Part 1

Speaker	Dialogue
[Inside the Boonchuy residence, Mrs. Boonchuy carries a box of decorations and hangs a garland, and places mini Christmas items. At the kitchen table, Domino is in a Santa Claus outfit. Mrs. Boonchuy puts a Santa hat on her head, and she meows softly. At the living room, she places more Christmas items on the bookshelf and fixes the Christmas tree. In the kitchen, Mr. Boonchuy is sporting a festive sweater as Anne bobs her head to music. Her mother comes in and puts a green Santa hat on her head, which she adjusts with a smile. The Plantars are shown to be confused of what's happening.]
Hop Pop	Anne, what's happening?
Sprig	[Hopping onto the table] Are we under attack? Are these fortifications? Booby traps? Weapons?
Anne	Dude, calm down. It's just Christmas.
Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop	It's what?
Anne	Shoot. I never explained this? Christmas is one of the biggest Earth holidays. And us Boonchuys go big!
Sprig	Ah. A holiday! Neato! So what's it about?
(Anne was about to say something but the phone interrupted her.)
Mrs. Boonchuy	Happy Holidays from the Boonchuys. Yes. This is she. (gasps) Really?! It's the downtown L.A. Christmas-Palooza Parade! There was a last minute opening!
Anne and Mr. Boonchuy	(gasps)
Sprig	The what?
(Polly and Hop Pop shrug and all of them go with it and gasp.)
Anne	(opens up a poster) It's the Annual Holiday Parade. Local businesses and schools and sports teams all make floats. It's always my mom's dream to have one at the restaurant.
Polly	The heck is a float?
Hop Pop	(sighs) Every answer just brings more and more questions.
Mr. Boonchuy	Could this finally be the year?
(Anne and Mr. Boonchuy giggle and start dancing.)
Mrs. Boonchuy	Thank you so much... I can't believe it, but I'm going to say no. (Anne and Mr. Boonchuy, the latter lifting the former, stop and fall breaking the table. Mrs. Boonchuy hangs up the phone.)
Anne	Mom, why'd you say no?
Mrs. Boonchuy	Honey. As much as I would love a Thai Go float and I love Christmas more than anything. It would way draw to much attention to us.
Anne	Yeah. But...
Mrs. Boonchuy	I mean three frogs from another dimension parading in front of all of L.A.? Even in disguises, that's hardly keeping a low profile.
Mr. Boonchuy	True, especially not with that evil king coming after you.
Mrs. Boonchuy	Honestly, we're just happy you're home to spend the holiday with us. That's more than enough for me. (is going to the kitchen, but Anne and the Plantars stop her as they peek)
Anne	But this is your dream.
Mrs. Boonchuy	Yeah, well... (turns around) (nervous) we can still do all the normal traditions. Carols, cookies, decorating the tree, gifts, the family Christmas card.
Mr. Boonchuy	(while carrying a camera) Ooh, that reminds me. I picked the theme for third year's card. "Candid". It's gonna be groundbreaking.
Sprig	Huh. What was last year's theme?
Anne	Ungulates. (shows them the photo from last year. The family is shown in ungulates onesis)
Sprig	(disturbed) What the heck?
Mrs. Boonchuy	See? We can still have a great holiday without a float at the parade.
(Anne feels disappointed as she crosses her arms. Mr. Boonchuy takes a photo of the Plantars, but the flash causes them visual discomfort.)
Mr. Boonchuy	I'm gonna need to be quick (points them) on the draw if I wanna capture us in our... (sees the picture) OH MY GOODNESS! (While the Plantars groan and try to clear their eyes) OK. Next time no flash.
Anne	Right. So uh... the Plantars and I... have something else to do. OK. Bye. (Mr. Boonchuy takes a picture of them.)
(After they got to Anne's room, she makes a call.)
Anne	Hi. Yes this is Anne Boonchuy. You just called about a parade float for Thai Go. Well, we'd like to change that no to a yes. (stands up) Great! Thanks! Bye! (hangs up the phone)
Sprig	WHOA!
Polly	PLOT TWIST!
Hop Pop	Anne, what're you doin'?
Anne	Did you see my mom? She was clearly devastated and trying to hide it.
Hop Pop	I did sense a subtle melancholy.
