SLAPPY: That's it, I'm stuffin' dynamite down yer pants!

[Slappy lunges forward, but a shield of ice erupts in front of her. It expands into a huge transparent barrier between the good guys and the evil villain.]

SCULDER: [Taking notes] Hmm... telekenetic control of ice. Gotta remember to put that in the case file! [Mulley whacks Sculder over the head.]

FIGURE: Come now, it's a tradition! None of you will learn who I am until the very last possible minute! Now I must leave you to be attacked by more pointless ninja-thugs!

(ANNOUNCER: Historic footnote: the first time the phrase ninja-thug was used in a fanfic...coined by our very own proud writer, Romey!)

(Cut to a shot of Romey...or rather, an empty room. We zoom in on a note left in a chair, reading Out to Class...Do Not Disturb, Bother, or Bring Up This Contribution to the Fanfic Universe...cut back to the story...)

[The figure turns around to exit, but he sees that all the other characters are *RIGHT BEHIND HIM*!!!]

YAKKO: Sorry we had to resort to this, guys, but what else could we do?

AXEL: I suppose it's better than having to fight more of those thugs!

WAKKO: Aww...

PINKY: [Laughing hysterically] *WAHAHAHAHA*! Two places at---[Brain whaps Pinky on the head, shutting him up]

DOT: [Annoyed] Can we get going already?

(DOT: (Sighs) I suppose were going to devote actual space on this DVD to how that dumb gags pulled off?)

(YAKKO: Not until you brought it up, but since you *did*, lets!)

(DOT: (Puts her face into her hands, and moans))

(WAKKO: And doing the honors is gonna be...Brain and Billie!)

(Cut to ACME Labs once more...we see that our two genius mice are seated in front of a pile of papers loaded with calculations...both look exhausted. Pinkys heard rustling beneath the papers, giggling sporadically.)

(BRAIN: (Fur still thoroughly tussled) OK, so maybe your experience in black hole equations *partially* aided in trying to conclude what our origins are...)

(BILLIE: (Fur also thoroughly messed up) Well, Mr. space-time continuum expert, Ive brought in someone whos used to having his very origins retold beyond recognition...if he cant help us, no one can! Come on in!)

(We see enter the room SUPERMAN...)

(BRAIN: Hmph...the Man of Steel. Let me guess: youre going to tell us that we should be used to having muddled origins, given your experience in an industry where writing on a third-grade literacy levels considered prizeworthy?)

(SUPERMAN: Well, something like that...though I thought I was going to be here for a DVD feature on the usefulness of space-time distortion tricks when fighting villains.)

(BRAIN: (Shudders at the thought) I think not...especially with this more pressing debate on hand.)

(SUPERMAN: But itd only take a minute...)

(BRAIN: Not now...(walks away from Superman, but sees that hes suddenly standing right in front of him. Brain screams, while we hear the sound of Pinky laughing at this from off-screen...)

(SUPERMAN: See? With super-speed, it only took...a...moment. (Sees Brain looking furious) *Ahem*...well, then...)

(BRAIN: (Irate) Enough of this nonsense! Now that that idiocys out of the way, tell us your one, true, cohesive origin story so that I may prove my point to a certain misguided mouse...)

(SUPERMAN: Well, as you know, I was born on the planet Krypton, and launched to Earth as a baby when my home world blew up and no one heeded my biological fathers warnings of doom. Landed on Earth, gained superpowers under Earths yellow sun and lighter gravitational pull, etc...and here I am!)

(PINKY: (Head poking out from papers) HAHAHA...ooh, that gags still really funny...uh, wait, now I remember what I wanted to say...dont you remember when we found you as a baby? Oh, you were the cutest thing! Too bad you didnt like Baloney...)

(SUPERMAN: (Scratches his head) How can that be?! I landed on Earth around 30 years ago...Baloney couldnt have been on the air *then*!)

(PINKY: Well, maybe Brain used the labs personal computer to put it on the TV screen and...)

(SUPERMAN: *Personal computer*?! Not that many years ago...mustve been an experimental object of the labs or something...either that, or you guys truly *dont* age normally, like I expected. Between the time travel and such...like that time we saw each other when I was a baby...and a teenager...)

(BILLIE: Wait...what about your 60-plus years of comic book history?! With all those re-tellings of your origin story where the details keep changing? Besides, you *couldnt* have been a baby 30 years ago if you were created in the 1930s... I guess *you* dont age normally either, do you?)

(SUPERMAN: Um...youll have to ask DC Comics about that one, I suppose...between all the rewrites of my origins, the handwaving, and the use of parallel Earths and alternate timelines as a continuity explanation point, even *I* get confused...)

(PINKY: You dont really have an answer to give us, then, do you? POIT!)

(SUPERMAN: (Frowns) Um...er...*no*.)

(BILLIE: (Rubbing the sides of her forehead) Sorry we called you in here, then...um...care to give another demonstration of space-time distortion tricks before you leave? (Brain does a quick-flare temper buildup, a la his irate appearance in the PatB title scene) Er, never mind...)

(SUPERMAN: Thats OK, Miss Billie...besides, Ive, er, got a few things to think about... (Walks out, muttering But the *Kents* found me first...but the mice claim to have been there first...and how *could* Brain have used a computer 30 years ago?!? (Grips the sides of his head) My head hurts...)

(PINKY: Never thought Id hear Superman say *that*, NARF!)

(BRAIN: Gah! What a waste of time...that settled *nothing*!)

(BILLIE: No kiddin...)

(Both genius mice stare at each other briefly, before resuming their argument over their origins...Pinky dives back into the papers, and swims through them while giggling all the while.)

ARNOLD: Now ve have you cornered, Mista Evil person! Prepare to be terminated!

SNOW MISER: Now *I'll* put the freeze on *you*!

[Brain moans.]

FIGURE: Let's see you try!

[Another ice barrier erupts between him and the heroes.]

FLASH: Stand back, I'm going to molecularly vibrate through the ice!

(YAKKO: And violate about a half-dozen laws of physics in the process...)

[The figure snaps his fingers: The ice at Flash's feet gives way, and he plunges into the cold Arctic water. Plastic Man jumps in to save him.]

(DOT: Guess the other writers werent as big of superhero fanboys as Brainatra is, with the way Flash keeps getting sidelined...)

FIGURE: Now I wish you all farewell!

[The figure pulls out a remote with a big red button on it. The hovering probe which the mice saw earlier crashes through the ceiling. The figure grabs it and is lifted to safety. Once he's gone, the toys teleport out of the room.]

TIM: Hey guys?

EVERYONE: Yeeeees?!

TIM: I've been checking out the architecture of this place, and I don't think it's stable anymore...

[Everything begins to shake.]

BILLIE: Nobody panic! I have a plan...

ELFY: [Cheerful] Does it involve me singing again?

BILLIE: *NO!!!*

[The ice barriers the figure made all crack away due to the room's caving in.]

BILLIE: My plan is pretty simple, actually...is the Flash out of the water yet?

[Pan over to see that both Plas and the Flash are finally out of the water; both heroes look rather chilled.]

FLASH: T-thanks, Plas...

PLAS: Ah, don't mention it, Speedy!

BILLIE: Flash, I need you to vibrate your molecular structure again, with all of us holding hands as before! Warners, I also need you to do that amusing "two places at once" bit while Flash is vibrating, and Elfy, we need you to use your [Rolls her eyes] "Christmas magic"!

DOT: [Sighs, and rolls her eyes] Sure, why not? At least it'll only be the *third* time that tired gag's been done in this thing...

FLASH: No problem!

ELFY: OK! [Laughs oddly.]

[The ceiling continues to crumble, as all hold hands as before. Concurrently, we see the Flash is vibrating his molecular structure, "magical sparks" flying off of Elfy, and the Warners gritting their teeth in attempting to perform that repetitive spatial distortion trick. An odd glowing surrounds the group, as finallly the ceiling completely caves in. The group vanishes, just as the ceiling's remains hit the room's floor. Cut to the Arctic tundra outside, where we see the group rematerialize several yards away from the villain's caved-in lair. We also see the various snowmobiles, as well as the Freakmobile, present. Flash, Elfy, and the Warners all cease the usage of their trademark powers.]

FLASH: We made it!

F!: Yeah! But *how*?!

(YAKKO: Through really contrived writing and bad pseudo-science?)

BILLIE: I figured that a combination of Flash's vibratory powers, Elfy's magical materialization capacities, and the Warners' localized "two places at once" spatial distortion stunt would easily enable us to perform a minor teleportation function, as just seen! Simple, huh?

(YAKKO: What I said.)

F!: Ummm.....yeah. Come on, everyone, let's get going!

ELFY: I suppose I'd better get started again...[Elfy stuffs the yellow cloth back in his mouth, and begins beeping again. Yakko takes hold of him as before.]

YAKKO: Once more unto the breach! So to speak...

[The multiple cross-company-copyright-violating gathering of characters take off once more...cut to the mice.]

(YAKKO: Did we ever settle those multiple cross-company-copyright-violation lawsuits?)

(WAKKO: I took care of it!)

(DOT: Belching in their faces at top volume isnt gonna stop *lawyers*, Wakko...theyre a pretty hardy breed of...um...whatever they ares.)

(WAKKO: Oh.)

PINKY: Um, any idea who the villain might be, Brain? POIT!

BRAIN: Not really; though with the technology being used, including teleportation, being able to cull up shields of ice on a whim, and being able to obscure his personal features so that we couldn't see exactly who he was, the villain must have massive technological resources to draw from, or has connections to people with such resources!

BILLIE: But who could that be?

BRAIN: I'm not sure, but I have a sneaking hunch who it might be...

YAKKO: Hold it, everyone!

[The group all come to a sudden stop.]

ARNOLD: Vhy are ve stopping, little puppy-child?

YAKKO: I think Elfy's found something!

SLAPPY: Talent?

BRAIN: A real name?

AXEL: A personality?

YAKKO: Noooo...*that*!

[Yakko points ahead; we see what appears to be yet another cliched-looking villains' hideout, in the middle of the tundra.]

DOT: [Groan] Not again!

YAKKO: No, not that! *THAT!* [Points to the right of the building, where there's an alien ship sitting.]

FLASH: Oh my heavens. . .

(DOT: Aliens...in a *Christmas special*...you know, guys, these writers of ours sure are imaginative. I mean, most other fanfic writers would just feature us uncharacteristically obsessed with swearing and getting married in such fan-written stories, but not *these* guys...)

(YAKKO: Way to lay on the sarcasm, Dot...)

(DOT: Sorry...long story. (Pauses, then whips out a coffee from nowhere, and guzzles it down. Wakko looks longingly at it, before sighing))

SLAPPY: Alright, no time to gape now, guys! Let's break inta that ship and get the goods, already!

BRAIN: [Surprised] Why, Slappy! Usually you just sit around and grumble in these things! Why this sudden take-control nature?

SLAPPY: Take control nothin'! I'm missin' a special Christmas episode of 'Springer,' an' my bunions are killin' me! I wanta get this thing over with and go home! [Begins pounding on the door.]

SKIPPY: Oh, no, I think Aunt Slappy's lost it!

AXEL: I [bleep]in' hope not! The last [bleep]in' thing we need right now is a recap of that "One Flew Over the Cukoo Clock" [bleep]!

SLAPPY: Don't worry, I ain't lost it. . .

SCULDER: Stand back, Ms. Squirrel! UFO's are *MY* specialty! I'll find the way in! [He searches around for a few moments. Beside the door, there's one giant red button. He contemplates for a moment then pushes it, opening the door.]

SLAPPY: Brilliant. . .

