"And we mustn't forget to look fabulous while doing it!" Fluttershy gently petted one of her animal friends. "I'm sure everything will be perfect. We just need to stay calm and work together."

"That was awesome Twilight!" Leo called out as Twilight smiled. As everyone chatted and laughed, Mikey and Pinkie Pie brought out trays of freshly baked cookies and cupcakes. "Time for some treats!" Mikey announced, handing out cookies shaped like Christmas trees and stars. Pinkie Pie bounced over with her tray of cupcakes. "And don't forget the cupcakes! They're extra special with holiday sprinkles." Later, everyone is getting for another Christmas night. "All right, guys. It's time to vote which Christmas movie should we watch?" Leo announced. Everyone gathered around, excited to choose the perfect Christmas movie. Mikey, with a mischievous grin, suggested, "How about 'Home Alone'? It's a classic!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down. "Ooh, I love that one! Kevin is so clever with all his traps!" Raph shrugged. "I'm up for some action. How about 'Die Hard'? It's technically a Christmas movie." April laughed. "Raph, you always want to watch 'Die Hard'." Donnie adjusted his glasses. "What about 'The Polar Express'? It's got a great message and amazing visuals." Fluttershy smiled softly. "I think 'The Polar Express' sounds wonderful." Rainbow Dash, ever the thrill-seeker, chimed in. "Or we could watch 'Elf'. It's hilarious!" Leo nodded. "All great choices. Let's take a vote." Everyone raised their hands for their favorite movie. After a quick count, it was clear that 'Home Alone 2' had won the majority. "Looks like 'Home Alone 2' it is!" Leo announced. Donnie pouts in the DVD and then clicks on the power button of the TV, but it didn't turn on. He pressed it again and again. Something wasn't right. "Uh, sorry guys, give a minute." Donnie nervously grinned. "Oh no, the wire is jammed!" He said. "Not again!" Leo exclaimed. "Sorry, everyone, but this might take a while to fix it." Donnie explained. "We don't have a while!" Donnie quickly got to work, trying to fix the jammed wire. "Oh no, the wire is jammed!" he said, his brow furrowing in concentration. "Not again!" Leo exclaimed, throwing his hands up in frustration. "Sorry, everyone, but this might take a while to fix," Donnie explained, his voice tinged with worry. "We don't have a while!" Mikey said, bouncing on his feet. "It's Christmas Eve! We need our movie magic!" Then everyone turned to Flash Sentry. "Why is everyone looking at me?" He asked. "Remember that story you told us last year?" Sunset replied. "Yeah?" "Any ideas for a new one?" Mikey asked. Then an idea popped in his head. "Oh yeah, you know I was about to do in the talent show. But why not now?" Everyone gather around for the story. "But this time, it's not gonna be in Gotham, it's gonna be in Smallville." "Huh?" "Just sit back and listen to this..." Now we move on to the story in Flash Sentry's version.... St. Gerald's Christmas PageantOur story begins in a big house on a winter night in Gotham, a huge family was rushing around the house because of a trip to Florida. Like before, there were two couples who were brothers and sisters in law. There were nine kids who were siblings and cousins. But there was one who was main one of all...young Flash Sentry. "Anyone seen my sun block?" Trixie asked. "What's the point of going to Florida if you’re gonna put on sun block?" Starlight teased. "I don't care if I age like an old suitcase, I'm getting toasted." Sunset groaned. "Great. Now you can be a skag with a slightly darker shade of skin." Snips joked. "He's jealous because he doesn’t tan. His freckles just connect." Sliver Spoon said. Tender Hooves walks by, drinking a can of soda. " Hey, hey, easy on the fluids!" Cranky said "The rubber sheets are packed." Meanwhile, Young Flash was in his parents' bedroom, watching a lottery host show on TV. "Honey, are you packed yet?" Celestia asked. "Yes." He answered with a tape recorder. "Everything I put out?" He answered the same question with the tape recorder. "Oh, did you see what your grandma sent you?" "Let me guess. Donald Duck slippers?" "Close. Inflatable clown to play with in the pool." "How exciting. Why Florida?" Flash asked sarcastically. "There's no Christmas trees in Florida. "What is it with Christmas trees? " Celestia asked. How can you have Christmas without a Christmas tree?" "We'll find a nice fake silver one. Or decorate a palm tree." Then Flash see's the world's greatest plaza hotel in Smallville on TV. Then Sombra comes in. "Where's the camcorder battery?" He asked. "I put it in the charger." Sombra knees down and accidentally unplugged both the charger and the plug for the clock, setting it back to twelve. "How does my tie look?" He asked. "Good." "Hey Flash, you better go put your tie on. We don't wanna be late for the Christmas pageant." "My tie is in the bathroom and I can't go in because Uncle Frank is taking a shower. He says that if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'd grow up never feeling like a real man." The couple stare at him. "Whatever that means." "I'm sure he was kidding." He chuckled. "Just, uh, run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at... Anything." He got up from the bed and quietly sneaks to the bathroom where Uncle Cranky was taking a shower. He hears him singing a song and decides to tape record the whole thing. "Get out of here, you nosy little pervert or I'm gonna slap you silly!" Cranky shout peaking through the curtain. Flash grabs his tie and dashes out. Later... [iChristmas tree My Christmas tree Lit up like a star When I see My Christmas tree Can loved ones be far Christmas tree, I'm certain Wherever I roam "Flash's solo's coming up. Tell Matila." Celestia whispered. "Flash's solo's coming up. Tell Cranky." Sombra whispered. "Okay. Cranky. Cranky!" "Christmastime means laughter, Toboggans in the snow, Caroling together, With faces aglow, Stockings on the mantel, A wreath on the door, And my merriest Christmas, Needs just one thing more Little did he know, Snips was playing a prank on him by swirling around the fake lighted candle around his head. Everyone was laughing, making Flash think that they were laughing at his sing. When he turned to realize it was Snips, he pushes him causing everyone falls in a heap. And the fake Christmas tree to fall onto the piano lady. "Flash!" The curtain closes on Flash. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'd like to apologize for whatever displeasure I might have caused you." Everyone was in the living room, Snips and Flash were forced to apologize to each other "My prank was immature and ill-timed." Snips said. "Immature or not, it was pretty gol-darn hilarious." Cranky snorked. "I’d also like apologize to my brother. Flash, I'm sorry." "Oh, Snips. That was very nice." Celestia smiled. Everyone clapped. "Flash, do you have something to say?" "Beat that, you little trout-sniffer." Snips whispered to Flash. But Flash wasn't in the kindhearted mood at all. " I'm not sorry. I did what I did because Snips humiliated me." Flash cried. "And since he gets away with everything, I let him have it. And since you’re all so stupid to believe his lies, I don't care if your Florida trip gets wrecked or not. Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway? "Flash." "You walk outta here, you sleep on the third floor." Sombra warned. "Yeah, with me." "So, What else is new?" "You better not wreck my trip you little sourpuss." Cranky said. "Your dad's paying good money for it." "Oh, wouldn't wanna spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate." Flash stormed off. "What a troubled young man." Flash is now up in the attic by himself. "They're all a bunch of jerks." He said. Celestia walked upstairs to talk to Flash. "Hi. Last time we tried to take a trip, we had a problem just like this." She said. "Yeah, with me getting crapped on. I don't care for your choice of words." "That's not what happened. Snips apologized to you." "Yeah, then he called me a trout-sniffer." "He didn't mean it. He was just sucking up to you. Okay, why don't you just sit up here and think things over? When you're ready to apologize to everyone, you can come down." "I'm not apologizing to Snips. I'd rather kiss a toilet seat!" "Then stay up here all night." "I don't want to go down anyway! I can't trust anybody in this family." He cried. "You know what? If I had my own money, I'd go on my own vacation. Alone, without any of you. And I'd have the most fun of my whole life." "You got your wish last year. Maybe you will this year. I hope so." Celestia said as she left Flash lies in bed feeling down and upset, he just wish he doesn't have be bullied or be punished. He just wanted to be alone again. Flash in SmallvilleOvernight, everyone was asleep. And the wind was blowing like a breezy winter night. Then a newspaper was onto the door, revealing a news report about Gotham's most dangerous criminals, Joker and Harley Quinn escaped from the Arkham Asylum during a riot. The next morning, the uber vans arrived and came up knocking on the door but hear nothing. They ring the doorbell, Celestia woke up realizing the same mistake. "SOMBRA!" "WE DID IT AGAIN!" They screamed. Everyone wakes up and runs around the house like speeding cheetahs trying to get ready...again! Everyone got outside. "Our family here, other family there." Celestia said while rushing. "I shouldn't complain, but you give the worst god darn wake-up calls." Cranky said. "Cranky! Do you have the tickets?" He handed them to her as they got in the van. "How many do you have?" "Seven." She gave each of them the same tickets. "This time, you were lucky to get on the same plane. eleven, twelve, thirteen. Where's Flash?" Flash appears to her as he grabs the ticket. "Fourteen." He said. "Good thing I have my own ticket, just in case you try to ditch me." They are ready to drive off. At the airport, everyone was rushing to get to the plane, while Flash was looking for something. "Dad! I need batteries." He said. "I'll give them to you on the plane." Sombra told him. "Why not now?" "Not now!" Everyone began rushing through the lobby of the airport, pushing through a few people. Flash was right behind his father, but everyone was going so fast that Flash was getting close to being separated. Flash stopped and added batteries to his tape recorder. "Dad, wait!!" He shouted. He ran as fast as he could to catch up with them. The crowd of people was getting him confused. Meanwhile, everyone else was racing through the hall and they finally made it to the gate. Everyone gave the tickets to the check-in agents. "Merry Christmas." The lady said. And they all gone aboard. Meanwhile, Flash was trying to catch up with someone who he thinks is his Dad. "Hey, wait up! Hey, guys, wait for me!" He shouted. At last, they finally reached the gate, but the wrong one. Flash ran so fast that he bumped into a lady agent that it made her dropped tickets. "I'm sorry." "That's okay. Are you on this flight?" She asked. "Yeah. My family's on the plane. I don't want to be left here." He responded as he helped her pick them up. "Do you have a boarding pass?" "Somewhere...." Then a guy comes in. "They're ready to go." "He dropped his pass." "This happened to me last year and almost wrecked my Christmas." Flash said. "You sure your family's onboard?" The guy asked. "My dad ran in right before I bumped into this lady." "Board him. Make sure he locates his family before you leave him." The guy ordered the lady. She escorted Flash into the plane. "Do you see your family?" She asked. Then Flash see's the guy who he thinks is his Dad. "There's my dad over there." He pointed. "Find an empty seat. Merry Christmas." "You too." He sat down next to a man, he reaches over to locate where the rest of his family is at. He couldn't see them, but he thought they were in a different area. "So have you ever been to Florida?" Flash asked the guy next to him. But the guy speaks French so he couldn't understand a word he is saying. So, he puts on his headset and listens to music "Welcome aboard American Airlines flight 176 non-stop to Smallville." Meanwhile, on the plane to Florida, Sombra was enjoying the flight while Celestia is staring off into space. "I didn't think we'd make it." He said, then turns to her wife. "Something wrong? Honey?" "I have that feeling. We forgot something?" Celestia answered. "No, I don't think we did, but I just have that feeling." "Just bad memories. We did everything, brought everything. We have everybody. There's nothing to worry about." "Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're right. We’re fine." Meanwhile, the plane to Smallville has landed. In the airport, Flash got out, but no sign of his family. "Mom? Dad? Uncle Cranky? Snips?" He turned to see the plane gate and as the final people go out, the gate door was then shut closed. "Where are those guys?" Flash wondered. Meanwhile, the rest of the family made it to Florida. They were given their suitcases and one of them belonged to Flash. "Give this to Flash." Sombra ordered. Each of them passed Flash's suitcase. "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." Finally, it was given to Tender Hooves. "Here you go, Flash." Then he notices two elderly people he's about to hand the bag over, so he passes the bag around to the others. "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "What?!" Celestia only reacts by laughing, until... "FLASH!" Meanwhile, at the other airport where Flash is. He looked out the windows seeing an enormous city. And he realizes he's not in Florida. So, he runs to a stand with an agent. "Excuse me, this is an emergency!" He said. "Yes, sir?" "What city is that?" He pointed. "That's Smallville." "Yikes, I did it again!" He freezes with a drop of his jaw. "Something wrong, sir?" "I'll be fine" Flash went to sit down on a waiting seat. "Oh, no. My family's in Florida and I'm in Smallville." Then he begins to smile. "My family's in Florida? I'm in...Smallville? Later, he is riding a taxi through the bridge to the city, next he looks around in the street and takes a picture of something, next he walks by a diner to see a man in a Santa costume walking in a stilt and gives Flash something. Next he walks out of a Chinese place and puts something in his bag. Then goes to a shore to see birds through a coin-operated binoculars. And finally he steps up into a tall building to the rooftop and takes pictures of the whole city. He was really enjoying the life; he never knew what hit him. The Plaza HotelIn an airport security office, Celestia and Sombra were explaining about their missing kid. "What's the child's name?" Security asked. "Flash." Celestia said. "F-L-A-S-H." "When did you see him last? Curbside check-in?" "No, I saw him at the door. He was with us in the terminal." Sombra explained. "Most people get separated at security. Did everyone get through security?" "I don't know. Sombra..."Celestia tried to say. "We were in a hurry. We ran all the way to the gate." Sombra said. "When did you notice he was missing?" "When we picked up our baggage here." "Has the boy ever run away from home?" "No." "Has he ever been in a situation on his own?" They denied it, but then remember the incident from last year. "As a matter of fact, this has happened before." Celestia spoke. " It's becoming a family travel tradition. Funnily enough, we never lose our luggage." The two couple laugh in stress, but the security officer wasn't. "He was left at home, by accident, last year." "That's what my wife meant calling it a family travel tradition." Sombra said. We'll call Gotham and... ...notify them of the situation. The odds are that's where he is." "Thank you." Meanwhile in Smallville, Flash was walking through an area where men were working with fish. He walks as a truck approaches him and stops. "Watch out, kid!" But in the trailer of the truck, Joker and Harley Quinn who have escaped from prison, have arrived in Smallville in a fish truck. "Here we are, Harley. Smallville, the Land of Opportunity." Joker says as he takes a deep breath. "Smell that?" "Yeah." Harley Quinn said. "Know what that is?" "Fish." "It's freedom." "No, it's fish." "It's freedom, and it's money." "Okay, okay, it's freedom." "Come on, let's get out of here before someone sees us." "And it's fish." They left and came up from a subway station. "Yes, one quick score. We get ourselves some phony passports...and we hightail it to some foreign country." Joker smiled. "Arizona?" Harley peeped. She then grabs a couple of pennies out of a charity bucket. "That's very smart, Harley. You bust out of the asylum to rob 14 cents from Santa Claus?" "Every bit helps." Harley said. "Besides, now we got our new nickname. We’re the Sticky Love." "Real cute. Very cute." Later, Flash was walking through the park. Then he sees a hotel building, but not just any hotel building. "The Plaza Hotel. Smallville's most exciting hotel experience." Then a cat speeds past him, and one comes to snuggle his foot. "Aw, you're cute." Flash beamed. "But where did you come from?" Then a few more cats pass by him, he didn't know if he was seeing a pack of cats. Until he turns to see a woman dressed in a black coat. Then the cats approach her and then she turns to face Flash. "Sick!" Flash turns and runs for his life. He ran as fast as he could and finally loses her. Then he walks on. Meanwhile, Joker and Harley Quinn were walking through the streets. Flash was walking in the same area as well. As it was time for them to cross the crosswalk, they approach through a crowd of people without noticing each other. Until, Flash bumps into Joker, not knowing it was him. Joker turns to see who bumped him, he couldn't tell it was Flash. "What's the matter, Mr. J?" Harley asked him. "Thought I saw something." Later, at the Hotel Plaza, Flash arrives and approaches the building. He goes inside and is amazed of the design of the hallway. The carpet, the Shindelar, the walls, and much more. "Excuse me, where's the lobby?" Flash asked a guy with glasses. "Down the hall and to the left." He answered. "Thanks." He then continues on to find the lobby. He then pulls out his tape recorder and listens to what he