Anne	(bends down and points at him) My parents have already made too many sacrifices for me. Well, no more. This year, I'm gonna give them the greatest present ever. The parade float of their dreams. Are you with me?
Sprig	Yeah!
Hop Pop	Let's do it!
Polly	Sounds good to me!
Sprig	Before we go, could you explain this holiday to me?
Anne	(points him) No time! We only have a few days so let's motor, people!
Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop	YEAH!
(Anne and the Plantars head out into the city to get down to business.)
(Meanwhile, in Amphibia, a robot is shown making a snowman, but then the castle appears flying along with a whole fleet. Triple B meets King Andrias for an announcement. They wear some Christmas elf costumes.)
Blair	King Andrias, the robot army is nearly complete.
Bartley	Ahead of schedule AND under budget.
King Andrias	Excellent, Triple B. (points them) But what are you wearing?
(Full Triple B shown while a fast Christmas jingle plays.)
Bartley	Pretty cute, right?
Blair	It's late winter, which means it's almost time for the human holiday, Christmas! Marcy told us about it, remember?
King Andrias	No.
Blair	It's fun! We even got you a Christmas gift. Stay right here. (runs to bring him the gift, when he comes back, you can see that it is a giant gift, he grunts and strains) (reaches the stairs as pants and sighs) OK. Stairs. (raises the gift as grunts, strains and grunts) (reaches the top, gives one last push as he strains and grunts. He manages to get there, and is dropped by exhaustion and sighs)
King Andrias	(With a cute face) Oohh. (points at the gift) Is that for me? (Bartley and Branson settle their heads) (waves his hands and giggles at it, opens the gift, sees what it is while gasps and takes it out) Wow! What is it exactly?
Branson	Oh. This is our newest drone soldier prototype, sir. If you sign off, we can start mass producing them tomorrow.
King Andrias	GOODY! (drops the drone to the ground and takes control and VR goggles) Oooh and look at thiiiis. Nifty. (He drops the controller to the ground and puts on the VR goggles, but notices he is still wearing his crown.) Pfft. Crown. (chuckles) (He takes off his crown and puts on his VR goggles then grabs the control.) Let's see what this baby can do. (He turns on the drone and makes it fly.) Steering's kinda tricky. (Blair stands up and along with Bartley and Branson gasp) (the drone is about to cross the Triple B, so they crouch down) Hmm, what's this for? (presses a button and makes the drone take out a few weapons) OOOHH! Now, this I like!
Branson	Glad to hear it, sir! It just needs a little testing and it'll be-- (King Andrias brings the drone in sharply) Whoa! Good to go.
King Andrias	Testing, eh? I just had a grand idea. (gets up from the throne and takes off his VR glasses) I can send this drone to Earth and destroy Anne virtually. I never should've sent a robot to do a newt's job.
Blair	But technically you're still sending a robot to do--
Bartley and Branson	(cover his mouth) Shut up, Blair!
King Andrias	Get ready, Anne. Once I figure out how to control this thing, you're finished. (puts on the VR glasses and prepares to attack Triple B, so they panic and try to run away) For such tiny legs, you three sure move fast.
(King Andrias continues to attack Triple B with the drone while laughing evilly. It then closes the door itself.)

Part 2

Speaker	Dialogue
(A city avenue is shown. A busker is playing her guitar while she brings a suitcase where she puts money in it. A gentleman leaves her a ticket as she walks. The busker starts to sing.)
Busker	♩I'm sure you feel it coming, there's something on the breeze♩ (Anne and the Plantars arrive at the avenue by bicycle and contemplate the environment) ♩It might be slightly snowing or 70 degrees♩ (The Plantars are impressed as the environment is shown) ♩Regardless of your hemisphere, the holidays are here♩ ♩And with them come the tiding of this special time of the year♩
Polly	So, what's the plan, Anne? How we making this boat?
Anne	Float. (hands Polly a piece of drawing paper) And don't worry, I've got a great idea for this bad boy.
Polly	(as watches the drawing) Oooohh!
Anne	The first thing we'll need is some technical help. Anyone know any tech experts?
Polly	(opens the Plantar clamshell phone) Do I?
(Anne and the Plantars arrive at the IT Gals' residence. Electronic Christmas music plays as the robots dance. The Plantars are impressed. Anne is now shown talking to the IT Gals.)
Anne	Thank you so much for helping me with this float.
