Chapter 4: "Christmas Rescue"

Icy finally got the kids settled down enough for them to sit down and eat. She gave each of them a glass of juice, some vegetables, and a cookie.

Suddenly, she heard some strange noises coming from the living room. "Stay here!" She told the kids as she ran out to the living room.

There was a huge hole in the roof, and a huge robot arm was reaching in through the hole, trying to grab Slam, Rev, and Shadow. Rev dodged the arm, zipping up to Icy. "Icy, I think we have a problem!"

"I'd say so, Rev!" Icy said.

 Slam grabbed the robot's arm and tried to rip it off, but failed. "Grabulahgah??!!" He grumbled, confused. He dodged a punch from the robot.

"Rev, can you give me a boost?" Icy asked.

"Sure, Ice!" Rev held his hand out at Icy's knee level. Icy set her foot in Rev's hand and Rev lifted her up over his head. Icy's hands and eyes glowed light blue as she blasted the robot with her ice wads, freezing the robot. She landed a few feet from Slam. "Now, Slam!"

Slam smiled and whacked the robot with all of his strength, sending it flying out of the living room and several meters into the air, landing in a nearby empty feild.

"Now, to patch up that hole for now until Tech and Cass get back." Icy began to freeze over the large hole in the roof with ice.

"Aunty Icy?" Cale's soft voice called out.

Icy turned around to see all five of the kids standing behind the couch. She saw the terrified looks on Cale's, Vanessa's, and AJ's faces. "Don't worry, everything's okay now."

Cale ran up to Icy and threw her arms around Icy's legs. Vanessa and AJ followed. Icy knelt down and hugged all three. "I told you not to worry."

"ButIalmostlostMommyandDaddytobigrobotslikethatoneandIdidn'twanttolooseyou,tooAuntyIcy!" Cale cried.

Shadow rolled his eyes. "That would have been horrible!" He said scarcastically, only making little Cale cry more.

Vanessa faced Shadow, glaring madly. "Stop that! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!"

Icy scooped Cale up in one arm and picked up Vanessa in the other. "Come on, you guys. It's time for you to get to bed. Rev, wanna get the boys?"

Rev nodded and grabbed Quinton and Aj, following  Icy.

Shadow sighed and leaned more into the couch. Slam glared at him too. "Grabulah mean."

.PURPLE TRIANGLE.

With the robots both disabled and destroyed, catching Pierre and rescuing the captured innocent people were simple. Tired and battle-weary, the Loonatics soon returned home for a well-earned rest.

Rev greeted them at the door. "Hey guys how was it?"

"Watch the news and you'll find out." Lexi replied, yawning.

Quick yawned, as well. "Sorry, Rev, but we're all really cansado, see ya in the mañana." With that, each of the team walked off to their rooms.

Tech paused at his and Cassidy's room. "Cass, guys... Come see this.." He said, smiling.

When the rest of the team came up behind Tech, they saw Icy on Tech and Cassidy's bed, holding Cale in her one arm, with Quinton in the other arm. Eric, Vanessa and AJ were laying beside Icy, all of them fast asleep.

Cassidy smiled widely. "I guess we're camping out on the couch again tonight."

"AWWW!!" Mairi cooed, subconsciously hugging Duck extremely tightly.

"Ya see, guys, there was this huge robot and it broke into HQ and stuff but me and Icy and Slam dealt with it but the kids were scared especially Cale and this was the only way Cale would go to sleep." Rev explained.

"I see.. well, we can fix the damages in the morning.." Tech said, yawning.

"Yeah, let's get some sleep, guys..." Ace said, walking to his room.

.ORANGE TRIANGLE.

Click... Click....... Click.........

Tech blinked sleepily. He could make out the figure of someone holding a camera above him. He reached around and grabbed a pillow from behind his head and chucked it at the figure.

There was a thump and the sound of metal hitting the floor.

"Oww!" Duck whined, rubbing his head.

"Huh?" Cassidy moaned, blinking as she began to wake up.

"Rise and shine, sleepyheads!" Mairi called out gleefully. "It's Christmas morning!"

The two coyotes sat up and saw everyone except for Icy and the kids in the living room.

"Cale still asleep?" Cassidy asked, stretching.

Ace nodded. "After Rev telling us the full story of last night we decided the kids should sleep a little longer."

"How about we go get her?" Tech said, giving Cassidy a peck on the cheek.