MULLY: Well, let's go then! [The gang walks inside the ship. Inside, it's rather dark. They look around fearfully. Suddenly, a huge hulking thing walks out of the shadows. They're all scared stiff---but it's only Mo-Ron, from F!.]

MO-RON: [Speaking in his usual Stan Freberg voice.] Gaaahhhhh. . .I. . .am Mo-Ron. . .I have an important message for all mankind. . .

FREAKAZOID: Whoa, whoa, fella, you're ruining the mood! You're not even in this special! [Mo-Ron looks a bit dejected.] Awww. . .tell ya what, when all this is over, we'll go fer some mints together, OK?

MO-RON: 'K! [Walks off.]

[Everyone stares oddly at the Freak for a moment, then continues. They step into a larger room. Here, we see Eros & Tanna from "Plan 9 from Outer Space."]

TANNA: Eros, must we kill the humans? It seems such a waste!

EROS: Yes, Tanna. All the Earthlings care about is becoming stronger. Them and their stupid mortal minds! Stupid! Stupid! STUPID! [Noting our heroes for the first time.] And who are *YOU*?!

BRAIN: We have come to see whoever is behind the stealing of the toys from Santa's sleigh!

DOT: Oh, right, this is a *CHRISTMAS* special. . .I'd forgotten about that. . .

EROS: You cannot see the Ruler! No one gets in to see the Ruler!

[Freakazoid "freaks" into a Dorothy outfit.]

FREAKAZOID: But I'm Dorothy! The Witch's Dorothy!

[Eros looks rather bewildered.]

ARNOLD: Enuff! It ees time to take ak-shun, you wimpy cross-dressing mama's boy! [Slugs Eros.]

TANNA: Stop! Stop!!

ARNOLD: Stay out of this, little girly girl! My daddy told me never to hit a girl!

DOT: Then I'll do it! [Pops out a mallet and smashes the female alien to the floor.]

TIM: Onward, to glory!

(YAKKO: And to a TV-Y7 rating for fantasy violence...)

(DOT: Hey, that wasnt fantasy violence, it was gripping dramatic action! (Pauses) That or a cheap violent sight gag....)

BILLIE: Er. . .right. . .Mr. Sculder, can you figure out how to open the door?

BRAIN: Oh, what does he know---one side, my friend! [Jumps up on the control board that Sculder is looking at. He types in a bunch of keys. A large boxing glove pops out and smashes him.] [Beat up.] All yours. . .

[Sculder types in a random sequence of numbers. The message says, "ACCESS DENIED / TENGA ACCESO NEGADO / ACCEDEZ NIE / ACCESSYAY ENIEDDAY" He tries again, and this time it says "ACCESS GRANTED. HAVE A NICE DAY. / ACCESO CONCEDIDO. TENGA UN DIA AGRADABLE. / ACCES ACCORDE. AYEZ UN JOUR AGREABLE. / ACCESSYAY ANTEDGRAY. AVEHAY AYAY ICENAY AYDAY." Sculder grins at Mully, who stares unbelievingly. The door to the main room opens.]

(Cut to another tidbit with Craig...)

(CRAIG: Feh...stupid Brainatra. I thought he was going to salvage the accent marks in this part. But he *didnt*...and now, Ill feel the shame of this decision for as long as this story exists! Which could be a real long time...I mean, anything posted on the Internet gets sucked in and stays there...*forever*...and *ever*...and *ever*... (Panicks) AAAAH! Whyd I write all those goofy postings for the past 3 years?!? *WHY*?! (Turns to his computer) Delete...*DELETE*!)

[They all enter the room. Inside, it's pitch dark. It slides shut behind them.]

FIGURE: [At a desk in the shadows.] So, you have found my *TRUE* hideaway. Yes, this is the *REAL* one! No more stupid cliched tricks, I swear! Well, maybe one or two---but that's it! [Darkly] At any rate, let me just tell you that not one person who has ever entered here has come out alive.

WAKKO: What about you?

FIGURE: Well, aside from me. . .

DOT: But we don't even know who you are!

YAKKO: Yeah, you could be *ANYBODY*!

FIGURE: ENOUGH! I wasn't planning on you arriving here like this. But I did take the precaution, in case you did, to---

ELFY: [Out of nowhere.] YYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!! I'VE. . .GOT. . .TO. . .BREAK INTO SONG!

[Elfy suddenly begins singing. He's transported to a snowy wonderland, and as he sings, we see shots of him doing the various actions he sings about.]

ELFY: [Singing] There's no business like snow business
Like no business I know!
Throwing snowballs can be so appealing!
Making angels in the road when traffic's nil!
I just wish it could last forever!
I know I'll never
Get my fill!

There's no people like snowpeople
You build 'em, then knock 'em down!
When you steal your father's favorite hat
You know that
He'll look divine!
And even though you're freezing, it's minus 30
Your hands are dirty
You stay out in the snoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!
Now let's goooooooooooo oooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn with theeeeeeeeeeeeee shooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[Elfy returns to the villain's room magically. The general reaction of everyone in the room is staring at Elfy in a slack-jawed manner; Slappy looks incredibly annoyed, and the Warners, Skippy, Pinky, and Freakazoid do that innocuously cute big eye thing as they admire the elf's magic in pure wonder.]

SLAPPY: [Snapping everyone out of their trances.] Yeah, c'mon, let's git on with the show already! Sheesh. . .

FIGURE: Well, despite that pointless musical interlude, I'm afraid I must still do away with you. . .so. . .

[The figure pulls another remote device out from behind him. He pushes the big shiny red button on it. Warning sirens and flashing lights go into full effect as the room seals itself shut.]

FIGURE: Now I'm afraid I must go complete my evil scheme! I hope you enjoy your last moments on this world!

SLAPPY: [Pulls out a bulky legal document] Eh-hem! As sick as we all are of these stupid cliches, you're still contractually bound to reveal your plan before disposing of us, y'know!

FIGURE: And what are you going to do about it? Call your lawyer? Ha ha ha!

[The figure vanishes into nothingness.]

BRAIN: Nobody panic! We can get out of this like we did last time! Flash, Elfy, Warners, are you ready?

BILLIE: Wait!

BRAIN: What?

BILLIE: The metallic structure of this ship would scramble the teleportation field. We'd never survive!

PINKY: But umm... didn't that mysterious figure teleport out of here?

BILLIE: How *he* did that is a task for Sculder over there...

(YAKKO: Or another Brainatra-patented pseudo-science technobabble filled explanation...)

(Cut to Brainatra...)

(BRAINATRA: OK, I admit it, that reason was pretty stupid...as if the Flash alone didnt have a frightening power level as it was...though no dumber than that two places at once bit, I guess...or singing magic elves...or that stupid rotton eggnog line...or the idea of an Eddie Murphy movie character sharing screentime with three Warners cartoon characters and bringing on the Apocalypse by swearing and being obnoxious...but anyway, Im sure that the master villains transporter was designed to be the only teleportation means capable of breaching the ships metallic structure. End of explanation. (Pauses) Um...or something.)

SCULDER: I'll figure it out once we're safe outside, but right I think we have *bigger* concerns. Big, yellow concerns, that is.

(YAKKO: Hey, not *Big Bird*, too!)

(DOT: Besides, the Muppets already *had* their obtrusive cameos!)

MULLEY: Big "yellow" concerns? I think you need to lay off the sunflower seeds, Sculder...

DOT: No, he's right! *LOOK*!

[A door to the room has opened. Standing in the doorway is a giant yellow...]

YAKKO: Oh, no, it's...!

WAKKO: It's horrible!

DOT: It's ten feet tall!

TIM: It's big and plush!

FLASH: It's cute!

PLASTIC MAN: It's shocking!

ARNOLD: Eets on every keeds most vanted list!

SLAPPY: It's...eeeh, what da heck *is* that thing?

ELFY: Wait a sec! *I* know what it is! [He stuffs the yellow piece of cloth in his mouth, and begins to beep uncontrolably.] It's one of the stolen toys! But it's the one we probably should have known better than to make!

[The giant mechanical toy steps forward; we see that it's a robotic Pikachu doll. It emits a peculiar ticking sound.]

TOY: Piiiiiiiiiika?!

(WAKKO: I think Id rather see Big Bird... (his sibs nod))

AXEL: [Bleep]us [bleep], it's a giant [bleep]ing Pikachu! Those sons-of-[bleep]s!

ELFY: [Annoyed] Hey! Watch who you're callling...that phrase. Besides, it's not our fault every kid in the United States and Japan's been asking for that toy this year!

BRAIN: Not to mention the dubiousness of using Christ's name in vain in a *Christmas* special...do you want all those people who came down on your "P.J."'s show to come down on *this* special and *completely* destroy what little hope we had for "Wakko's Wish" to sell?

(YAKKO: Well, with the sales of that thing, I kind of doubt even Mr. Potty-Mouth couldve hurt it more than it already was....)

AXEL: [Pouts] Sorry; but it's just that I [bleep]ing hate P*k*mon!

DOT: Don't we all...

YAKKO: Hey, what's that ticking sound?

[A quick pan around the doll reveals that a bomb is located in the doll's back.]

PINKY: It's a bomb!

SLAPPY: Just like this endless special is!

DOT: OH NO! We're going to die!

[Suddenly, a figure bearing more than a passive resemblence to Mike Myers materializes out of nowhere in front of the heroes; it's Austin Powers!]

AUSTIN: Good thing that shaggy teleportation device I "borrowed" from Dr. Evil's lair worked, or I'd be shagged, like shagadelic, baby!

BRAIN: Great, more over-used catchprases!

DOT: And also nice to see that some stupid James Bond parody character is able to transport through that wall, but not *us* . . .

(Cut to Brainatra once more...hes engrossed in a copy of the Superman In the Seventies trade paperback....)

(BRAINATRA: Dont look at me, bubs...ask Capt. Caps for how Wayne there pulled off that teleportation trick... (goes back to his book))

(Cut to Capt. Caps, in his room at home...we see a turntable playing the soundtrack from Teen Wolf in the background...)

(CAPT. CAPS: Well, I thought Austin Powers was funny! Besides, its no dumber than that Flash cameo...at least more than six people actually know who *Austin Powers* is, unlike that Flash guy...)

(BRAINATRA: (Off-screen) HEY!)

AUSTIN: Yeah, baby, yeah! Biggie Smalls, ladies and gentlemen!

[Cut to Wakko at a set of drums, doing a rim shot, then cut back to Austin.]

AUSTIN: You're probably wondering what I'm doing here, right?

AXEL: Great, another [bleep]ing SNL castmember! Can't I escape them? [To Austin] Yeah, what the [bleep] are you doing here?

AUSTIN: All my groovy merchandise has been stolen, baby! So that means that there won't be any little kids this Christmas with dolls spouting randy overused catchprases!
You don't suppose that Dr. Evil has anything to do with this, do you?

[All of a sudden, Dr. Evil walks up from behind the heroes, who all scream.]

DR. EVIL: [To Austin] No, you twit! I don't have anything to do with this! My merchandise has been stolen also! And I was fortunate to be able to use my transportation device to follow you here, before that "self-destruct" device you attached to it went off! Anyway, if my merchandise was still in my lair, the sales would've totaled...

AXEL: One million [bleep]ing dollars! Yeah, we know the drill! Welcome to this [bleep]ing mission...now let's defuse the bomb! [To Slappy] Slappy, ya wanna defuse it for us? You're an expert on bombs!

SLAPPY: So would anyone else who's seen your performance in "Harlem Nights", heh...

(DOT: Or Life...)

(WAKKO: Or Vampire in Brooklyn...)

(YAKKO: Or half these fanfics to date....)

[Axel glares at Slappy. Slappy walks over to behind the giant Pikachu doll, and pulls on a few red wires. The doll teeters to a stop.]

