the lights all by himself, it was hard work but he finally managed to get them all up in time "Done!" He sighs wiping sweat "Now for the moment of truth" He flicks the switch and the whole place gets filled with twinkling lights and dazzles the eyes.
"Hey everyone get a load of this" He shouts. Juliet Autumn and Nye came back and gasped looking all around them.
"Oh Pretty!"
"Awesome Dad!"
"Honey, it's beautiful!" Juliet gasped holding onto his arms.
"Looking Good Dad!" There came a sudden voice surprising them all.
They turned around and saw 8 familiar faces looking at them smiling.
"KIDS!" Juliet smiled
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" They all shouted walking inside smiling and chatting.
Juliet raced up and hugged them all "Oh I'm so happy to see my babies again"
"Us too mother!" Jr. said being the first to hug her and continued down the line.
Just like Autumn, Jr. turned into the exact copy of Gnomeo in appearance and personality. Violet had grown into a beautiful young lady with a very curvy figure fit for a model her hair grew longer and she was still her same mean yet caring self. Vanessa had grown out of her baby attitude and became just another one of her siblings tough and energetic but still help onto her sweet nature. Tyler got a bit more muscular and looked slightly like a much younger version of his grandfather. Jake was still his perky adventure loving self ,he got stronger and taller and still a charming ladies man. Kelly was stIll In her prIme, stIll rockIng the ponytaIl haIrstyle. She kept herself movIng at all tImes. Juno and Bruno had split their separate ways but still remained closely attached to each other.
The couple couldn't be happier to see the family they raised together back under one roof.
"You've all changed so much" Juliet smiled
"In appearance yes but not in personality!" Tyler assured her.
"And mother you look so beautiful" Jake compliments
"And you smell just like I remember" Juno said sniffing her
As well as Bruno when he says "Roses and grass, my to favorite things" Juliet lets out a long laugh.
"Oh I've missed you boys!" She says hugging all her sons
"What nothing for me!?" Gnomeo says missing out on the love too.
"Merry Christmas Daddy!" The girls all ran to their father with kisses and warm hugs.
"Don't you 3 look like beautiful ladies"
"Thanks Daddy!" The sisters all giggled "You look older too" Kelly mentions getting a lot of laughs.
"Ahem what about us!?" Nye speaks up for him and Autumn "We still exist too!"
"Oh my Autumn look at you the spitting image of mum" Vanessa compliments as Autumn gives her a hug
"And Nye look at you...Last time I saw you you were nothing but a newborn and Autumn was still in diapers" Jr. said tussling his hair laughing.
"He still is in diapers" Autumn snickers
Nye glares at her "Shut it you!"
"Loser!"
"Spoiled brat!"
"Thumb sucker"
"Bed wetter!"
There was a stream of laughter among everyone "I see the family genes have kicked into them!" Jake smirks
"We're so glad to be back with you guys!" Tyler smiled at his parents.
"I know I prepared a big Family dinner for us all" Juliet motions to the kitchen where there was a table dressed in good food.
"Great I'm starved!" Bruno said as they all made way towards the table.
"Mmmmm! I forgot how well you cook mother" Kelly said stuffing her face.
Juliet grins "I'm so use to doing all the cooking for you kids I just got so good at it"
"And now I have to do the cooking for my Kids" Violet smiles
"Me too!" Vanessa agrees.
"By the way where are your Kids?" Nye asks at the end of the table.
"Indeed I haven't seen my Grandkids in a while" Gnomeo smiled
"You haven't seen any of us in a while either" Tyler mentions making everyone laugh
"Well our kids are in the main garden with our better halves!" Jr. sighed.
"You can all see them tomorrow at the Christmas party" Jake smiled.
"I can't wait to see my nieces and nephews!" Autumn said
"Yeah but one day you and Nye will have kids of your own too" Jr. asks
"But not for a few years from now!" Gnomeo said seriously
The kids all laughed "I see you're still the same way Daddy" Vanessa mumbled.
"Alright who's ready for cookies and Ice cream" Juliet says passing about a big tray of desserts
"MMMMMMMMMM!" Everyone moaned "Oh mother I forgot how yummy your cookies are" Kelly smiled
"You really need to show me how to cook like this" Violet said.
The following morning the snow was high but the feeling of Christmas kept everyone warm and snug all day long. On the first glimpse of sunlight on the powdered Snow a certain young boy was awaking the house.
