Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Christmas Day at Camp Mastodon."

(December 25. Camp Mastodon.)

The morning has come, and all the family members are now gathered in the mess hall, and the presents have been opened and everyone is loving what they have been given and are happy for those who have received. Let's just say the Loud cousins love what they're family got them.

Shane is happy at what Luna gave him, a brand new acoustic guitar, with strong strings and a fine line of a tune which could match with his voice. Lori and Leni teamed up and got Shane some new stylish clothes which will really make him look nice on any event coming which involves his musical talents.

EveLynn got something for Shiloh a small foot ball beginners play set, something to help him for when he does wanna be a foot ball player, he seems keen on tackling other. Lana got her cousin a new sweater which has his face on it, and sports ball patterns.

Lucy and Luan both pitched in, to give Shelby an amazing hat, that is Rudolf the Red nose Reindeer and it's nose glows. Lisa got Shelby a book on the many true wonders of the world, apparently Lisa is growing some smarts, but not the old Lisa mind, which everyone is grateful for that one.

Shelby is more thrilled when she opens the present from Lincoln. A photo album, an empty one which is ready for her to design and make. Lincoln hugs his cousin and she hugs him back and he gives her some encouraging words. "Every moment you spend with your family will always have something to remember, and truly cherish. Don't forget that one, little cousin."

Shelby has tears hearing this. "Thank you so much, Lincoln. Thank you!"

And from Lily, she got all of her family some bracelets which she made, and each one has their names with their specific colors and patterns, and they all love it!

This gives Shelby an idea, and she readies her camera, to snap a photo of this. The camera was given to her as a gift from Velvette. That's nice of her.

Loona walks into the mess hall. "Hey, we got some hot chocolate. Never too wrong to serve this in the morning." They all head over and get some.

Sharon then looks to Lilith. "I gotta wonder, do you ever do yoga?"

Lilith smirks. "From time to time, why?" Lucifer then feels like choking, and he remains calm and tries not to think about it, but his wife is giving him some flirting eyes and this makes him chuckle and blush. Charlie and Vaggie sees where this shit is going.

Gramps and Blitz high five each other, they got each other some fishing memorabilia. Blitz game Leonard a sword fish head, and Leonard gave Blitz a Blue Marlin head…. So, I guess that's kinda cool.

Then Lance goes towards Blitz. "Blitz, I wanna give ya something. I think you deserve it."

Blitz is confused, and he takes the present and everyone sees what it is. Blitz opens the gift, and he sees it is a spatula. "Huh? Wait, what?" He then holds it and feels the grip. "Huh, this feels nice. Good grip, and not too slippery. I like it, thanks big man."

Lance smirks and nods. "Anytime, you little demon…" Blitz hands him a present. "Oh, okay. Let's see what this one is." He opens it, and he is surprised. "What the heck? What?" It's a brand new exercise ball, and made from Imp City in hell.

Blitz smirks. "That right there is a hell-made exercise ball, don't ask how they make it. It can change color as you want it, change it's shape and texture, and it's size. Making for a good exercise performance just the way you want it to be."

Lance has tears of joy hearing this. "I love it so much!" He then hugs Blitz, and this man is crushing him. Verosika and Sharon go over, and pry Blitz off of Lance's grip. They do get the hug to stop, and then Lance looks to everyone else.

"Guys, I have something to say." They all look to the Loud father and he continues. "I am sorry, for everything that started where things went wrong. I shouldn't have been a big bully in taking what my brother wanted, and perhaps things would be better and you'd get to see your cousins every time. I just never got the nerve or the brain span to see what I really did to my kids."

"Because my kids deserve to see their cousins, and spend time with them and I took that away after what I did and what I was drawn too. I was never quite the best kinda brother to Lynnard, and I wish I was and then we'd always be spending the holidays together. I know that what I did can't be undone, and it seems too late to even tell him how sorry I am. I just don't wanna have my kids feel upset."

"This is all on me, never about my children or my wife. I wanna watch my kids continue to have fun, and be there with their cousins to see how things will go well for everyone in the future. I hope that what I'm saying kinda gets to the heart of this. But I'll just say it… I was always jealous of Lynn, and everything he had and everything he has done." That one surprises them.

"So, I am sorry for everything and for not seeing who I have become, and how my kids feel." With that being said, his wife and children go over and hug him. Then Lily joins in, followed by Lisa, Lana, Lucy, EveLynn, Luan, Leni and Lori. Blitz joins in as well, and then Lincoln. But deep down he still doesn't like his uncle Lance.

Lance smiles from this and hugs them all, and then Vark joins in. Loona and the others are touched seeing this and they snap some photos, and Velvette takes the photo she took, and she sees the photo album of Shelby and she places the photo on it. "Now that one is a keeps, and a first for Shelby."

"To be continued folks!"