recorded on the TV back home. "Guests of Ding, Dang, Dong stay at the world-renowned Plaza Hotel: Smallville's most exciting hotel experience. For reservations, call toll-free, 1-800-759-3000." "I'll do just that." Flash begins to record his voice. "Howdy-do. This is Sombra. The father. I'd like a hotel room. With an extra-large bed, a TV...and one of those little refrigerators with a key. Credit card? You got it." Then he goes to a telephone booth and clicks on numbers. At a Plaza Reservation... "Plaza Reservations, may I help you?" Flash slow verbs the voice of the tape recorder. "Howdy-do. This is Sombra. The father." "Yes, sir." "I'd like a hotel room." "Yes." "With an extra-large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators with a key." "You'll need a major credit card." "Credit card? You got it." "Thank you. Enjoy your stay." He then walks up to a stand where a lady named Abacus Cinch was escorting people to their hotel rooms. "Hi." He said. "Can I help you?" "Reservation for me?" "A reservation for yourself?" "My feet are hardly touching the ground. I can barely see over the counter. How can I make a reservation for a room? Think about it: A kid going into a hotel making a reservation? I don't think so." "I'm confused." "I'm traveling with my dad. He's on business. He's at a meeting. I hate meetings. I'm not allowed to go in, only to sit in the lobby. That's boring. So my dad dropped me off." Flash pulled out a credit card. "Gave me his credit card and said to have check-in... ...let me in the room so I won't get into mischief. Ma’am, sometimes I do get into mischief. We all do." Meanwhile, at the Airport Security office, the officer got a phone call. "No sign of him." He said to the couple. "We'll need to be in touch. You have hotel rooms?" "Yes." "Do you have a recent photo of him?" Celestia was looking for a wallet in her pocket. "I don't have my wallet. My wallet's in my bag." Sombra said, and then he realized something. "Flash was looking in my bag at the airport. He has my wallet." "Did you have credit cards?" "Credit cards, money..." "We'll notify the credit card companies. If your son has the cards, we can get a location on him when he uses them." "I don't think he knows how to use a credit card." Celestia said. Meanwhile, Flash was getting checked in. "Wow! It worked!" On the other side of the lobby... "Ragamuffin." "Yes?" "Don't count your tips in public." A guy named Filthy Rich said. "And find out everything you can about that young fellow." "Front, please." The Cinch gives Flash the credit card. "Enjoy your stay with us." The guy see's Flash put the credit card in his bag. "Don't forget to remind your dad, when he arrives... ...he must come down and sign a couple of things." Cinch said. "Thank you, you've been helpful." Flash said. "May I take your bag?" The lobby manager was suspicious about him. Meanwhile, Ragamuffin was leading Flash to room 411 which was his stay. "This is one of our finest suites, sir." He said. "This is great!" Flash beamed. He then see's a huge bed. "Wow! A huge bed just for me!" He then finds the bathroom with a huge tub. "Luxurious and spacious." He then enters a cabinet with snacks, candy and cookies. "How convenient." Ragamuffin look in his bag and see's Sombra's name tag. Flash turns to him. "Hey!" "Did you want the key in the bag? Or did you want to hang on to it?" He asked. "I'll hang on to it." Flash answered as he snatched the bag and key. "Everything all right?" "Is the temperature, okay?" Flash asked. "It's okay. Do you know how the TV works?" "I'm 10 years old. TV's my life." "Well..." "I'm sorry." Flash handed him a stick of gum instead of cash. "And there's plenty more where that came from." Later, at the pool, Flash was wearing big flip-flops and big swim trunks. He was ready to go for a dive and turned to see adults and elders looking at him. "Would you mind if I worked on my cannonballs?" He said. They just shrugged. "Thanks." He backed up and then went in for a dive. And of course...he lost his swim trunks. Later in the hotel room, Flash was watching the sequel of the R-rated movie he watched last year. While a room servicer was scooping him some ice cream. "This is a vacation." "Two scoops, sir?" "Two? Make it three, I'm not driving." Hold it right there! It's me, Johnny. I knew it was you. I could smell you getting off the elevator. It's Gardenias, Johnny, your favorite. You was here last night too, wasn't you? I was singing at the Blue Monkey last night. "She was not. She was smooching your brother." You was here, and you was smooching with my brother. That’s a dirty lie. Don't give me that. You been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff… I could go on forever, baby. You have me all wrong! All right. I believe you. But my Tommy gun don't! Johnny! You’re the only duck in my pond! Get down on your knees and tell me you love me. Baby! I'm over the moon for you! You gotta do better than that! If my love was an ocean, Lindy’d have to take two planes to get across it Maybe I’m off my hinges, but I believe you. That’s why I'm gonna let you go. I’m gonna give you till the count of three, to get your lousy… … lying… … lowdown, four-flushing carcass out my door! "She’s rat bait." One! Two! Then he starts shooting and laughing. Three! Merry Christmas, you filthy animal. And a Happy New Year. Flash was covering his eyes. While the Christmas lights were going on outside the buildings, Filthy Rich was going to check Flash's room. When Flash heard the knock on the door, he turned of the TV and ran into the bathroom. As the manager finally got in, Flash turned on the shower. He heard music coming from the bathroom and creeped right in and sees a guy in the shower curtain. But in reality, it was just an inflatable clown being controlled with strings by Flash. And using his tape recorder with Cranky's recording. Then he turned it to face him. "Get out of here, you nosy little pervert, or I'll slap you silly!" That startled Filthy as he speeded out and hits his knee on a small table. Meanwhile, the whole rest of Flash's family were heading to a motel in Florida in the middle of the rain. "Didn't look this bad on our honeymoon." Meanwhile, at the Plaza. Flash was searching in the bag and finds a phone number journal. He then see's his other uncle's number. "Uncle Mac lives here." He said. "If they're back from Paris, I'll drop in on them. They usually give pretty good presents." Then, Flash finds and looks at his family picture. He then gets up and looks out the window viewing the city. he begins to miss his family and his Mom. Celestia misses Flash as well. "Good night, Mom." "Good night, Flash." Author's Note Trivia: .The creepy lady who Flash encountered with was none other than...Selina Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman .And the guy with the glasses who gave Flash directions to the lobby was none other than...Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman Grand Pear's Toy StoreThe next morning, Ragamuffin knocked on the door to give Flash some drawers. "Your drawers, sir." "Jeez! Don't flash these babies around here!" Flash said. "There could be girls on this floor." "I was very careful, sir." "You can't be too careful with underwear." "I understand." " I'm sorry. You wanted a tip." Ragamuffin still had the gum that Flash gave was still in his mouth. "That won't be necessary, sir. I still have some tip left over." He said. That was when he realized it was real money that Flash pulled out. "No tip? Okay." "No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Then he closed the door on him. Later down the lobby, Flash got to Filthy Riches stand. "Mr. Sentry." Filthy Rich raced to him. "And how are we this morning?" He asked. "Fine. Is my transportation here?" Flash asked. "Out in front, sir. A limousine and a pizza. Compliments of the Plaza Hotel." Then he remembers the incident last night. "I do hope your father understands that last night...I was simply checking to see that everything was in order." He said. "Oh, he was pretty mad. He said he didn't come here to have his naked rear spied on." "Of course not. Will he be down soon?" "He already left." "I would’ve liked to have offered my personal apology." "If a guy saw you in the shower, would you want to see him? I suppose not. I don't think you'll see him again." Then he left. "Have a lovely day." He waved. But he was still suspicious of him. He went back to his desk to look at the guest file cards to see his father's name on it. "Sentry..." He dialed the credit card verification device while it processed. Meanwhile, Flash was outside to see his limousine and pizza waiting for him. "Morning. Mr. Sentry, here's your very own...cheese pizza." In the limousine, he was eating his own pizza and drinking soda from a glass while watching a Christmas cartoon on a small screen. He pushed the divider button to open the window of the driver, then picks up a phone. "Hello?" "Hello." "Know any good toy stores?" "Yes, sir." Meanwhile, Filthy Rich was looking at his credit card device and found out that the credit card was stolen. "Bingo." Meanwhile at a skating rink, Joker (in disguise) was looking at a newspaper, while Harley was ice skiing. "Hey, Harley! Get over here! I gotta talk to you! " He called for her. Harley raced over to where he was. "Would you like my scarf?" She said. "Forget about that, we gotta talk." He showed her the newspaper. "We don't have the equipment to pull off anything big: Banjs, jewelry stores..." He explained. "We don't want goods. We need cash and we need it now." Harley secretly grabs a kids stringed mitten. "How about...hotels?" She suggested. "Tourists carry lots of cash." "I got a better idea. Stores ain’t depositing cash on Christmas Eve. The stores that will have cash are the ones dealing in moderate priced goods." "Ergo, what store's gonna make the most cash on Christmas Eve...that nobody's gonna rob?" "Candy Stores?" Harley asked. "Nine-year-olds rob candy stores. This is what I had in mind..." He showed her the picture a logo of a toy store. That's brilliant, Puddin! Brilliant!" Harley smiled. "Nobody's dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve." Joker said. "Oh, yes, there is. You and me." They both laughed. Meanwhile, the limousine arrived at a giant toy store. "Here we are, sir. Grand Pear's Toy Chest." Flash got out of the ride to see the sign. Inside, he looked around the store and it had everything. Auto controlled trains, big stuffed animals, and lots, lots more. "This is the greatest accident of my life." Flash gasped. Meanwhile, Joker and Harley Quinn were hiding in little houses. "Harley! Harley!" "Hey, nice house. But there's no bathroom in it." Harley said. "So, what's the plan?" Everyone leaves for a holiday off. We come out of our houses." Joker explained. "Yeah, then what?" "We empty the registers and walk out." "Great plan, Puddin!" At the register stand, Grand Pear was cashing checks for toys, then Flash came up for a toy to buy. "You shopping alone?" He asked. "In Smallville? Sir, I'm afraid of my own shadow." Flash answered. "I was just checking. That's very responsible of you. That’ll be $23.75." Flash takes out an envelope for the money. "My, my, my. Where did you get all that money?" Mr. Pear asked. "I have a lot of grandmothers." "Oh. Well, that explains it" "This is a nice store. One of the finer toy dealerships I’ve visited." "Well, thank you." "Grand Pear must be a nice guy, letting kids come in here and play with his toys. Most toy stores prohibit that." Flash said. "Is that so?" Grand Pear said as he explained something. "Well, he loves kids. As a matter of fact, all the money the store takes in today, Mr. Pear is donating to the Children's Hospital. And the day after Christmas, we empty out all the money in the cash register, and Mr. Pear takes it right down to the hospital." "That's generous of him." Flash said. "Well, children bring him a lot of joy... ...as they do to everyone who appreciates them." Flash then pulled out a $20 from the envelope. "I'm not supposed to spend this, but I have $20 in a jar in our garage, where my brother can't find it." He said. "So I can pay my mother back. So, give this to Mr. Pear. The hospital needs it more than I do. Besides, I'll probably spend it on stuff that will rot my teeth and mind." "Ah, that's... That's very sweet of you." Mr. Pear smiled. "You see that tree there?" He pointed to the tree next to him. "Well, to show our appreciation for your generosity, I'll let you select an object from that tree to take home with you." "For free?" "May I make a suggestion?" He takes a turtle dove ornament from the tree. "Take the turtledoves." "I can have two?" "Well, “two turtledoves.” And I tell you what you do. You keep one and give the other one to a very special person. You see, turtledoves are a symbol of friendship and love. Now, as long as each of you have your turtledove you'll be friends forever. "Wow, I never knew that." Flash said. "I thought they were just part of a song." "They are. And for that very special reason." Mr. Pear said as he waved to him. "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas to you too. Be sure to bundle up if you go outside. It's nippy." As he was leaving, he see's painting frame that has the painting of none other than...Grand Pear! Then he turns around to where he is and see's that he's not there anymore. Outside, Flash leaves the store and looks at his map. Then Joker and Harley Quinn exit the store too. "Well, where to?" "You promised you'd take me to the Smallville Zoo." Then Joker notices Flash and then see's this name "F. Sentry" on his backpack. "Hey, look who it is." Joker said to Harley. "It's the kid from last year." Harley gasped. "Come on, let's get him." They quietly sneaked behind him. Flash was looking at his map, until a shadow shaded it. "Hiya, pal!" Flash drops his map and looks up behind him. As Harley puts her hand out to snatch him....Flash screams! He runs as fast as he could to escape them, while Joker and Harley chase after him. They raced through trafficked cars, they run through the streets. A black guy was selling jewelry "Buy now and avoid the Christmas rush. Two for $5. Two for $5. Four for 10." Flash quickly buys a pearl necklace. "There he is!" Flash dashes off while Joker and Harley were catching up to him. Flash starts breaking the necklace and as they got closer, he shattered the necklace as the pearls came tumbling on the ground. As the two Jokesters caught up, they slipped on the pearls and fell to the ground. Flash finally reached the hotel, but it wasn't a very helping welcome. "Help! There's two guys after me!" Flash told Filthy Rich. "What's the matter? Store wouldn't take your....stolen credit card?" He exclaimed. "Let's see what the police have to say about this." Now Flash in even more trouble. He speed pass him as he tried to grab him, Filthy Rich chased after him. Joker and Harley got up to see Flash enter the hotel. "Come on! Let's go get him." Inside the hotel, Filthy Rich was chasing after Flash. "Get back here, you little thief!" He shouted. He was headed straight towards Ragamuffin. "Stop that child!" Ragamuffin tried to snatch him, but he was to quick. Now he was headed towards Cinch. "Grab him!" Cinch opened her arms to grab him, but Flash slides under her legs to the elevator. Then they all fall onto Cinch. The elevator closed. "I’ve committed credit card fraud." Flash gasped. "Get me security! We’ve got to stop that delinquent!" But Ragamuffin was still on the floor. "Come along, Ragamuffin!" On the other floor, Flash hurries to his hotel room and gathered a few things. "I’ve had enough of this vacation. I'm going home." He told himself. Flash scrambles back to his room after being unmasked for credit card fraud, with Filthy Rich and the hotel staff in hot pursuit. He plays back Angels with Even Filthier Souls on the VHS. "Hold it right there!" Filthy Rich and the crew stop as Flash forwards to the right sections and mutes the woman in the dialogue. "This is the Concierge, sir. "He said, not knowing it's the TV. "I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! You was here last night too, wasn't ya? "Yes, sir. I was." "You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother." The other hotel staff start giving Filthy odd looks. "But... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir." He said. "Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff... The security guard gasps: the other hotel staff, including Filthy rich, look at him in shock. "No. It's a lie!" "I could go on forever, baby! "I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man." "All right. I believe you. But my Tommy gun don't!" Filthy gives a confused look. "Get down on your knees and tell me you love me." The entire staff gets down on their knees. "I love you!" He said. "Ya gotta do better than that!." "I love you!" They all said. "Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let ya go. I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of 3 to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! 1... 