Later that night the family gathered around the Christmas tree decorating it like they always use to do on Christmas eve, streaming tinsel and holding up balls and lights
"It's been a long time since we did this as a family" Jr. says
"Yeah we had some good times as growing up!" Vanessa smiled
"Oh look the star for the top of the tree!" Juno said holding it up
"I want to put it up!" Nye jumps up for it
"You did it last year!" Autunm eyes him
"Did not"
"Did too"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"NOT"
"TOO!"
"STOP IT!" Gnomeo breaks them apart.
"Why don't you both do it!" Jake suggests
Autumn and Nye look at each other "After you Sis" Nye offers. They both take hold of the star and place it at the top together as it starts to shimmer and shine bright.
"Reminds me of our first Christmas together" Juliet whispers to Gnomeo as they hold hands.
Not long following that they began to gather by the fire and sing classical Christmas songs, everyone was so happy to be together like the family they use to be but now that they were all grown up it felt like they were only so many more times they could actually be a whole family together so they liked to savor every moment they could.
As the night drew colder and the snow piled up higher only hours away till the light of Christmas day. Gnomeo and Juliet were snuggled on the couch surrounded by their loving kids watching Christmas stories and just enjoying being together.
"Anyone want more popcorn?" Gnomeo asked
"Actualy mum and dad I think I'm gonna turn in for the night" Jr. said yawning and stretching
"Me too!" Tyler said yawning.
"Autumn and Nye already have!" Violet laughs seeing the two youngest of the family already asleep by the fire.
"I think it's time we all found sleep tonight!" Gnomeo says as they all carried themselves upstairs and to their old rooms.
"Ah it feels so nice to be back in my old room" Jr. said
"Nice and quiet"
"Just like old times" Everyone was smiling and happy as they got ready for bed.
"Goodnight everyone!" Vanessa called
"Goodnight!"
...
The following morning as the first glimpse of daybreak light shined across England awakening Humanity into the happy day of Christmas. First all was quiet in the garden not a single thing was stirring except one young gnome who was about to awaken to the day.
"Finally the day is here!" He jumps from bed and creeps into the halls hearing all his family sleeping and snoring away.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS WAKE UP EVERYONE...CHRISTMAS IS HERE!" Nye shouts through the halls disturbing everyone.
"NYE! SHUT UP!" Violet scream slamming her door.
"LOOK ALIVE EVERYONE CHRISTMAS DAY HAD ARRIVED!" Nye was full of the Christmas joy
"I SAID I'M SLEEPING IN HERE SHUT UP!" Violet screamed again.
"YOU'RE THE MAIN ONE SHOUTING VIOLET SHUT UP YOURSELF!" Jake screamed slamming his door.
"EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP BEFORE I MAKE YOU ALL SHUT UP!" Jr. slammed his door.
Gnomeo and Juliet peak into the halls after awaking from the shouting "The joyful screams of our kids on Christmas day, exactly like old times" Gnomeo says sarcastically.
"Mum, Dad Merry Chirstmas!" Ney runs to his mothers arms smiling
"Oh you too sport" Gnomeo tussles his head.
"Kids time to wake up it's Christmas morning" Juliet said knocking on all their doors.
Vanessa came out of her room first yawning and cranky "We're already awake thanks to Violet!" She shouts to violet ho just walked out too.
"Hey Nye screamed first!" Violet said walking out. One by one they all emerged from their rooms with bedhead and ugly morning faces.
"Merry Christmas!" Autumn said prancing into them all with a big smile.
"Little too soon sis" Nye says.
"Well me and your father will go start breakfast you kids all wash up" Juliet says as they both walk away.
There were 10 kids and only one bathroom, this was a battle they struggled with for a long time living with each other "Well we're all back to this again" Tyler says
"Looks like" Kelly said "Who goes first?"
"You all know the Drill sloppiest ones in back tidiest ones in front!" Jr. says as they make their bathroom line.
After they were all clean and dressed they head downstairs to Breakfast with their parents.
Tyler takes a big whiff of air and sighs "Nothing like the smell of Christmas in the morning"
"Or looking at all the pretty snow in the ground" Kelly giggles
"This Christmas should really be one to remember" Bruno says.
"I'm so excited this year I'm going to sing in the Christmas pageant!" Autumn smiles
"Congrats sis" Juno smiled.
"You know sweetheart Kelly was chosen to sing in the pageant a few years ago maybe she could help you" Juliet smiles.
"Really?!" Autumn looks to her big sister.
"Sure!" Kelly smiles "It's the most fun part of the Christmas parties"
"Speaking of which when is the party?" Jake asks
"Later in the evening we've got loads of time" Gnomeo says
That's when the phone began to ring in Jr.s hands "Hello" He answers but that was when the others phones began to ring too.
