"It's so great to see the whole community get into the holiday spirit," said Tommy.

"Yeah," said Billy, "It's nice to know that underprivileged kids will have a happy place to spend Christmas Eve."

It was Christmas Eve, and everyone was getting into the spirit. Aisha and Kimberly were setting up a concert for the parents within the community with the kids. Well, everyone was into the holiday spirit except for Serena. Serena was a bit down in the dumps since it would be her first Christmas without her family. Ever since that monster from the Negaverse killed them during the Sailor Wars, her spirit has been a bit down in the dumps. She didn't even show up for the celebrations hosted by the Rangers and the rest of the community. Now, the Rangers were missing one of their friends on a special day. "Hi," said Aisha.

"That sounded great you guys," said Adam.

"Thanks," said Kimberly.

"Thanks," said Aisha, "The kids have been working really hard."

"Here it is guys," said Ernie as he came over to the Rangers, "The Christmas tree wouldn't be complete without it."

"Alright," said Tommy.

"Yeah," said Kimberly.

"Where's Serena," asked Ernie, "I thought she would be here with you guys."

"She might be late," said Adam.

"Let's save the star until she gets here," said Rocky.

"Well, say 'Merry Christmas' when you see her," said Ernie as he left.

"We will," said Aisha.

The Rangers' smiles fell as they realized that their friend wasn't at Ernie's in the first place. Adam was most concern ever since Jason left for the Peace Conference. The others knew about his crush, but decided not to deter him. Though, Tommy, Billy, and Kimberly would be watching closely. They even have to pick up Serena's gift in a couple of hours. The Rangers looked thoughtful as they wondered where their friend is. "Maybe she is just busy getting her apartment set up for the holidays," suggested Rocky.

"Highly likely, but improbable," said Billy.

"Why," asked Aisha.

"Remember what Jason told us," said Tommy.

"Yeah," said Kimberly, "I almost forgot about that."

"What do you guys know," asked Adam.

"Serena's parents were murdered by an enraged monster," said Billy.

"WHAT," shouted the new Rangers.

"Quiet down," hissed Kimberly.

"Was it one of Rito's," questioned Rocky.

"No," said Tommy, "This was before Serena moved here."

"Poor Serena," said Aisha.

"Let's see if we can find her," said Adam.

"Right," said the others as they went out of the building.

The Rangers split up as they were outside. Tommy and Kimberly went one way, Billy and Aisha went another, and Adam and Rocky teamed up together to find their wayward friend. It was Adam and Rocky that found her in the park. Serena was sitting alone, her face with a sad smile and a couple of tears. Rocky informed the others that Serena was in the park. The others said that they will be on their way. In a couple of minutes, Adam and Rocky were met up with the others. Kimberly looked and sighed sadly as she saw how Serena looked. All the Rangers walked over and surprised Serena. "What are you guys doing here," questioned Serena.

"Trying to find a wayward friend," said Aisha as Kimberly wrapped her arms around Serena.

"What about the Christmas concert," questioned Serena.

"Well, we also want to celebrate Christmas with you," said Adam.

"We heard about your family," said Rocky.

"From Jason to Tommy and the others," questioned Serena.

"Got it in one, girl," said Aisha.

"Serena," said Kimberly, "We all are here for you."

"Thanks you guys," said Serena as some tears still trekked down her cheek.

"Don't worry about it, Rena," said Rocky.

"We'll have the best Christmas ever," said Tommy.

"Affirmative," said Billy.

After a long silence to remember Serena's family, the group of seven stood up and walked towards Serena's apartment. The Rangers were surprise to see that Serena got a tree but didn't decorate it yet. Serena sheepishly gave an embarrass smile while the others just reassured her that they understood. Kimberly and Aisha dragged Tommy and Rocky towards the tree. Billy and Adam laughed as they walked over and proceed to decorate it. Serena just smiled in shock as she saw her friends doing something very caring. Kimberly ran back and dragged Serena forward. Serena was now smiling and laughing after the tree got decorated within her living room. Before they could go back to Ernie's, their communicator went off. "We read you Zordon," said Tommy.

"Tommy," said Zordon, "You and the other rangers must come to the Command Center immediately," said Zordon.

"We're on our way," said Tommy.

"On Christmas," sighed Serena.

"Cheer up," said Aisha.

"Yeah," said Kimberly, "We'll be done in no time!"

- The Command Center –

"What is it Zordon," asked Billy.