2...! The TV of the guy fires his gun wildly, cackling, as the hotel staff dive for cover. While Flash escapes and mouths the words. "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! And a Happy New Year." As the staff crawls out; to the onlooking patrons, they see guest who heard the noise. "Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!" Filthy Rich warned the guests. Flash was running downstairs to the loading dock. But when he get out, he jumps and see's Joker and Harley Quinn in front of him. And then they catch him. "Come to Papa!" Joker smiled. "Round trip to Miami? What's the matter, kid? Get on the wrong plane, squirt?" Harley laughed. Joker takes Flash's ticket and rips it. "Looks like you won't be needin' this, kid." He said. "American don't fly to the promised land, little buddy." They grab him and dragged all the way from the alley. "We spent 9 months in the Asylum thinking we had the worst luck in the universe. We were wrong. We busted out and we’re doing fine." "Even better...because we’re not robbing houses, we’re robbing toy stores." Harley said. "At midnight tonight, we'll hit Duncan's Toy Chest. Five floors of cash. Then after that, we grab some phony passports and go to Rio." "Harley, you want to shut up?" Joker told her. "He's not gonna talk to anybody. Except maybe a fish. Or the undertaker. Let's go to the subway tunnel. I'll feel better once I get him on ice." In the park... " I’ve got a gun. Say anything and you'll be spitting gum out through your forehead." Joker warned Flash. Then Flash see's a lady and then had an idea. He touch the lady's leg to have to turn to the Joker. He only grinned. And then She punched him. "She did it." Flash pointed to Harley. She punches her too. "Thanks." He runs off, as Joker and Harley got up. "He went in the park." Harley said as they run after him. Flash as fast as he could, he paused to look for a getaway. The see's a horse-drawn carriage and runs over there and got on. Joker and Harley caught up but couldn't see him. Then they see a group of kids and thinks he's in there. They run over and yank each kids hat off to see if it's him. But none of them are him. "We should’ve shot him when I had the chance. I hate pulling a job, knowing that creep's loose." Joker groaned. "What can he do? Kids are helpless." Harley said to him. "Not this kid." "But this time he doesn't have a house full of dangerous goodies. He's in the park. He's alone. Kids are scared of the park." "Yeah. Grown gangsters come in the park and don't leave alive. Good luck, little fella." As the two duos leave, Flash is sad while hiding in the carriage. "I want to go home. Mom, where are you?" Selina KyleIn Florida, the family was all together inside a motel room watching a vintage movie. Until the phone rang. "Turn that down!" Celestia ordered as she picked up the phone. "Hello?" As Celestia was listening, she was astonished that they figured out where Flash is. "They know where Flash is." "Where?" "He's in Smallville." "Smallville?" Everyone yelped. "Where Superman lives?" Snips asked. "Yes!" Celestia continued on the phone. "He's scared; he's not a troublemaker." She said on the phone. "He used your credit card to check into the Plaza Hotel." "Do they have him?" Sombra asked. "Is he there? No, they're still looking. We’re on the next flight out. Thanks." Celestia is informed by airport security that Flash is on the run in Smallville. "We're going to Smallville, move it!" She ordered. The others shout approval; everybody scrambles to pack. "He ran away from the hotel when they questioned him about the card. He must be so scared, Sombra." Celestia said in worry. "I wonder if he'd know enough to go to my brother's place." Sombra said. "Aren't they in Paris?" "Maybe they have a house sitter." "I thought you said they were renovating." Meanwhile in Smallville, Flash was looking for his Uncle Mac's house. He looked at the booklet and see's his address, which was right in front of him. As he walks right in... "Hello?! Uncle Mac! Aunt Sugar Belle!" He called. He looked around to see that the house was completely empty and abandoned. "Anybody home?! Hello! Anybody home? It's me, your favorite nephew, Flash! Uncle Mac! Aunt Sugar Belle!" Now Flash didn't know what to do now. So, he walked around the streets with creepy people. He walks pass and bumps into them. "Watch it, kid!" "You looking for someone to read you a bedtime story?" Then he sees a taxi drive by. "Taxi!" He raced into the car. "Boy, It's scary out there." He breathed. Then the driver with a scared face turns his head towards him. "Ain’t much better in here." Flash rushes out of the car and runs into the park. "I don't ever want to take a vacation like this again." He told himself. He pulled out a packaged cookie, unwrapped it, and munched into it. "Meow!" He turns to see a cat standing on the rock he was sitting by. he decided to feed it to it. Then more came. "Where did you come from?" Flash wondered. " I don't have enough for everybody. How hungry are you guys? You guys ate all my food. Suddenly came the same woman who he saw at the park yesterday. Flash screamed, as he tried to get away, he noticed his leg was caught. He tried to pull it out as she got closer and closer, but then she took his foot and pulled it right out. Then Flash ran off. But then he stopped. He turned around and goes back. "Look, I'm sorry I screamed in your face. You were trying to help me, right?" He said to her. "I'm Flash Sentry. Your cats are real nice. I’ve seen you before. You had cats all over you. At first, you look scary, but when I think about it, it's not so bad. They must like you to be all over you." Still, she stayed silent. "If I'm bothering you, I can leave. Am I bothering you?" Flash asked. "No." She finally said. "Good. I'm not a pain in the butt?" "No." "Will the cats come back on their own or do you call them?" Then she comes to Flash. "Give me your hand." She said as he puts crumbs in his hand. Then he spills it on the ground. Then the cats come like a group of pigeons and ate them off the ground. "This is great!" Flash said. " It's pretty cold out. I'd sure like a cup of hot chocolate. How about you? My treat. I'd hate to spend Christmas Eve in such a park. Can we go someplace warm?" "Yes. I know a place." She said. "Wait, I don't even know your name." "I'm Selina...Selina Kyle." At an orchestra rehearsal, Flash and Selina were watching from the balcony area. "Nice music. This place is great." Flash said. "I’ve heard the world's great music from here." Selina said. "Ella Fitzgerald. Count Masie. Frank Sinatra. Luciano Pavarotti." "Do you bring your friends here?" Flash asked. "I haven't got many friends. I'm like the cats I care for." Selina explained. "Back in Gotham, people pass me in the street. They see me but they try to ignore me. They prefer I wasn't in their city." "Wait, you're from Gotham? What are you doing here in Smallville?" "Oh, I thought I'd take a little vacation from...it's hard to explain." She didn't want to reveal who she truly is. "It's like that with my family. I'm like the pigeon of the house, just because I'm the youngest." "Everyone fights for position. Everyone wants to be seen and heard." "I guess so. I'm seen and heard pretty much. But I get sent to my room a lot too. I wasn't always like this. What were you like before?" "I had a job. I had a home. – I had a family." "Any kids?" Flash asked. "No. I wanted them." Selina answered. "But the man I loved....we had differences. I could've married him but...we all had differences. And sometimes differences don't match up with a relationship. So, we broke up. That broke my heart. When the chance to be loved came along again...I ran away from it. I stopped trusting people." "No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do." "I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. Sometimes you can trust a person....and then, when things are down, they forget about you." "Maybe they're just too busy. Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you." Flash told her. People don't mean to forget. My grandfather says...if my head wasn't screwed on, I'd leave it on the school bus." "I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken." "I understand. I had a nice pair of Rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box." "Do you know what happened?" "I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times." "A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates." Selina giggled. "They're kind of the same thing." "If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my Rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose." "Little truth in there somewhere." Selina said. "I think so. Your heart might still be broken, but it isn't gone. If it was gone, you wouldn't be so nice." "Thank you. Do you know it's been... ...a couple of weeks since I’ve talked to anybody?" "That's okay. You're good at it." Flash smiled. " You're not boring. You don't mumble or spit. You should do it more often. Just wear an outfit with no cat poop on it." They both laugh. "I have been working very hard at keeping people away. I always think I'll have a lot of fun if I'm alone, but when I'm alone, it's not fun." Selina said. "I don't care how much people bug me; I'd rather be with someone than alone." Flash replied. "So, what are you doing running around the streets alone on Christmas Eve?" Selina asked. "Did you get into trouble?" "Yeah." "You did something wrong?" "A lot of things." "Did you know that a good deed erases a bad deed?" "It's late. I don't know if I'll have enough time to do enough good deeds to erase all my bad ones." "It's Christmas Eve. Good deeds count extra tonight." Selina replied. "They do?" "Of course they do. Think of an important thing you can do for others and go do it. Just follow the star in your heart." "Okay. It's getting pretty late. I'd better get going. If I don't see you, I hope everything turns out okay." "Thank you." "Tell the Cats I said goodbye." "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "If you need somebody to trust, it can be me. I won't forget to remember you." Flash told Selina. "Don't make promises you can't keep." She reminded him. As Flash left, Selina went over and opened her box, revealing a latex suit with a cat mask. Meanwhile, Flash was walking down the streets, hearing the Christmas carols playing. Then he looks up at a kid who is looking out the window giving a sign language saying "Merry Christmas". Then he remembered something... "All the money in the registers Mr. Pear is gonna donate to the Children ‘s Hospital." "At midnight tonight, we’re hitting Duncan ‘s Toy Chest." "You can mess with a lot of things, but you can't mess with kids on Christmas." Flash said to himself. Then he ran all the way back to his Uncle's abandoned house for a plan. Author's Note Trivia: .Selina a.k.a Catwoman was mentioned a part from "Batman: Hush" where Batman and her had a difference of wanting Hush dead. Operation Ho Ho HoFlash ran all the way back to his uncle's abandoned house. He goes into a laundry chute all the way back inside. Inside, he rolled a paper of the boody traps he will set up for the Joker and Harley Quinn. He takes a blowtorch and a nail gun out of a toolchest. He squirted the green slime that he bought from the toy store all over the floor. He took jumper cables and connected them to the sink. He squirted slime onto the paint roller and spread it onto the ladder of the fire escape. Outside he piled up paint cans. He poured gasoline into the empty toilet. He sawed the wooden ladder. He led down a rope all the way down to the last floor. And he coated another rope kerosene. He takes wood that was a floor and reveals a hole. Meanwhile at the Plaza Hotel, Celestia and the rest of the family were in the lobby. "We'd like to offer you a complimentary suite." Filthy Rich told them. "It's a penthouse with a view of the park. I think you'll find it satisfactory. It was recently vacated by a countess." "What kind of hotel lets a child check in alone?" Celestia said, feeling pounded. "The boy had a very convincing story." Cinch told her. "What kind of idiots work here?" "The finest in New York." "When you learned the credit card was stolen..." Sombra tried to say. "I made the discovery." Filthy told him. "Why did you let him leave?" "When we confronted him, and he ran!" "You scared him! It's Christmas Eve, and because of you, our child is lost in a huge city." Celestia exclaimed. "Could you take our family and luggage up to the room." Sombra asked. "Yes, Sir." "I'll go to the police station to make sure they're looking for Flash. I want you to stay here..." "I'm going to look for him." Celestia interrupted. "With all due respect, your son is lost in one of the world's biggest cities." Filthy Rich said. "Could you stay out of this?" Sombra shutted him up. "It's not a good idea to run around New York City alone." "If Flash can, so can I." Celestia told him. "Celestia..." "I'll be fine. The way I feel, no mugger or murderer would mess with me." "Madam." Filthy Rich continued. "There are hundreds of armed parasites out there!" Celestia slaps him. "Do bundle up. It's awfully cold outside." Meanwhile, at Grand Pears Toy Store, it was closing time, and the lights were off. Joker popped out of his little toy house. "Harley, Harley, come on, let's go." Joker whispered. The two jokesters moved down the stairs, to the area where the cash register is at. "Crowbars up!" They both clink each other's crowbar. They both dig into both the cash register and the chest where the money for the Children's Hospital. Outside, Flash was walking by, holding a long wooden board and a paint can. He puts them down and looks through the glass window and see's Joker and Harley robbing the store. "This is more money than I can even count!" Harley laughed. "It makes you wonder why we spent so much time robbing homes or banks or try killing Batman." Then Flash places the wooden board on the paint can. Then he comes to knock on the glass and Joker and Harkey see him. "He's back!" Joker exclaimed. Then Flash snaps a picture with a camera. "He took our picture!" "How was my hair?" He pulls out a brick out of his bag with a letter to Mr. Pear. "This is it. No turning back. Another Christmas in the trenches." He told himself as he began to throw the brick at the window. "NOOOOOO!" It went right through with a loud shatter. The alarm begins to ring. "That's it! Get the money! I'll kill him!" They begin to chase after him. As Joker landed outside through the window, he lands on the wood board, then notices something. "I'm coming, Puddin!" Harley called. "Harley, No!" Harley then lands on the other side of the wooden board, causing Joker to go flying up and crashes onto a car. Joker winces in pain. "Puddin, that was incredible!" As she helps Joker up... "Hey, guys! Smile!" Flash takes another picture of them as he runs off. Joker gets up and he and Harley run after him. Meanwhile, Celestia reaches the same apartment building Flash was at. She knocks on the door and tries to look at the window to see if someone was home. Then a taxi drives by. "Taxi!" She jumps right in and then takes off. Just then Flash returns just as they left and climbs into the chute. Joker and Harley Quinn were 8 feet far from him and where about to catch up as they got to the apartment building. "Where'd he go?" Harley wondered. "I'm up here! Come and get me!" Flash called all the way from the roof and takes one last picture. "Let's kill him!" "Hold on, darling. We got busted last time, because we underestimated that little bundle of misery." Joker reminded her. "This ain't like the last time. This ain't his house. The kid's running scared. He ain't got a plan." "May I do the thinking please? Sonny!" "Yes?" Flash called. "Nothing would thrill me more greatly than to shoot you." Joker called all the way down. "Knocking off a youngster ain't gonna mean all that much to me. Understand?" "Mm-hmm." "But since we're in a hurry, I'll make a deal with you: you throw down your camera and we won't hurt you. You'll never hear from us again. Okay?" "You promise?" "I cross my heart and hope to die." "Okay." Flash picks up a brick from a pile behind him. "Okay, kid. Give it to me!" Flash throws the brick all the way down to Harley, hitting her on the forehead. She falls in pain. "Direct hit!" Harley seemed conscious. "How many fingers am I holding up, Harley?" Joker asked. "Eight?" Harley replied, woozy. "Okay, kid. You want to throw bricks? Go ahead, throw another one." Flash picks up another brick and throws it down, hitting Harley again. "If you can't do any better than that, you're going to lose." Joker shouted back. Flash grabs another and throws it again at Harley. "You got any more?" It seemed like he's given up. "Get up, Harley. He don't have any more bricks, he's out of them." Joker said. Flash sneaks the last brick to them. Harley notices and mumbles to him. "What?" Harley mumbles even louder. "What?" Flash throws the brick and Joker turns and moves out of the way and hits Harley again. "That did it! Nobody throws bricks at me and gets away with it." Joker shouted and he instructs Harley. "Come on! You go this way. I'll go around back." Harley was still woozy. Flash ran back down to the first floor. Harley got up and stumble up the steps to the door. She grabbed the door handle and it broke off, seeing it connected to a rope. Harley pulls the rope even further, not knowing that the rope was connected to a nail gun. As Harley finally pulls the end of the rope.... "Yeow!" A nail shoots right in her butt. She painfully turns and another nail shoots right in her thigh. And then in her face. Meanwhile, Joker was marching all the way to the back. Then he see's a fire escape ladder (same one Flash covered with green slime.) and climbs up to a trash crate. He thought he would swing himself to the window. Joker leaped towards the ladder, grabs the bar where the slime was and then his hands slip and he lands onto the ground. Slime drips onto his forehead. Joker grunts. Meanwhile, Harley pulls a nail out of her face. She is angry and decides to kick down the door. And when she does, she is finally inside. "Puddin! I reached the top!" Harley called out. But then she stumbles and falls down into the hole Flash set up. As she is on the floor, she cracks her bones back into place and faints. Meanwhile, Joker is climbs up the stairs to the back door into the apartment. Inside, Flash was setting up another trap. Joker hears him at the door as he runs off. "You better do better than this, kid." Joker grunted as he kicked the door open. And when he did, a bag of hard tools unzips and the tools collapsed onto him. Meanwhile, Harley gets up and another snap to her back. "Wow! What a hole!" She spoke. She looks around and sees a rope leading up to the first floor. As she walks over to it, she steps into the slime and starts slipping. She slips into the slime and speeds all the way to shelf where the paint cans were at. She crashes into it, causing the shelf to fall into her, splatting paint all over her. Meanwhile, Joker gets up from the hit and turns on every lightbulb in the hallway. Harley Quinn now covered in paint, gets up and spits out the paint in her mouth. She goes to the sink to wash off the paint. But little did she know that it was connected to jumper cables. As she touched the hot and cold handles....she gets electrocuted. Flash turns the power the cable up. and then turns it off, leaving Harley toasted. Meanwhile, Joker was turning every lightbulb on. As he got to the one where the bathroom is, his head catches on fire. He couldn't even tell what light it was coming from, until he sees his head on fire in the mirror. he tries the sink, but no water. Then he turns to the toilet filled with gasoline and puts his head in it and then.....BOOM! Now Joker's face is black. Harley stumbles to the rope where it led to the floor, she yaks it to make sure it's not another trap. "Puddin, I'm coming up!" She called. As she grabs onto the rope, it collapses and show it's connected to a weighted powder bag and then falls onto Harley. Now Harley is covered in powder. "I'm gonna murder that kid!" She grunted and then sneezes. Harley made a pile for her to climb on to reach the hole to the top. When she climbed it, she reaches the top. But the pile collapses, but she still made it. Flash was sneaking pass Joker who is looking at himself in the mirror and runs to the wooden ladder, but Harley sees him. "Hey!" "Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?" Flash replied as he climb up. "Puddin! He's in the living room! He went up the ladder!" Harley called Joker. Joker marches towards Flash and climbs up the ladder. But the ladder snaps, sending Joker falling to the floor, face first. Harley climbs up to the floor to help him. "I'm coming, Puddin. I'm coming. Puddin!" Harley helps him up. "You didn't lose any teeth! Come on, he went to the second floor." "Hey!" Flash called. "Why don't you guys try the stairs." "Right. Thanks for the tip, kiddo." Harley grinned as heads to the stairs. But Joker stops her. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Remember what happened last year?" He reminded her. "No." "Watch this. Let's get him!" Joker stomps on the steps, pretending that he's coming up the stairs. Then Flash throws down a paint can sending it to Joker's direction, but misses. "Ow! He busted me right in my mouth, Harley!" Joker faked. "Now I remember!" Harley laughed. "That's one." "Don't worry, Puddin. I'll get him." Harley played along as Flash throws another paint can that misses Harley. "Ow! Right in the schnoz." She faked. "That's two. Come on, let's get him." They continue up the stairs, but Flash drops a pipe. "Oops." Joker and Harley get hit and then he fall all the way down the hole here Harley fell into. "That's...three." Flash cuts the rope which caused the pipe to fall down the stairs and into the hole. CRASH! "That's four." Flash runs off to escape, but Joker and Harley were already continuing the chase. "Harley, are you sure this is safe?" Joker asked. "I’ve worked all the kinks out. Solid as a rock." Harley replied. They climbed up the pile to reach the top, and then the pile falls down again. "Like a rock, huh?" "Hey! You guys give up?" Flash called. "Have you had enough pain?" "Never!" Flash runs up the stairs with a rope that's connected the doorknob and ties to a tool chest. Joker and Harley were rushing upstairs. "You better say every prayer you ever heard!" Joker grunted. "I hope your parents got you a tombstone for Christmas." Harley laughed. As they reached the top... "Where'd he go?" "I'm up here and I'm really scared." Joker pulls the doorknob which is connected to the rope and then the toolchest comes tumbling down the stairs. "What's that sound?" They reach closer to the door and hears the clattering and then...the toolchest comes crashing through the door sending Joker and Harley flying right to the wall. "That was the sound of a tool chest...falling down the stairs." Harley groans. Flash head to the roof and yanks the rope down all the way down the ground. Then he begins to climb down the rope. Joker and Harley finally reached the top. "Even if I get the chair, I'm killing that kid!" Joker said, angrily "Surrender, kid!" They made it outside, but Flash was already down the bottom. "I'm down here, you big horse's butt!" He called. They both looked down to where he is. "Nice night for a neck injury!" Harley grabs a brick. "Suck brick, kid!" Harley throws the brick down at him but misses. Joker has no choice for them but to go down the rope. "Come on, Harley." He said to Harley. Harley looked down and felt woozy. "Come on, you big sissy." Harley joins along as they go down the rope. But Harley smells something. "Puddin? You wearing aftershave?" She asked. "That's not aftershave, that's kerosene." Joker replied. "The rope is soaked in it." "Why would anyone soak a rope in kerosene?" Then they see Flash light up a match. "Merry Christmas." He said. Then he sets the rope on fire. "Go up!" They rush up the rope as they got closer to each other. And as the fire got closer, they both fall and right onto the board making the cans of paint and varnish fly in the air. Joker lands on the ground and Harley lands on top of him. "Get off me!" Then they see they paint and varnish rain in the air as it splashes all over them along with the cans. Now they are all covered in it. Flash was running far from them as possible. He reaches the telephone booth and dials 9-1-1. "Two guys who robbed Grand Pear's Toy Chest are in the park. Smallville Park West, 95th Street. Look for fireworks. Hurry, they got a gun." Joker and Harley Quinn got up and ran after him. "I'm down here. Better come and get me before I call the cops." He runs pass the crosswalk and into the park. But then, he slips on a spot of ice and falls. His view starts spinning around until...Joker and Harley finally caught up to him. "My, how the tables have turned." Harley evilly grinned. "How do you like the ice?" Joker laughed as he grabbed Flash. "Let's go for a little stroll in the park." They walk deep into the shadows of the park along with Flash. Finally, they found a private spot. Joker takes the bag and see's the photos that Flash took of them. "Great for the album." Joker teased. "You may’ve won the battle, dude, but you lost the war." Harley spoke closer to him. "You ought not of messed with us. We’re dangerous." Joker then pulls out his gun. Harley notices cats around the rocks. "Puddin." "Shut up." Then come more cats. "Mr. J." "Shut up! I want to enjoy this." "Something's wrong. Let's get out of here!" "Shut up!" Someone in a latex suit was sneaking behind them. "You know, I never made it to the 6th grade...and it doesn't look like you're gonna either." Joker smiled even scarier. Then they hear a loud whip crack in the air and turn to see that it came from none other than....Catwoman! "Let him go!" She spoke. "Catwoman? What's she doing in Smallville?" Harley asked herself. "Flash, run!" Flash dashed off, and Joker was trying to shoot her, but the gun was covered in varnish making it impossible to shoot. "Shoot her! Shoot her! Shoot her!" Harley demanded. "I'm trying!" Joker shouted. Then Catwoman tosses a bucket of cat litter all over them. A huge group of cats scrambled all over them and started climbing all over them and nibbling them. Catwoman blows a kiss and takes her leave. Flash gets out firecrackers, lights a match and lights up the fireworks and runs off. The fireworks exploded as the police showed up. The squad rushes to the area where it was coming from. At last, they see Joker and Harley Quinn on the ground. They grab the two jokesters and find the bag they have. They find the pictures that were taken by Flash and the tape where it had the recordings of what they said. "You two should’ve started earlier. The prisoners already exchanged gifts." The cop said. "We missed the presents? He made us hide in the store and steal the kiddies’ charity money." Harley ratted themselves out. "Shut up, Harley!" Joker hit her on the hip. " You've got the right to remain silent, ya know." "He's a little cranky. We just broke out of the Arkham Asylum a few days ago." "Shut up, Harley! Jeez!" "Get them out of here!" "We're gonna make sure you two get shipped off back to Arkham, where you belong." Another cop said. "Remember, If this makes the papers... ...we’re no longer the Crime Couple, we’re the Sticky Couple." Harley continued. Meanwhile, Mr. Pear inspects the Crime Couple' damage to his store. "Well, Mr. Pear, it's all over with. We apprehended the thieves and recovered your money." A cop told him. "Good. I want to get that money over to the Children's Hospital as soon as possible." Mr. Pear replied. An inspector walks up to him with a note. "Excuse me, Mr. Pear? I found this note. Looks like a kid broke your window." Mr. Pear looks at the note which was written by Flash. "Dear Mr. Pear, I broke your window to catch the bad guys. I'm sorry. Do you have insurance? If you don't, I'll send you some money, if I ever get back to Chicago. Merry Christmas, Flash Sentry. P.S.: Thanks for the turtle doves." Grand Pear smiled, he realized Flash was grateful for the Turtle Doves he gave him. "Turtle doves. Oh..." Another Christmas ReunionCelestia was running around the streets of the city, trying to ask if anyone saw Flash. Then she noticed a police car nearby, she went and knocked on the glass window as the officer rolled the window down. "I'm looking for my son. He's been missing for two days." Celestia told the officer. "Have you filed a report?" The cop asked. "Then trust us. We'll handle it." "Oh. I'm his mother." "I realize that ma'am, but you're looking for a needle in a haystack." "Do you have kids?" "Yes, ma'am." "And what would you do if one of them was missing?" "I'd probably be doing the same thing you're doing. Listen, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go?" "Me? I'd probably be lying dead in a gutter somewhere. Oh, but not Kevin. No. Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am. And I know Kevin's fine. I'm sure he is. But he's still all by himself in a big city, and he doesn't deserve that. He deserves to be at home, with his family, around his Christmas tree." Celestia paused and then realizes something. "Oh, my Gosh. I know where he is! I need to get to Rockefeller Center." She ordered. "Hop in." Meanwhile, Flash was looking a huge Christmas tree with lights that was feet far away from him. "I know I don't deserve a Christmas even if I did do a good deed." He said to the tree. " I don't want any presents. Instead, I want to take back every mean thing I ever said to my family...even if they don't do the same. I don't care. I love all of them. Including Snips. If I can't see all of them, could I just see my mother? I'll never want another thing, ever. I just want my mother. I know it won't be tonight...but promise me I can see her again. Sometime. Anytime. Even if it's just once and only for a few minutes. I need to tell her I'm sorry." "Flash?" He turns to see his mom. "Mom? That worked fast!" Celestia ran over to him and paused for a second. "Oh, Flash." "Mom, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry too." Then they smiled at each other and hug. "Merry Christmas, Mom." "Merry Christmas, sweetheart." It was another warming mother and son moment on Christmas Eve. "How’d you know I was here?" Flash asked. "I know you and Christmas trees, and this is the biggest." Celestia answered. "Where's everyone else?" "At the hotel. They didn't like palm trees either." Next morning, it was snowing and guys from Grand Pear's Toy Chest were emptying a truck full of gifts. In the hotel room, the whole family was sleeping. That was until Tender Hooves woke up and see's the light at the window. "Holy smokes, it's morning!" He said. "It's Christmas morning, man." "Tender, don't get your hopes up." Flash told him, awake. "Don't think Santa visits hotels." "Are you nuts? He's omnipresent. He goes everywhere." Tender leaps up. " Wake up, it's Christmas! Mom! Dad! It's Christmas!" He races around the room to tell everyone. Everyone raced up to upper room. As they made it to the top, they were shocked at what they see. It was not only a Christmas tree, but there were also a lot of presents, enough for the whole family. "Mom! Dad! You gotta see this!" Flash called. Celestia and Sombra came out to see the whole surprise. "Oh my gosh!" "Sombra!" All the kids raced to open their presents. Snips see's the tag of who and where the presents came from. "Who's Mr. Pear?" "Pear? I don't know." "Everybody, calm down. Calm down!" Snips announced as everyone paused. " Now...if Flash hadn't screwed up in the first place, again...we wouldn't be in this most perfect...and huge hotel room with all this free stuff. So...I think it only fair that Flash get to open the first gift. Then I'll go and the rest of you and so on. Merry Christmas, Flash." "Merry Christmas, Snips." "Merry Christmas, Flash." Everyone else said. "Enough gooey sh...Show of emotion. Everyone, let's dig in!" Everyone started opening their presents one by one. While Flash was opening his present, he looks at the Turtle Doves on the tree as ornaments. Then he had an idea. Outside, Selina Kyle was at the park with her cats. Flash was running through the park to right where she is. "Selina! Selina!" He called. "Flash! Merry Christmas!" She greeted. "I got something for you." Flash takes her hand and opens it to put one of the Turtle Doves in her hand. "What's this?" She asked. "It's a turtledove. I have one. You have one." He explained. "As long as we each have a turtledove, we'll be friends forever." "Oh, Flash. Thank you." Selina smiled. "I won't forget you. Trust me." They both hug. Back in the hotel, Ragamuffin came knocking on the door. Snips came to the door. "The room service bill, sir. Merry Christmas." Snips takes the bill as Ragamuffin was expecting a tip. And once again he gets gum. Snips see's how much Flash has spent on room service. "Merry Christmas indeed. Oh, Dad!" Outside.... "FLASH!!!!!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE?!?!?!" Flash hears it and runs off. It maybe another time of trouble, it is still another happy Christmas ending. Merry ChristmasAfter Flash finished his story, everyone cheered at his succussed story. "That was entertaining, my programming doesn't know anything about Christmas movies." Glamrock Freddy said. "You know, I thought this story was gonna be lame. But this is way greater than that." Monty Gator said. Everyone glared at him. "What?" "I think you've once again set another entertainment on Christmas." Leo grinned. Flash blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Thanks, guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it." Twilight Sparkle stepped forward, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Flash, that was amazing! You really have a talent for storytelling." "Yeah, you should do this more often," Sunset Shimmer added, giving him a thumbs-up. "Maybe we can make it a tradition," Mikey suggested, munching on a slice of pizza. "Flash's Christmas stories every year!" "Hey guys, I got the VCR working again!" Donnie announced. Everyone turned their attention to Donnie, who was holding up the now-functioning VCR with a triumphant grin. "Awesome! Now we can finish our movie night," Leo said with a grin. "Yeah, but don't you think we've had enough of Home Alone?" Mikey asked, munching on a slice of pizza. "Well, we can always watch a different movie," Twilight suggested, glancing at the collection of VHS tapes they had brought with them. But Pinkie shoves right in and pulls out another movie "Dibs on Elf." She shouted. Everyone laughed at Pinkie's enthusiasm. "Elf it is, then!" Leo said, popping the tape into the VCR. As the movie started, they all settled in, cozy and content, ready to enjoy another Christmas classic together. Later, Mikey was in his elf outfit and was sitting on the seat of a piano. He begins playing the keyboard.

How can it be Christmastime if we're not together? How can it be Christmastime if we're not together? Meanwhile, everyone was enjoying hot cocoa and giving each other presents (Even Cassie and Gregory). Even for the Glamrock animatronics, they gave their gifts to their human friends and they gave gifts to them. Chica opened hers. "Oh my gosh! A pair of Roxy ears!" She gasped. "Thank you, Sweetheart!" "No problem, Chica." Sweetheart replied. She picked out a second pair. They all tried them on. "Now we're Roxy twins!" Chica grinned. "Hey, Roxy!" Roxy turned to them. "We look just like you now. Isn't that great." Roxy began to suppress ao. She grabbed them and gave them a bear hug while waging her tail. "Never take them off!" She powdered. "You guys are so cute!" The two duos grinned. In a city where it was snowing on a lovely Christmas, a man in glasses was watching out the window. "Hey, Clark!" Called a woman named Lois. "Bruce just send a greeting card." He walks over to receive the card. He opens the card to see it was actually a picture of the Rainbooms, Turtles, and the rest of the team. Even the Glamrock Animatronics. In elf outfits, Santa Claus hats, and Clark was shocked, but then he smiled. "Bruce, you really did have strange and wonderful friends," he said, chuckling. Lois looked at the picture and laughed. "They certainly know how to spread holiday cheer." Clark placed the card on the mantle, next to their other Christmas decorations. "It's nice to know that even in different dimensions, the spirit of Christmas brings everyone together." Lois nodded, wrapping her arms around Clark. "Merry Christmas, Clark." "Merry Christmas, Lois," he replied, pulling her close as they watched the snow fall outside. It was a wonderful time of the year for joy, laughter, and togetherness. And there will always be another time to create more cherished memories. THE END Author's Note Trivia: .Mikey's song is "How can it be Christmas" by Johnny Orlando Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎅🤶🎄

It's all about being together." Meanwhile, the Rainbooms are getting ready for their own talent show. Rainbow Dash was tuning her guitar, making sure every string was perfect. "This is going to be awesome!" she exclaimed. "Don't get your hopes up just yet, Rainbow." Applejack replied Rarity adjusted her costume, adding a final touch of glitter. "And we mustn't forget to look fabulous while doing it!" Fluttershy gently petted one of her animal friends. "I'm sure everything will be perfect. We just need to stay calm and work together."