Ally	No problem! We'll do anything electronic, animatronic.
Jess	Technotronic... really any other "tronic".
Anne	Thanks you two. You're absolute lifesavers
Ally	(points to her and gives her a thumbs up) Hey, don't mention it.
Jess	Now go grab some eggnog and enjoy the party!
Anne	(clicks tongue them) (goes to a table and has some eggnog) (talks to a robot cat) So, come here often? (the robot cat makes her a cookie) (gasps) (recives it) Cookie!
Hop Pop	(confused) This holiday makin' any more sense to you kids?
Sprig	Nope.
Polly	Less, actually.
Sprig	(takes something from his glass of eggnog and wipes himself) Come on. Let's just ask.
Ally and Jess	(encourage Pandatron to drink a large glass) CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! (Pandatron shorts out and shuts down)
Sprig	(raises his right hand to get their attention) 'Scuse me, (The Plantars with a cute face) could you explain Christmas to us?
Ally	Y'all... (points them) never heard of Christams?
Hop Pop	Eeehh... Noo...
Ally	It's a Holiday! You celebrate, get a tree, decotate.
Jess	You make cookies, party hard.
Sprig	"Get" a tree?
Polly	(with a cute face) COOKIES!?
Hop Pop	I'm still confused...
Ally	Just be careful when you're tying lights to the tree. If you get the voltage wrong... (imitates explosion)
Jess	Nothing ruins Christmas like a tree on fire.
Hop Pop	(makes some notes) Flaming trees, bad. Got it.
Jess	(snaps) Oh! Forgot to mention that on Christmas you have to get a (looks at Ally with a cute face) gift for the person who means the most to you.
Ally	It better be good too. A bad gift can pretty much spoil the whole thing.
Sprig	(looks at Anne, she dances and laughs together with the robot cat) So what you're saying is I have to get Anne the perfect gift... (in deep voice) or I'll ruin Christmas. (gets traumatized, drops down and covers himself)
Hop Hop	This is one of those stressful holidays, isn't it?
(After Anne and the Plantars leave the IT Gals residence...)
Anne	(while putting on her helmet) All right! Technies secured! Next up, we'll need some decorations to populate the float. And I think know just (puts on her tightening belt) who'll have some.
(Anne and the Plantars go to the Museum of Natural History. Interior decoration shown for the holiday.)
Sprig	Woooow...
Hop Pop	I didn't think this place could get any crazier.
(A man looks at an old Christmas wreath, but Doctor Jan appears out of nowhere, greets him and freaks out.)
Dr. Jan	Hello, sir! (the men screams) Interested in learning the history of mistletoe? It's (the man feels uncomfortable) a not-so-jolly tale of monarchic betrayals and bloodshed originating in the early 13th century-- (looks Anne and the Plantars) Anne! (while the man escapes) You're just in time for a festive lecture. Strap in.
Anne	Hey, Dr. Jan. Actually, I'm building my parents a parade float and I need all the help I can get. Decorations, props...
Dr. Jan	OOOOHH, I love the Chistmapalooza parade! You could use some mannequins and wintry flora from our dioramas. Take your pick.
Anne	(while cries with joy) Thanks, Dr. Jan! My mom is gonna love this! (is going to pick up some parties of choice)
Hop Pop	(clears throat for her attention) Dr. Jan? You're an educator? We need a clear answer here. (desperate) WHAT IN THE FLYING FROG IS CHRISTMAS ABOUT?
Dr. Jan	Interest? (takes him in his cheeks) In history?! My time has come!
(Kids were looking at a few mannequins as they see Anne in a glass window.)
Anne	Aha! (chuckles) (The kids run away from her. Grabs her tape measure from her skirt) This (measures the mannequin) bone structure is perfect for Santa!
(Behind Dr. Jan and the Plantars, Anne drags a mannequin to the ground.)
Dr. Jan	It started with recognition of the winter solstice and the burning of the yule log in the 4th century.
Hop Pop	Okay, (writes down in his notes) four centuries.
Anne	(takes her phone out and shows a rudolph mannequin in front of her) Well, (snaps her finger) hello, Rudolph.
(The Plantars were groaning while listening to Dr. Jan.)
Dr. Jan	Many modern traditions (Anne carries 5 reindeer mannequins, losing her balance) come from the ancient Roman feast of Saturnalia. (Anne falls to the ground) There's also the Dutch Sinterklaas.
