Cartoonfan181: Yes and no. We're still planning and working things out.
It was now the 17th as everyone was getting ready for Christmas. Luke was crying as the siblings made their lists.
"What's wrong?" Leni asked, looking over at Luke.
"Luke's on the naughty list!" Luke sobbed.
"Wait, really?" Lana asked.
"Yes!" Luke cries.
"It's real! Is Santa Claus real?" Lana asked Luna.
" Um….yeah, sure he is…." Luna lied.
Luke just runs to his room.
"I have a plan to get Luke on the nice list…" Lincoln says.
"Do we get to see Santa?" Lana asked as Lily smiled.
"He's not real." Lisa says as glass shattering was heard for a sound effect. Lana and Lily glared.
"Take it back!" Lana says as she gets angry at Lisa.
Meanwhile, Lincoln and Luna are trying to come up with a plan to get Luke on the nice list.
"What's your plan, Lincoln?" Luna asked.
"We help Luke commit nice acts." Lincoln says.
"How can we do that?" Luna asked.
"Easy! Some sort of charity. You know, like donating." Lincoln says.
"Great idea, little dude!" Luna says, smiling at Lincoln.
Luke watches the neighbors walk through the neighborhood from his bedroom window. He knows they'll get gifts and goodies, while he gets nothing.
"If I can't get Christmas, I'll ruin it…" Luke says.
"No way, that is exactly what will keep you on the naughty list." Lana says.
Luke just feels more and more upset.
"You're getting what you want. I'm going to wake up to coal in my stocking for sure…." Luke says.
"Hey, Luke, I have a plan to change all that." Lincoln says.
We soon see Lincoln, Clyde and Luke in Lincoln's room.
"A Joy Bringer project?" Luke asked. "How will that change anything?"
"Trust me, nothing is nicer than bringing joy to kids during the Christmas season." Clyde says.
"Yeah, with this, you'll get off Santa's naughty list." Lincoln says.
Luke looks a little unsure of what the boys are saying, not feeling convinced.
"Trust us." Lincoln says.
Luke sighs. "Fine…."
They begin to set it up at the park.
"Okay, this should look nice." Lincoln says.
Luke just stands there, unsure. Soon, some kids came up. Luke shakily hands them new toys, managing a small smile.
"Thank you!" they say and run off.
A few days later, it was Christmas Eve. Luke was sadder than before, not confident at all.
"Wanna see Santa?" Lana asked.
Luke lays on the floor, shedding tears.
"Luke, you can't just keep giving up." Luna says.
"I'm not confident…." Luke says.
Soon, Luke's cousins were coming. He really liked to see his cousins.
When they arrived, Luke ran up to Preston, sobbing. Preston hugged him.
"I'm still on the naughty list…." Luke says sadly.
"It's not true….there is no such thing as Santa." Lisa says.
Luke begins to shake and shiver with fear.
"We all know Mom buys the presents." Lisa says as Lily cries.
Just then, a man in a red suit appears. Luke runs away in fear.
"It's just someone else dressed as Santa…." Lisa says as Lana looks in awe.
The man takes out a book and looks at Lisa.
"What?" Lisa asked. The man then adds her name to a list in the book, laughing rather joyfully.
"Santa!" Lana says.
"Sigh, I wanted to see Krampus." Lucy says.
Luke is hiding in a closet, crying.
"Seriously, who are you?!" Lisa says and takes out a blaster.
"Ho, ho, why, I'm the real Santa Claus, young lady." Santa says, looking down at Lisa.
"Why are you here? The real Santa only comes when kids are asleep." Lisa says.
"True." Lana says.
"I have come here to make some changes to my lists." Santa says.
Santa goes to Luke. Luke is seen shedding tears in the closet, still fearful.
"Ho, Ho, Ho! Hello, Luke!" Santa says, kneeling next to him.
Luke sniffs and looks at Santa.
"You've come a long way, Luke." Santa says.
Luke still looks sad. Santa shows Luke his nice list.
"I don't see my name on there." Luke says sadly. "I knew it…"
Lisa checked the naughty list. "Heh, Lola's on it." Lisa says with a knowing smile.
Luke still sheds sad tears.
"Is Luke on the naughty or nice list?" Lana asked.
"I've probably been bad…." Luke says, crying. Santa then shows Luke the nice list with his name on it.
"No way…" Luke says.
"I still don't believe in magic or Santa." Lisa says.
Santa then looks at Lisa.
"Come on, seriously, you think he's telling the truth?" Lisa asked.
Santa then shows Lisa the naughty list.
"What?" Lisa asked, crossing her arms before seeing her name. "What?!" Lisa asked.
Santa soon leaves. Luke is still in disbelief.
"Santa, wait!" Lisa says, finally believing.
It was soon time for bed.
Lisa snuck out of bed and was nervous. She really wanted a gift and she felt a lot of guilt.