"Hello!" They all answered their phones the same way as they began to talk all at once with low mumbles
Jr. was the first to get off his phone and sigh "Mum Dad I have to get to the main garden" He says standing up.
The others got off their phones too "Us too!" They say.
"Something wrong?" Gnomeo says looking up from his paper
"No! but Jackson's having trouble with the kids and needs me as always" Violet huffs
"Yeah London too"
"And Benzin!"
"So does Jennifer"
"And Bennie"
"Oh well we'll come with you guys to see out precious Grandkids"
"What about your kids right here?" Vanessa wonders.
"You guys are old news" Gnomeo laughs making them all roll their eyes
The entire family finishes breakfast and heads to the main garden. The whole Garden was redone in the most splendid display of Christmas colors and decors any gnome has ever seen. Red, white, Silver, Green and Gold surrounded everyone's eyes.
"Oh my it looks so much prettier than I remember" Kelly smiled.
"It does everyone takes such good care of it, especially our parents" Juliet smiled.
The kids all scattered about to find their families all of them had someone in their lives and started their own lives and careers with them including having children of their own.
"London!" Jr. called seeing his beautiful wife.
"There you are!" London said running to him. She got taller and a bit thicker with a curvy body shape her hair grew to just below her chin with her green streak still hanging in her face and her round glasses, to Jr. she was the most beautiful girl there was, they got married when Jr. was 19 and she was 17 they moved across England and raised up their own family.
"Merry Christmas Baby!" London smiled at him happily
"Merry Christmas to you too baby" He said with a gentle kiss
"How was seeing your parents?
"I could ask you the same thing" She said making me laugh
"Well my parents were so happy to see me"
"As were mine"
"But not as happy as they were to see..."
"Daddy!" There were two shrill voices.
"Oh there are my kids" Jr. smiled
Kyle was their oldest at 13 with a purple hat like his father copper hair, blue eyes and glasses like his mother. He was very wise for his age but also very strong and sneaky like his dad, he enjoyed racing and reading and looked after his little sister.
Hazel was an energetic hyperactive girl at 10 years old. She wore a red hat, had pale blonde hair, blue eyes and pink rimmed glasses also like her mother she could squirt water.
"Merry Christmas Daddy!"Hazel said holding her fathers arms
"You too precious!"
Kyle marched up to him with a high five "Hey Dad whats up?"
"Not much sport" He says tussling his sons hair.
Hazel tugged on his collar "Daddy when can we open our presents?!"
"Soon I promise" He said nuzzling her nose and wrapping London to his waist.
"Why don't we go find my parents they're dying to see you kids" Jr tells as they all walk off.
Over by the Well Violet was marching up to find her Husband. "JACKSON!" Violet screamed walking around towards the wishing well "Jackson?!"
"There you are its about time!" Jackson huffed. He had gotten more muscular and lost a bit of weight over the years he and violet had been together for a few years and got married after their kids were born.
Violet walked up to him slow and simple "Uh is there something you wanna say to me?"
Jackson looked to her and rolled his eyes "Yeah! Merry Christmas!" He smiled kissing her on the cheek
"Better!" she smiled "And why did you call me from my parents this early?" That' when something hit her in the back of the head "OW! What the..."
Violet turned around and saw two young kids were running like wild making a mess and fighting all around yelling like maniacs.
Jackson looks to her with an annoyed look "That's why!"
Jonah and Quinn were the twins to Violet and Jackson both at the age of 12 with red hats and black hair like their father but with blue eyes and small bodies like their mother and very strong. Knowing their parents reputations as bad, mischievous troublemakers its no surprise that they turned into wild troublemakers themselves with a thirst for fighting and rough playing but also good and loyal to their friends. Jonah was more of a troublemaker than his sister and Quinn was more of the rough player.
They were running around tackling each other and disrupting what was suppose to be a nice Christmas day celebration.
"Violet I've been putting up with them all night and morning do something!" Jackson snaps rubbing his forehead.
"KIDS!" Violet screamed and all was still "Both of you sit down"
"But mum!" They whined.
"NOW!" The both huffed and sat on the grass.
"I love when you yell like that" Jackson smiled wrapping to her waist.
"UGH!" Jonah and Quinn gagged "Get a room!" Jonah cringed.
"Hey don't bother to look if you don't want to see" Jackson said making them roll their eyes.
Violet snickered and looked to her kids "Alright if you both promise to behave you can go to your friends"
"Yeah we'll behave" Quinn said like she really meant it.
"That's my girl" Violet gave her daughter a hug "Now go on and no misbehaving"
"Hey wanna wrestle!?" Quinn asked her brother before she jumped him and swung on him. The second they were able to move they went right back to messing around acting like the bad kids they were. Violet just put her head down, mothering those two was not easy.
