"Ah, Christmas..." A snowman smiled as he sat in a chair next to the fireplace while holding a book. "Everyone looks forward to the holidays! But can you imagine for a moment Christmas never happening? Well, I remember long ago, The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, took place at a place called... The North Pole!"

Santa was shown to be smiling as he was writing on his list. Even the elves were singing and putting the presents in the sleigh.

"So, are we almost ready?" Santa smiled, sounding a lot like Mr. Luzinsky.

"Yes, Master!" An elf replied.

"Oh, splendid," Santa smiled. "Soon, children all over the world will-" he then did a double take at the 'elf'. "Wait a second... Aren't you a little tall to be an elf? In fact... I don't think I know you!"

The elf was soon revealed to be Boskov and Hector.

"Maybe this will help!" Hector said before Boskov whacked the elf dummy against Santa. "ATTACK!"

General Skarr and the other workers began to invade and attack the North Pole, and among them was a girl named Brooke who was the young niece of Major Doctor Ghastly.

"Protect the presents!" Santa cried out.

The elves and Santa were attacked by the snow and there was no way to get out.

"You monster!" Santa glared.

"Hi, Santa, my name is Brooke!" Brooke smiled and waved, a bit obliviously. "Uncle Hector thought maybe you weren't real!"

"Oh, hello, little girl," Santa said to her. "I feel sorry for you to get mixed up in something like this."

"Sorry, Santa," Major Ghastly said, holding out the helmet with Hector in her hands before she put it on Santa's head, controlling his mind. "Chief?"

"Uncle Hector?" Brooke added.

Santa's body was soon controlled by the evil brain.

"Yes, ladies, I am now Santa Claus!" Hector laughed as he looked in a mirror that General Skarr held out for him. "This will work perfectly. No one will be able to stop me!"

The elves were all tied up as the workers began to put weapons inside of the toys.

"Now that I have been inserted inside of Santa's body, the troops can proceed with inserting the mind control devices I will have an unstoppable army!" Hector beamed.

"But Uncle Hector, that's not what Christmas is all about." Brooke pouted.

"You're young," Hector told her. "You will learn."

The snowman from earlier, but younger as this was a story, was watching this from a cliff and looked shocked. "I gotta do something!" he then told himself before he then pulled out a sled and started sledding down to a cave and went inside.

Brooke began to walk off and she seemed to go with the snowman.

Inside was a buff looking reindeer with a green nose as he lifted weights. "296... 297... 298... 299... 300! ...Million." he then said as he sat up after he was done.

"Rupert, something terrible has happened!" The snowman told the green-nosed reindeer. "Someone's taken over Santa's mind and the North Pole! They plan to put mind-controlling devices in all the presents to take over the world!"

"That doesn't concern me," Rupert replied darkly. "Ever since the other reindeer shunned me from playing any Reindeer Games, I've chosen to live here in isolation."

"Don't you see, Rupert?" The snowman frowned. "Now's your chance to shine! You could go down in history as the reindeer who saved Christmas!"

"Saving Christmas!" Brooke smiled to Rupert.

"What...?" Rupert asked as that touched him before looking down. "Who are you, little girl?"

"My name is Brooke," Brooke said. "I'm sorry about my Uncle Hector, but he promised I could see the North Pole, but I didn't know he was gonna destroy Christmas for everyone. How was I to know he'd ruin everything with his plans on taking over the world, especially during the holidays?"

"She's probably the only one of them who's innocent." The snowman said to Rupert.

"All right, you can come." Rupert allowed.

"All right!" Brooke cheered.

Rupert then flew off like a Powerpuff Girl with Brooke on his back so that they could both save Christmas for everyone.

Hector had taken over the whole North Pole which was a grim sight and future for the little girls and boys all over the world.

"Stay close, kid." Rupert told Brooke as they were going to sneak over to Hector's workshop.

Brooke nodded as both of them were disguised as a tree. They hopped around until they came next to one of the workers.

"I say, that is one ugly Christmas tree," The worker commented before calling out. "Hey, Diedrich! Come take a look at this really ugly Christmas-"

Rupert then clonked him on the head with his hoof, knocking him out and getting to the doors with Brooke before standing still to blend in as the doors opened up.

"There's nothing to worry about," General Skarr said to Major Doctor Ghastly. "He said the strange monsters will go away with time. You don't know how relieved I was."

"Phew! That was close." Brooke sighed to herself.

Rupert grabbed the door before it could close and they rushed inside.

"Keep those mind-controlling devices, a-comin'!" Hector told his workers.

"Uncle Hector, stop!" Brooke cried out.

"Brooke!" Hector glared to the young girl.

Rupert soon began to beat up the workers who came to him as an alarm was sound.

"Uncle Hector, you can't ruin Christmas!" Brooke frowned. "Think of all the little children like me!"

"You'll thank me later." Hector said to her.

"Uncle Hector..." Brooke pouted.

"Enough!" Hector told her. "All of you, stop that deer!"

The workers then came to handle Rupert the green-nosed reindeer, but he was much stronger than they all were. Brooke stood behind Santa and Hector as the workers tried to get Rupert, but he showed that he was strong for a reindeer.