"That was awesome Twilight!" Leo called out as Twilight smiled. As everyone chatted and laughed, Mikey and Pinkie Pie brought out trays of freshly baked cookies and cupcakes. "Time for some treats!" Mikey announced, handing out cookies shaped like Christmas trees and stars. Pinkie Pie bounced over with her tray of cupcakes. "And don't forget the cupcakes! They're extra special with holiday sprinkles." Later, everyone is getting for another Christmas night. "All right, guys. It's time to vote which Christmas movie should we watch?" Leo announced. Everyone gathered around, excited to choose the perfect Christmas movie. Mikey, with a mischievous grin, suggested, "How about 'Home Alone'? It's a classic!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down. "Ooh, I love that one! Kevin is so clever with all his traps!" Raph shrugged. "I'm up for some action. How about 'Die Hard'? It's technically a Christmas movie." April laughed. "Raph, you always want to watch 'Die Hard'." Donnie adjusted his glasses. "What about 'The Polar Express'? It's got a great message and amazing visuals." Fluttershy smiled softly. "I think 'The Polar Express' sounds wonderful." Rainbow Dash, ever the thrill-seeker, chimed in. "Or we could watch 'Elf'. It's hilarious!" Leo nodded. "All great choices. Let's take a vote." Everyone raised their hands for their favorite movie. After a quick count, it was clear that 'Home Alone 2' had won the majority. "Looks like 'Home Alone 2' it is!" Leo announced. Donnie pouts in the DVD and then clicks on the power button of the TV, but it didn't turn on. He pressed it again and again. Something wasn't right. "Uh, sorry guys, give a minute." Donnie nervously grinned. "Oh no, the wire is jammed!" He said. "Not again!" Leo exclaimed. "Sorry, everyone, but this might take a while to fix it." Donnie explained. "We don't have a while!" Donnie quickly got to work, trying to fix the jammed wire. "Oh no, the wire is jammed!" he said, his brow furrowing in concentration. "Not again!" Leo exclaimed, throwing his hands up in frustration. "Sorry, everyone, but this might take a while to fix," Donnie explained, his voice tinged with worry. "We don't have a while!" Mikey said, bouncing on his feet. "It's Christmas Eve! We need our movie magic!" Then everyone turned to Flash Sentry. "Why is everyone looking at me?" He asked. "Remember that story you told us last year?" Sunset replied. "Yeah?" "Any ideas for a new one?" Mikey asked. Then an idea popped in his head. "Oh yeah, you know I was about to do in the talent show. But why not now?" Everyone gather around for the story. "But this time, it's not gonna be in Gotham, it's gonna be in Smallville." "Huh?" "Just sit back and listen to this..." Now we move on to the story in Flash Sentry's version....
St. Gerald's Christmas PageantOur story begins in a big house on a winter night in Gotham, a huge family was rushing around the house because of a trip to Florida. Like before, there were two couples who were brothers and sisters in law. There were nine kids who were siblings and cousins. But there was one who was main one of all...young Flash Sentry. "Anyone seen my sun block?" Trixie asked. "What's the point of going to Florida if you’re gonna put on sun block?" Starlight teased. "I don't care if I age like an old suitcase, I'm getting toasted." Sunset groaned. "Great. Now you can be a skag with a slightly darker shade of skin." Snips joked. "He's jealous because he doesn’t tan. His freckles just connect." Sliver Spoon said. Tender Hooves walks by, drinking a can of soda. " Hey, hey, easy on the fluids!" Cranky said "The rubber sheets are packed." Meanwhile, Young Flash was in his parents' bedroom, watching a lottery host show on TV. "Honey, are you packed yet?" Celestia asked. "Yes." He answered with a tape recorder. "Everything I put out?" He answered the same question with the tape recorder. "Oh, did you see what your grandma sent you?" "Let me guess. Donald Duck slippers?" "Close. Inflatable clown to play with in the pool." "How exciting. Why Florida?" Flash asked sarcastically. "There's no Christmas trees in Florida. "What is it with Christmas trees? " Celestia asked. How can you have Christmas without a Christmas tree?" "We'll find a nice fake silver one. Or decorate a palm tree." Then Flash see's the world's greatest plaza hotel in Smallville on TV. Then Sombra comes in. "Where's the camcorder battery?" He asked. "I put it in the charger." Sombra knees down and accidentally unplugged both the charger and the plug for the clock, setting it back to twelve. "How does my tie look?" He asked. "Good." "Hey Flash, you better go put your tie on. We don't wanna be late for the Christmas pageant." "My tie is in the bathroom and I can't go in because Uncle Frank is taking a shower. He says that if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'd grow up never feeling like a real man." The couple stare at him. "Whatever that means." "I'm sure he was kidding." He chuckled. "Just, uh, run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at... Anything." He got up from the bed and quietly sneaks to the bathroom where Uncle Cranky was taking a shower. He hears him singing a song and decides to tape record the whole thing. "Get out of here, you nosy little pervert or I'm gonna slap you silly!" Cranky shout peaking through the curtain. Flash grabs his tie and dashes out. Later... [iChristmas tree My Christmas tree Lit up like a star When I see My Christmas tree Can loved ones be far Christmas tree, I'm certain Wherever I roam "Flash's solo's coming up. Tell Matila." Celestia whispered. "Flash's solo's coming up. Tell Cranky." Sombra whispered. "Okay. Cranky. Cranky!" "Christmastime means laughter, Toboggans in the snow, Caroling together, With faces aglow, Stockings on the mantel, A wreath on the door, And my merriest Christmas, Needs just one thing more Little did he know, Snips was playing a prank on him by swirling around the fake lighted candle around his head. Everyone was laughing, making Flash think that they were laughing at his sing. When he turned to realize it was Snips, he pushes him causing everyone falls in a heap. And the fake Christmas tree to fall onto the piano lady. "Flash!" The curtain closes on Flash. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'd like to apologize for whatever displeasure I might have caused you." Everyone was in the living room, Snips and Flash were forced to apologize to each other "My prank was immature and ill-timed." Snips said. "Immature or not, it was pretty gol-darn hilarious." Cranky snorked. "I’d also like apologize to my brother. Flash, I'm sorry." "Oh, Snips. That was very nice." Celestia smiled. Everyone clapped. "Flash, do you have something to say?" "Beat that, you little trout-sniffer." Snips whispered to Flash. But Flash wasn't in the kindhearted mood at all. " I'm not sorry. I did what I did because Snips humiliated me." Flash cried. "And since he gets away with everything, I let him have it. And since you’re all so stupid to believe his lies, I don't care if your Florida trip gets wrecked or not. Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway? "Flash." "You walk outta here, you sleep on the third floor." Sombra warned. "Yeah, with me." "So, What else is new?" "You better not wreck my trip you little sourpuss." Cranky said. "Your dad's paying good money for it." "Oh, wouldn't wanna spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate." Flash stormed off. "What a troubled young man." Flash is now up in the attic by himself. "They're all a bunch of jerks." He said. Celestia walked upstairs to talk to Flash. "Hi. Last time we tried to take a trip, we had a problem just like this." She said. "Yeah, with me getting crapped on. I don't care for your choice of words." "That's not what happened. Snips apologized to you." "Yeah, then he called me a trout-sniffer." "He didn't mean it. He was just sucking up to you. Okay, why don't you just sit up here and think things over? When you're ready to apologize to everyone, you can come down." "I'm not apologizing to Snips. I'd rather kiss a toilet seat!" "Then stay up here all night." "I don't want to go down anyway! I can't trust anybody in this family." He cried. "You know what? If I had my own money, I'd go on my own vacation. Alone, without any of you. And I'd have the most fun of my whole life." "You got your wish last year. Maybe you will this year. I hope so." Celestia said as she left Flash lies in bed feeling down and upset, he just wish he doesn't have be bullied or be punished. He just wanted to be alone again.
Flash in SmallvilleOvernight, everyone was asleep. And the wind was blowing like a breezy winter night. Then a newspaper was onto the door, revealing a news report about Gotham's most dangerous criminals, Joker and Harley Quinn escaped from the Arkham Asylum during a riot. The next morning, the uber vans arrived and came up knocking on the door but hear nothing. They ring the doorbell, Celestia woke up realizing the same mistake. "SOMBRA!" "WE DID IT AGAIN!" They screamed. Everyone wakes up and runs around the house like speeding cheetahs trying to get ready...again! Everyone got outside. "Our family here, other family there." Celestia said while rushing. "I shouldn't complain, but you give the worst god darn wake-up calls." Cranky said. "Cranky! Do you have the tickets?" He handed them to her as they got in the van. "How many do you have?" "Seven." She gave each of them the same tickets. "This time, you were lucky to get on the same plane. eleven, twelve, thirteen. Where's Flash?" Flash appears to her as he grabs the ticket. "Fourteen." He said. "Good thing I have my own ticket, just in case you try to ditch me." They are ready to drive off. At the airport, everyone was rushing to get to the plane, while Flash was looking for something. "Dad! I need batteries." He said. "I'll give them to you on the plane." Sombra told him. "Why not now?" "Not now!" Everyone began rushing through the lobby of the airport, pushing through a few people. Flash was right behind his father, but everyone was going so fast that Flash was getting close to being separated. Flash stopped and added batteries to his tape recorder. "Dad, wait!!" He shouted. He ran as fast as he could to catch up with them. The crowd of people was getting him confused. Meanwhile, everyone else was racing through the hall and they finally made it to the gate. Everyone gave the tickets to the check-in agents. "Merry Christmas." The lady said. And they all gone aboard. Meanwhile, Flash was trying to catch up with someone who he thinks is his Dad. "Hey, wait up! Hey, guys, wait for me!" He shouted. At last, they finally reached the gate, but the wrong one. Flash ran so fast that he bumped into a lady agent that it made her dropped tickets. "I'm sorry." "That's okay. Are you on this flight?" She asked. "Yeah. My family's on the plane. I don't want to be left here." He responded as he helped her pick them up. "Do you have a boarding pass?" "Somewhere...." Then a guy comes in. "They're ready to go." "He dropped his pass." "This happened to me last year and almost wrecked my Christmas." Flash said. "You sure your family's onboard?" The guy asked. "My dad ran in right before I bumped into this lady." "Board him. Make sure he locates his family before you leave him." The guy ordered the lady. She escorted Flash into the plane. "Do you see your family?" She asked. Then Flash see's the guy who he thinks is his Dad. "There's my dad over there." He pointed. "Find an empty seat. Merry Christmas." "You too." He sat down next to a man, he reaches over to locate where the rest of his family is at. He couldn't see them, but he thought they were in a different area. "So have you ever been to Florida?" Flash asked the guy next to him. But the guy speaks French so he couldn't understand a word he is saying. So, he puts on his headset and listens to music "Welcome aboard American Airlines flight 176 non-stop to Smallville." Meanwhile, on the plane to Florida, Sombra was enjoying the flight while Celestia is staring off into space. "I didn't think we'd make it." He said, then turns to her wife. "Something wrong? Honey?" "I have that feeling. We forgot something?" Celestia answered. "No, I don't think we did, but I just have that feeling." "Just bad memories. We did everything, brought everything. We have everybody. There's nothing to worry about." "Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're right. We’re fine." Meanwhile, the plane to Smallville has landed. In the airport, Flash got out, but no sign of his family. "Mom? Dad? Uncle Cranky? Snips?" He turned to see the plane gate and as the final people go out, the gate door was then shut closed. "Where are those guys?" Flash wondered. Meanwhile, the rest of the family made it to Florida. They were given their suitcases and one of them belonged to Flash. "Give this to Flash." Sombra ordered. Each of them passed Flash's suitcase. "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." "Give this to Flash." Finally, it was given to Tender Hooves. "Here you go, Flash." Then he notices two elderly people he's about to hand the bag over, so he passes the bag around to the others. "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "Flash's not here." "What?!" Celestia only reacts by laughing, until... "FLASH!" Meanwhile, at the other airport where Flash is. He looked out the windows seeing an enormous city. And he realizes he's not in Florida. So, he runs to a stand with an agent. "Excuse me, this is an emergency!" He said. "Yes, sir?" "What city is that?" He pointed. "That's Smallville." "Yikes, I did it again!" He freezes with a drop of his jaw. "Something wrong, sir?" "I'll be fine" Flash went to sit down on a waiting seat. "Oh, no. My family's in Florida and I'm in Smallville." Then he begins to smile. "My family's in Florida? I'm in...Smallville? Later, he is riding a taxi through the bridge to the city, next he looks around in the street and takes a picture of something, next he walks by a diner to see a man in a Santa costume walking in a stilt and gives Flash something. Next he walks out of a Chinese place and puts something in his bag. Then goes to a shore to see birds through a coin-operated binoculars. And finally he steps up into a tall building to the rooftop and takes pictures of the whole city. He was really enjoying the life; he never knew what hit him.