SLAPPY: A cinch...it's always the red wire in these things!

DOT: Red? You sure you don't mean blue?

SLAPPY: Of course not! [Suddely, the giant doll jerks back to life, only it looks *really* angry; its eye begin to glow a fiery red.]

SLAPPY: Errr....or maybe it *was* blue. [Gulps.]

TIM: What'll we do now?

YAKKO: I know! How about the two fugitives from a James Bond knockoff take 'im on? [Yakko wiggles his eyebrows at the camera.]

AUSTIN: Um...sure, groove-a-delic little puppy-kid, why not?

YAKKO: [Looking perplexed] "Groove-a-delic"? You don't get out much, do you?

AUSTIN: [Glumly] Um, *no* . . . but anyway, let's give it a go, Doc!

DR. EVIL: [Sighs] Oh, very well . . .

[The two James Bond parody characters charge towards the giant Pikachu doll; however, the doll swings its tail at the two, and jolts the duo with a few zillion watts of electricity. An explosion occurs, sending the two characters hurtling through the ceiling, a la "Team Rocket", screaming "Austin Powers will be back in 'Never Say Shaggadellic Agaiiiiinnnn!'", before vanishing out of sight.]

DOT: Guess that's *one* way to get rid of extraneous characters...the writer must not be that big of an "Austin Powers" fan...

[Zip pan to Brainatra, who's at home editing this story on his computer; "60 Minutes" plays in the background on his TV.]

BRAINATRA: What can I say? Besides, I liked "Wayne's World" a lot more than "Austin Powers", anyway... [Brainatra continues typing, but notes that Andy Rooney's on the TV, griping about something or other. Brainatra makes a face, then presses a few buttons on his keyboard; Slappy shows up on the TV screen. She hands Andy Rooney a bomb. Rooney fumbles it around, before the bomb explodes, leaving Rooney in a dazed and confused state. Brainatra chuckles, and goes back to typing...zip pan back to the "action".]

(Cut to Capt. Caps again....hes now seated with Mikey and Sheryl of ninja-thug fame...)

(CAPT. CAPS: What the heck?! Brainatra says he doesnt even *like* P*kemon, yet how does he get rid of Austin and Dr. Evil?)

(MIKEY: By pullin that Team Rocket (bleep) he keeps pullin on *me*...stupid!)

(SHERYL: Wont even touch on how were much better than that gang that showed up in this thing...or how much better *I* am, anyway. (To Mikey) Mr. Bigshot Volvo Owner here woudlnt know an original attack move if it hit him upside the head...)

(MIKEY: Oh, *yeah*?! I couldve taken those guys on single handed! Without help from some Madonna wanna-be..)

(SHERYL: WHAT?! Why, I oughta...)

(CAPT. CAPS: Well, why dont we find out whos the better ninja-thug? Come on in, guys!)

(We see entering Caps room Rico, Whitey, and Dre...Mikey and Sheryl eye the former gang members with suspicion)

(DRE: What the (bleep) is this?! Those two losers that did that Team Rocket at that awards show? (The ex-cons begin laughing))

(SHERYL: Hey, dont laugh at me! It was all that Brain...ita...whoever...guys fault! Besides, I lasted a lot longer than you guys! How come Caps didnt even bring you back in any other stories, huh?)

(MIKEY: Hey, Im *all* that, and more...while you guys look like a bunch of rejects from the road crew for *Warrant*...)

(RICO: Hey, man...youre gonna pay for that!)

(MIKEY: With *what*? You gonna *slash my tires*?! (Mikey begins shaking in fear) Oh, no, I know....youre gonna sick your unused-in-this-story pit bulls?! Bet you dont even *have* pit bulls! Probably just a *chihuahua*...)

(WHITEY: Hey, we mightve got rid of em when we reformed, but those pit bulls were *real*, Mr. Cant-Keep-A-Relationship-together...)

(RICO & DRE: *Oooooooh*....)

(SHERYL: With a guy whose idea of a romantic night out was the drive-thru at M*ckeyDs, no wonder...)

(MIKEY: Hey, I bought you the Extra-Sized Value meal! What other guy wouldve done *that*?!)

(SHERYL: Ugh! Im outa here...later, Caps! (Sheryl exits))

(MIKEY: Thats it, man..youre gonna *pay*! (Whips out a wire-wrapped brick) See this? A *real* weapon! Not some (bleep)in switchblade...)

(DRE: Oh, thats it....its on!)

(The gang members break out their switchblades, and move in towards Mikey...)

(CAPT. CAPS: Uh, guys...? Erm...I thought you quit being gang types...)

(DRE: Yeah man, but our *honors* are at stake! Besides, we can take this guy on!)

(MIKEY: Oh, yeah? Ill just call in a few backup... yo, cmon in here!)

(We see entering the room two other guys, both carrying wire-wrapped bricks)

(GUY: Hey, man...were here!)

(DRE: Ooooh, friends of yours, huh? Well, fine with us...makes it that much more interestin!)

(GUY #2: Hey, man, uh...is Sheryl around anywhere? I mean, I know you two arent together anymore and all, but weve been friends for awhile, man, and I, er, just was wonderin... (Wiggles his eyebrows))

(MIKEY: (Flatly) Dont *ask*...just start attackin these (bleep)s, OK?)

GUY #2: Uh...all right! (The two groups move towards each other...Capt. Caps turns to the camera looking deeply worried...)

(CAPT. CAPS: Great...a Final Confrontation *and* a ninja-thug fight scene rolled into one...neither of which even *remotely* belongs on a DVD as an extra feature...(we see someone grab Caps by the neck, and yank him into the middle of a fight cloud... cut back to the storys action...))

SLAPPY: "Action"? More like "inaction"...how many villain lairs is this thing gonna have? It's stallin' worse than that flight I took ta get to the razza-frazzin' North Pole! Though blowin' up Andy was kinda fun, heh, heh...

YAKKO: Yeah, yeah, but we've got bigger problems! You want plot action, Slappy, take a look at that! [The giant Pikachu doll begins to stomp towards the group; all gulp.]

FLASH: I've got a plan! Elfy, Plas, Arnold, Snow Miser, come with me! The rest of you, stand back!

[The non-chosen group members do so...Flash whispers a few orders to the chosen group...]

FLASH: OK, everyone...*NOW*!

[Elfy begins to concentrate hard, and turns the end of the giant doll's tail into a grounded 3-pronged insulated plug. Flash speeds over, and plugs the cord into a nearby electrical outlet. Elfy concentrates harder, and a series of nails materialize around the outlet, securing the plug in place.]

ELFY: There! He's grounded! He won't be able to shock any of us now!

TOY: Pika?! [The figure tries to yank itself from the wall, but is stuck in tight.]

SLAPPY: Aaaah, this makes me kinda wish that little elf was around durin' that flippin' "39 Characters" thing...

FLASH: OK, all...let's go!

PLAS, SNOW MISER, ARNOLD, ELFY: Right!

[The group charges towards the giant toy; Plas wraps himself around one of the doll's arms, Arnold begins punching at its left leg, Elfy zaps a few "magic sparkles" at its right leg, and Snow Miser freezes one of the doll's arms. Flash charges straight for the doll's head, about to deliver a final knockout punch; the scene looks similar to the cover of the JLA's origin issue (namely, _Brave and the Bold_ #28, 1960, with the cover depicting said team fighting the giant starfish Starro the Conqueror in a similar manner to this Poke-doll-attack...<i>Brainatra,pointless DC Comics referencer</i>). With all this might, the doll finally collapses, uttering a last few "Pika"'s vainly. The whole group cheers.]

(DOT: Um, has anyone here ever actually *seen* this comic cover?)

(WAKKO: I think I did back in 1960...uh...it tasted like chicken!)

ARNOLD: Ya! We did it! Maybe I can join your Legion of Justeece of Ah-merica someday, fast red-costumed veak person!

FLASH: Um....yeah. Come on---with the hole made in the ceiling, we can all get out of here!

PLAS: No problem! [Plas forms himself into a giant slide, with stairs leading up through the ceiling and the slide part leading down into the snow. All exit the chamber, with Pinky, Elfy, the Warners, F!, and Skippy cheering and laughing on the way down the slide. Soon, all are safely outside.]

SCULDER: Great! We're out! But what do we do now?

MULLY: Yes...I don't think our current pursuit process is going anywhere...the villain keeps changing his lairs!

BRAIN: Agreed...I think what we need is a *trap*! Luring him onto *our* territory will surely enable us to capture the fiend...and, most likely, finally engage the thug into a final confrontation!

PINKY: What makes you say that, Brain?

BRAIN: Because these adventures of ours *always* wind up with a major, final confrontation "showdown" with the master villain, Pinky. Now come, we must set up our trap! [The group get back onto their snowmobiles/Freakmobile, and race across the snow...]

(DOT: Ah, yes....the Final Confrontation. Where would our stories be without them?)

(YAKKO: On the Emmy winner lists?)

(DOT: Bingo...)

(WAKKO: Hey, *we* got Harley awards...thats...uh...a zillionth as good.)

[Moments later, we see the group standing in a spot near Santa's Workshop, with a giant pile of Superman dolls, video games, and comic books piled up.]

BRAIN: It was fortunate for us that Superman was at his Fortress of Solitude when we knocked, and that he agreed to let us use some of his merchandise as part of this trap!

BILLIE: Yeah...too bad he said he was busy answering Christmas letters to help us, though!

[Zip pan to Superman's fortress, where we see the Man of Steel writing Christmas cards...]

SUPERMAN: "Dear Jimmy, thank you for the thoughtful present, even though I can't imagine *when* I'll ever need a "Jimmy Olsen Distress Signal Watch" on the off-chance I need *you* to rescue *me*...but I appreciate the thought! Sincerely, Superman!" [Superman holds up the watch, and decides to try it on.] Hmm...well, it's not bad looking, anyway...

[Zip pan back to the group.]

SLAPPY: Grr...any more of these pointless zip-pan asides, and I'm gonna...

ELFY: Aw, don't worry, Slappy...after all---

SLAPPY: Can it, Pavoratti! We don't have time for another song sequence! Someone's coming!

[Two figures approach....however, neither one of the figures are the villain behind this thing, but rather Rita and Runt.]

RITA: Hey, I was wonderin' when I'd get to be a part of this thing...how could someone not remember to cast *me* in a Warner Bros. character using musical Christmas special?

RUNT: Yeah, Rita...definitely can't forget you!

[All moan.]

DOT: Great...everyone *but* Mel Gibson's showing up for this thing...how many characters is this thing going to have?

SLAPPY: Like we haven't beaten that point into the ground a zillion times already...

[Suddenly, someone taps Dot on the shoulder.]

VOICE: Excuse me? Santa told me that I'd find you over here, miss... [Dot turns around, and sees it's Mel Gibson.]

MEL: He said something about your wanting to see me for Christmas?

DOT: HELLOOOOO, NURSE! [She bounces around the scene, jumps up and down on Axel's head (AXEL: [bleep]!), and finally lands in Mel's arms.]

DOT: Yes, oh, *yes*, there *is* a Santa Claus! And *you're* the best gift I could've asked for! Thank you, St. Nick! [Dot lets out a long sigh; Mel looks bewildered.]

(YAKKO: OK, now *this* was a completely gratuitous character....)

(DOT: Speak for yourself...)

WAKKO: Hey, does this mean I'm gonna get those Don Knotts videos I asked for?!

AXEL: [Bleep]in' later, I guess...we've got something else to worry about---*THAT*!

[Axel points upward, and sees that it's the villain's mysterious toy-grabbing device...]