"I can't be on the naughty list, oh, I'm so sorry…" Lisa says, wishing she could make things right.
Luke is crying himself to sleep.
Lisa goes to Luke's room.
"I need your help to see Santa…" Lisa says.
Luke is sound asleep, still shedding tears.
"I'll go alone." Lisa says and enters the garage, setting up Lola's car. She kept quiet as she put it on jet mode and flew to the North Pole.
She soon arrives, seeing a busy toy factory. There are several types of toys being made and peppermint sticks being bent to make candy canes. Some elves are wrapping gifts and loading them into Santa's sleigh.
Lisa was stunned. She shivered as it was cold. Suddenly, Lana and Lily came out of hiding.
"Santa!" They say.
Lisa looks at them. "We're girls on a mission. Our goal? Check those lists."
"Yeah, and see what's in those presents." Lana says as Lisa looks annoyed.
The girls make their way in, undetected. They look at a map of Santa's workshop upon entering.
"Okay, let's go." Lisa says as they begin to walk quietly. They then sneak into Santa's den as they soon see the lists.
Lisa reads the nice list, name by name.
"What does it say?" Lana asked.
"Lucy, Leni, Lincoln, Luna, Lily and Lana are on the nice list…that means…" Lisa shakes, fearing she was naughty.
"What about Wuke?" Lily asked.
"What list is Luke on?" Lana asked.
"He's nice, but I'm…" Lisa shakes again.
"Ho, ho, ho!" Santa says as everyone froze.
Lisa is speechless as she stands in her place. Lana squeaked.
"I-I…" Lisa stammered. "I can explain!" She says as she then begins to explain everything.
"How about this? I have a lot of gifts to deliver. If you can help me, I may consider taking you off the naughty list." Santa tells Lisa.
"We would love to." Lana says.
Meanwhile, Luke is tossing and turning in bed, still sad.
Lucy goes to him. "Hey, Luke…" Lucy says and kisses his head. Luke just holds Lucy, shedding tears.
Meanwhile Lisa, Lana and Lily were delivering gifts, thanks to Lisa's machines.
"This is awesome!" Lana says.
Lisa soon heads to the manor and places the gifts under the tree. She then filled the stockings before taking her leave.
"Wait, this is my house…" Lisa says.
Soon, she makes one final stop, to Albert's place.
Albert and Rita were awake as Rita was crying. Albert is seen comforting Rita.
Lisa snuck in. She couldn't hold back tears as she was getting emotional. She left the gifts and ran out.
The next day, Luke just lays in bed. He didn't feel happy or excited, and he wasn't smiling.
"I won't come down…" He says. "I'm not happy…"
"Luke, please give Christmas a chance." Lucy says.
Luke sadly comes down with Lucy.
There were gifts for everyone, even Luke. Luke didn't feel convinced that he was nice enough.
Lisa was still sleeping.
Lucy sees Luke's gifts as she lets Luke open one. Luke gasped.
"A limited edition Ace Savvy figure…." Luke says in shock.
Lisa slowly woke up and came down tired.
She saw everyone with their presents.
Lucy gives Luke a present, which was a new Ace Savvy suitcase.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as Lisa went to open it. She sees Darcy and gasps, blushing.
"Darcy?!" Lisa says.
"Merry Christmas!" Darcy says as Lisa hugged Darcy while sobbing.
Meanwhile, Luke was emptying his stocking. Tears came to his eyes when he saw coal in it, despite getting gifts.
Lisa froze, realizing she failed, and looked in her stocking.
"Coal…." Lisa says, pouring out coal.
Luke throws his stocking across the room and sobs uncontrollably.
Lisa goes to Luke. "It's my fault. I took Santa's job to be on the nice list, and I screwed up." Lisa sobbed.
Luke sobbed even more. "I don't get candy or fun goodies like the others!" He then tosses everyone else's stockings from the mantelpiece and runs up to his room, sobbing harder than ever.
"Get out!" Lucy shouted at Lisa, who ran out as Lucy went to comfort Luke.
"I thought I was good, Lucy!" Luke cried.
"You were. Lisa gave you coal. Don't worry, I'll make sure she pays." Lucy says, looking for a curse.
Luke sobbed and started to get upset that he didn't get candy and fun holiday goodies in his stocking.
Lucy offers Luke her candy and goodies.
"It's just not the same as having my own…." Luke says, giving it all back. He then lays on his bed, crying.
Lisa was out freezing in the cold. She sobbed as Lucy had basically kicked her out.
Lucy went up to Lisa furious and kicked her. "How could you ruin his Christmas?!" Lucy says as Lisa coughed out blood and was scared of Lucy.
Lisa is just speechless at this point.
"Tell me! Luke was nice, but you punished him for no reason! So, I'll make sure you stay away from him!" Lucy says as she was getting closer and was going to really hurt Lisa, who shook in fear, realizing she was done for.