So, the two coyotes quietly entered their room where Icy and the kids were sleeping. Cassidy and Tech knelt beside Cale. Cassidy gently nudged her. "Cale, wake up sweetheart."

Cale's little green eyes opened sleepily. "Mommy, Daddy?" She yawned. "Is it Christmas?"

Tech chuckled softly. "Yes, it is, Princess."

Cale smiled and held her arms out, silently asking to be picked up. Cassidy scooped her up into her arms and Cale snuggled against her mother's side, beginning to fall asleep again.
 
Tech nudged Icy. "Yo, Ice. Wake up."

The fox's blue eyes slowly. "It's morning already?!" She moaned.

"Ice.. Did Cale have nightmares last night?" Cassidy asked.
 
Icy stretched and nodded. "Poor Cale was up almost all night crying for you two.."

"No wonder she's still asleep." Cassidy sighed.

"Well, we'll get her to have a good long nap before lunch." Tech said,

Icy woke up the other kids, who all jumped up and ran to the living room about as fast as Rev. Icy, Cassidy and Tech came out last, with Cassidy holding Cale. Cassidy set Cale down on the floor. 
 
Cale rubbed her eyes sleepily, but they widened in joy when she saw the Christmas tree. It had been broken and messed up last time she had seen it. Now, it stood tall, beautifully decorated, just like it had been that time yesterday. "The tree is fixed!" She yelped.
 
"Deadset, Cale!" Mairi said, picking her up. "Your daddy made some superglue to put it back together and I redecorated it! But, there's something missing..." She held out a bright gold star to the girl. Mairi then set Cale on her shoulders so she could reach the top of the tree. Cale carefully set the star on the very top of the tree.
 
Icy and Lexi came up to Cassidy and Icy whispered in her ear. Cassidy giggled. "Really?!" The girls nodded.
 
"OKay, guys. We're not going to open up presents just yet!" Lexi said.
 
The kids looked at the girls in confusion.
 
"That's because we have someone super special coming to visit us! We have to wait for him." Icy explained. She and Cassidy threw mischeivious looks in Tech's direction.
 
"So, we'll be back in a few minutes!" Cassidy said, grabbing Tech by the arm and dragging him off towards the bedrooms. Icy and Lexi grabbed Quick and Mairi and they followed.
 
FIVE MINUTES LATER:
 
"I'm not coming out."
 
"Tech! You have to!" Lexi, Icy and Quick sighed.
 
"Just think of the kid's faces when they see you!" Mairi cooed.
 
"Don't make me come in there!" Cassidy threatened.
 
"You wouldn't...." Came a reply.
 
"On the count of three...." Cassidy crossed her arms. "One..."
 
"Cass, you can't be serious..."
 
"Two..."
 
"Dude, I think she's deadset."
 
"Three!" Cassidy stood up from Lexi's bed.
 
"ALRIGHT! I'm coming out!" Tech huffed before exiting Lexi's bathroom. He was dressed from head to toe in green, red, and jingle bells as an elf.
 
The girls squealed and dragged Tech out of the room. Ace, Rev, and Slam turned around to keep from laughing. Shadow completely ignored the scene. Seth, and Duck, however, weren't so nice, as they fell to the floor, laughing their faces off.
 
Cale, Vanessa, AJ, and Quinton squealed in delight, but Eric stared at Tech in confusion. "Why is Uncle Tech dressed weird?" He asked.
 
"Daddy's dressed as an elf!!!" Cale squealed happily.
 
"Yes, he is! And he's going to hand out presents!" Cassidy said, pushing Tech forward.
 
Tech sighed. "They said all I had to wear was a hat.... a hat! But nooooooooo.......... They, for reasons I will never in a million years understand, plotted to completely humiliate me! And in front of my own daughter!" He muttered to himself. He picked up a present and read the tag. "To Cale, from Eric." He threw a suspicious look at the rabbit/wolf boy before handing it to his daughter.
 
Cale quickly tore open the paper to reveal a handmade necklace, cimply crafted from string and randomly coloured beads. Cale squealed in delight before glomping Eric. "Thankyou, Eric! It's so pretty!"
 
Eric's face went red. "You welcome, Cale..."
 
Tech glared at Eric once more before receiving an elbow in the gut from Cassidy. He picked up several present with Ace's name on it. He handed those to Ace, who opened them, revealing many, many carrots.....
 
Lexi got clothes and stuff like that from everyone, whom she tackle-hugged.
 