RITA: Hey, that's the thing that swiped up all those "Annie Get Your Gun" CD's the stores were supposed to sell!

MEL: And that thing took all the "Lethal Weapon 4" videos and DVD's, as well!

(YAKKO: Apparently not far away enough...)

(DOT: Hey, dont criticize Mels movies! Sure it wasnt as good as the first three, but it had something *special*! (Whips out the DVD cover) This cover artwork of him! (Kisses it repeatedly, as her sibs roll their eyes))

BRAIN: [To Elfy] Ready....and, *NOW*!

[Elfy pulls a lever, and the toy pile parts to reveal a giant electromagnet underneath it; the magnet pulls the toy-grabbing device towards it.]

BILLIE: I hope this thing works...though with a combination of the elves' magic and my intellect, how *couldn't* it?

[The device sputters and tries to stay aloft, but finally crashes into the ground with a giant thud. The heroes all cheer.]

PINKY: NARF! Egad, we've finally captured the bad guy!

VOICE: [From the mysterious craft] Oh, *really*? You may have disabled my device, but I've only begun to fight! [The craft begins to sputter slowly upwards from the ground, and hovers in the air; sparks fly from the craft.]

YAKKO: Like we haven't heard *THAT* line before in this special...

DOT: About a trillion times...

SLAPPY: Enuff a' this meshugna hooey here...I'm gonna end this thing once and for all, and if it takes one of those stupid "final confrontation" thingees, then so be it! Now who's with me?

[Everyone cheers. Suddenly, the American flag falls down behind Slappy, and she's suddenly clad in a military outfit. She begins talking, a la General Patton in the George C. Scott film, as the theme from that film blares.]

SLAPPY: Now remember, no schmoe ever won an intergalactic war by dying for his planet, he won it by making some other schmoe die for his. When you sit with your grandson on your knee thirty years from now...that is, for those of us that plan on living that long...if he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you won't hafta tell 'im you were sittin' home watching reruns of 'Columbo' on A&E...although that would probably be a lot more pleasant... And when you put your hand into a pile a' goo that used to be your best friend's face--eh, come ta think of it, that's too gruesome for a Christmas special. So, just git on out their an', uh, win one for the Gipper!

ALL: HURRAH! [All are suddenly clad in army uniforms; they throw up their hats and cheer.]

SLAPPY: THEN LET'S GO!!!

[Tim pulls a rope from his tool utility belt and uses it to lasso the mothership. He begins to climb it, but Arnold pushes him aside and pulls the rope, bringing the entire ship down to the ground once more. The vessel's door swings open; Sculder and Mully draw their guns and aim them at the figure exiting the craft, amidst the smoke.]

DOT: After all this time evading the villain's identity, *THIS* is how he's exposed?

AXEL: Naw, look! That ain't the main villain, just some stupid alien... [Points to a rather generic-looking alien, resembling the one in A!'s "Space Probed." The alien's promptly joined by several more, who all pull ray guns on the 'toons and other characters.]

BRAIN: *Sigh*...more gratuitous fighting...ah, well...

[The gang promptly begins to attack the aliens. However, they take quite a beating. When Slappy pulls the "survey" bit again, the alien simply zaps her into a pile of dust.]

FREAKAZOID: [To an alien, trying to trick him.] Hey, you've got a bug on your shoulder!

ALIEN: No, you have one on yours! Allow me to deteriorate its molecular composition for you.

FREAKAZOID: Well that's right neighborly of y-- [The alien zaps him with his ray gun, reducing him to a pile of dust.]

[Arnold and Axel slug it out with a few aliens, but are zapped as well.]

[The Warners face a group of the little green men.]

YAKKO: Psst! [Beckons one of the aliens closer. He comes closer, and Yakko does the same thing several more times. Finally, he smacks it.] TAG! You're it!

ALIEN: No, *YOU* are! [Zaps Yakko.]

YAKKO/PILE OF DUST: These guys are a lot tougher than the ones we met before...

(DOT: Maybe if Yakko tried some other tactic instead of that tag youre it bit...)

(YAKKO: Hey, it works! Uh, sort of. Usually. Well, half the time. OK, 10%, and thats my final offer!)

(DOT: Sold!)

[Cut to the FBI agents.]

MULLY: Well, Sculder, you finally found your aliens. Now are you happy?

SCULDER: Actually...yes! This is the high point of my life!

MULLY: Well, that's good, seeing as how you're about to die!

SCULDER: *Gulp* [Both are zapped to dust.]

MEL: [Fighting several aliens with a plain ol' gun.] Drat...I've survived "Thunderdome," three sequels to "Lethal Weapon," and cameos in "Father's Day," "Casper," and a sub-par "Simpsons" episode, just to have it all end like this? Hm...the worst part is that my agent will probably make off with all my vast earnings...but, such is life... [He too is zapped, as are Tim, Rita, Flash, Plas, and whoever the heck else is there at this point (ELFY: *HEY*! I'm not a "whoever the heck else"! I'm---(gets zapped by an alien)).]

(DOT: So their ray guns blasted to bits someone who can run at near-light speeds? Um, yeah....)

(WAKKO: Maybe they, uh, zapped him with a ray that moved so fast, it hit him before they even fired, and immobilized him, and...uh....er...you dont believe me, do you?)

(DOT: Well, you tried to make reason out of madness, sweetie. Thats all we can ask...)

HEAD ALIEN: Come. We will bring them to the Master. [They pick up the turned-to-dust gang, and bring them inside.]

[Interior--Space ship. They march through various hallways. In various rooms they pass we see a TV playing an old "Alf" episode; Amelia, Bigfoot, Elvis, & J. Hoffa playing poker as seen in the A! "Space Probed" ep; George Lucas tied up in a chair typing the script to "Star Wars: Episode Two" with his feet; Shatner singing "Mr. Tambourine Man"; and they finally enter into what appears to be the main room. It's all emerald green, and there's a giant head of fire, a la "The Wizard of Oz."]

HEAD OF FIRE: [Booming, generic evil-type voice.] I...am the Master! I am the brilliant mind behind all that has happened to you today! There is a reason that I have done this to you, which is as follows--

SLAPPY: Can it, ya big ham! C'mon, gang! Let's get outta here! I kin still get home in time for Kids' WB!'s latest 6 1/2-hour "Poke-thon"...er, on second thought, let's linger *here* for a bit...

DOT: [Realizing something] Hey! I thought we were all "turned to dust" by these dumb aliens' ray guns; how'd we get back to normal?

YAKKO: Aaaaah..."Christmas magic"?

HEAD ALIEN: No, try the reintegration sensors we passed you through on the way to the Master's room...

DOT: [Sarcastically] Oh, of *course*...as if having *aliens* in a *Christmas special* wasn't dumb *enough* in and of itself...

[Arnold unexpectedly grabs the alien holding him, puts him in a headlock, and flips him over. The others follow in suit, freeing themselves from their captors. The aliens recover from their shock and attempt to reach for their ray guns.]

HEAD ALIEN: Wait! If we use our guns, we will damage the ship! Let us fight hand-to-hand!

(DOT: Well, they sure werent lousy shots *before*...dont see why thatd change now...)

(YAKKO: First rule of science-fantasy shootouts: anyone who fires at you when the plot demands you live cant hit the broadside of a barn...)

(DOT: Like how Batman can outrun machine gun fire when the crooks are standing two feet in front of im?)

(YAKKO: Exactly!)

(DOT: Who knew?)

ARNOLD: Yah, ve vill fight you mano-a-mano, you little girly alien heads! [He rushes at the scrawniest-looking alien, which appears to be a baby, and attempts to pick it up. Instead, it flips him and throws him into the wall.]

BABY ALIEN: [Cheerfully and sweetly, to us.] I'm only t'wee an' a half years old!

[The other aliens begin pummeling our heroes when we suddenly hear a familiar growly voice from behind.]

VOICE: [Offscreen.] HEY!

[All look up. We see Sgt. Mike Cosgrove standing behind the aliens attacking our heroes.]

COSGROVE: [Sternly to the aliens, like a parent to a child.] Cut it out.

[All the aliens begin to mope like little kids; a few walk to the corner dejectedly.]

COSGROVE: Now, this thing has gone on long enough. Let's see who's behind this curtain. [Walks up to the curtain that the scrawny Wizard hid behind in the original. He pulls it back, and all gasp.]

[The figure standing behind the curtain is revealed to be...still ensconsed in some type of shadow. We see the figure wielding a cane of some sort, and the shadow is completely covering up his face.]

FIGURE: Ha! You fools thought you'd finally unmask me?! I've only begun to fight!

DOT: *AAARGGHH*! Not that line *again*!!

WAKKO: Yeah...it's been used more times in this story than that "two places at once" bit's been used!

DOT: [Rolling her eyes] Thank heaven for small miracles, I suppose...

SLAPPY: OK, Mr. Anonymous Villain, let's just cut to the flippin' chase and end this razza-frazzin' thing already...even Brainatra and Craig both think this thing's draggin' worse than "End of Days"! [ARNOLD: (off-screen) *HEY*!]

DOT: Yeah, and this thing's already gotten more than enough gratuitous characters added, thanks to those two writers and Capt. Caps...I mean, we've got the Flash, a magic elf, Axel Foley, "X-Files" agents...enough already! This thing makes that dumb "39 Characters" story look like a small one-act play at a community theater! [All others nod in agreement]

BILLIE: Yeah...but before we start the "final confrontation" and end this thing once and for all, answer me this: why can't we see your face?

FIGURE: Ha! I'm not ready to end this! [Off-screen, we hear Slappy and Dot moan.] As for my face, I think Flash will recognize *this* little item I'm wielding! [Waves around his cane...]

FLASH: [Realizing] The Shade's cane! You must've ripped it off from the Flash Museum while you were blasting your way through Central City's toy stores!

WAKKO: Um...who's the Shade?

FLASH: The Shade was this villain who I used to fight a few times, alongside the "Golden Age" Flash, back in Central City... [Flashback ripples to a Carmine Infantino-drawn "Flash" comic fight scene, with the FTD Florist logo-like "Golden Age" Flash and the modern version slapping around an ugly-looking guy wearing a top hat, an all-black suit, and holding the aforementioned cane] The Shade used the cane to cast shadows over whatever he wished! [Flashback ends...]

(DOT: And another pointless, obscure comics reference has been made...)

(YAKKO: Im sure everyones thrilled...if they havent stopped reading this thing by the time the 22nd ninja-thug fight scene came on...)

FIGURE: Correct! While I was ripping my way through your hometown, speedster, I made a quick stop off at the Flash Museum, and swiped this from the museum's displays! With this cane, I can keep my identity impenetrably revealed from the likes of all of you losers!

BILLIE: So that'd explain all those sudden shadow shifts that covered up your face earlier on...

YAKKO: Aaaaah, ever hear of a *mask*, buddy?

PINKY: Um....I thought only the Shade could use the cane, though! *NARF*! Or is it that he really gets his powers from another "shadow" dimension? Kind of hard to remember...

FLASH: [Scratches his head] Beats me...those hack writers keep changing everything at the drop of a hat so much even *I* have a hard time keeping up!

(DOT: Speaking of origins...(pauses) Nah. I think Billie and Brain need a few more minutes time out...)

SLAPPY: Don't have to tell *me* about hack writers, pal...did I mention this one time we were stuck inside those annoyin' Poke-...

FIGURE: [Annoyed] ENOUGH OF THIS!

AXEL: I couldn't agree more! Let's get this [bleep]in' guy and his hoods once and for all!

BRAIN: But didn't we already defeat his minions?

FIGURE: Yes, you have, Brain, but you haven't defeated *me*!

[The figure presses a button in his booth, and the booth begins to transform...all stand back. The figure transforms into a giant transformer-like robot, with its head still concealed beneath a shadow...]