"Those two" Jackson huffed rolling his eyes.
"Gee who do you think they get it from?" Violet eyes him
"Uh you're not exactly innocent yourself" He points outs.
Violet snickers and walks closer to him "You said you liked a bad girl"
"And I do..and you're about as bad as they come!" They both laugh and kiss for a moment before something grabs their attention
"QUINN JONAH WHAT DID I SAY!?" Violet huffs walking up to discipline her kids.
Wandering around with her hands to her stomach a certain brunette was scooping the area, looking for her Family.
"Benzin!?Kids?! Where are you!" Vanessa searched all over the place but couldn't find her Husband or her
"MUMMY!¨ She heard and felt something cling to her legs she looks down and sees 3 little gnomes looking at her.
"Well look who we have here" Vanessa smiled
Emma was their first born and oldest daughter with light blue eyes and freckles she sported a nice shaded blue hat and long brunette hair. She was 12 and very smart and sweet like her mother but was more like her father (for reasons you can all probably guess)
Their son Milo was a quirky blue hatted 11 year old with short blonde hair, orange eyes and a bit of a comedian for his age. He loved messing with his sister and getting into trouble but enjoyed hanging with his dad more.
Little Jane was an adorable yet silent 6 year old, she was very shy but energetic and only spoke when spoken too. She had scruffy black hair and freckles and just like her father had unmatched eyes right orange eye and left green eye.
All three kids shared one thing in common like their father they were part spies and had to keep it a secret from everyone, even their own mother.
Vanessa smiled looking down at her kids "I thought you kids were here!"
"Yep here we are!" Milo said as they all laughed
"Great but where's your..."
Vanessa suddenly got turned around and looked into the face of her lover "Father? I'm right here!" He said nuzzling their noses together
Vanessa smiled looking at the loving man who gave her so much, they'd been married for years now and had such a happy little family.
"And just where were you? I told you to watch the kids?!"
"Answering a phone call from work"
"You've been getting a lot of calls from work lately"
He shrugs "Hey when you have the job I do you get a lot of calls"
Since Jazmin was now retired she passed down the spying to her kids, who were all more than professionals at it.
"What do you do for a job?" Vanessa asked
Benzin wrapped his arms around her "Something I just enjoy doing!" Benzin didn't like keeping the fact he was a spy from Vanessa but it was only to protect her at any cost.
Vanessa let out a loud yelp and held her tummy, Benzin held her arms "What's the matter?"
"Mummy are you okay!" Jane asked concerned
Vanessa took a big breath in and out slowly and smiled "I'm good now
"You sure?" Benzin asked still concerned
"I'm good and so is the baby!" Vanessa says rubbing her tummy, she was 7 months pregnant with their fourth child who was a boy by the way.
"Here maybe you should sit down!" He pushes her down on a rock so suddenly "And do you need anything else perhaps?"
"You don't have to keep babying me!" Vanessa says getting sick of Benzin treating her like a baby.
Benzin could see the annoyance in her eyes and grins "Sorry I just don't want anything happening to our little Logan" He says rubbing her tummy.
Vanessa smiles and pushes him away "Logan is just fine, its the freaked out daddy I'm worried about!"
"Well let's not think about that now because it's Christmas!" Benzin scooped her up and gave her a bunch of kisses
"Ew gross!" Their kids said with smiles
"When you 3 find love you'll do this too in front of your own kids" Vanessa smiled making them all laugh.
"But it has to be real love!"
"How do we know it's real daddy?" Jane asked
"You'll know sweetheart!"
"Why don't we show them what real love looks like" Vanessa flirts
Benzin smirked back at her "I like the sound of that" Benzin grabbed her and kissed her more passionately than ever. They didn't even see it when Jenny knocked into them
"Oh sorry guys didn't mean it" She said walking around in a fast motion. Jennifer was starting to resemble her mother in body shape and voice and she was a very independent women with a husband and a family.
"Tyler!...Tyler?...TYLER!" She screamed to the heavens.
Someone suddenly covers her mouth "Girl will you can the loud talk!" Tyler said smirking
"Tyler!" She smiled jumping into his arms
"Merry Christmas Jenny!" He smiled giving her a long gentle kiss
"Ew! Cootie germs!" They heard small groans.
Tyler and Jennifer had been married for a while now and had a small family that consisted of them and their 2 boys. Their oldest Son Eric was a masculine 10 year old with a thirst for adventure and goofing around he had blonde hair with brown eyes and a Purple hat. Josh was a red hatted 9 year old who was in some was awkward from time to time but playful and acted like a goofball along with his brother.