Anne	(In front of a bear and a mammoth mannequins) So many options. Wooly mammoths are wintery. Nah, it'd never fit. But, maybe...
(Anne and two security guards wheeled the mammoth mannequin.)
Dr. Jan	Others argue it has less to do with history and more to do with the interests of major soda conglomerates.
Polly	(exaggerated) Make it stop!
Sprig	My head hurts. It has too much knowledge!
Dr. Jan	And all of this resuliting a celebratory period of feasting ad gift-giving of family and friends! (a kid cackles) Huh? (sees the kid taking off a dinosaur tooth)
Kid	(roars) I'm a dino dentist!
(8 kids were cheering onto the dinosaur's skeleton.)
Dr. Jan	(stands up) Oh, no, not again. Please excuse me. (runs to the skeleton)
Polly	(groans) I give up. (slides to the ground) We'll never understand this stuff.
Hop Pop	I think I'm starting to get it. (Turns his notebook page) It sounds like Swamphollow's Eve. But without the ritual sacrifices.
Sprig	I still think it's all about giving presents. Whatever I get Anne has to be really good. Perfect, even. Or else!
Anne	Okay, guys. Ready for our next stop? (The wagon is full of creepy mannequins. The Plantars made a scared reaction) What?
Hop Pop	I think I spoke too soon about the ritual sacrifices.
(The busker strums her guitar. The scene cuts the exterior of the museum.)
Busker	♩A bucket of fried chicken, (Anne places Hop Pop in the wagon) a costume for your dad♩ (As Anne almost starts biking, the Plantars pointed at a hot chocolate stand) ♩A demon who will stuff you, in a sack if you've been bad♩ (Anne and the Plantars slurped down their hot chocolate and sighed. Anne kicks up her bike stand and starts biking) ♩A reindeer gets promoted, an old man confronts his fear♩ (a family laughs to each other at a face cutout standee) ♩Of karma and mortality, (a family with gifts sees Anne and her wagon of mannequins. The busker walks down) This special time of year♩.
(In the sky, the drone-prototype appears, handled by King Andrias, he tries to control it, but suddenly collides with a building, but then manages to set it down. Meanwhile, in the throne room, King Andrias is shown watching through the VR Glasses, while Triple B ends up tired.)
King Andrias	Hello, Earth! (look down the avenue) Wow. Lotta people down there. Now, where is that Anne Boonchuy? (As he looks straight ahead again, he is about to cross through a group of pigeons.) Wait, what? (He growls when bumps into them one by one.) (The drone falls.) OH NO! (The drone passes through a billboard advertising a product that kills insects.) (back to the throne room...) (grunts and groans) (takes off his VR Goggles and his eyes are red with red lines) Man, I've got to get better at (Blair hands him an open can of Zap-O-rade) these controls. (He receives the can, gulps it down completely, then crushes the can and throws it behind.)
(Already on December 22, while listening to a Christmas rock, the Thai community helps Anne and the Plantars to assemble the float.)
Anne	(while giving them a thumbs up) Thanks for your help, everyone!
(Later, at the Willowbrooke Mall, Anne is carrying a batch of Christmas lights, while the Plantars help her carry it, but then Sprig gets sidetracked and looks for some present.)
Sprig	(looks at a television) Hmm... Nuh-uh. (looks at a puppy) Nope. (looks at a depressing portrait and then turns away) Garbage! (leaves the premises) It's all garbage!
Painter	(sighs) He's right.
(Already on December 23, Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy open the door loudly, causing Anne and the Plantars to wake up.)
Mr. & Mrs. Boonchuy	Cookies?
Anne, Sprig, Polly and Hop Pop	COOKIES!
(In the kitchen, the Boonchuys and the Plantars make a batch of cookies, when she leaves them baking they watch anxiously. Mr. Boonchuy is about to take a picture of them, but Hop Pop just sneezes. In the end, Mr. Boonchuy just gets another horrible photo and he dislikes it.)
(At night, in the garage, Anne has Frobo turn on his lights, so he can finish the star with a soldering iron, while in the attic, Sprig tries to make a model with paint and popsicle sticks, while Domino accompanies him.)