FIGURE: Ha! Prepare to meet your doom, losers!

TIM: Wrong, "loser"! You should've just made your escape while you could, instead of trying to take us *all* on! [Glances around] Did I just say something *brave*? [The others nod] Well, anyway, with our combined might, [talks in a "Buzz Lightyear" stern tone] *you're going down*! GET HIM!

FIGURE: Yeah, right....[Steps a few feet forward] BRING IT ON!

[The figure screams, however, once he sees the various characters charging towards him...the Warners whap his suit with mallets, while Flash and Plas lay superpowered punches at the figure's torso. The Snow Miser zaps one of the suit's hands with a freezing blast. Rita and Runt merely claw and bite at the base of one of the suit's legs. We also see Tim, Axel, and Slappy wire up the suit's exterior with something, Arnold laying a few punches at the suit, the "X-Files" agents, Cosgrove, and Mel firing their pistols at the suit's bulletproof exterior, the mice firing their catabolic immobilizers at the suit, and Elfy using "Christmas magic" on one of the suit's arms. Freakazoid merely leans back, and eats poporn...]

[With all of this combined effort, the figure's suit finally begins to buckle under the stress of the assault...]

SLAPPY: OK, everyone! Get back!

[All pull back...Slappy and Tim whip out a detonator.]

TIM: Ladies first...

SLAPPY: Thanks!

[Slappy presses the plunger...we see that the suit's back is rigged with various Acme explosives. The figure makes a gulping sound. A gigantic explosion rattles the ship, sending the figure flying outside, and landing into the snow. At the same time, a wall of the ship dematerializes (like a hologram), revealing behind it the stolen toys and Santa's sleigh and reindeer. The gang all head outside, to find the figure's ruins. We also see lying next to the figure the shadowing cane, broken in several pieces...]

(WAKKO: YOU MANIAC! YOU BLEW IT---)

(DOT: Weve done that joke to death, Wakko.)

(WAKKO: But weve done all those *other* jokes to death...)

(DOT: *Sigh*...)

[All cheer.]

SLAPPY: How's that for a "Final Confrontation", eh? Eat your heart out, Spandex boys! [Flash and Plas glare at Slappy.]

AXEL: Now to see who this [bleep]ing guy is, so that I can arrest 'im! [Axel walks over, as does everyone else; they finally see who the villain behind this thing is, and gasp.]

(YAKKO: Richard Simmons?)

(WAKKO: Mel Brooks?)

(DOT: Ricky Martin?!)

[Lying in the snow, the figure is revealed to be...*Thaddeus Plotz*! (Bum-bum-buuuuummmm....)]

(WARNERS: *Ohhh*...)

ALL: *PLOTZ*!?!

SLAPPY: GAAAAAH! I *knew* it! It has to do with boostin' sales for that flippin' fad toy of the moment Pokey-whatever! [Whips out a *huge* wad of explosives, and walks over to the fallen CEO; the others also look stern.] OK, bright boy, you've got 2 seconds ta talk or I'm blowin' you to whatever second-rate community college you got your management credentials from! And since we're not in production anymore, I figure I don't have ta worry about gettin' canned by you for blowin' you to bits!

PLOTZ: [Sighs] You're right! P*k*mon merchandise *was* the reason I participated in this plan! With less merchandise of other characters being produced, P*k*mon merchandise would overwhelm the store shelves, and would easily earn the studio even *more* money! But I wasn't acting alone!

BRAIN: You weren't?!

PLOTZ: No! I needed help in getting this equipment, and a few secondary hands, so I joined up with a few others...you can come out now, guys!

[Several of the more normal-sized aliens walk over to the group. They begin pulling on their heads, as if removing masks. One alien reveals itself to be Micro$oft CEO Bill Gates...]

ALL: BILL GATES?!?

GATES: What can I say? Plotz promised he'd cross-promote my software with P*k*mon if I helped fund this venture! With a whole kid-sized generation innundated by this double-advertising blitz, I'd be guaranteed to stay in power faster than you can say "Justice Dept. investigation"!

[Another alien reveals itself to be...Fanboy.]

F!: [Gasps] *FANBOY*! How *could* you...work with someone who promoted "Windows 95" in a shameless heavily-hyped Jay Leno-using way not matched until...well, P*k*mon! [Covers face with a hand] I'm ashamed to be your...acquaintance.

(YAKKO: Id be ashamed of being within the same *galaxy* as him...)

FANBOY: [Pouting] Oh, I'm sorry, Freakazoid, but they needed someone to help Mr. Gates program and run all this equipment, and Gates promised to pay me a lot of money! Plus, I'd have gotten several of the Snow Miser beanbag toys, to boot!

[Another alien pulls its head off, and reveals itself to be...someone who doesn't look too immediately familiar to the group, except to Brain.]

BRAIN: Wait a minute...aren't you Michael Bronzestein, the CEO of Toys-R-Mine?!

BRONZESTEIN: Welll, without all those other business' toys on the market and with the cross-promotion efforts of Plotz and Gates, my store chain would dominate the toy marketplace! Thus, I kind of helped fund all this, too...but the technology was all Gates'!

BILLIE: Guess that'd explain why that giant toy-sucking probe crashed so easily, heh, heh...[All stare blankly.] It was a Microsoft software quality joke! [Crosses her arms, and pouts.] Hmph...

ELFY: You should be ashamed of yourselves! Trying to swipe all these toys...that's not what this time of year is about! [Music swells up in the background, specifically "sappy" Christmas-special-moral-lesson music...]

SLAPPY: Aw, geez, not an end-of-story moral *too*...[Whips out her headphones once more to ignore all this...]

ELFY: Misters Plotz, Gates, and Bronzestein, you should know that stealing toys to boost sales of your own various overdominant interests isn't the right thing to do! And Fanboy, you should know better than to help someone who, among other things, cancelled "Animaniacs" on you! [The gang nod their heads...]

DOT: Gotta agree with that cancellation part! [Glares at Plotz.]

ELFY: I mean, this is *Christmas*...a time for warm, family gatherings, a time for caring, a time for...

PINKY: Multiple characters showing up for contrived holiday specials that don't acknowledge other holidays in December besides Christmas?

ELFY: Um...yeah, that too, I guess. So, Misters, Fanboy, what do you say?

[The music builds up to a crescendo...]

PLOTZ: I'm...I'm...sorry. [Breaks down into sobbing; the other villains do, too.]

DOT: [Makes a face at this saccharineness] Yeah, right...the minute this special's over, they'll snap back to their usual ultra-greedy ways, as if this dumb thing never happened...[All murmur in agreement with Dot; Elfy shoots the group an uncharacteristic, annoyed look.]

(DOT: (Sarcastically) Yeah, I guess I could see how Plotz reformed his ways....his behavior in Toons and Doom was simply *filled* with examples of the Christmas spirit lingering clear into in the middle of July...)

ELFY: [Pats Plotz on the back.] There, there, it's all right. This being Christmas, it *is* a time for forgiveness, am I right, guys? [The others stammer and shuffle their feet.] I said, *AM I RIGHT*?! [The others mutter statements such as "yeah, sure, forgiveness", and such...] Now, come on, you guys...let's get all this stuff back to Santa's workshop and we'll *all* have one big show-stopping holly-jolly Christmas! [Giggles.]

SLAPPY: [Removing her headphones] Did someone say that this thing's almost over?! What're we waitin' for?!

[All begin gathering up the various toys/equipment...]

[Fade to Santa's workshop. All the elves are running around joyously. We see everybody drinking hot cocoa, and chatting.]

YAKKO: This is wonderful! "Wakko's Wish" will still be under millions of Christmas trees!

(YAKKO: On Earth-2, maybe...)

WAKKO: Really? I sure hope so!

DOT: Me, too!

(DOT: Im reminded for some reason of a Usenet newsgroup thread...)

SLAPPY: Thank heavens this razzafrazzin' thing is over!

AXEL: God[bleep] right! I've had enough of this [bleep]! I've probably frozen my [bleep] off in this weather!

ELFY: Since we all had a lot of fun...

DOT: [Muttering] I could argue about *that*...

ELFY: ...I think we should have one more musical number!

[All groan.]

[Cut to Captain Caps.]

CC: I love the song I'm about to use, but I can't remember the lyrics! Oh heck, I'll just improv!

[Cut back to the workshop. In the background, we hear the opening strains of the song "Put A Little Love In Your Heart".]

AXEL: This'd better not be another pointless [bleep]in' 1980's reference Captain Caps' makin'...

YAKKO: Relax, Axel, this thing's almost over...

(Cut to Capt. Caps room...or whats left of it, anyway. We see everythings been overturned, destroyed, smashed, etc. by the ninja-thug melee...behind an overturned bed, we see Caps struggling to get back up...that dramatic Simpsons bell-chiming music plays.)

(CAPT. CAPS: (Out of breath) Mikey? Where are you?! Cant...even...find... strength...to...berate...Brainatra...for that...uncalled...for...80s...crack...)

(We see Mikey crawl out from the closet...he looks the worse for wear.)

(MIKEY: Hey, I showed those guys *good*...didnt I?)

(CAPT. CAPS: Dont know...last thing I...remember...was wire-wrapped bricks...to the left of me...switchblades...to the right of me...sound and fury...signifying...signifying... (looks around at the mess) that youre gonna pay me back *big time*, you lousy---)

(MIKEY: Whoa, dont get mad...youre the one who brought me on board for all this!)

(CAPT. CAPS: Well, true... (grows annoyed) but I didnt anticipate my *bedroom* becoming the site of the stupidest thing to come down the fanfic pike in *ages*! I mean, what were you thinking?! This isnt *New York*, this is my *home*! I wouldnt come into *your* house and start breaking things, would I?! (Eyes a smashed-to-bits original Atart 2600 with an original Ms. Pac-Man cartridge, and sniffs...)

MIKEY: Now hold on...uh...I live in an *apartment*, not a house. Though Id hate to see all those milk crates Im using for furniture broken...

CAPT. CAPS: *Yeah*?! Well... (Pauses, calms down) Say, care to see my Joe Clark impression?)

(MIKEY: Hey, wasnt he that crazy (bleep) principal in that one movie?)

(CAPT. CAPS: *Exactly*... (picks up whats left of a baseball bat, and moves in towards Mikey) OK, buddy....start coughin up dough to pay for all this, or---)

(MIKEY: Awww...if I hadnt broken up with Sheryl, this wouldnt have happened...shed at least have kept me from...from...)

(CAPT. CAPS: (Flatly) Doing that impression of a crash dummy when those goons slammed you into whats left of my *wall*?!?)

(MIKEY: Well, when you put it *that* way....)

(CAPT. CAPS: Save it for the *next* Christmas special, bub...now, to the *ATM*! *March*!)

(With the song Welcome to the Jungle playing, Caps forces Mikey to march out of the room, with Mikey moaning aw, man...there goes this months Volvo payment...)

ELFY: What a Merry Christmas! Good friends, good fun, good everything! [Singing] Oh, Christmas! I can't wait! No time to hesitate! Put a little love in your heart! Kids faces all aglow, 30 feet of pure white snow! Put a little love in your heart!

[Inexplicably, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot join in.]

ELFY & WARNERS: [Singing] And the world will be a better place! Yes, the world will be a better place!

MULLY, SCULDER: [Deadpan singing] For you and me! You just wait and see!

AXEL: Thank God we're at the end! [Noticing the music hasn't ended] ...I hope.

[From out of nowhere, Bill Murray walks into the scene...]

MURRAY: [Singing] Hey, Axel F, my friend, put a little love in your heart!

AXEL: No [bleep]ing way!