"So what have you been doing last night"
"Trying to deal with our kids alone thank you! and must I remind you I'm carrying more offspring!" Jennifer was 4 months pregnant with their 3rd child a baby girl.
"You look so cute when you're pregnant!" He flirts.
Jennifer let out a giggle "Awww did you hear that Lizzie daddy said you look cute" She coos to her tummy.
"I was refering to you. But I know my little Lizzie will be adorable too"
Eric and Josh were running around tossing snowballs everywhere making a mess of all the decorations.
"Boys settle down!" Tyler says seriously. They just ignored him and continue on goofing off.
"They've been like this all night and I'm exhausted! " Jennifer collapse on a nearby chair.
"They're just excited it's Christmas!" Tyler smiled
"So am I it's the perfect holiday to be with all my family"
"And to get a little Christmas Kiss from your hubby!" Tyler flirts puckering his lips.
Jennifer rolls her eyes "You want to kiss, catch me!" She storms off running
"Way to go mummy!" Josh smiled cheering.
"c'mon boys lets go chase down your mother" Tyler took off
"Yeah" Eric and Josh raced off with him.
Now wandering around was, Dashing Jacob strutting around with his feet deep in the snow and being his natural born cool self. He was having trouble finding a certain girl with his kids.
"Where is that girl when I need her" He mumbles to himself still walking around, unaware he was being watched from a distance.
Jake stopped in mid motion when he heard some giggling and chatter behind him. He turned swiftly but there was nothing there just snow on the ground and the wind blowing. He shrugged and continued on walking.
"Oh Jake!" he heard a voice and looked behind him again, but still nothing
"Who was..."
"GET HIM!" He hears voices and then he was tackled to the ground by 3 little gnomes
"I've got him down!"
"Quick grab his legs"
"We've got you know Daddy!"
Jake let out a laugh by his kids tackling him, until he saw some footsteps at his face and looked up to see a very attractive girl with braided blonde hair and a thin curved body looking down with a flirty smile.
"You wanna do something about this!" He said seriously while laughing
Bennie looked down at him "Magic word?!" She said sternly
Jake rolls his eyes "Please!" he said in a mocking tome.
"Kids let your father up!" She said seriously
"Yes mummy!"
"Need a hand!" She helps Jake back to his feet
"Thanks Bennie!"
Being one of the youngest couples around Bennie and Jake haven't been married for as long as any other and already they had a 4 year old son Ross who was sweet and cute and so much like his father with brown hair, green eyes and a purple hat. His younger brother Joey was 3 with a Blue shaded hat with blue eyes and short blonde hair like his mother, he was very energetic and a charmer with the ladies like his dad as well. Their youngest daughter Hannah was 2 and a half years old and the spitting image of her father in girl form from the purple hat to the brunette hair and green eyes.
Just like Bennie and her siblings her kids were half spy or at least would be once they were old enough. Bennie also had to keep her secret life from Jake, even though she felt wrong to hide it. It was for his own good.
"Kids I told you about tackling your father!" Bennie says
"Sorry mummy!"
"No it's okay Bennie it was actually pretty fun!" Jake says picking up Hannah in his arm and kissing her.
"Well play later it's almost time for you kids to open presents"
"YAY!" They shouted running around like, kids do.
...
Soon everyone had split off to be with their friends the older groups had gathered by their usual spot to catch up.
Darling are you ok?" Benzin picked her up brushing Her off.
"Oh I'm alright now" She siged rubbing her tummy. "But where'd that snowball come from?"
Small footsteps were heard as young Kyle walked up "Hey mum, Dad"
"Kyle"
"Did snowball happen to come by here!"
"Yes it did, right into Vanessa head! " London said sternly.
"Sorry' Auntie Vanessa" Kyle apologized
Vanessa grins "It's ok dear no harm done"
"whistle* Yo Kyle get the lead out your pants and get back over here!" Hazel snaps.t
As Kyle ran back to hIs frIends the rest of them laughed "KIds"
"Reminds me of you at that age" London said snuggled against his chest.
As everyone was talkIng the announcer stepped up on stage "Hello Verona Garden, MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
"MERRY CHIRSTMAS!"
"How's everyone feeling?" They all began to chant good and fine. "Nice cause now it's almost time for everyone to step up and open their Christmas presents!" Everyone mostly the kids were jumping around happily.
"But not before we have a little Christmas family Game Competition fun!" The announcer says as everyone liked the sound of that.