Sprig	(gets frustrated and throws away his model) GARBAGE! (points to a large model) IT'S ALL GARBAGE! (flops down on the table. Domino spits a mouth hair on him)
(Already on December 24, the IT Gals join the float with their truck, then, they along with Anne and the Thai community observe it as it is finished.)
Anne	We did it! (highs 5 with Sprig) Whoo! Thanks, guys. Mom and Dad are gonna love it. This is gonna be the best Christmas ever! (a reindeer falls and just saves Sprig) We can fix that.
(Back at the Boonchuy residence, a little snow falls and ends up in the mailbox, but then it melts. Anne leaves as she leads Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy. They have their eyes covered.)
Anne	OK. So I really wanted to do something special for you guys since you've done so much for me. And well... open your eyes.
(Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy open their eyes. They gasp at the sight of the float. Certain parts are shown and then the full profile is shown. The IT Gals lean out the right window of their truck suddenly.)
Ally and Jess	SURPRISE! (horn honks)
Mrs. Boonchuy	Wow! This is amazing! (giggles) But what about (shows her) keeping a low profile?
(At the top of the float, the Plantars appear.)
Hop Pop	Ho Ho... Uuhh... Line?
Polly	(after reviewing the script) Ho!
Hop Pop	Are you sure? Doesn't sound right.
Anne	See? No one will suspect anything. I wasn't gonna let you give up on your dreams 'cause of me. (looks her) You wanted this for so long and you deserve it.
Mrs. Boonchuy	(hughs her) (pleased) It's perfect. Thank you so much.
Anne	Merry Christmas, Mom.
Mr. Boonchuy	(Just takes a picture of them after he chuckles, but the picture came out blurry and with their very weird faces) GOSH DANG IT! I will get the perfect holiday photo (desperate) or I will DIE TRYING! (The reindeer falls back towards him, but he screams and dodges so it ends up on the ground.) I'm sorry, Santa!

Part 3

Speaker	Dialogue
(At night, the annual holiday parade begins. The main avenue is shown with all the floats of the year parading.)
Annual holiday parade announcer	Welcome, everyone, to the annual holiday parade! And introducing newcomers... THAI GO!!!
(On the Thai Go float, Polly is shown handing out sweets to the audience while Hop Pop is accompanying her.)
Hop Pop	HO HO... uumm... line...
Polly	Ugh, you gotta be kidding me. You're an actor!
Anne	Whoo! (looks her)
Mrs. Boonchuy	(sniffles)
Anne	Mom? What's wrong? If it's not perfect, I'll fix it!
Mrs. Boonchuy	No no. It's just really nice to be part of the community like this. (while looks the people) Ever since your father and I came here from Bangkok, it's been a challenge fitting in. I've always thought (puts her hands together) making it into this parade would mean we had family done it.
Anne	Wow... I never knew you and Dad felt that way and after months is Wartwood, I know what it's like feeling out of place. (She joins Mrs. Boonchuy and they both watch the audience cheering)
(In an alley the drone appears. King Andrias is then shown frustrated.)
King Andrias	I can't wait to squash this stupid world. At this rate, it'll take a miracle to find Anne! (suddenly he finds the Thai Go float and sees Anne)
Anne	WHOO! I'M ANNE BOONCHUY! (jumps) I'M ANNE BOONCHUY! (throws them some sweets)
Sprig	She's Anne Boonchuy!
King Andrias	Well... that was easy. Oh yeah! I remember this holiday! (watches a couple of Christmas trees) Glowing trees, (watches a couple playing with a nut smasher) nut smashers, (watches a giant robotic Santa) red-suited jolly man with a beard... OOOOHH! That gives me an idea. (drives the drone towards the giant robotic Santa) Let's get festive with this! (chuckles)
(King Andrias makes the drone meet up with the giant robotic Santa and makes some thick cables appear to tie him up and then from the tail, a stinger appears, he injects it inside and from the stinger a few robotic spiders appear. Meanwhile, dark Christmas music plays. After a few seconds, the robotization is 100% complete.)
Robotic voice	Robotification complete. Equipped for battle and redy to rock!
King Andrias	Well... Merry Christmas... TO ME.
(Back on the Thai Go float, Anne and the Plantars are dancing as Mrs. Boonchuy watches.)