PINKY: [Singing] Flying throughout the night! Everything'll be all right! [To Brain] Sing it, Brain!

BRAIN: Please, Pinky, I'd sooner...

BILLIE: [Flatly] I think you'd better, Brain, or this dumb special will probably never end...

BRAIN: [Moans] Oh, very well...

BRAIN & BILLIE: [Singing] Put a little love in your heart!

BILLIE: Hmm...not a bad idea! [Grabs Pinky, and plants a kiss on his cheek; Brain rolls his eyes, and gags...]

(Cut to ACME Labs one last time...we see that the lab floors half-filled with various formula-filled papers...we see the lab mice see this song play on the lab TV, as they look worse for wear...)

(BILLIE: (Sighs) Well, face it, Eggy...I guess well *never* figure out just what our one, true, coherent origin story consists of...with at least two conflicting major origins given between Snowball and Project B.R.A.I.N., reconciling them seems nearly impossible...)

(BRAIN: (Sighs as well) I suppose not...er, look, Billie...I...uh, wanted to, that is....)

(BILLIE: Well, not before I..well...um, that is...)

(PINKY: Oh, dont be so shy! You both know what you want to say!)

(BILLIE & BRAIN: You *do*?!)

(PINKY: Sure! You both had so much *fun*, you cant *wait* to do something like this again! HAHAHA! Besides, all this teamwork was just like this story! You both learned the valuable lesson of cooperation, and learned the true meaning of the holiday! Besides, you shouldnt be arguing over something silly-willy like where we came from at this time of year! Its...uh...oh, yeah....its *Christmas*, NARF! Oooh, almost forgot what holiday it was...)

(BILLIE: Um, Pinks...no offense, but all we learned was how not to write an origin story. *That* much, Im sure of. (Looks at Brain) Though I suppose the way I conducted myself wasnt too graceful...sorry, Eggy.)

(BRAIN: Well, er....(looks at Pinky, who seems to be goading him on) Oh, all *right*...Im sorry too! There, are you happy?)

(PINKY: (Laughs) Oh, yes *sir*! (Gives both a hug) Now we can go get ready for fun-fun, silly-willy holiday thingies!)

(BRAIN: Correct, Pinky...come, we shall prepare for tomorrow night!)

(BILLIE: (Moans) Aw, Eggy, cant you give that line a rest for once? Even after all thats happened tonight, when weve taxed our brains to the *limit*, you still want to prepare for tomorrow night?!)

(BRAIN: Of course...(flatly) in this case, by downing some aspirin. Trying to sort out our continuity of origins gave me the mother of all headaches.. (rubs the sides of his head))

(BILLIE: *Oh*. (Pauses) Race you to the medicine cabinet... (rubs her temples as well, and both mice race off...we hear the closing Theyre dinky tagline play...)

TIM: [Singing] And the world will be a better place!

FLASH & PLAS: [Singing] Yes, the world will be a better place!

FREAKAZOID & COSGROVE: [Singing] For you and me!

ALL: [Singing] You just wait and see! Put a little love in your heart! Put a little love in your heart!

SNOW MISER: [Singing] The world needs love, not a frozen heart!

ARNOLD: [Singing] Yah! Put a leetle love in yahr heart!

SKIPPY: [Singing] Put a little love in your heart! C'mon, Aunt Slappy, sing it!

SLAPPY: [Annoyed] No way! [Skippy's eyes grow wide.] Oh, alright! [Speaking] Put a little love in your heart! There, I sang!

[All of a sudden, every other character who's appeared in this special materializes. Pip Pumphandle, Wesley Snipes, Whitey, Rico, Dre, the cast of "Saturday Night Live", and Lord knows who else all appear, and begin singing. The cast sings the song to the end, and then we hear a "jazz" version of the A! theme pop up. We see some of the characters dancing in a similar manner to the "Peanuts" gang in the "Charlie Brown Christmas" special: Yakko bobs his head from side to side, Wakko holds his arms out in front of him and dances like Frankenstein, Dot stands in place while waving her arms back and forth, Pinky dances in place (similarly to those KWB recycled stock footage promos), Brain and Billie do a "two-step" dance, Elfy plays a bass, another elf plays a toy piano, Axel plays an electric guitar, Skippy hops up and down, and Slappy waves her arms over her head as if exercising rather than dancing. The whole song sequence soon ends, and all cheer. Yakko then speaks up.]

YAKKO: MWAH! Goodnight everybody!

SLAPPY: Finally!

[Suddenly, the doors to Santa's workshop burst open. Ice and snow blow in on the wind. A shadow ensconsed figure enters...]

FIGURE: HA HA HA! You fell for my decoys! Did you actually believe that the dark figure you faced in the ice cave was *Plotz*?! Fools! I used him, Gates, and Bronzestein as decoys! Prepare to meet your doom!!!

SLAPPY: And prepare to meet yours!

[A rope falls down in front of each of our heroes. They all give a swift pull, causing an avalanche of anvils to fall on the figure.]

SLAPPY: It's over... GO AWAY!

FIGURE: [In pain] No problem...

[The figure and the pile of anvils crawl out the door, which slams behind them.]

SLAPPY: And that goes for the rest of you too!

[Fade to black.]

[The lights go back up, and we see the various characters sitting around drinking coffee as the stage crew begins taking away the props from the set.]

BRAIN: YES! With luck, this special will finance my plan for tomorrow night!

BILLIE: That's if anyone actually bothers to *watch* this thing! It'll probably finish last in the ratings...

(YAKKO: (Pulls out a copy of Variety from the time this story originally ran) Actually, it finished *next-to* last...beat out Western Oregon Agricultural Roundtable.)

PINKY: Umm... I'd watch it! Hahaha! *NARF*!

BRAIN: [Flatly] You *would*. [Realizing] ...Wait a minute, what am I *saying*?!?

(DOT: After sitting through this thing *again*, I think Brain was right the *first* time...)

[Pan to the Warners.]

YAKKO: Well sibs, I guess that just about wraps this thing up...

DOT: Not quite... [To the stage crew] Hey, guys! Bring those props back for a minute! [The crew does so.]

YAKKO: Um, Dot, I'm only going to ask this once: what are you *doing*?!

DOT: [Flatly] According to this script, there's still another song left to perform!

[All groan.]

SLAPPY: Ugh...at this rate, I'll never get ta get home in time to watch my old cartoons sliced up fer that Teddy Kennedy...Barney Frank-y...Richard Lugar...Big Congressional Show thingamajig! [Pauses.] Um...forget what I just said. Let's roll the razza-frazzin' song already...

[Fade out from this scene, and fade into Santa's workshop, where we see the story's various characters milling about. Music swells up, similar to the tune of "Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas"; the elves start singing.]

ELVES: [Singing] Have yourselves a Wakko little Christmas,
Eat sweet po-ta-to pie,

[Cut to a shot of Wakko scarfing down mass quantities of sweet potato pies, cookies, and cans of "Who Hash" in Mrs. Claus' kitchen; Mrs. Claus looks rather annoyed.]

(WAKKO: (eating a part of his seat cushion) Boy, I could go for that right now...that Who Hash was dee-licious!)

ELVES: [Singing] From now on, this special will be rerun,
'Til the end of tiiiiime...

[Cut to a shot of Fanboy watching this special at home...piles of Snow Miser beanbag dolls can be seen sitting on top of his TV.]

FANBOY: Oh, boy...it's even better watching it the 75th time in a row! [Laughs] Ha, ha...Snow Miser just froze Axel's phone again! A classic! Too bad they cut out three song sequences and that fairly unimportant final part that shows how they defeat the main villain on this rebroadcast, but I guess they had to get those important commercial messages to fit somehow! [We see that the cut scenes have been replaced with commercials for P*k*mon, "World's Scariest Department Store Santas" promos, and toilet bowl cleansers...]

(Cut to of all people, Bizarro watching this on his home planet, on a real working TV set...surrounding him are his made-from-rocks ersatz-family)

(BIZARRO: Awww...reruns again. (Changes the channel to Regis Philbin) Heh, heh, me like funny squeaky voice man...him ask hard questions for 100 dollars!)

[Back to the song.]

ELVES: [Singing] Flash's super-speed powers were overused,
Like "two places at onnnnnce",

(DOT: No *lie*.)

[Cut to a shot of Flash drinking eggnog with Arnold, who's holding a Verminator doll with a bow on it...Flash looks mildly annoyed by that song lyric's assertion. We also see the mice standing by Flash and Arnold as well; Brain winces with agreement at the mention of that spatial distortion trick, while Pinky and Billie break down into laughter...]

ELVES: [Singing] Axel's swearing wasn't very Christmas-like,
Tim's a great big kluuuutz...

(YAKKO: Tell us something we *dont* know...)

[Cut to a shot of Axel, who, despite his behavior clearly being "naughty" and not "nice" over the past year's worth of fanfics he's appeared in, is being handed a large pile of gifts by St. Nick, and doing his stacatto laugh in delight; he calls Mel over for help carrying the loot. Meanwhile, Tim is being electrocuted due to holding a metal-handled screwdriver against Rudolph's nose.]

(WAKKO: Rudolph isnt grounded?)

(YAKKO: Maybe he just needs to sit in the corner for awhile and think about what hes done...)

ELVES: [Singing] Have yourselves a Wakko little Christmas,
Snow Miser's gotten a break...

[Cut to a shot of Snow Miser, talking into a cell phone; several of his "Mini-Me"'s, wearing sunglasses, surround him like Secret Service agents.]

SNOW MISER: Yeah, that's right...I want 10% of the gross from my appearance in this thing...*and* part of the gross, not net, in my upcoming special "Snow Miser: Live From Chicago", buddy! Later! [Hangs up]

(DOT: Did you ever tape that special of his?)

(WAKKO: Yeah..uh...but I had to tape over it for the Andy Griffith marathon!)

ELVES: [Singing] Sculder and Mully finally got their conspiracy plot...

[Cut to a shot of the two agents looking at one of the singing elves with curiosity; they handcuff the elf and drag it off, with the elf yelling various words that sound more Axel-like than Christmas-like.]

ELVES: [Singing] ...Plas and Gates are *geeeeeks*!

[Cut to a shot of Plastic Man and the Warners annoying Axel and some of the elves by doing that dumb "two places at once" bit, with Plas using his stretching abilities to pull this repetitive gag off. We also see Bill Gates trying to load copies of Micro$oft Office 2000 on some PC's destined for Santa's big ride, only for the computers to short-circuit due to the software's heavy system requirements. Gates looks at the camera, annoyed.]

(DOT: Must notve been Y2K compliant...)

(YAKKO: A Y2K joke...kind of outdated, isnt it?)

(DOT: No more than half these story references will be in awhile...)

ELVES: [Singing] Slappy celebrates Chanuka at her tree,
Axel does Kwanzaa in saaaame,
All would agree with these two cranky guys,
That this special was beyond laaaaaame!

[Cut to a shot of Axel (wearing African kente cloth-made clothing) lighting a set of Kwanzaa candles, while Slappy and Skippy light a menorah; Axel and Slappy look at the camera and shake their heads very rapidly/enthusiastically at the aforementioned song lyrics about this special being "lame"...]

ELVES: [Singing] Here were are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore...

[Cut to a shot of the Warners and a few elves watching A! vidoes on a TV; Yakko holds a few rolled-up Pamela Anderson posters wrapped in a bow, Wakko holds a shiny new mallet with a bow wrapped around it, and Dot holding Mel, with a bow wrapped around *him*. We see Yakko dangle a piece of mistletoe over the tall, female elf's head, and kisses her; Dot does the same thing to Mel. Wakko decides to drag Mully into the shot, and smooch her; all three "friends" of the Warners look very bewildered.]