"Okay first game is an obstacle course, the parents will start off running it to the yellow flag, then pass it off to the neck gnome who will have to skate across the frozen pond, from their the next player must climb over the rock wall and grab the flag to win, so families line up!" Dolly announced
All the families spread out to their spots, The adults were all lined up at the starting line and their kids spread out. "On the sound of the flare parents start running!"
"Oh I'm ready!" Jr. said
"Not as ready as me!" Jackson said.
"None of you will beat me!" Benzin smiled
"Ready, set...*Shot*" The adults all took off running with great speed, they were all tied for about a good pace until they began to break apart.
Jr. handed Hazel the stick to continue "Skate on darling"
"She took off skating across the ice "Eat it losers"
"No how about you eat it Hanna" Quinn out skated right past her.
"Oh no you don't!" They began to wrestle and hit on each other all across the ice, not aware the others were skating right past them.
"HAZEL, QUINN STOP FIGHTING AND WIN THIS!" Jr. and Violet yelled to their daughters who were now aware of what was happening.
The first to reach the ends of the pond was Josh who was sprinting away.
"That's my boy keep going" Tyler cheered
"Here bro take it home!" Josh passed the stick to Eric who now had to scale over the wall. He was a bit slow but he was climbing fast but not fast enough
"A little slow there buddy!" Joey said out climbing him and reaching the flag first "BOO-YAA BABY" He cheered.
"And we have a winner of the first games Joey!"
"That's my boy" Bennie and Jake cheered for him as he ate up the attention.
"Beginners luck" Quinn scoffed
"It's your fault you should've beaten him if you weren't messing with Hazel" Jonah yelled at her
"Oh shut up" She snapped
"You shut up loser" They began to fist fight each other.
"Whoa you two save it for the next games" Kyle said breaking it up.
"Okay y'all now's onto the next contest this one is just for the kids in a a battle of strength and reflexes...Cause it's Wrestle time" Dolly says.
All the kids were going in for that one, no questions asked "Alright kids since it's wrestling I don't need to explain it cause you all know it so well...But just remember this is for fun so no bloody brutality" They all nodded yes.
"At the sound of the bell you fight last kid standIng wins"
"You're all going down!" Jonah and Quinn said
"I beg to differ" Hanna says
"I'm the oldest and the strongest you're all be finished in 5 seconds" Kyle boasts
"Says you" Milo snaps
All the kids circled around in fighting positions "All for one!" They cried.
The adults and younger children were cheering them on as the announcer rang the bell.
"Ready kids...set...Fight!" It was an all out battle the kids were just going at it full blow style and their parents cheering them on as they went.
Some werefighting In pairs others went in solo, all wanting to be the last one standing.
"Ok its been a good 15 minutes and its all come down to Kyle and Quinn"
There was a standoff between them both waItIng to strIke
"Don't hold back on me Kyle" QuInn mocked hIm
"Wasn't plannIng too" He smIrked.
It was a whIle of rough playIng before QuInn fInally had Kyle down wIth the rest of them about to put an end to the fIght.
Jonah smIled at hIs sIster "Looks like victory is at hand for us sis"
"You said it Bro!"
"THAT'S MY GIRL" Violet cheered "Mummy's so proud of you!"
Just as it seemed Quinn would win this one, there came something no one suspected. Two dark shadows sprung from nowhere and knocked her into the pile with the others. A lot of gasps were heard from the audience that was watching wondering what had just happened as well.
"What the..."
"Hey guys..." The two shadows revealed themselves as the kids all smiled.
"Cousins!" Emma, Jane, Ross, Joey, Hannah and Milo smiled seeing their cousins Vince and Sal.
Vince was Fuscia's only son with a dark purple hat like her, Brown eyes and wavy copper. Scarlett was unable to conceive her own child and adopted Sal as a newborn, he had a ruby red shaded hat, blue eyes and shaggy pale blonde hair. Both boys we're 13 like Kyle and stuck to each other like brothers, and like their cousins, they too were part spies like their mothers.
"Good to see you all"
"Good thing we dropped in when we did"
"Oh Hardy Har Har! very funny VInce" Quinn said in a sour tone.
"Looks like we won whatever this was" Sal smirked
"Can I get a high five cousin" Vince asked. Sal reached up his hand and in a surprise attempt flipped Sal over his head and down with the rest of them.
"Wow didn't see that coming" Sal said feeling doped by his best cousin.
"Looks like I'm on top of this one!" Vince said in victory as everyone cheered him on.
"Well in a surprising twist and last moment arrivals we have a winner Vince!"
"Yeah Yeah" He cheered
"No fair!" Kyle screamed "totally NO FAIR!"