"Rito Revulto has taken over the North Pole," said Zordon, "He's captured Santa and has forced the elves to mass produce his evil Christmas toy."

"Since when did Rito get into the toy business," asked a sarcastic Adam.

Serena looked down in worry. She had a feeling that they would need her senshi powers once more to combat Rito and his stupid goons. As she looked up, Billy and Kimberly had place a hand on either shoulder of hers. Serena smiled a bit, but frowned once more when they saw what Rito was doing at the North Pole. The Rangers looked disturbed as they saw Rito hitting an elf to make the toy faster. "That is so disturbing," said Serena.

"You said it," said Adam.

"We got to get to the North Pole and stop Rito," said Rocky.

"Yes, Rocky," said Alpha, "But there is one additional complication."

"Because of the combination of the North Pole's unique polarity in a crossroad of Holiday magic," explained Zordon, "You're Morphing powers will not work there. Alpha can teleport you there, but you will have no special powers to protect you."

"That's a chance we'll have to take," said Tommy, "Santa is way too important."

"Um," butted in Serena, "Can you scan for planetary magic?"

The Rangers all looked at Serena while Serena just looked at Zordon. She wanted to help anyways she can after being a bit of a 'Scrooge' on Christmas Eve. The others didn't know what she will do, but hopefully it will help them. Alpha exclaimed really loudly that the eyes diverted from Serena to Alpha. Alpha said that scanners show that planetary magic will not be affected. Serena smiled as she calmly closed her eyes. With that, the Rangers now glowed a mixture of colors from Serena's silver aura. "What did you just do," questioned Aisha as the glow stopped.

"Gave you some planetary magic as an early Christmas gift," said Serena.

"What powers," asked Tommy.

"Kimberly has Venus. Tommy has Uranus. Adam has Jupiter. Aisha has Mars. Rocky has Neptune. Billy has Mercury," said a smiling Serena.

"Prodigious," said Billy.

"Morphinominal," said Kimberly.

"Thanks Serena," said Adam.

"Not a problem," said Serena.

"Alpha will now teleport you to the North Pole," said Zordon, "Good luck Rangers and Serena."

"Keep warm, Rangers and Serena," said Alpha as he teleported the seven away.

- The North Pole –

"I can't believe this," said Tommy, "Santa's house."

"This is cool," said Aisha.

"Cool," exclaimed Rocky, "It's freezing!"

"No doubt about that," said Serena.

Everyone gathered together and started heading to the house. Serena was submerged in some flashback about Beryl until Kimberly snapped her out of it. She asked her if she was alright, and Serena nodded her head with a smile. The rest, except for Adam, were already at the window, hiding in sight. Adam was waiting for Kimberly and Serena to catch up. Once they were all at the window, they saw Rito being bossy, the Tenga birdbrains were moving the elves along, and Santa all tied up with a Christmas bow on his mouth. Tommy turned to the others and exclaimed that it was what Zordon said. "Even with the planetary powers," said Adam, "We can't just attack. Santa and the elves will just get hurt."

"You're right," said Tommy, "We have to think of a different way."

"Do you guys think that Rito and his goons can use their powers too," questioned Serena.

"No," said Billy, "The chances are good. I mean, if our powers, except for Serena's, don't work here, why would theirs? We can't be certain until we test that theory."

"I say we go for it," said Rocky.

"Where's Serena," questioned Adam.

"What," exclaimed Kimberly.

"She's inside," exclaimed Aisha.

"No way," said Tommy.

While the Rangers were around talking about theories and plans, Serena was listening to them and decided to do her own thing. She knew that she was a part of their team, but sometimes, she felt a bit left out. So, without informing anyone, Serena snuck into the workshop and hid near some huge gifts. Serena looked around and saw an elf. Gesturing for the elf to come over, Serena waited until the elf snuck behind the present. Serena then whispered that the Rangers were here to help. The elf gave a smile as another plan was formed from what the Rangers had in store. "Merry Christmas Rito," said Aisha as she appeared with Kimberly.

"Power Rangers," snarled Rito.

"Why don't you come outside and see what we brought you," said Kimberly.

"Hey, Power Rangers," shouted Rito as he followed, "Come back here!"

"Get ready guys," said Rocky as he saw Rito come out.

"I don't feel like playing hide and seek," said Rito, "I know you're out there!"

"That's right Rito," said Tommy as all the Rangers revealed themselves, "We're all here."