ELVES: [Singing] Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once morrrre...

[Cut to a shot of Slappy drinking eggnog and trying to ignore this whole song; Elfy, wearing a robe, medal, and scepter that proclaim him "Head Elf", comes dancing and giggling into the scene. Elfy inadvertently steps on Slappy's foot, causing her to yelp in pain. Slappy does a fast burn, whips out a few explosives, and straps them to Elfy's back. The elf does a quick take, before the explosives go off. Elfy is seen hurtling through the ceiling, with Slappy uttering a few chuckles...]

[Cut back to the singing elves...]

ELVES: [Singing] Cheap revenge against those who have crossed us,
Like to the staff at the fast food storrrre...

[Cut to a shot of Freakazoid stomping into the Arctic McDonald's that the gang stopped off at earlier, and heads over to the dimbulb pimple-faced worker at one of the registers.]

FREAKAZOID: [A la Clint Eastwood] It's payback time for Foamy, *punks*! [A fight cloud breaks out between the Freak and the McD's employees...cut back to the elves.]

ELVES: [Singing] Through the years we all will be together,
If the Fates allow...

[Cut to a shot of Plotz...]

PLOTZ: Hmph! Not a chance! See you in the next recycled stock footage "P*k*mon" promo, losers! [Slappy sticks her head in the shot, and hands him an explosive. Plotz goes BOOM!, as Craig would put it...Plotz is seen looking worse for wear afterwards.] [Muttering] Er, well...we'll see....yaaah! [Faints.]

(YAKKO: Not even *that* these days... (the Warners sigh))

[Cut back to the elves once more...however, also joining them is everyone who had something to do with this dumb special, in a very wide group shot, which resembles "The Muppet Movie"'s final song bit: The Warners, the mice, Slappy, Skippy, Axel, Arnold, Snow Miser, Sculder, Mully, Minerva, the Flash, Plastic Man, the Snow Miser's "Mini-Me"'s, Santa, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, Elfy (in bandages from being blown up), Plotz, Bill Gates, Fanboy, Freakazoid (who decides to pat Fanboy on the back out of holiday forgiveness), Foamy (gnawing on a dog bone with a bow on it), Tim, Austin Powers and Dr. Evil (also in bandages from being blown up), Dre, "Whitey", Rico (bearing fruit gift baskets for everyone), the temporary agency thugs/aliens, the Arctic McDonald's employees (in bandages from their fight with Freakazoid), Fred Doppel, Chicken Boo, Dharma and Greg, that obscure 80's rock group Capt. Caps mentioned, Richard Stone, the voice artists for the Warners and the mice, the aliens from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", the Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and Jimmy Durante caricatures, the Muppets, Mo-Ron, Rita, Runt, Superman (who's finally finished responding to his correspondence), Mel Gibson, William Shatner, the cast of "Saturday Night Live", Wesley Snipes, Pip Pumphandle, Bill Murray, the stage crew, and (inexplicably) Brainatra, Romey, Craig, and Captain Caps. The mysterious figure seen a short while ago also shows up; Wakko yanks the "shadow" off his head somehow, revealing the figure to be Snow Miser's brother, Heat Miser. Heat Miser grins...]

(DOT: *Oy*...)

(YAKKO: I cant think of another ludicrosly-sized number to which to compare the size of this thing...)

(WAKKO: I can! Uh, its really, *really*...uh...big?)

(DOT: Works for me...)

ALL: [Singing] Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

[Cut to a shot of Axel, Snow Miser, Pinky, and Billie standing on each others' shoulders near a Christmas tree; Axel curses profusely from the weight of the other three on his shoulders, Snow Miser zaps a few icicles onto the branches, while the two mice hoist the star on top of the tree. Billie then points to a piece of mistletoe hanging overhead, and kisses Pinky...]

[Cut back to the massive group shot.]

ALL: [Singing] And have yourself a Waaaakkoooo little Christmas [Music reaches a crescendo] nooooooooowwwww!

(DOT: After reading this story? Too late...)

[The music ends; however, the ludicrous number of characters gathered causes the flooring to give way, sprawling everyone into the workshop's basement. Sounds of pain can be heard from all.]

DOT: [From off-screen] I've fallen, and I can't get up.

CRAIG: [From off-screen] So much for not ending this thing with tired cliched lines...

BRAINATRA: [From off-screen] Or another chance to use that "two places at once" gag...

ROMEY: [From off-screen] Or more Billie lines...

CAPT. CAPS: [From off-screen] Or another obscure 1980's pop culture reference...

SLAPPY: [From off-screen] Or an original joke...

BRAIN: [From off-screen] Or *without* a painful slapstick gag...

ELFY: [From off-screen] Don't worry---I'll fix it! [A few magical sparks are seen flying out of the hole, and magically, all are standing on a newly constructed floor once more.] Ta-daaaa!

YAKKO: Um...thanks, short stuff. Well, anything else, or is that all?

WAKKO: Not that I can think of...

CRAIG: Um...well, there's still the epilogue that I wrote for this thing...

[All moan once more...]

SLAPPY: At this rate, we'll never get to the wrap party for this flippin' thing. Lousy longwinded hack writers...

BRAIN: [Covering face with hands.] *Indeed*. Let's just get it over with already...

[Fade to black, then into the epilogue...]

[We see frozen screen shots of the characters with captions appearing underneath, a la "Animal House".]

THE WARNERS:
Yakko, Wakko, & Dot returned to the Warner Lot and on Christmas, "Wakko's Wish" was indeed received by trillions of kids, teens, and adults alike.

(YAKKO: On Earth-2...)

(DOT: You said that already.)

(YAKKO: I know...I just figure an alternate dimensions the only place where this thing sold even remotely comparable to the latest Poke-video...).

They were called the next morning by the studio bigwigs with a pitch for a sequel, but that was the last they heard of it.

(DOT: Lousy studio execs...guess they needed the bucks to fund the next Poke-movie...or whatll pass for a promotional budget for that Return of the Joker video...or paying for the editing and redubbing job on that video...)

Wakko never received his Don Knotts videos.

(WAKKO: (Pouting) Dont rub it in...)

PINKY, BILLIE, & BRAIN:
The mice went back to Acme Labs to plan for tomorrow night. They continue to try to take over the world and wait patiently as Romey plots the next major events in their lives for the next fanfic.

(Cut to Romey, whos back at his computer typing away...)

(ROMEY: (Typing) OK, for the next story, Im thinking a combination of Myst, an exploration of how Billies relationship to the boys has developed over the course of all these stories to date...and a cast size smaller than the number of people who graduated with me from high school.)

SLAPPY & SKIPPY:
Slappy returned home where she and Skippy celebrated the last few days of Hanukkah quietly. They spent the good part of the week after Christmas watching "Wakko's Wish", but Skippy never got to see the whole thing, as Slappy kept fastforwarding to her scenes.

AXEL & ARNOLD:
Mr. Foley and Mr. Schwarzenegger received big way-above-scale paychecks for their celebrity appearances in this special. They returned to Hollywood where they went caroling door to door to collect money for Alaskan malamutes who have been injured in snowmobile accidents---a worthy cause. Axel is currently planning a new, gratuitous character-less special, "An Axel Foley Kwanzaa", airing live from his home in Detroit.
Security guards posted around the perimeter of Axel's home, a contract clause with the network airing the special, and an expensive security detection system will prevent any unwanted puppy-children, superheroes, fellow actors, genetically-altered lab mice, and "Saturday Night Live" cast members from showing up for this thing.

(DOT: Think we should watch Axels special, guys?)

(YAKKO: (Flips through TV Guide) Lessee...Masterpiece Theater, Titanic, a new Simpsons episode....well, guess theres nothing else on, so sure.)

TIM:
Mr. Allen established his own line of tools which he claimed were so easy-to-use that even a child could use them. He was jailed after the tools proved defective and several children were injured. He also lost $25,000,000 in lawsuits.

FLASH & PLASTIC MAN:
The Flash and Plastic Man returned to their respective monthly series in DC Comics. The Flash has just finished a seven-month story arc in which he battles The Wallpaper Hanger. He is unimpressed with the scripts lately written, and is accepting any offers to star in other comic books. Plastic Man begins pulling that "two places at once" bit on his fellow superheroic cohorts; however, Batman, annoyed by this inane gag, leaves Plas tied in a complicated knot around a streetpost in Gotham City. It took 3 hours for Plas to undo the knot.

SNOW MISER:
Snow Miser broke his 25-year leave from the acting biz with this special, and is now receiving many offers. He is slated to appear in the upcoming Bond film "Freeze a Jolly Good Fellow", as well as having a cameo in "A Very Gore-y Christmas", Mr. Vice President's latest attempt to prove himself loose and easy in the public eye.

(DOT: Ah, the datedness of pop culture humor...)

(YAKKO: Right now, Gores probably wishing hed (insert 2000 presidential election related reference here))

(WAKKO: No kidding...or else Bush wouldnt have (insert another 2000 presidential election related reference here))

(DOT: And (insert president-elects name here) wouldnt seem as (insert apporpriate adjective here) as his running mate...)

SCULDER & MULLY:
Sculder and Mully returned to FOX, where they finished filming for the season. Sculder was injured in a freak accident during filming involving a Spork, 50 feet of nylon, and a giant cow. He's expected to be better in time to film the next movie.

MEL:
Mr. Gibson, by order of _Santa's Law_, Page 341, Column 2, Line 53, was ordered to stay with Dot, as he was her present. However, after two weeks he couldn't stand her incessant smooching and hugging and so made a break for it. He was last seen in a used camel lot by the Niger River in Timbuktu.

(DOT: So *thats* where he went! (Puts on an explorers hat) Im off, guys...dont wait up.)

(YAKKO: Settle down, Dot...this storys not done *yet*.)

FOAMY:
Foamy was rushed to the Emmitt Nervend Memorial Pet Hospital. There, he received top medical treatment, and although the doctors say he'll never play the fiddle again, they assure him he'll be otherwise fine, and he doesn't mind, since he never played the fiddle in the first place. He successfully sued the pimple-faced kid behind the counter at the Arctic McDonald's.

(YAKKO: For how much? The price of a bus pass?!)

ELFY:
Elfy enjoyed his status as "Head Elf", but soon, a giant scandal erupted involving Beanie Babies, misplaced funds and constant trips to Orlando, Florida that became known as "Beaniegate"; Elfy was demoted from his position as "Head Elf", but still enjoys employment under Santa's Workshop, Inc. as a run-of-the-mill administrative assistant elf and as his *new* life-dream-of-the-moment, a construction worker in Los Angeles.

(WAKKO: What does an administrative...whatever...elf do?)

(DOT: Yknow, filing, copying, covering up Santas near-sweatshop-level-workplace conditions...stuff like that.)

FREAKAZOID & COSGROVE:
Freakazoid and Cosgrove went to Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick, where they each got a hot dog on a stick, as well as lots of little mustard packets. Then they went to the National Museum of Frisbees, followed by Crazy Larry's Circus of Fun, where they saw an iguana walk on stilts. They really enjoyed the experience. Good for them!

(WAKKO: Awww, I wish we couldve gone...)

CHICKEN BOO:
Chicken Boo was soon revealed to be a giant chicken during a flight from Tulsa, Oklaholma to Indianapolis by a Mr. Bobby Knight...however, Mr. Knight took a liking to the giant cluck. Boo is currently working as an assistant coach at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

(DOT: And yet another dated reference has been made....)

(YAKKO: Think Boos in charge of the show over in Bloomington now?)

(DOT: Hmm, a giant chicken or Bobby Knight...kind of hard to pick who Id want to work under if I were a player there....)

