''Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the castle, not a soul was stirring, not even a guard, the castle had automated defense systems for late nights and holidays so the guards could have sleep.
Stockings hung over the library fireplace with care, and when opened that morning would bring some surprises. For those expecting these lines to rhyme you're reading the wrong persons story so go somewhere else. Wreck it Ralph was sleeping in a room specifically made for him, with the biggest bed vanellope could find, which Ralph liked. Vanellope and rancis slept peacefully in the master bedroom while Kit and Fudge were bundled up in their bedroom. Their kids mocho and cinnamon slept peacefully, though cinnamon had made an effort to cover the door crack on her door, not wanting anyone, especially the twins, to learn she slept with a night light still.
The twins were bundled up in their rooms, too excited to sleep yet they forced themselves to sleep, hugging their favorite plush toys, they dreamed about what could they be getting for Christmas. They were able to stay asleep until 5 am. Lucy was the first to wake up, and she was thirsty. Rubbing her eyes, she looked at her stuffed pony she slept with
"Merry Christmas Fluttershy" Lucy said quietly
Lucy sat up in bed and looked out her window, the games internal clock didn't raise the sun at least til 6:30, so outside the view was a night sky with twinkling stars. She put on her my little pony rainbow dash slippers as well as a white and purple robe, then walked to the kitchen for a glass of milk. She wondered if Kevin was up yet, though she was sure he probably was. Every Christmas they woke up at this time, and while they couldn't open presents til 7, they did hang out and do stuff, mostly she watched Kevin play video games or they watched something on Netflix, whatever they felt like at the time.
After getting her drink, she walked back to her bedroom and checked her phone which lied under her pillow, she noticed she had a text from Kevin.
'Hey sis, you up yet?'
'Yes' she texted back
'Wanna watch that toy show on Netflix we like while we wait for mom and dad to wake up?' Kevin texted.
'I'll glitch right over' Lucy texted
Lucy stuffed her phone in her robe pocket, grabbed her pony toy and glitched into Kevin's room next door. She climbed into his bed and made herself comfortable next to him.
"I'll watch your pony episode if we can watch my transformers episode" said Kevin
"Deal, you can go first" said Lucy
Meanwhile in kit and fudges guest room somewhere else in the castle not too long later, Kit and fudge were nestled comfortably under their covers sleeping, Kit occasionally kicking his leg. It wasn't long til Kit yawned and stretched himself awake. He looked at the clock on his bedside table and saw it was 5:45, it was time for Christmas to begin with his family. He threw the covers off himself and, as he did every year, started hopping up and down on his wife to wake her up.
"Fudgey wake up wake up it's Christmas morning" Kit Said excitedly
Fudge grabbed him and sat up smiling.
"Merry Christmas to you too" Said Fudge
As fudge rubbed her eyes awake, kit ran to wake his kids, who were never too impressed he hopped on them to wake them up. After everyone was awake, they all went down to the throne room to start their first Christmas morning tradition, decorate their Christmas tree. When they got to the throne room, they were surprised at the huge amount of gifts Vanellopes family had gotten.
'Those twins are too spoiled' cinnamon thought to herself
The family looked at their own tree, and to their surprise, there were gifts underneath. This was surprising as normally they couldn't afford gifts of their own. At first they thought it was a mistake, that presents for vanellopes family accidentally ended up under theirs, but upon closer inspection, they saw that the gifts were for them.
"Well this is certainly a surprise" Said Fudge
"We'll open them after our tree is finished" Said Kit
Big cardboard boxes lied by their tree, and inside were ornaments and decorations the smorelines had sent ahead of time. They all dug into the box and began pulling things out, and began their decorating. Cinnamon eyed a really big but badly wrapped gift behind their tree, it was a gift to her from Lucy of all people.
"Do I really want to know what this thing is?" Cinnamon asked herself
"Maybe it's something great, look at the size of this thing" Said Mocho
"Lucy doesn't even like me, why would she bother getting me something nice, assuming this is something nice" said Cinnamon
For the next hour, the smorelines decorated their tree full of ornaments and different things they had in their decoration boxes. When the time came at 7 am, Rancis and Vanellope walked to Kevin's bedroom to get their kids. They knocked on the door, but were surprised when they got no answer. They opened the door and saw their kids had fallen asleep while watching a toy history show on Netflix on Kevin's tv. Rancis turned off Kevin's tv and the 2 racers looked at their kids.
"They look so cute together sleeping. Should we wake them?" Rancis Asked
"It's what they've been waiting for. But we'll be gentle" said Vanellope
The 2 went to different sides of the bed and gently shook their kids.
"Princess, its time to wake up" Rancis said to Lucy
"Wake up my little Autobot, it's Christmas morning" Vanellope said to Kevin
Both twins yawned and rubbed their eyes.
"Merry Christmas kids" said Vanellope
"Merry Christmas mom and dad" the twins said at the same time
"Breakfast is being prepared, but while that's happening, it's time to open presents." Said Vanellope
"We'll let you 2 wake up, you know where we'll be" Said Rancis
Rancis and Vanellope left the bedroom while the twins rubbed their eyes to get fully awake.
"Can't believe we fell asleep" Said Lucy
"A little extra sleep never hurt anybody" Said Kevin
Kevin hopped out of his bed and threw on a dark blue robe and a pair of sonic the hedgehog slippers.