Luke spent the rest of the day in his room, crying.
Lucy returns and read Luke a poem to cheer him up.
"I can't be happy…." Luke says.
Meanwhile, Lisa was on the snow, wounded as she lost her glasses. She sheds regretful tears as she just stands up.
Lisa fell over in pain as Lucy had wounded her legs to make sure Lisa couldn't make it home.
Darcy takes Lisa to her house.
Luke doesn't come down for Christmas lunch that afternoon.
"Poor Luke…" Leni says.
Luke cries in his room for the entire lunch hour. His cousins did everything they could, but it was pointless. Luke was completely heartbroken.
Lincoln looks at Lucy. "Luke is not ever going to be happy again…."
"It's all that damn brat's fault!" Lucy says, losing control.
Luna puts Lucy's book away and goes to console Luke.
"Lucy, where's Lisa?" Leni asked.
"I-I-I…." Lucy stammered, realizing she just hurt her sister and ran to find her.
"Lisa, where are you?" Lucy called out.
Meanwhile, Luke still wouldn't smile.
Luna sings him a song, but that didn't work. Sam tries making silly faces, but that doesn't work, either.
Lucy soon sees Lisa. "Lisa, come on…" Lucy says, taking her by the hand as Lisa screams.
"Don't hurt me!" Lisa says.
"Lisa, I'm sorry, I really am, I got mad because you hurt Luke." Lucy says.
"H-How is he?" Lisa asked.
"He's fine, but you should stay here. He's really upset right now." Lucy says as Lisa shakes in fear. Lucy leaves.
Lucy came back home as the siblings glared at her. Lucy looked ashamed.
"I didn't mean to kick her out." Lucy says. "I was just upset with what she did to Luke."
"You're starting to act like Luke." Lincoln says.
"Well, Lucy looked up to Luke, and he was one of the few who actually spent time with Lucy." Lana says. "Luke really loves her as a sibling. Accusing Lucy of acting like him is a bit much." Lana frowns at Lincoln.
Later, Leni gives Luke some food.
Luke sniffs and hugs Leni. "Thanks, sis…"
"Hey, it's okay if you don't want to eat with us, I understand…a bit…but I hate seeing you go to bed hungry." Leni says.
"This is my worst Christmas ever. Even if I did get the Ace Savvy figure I wanted…" Luke says sadly.
"Do you hate Lisa?" Leni asked.
"No. I just thought I was supposed to get candy and goodies because I was nice…but I got coal instead…" Luke says as he holds on to Leni.
"Hey, hey, it's going to be okay. I'm sure next year will be awesome." Leni says. "Besides, I think you may have gotten something in return, look outside!" Leni says as there were some gifts for Luke.
"What?! How!?" Luke asked
"Remember all your good deeds? They must have paid off…which means you got the trust of Royal Woods." Leni says. Luke is so shocked by this, he starts to cry tears of joy.
Luke runs downstairs and begins to open Ronnie Anne's gift.
"Roller skates! I love them!" Luke says.
Luke looks at the other gifts. He opens Charity's gift.
"Keys to a moped scooter! Oh, wow!" Luke says, smiling.
Meanwhile, Lisa was still crying.
"I screwed up." Lisa says. "I messed up Luke's Christmas…"
She made her way home. Upon her arrival, she sees a smile on Luke's face.
"Luke, you're not mad?" Lisa asked.
Luke is smiling because his Christmas got better. He shakes his head in response to Lisa's question, then goes back to opening gifts.
He sees Leni got him a new suit. Luke smiles and hugs Leni.
He then sees Lincoln's gift and opens it to reveal an Ace Savvy graphic novel set he wanted. Luke smiles at Lincoln, thanking him.
"No problem." Lincoln says as there was a knock on the door.
Lincoln opens it to see the McBrides.
"Merry Christmas!" they say. "Where can we set these gifts?"
"Right over there." Lincoln says, pointing at the tree as they do so.
Leni and Lana's friends came with Darcy.
Luke frowns and goes upstairs. Lucy follows him.
"Why do I have to be at the Christmas celebration?" Luke asked.
"You don't." Lucy says.
"It's obvious everyone wants me to be a part of it." Luke says.
"We all like spending time with the ones we love, but if you want to be alone on Christmas, I guess it's okay." Lucy says.
Luke goes to his room upset, no longer happy.
"Luke, please, I-I…" Lucy stammered trying to find a way to get Luke to be happy.
"All I want is for them to quit asking me to be a part of the party! Is it that hard?!" Luke says, mad.
Charity nods as she goes to tell everyone.
Luke sighed as he noticed a new stocking that was for him and he poured out candy and goodies. "Whoa! For me? This is amazing!" Luke says and cheers.
After all the festivities, Luke prepares for bed.
"An okay Christmas…." Luke says as he puts on his pajamas and climbs into bed. He then holds his new action figure close and falls asleep.
