President Woodrow Wilson gives the Rusherz a opportunity they never thought they would get.


Making holly jolly plans

Everyone was buzzing! The big night was tomorrow, and the next day was the big day. Everyone was rushing for final holiday preparations as the clock was ticking. All running to and from stores as they made their final check list for the big holiday.

.

December 23, 1920; White House...

The White House was no exception as the grandchildren laughed and smiles under Spot, Swoop and Grizzly's eyes.

Grizzly: Mind if I'm asking if you kids are making last minute wishes?

Francis Jr.: *shakes head* This is thanking Santa for visiting us while Grandpa was living here at the White House.

Swoop: *warm smile* That's very nice to thank him.

Eleanor: *to Spot* Did you ask him anything thing for the Holidays?

Spot gave a cheery smile to them.

Spot: I didn't need to, I got what I wanted when the first of the month came.

Ellen: *awe* REALLY?! You manage to get you present that soon?

Spot: *chuckles* Not a present, just-having everyone I love together again. I got my family all here under one roof.

That got them confused.

Mary: Spot...where are your mommy and daddy then?

Grizzly and Swoop froze in fear hearing the bombshell question, Spot however just smiled warmly.

Spot: Well, my mommy and daddy live in the stars. They gave me to the others before they left for there and they became my brothers. They all took care of me, love me with all their hearts and protected me as a child, If not for them-I don't ever want to think what i do without them. Family doesn't mean you have to be related by blood.

Children: *understanding* Ohhh.

Both sighed in relief at Spot's fast response, but at the same time-their hearts broke a bit hearing his answer.

.

.

Liberty: Oh man. Thank goodness for that quick action.

Swoop and Grizzly had told the others about what had happened when Spot was asleep next to the fireplace.

Swoop: Yeah but-I can't help but feel, off about that.

Stampede: To be honest we all are too. I-I don't know why.

Stampede: My guess is this-we had no idea he felt like that with us. He's the only family he knows.

Freefall: And the pit in our stomachs hearing it...I have a horrible feeling regarding this information.

Liberty:-It's because if he was at the hospital when he got hypothermia, we might not have been able to visit him.

A cold chill and worry was felt in the room around them.

Cyclops: W-What do we do it one of us are stuck in the hospital and we can't visit or stay the night?

Talon: I-I really don't want to not see you if I'm admitted.

Chief: T-The only person who could see me would by Arrow-Head...But I want you guys to stay with us too.

Arrow-Head: -sighs- Chief's right, it would be better if you all could stay.

Soar: But-what do we do?

Edith Wilson: *comes in* Excuse me, gentlemen?

They turned to see Edith at the doorway.

Stampede: Yes, is everything alright?

Edith Wilson: My husband wants to talk with you, but Spot must be kept out of the loop.

That got them worried their.

Edith Wilson: *gentle smile* Don't worry it's nothing serious. *sees Spot sleeping* I'll keep an eye on him while you all talk.

.

.

Knocks.

Freefall's voice: Woodrow, it's us.

Woodrow looked up from his deck nodding.

President Woodrow Wilson: *smiles* Come in boys.

The door opened as they walked in, Steed closing the door behind him.

Steed: You wanted to speak to us?

President Woodrow Wilson: Yes. It assume the recent events have been bothering you all as of recently.

They froze, surprise that he knew of their plight.

Pick-Ax: *surprise* It's that noticeable?

President Woodrow Wilson: Very much so, and very concerning to all. It is understandable giving your situation and relationship with Spot.

Claw: Yeah...*worry* we just-what happened with Spot scared us to bits. We're all happy you wanted him back here but, we're worried if something like this happens again it's the hospital a-and we won't be able to stay cause we're not of blood relations.

Toro: And if we're not there, it'll be worry and stress to no end.

President Woodrow Wilson: *nods* Yes...i figure that was the case. Liberty, you have mentioned these worries back in January and the incident recently definitely escalated those fears.

The Rusherz looked downcasted, but agreed with the president.

Fang: What are we even going to do when that happens? Is there anything we can do at this point.

K-9: We're at a lost here Woody.

Woodrow Wilson got up and went over, cautiously going to his knees and holding a paper.

President Woodrow Wilson: I do beleive I have a solution for you all. Something that occurred to me when you all got back from your trip into town, and the perfect gift you can give him on the twenty fifth.

Blow-Torch: *unconvinced* And what is this grand plan of yours-

Woodrow gave them the paper-

...

They all froze in shock, even Blow-Torch's unconvinced attitude vanished when they all read the paper.

President Woodrow Wilson: So, Will this help?

Beast: *shock* I-I had no idea you all-that you could-

President Woodrow Wilson: *Smiles* I am the president at this moment, not done till January next year. It took some time and extra hours, but this was worth it. The owners and Mr. Carr gave their approval for this, all of us agreeing that this would be the perfect gift for you guys to Spot.

Blow-Torch:-Your not kiddin...your seriously not kidding.

Woodrow Wilson nodded, tears began to form in their eyes.

Pack: Why-Why are you doing this for us?

President Woodrow Wilson: Because you have become apart of our lives even if it's just been almost a full year. Not to mention, with this, this will be my last act as president. So I wish for my last act to help you all. You Rusherz are now apart of this planet, and you all are a brotherhood family. This-This is something I wish to give you all, to help you in the future even if I am not watching here.

They read over the paper again, wanting to make sure they read every single detail on it.

Claw: W-What now?

President Woodrow Wilson: Well I'll explain the details of this arrangement, then I will let-well, basically all the governors know on this since you all basically landed in our country. And not even by boat or plane.

That got them chuckling abit.

President Woodrow Wilson: Well then, shall we discuss.

Liberty looked around to the others, nodding.

Liberty: Alright, full details.

.

.

Edith giggled as Spot purred in his sleep, as she was scratching behind his ear.

Edith Wilson: Aww, seems I found your favorite scratch spot.

She warmly smiled, then her thoughts went to her husband and the other Rusherz.

Edith Wilson: I wonder how the meeting is going?

.

President Woodrow Wilson:- And this will allow you all to stay as long as you want, no matter who is in. I do believe I got everything.

-IT WAS HARD NOT TO CRY; The Rusherz were doing their all not to cry loud listening to the information.

President Woodrow Wilson: *worry* Are you all alright?

Lasso: *-sniffs- W-We're fine we're jus't...I can't believe this is happening. After all these years.

Woodrow Wilson smiled.

President Woodrow Wilson: I think it's time to make it official, not just with words and gestures. So, what do you think?

Blow-Torch took a raspy breath, he was the only one with his eyes pricked with tears. He stepped forward and looked at the president dead in the eyes.

Blow-Torch:-Where are the pens?

The others nodded as the president smiled warmly.

President Woodrow Wilson: Well, I also should get a frame for this then-.

All thirty one Rusherz: YES PLEASE!


So..what paper was it that the president offered the Rusherz ;)?