"Pile in the snowballs!" Hector commanded.

The workers then shot their weapons which shot snowballs at Rupert, trapping him into a snow trap.

Hector soon let out a dark laugh. "With you out of the way, there's nothing that can stop me from taking over the world!"

"Take control of yourself, Santa!" Rupert cried out. "Fight this mind control!"

"It's no use," Hector replied darkly. "Santa Claus is completely under my control!"

"Santa Claus, please!" Brooke cried out. "The children of the world are depending on you!"

Santa began to look emotional before he suddenly grabbed a hold of the brain jar on his head.

"W-What's happening?!" Hector yelped.

"The children!" Santa cried out as he got rid of Hector. "I'm taking my body back!"

"GUARDS! ATTACK!" Hector called out as his jar broke on the ground and he slithered away. "Brooke, you are grounded for 1,000 years!"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Hector, but I don't want you to ruin Christmas." Brooke frowned.

The guards hit Santa with snowballs, but they bounced right back, hitting them.

"FALL BACK INTO THE SHIP!" Hector commanded.

Boskov soon picked up Hector and put him back in place.

"We gotta deliver the toys to the children!" Hector told them as they ran back into their tank.

They began to fly off and took off.

"Chief! We forgot Brooke!" Major Doctor Ghastly gasped.

"We'll come back for her after we deliver the toys!" Hector told her.

"Rupert, the toys!" Santa cried out.

"They're loaded with mind control devices!" Brooke added in.

"I'm afraid she's right." Santa agreed.

"These people have no honor!" Rupert glared before he soon flew off after Hector and the others.

"I'll just have to drop off these toys myself!" Hector laughed.

Brooke held onto Rupert as they flew after Hector in the sky. Rupert then used his nose's magic to cut a hole in the aircraft and the reindeer soon came inside with the little girl.

"Rupert!" Hector gasped. "Guards, stop him!"

The guards tried to stop him, but he beat them up and grabbed the sleigh.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, SUCKERS!" Rupert yelled out before jumping with the sleigh.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Rupert!" Brooke called out to the reindeer.

The craft soon crashed behind the mountains as Rupert gave the sleigh back to Santa and his elves.

"Rupert, with your muscles and might, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Santa smiled to the strong reindeer.

"It will be my honor." Rupert smiled back.

"Yaaay!" The elves cheered to that.

"And so ends the story of Christmas that almost wasn't..." The snowman muttered as he was just a head now from melting. "So, what happened to Hector?"

We are soon shown Bunny Island as it had snowed.

It was Christmas Day, and Hector, Boskov, General Skarr, and Major Doctor Ghastly all got coal for presents while Brooke was given a brand new dolly.

"Coal again this year." General Skarr complained.

"Ho, ho, ho!" Santa smiled. "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Santa." Brooke wished.

"Bah!" Hector complained. "I've always liked Halloween better."

The cartoon then ended and a black screen came up with writing that said: Merry Christmas is a trademark of the X-mas Corporation and should not be repeated without written permission.

The audience then clapped and cheered as another cartoon ended.

"This is turning out to be a wonderful Christmas." The Beast smiled to Belle.

"We finished our house." One of the Three Little Pigs added as he made an igloo with his brothers.

"I knew Mickey wouldn't let us down!" Ariel giggled to Prince Eric.

"It's good to see that a Merry Christmas is being had by all." Jafar chuckled as even he was having a good time.

"So Donald, you feeling jolly yet?" Mickey asked hopefully.

"I say..." Donald smiled at first before glaring. "Humbug!"

Everyone glared angrily at the duck, except for Grumpy from the Seven Dwarfs who looked happy for once. The fox that attacked Prince John earlier is sitting on Irma's lap growled at the duck too.

"Not yet, kit, maybe later." Irma cooed to the fox, giving it a gentle pet as it looked like it wanted to attack Donald.

"I did everything I could think of," Mickey pouted as he walked off. "I guess Donald's just never going to have the Christmas spirit."

"Whoa... That's a major bummer," Mike commented. "Mickey Mouse feeling sad."

"Hey, Sis, how come he doesn't like Christmas?" Naruto asked Irma.

"He's like this every year," Irma shrugged. "I don't know why."

"Poor Mickey." Will frowned for the mouse in charge.

"Hm... Maybe I should go talk with Mickey." Mike suggested.

"If you want," Will replied. "I've never seen him this down before, not even wen Mortimer Mouse tries to steal Minnie from him."

"I'll be right back, guys." Mike said as she came outside to see the mouse while everyone began to feel moody themselves since Donald ruined their Christmas Eve with his behavior.

"Great, now I wanna punch someone." Spinelli glared.

Everyone's eyes widened and took a step back from the girl.

"Spinelli, it's the holidays, Santa is watching." Mikey told her peacefully.

"I don't care!" Spinelli snapped. "I'm just so angry!"

"Just don't hit me," Zack said. "I'm too handsome."

Cody just rolled his eyes at his twin brother. Mike soon came outside as Mickey sulked over Donald on the roof.