Mrs. Boonchuy	You were right, Anne. I shouldn't have been so worried about everything. I can't believe I almost missed out on (raises her arms) this! I love Christmas so much! (audience ovation)
Mr. Boonchuy	(crouches down and gets the camera ready) (chuckles) This is gonna be SO candid. (Anne, Mrs. Boonchuy and the Plantars gather for the photo)
King Andrias	(through the giant robotic Santa after he turned around and sees them. they listen to it) Ho ho HO. Hello, Anne Boonchuy. (ready a laser gun)
Mr. Boonchuy	(just takes a picture of them, but when he watches them, he gets frustrated again) Aw man. (in the photo it shows Anne, Mrs. Boonchuy and the Plantars panting) Well that's definitely ruined.
Anne	That voice! It can't be! King Andrias?!
Polly	SANTA?
Sprig	King Andrias is Santa?!
Hop Pop	This holiday just keeps getting weirder!
(Driven by King Andrias, the giant robotic Santa gets up, turns around and with a pair of lasers fired from his eyes, destroys the Ted's Electronic float. He steps forward as he crushes the remains. The public believes that it is part of the event.)
Men 2	Wow! This is a big step up from last year.
(The giant robotic Santa grabs a giant candy cane from Construct-A-Carnivore's float and throws it at Thai Go's float. The vibration caused makes her unsteady for a moment as Polly flies into the air. The public is scared. Polly ends up in the front of the IT Gals' van.)
Polly	WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE, NOW!!!
Ally and Jess	(with cute faces and drawings of robot heads) BU-BUT... GIANT ROBOT!!
Polly	ALLY! JESS! PUNCH IT!!!
Ally and Jess	(shake themselves to regain consciousness) RIGHT!
(Jess hits the reverse pedal and they speed away just as the giant robotic Santa double-fists them. The float turns around and goes faster. The giant robotic Santa chases them.)
King Andrias	(cackling) Wait! You didn't even get to open your presents!
Polly	(after being with Hop Pop on top of the tree) Hold up. Presents? Maybe we should hear this guy out.
(The giant Santa takes out a pair of gift-cannons on his shoulders and throws their explosive caps at them. He dodges them as they pant.)
Polly	ANDRIAS, YOU DOG!
(The float rotates to the left. The giant robotic Santa collides with a building and then gets up and continues to chase them.)
King Andrias	(laughs) I mean... HO HO HO!
Anne	Come on guys! Grab anything you can and fight back!
Sprig	(tries to get the reindeer out, but couldn't) Really?! Now you're unbreakable?!
(Mrs. Boonchuy tosses him a couple of large candy canes and Mr. Boonchuy tosses him a few dangling spheres. Anne picks up the large transparent sphere and throws it at him. The giant robotic Santa activates a Christmas tree-shaped shield to destroy a candy cane, shoots fire from his mouth to incise the spheres, then catches the transparent wait and launches them back. King Andrias cackles.)
Anne	(screams as she dodges the sphere) OH! I AM SO SICK OF ROBOTS!
Hop Pop	He's too powerful!
Sprig	Anne, does Santa have a weakness?
Mr. Boonchuy	Should we throw milk and cookies?
Anne	I don't think that's going to work, you guys!
(Sprig and Polly grab a giant cookie and throw it at the giant robotic Santa.)
King Andrias	Ho ho-- (hit by cookie) OOOOH!
Anne	Well, I'll be danged.
King Andrias	Hew, now! (runs again) That's not jolly!
(The IT Gals scream at a dead end, so Jess hits the brakes. The giant robotic Santa corners them.)
Anne	We're all out of... everything!
King Andrias	Looks like this is the end of the road, Anne... literally! And you've (the giant robotic Santa readies a giant laser gun in his mouth) been a very bad girl this year.
Sprig	What do we have have left to throw? Something! Anything!
Anne	The tree! We've gotta--
Polly	Light it on fire! (with a cute face) Finally!
(Anne takes the tree and puts it in a can-cannon. Sprig picks it up and takes aim at the giant robotic Santa. Hop Pop strike a match and light the fuse.)
Anne	HEY ANDRIAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
King Andrias	(from the throne room) Hey, thanks. You too. Wait... NO!!
(The tree is shot. The tone "Ode to Joy" is heard. The tree stabs the giant robotic Santa and from the top, stabs right through the drone, destroying it. The giant robotic Santa loses control as its lasers misfire into the sky and a few fireworks go off; the music quickly transitions to "Anne's Theme" as the giant robotic Santa is destroyed and is dropped.)