RICO, "WHITEY", & DRE:
The gang head back to San Francisco, where they distributed fruit baskets and travel-sized tool kits to people throughout the city. The gang soon resolved their "wanted men" status with the law thanks to the massive levels of "Christmas spirit" generated by their appearance in this special, and are currently doing repair work on the city's trolley car system.

(Cut to Capt. Caps...)

(CAPT. CAPS: And repairs to my *bedroom*, I hope...)

(Pan over to see the three ex-thugs and Mikey are busy repainting a wall of Caps room...)

(DRE: Were doing it, were doing it! Sheesh, man...we said we were *sorry*!)

(CAPT. CAPS: Yeah, youll be *sorry* once my parents send you the bill for the plumbing repiping job...)

(RICO: Awww, man...)

[The epilogue ends...cut back to the massive group gathering.]

YAKKO: *Whew*...some expo! Anything else to add to this thing?

SLAPPY: [Aggravated] *NO*! IT'S OVER! END IT ALREADY!!

YAKKO: Aaaaah, OK...well, then, only one thing left to do!

ALL: GOODNIGHT AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYBODY!

[All wave at the camera, as the music and picture *finally* fade out to...]

THE END

(YAKKO: We *wished*...)

Or is he 29 here in 2000 still, and from our perspective, hed be *28* years old in this story written a year ago?

When In Central City...
Visit the Flash Museum!

That "Two Places At Once" Bit Is:
A. A highly original and witty gag deserving of much praise
B. Getting old enough to be carbon-dated
C. A fairly lame cartoon gimmick beaten into the ground in every fanfic story Brainatra's ever written for

(WARNERS: *C*! *C*!!!)

That "Right Behind 'Em" Bit Is Also:
A. Even lamer (if possible) than that "two places at once" gag
B. Annoying
C. A crutch abused by the writers when desperate for another cheap gag after they've already recycled that "two places at once" bit to death half a dozen times in the same story already.

(DOT: Gee, what do you think?)

(YAKKO: I favor....D: All of the above.)

(DOT: Works for me...)

Flash's Superspeed Powers Are:
A. Actually useful
B. Neato-cool and faboo
C. In a typical comic book fashion, frighteningly demigod-like and overabused by every other "Flash" writer over the past 60 years (with that "vibrate his molecules" bit abused more than that "two places at once" bit ever was...like this one time when the Flash stopped an earthquake in California caused by some villain's device by vibrating his molecules at a certain frequency while racing at superspeed and...ahh, never mind...)

(DOT: Well, I still bet itd be useful to reheat leftovers...)

The Number of Characters In This Thing Was:
A. Way more than that "39 Characters" thing ever had
B. Beyond ludicrous
C. Indication of this story's writers' desire to see their favorite WB or non-WB fictional characters show up in a fanfic story at some point
D. Not helping these Academy Awards ceremony-length credits

(YAKKO: Aaaaahhh....what astronomical-sized number *havent* we compared our stories cast sizes to yet?)

(DOT: Um...uh...er...ooh, I know! Bigger than...a...breadbox? Nah...)

(WAKKO: Uh...*really* big?)

(YAKKO: Aaaahh, lets try again later...)

The Brain <i>will</i> return in: "The Mouse With the Giant Head"

Axel Foley <i>will</i> return in: "Beverly Hills Cop 4: The Same [bleep]in' Number of Sequals As 'Lethal Weapon''s Had"

Don't miss "An Axel Foley Kwanzaa", December 26-January 1 on CBS!

(DOT: Seven nights? After Axels through, I dont think anyone will be left watching that network...less so than there already *are*...)

Also don't miss: "A Very Slappy Chanuka", airing in December on CBS!

(DOT: ...and assuming any critics *survive* Slappys special after she wastes the length of a 20-minute cartoon repeatedly blowing up any naysayers...)

Don't forget to buy HYAWLC *now* on video and DVD! Don't tape this thing off the tube next year when it's been sliced and diced to death to stick more commercials in!

(Sound of the WBCs Mad Hatter screaming from off-screen)

(DOT: Dont mention DVD and editing in the same sentence...hes had a tough week...)

Also don't forget to buy all 57 HYAWLC toys at McDonald's!

(WAKKO: What do I look like I am, *crazy*?! (Points to a giant pile of toys sitting in the seat in front of the sibs)

HYAWLC soundtrack available on: dubbed-to-cassette copies using Romey's stereo and a pile of old Christmas/musical soundtrack LP's...

(DOT: They spared no expense...far as the payrolls concerned. Come to think of it, thatd explain the lack of advertising for this story...)

Read the overpriced paperback novel translation of HYAWLC. Also available on audio book cassette, as read by the "Cursing One" himself! Don't miss it!

(WARNERS: *Shudder*)

The *Next* New WBC Chainlink Christmas Special will occur:
A. Next year
B. Next millennium
C. When the writers come up with some actual original jokes vs. recycled pop culture references/tired spatial distortion gags/whatever...

(DOT: So whens the sun due to turn into a red giant and envelop the inner solar system again?)

---
[Cut to the Water Tower; the shield opens up. Yakko, Wakko and Dot pop out, surrounded in the background by every character that appeared in this fanfic.]

ALL: It's over! What are you waiting for?!

(DOT: For this thing to truly end?)

[The shield door closes.]

[Fade to the Amblin Entertainment logo. Instead of the A! music, we hear a Christmasy version of the Amblin Entertainment logo. We then cut to a shot of the writers of this thing...]

CRAIG, BRAINATRA & ROMEY: Um...what the heck was *that* music?!

CAPTAIN CAPS: An obscure bit of music, only heard at the end of the movies "The Color Purple", "The Money Pit", "Young Sherlock Holmes" and "E.T". It was written, if I recall clearly, by one John Williams!

ROMEY: Really?

CRAIG & ROMEY: All right!

BRAINATRA: [Sounding hesitant] Um...yeah. [Walks off-screen, muttering.] Ugh...a "Money Pit" reference...could've at least made a reference to a *tolerable* movie from the 1980's...aaah, these credits have run on long enough as it is, and I'm sick of typing...I'm going to bed! [Yawns] [From off-screen, the sound of a door closing can be heard.]

[The others merely glance at the slammed-shut door, and shrug.]

CRAIG: [Scratches his head] Maybe he just needs some coffee? [Holds up a Mr. Coffee coffeemaker pot of coffee and a bag of sugar.] Wonder if he likes it black or with extra, extra sugar...[Shrugs; dumps half the bag of sugar into the coffeepot; sips from the pot directly] Ehhh...kind of weak.

(WAKKO: (Gazes longingly at the image of Craigs coffee, and makes whimpering noises))

ROMEY: Or maybe Brainatra could use this handmade Billie beanbag doll, made from an old Pinky beanbag toy and three taken-apart-and-recycled P*k*mon stuffed dolls? [Holds up a marginal-looking homemade stuffed Billie doll...] Ah, yes, Billie...the WB merchandisers and WBA writers may have ignored or underused you, but *I* won't! [Brushes a few bits of lint off the doll...] Oops...better use the lint roller on this baby later...

CAPT. CAPS: Or maybe Brainatra could use this collection of the best hits of the 1980's? Featuring even *more* groups no one but me and six other people have heard of or remember! [Holds up an LP album labelled "Best of the 1980's".] [Reading the album's included groups.] Heh, heh..."Menudo"...let me tell you, none of this group's members' careers probably never reached a higher point than as part of "Menudo"! [Glances at the Menudo group members list] Especially probably whoever this Ricky....Martin...guy is.

(DOT: Ooooh, hed make a nice Christmas gift, *too*...)

(YAKKO: Watch it, Dot...we dont need *two* celebs going AWOL...)

[The three writers begin to debate amongst themselves, as we fade out from this scene...]

[Fade to the Warner Brothers logo, brightly colored and festooned with lights. The final chords of the closing regular A! theme song play, and we fade out once and for all.]

(The lights come up in the theater...we see the sibs get up from their seats)

(YAKKO: Well, its finally over, sibs...whatve we learned?)

(DOT: That its possible to use really bad and incredibly stupid comic book pseudo-science, repetitive space-time distortion gags, and December 25th-only-connected magic to move through walls?)

(WAKKO: That Ill be reminded of never seeing those Don Knotts videos every time this shows rerun? *Sniff*...)

(DOT: That one can pretend that a major Jewish holiday doesnt exist in favor of enough crass commercial advertising to make Microsoft blush?)

(WAKKO: That that McDonalds in the Arctic didnt even carry the right Happy Meal toys?)

(DOT: That one can fill a Christmas special with street gangs, alien invasions, ninja-thugs, foul-mouthed Detroit policemen, repetitive abuse of the laws of physics, rejects from unfunny late-night-Saturday comedy shows, obscure superheroes, nearly-forgotten songs from 15 years ago, ripoffs of major Broadway musical songs, enough cast members to put Avogadros number to shame, *and* a dumber-than-average Final Confrontation?!)

(YAKKO: Sorry sibs, but youre *both* wrong!)

(DOT & WAKKO: Huh?!)

(YAKKO: I learned...that in future fanfics, we make sure that any characters are part of the Screen Actors Guild. That oughta keep the cast size from having to be expressed in scientific notation...)

(WAKKO & DOT: Hear, hear!)

(YAKKO: Come on, sibs, lets go home and watch Axels *new* Christmas special---)

(DOT: The one live from Washington, D.C. where Al Gore and George W. Bush have froze themselves in blocks of ice until one of them concedes to be thawed out?)

(WAKKO: Faboo!)

(The Warners exit the theater, as we cut to ACME Labs for one last scene...)

(ANNOUNCER: So, what did the three of you learn?)

(BILLIE: Never try to figure out your origins without the help of Hawkings making a new breakthrough in space-time theory? (Rubs the sides of her head) *Brother*, did I need that aspirin...)

(BRAIN: That this seasonal special was even *more* torturous the second time around? Between the excessively sized cast of characters, the wretchedly and offensively unscientific principles applied throughout, the cloyingly tooth-rotting sweetness of the songs, and more of the all-but-expected insipid fast food gags, ninja-thugs, and the loathsome two places at once bit, Id sooner have stayed at *home*...)

(PINKY: I learned about friendship, the true meaning of Christmas, how to bring about peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, that we should all get along...oooh, ooh, and that those elves have the *funniest* shoes! HAHAHA! NARF! TROZ!)

(BRAIN: I dont think this aspirins working quickly *enough*.)

(The DVD ends...we cut to a cheesy DVD menu choice screen consisting of Wakko in mid-scarfing down a giant candy cane, with the screen choice cursor consisting of Axels face with a little Santa hat on it...)

That was just as funny the second time around. Loved it. Thanks for remembering.

That was funny stuff and I enjoyed the commentary by the Warners on various scenes and the cast size. Dot had Mel Gibson.. ha ha I bet Danny Glover can't help him now. And Heat Miser did make a cameo, great! That's one DVD I wish I could own.

I forgot to mention my favorite parts.

1. Dot recieving Mel Gibson and her commentary about how she loves him (I'm heading out, don't wait up).

2. The ninja thugs trash Captain Caps's room and later have to clean it up!

3. A cast that makes the Ten Commandmets look like a kindergarten production. My favorites include Freakazoid, Tim Allen (why is he here?), Dharma & Greg (ditto) and all the DC superheroes.

4. A reference to the Shade, a classic, albeit obscure DC villain.

5. The Axel Foley Kwanzza and Slappy Hanakuah specials (both on CBS, they'll carry anything, look at Yes Dear)

6. Austin Powers, groovy baby!!!

7. The giant Pikachu

and about a half dozen other things I can't name once again good work and although you guys have already sent the sequel to limbo, maybe you can come up with a different one.