The Plaza HotelIn an airport security office, Celestia and Sombra were explaining about their missing kid. "What's the child's name?" Security asked. "Flash." Celestia said. "F-L-A-S-H." "When did you see him last? Curbside check-in?" "No, I saw him at the door. He was with us in the terminal." Sombra explained. "Most people get separated at security. Did everyone get through security?" "I don't know. Sombra..."Celestia tried to say. "We were in a hurry. We ran all the way to the gate." Sombra said. "When did you notice he was missing?" "When we picked up our baggage here." "Has the boy ever run away from home?" "No." "Has he ever been in a situation on his own?" They denied it, but then remember the incident from last year. "As a matter of fact, this has happened before." Celestia spoke. " It's becoming a family travel tradition. Funnily enough, we never lose our luggage." The two couple laugh in stress, but the security officer wasn't. "He was left at home, by accident, last year." "That's what my wife meant calling it a family travel tradition." Sombra said. We'll call Gotham and... ...notify them of the situation. The odds are that's where he is." "Thank you." Meanwhile in Smallville, Flash was walking through an area where men were working with fish. He walks as a truck approaches him and stops. "Watch out, kid!" But in the trailer of the truck, Joker and Harley Quinn who have escaped from prison, have arrived in Smallville in a fish truck. "Here we are, Harley. Smallville, the Land of Opportunity." Joker says as he takes a deep breath. "Smell that?" "Yeah." Harley Quinn said. "Know what that is?" "Fish." "It's freedom." "No, it's fish." "It's freedom, and it's money." "Okay, okay, it's freedom." "Come on, let's get out of here before someone sees us." "And it's fish." They left and came up from a subway station. "Yes, one quick score. We get ourselves some phony passports...and we hightail it to some foreign country." Joker smiled. "Arizona?" Harley peeped. She then grabs a couple of pennies out of a charity bucket. "That's very smart, Harley. You bust out of the asylum to rob 14 cents from Santa Claus?" "Every bit helps." Harley said. "Besides, now we got our new nickname. We’re the Sticky Love." "Real cute. Very cute." Later, Flash was walking through the park. Then he sees a hotel building, but not just any hotel building. "The Plaza Hotel. Smallville's most exciting hotel experience." Then a cat speeds past him, and one comes to snuggle his foot. "Aw, you're cute." Flash beamed. "But where did you come from?" Then a few more cats pass by him, he didn't know if he was seeing a pack of cats. Until he turns to see a woman dressed in a black coat. Then the cats approach her and then she turns to face Flash. "Sick!" Flash turns and runs for his life. He ran as fast as he could and finally loses her. Then he walks on. Meanwhile, Joker and Harley Quinn were walking through the streets. Flash was walking in the same area as well. As it was time for them to cross the crosswalk, they approach through a crowd of people without noticing each other. Until, Flash bumps into Joker, not knowing it was him. Joker turns to see who bumped him, he couldn't tell it was Flash. "What's the matter, Mr. J?" Harley asked him. "Thought I saw something." Later, at the Hotel Plaza, Flash arrives and approaches the building. He goes inside and is amazed of the design of the hallway. The carpet, the Shindelar, the walls, and much more. "Excuse me, where's the lobby?" Flash asked a guy with glasses. "Down the hall and to the left." He answered. "Thanks." He then continues on to find the lobby. He then pulls out his tape recorder and listens to what he recorded on the TV back home. "Guests of Ding, Dang, Dong stay at the world-renowned Plaza Hotel: Smallville's most exciting hotel experience. For reservations, call toll-free, 1-800-759-3000." "I'll do just that." Flash begins to record his voice. "Howdy-do. This is Sombra. The father. I'd like a hotel room. With an extra-large bed, a TV...and one of those little refrigerators with a key. Credit card? You got it." Then he goes to a telephone booth and clicks on numbers. At a Plaza Reservation... "Plaza Reservations, may I help you?" Flash slow verbs the voice of the tape recorder. "Howdy-do. This is Sombra. The father." "Yes, sir." "I'd like a hotel room." "Yes." "With an extra-large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators with a key." "You'll need a major credit card." "Credit card? You got it." "Thank you. Enjoy your stay." He then walks up to a stand where a lady named Abacus Cinch was escorting people to their hotel rooms. "Hi." He said. "Can I help you?" "Reservation for me?" "A reservation for yourself?" "My feet are hardly touching the ground. I can barely see over the counter. How can I make a reservation for a room? Think about it: A kid going into a hotel making a reservation? I don't think so." "I'm confused." "I'm traveling with my dad. He's on business. He's at a meeting. I hate meetings. I'm not allowed to go in, only to sit in the lobby. That's boring. So my dad dropped me off." Flash pulled out a credit card. "Gave me his credit card and said to have check-in... ...let me in the room so I won't get into mischief. Ma’am, sometimes I do get into mischief. We all do." Meanwhile, at the Airport Security office, the officer got a phone call. "No sign of him." He said to the couple. "We'll need to be in touch. You have hotel rooms?" "Yes." "Do you have a recent photo of him?" Celestia was looking for a wallet in her pocket. "I don't have my wallet. My wallet's in my bag." Sombra said, and then he realized something. "Flash was looking in my bag at the airport. He has my wallet." "Did you have credit cards?" "Credit cards, money..." "We'll notify the credit card companies. If your son has the cards, we can get a location on him when he uses them." "I don't think he knows how to use a credit card." Celestia said. Meanwhile, Flash was getting checked in. "Wow! It worked!" On the other side of the lobby... "Ragamuffin." "Yes?" "Don't count your tips in public." A guy named Filthy Rich said. "And find out everything you can about that young fellow." "Front, please." The Cinch gives Flash the credit card. "Enjoy your stay with us." The guy see's Flash put the credit card in his bag. "Don't forget to remind your dad, when he arrives... ...he must come down and sign a couple of things." Cinch said. "Thank you, you've been helpful." Flash said. "May I take your bag?" The lobby manager was suspicious about him. Meanwhile, Ragamuffin was leading Flash to room 411 which was his stay. "This is one of our finest suites, sir." He said. "This is great!" Flash beamed. He then see's a huge bed. "Wow! A huge bed just for me!" He then finds the bathroom with a huge tub. "Luxurious and spacious." He then enters a cabinet with snacks, candy and cookies. "How convenient." Ragamuffin look in his bag and see's Sombra's name tag. Flash turns to him. "Hey!" "Did you want the key in the bag? Or did you want to hang on to it?" He asked. "I'll hang on to it." Flash answered as he snatched the bag and key. "Everything all right?" "Is the temperature, okay?" Flash asked. "It's okay. Do you know how the TV works?" "I'm 10 years old. TV's my life." "Well..." "I'm sorry." Flash handed him a stick of gum instead of cash. "And there's plenty more where that came from." Later, at the pool, Flash was wearing big flip-flops and big swim trunks. He was ready to go for a dive and turned to see adults and elders looking at him. "Would you mind if I worked on my cannonballs?" He said. They just shrugged. "Thanks." He backed up and then went in for a dive. And of course...he lost his swim trunks. Later in the hotel room, Flash was watching the sequel of the R-rated movie he watched last year. While a room servicer was scooping him some ice cream. "This is a vacation." "Two scoops, sir?" "Two? Make it three, I'm not driving." Hold it right there! It's me, Johnny. I knew it was you. I could smell you getting off the elevator. It's Gardenias, Johnny, your favorite. You was here last night too, wasn't you? I was singing at the Blue Monkey last night. "She was not. She was smooching your brother." You was here, and you was smooching with my brother. That’s a dirty lie. Don't give me that. You been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff… I could go on forever, baby. You have me all wrong! All right. I believe you. But my Tommy gun don't! Johnny! You’re the only duck in my pond! Get down on your knees and tell me you love me. Baby! I'm over the moon for you! You gotta do better than that! If my love was an ocean, Lindy’d have to take two planes to get across it Maybe I’m off my hinges, but I believe you. That’s why I'm gonna let you go. I’m gonna give you till the count of three, to get your lousy… … lying… … lowdown, four-flushing carcass out my door! "She’s rat bait." One! Two! Then he starts shooting and laughing. Three! Merry Christmas, you filthy animal. And a Happy New Year. Flash was covering his eyes. While the Christmas lights were going on outside the buildings, Filthy Rich was going to check Flash's room. When Flash heard the knock on the door, he turned of the TV and ran into the bathroom. As the manager finally got in, Flash turned on the shower. He heard music coming from the bathroom and creeped right in and sees a guy in the shower curtain. But in reality, it was just an inflatable clown being controlled with strings by Flash. And using his tape recorder with Cranky's recording. Then he turned it to face him. "Get out of here, you nosy little pervert, or I'll slap you silly!" That startled Filthy as he speeded out and hits his knee on a small table. Meanwhile, the whole rest of Flash's family were heading to a motel in Florida in the middle of the rain. "Didn't look this bad on our honeymoon." Meanwhile, at the Plaza. Flash was searching in the bag and finds a phone number journal. He then see's his other uncle's number. "Uncle Mac lives here." He said. "If they're back from Paris, I'll drop in on them. They usually give pretty good presents." Then, Flash finds and looks at his family picture. He then gets up and looks out the window viewing the city. he begins to miss his family and his Mom. Celestia misses Flash as well. "Good night, Mom." "Good night, Flash." Author's Note Trivia: .The creepy lady who Flash encountered with was none other than...Selina Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman .And the guy with the glasses who gave Flash directions to the lobby was none other than...Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman
Grand Pear's Toy StoreThe next morning, Ragamuffin knocked on the door to give Flash some drawers. "Your drawers, sir." "Jeez! Don't flash these babies around here!" Flash said. "There could be girls on this floor." "I was very careful, sir." "You can't be too careful with underwear." "I understand." " I'm sorry. You wanted a tip." Ragamuffin still had the gum that Flash gave was still in his mouth. "That won't be necessary, sir. I still have some tip left over." He said. That was when he realized it was real money that Flash pulled out. "No tip? Okay." "No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Then he closed the door on him. Later down the lobby, Flash got to Filthy Riches stand. "Mr. Sentry." Filthy Rich raced to him. "And how are we this morning?" He asked. "Fine. Is my transportation here?" Flash asked. "Out in front, sir. A limousine and a pizza. Compliments of the Plaza Hotel." Then he remembers the incident last night. "I do hope your father understands that last night...I was simply checking to see that everything was in order." He said. "Oh, he was pretty mad. He said he didn't come here to have his naked rear spied on." "Of course not. Will he be down soon?" "He already left." "I would’ve liked to have offered my personal apology." "If a guy saw you in the shower, would you want to see him? I suppose not. I don't think you'll see him again." Then he left. "Have a lovely day." He waved. But he was still suspicious of him. He went back to his desk to look at the guest file cards to see his father's name on it. "Sentry..." He dialed the credit card verification device while it processed. Meanwhile, Flash was outside to see his limousine and pizza waiting for him. "Morning. Mr. Sentry, here's your very own...cheese pizza." In the limousine, he was eating his own pizza and drinking soda from a glass while watching a Christmas cartoon on a small screen. He pushed the divider button to open the window of the driver, then picks up a phone. "Hello?" "Hello." "Know any good toy stores?" "Yes, sir." Meanwhile, Filthy Rich was looking at his credit card device and found out that the credit card was stolen. "Bingo." Meanwhile at a skating rink, Joker (in disguise) was looking at a newspaper, while Harley was ice skiing. "Hey, Harley! Get over here! I gotta talk to you! " He called for her. Harley raced over to where he was. "Would you like my scarf?" She said. "Forget about that, we gotta talk." He showed her the newspaper. "We don't have the equipment to pull off anything big: Banjs, jewelry stores..." He explained. "We don't want goods. We need cash and we need it now." Harley secretly grabs a kids stringed mitten. "How about...hotels?" She suggested. "Tourists carry lots of cash." "I got a better idea. Stores ain’t depositing cash on Christmas Eve. The stores that will have cash are the ones dealing in moderate priced goods." "Ergo, what store's gonna make the most cash on Christmas Eve...that nobody's gonna rob?" "Candy Stores?" Harley asked. "Nine-year-olds rob candy stores. This is what I had in mind..." He showed her the picture a logo of a toy store. That's brilliant, Puddin! Brilliant!" Harley smiled. "Nobody's dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve." Joker said. "Oh, yes, there is. You and me." They both laughed. Meanwhile, the limousine arrived at a giant toy store. "Here we are, sir. Grand Pear's Toy Chest." Flash got out of the ride to see the sign. Inside, he looked around the store and it had everything. Auto controlled trains, big stuffed animals, and lots, lots more. "This is the greatest accident of my life." Flash gasped. Meanwhile, Joker and Harley Quinn were hiding in little houses. "Harley! Harley!" "Hey, nice house. But there's no bathroom in it." Harley said. "So, what's the plan?" Everyone leaves for a holiday off. We come out of our houses." Joker explained. "Yeah, then what?" "We empty the registers and walk out." "Great plan, Puddin!" At the register stand, Grand Pear was cashing checks for toys, then Flash came up for a toy to buy. "You shopping alone?" He asked. "In Smallville? Sir, I'm afraid of my own shadow." Flash answered. "I was just checking. That's very responsible of you. That’ll be $23.75." Flash takes out an envelope for the money. "My, my, my. Where did you get all that money?" Mr. Pear asked. "I have a lot of grandmothers." "Oh. Well, that explains it" "This is a nice store. One of the finer toy dealerships I’ve visited." "Well, thank you." "Grand Pear must be a nice guy, letting kids come in here and play with his toys. Most toy stores prohibit that." Flash said. "Is that so?" Grand Pear said as he explained something. "Well, he loves kids. As a matter of fact, all the money the store takes in today, Mr. Pear is donating to the Children's Hospital. And the day after Christmas, we empty out all the money in the cash register, and Mr. Pear takes it right down to the hospital." "That's generous of him." Flash said. "Well, children bring him a lot of joy... ...as they do to everyone who appreciates them." Flash then pulled out a $20 from the envelope. "I'm not supposed to spend this, but I have $20 in a jar in our garage, where my brother can't find it." He said. "So I can pay my mother back. So, give this to Mr. Pear. The hospital needs it more than I do. Besides, I'll probably spend it on stuff that will rot my teeth and mind." "Ah, that's... That's very sweet of you." Mr. Pear smiled. "You see that tree there?" He pointed to the tree next to him. "Well, to show our appreciation for your generosity, I'll let you select an object from that tree to take home with you." "For free?" "May I make a suggestion?" He takes a turtle dove ornament from the tree. "Take the turtledoves." "I can have two?" "Well, “two turtledoves.” And I tell you what you do. You keep one and give the other one to a very special person. You see, turtledoves are a symbol of friendship and love. Now, as long as each of you have your turtledove you'll be friends forever. "Wow, I never knew that." Flash said. "I thought they were just part of a song." "They are. And for that very special reason." Mr. Pear said as he waved to him. "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas to you too. Be sure to bundle up if you go outside. It's nippy." As he was leaving, he see's painting frame that has the painting of none other than...Grand Pear! Then he turns around to where he is and see's that he's not there anymore. Outside, Flash leaves the store and looks at his map. Then Joker and Harley Quinn exit the store too. "Well, where to?" "You promised you'd take me to the Smallville Zoo." Then Joker notices Flash and then see's this name "F. Sentry" on his backpack. "Hey, look who it is." Joker said to Harley. "It's the kid from last year." Harley gasped. "Come on, let's get him." They quietly sneaked behind him. Flash was looking at his map, until a shadow shaded it. "Hiya, pal!" Flash drops his map and looks up behind him. As Harley puts her hand out to snatch him....Flash screams! He runs as fast as he could to escape them, while Joker and Harley chase after him. They raced through trafficked cars, they run through the streets. A black guy was selling jewelry "Buy now and avoid the Christmas rush. Two for $5. Two for $5. Four for 10." Flash quickly buys a pearl necklace. "There he is!" Flash dashes off while Joker and Harley were catching up to him. Flash starts breaking the necklace and as they got closer, he shattered the necklace as the pearls came tumbling on the ground. As the two Jokesters caught up, they slipped on the pearls and fell to the ground. Flash finally reached the hotel, but it wasn't a very helping welcome. "Help! There's two guys after me!" Flash told Filthy Rich. "What's the matter? Store wouldn't take your....stolen credit card?" He exclaimed. "Let's see what the police have to say about this." Now Flash in even more trouble. He speed pass him as he tried to grab him, Filthy Rich chased after him. Joker and Harley got up to see Flash enter the hotel. "Come on! Let's go get him." Inside the hotel, Filthy Rich was chasing after Flash. "Get back here, you little thief!" He shouted. He was headed straight towards Ragamuffin. "Stop that child!" Ragamuffin tried to snatch him, but he was to quick. Now he was headed towards Cinch. "Grab him!" Cinch opened her arms to grab him, but Flash slides under her legs to the elevator. Then they all fall onto Cinch. The elevator closed. "I’ve committed credit card fraud." Flash gasped. "Get me security! We’ve got to stop that delinquent!" But Ragamuffin was still on the floor. "Come along, Ragamuffin!" On the other floor, Flash hurries to his hotel room and gathered a few things. "I’ve had enough of this vacation. I'm going home." He told himself. Flash scrambles back to his room after being unmasked for credit card fraud, with Filthy Rich and the hotel staff in hot pursuit. He plays back Angels with Even Filthier Souls on the VHS. "Hold it right there!" Filthy Rich and the crew stop as Flash forwards to the right sections and mutes the woman in the dialogue. "This is the Concierge, sir. "He said, not knowing it's the TV. "I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! You was here last night too, wasn't ya? "Yes, sir. I was." "You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother." The other hotel staff start giving Filthy odd looks. "But... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir." He said. "Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff... The security guard gasps: the other hotel staff, including Filthy rich, look at him in shock. "No. It's a lie!" "I could go on forever, baby! "I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man." "All right. I believe you. But my Tommy gun don't!" Filthy gives a confused look. "Get down on your knees and tell me you love me." The entire staff gets down on their knees. "I love you!" He said. "Ya gotta do better than that!." "I love you!" They all said. "Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let ya go. I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of 3 to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! 1... 2...! The TV of the guy fires his gun wildly, cackling, as the hotel staff dive for cover. While Flash escapes and mouths the words. "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! And a Happy New Year." As the staff crawls out; to the onlooking patrons, they see guest who heard the noise. "Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!" Filthy Rich warned the guests. Flash was running downstairs to the loading dock. But when he get out, he jumps and see's Joker and Harley Quinn in front of him. And then they catch him. "Come to Papa!" Joker smiled. "Round trip to Miami? What's the matter, kid? Get on the wrong plane, squirt?" Harley laughed. Joker takes Flash's ticket and rips it. "Looks like you won't be needin' this, kid." He said. "American don't fly to the promised land, little buddy." They grab him and dragged all the way from the alley. "We spent 9 months in the Asylum thinking we had the worst luck in the universe. We were wrong. We busted out and we’re doing fine." "Even better...because we’re not robbing houses, we’re robbing toy stores." Harley said. "At midnight tonight, we'll hit Duncan's Toy Chest. Five floors of cash. Then after that, we grab some phony passports and go to Rio." "Harley, you want to shut up?" Joker told her. "He's not gonna talk to anybody. Except maybe a fish. Or the undertaker. Let's go to the subway tunnel. I'll feel better once I get him on ice." In the park... " I’ve got a gun. Say anything and you'll be spitting gum out through your forehead." Joker warned Flash. Then Flash see's a lady and then had an idea. He touch the lady's leg to have to turn to the Joker. He only grinned. And then She punched him. "She did it." Flash pointed to Harley. She punches her too. "Thanks." He runs off, as Joker and Harley got up. "He went in the park." Harley said as they run after him. Flash as fast as he could, he paused to look for a getaway. The see's a horse-drawn carriage and runs over there and got on. Joker and Harley caught up but couldn't see him. Then they see a group of kids and thinks he's in there. They run over and yank each kids hat off to see if it's him. But none of them are him. "We should’ve shot him when I had the chance. I hate pulling a job, knowing that creep's loose." Joker groaned. "What can he do? Kids are helpless." Harley said to him. "Not this kid." "But this time he doesn't have a house full of dangerous goodies. He's in the park. He's alone. Kids are scared of the park." "Yeah. Grown gangsters come in the park and don't leave alive. Good luck, little fella." As the two duos leave, Flash is sad while hiding in the carriage. "I want to go home. Mom, where are you?"