Timmy	Daddy, is (points it) Santa gonna be OK?
Timmy's father	(chuckles) (bends over and takes on his back) No, Timmy. I don't think so.
(Suddenly it starts to snow. The Boonchuys, the Plantars and the IT Gals come out to see him.)
Anne	I don't believe this. Look! It's snowing.
Sprig	(sticks out his tongue to taste it) Nope. Ash. It's ash.
Anne	Aah... That makes more sense.
(Back in Amphibia, King Andrias is furious. He rises from the throne.)
King Andrias	(pulls out the VR goggles and smashes it) DANG IT! IT'S (throws the controller to the ground) THE (Triple B watches him for a moment and they decide to leave) STUPID CONTROLLER'S FAULT! (pulls out his sword and destroys the controller, throwing a tantrum) I WAS SO CLOSE TOO!!! (pants)
Darcy	(chuckles) That was pathetic. (as holds a 20 sided die) (King Andrias looks him) And you call yourself a king?
King Andrias	(walks to the balcony) It doesn't matter. Against (looks his full army) the full force of our army, none shall stand. (the Full Army is shown) Not Anne, not Earth, not anyone.
(Back on Earth, the Boonchuys and the Plantars return to the Boonchuy residence, as the dilapidated float is seen.)
Newperosn on radio	Police are still cleaning up the debris well into the night. (Mr. Boonchuy turns off the radio)
Mrs. Boonchuy	(groans and giggles)
Anne	Mom! What's wrong? Are you OK?
Mrs. Boonchuy	(laughs) That was so dangerous!
(The Boonchuys and the Plantars laugh and then sigh.)
Mr. Boonchuy	A murderous Santa robot. Never thought I'd see that!
(The Boonchuys and the Plantars get out of the van.)
Sprig	Scary stuff.
Hop Pop	It was the combo of jolly AND murderous that really made it feel special.
Anne	Mom, sorry my gift almost got us killed.
Mrs. Boonchuy	Anne, stop. (turns and looks at her) Your heart was in the right place and that's what Christmas is all about.
Hop Pop	IS IT?
Anne	Thanks, Mom. (hugh with her)
Polly	I am SO confused.
Sprig	(steps forward) Can someone finally explain what this holiday actually means?
Anne	I guess it's about spending time with the people you love and all the presents and traditions are just a way to express that love.
Mrs. Boonchuy	(takes Anne on the shoulders) But at the end of the day, all that matters is that you're together. Like your father, (show him) he's still happy even though he didn't get his perfect photo.
Mr. Boonchuy	Oh, I didn't? (takes a picture out of his pocket)
Anne	What?
Mrs. Boonchuy	When? How?
Mr. Boonchuy	Candid, baby.
(Mr. Boonchuy shows them the photo. They were celebrating for the victory against the giant robotic Santa. The group is impressed.)
Sprig	So it's not about the gifts at all?
Anne	Nope.
Sprig	Phew... 'Cause (takes out a present) I tried to get you the perfect present but it's not that good. I'd much rather spend time together instead of giving--
Anne	(takes the present) Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (chuckles)
Sprig	(worried) No... really... it's dumb! (Anne opens the present and sees that it is a small wooden model of her) It's you. 'Cause... you know... (clears throat) You're me hero.
Anne	(pleased) Thanks, dude. (bends down and hugs him)
Polly	OK, even I think that's sweet.
Mr. Boonchuy	Now, let's go inside and eat cookies!(enters the residence)
Anne, Sprig, Polly, Hop Pop and Mrs. Boonchuy	(cheer) Cookies!!! (enter the residence)

Busker	♩Whatever makes you happy, whatever gets you through♩ ♩Whatever lets you know that I am feelings this with you♩ ♩If you believe it's special, then that's what makes it special♩ ♩It's a special... it's a special...♩ ♩It's our special... time of year♩ (leaves)
(Back at the Boonchuy residence, Anne thinks about what she will write as a letter on the living room table.)
Anne	(in her thoughs) (writing) I can't imagine spending the holidays without your family. I know how hard it is to be apart and not know of you'll ever see each other again. So I'm writing to let you know that your daughter is alive. She's trapped in another world, but I promise... I'm going to bring her back home safe. Signed... a friend.