"Where's the other dweeb," questioned Rito, "Ditched her huh? I knew that you guys would never include that other brat in your team!"

"What," questioned an angry Kimberly, "Of course we include her!"

"And looks like we were right," said Adam.

"Your powers are worthless here, Rito," said Billy, "This is a place that only good can win."

"Now guys," said Tommy as he glowed dark blue like Uranus.

Once they were done glowing their respective planetary power, they were surprise to see Goldar coming to help out Rito. They, however, were prepared. A lot of different planetary magic went up and shot towards the two goons. While that was going on, Serena was helping the elves defeat the Tengas within the workshop. A bunch of marbles and playthings were used. The Tengas fell over and a bunch of laughter was heard. When the bad guys were tied up and Santa was freed, Serena was hugged by Aisha and Kimberly. Adam and Rocky were just glad that Serena was laughing, even if it was the expense of some bad guys falling over. "Don't everybody celebrate yet," said an elf, "This whole incident has put us way behind schedule. We'll need a miracle to finish the presents on time."

"Well," said Santa, "We have one thing on our side. This is the time of miracles."

"Well said," said Serena.

"Guys," said Billy, "I think we can help."

"Let's start helping," said Adam.

So, everyone started to help wrap and bag presents in Santa's huge red bag. Serena was smiling all the while, her worries were forever in the back of her mind. Yet, Santa saw the sad look on Serena's face and stopped a bit to talk with her. Serena poured some of her fears onto Santa, but Santa just gave a hug to her and said that everything will be alright. Serena smiled as she went to help place a bow on a gift. The Rangers, however, saw that Serena wasn't still quite right as she appeared to be. Yet, they couldn't do a thing about it until later. "Ho ho ho," said Santa, "Christmas is saved, thanks to you Power Rangers."

"And Serena," piped up an elf.

"Yes," said a smiling Santa, "And Princess Serenity."

"What are we going to do with those," questioned Billy to the evil tops.

"You leave these to me, Billy," said Santa.

"Oh my gosh," said Kimberly, "We gotta go!"

"Oh," said Santa, "Take this big sack with you. It's filled with special presents for all the kids at the party."

"Aw," said Tommy, "Thanks Santa. They're really going to appreciate this."

"Bye everyone," said Serena.

"Take care, Serenity," said Santa as they all left.

- Back at Ernie's –

"Sorry we're late Santa," said Tommy as all seven arrived, "We brought toys for everyone."

All the children ran up to them and were smiling at the gifts they got. Kimberly looked around to see Serena slipping out and sitting on a window sill. Kimberly kissed Tommy's cheek and walked over to Serena. Tommy, however, saw where she was going and motioned for the others to go where Kimberly and Serena was. As the sack of presents were done, the others walked towards Serena and Kimberly. As they walked closer, they could hear the conversation between Kimberly and Serena. "What's got you down," asked Kimberly.

"Just being alone on Christmas is the last thing I wanted," said Serena.

"You have us," said Kimberly.

"I know," said Serena, "But this will be the first time I won't be with my family."

"Well," said Kimberly, "This is also the first time I won't be with my mom."

"Yeah," said Serena, "But you still get to see her every day. I, however, won't get to see my family ever again."

"Serena," started Kimberly.

They could hear Serena sniff a bit as some tears came down her cheek. The others looked a bit alerted as they went towards the two once more. Serena looked up and then turned her face away from them. Each one looked at each other, wondering how to comfort their friend. Serena felt a brotherly hand on her head as she tilted up to see Billy. Billy looked at Serena with a sad smile while the others circled around, not letting the children see the distress friend of theirs. As Serena calmed down, it was Rocky who said some words. "Even though your family isn't here physically, they will always stay with you in spirit, Rena," said Rocky, "So turn your frown upside down and come enjoy the concert."

"That felt a bit better," said Serena, "Thanks Rocky, guys."

"Not a problem," said Adam.

"Yeah, Rena," said Tommy, "We'll always be here for you."

As the concert start and Serena smiled, the Rangers were talking a bit about Serena's early Christmas gift. Seeing that they only had some hours, they talked about a plan to get Serena to wherever they had to go. Serena, till the night of Christmas Eve, would never know what hit her until she saw for herself.

AN: MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you Ghostwriter for her help in getting the episode for this! =D Now, I know that I said I would write how Serena would be the Yellow Zeo Ranger, but I just remembered that I forgot to show how Jason, Trini, and Zack met the Starlights!