"Yeah totally no fair you set me up!" Sal said just as upset his cousin tricked him.
"All's fair in wrestle dude" Vince said proud fully walking away.
"Jerk" Sal hissed with the others who were just as upset.
"Suck it up children time for the next event" The announcer rushed them to the rest of the games.
The next few hours were nothing but fun family competition, some got really competitive and others were just out of Brains vs. Bronze but everyone had a great time win or lose.
"Well that was our last event tonight I hope you all had a fun time win or lose" Mostly everyone agreed to that.
There was a large bell that rang and everything went quiet. "DINNER TIME!" Lady Bluebury announced as there was a whole table of food lined out for everyone.
"Finally all those games made me famished" The kids were the first to race there, grabbing all the sweets before the adults got to them.
"Kids dinner first then dessert!" London says seriously.
Everyone lined up for the food and sat with their friends or loved ones, they prayed before eating and a few people said a few words and then everyone just pigged out.
"Vince don't play with your food" Fuscia snapped
"That goes for you two Sal" Scarlett follows.
"Yes mother!" They sighed and actually started to eat.
Gnomeo and Juliet were sitting side by side talking to each other when they felt another's presence. "Mum, Dad!" They turn and see Jake behind them.
"Hi Jakey!" Juliet smiled kissing her favorite son "Did you need something?"
"No but these three did" He steps aside showing his three young offspring.
"Hi Grandma Hi grandpa" Hannah smiled that cute little toddler grin of hers.
Gnomeo picked her up in his arms "You are just so cute"
"Thanks grandpa"
"I'll leave you three here while I go find wherever your mother ran off to" Jake says walking away.
"So Grandpa can I ask how did you and grandma meet?" Joey grinned pulling on Juliets apron.
"Your Daddy never told you that story did he?" Gnomeo smirked.
Joey shrugs "He said to ask you if I wanted to know the whole story?"
"So can we hear it or what?"
Gnomeo and Jules looked at each other "Of course you can"
"Yay! Storytime" Hanna smiled as she squirmed in Gnomeo's arms.
"Well to start off..." Just as they began the rest of the mini gang came walking up.
"Hi Grandma Hiya Grandpa" Hazel smiled running to them.
"What's up?" Kyle asked marching up.
"Grandma and Grandpa were telling us a story" Ross says
"What kinda story?" Eric asked
"The one where they met"
"Ooh really what happened?" Jonah asked.
"You don't know?" Jules asked.
"Nope our parents never told us! They said it was too much to remember all at once" Kyle said.
"We could tell you the whole story if you want" Gnomeo asks.
The kids all sat down wanting to listen "Okay see back then things were a lot different when Juliet and I..." They told the kids the whole feud story and every detail in between which they all found so fascinating.
After half an hour they put all their grandkids to sleep as they all got tucked away in warmth from the snow on the ground.
"Mum, Dad" That's when the gang marched up towards them. "There you guys are"
"We've been right here with all our adorable little grandkids" Juliet smiled seeing them all napping with tiny smiles on their faces.
"Whoa how'd you get them to sleep?" Vanessa asked amazed
"Yeah I can't get Jonah and Quinn to rest for anything" Violet sighed.
"We were telling them the story of how we met and it put them right to sleep at the very end"
"They're not alone I heard that story so many times growing up It put me to sleep too" Jr. snickered. making his parents roll their eyes but smile.
"We'll take them from here, thanks Mum and Dad" Tyler smiled as they all scooped up their kids and left.
About a few hours later as the cold night started to set in and everyone was finishing up the last of their dinner and cleaning up food.
"It's getting late, the prty must be nearing the end" Juliet wonders.
"It's not over until ourAutumn sings" Gnomeo protests "Where is Autumn? "
"Here I am" Autumn came skipping over in a fancy purple dress with white snowflake designs.
"Sorry I'm late, Kelly was helping me with a few pointers"
"There's nothing wrong with singing like a star" Everyone laughed.
Dolly soon began to climb up the pedestal to the microphone as everyone settled down to watch and listen.
"Alright y'all I hope everyone's enjoying themselves" Everyone began to cheer "Good cause it's time to kick off our Christmas pageant Party!"
"And we're going to start it off with a performance from the chosen favorite singer of the Garden"
"Autumn that's your cue" Juliet smiles pushing her forward
"Okay here I go" Autumn says running behind the curtain.
"And here to kick us off is our Pageant girl herself you all know her you all love her here she is...Autumn!" The curtains rose as Autumn stepped out in her most beautiful Christmas themed gown. She looked scared and pale and nervous.
