The 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?"