"Come on sis, it's present time" said Kevin
Lucy hopped out of Kevin's bed, slipped into her slippers and ran for the throne room where the smorelines were finishing their tree.
"All done" said Fudge
"Merry Christmas smorelines" said the twins
"And Merry Christmas to you too prince and princess" Said Kit
"Hope you like our gifts to you" Said Kevin
"We shall see. I'm curious as to what this giant thing you gave me is, Lucy" said Cinnamon
"Open it and find out" Said Lucy
Cinnamon tore off the terribly wrapped wrapping paper to reveal what looked like a motorcycle, but it didn't have a seat. It was all black and had what looked like 2 guns sticking from its sides.
"Well what do you think?" Asked Lucy
"What the heck is this thing?" Cinnamon asked
"You seriously don't know what it is? I see them in the junkyard every time I go in there" Said Lucy
"Seriously what is it?" Cinnamon asked
"It's a mototerminator" said Lucy
"You gave me a terminator? First of all, why? And what makes you think I'd want one to begin with?" Cinnamon asked
"Well I don't expect you to ever turn it on or maybe ride it. I know you love that motocross bike of yours and this thing is more or less related to it. I found it in the kart junkyard and I figured maybe you could use it for parts, or maybe fix it and ride it, I don't know" Said Lucy
"Ok then, thanks I guess" said Cinnamon
Lucy smiled and then ran for her presents along with Kevin, wondering what they should open first. Ralph entered the throne room where Vanellope greeted him with a hug
"Merry Christmas stink brain. You like the gift I left in your room?" Vanellope Asked
"It's great, though I've never needed shoes before" Said Ralph
"How can you stand walking on the ice cream snow? Trust me Ralph, those shoes are better for your feet, especially this time of year" Said Vanellope
"Well thanks kid, I appreciate it" Said Ralph "So kids enjoying their Christmas?"
"They seem to be" Said Vanellope
"Wow, Omega Supreme" Said Kevin as he showed off a big transformer box "He's just who I wanted"
"I got a new toy kart" Said Lucy
"I bet there's also more ponies hidden in there somewhere" Said Kevin
"I'm sure there are" Said Lucy as she scanned her presents
"Wow a tie fighter, sweet" said Kevin
The smorelines seemed to enjoy their presents, each relating to stuff they liked. Kit got weights and flower and science related stuff, fudge new dresses and cook books, cinnamon tools and toy karts among other toys the twins thought she'd might like, they didn't know her well in that regard. Screwball got chew toys which she liked, and Mocho got video games and books and toys. He picked up a present from Kevin.
"You got me a gift?" Mocho asked him curiously
"Mom said I had to. Maybe you'll like it, I hope you do anyway" Said Kevin
Mocho tore open the wrapping paper to his gift and was a little scared of what it was but also confused, in 1980's style packaging was as the box called a 'Heroic Autobot', Autobot leader Optimus Prime. He looked at Kevin.
"Before you say anything, I know you have a weird thing against machines, but this is a good robot, he's the protector of all that is good, believes all life is worth protecting, even yours. He's my cartoon hero, and a good role model. Plus it's 4 toys in one a truck and trailer and robot and command center that's awesome" said Kevin
"Well thanks Kevin, I'll play with it maybe later" said Mocho as he slid the box behind him
"Open your other one" said Kevin
Mocho did just that and saw a sonic the hedgehog plush which he instantly hugged.
"I love this" Said Mocho
"Glad you at least like one of my toys to you" Said Kevin
"My gift to you's in my room mocho, I'll give it to you after breakfast" Said Lucy
"Oh we won't be joining you for breakfast, we usually don't eat til dinner on Christmas" Said Kit
"Well this year will be different, you gotta join us. Trust us, just this once I guarantee you'll like our Christmas breakfast" Said Kevin
"At least stay for a few bites" Said Lucy
"Well, ok, that won't hurt our schedule" Said Kit
Mocho approached Lucy with a small gift behind his back
"I got you something Lucy" Said Mocho
"Mocho you didn't have to get me anything" Said Lucy
"Neither did you, your friendships more than enough a gift for me. Hope you like this, made it myself" Said Mocho
He pulled out a blanket from behind his back which he draped over the princess.
"Can never have too many blankets, especially since it's so cold out" Said mocho
"Thanks mocho, I love it" Said Lucy
Mocho smiles hearing that. The twins opened their presents from their friend Natasia, Lucy had gotten a Pokemon, as well as a note explaining what exactly it was since Lucy wasn't into anime like she was. Kevin had gotten a simple LEGO Star Wars set, nothing too special. Kevin's friend Jr got him a cool Star Wars helmet, while he got Lucy just a simple pony toy. By the time half the gifts were opened by everyone, sour bill came into the room wearing a Santa hat.
"Breakfast is served" Said Bill
"Already? Wow that's quicker than last year" Said Rancis
"Come on lets eat" Said Kevin
Everyone went to the castle dining room and took their seats as castle chefs wheeled out a huge amount of food which surprised but impressed the smorelines. There was bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes and waffles, fruits and hash browns, cans of whipped cream, milk and juices, it all looked delicious.
"You made this much just for us?" Asked Kit
"No, this is how big our breakfasts are every Christmas, perks of being royalty. Of course we can't eat it all and there's leftovers, but with you here there should be none this year" Said Vanellope
"Well I don't know about you but I'm sure hungry" Said Ralph
"Well then dig in everyone" Said Vanellope