"So Atumn how's it feel to sing here on stage"
"Exhilarating!" She speaks in the mic making others laugh
"Well everyone can't waIt to see you perform"
"Me neIther" She grIns wIth rIsIng nerves.
"Lets gIve her a hand folks" applause exploded about only makIng her more nervous.
"The stage is all yours kid" She stands alone all eyes on her.
"Oh I hope I can do this!" She says in her thoughts
"YOU CAN DO THIS HONEY"
"Knock em dead sis"
"We love you" Her family cheered her on and that gave her courage as it came time for her to sing.
Autumn smiled and waved at them for her support "Music please" she asks as the music plays and she let her voice be heard.
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from the country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the king of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
As her voice faded with the final key of the song, Autumn flinched waiting for a reaction and there was a madhouse of cheering and applause once she finished no one ad ever heard such a wonderful voice and Autumn felt wonderful doing it too "Oh thank you thanks so much" She blew kisses to the crowd as they chanted her name.
"Thanks everyone, thanks so much"
"Autumn Everyone give it up for her and her beautiful voice" Dolly says as there was more cheering.
She hops off stage to her Family "Oh honey that you were incredible" Juliet kisses her
"I was, wasn't I?"
"You have the most wonderful voice, just like you're mother" Gnome hugs her
"We're so proud of you!"
"Nice work sis" Nye high fives her
"You were great" Tyler smiles
Kelly came up and hugged her "Oh Autumn you were great, not as great as I was but still great for you"
"That actually felt great, I loved it!" She smiled jumping around.
"Well we have a few more of the pageant to get through and tons more fun before this night ends so let's get started!" The rest of the party went off without a hit, nothing but fun games and prizes, like a winter carnival wonderland of delight. Everyone was having so much fun they were all pretty bummed when it was over.
"Okay everyone it's about that time when the party is coming to an end" Everyone began to sigh and boo that their fun time was ending "I know I know, but before we sign off lets get one more song from our little super star singer" Dolly mentions as Everyone looked at Autumn
"Well Autumn one more song, what do you say?"
Autumn looked around smirking "I say...Hand me the mic!" She raced up on stage for a final song and requested a fun song.
"Here's one I think we all should know by now" She says as the music played.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!
And Just like that it began to snow and everyone cheered and Danced around even more
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
With that final note Autumn threw the mic down and Jumped off stage into a fresh pile of snow and started making face down snow angels. "WHOO!" She pops up laughing and smiling and races back to her parents side.
Well that ended the Christmas night, as everything was taken down and packed up and cleaned for tomorrow another day.
"This whole night has been a great one" Scarlett says
"Why's that?" Fuscia asks asked
"Cause we all got to spend it together again like when we were young"
"And now we're spending it with both our families as well" Vanessa adds
"Both?" London looks to her
Vanessa nods " Yeah! The families we all grew up with and the families we started on our own"
"I know I was just messing with you" London says laughing with the group.
After a while everyone had gone back to their families just one final time, for soon they would have to return to their own lives far away from each other until next time.
"This was the best Christmas ever" Juno said
"Definitely one I'll always remember" Jake says
"I can't think of a better way of spending Christmas" Violet said.
"Or who we'd rather spend it with" Bruno says
"I know one thing that would make this Christmas go off with a bang" Nye smiles
"And what's that son?" Gnomeo asks
"FIREWORKS!" Nye shouts into the garden, as if on cue the skies were painted with the blowing and sparks of fireworks.
"Ooohhh...Aaaahhh!" Everyone smiled watching the sparks fill the sky, some couples shared kisses and the children laughed and played in the snow.
Everyone gathered around by the big tree decorated for Christmas just smiling happy and warm. They all felt the need to sing one last song before their night was over.
hark! the herald angels sing
"glory to the newborn king!"
peace on earth, and mercy mild
god and sinners reconciled
joyful all ye nations rise
join the triumph of the skies
with th'angelic host proclaim
"christ is born in bethlehem."
hark! the herald angels sing
"glory to the newborn king!"
christ, by highest heav'n adored
christ the everlasting lord
late in time behold him come
offspring of the favored one
veiled in flesh, the godhead see
hail th'incarnate deity
pleased, as man with men to dwell
jesus, our immanuel!
hark! the herald angels sing
"glory to the newborn king!"
oh, oh, oh
ah
hail! the heav'n born prince of peace!
hail! the son of righteousness!
light and life to all he brings
ris'n with healing in his wings
(mild he lays his glory by)
born that man no more may die
born to raise the sons of earth
born to give them second birth
hark! the herald angels sing "glory to the newborn king!"
yeah
Merry ChrIstmas to all and to all a good nIght.