Selina KyleIn Florida, the family was all together inside a motel room watching a vintage movie. Until the phone rang. "Turn that down!" Celestia ordered as she picked up the phone. "Hello?" As Celestia was listening, she was astonished that they figured out where Flash is. "They know where Flash is." "Where?" "He's in Smallville." "Smallville?" Everyone yelped. "Where Superman lives?" Snips asked. "Yes!" Celestia continued on the phone. "He's scared; he's not a troublemaker." She said on the phone. "He used your credit card to check into the Plaza Hotel." "Do they have him?" Sombra asked. "Is he there? No, they're still looking. We’re on the next flight out. Thanks." Celestia is informed by airport security that Flash is on the run in Smallville. "We're going to Smallville, move it!" She ordered. The others shout approval; everybody scrambles to pack. "He ran away from the hotel when they questioned him about the card. He must be so scared, Sombra." Celestia said in worry. "I wonder if he'd know enough to go to my brother's place." Sombra said. "Aren't they in Paris?" "Maybe they have a house sitter." "I thought you said they were renovating." Meanwhile in Smallville, Flash was looking for his Uncle Mac's house. He looked at the booklet and see's his address, which was right in front of him. As he walks right in... "Hello?! Uncle Mac! Aunt Sugar Belle!" He called. He looked around to see that the house was completely empty and abandoned. "Anybody home?! Hello! Anybody home? It's me, your favorite nephew, Flash! Uncle Mac! Aunt Sugar Belle!" Now Flash didn't know what to do now. So, he walked around the streets with creepy people. He walks pass and bumps into them. "Watch it, kid!" "You looking for someone to read you a bedtime story?" Then he sees a taxi drive by. "Taxi!" He raced into the car. "Boy, It's scary out there." He breathed. Then the driver with a scared face turns his head towards him. "Ain’t much better in here." Flash rushes out of the car and runs into the park. "I don't ever want to take a vacation like this again." He told himself. He pulled out a packaged cookie, unwrapped it, and munched into it. "Meow!" He turns to see a cat standing on the rock he was sitting by. he decided to feed it to it. Then more came. "Where did you come from?" Flash wondered. " I don't have enough for everybody. How hungry are you guys? You guys ate all my food. Suddenly came the same woman who he saw at the park yesterday. Flash screamed, as he tried to get away, he noticed his leg was caught. He tried to pull it out as she got closer and closer, but then she took his foot and pulled it right out. Then Flash ran off. But then he stopped. He turned around and goes back. "Look, I'm sorry I screamed in your face. You were trying to help me, right?" He said to her. "I'm Flash Sentry. Your cats are real nice. I’ve seen you before. You had cats all over you. At first, you look scary, but when I think about it, it's not so bad. They must like you to be all over you." Still, she stayed silent. "If I'm bothering you, I can leave. Am I bothering you?" Flash asked. "No." She finally said. "Good. I'm not a pain in the butt?" "No." "Will the cats come back on their own or do you call them?" Then she comes to Flash. "Give me your hand." She said as he puts crumbs in his hand. Then he spills it on the ground. Then the cats come like a group of pigeons and ate them off the ground. "This is great!" Flash said. " It's pretty cold out. I'd sure like a cup of hot chocolate. How about you? My treat. I'd hate to spend Christmas Eve in such a park. Can we go someplace warm?" "Yes. I know a place." She said. "Wait, I don't even know your name." "I'm Selina...Selina Kyle." At an orchestra rehearsal, Flash and Selina were watching from the balcony area. "Nice music. This place is great." Flash said. "I’ve heard the world's great music from here." Selina said. "Ella Fitzgerald. Count Masie. Frank Sinatra. Luciano Pavarotti." "Do you bring your friends here?" Flash asked. "I haven't got many friends. I'm like the cats I care for." Selina explained. "Back in Gotham, people pass me in the street. They see me but they try to ignore me. They prefer I wasn't in their city." "Wait, you're from Gotham? What are you doing here in Smallville?" "Oh, I thought I'd take a little vacation from...it's hard to explain." She didn't want to reveal who she truly is. "It's like that with my family. I'm like the pigeon of the house, just because I'm the youngest." "Everyone fights for position. Everyone wants to be seen and heard." "I guess so. I'm seen and heard pretty much. But I get sent to my room a lot too. I wasn't always like this. What were you like before?" "I had a job. I had a home. – I had a family." "Any kids?" Flash asked. "No. I wanted them." Selina answered. "But the man I loved....we had differences. I could've married him but...we all had differences. And sometimes differences don't match up with a relationship. So, we broke up. That broke my heart. When the chance to be loved came along again...I ran away from it. I stopped trusting people." "No offense, but that seems like sort of a dumb thing to do." "I was afraid of getting my heart broken again. Sometimes you can trust a person....and then, when things are down, they forget about you." "Maybe they're just too busy. Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you." Flash told her. People don't mean to forget. My grandfather says...if my head wasn't screwed on, I'd leave it on the school bus." "I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken." "I understand. I had a nice pair of Rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box." "Do you know what happened?" "I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times." "A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates." Selina giggled. "They're kind of the same thing." "If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my Rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose." "Little truth in there somewhere." Selina said. "I think so. Your heart might still be broken, but it isn't gone. If it was gone, you wouldn't be so nice." "Thank you. Do you know it's been... ...a couple of weeks since I’ve talked to anybody?" "That's okay. You're good at it." Flash smiled. " You're not boring. You don't mumble or spit. You should do it more often. Just wear an outfit with no cat poop on it." They both laugh. "I have been working very hard at keeping people away. I always think I'll have a lot of fun if I'm alone, but when I'm alone, it's not fun." Selina said. "I don't care how much people bug me; I'd rather be with someone than alone." Flash replied. "So, what are you doing running around the streets alone on Christmas Eve?" Selina asked. "Did you get into trouble?" "Yeah." "You did something wrong?" "A lot of things." "Did you know that a good deed erases a bad deed?" "It's late. I don't know if I'll have enough time to do enough good deeds to erase all my bad ones." "It's Christmas Eve. Good deeds count extra tonight." Selina replied. "They do?" "Of course they do. Think of an important thing you can do for others and go do it. Just follow the star in your heart." "Okay. It's getting pretty late. I'd better get going. If I don't see you, I hope everything turns out okay." "Thank you." "Tell the Cats I said goodbye." "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "If you need somebody to trust, it can be me. I won't forget to remember you." Flash told Selina. "Don't make promises you can't keep." She reminded him. As Flash left, Selina went over and opened her box, revealing a latex suit with a cat mask. Meanwhile, Flash was walking down the streets, hearing the Christmas carols playing. Then he looks up at a kid who is looking out the window giving a sign language saying "Merry Christmas". Then he remembered something... "All the money in the registers Mr. Pear is gonna donate to the Children ‘s Hospital." "At midnight tonight, we’re hitting Duncan ‘s Toy Chest." "You can mess with a lot of things, but you can't mess with kids on Christmas." Flash said to himself. Then he ran all the way back to his Uncle's abandoned house for a plan. Author's Note Trivia: .Selina a.k.a Catwoman was mentioned a part from "Batman: Hush" where Batman and her had a difference of wanting Hush dead.
Operation Ho Ho HoFlash ran all the way back to his uncle's abandoned house. He goes into a laundry chute all the way back inside. Inside, he rolled a paper of the boody traps he will set up for the Joker and Harley Quinn. He takes a blowtorch and a nail gun out of a toolchest. He squirted the green slime that he bought from the toy store all over the floor. He took jumper cables and connected them to the sink. He squirted slime onto the paint roller and spread it onto the ladder of the fire escape. Outside he piled up paint cans. He poured gasoline into the empty toilet. He sawed the wooden ladder. He led down a rope all the way down to the last floor. And he coated another rope kerosene. He takes wood that was a floor and reveals a hole. Meanwhile at the Plaza Hotel, Celestia and the rest of the family were in the lobby. "We'd like to offer you a complimentary suite." Filthy Rich told them. "It's a penthouse with a view of the park. I think you'll find it satisfactory. It was recently vacated by a countess." "What kind of hotel lets a child check in alone?" Celestia said, feeling pounded. "The boy had a very convincing story." Cinch told her. "What kind of idiots work here?" "The finest in New York." "When you learned the credit card was stolen..." Sombra tried to say. "I made the discovery." Filthy told him. "Why did you let him leave?" "When we confronted him, and he ran!" "You scared him! It's Christmas Eve, and because of you, our child is lost in a huge city." Celestia exclaimed. "Could you take our family and luggage up to the room." Sombra asked. "Yes, Sir." "I'll go to the police station to make sure they're looking for Flash. I want you to stay here..." "I'm going to look for him." Celestia interrupted. "With all due respect, your son is lost in one of the world's biggest cities." Filthy Rich said. "Could you stay out of this?" Sombra shutted him up. "It's not a good idea to run around New York City alone." "If Flash can, so can I." Celestia told him. "Celestia..." "I'll be fine. The way I feel, no mugger or murderer would mess with me." "Madam." Filthy Rich continued. "There are hundreds of armed parasites out there!" Celestia slaps him. "Do bundle up. It's awfully cold outside." Meanwhile, at Grand Pears Toy Store, it was closing time, and the lights were off. Joker popped out of his little toy house. "Harley, Harley, come on, let's go." Joker whispered. The two jokesters moved down the stairs, to the area where the cash register is at. "Crowbars up!" They both clink each other's crowbar. They both dig into both the cash register and the chest where the money for the Children's Hospital. Outside, Flash was walking by, holding a long wooden board and a paint can. He puts them down and looks through the glass window and see's Joker and Harley robbing the store. "This is more money than I can even count!" Harley laughed. "It makes you wonder why we spent so much time robbing homes or banks or try killing Batman." Then Flash places the wooden board on the paint can. Then he comes to knock on the glass and Joker and Harkey see him. "He's back!" Joker exclaimed. Then Flash snaps a picture with a camera. "He took our picture!" "How was my hair?" He pulls out a brick out of his bag with a letter to Mr. Pear. "This is it. No turning back. Another Christmas in the trenches." He told himself as he began to throw the brick at the window. "NOOOOOO!" It went right through with a loud shatter. The alarm begins to ring. "That's it! Get the money! I'll kill him!" They begin to chase after him. As Joker landed outside through the window, he lands on the wood board, then notices something. "I'm coming, Puddin!" Harley called. "Harley, No!" Harley then lands on the other side of the wooden board, causing Joker to go flying up and crashes onto a car. Joker winces in pain. "Puddin, that was incredible!" As she helps Joker up... "Hey, guys! Smile!" Flash takes another picture of them as he runs off. Joker gets up and he and Harley run after him. Meanwhile, Celestia reaches the same apartment building Flash was at. She knocks on the door and tries to look at the window to see if someone was home. Then a taxi drives by. "Taxi!" She jumps right in and then takes off. Just then Flash returns just as they left and climbs into the chute. Joker and Harley Quinn were 8 feet far from him and where about to catch up as they got to the apartment building. "Where'd he go?" Harley wondered. "I'm up here! Come and get me!" Flash called all the way from the roof and takes one last picture. "Let's kill him!" "Hold on, darling. We got busted last time, because we underestimated that little bundle of misery." Joker reminded her. "This ain't like the last time. This ain't his house. The kid's running scared. He ain't got a plan." "May I do the thinking please? Sonny!" "Yes?" Flash called. "Nothing would thrill me more greatly than to shoot you." Joker called all the way down. "Knocking off a youngster ain't gonna mean all that much to me. Understand?" "Mm-hmm." "But since we're in a hurry, I'll make a deal with you: you throw down your camera and we won't hurt you. You'll never hear from us again. Okay?" "You promise?" "I cross my heart and hope to die." "Okay." Flash picks up a brick from a pile behind him. "Okay, kid. Give it to me!" Flash throws the brick all the way down to Harley, hitting her on the forehead. She falls in pain. "Direct hit!" Harley seemed conscious. "How many fingers am I holding up, Harley?" Joker asked. "Eight?" Harley replied, woozy. "Okay, kid. You want to throw bricks? Go ahead, throw another one." Flash picks up another brick and throws it down, hitting Harley again. "If you can't do any better than that, you're going to lose." Joker shouted back. Flash grabs another and throws it again at Harley. "You got any more?" It seemed like he's given up. "Get up, Harley. He don't have any more bricks, he's out of them." Joker said. Flash sneaks the last brick to them. Harley notices and mumbles to him. "What?" Harley mumbles even louder. "What?" Flash throws the brick and Joker turns and moves out of the way and hits Harley again. "That did it! Nobody throws bricks at me and gets away with it." Joker shouted and he instructs Harley. "Come on! You go this way. I'll go around back." Harley was still woozy. Flash ran back down to the first floor. Harley got up and stumble up the steps to the door. She grabbed the door handle and it broke off, seeing it connected to a rope. Harley pulls the rope even further, not knowing that the rope was connected to a nail gun. As Harley finally pulls the end of the rope.... "Yeow!" A nail shoots right in her butt. She painfully turns and another nail shoots right in her thigh. And then in her face. Meanwhile, Joker was marching all the way to the back. Then he see's a fire escape ladder (same one Flash covered with green slime.) and climbs up to a trash crate. He thought he would swing himself to the window. Joker leaped towards the ladder, grabs the bar where the slime was and then his hands slip and he lands onto the ground. Slime drips onto his forehead. Joker grunts. Meanwhile, Harley pulls a nail out of her face. She is angry and decides to kick down the door. And when she does, she is finally inside. "Puddin! I reached the top!" Harley called out. But then she stumbles and falls down into the hole Flash set up. As she is on the floor, she cracks her bones back into place and faints. Meanwhile, Joker is climbs up the stairs to the back door into the apartment. Inside, Flash was setting up another trap. Joker hears him at the door as he runs off. "You better do better than this, kid." Joker grunted as he kicked the door open. And when he did, a bag of hard tools unzips and the tools collapsed onto him. Meanwhile, Harley gets up and another snap to her back. "Wow! What a hole!" She spoke. She looks around and sees a rope leading up to the first floor. As she walks over to it, she steps into the slime and starts slipping. She slips into the slime and speeds all the way to shelf where the paint cans were at. She crashes into it, causing the shelf to fall into her, splatting paint all over her. Meanwhile, Joker gets up from the hit and turns on every lightbulb in the hallway. Harley Quinn now covered in paint, gets up and spits out the paint in her mouth. She goes to the sink to wash off the paint. But little did she know that it was connected to jumper cables. As she touched the hot and cold handles....she gets electrocuted. Flash turns the power the cable up. and then turns it off, leaving Harley toasted. Meanwhile, Joker was turning every lightbulb on. As he got to the one where the bathroom is, his head catches on fire. He couldn't even tell what light it was coming from, until he sees his head on fire in the mirror. he tries the sink, but no water. Then he turns to the toilet filled with gasoline and puts his head in it and then.....BOOM! Now Joker's face is black. Harley stumbles to the rope where it led to the floor, she yaks it to make sure it's not another trap. "Puddin, I'm coming up!" She called. As she grabs onto the rope, it collapses and show it's connected to a weighted powder bag and then falls onto Harley. Now Harley is covered in powder. "I'm gonna murder that kid!" She grunted and then sneezes. Harley made a pile for her to climb on to reach the hole to the top. When she climbed it, she reaches the top. But the pile collapses, but she still made it. Flash was sneaking pass Joker who is looking at himself in the mirror and runs to the wooden ladder, but Harley sees him. "Hey!" "Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?" Flash replied as he climb up. "Puddin! He's in the living room! He went up the ladder!" Harley called Joker. Joker marches towards Flash and climbs up the ladder. But the ladder snaps, sending Joker falling to the floor, face first. Harley climbs up to the floor to help him. "I'm coming, Puddin. I'm coming. Puddin!" Harley helps him up. "You didn't lose any teeth! Come on, he went to the second floor." "Hey!" Flash called. "Why don't you guys try the stairs." "Right. Thanks for the tip, kiddo." Harley grinned as heads to the stairs. But Joker stops her. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Remember what happened last year?" He reminded her. "No." "Watch this. Let's get him!" Joker stomps on the steps, pretending that he's coming up the stairs. Then Flash throws down a paint can sending it to Joker's direction, but misses. "Ow! He busted me right in my mouth, Harley!" Joker faked. "Now I remember!" Harley laughed. "That's one." "Don't worry, Puddin. I'll get him." Harley played along as Flash throws another paint can that misses Harley. "Ow! Right in the schnoz." She faked. "That's two. Come on, let's get him." They continue up the stairs, but Flash drops a pipe. "Oops." Joker and Harley get hit and then he fall all the way down the hole here Harley fell into. "That's...three." Flash cuts the rope which caused the pipe to fall down the stairs and into the hole. CRASH! "That's four." Flash runs off to escape, but Joker and Harley were already continuing the chase. "Harley, are you sure this is safe?" Joker asked. "I’ve worked all the kinks out. Solid as a rock." Harley replied. They climbed up the pile to reach the top, and then the pile falls down again. "Like a rock, huh?" "Hey! You guys give up?" Flash called. "Have you had enough pain?" "Never!" Flash runs up the stairs with a rope that's connected the doorknob and ties to a tool chest. Joker and Harley were rushing upstairs. "You better say every prayer you ever heard!" Joker grunted. "I hope your parents got you a tombstone for Christmas." Harley laughed. As they reached the top... "Where'd he go?" "I'm up here and I'm really scared." Joker pulls the doorknob which is connected to the rope and then the toolchest comes tumbling down the stairs. "What's that sound?" They reach closer to the door and hears the clattering and then...the toolchest comes crashing through the door sending Joker and Harley flying right to the wall. "That was the sound of a tool chest...falling down the stairs." Harley groans. Flash head to the roof and yanks the rope down all the way down the ground. Then he begins to climb down the rope. Joker and Harley finally reached the top. "Even if I get the chair, I'm killing that kid!" Joker said, angrily "Surrender, kid!" They made it outside, but Flash was already down the bottom. "I'm down here, you big horse's butt!" He called. They both looked down to where he is. "Nice night for a neck injury!" Harley grabs a brick. "Suck brick, kid!" Harley throws the brick down at him but misses. Joker has no choice for them but to go down the rope. "Come on, Harley." He said to Harley. Harley looked down and felt woozy. "Come on, you big sissy." Harley joins along as they go down the rope. But Harley smells something. "Puddin? You wearing aftershave?" She asked. "That's not aftershave, that's kerosene." Joker replied. "The rope is soaked in it." "Why would anyone soak a rope in kerosene?" Then they see Flash light up a match. "Merry Christmas." He said. Then he sets the rope on fire. "Go up!" They rush up the rope as they got closer to each other. And as the fire got closer, they both fall and right onto the board making the cans of paint and varnish fly in the air. Joker lands on the ground and Harley lands on top of him. "Get off me!" Then they see they paint and varnish rain in the air as it splashes all over them along with the cans. Now they are all covered in it. Flash was running far from them as possible. He reaches the telephone booth and dials 9-1-1. "Two guys who robbed Grand Pear's Toy Chest are in the park. Smallville Park West, 95th Street. Look for fireworks. Hurry, they got a gun." Joker and Harley Quinn got up and ran after him. "I'm down here. Better come and get me before I call the cops." He runs pass the crosswalk and into the park. But then, he slips on a spot of ice and falls. His view starts spinning around until...Joker and Harley finally caught up to him. "My, how the tables have turned." Harley evilly grinned. "How do you like the ice?" Joker laughed as he grabbed Flash. "Let's go for a little stroll in the park." They walk deep into the shadows of the park along with Flash. Finally, they found a private spot. Joker takes the bag and see's the photos that Flash took of them. "Great for the album." Joker teased. "You may’ve won the battle, dude, but you lost the war." Harley spoke closer to him. "You ought not of messed with us. We’re dangerous." Joker then pulls out his gun. Harley notices cats around the rocks. "Puddin." "Shut up." Then come more cats. "Mr. J." "Shut up! I want to enjoy this." "Something's wrong. Let's get out of here!" "Shut up!" Someone in a latex suit was sneaking behind them. "You know, I never made it to the 6th grade...and it doesn't look like you're gonna either." Joker smiled even scarier. Then they hear a loud whip crack in the air and turn to see that it came from none other than....Catwoman! "Let him go!" She spoke. "Catwoman? What's she doing in Smallville?" Harley asked herself. "Flash, run!" Flash dashed off, and Joker was trying to shoot her, but the gun was covered in varnish making it impossible to shoot. "Shoot her! Shoot her! Shoot her!" Harley demanded. "I'm trying!" Joker shouted. Then Catwoman tosses a bucket of cat litter all over them. A huge group of cats scrambled all over them and started climbing all over them and nibbling them. Catwoman blows a kiss and takes her leave. Flash gets out firecrackers, lights a match and lights up the fireworks and runs off. The fireworks exploded as the police showed up. The squad rushes to the area where it was coming from. At last, they see Joker and Harley Quinn on the ground. They grab the two jokesters and find the bag they have. They find the pictures that were taken by Flash and the tape where it had the recordings of what they said. "You two should’ve started earlier. The prisoners already exchanged gifts." The cop said. "We missed the presents? He made us hide in the store and steal the kiddies’ charity money." Harley ratted themselves out. "Shut up, Harley!" Joker hit her on the hip. " You've got the right to remain silent, ya know." "He's a little cranky. We just broke out of the Arkham Asylum a few days ago." "Shut up, Harley! Jeez!" "Get them out of here!" "We're gonna make sure you two get shipped off back to Arkham, where you belong." Another cop said. "Remember, If this makes the papers... ...we’re no longer the Crime Couple, we’re the Sticky Couple." Harley continued. Meanwhile, Mr. Pear inspects the Crime Couple' damage to his store. "Well, Mr. Pear, it's all over with. We apprehended the thieves and recovered your money." A cop told him. "Good. I want to get that money over to the Children's Hospital as soon as possible." Mr. Pear replied. An inspector walks up to him with a note. "Excuse me, Mr. Pear? I found this note. Looks like a kid broke your window." Mr. Pear looks at the note which was written by Flash. "Dear Mr. Pear, I broke your window to catch the bad guys. I'm sorry. Do you have insurance? If you don't, I'll send you some money, if I ever get back to Chicago. Merry Christmas, Flash Sentry. P.S.: Thanks for the turtle doves." Grand Pear smiled, he realized Flash was grateful for the Turtle Doves he gave him. "Turtle doves. Oh..."
Another Christmas ReunionCelestia was running around the streets of the city, trying to ask if anyone saw Flash. Then she noticed a police car nearby, she went and knocked on the glass window as the officer rolled the window down. "I'm looking for my son. He's been missing for two days." Celestia told the officer. "Have you filed a report?" The cop asked. "Then trust us. We'll handle it." "Oh. I'm his mother." "I realize that ma'am, but you're looking for a needle in a haystack." "Do you have kids?" "Yes, ma'am." "And what would you do if one of them was missing?" "I'd probably be doing the same thing you're doing. Listen, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go?" "Me? I'd probably be lying dead in a gutter somewhere. Oh, but not Kevin. No. Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am. And I know Kevin's fine. I'm sure he is. But he's still all by himself in a big city, and he doesn't deserve that. He deserves to be at home, with his family, around his Christmas tree." Celestia paused and then realizes something. "Oh, my Gosh. I know where he is! I need to get to Rockefeller Center." She ordered. "Hop in." Meanwhile, Flash was looking a huge Christmas tree with lights that was feet far away from him. "I know I don't deserve a Christmas even if I did do a good deed." He said to the tree. " I don't want any presents. Instead, I want to take back every mean thing I ever said to my family...even if they don't do the same. I don't care. I love all of them. Including Snips. If I can't see all of them, could I just see my mother? I'll never want another thing, ever. I just want my mother. I know it won't be tonight...but promise me I can see her again. Sometime. Anytime. Even if it's just once and only for a few minutes. I need to tell her I'm sorry." "Flash?" He turns to see his mom. "Mom? That worked fast!" Celestia ran over to him and paused for a second. "Oh, Flash." "Mom, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry too." Then they smiled at each other and hug. "Merry Christmas, Mom." "Merry Christmas, sweetheart." It was another warming mother and son moment on Christmas Eve. "How’d you know I was here?" Flash asked. "I know you and Christmas trees, and this is the biggest." Celestia answered. "Where's everyone else?" "At the hotel. They didn't like palm trees either." Next morning, it was snowing and guys from Grand Pear's Toy Chest were emptying a truck full of gifts. In the hotel room, the whole family was sleeping. That was until Tender Hooves woke up and see's the light at the window. "Holy smokes, it's morning!" He said. "It's Christmas morning, man." "Tender, don't get your hopes up." Flash told him, awake. "Don't think Santa visits hotels." "Are you nuts? He's omnipresent. He goes everywhere." Tender leaps up. " Wake up, it's Christmas! Mom! Dad! It's Christmas!" He races around the room to tell everyone. Everyone raced up to upper room. As they made it to the top, they were shocked at what they see. It was not only a Christmas tree, but there were also a lot of presents, enough for the whole family. "Mom! Dad! You gotta see this!" Flash called. Celestia and Sombra came out to see the whole surprise. "Oh my gosh!" "Sombra!" All the kids raced to open their presents. Snips see's the tag of who and where the presents came from. "Who's Mr. Pear?" "Pear? I don't know." "Everybody, calm down. Calm down!" Snips announced as everyone paused. " Now...if Flash hadn't screwed up in the first place, again...we wouldn't be in this most perfect...and huge hotel room with all this free stuff. So...I think it only fair that Flash get to open the first gift. Then I'll go and the rest of you and so on. Merry Christmas, Flash." "Merry Christmas, Snips." "Merry Christmas, Flash." Everyone else said. "Enough gooey sh...Show of emotion. Everyone, let's dig in!" Everyone started opening their presents one by one. While Flash was opening his present, he looks at the Turtle Doves on the tree as ornaments. Then he had an idea. Outside, Selina Kyle was at the park with her cats. Flash was running through the park to right where she is. "Selina! Selina!" He called. "Flash! Merry Christmas!" She greeted. "I got something for you." Flash takes her hand and opens it to put one of the Turtle Doves in her hand. "What's this?" She asked. "It's a turtledove. I have one. You have one." He explained. "As long as we each have a turtledove, we'll be friends forever." "Oh, Flash. Thank you." Selina smiled. "I won't forget you. Trust me." They both hug. Back in the hotel, Ragamuffin came knocking on the door. Snips came to the door. "The room service bill, sir. Merry Christmas." Snips takes the bill as Ragamuffin was expecting a tip. And once again he gets gum. Snips see's how much Flash has spent on room service. "Merry Christmas indeed. Oh, Dad!" Outside.... "FLASH!!!!!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE?!?!?!" Flash hears it and runs off. It maybe another time of trouble, it is still another happy Christmas ending.
Merry ChristmasAfter Flash finished his story, everyone cheered at his succussed story. "That was entertaining, my programming doesn't know anything about Christmas movies." Glamrock Freddy said. "You know, I thought this story was gonna be lame. But this is way greater than that." Monty Gator said. Everyone glared at him. "What?" "I think you've once again set another entertainment on Christmas." Leo grinned. Flash blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Thanks, guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it." Twilight Sparkle stepped forward, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Flash, that was amazing! You really have a talent for storytelling." "Yeah, you should do this more often," Sunset Shimmer added, giving him a thumbs-up. "Maybe we can make it a tradition," Mikey suggested, munching on a slice of pizza. "Flash's Christmas stories every year!" "Hey guys, I got the VCR working again!" Donnie announced. Everyone turned their attention to Donnie, who was holding up the now-functioning VCR with a triumphant grin. "Awesome! Now we can finish our movie night," Leo said with a grin. "Yeah, but don't you think we've had enough of Home Alone?" Mikey asked, munching on a slice of pizza. "Well, we can always watch a different movie," Twilight suggested, glancing at the collection of VHS tapes they had brought with them. But Pinkie shoves right in and pulls out another movie "Dibs on Elf." She shouted. Everyone laughed at Pinkie's enthusiasm. "Elf it is, then!" Leo said, popping the tape into the VCR. As the movie started, they all settled in, cozy and content, ready to enjoy another Christmas classic together. Later, Mikey was in his elf outfit and was sitting on the seat of a piano. He begins playing the keyboard. Mikey: White chocolate lattes, snow on the ground Mistletoe hallways, but you're not around Seems like everyone got somebody When you're alone (when you're alone, oh) December is freezin', that's nothin' new The only thing different, there's no me and you Seems like everyone got somebody When you're alone (when you're alone) And it's not the date, or time of year It's all the ones you love, all here No, it's not the movies, or the songs It's only you, I want How can it be Christmastime if we're not together?

Late to the airport, our flight was delayed Baby, we'd get there sooner if we had a sleigh Somethin' 'bout holidays make every memory sweet And it's not the date, or time of year It's all the ones you love, all here No, it's not movies, or the songs It's only you, I want How can it be Christmastime if we're not together?

How can it be Christmastime if we're not together? How can it be Christmastime if we're not together? Meanwhile, everyone was enjoying hot cocoa and giving each other presents (Even Cassie and Gregory). Even for the Glamrock animatronics, they gave their gifts to their human friends and they gave gifts to them. Chica opened hers. "Oh my gosh! A pair of Roxy ears!" She gasped. "Thank you, Sweetheart!" "No problem, Chica." Sweetheart replied. She picked out a second pair. They all tried them on. "Now we're Roxy twins!" Chica grinned. "Hey, Roxy!" Roxy turned to them. "We look just like you now. Isn't that great." Roxy began to suppress ao. She grabbed them and gave them a bear hug while waging her tail. "Never take them off!" She powdered. "You guys are so cute!" The two duos grinned. In a city where it was snowing on a lovely Christmas, a man in glasses was watching out the window. "Hey, Clark!" Called a woman named Lois. "Bruce just send a greeting card." He walks over to receive the card. He opens the card to see it was actually a picture of the Rainbooms, Turtles, and the rest of the team. Even the Glamrock Animatronics. In elf outfits, Santa Claus hats, and Clark was shocked, but then he smiled. "Bruce, you really did have strange and wonderful friends," he said, chuckling. Lois looked at the picture and laughed. "They certainly know how to spread holiday cheer." Clark placed the card on the mantle, next to their other Christmas decorations. "It's nice to know that even in different dimensions, the spirit of Christmas brings everyone together." Lois nodded, wrapping her arms around Clark. "Merry Christmas, Clark." "Merry Christmas, Lois," he replied, pulling her close as they watched the snow fall outside. It was a wonderful time of the year for joy, laughter, and togetherness. And there will always be another time to create more cherished memories. THE END Author's Note Trivia: .Mikey's song is "How can it be Christmas" by Johnny Orlando Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎅🤶🎄