Everyone chipped together to get Icy a seven year, all-you-can-eat coupon at the nearby ice-cream parlor. Icy laughed and hugged her teammates.
 
Mairi went to open her present from Duck, but Duck nervously pushed her aside. "Maybe... do ya wanna save that for later?" He asked, glancing around at everyone nervously.
 
"Why?" Mairi asked. "Is it something bad, Bubby?"
 
"No.... its just... I don't want the others to see it....." He whispered.
 
However, Mairi half-ignored Duck's begging and opened the present anyway. Nearly everyone in the room was suddenly deafened by her high-pitched squeals of delight. "OH BUBBY! IT'S BEAUTIFULBEAUTIFULBEAUTIFUL!"
 
"I'm suing for medical bills!" Shadow whimpered, before nearly passing out on the ground.
 
Mairi ran around the room, showing everyone the sparkling, diamond necklace Duck had bought her. The pendant was in the shape of a 'D,' with diamond-like jewels on the corners. After everyone had seen it, she ran back to Duck and glomped him the hardest she'd ever glomped him. Duck became smushed on the ground.
 
Icy snickered. "Well, what do ya know? Flap-Duck!"
 
After sort-of getting over her excitement, she then shoved a present at Duck, then one at Tech and Cassidy.
 
Duck opened his to see a small quilte with duck-shaped patches all over it. Duck half-smiled. "Heh.... It's really nice, Mairi."

Mairi squealed once more. "I knew you'd love it!" She then huggen him again.
 
Tech and Cassidy's present were two matching shirts. Both were white with green horizantal stripes.
 
"Aren't they cute?!" Mairi asked. "I saw them and I couldn't resist!"
 
Tech and Cassidy smiled. "Yes, they're really nice, Mairi, thanks!"
 
Cale suddenly jumped up and ran out of the room. She came back carrying a small, thin book stuffed with papers. She flipped through the papers and ran around the room, placing one paper in everyone's lap. Cale had spent the past two weeks drawing pictures of everyone so she could have something to give them that day.
 
Shadow blinked as he picked up his. "Kid.... you drew this..... for me?"
 
Cale nodded. "Yup! Do you like it?"
 
Shadow frowned. "After everything I did, I thought you'd hate me by now."
 
Cale shook her head. "Mommy and Daddy said it's not nice to hate someone. They said you have to forgive them."
 
Shadow gave a weak half-smile. "Well... I guess I've got no choice but to like it huh?"
 
Cale smiled and hugged Shadow's leg. "Merry Christmas, Uncle Souless!"

Quick opened her presents to find lots of cheese and Mexican-related items. But from Seth she received a beautiful silver bracelet with diamond-like jewels. 
 
"Oh, Seth... it's bonito!" Quick cried, smiling widely. Seth hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss.
 
Cale picked up a preset from the tree. "This one's yours, Mommy!"
 
Cassidy read the tag. "To Mommy From Cale and Daddy." She giggled as she opened it. It was a silver picture frame with little figure skates on the sides. Inside was a picture of Tech, Cale and herself.
 
"Press the button, Mommy! Press it!" Cale shouted excitedly, pointing to a small black button on the back. When she did, the frame lit up in blue lights and a voice said, "I love you, Mommy!"
 
Cassidy smiled and hugged Cale tightly. "It's wonderful, Rosebud. My favourite present ever!"
 
"Daddy made it, but I helped him!" Cale chirped proudly.

"I'm sure he couldn't have done it without you!" Cassidy replied, kissing her on her forehead.

Tech blushed furiously. "Glad you like it, Cass.."

Mairi suddenly appeared above them, holding a peice of mistletoe a few feet from their heads. The lyrebird looked at them expectantly.

Tech sighed. It was bad enough that Mairi CONSTANTLY mocked him, now this! It was almost as bad as last year, where Rev had planted a peice of that above his bedroom door... then snapped a picture of him and Cassidy just after waking up. 

Icy and Quick sat beside Cassidy, slowly pushing her closer to Tech.

Rev did the same to Tech, whose cheeks went even more red.

Ace rolled his eyes. "Come on, you two... you're married and you've got a kid now... you should be used to kissing by now!"

Cassidy giggled nervously. "Yeah, just not with EVERYONE looking at us...."

"Hey! What am I? Invisible?" Duck retorted.

"I'm with you, Duck. If only Eric wasn't freinds with Cale, then I wouldn't have had to come here...... All this fluffiness makes me sick." Shadow agreed.

Cassidy smiled. "Fine, if almost everyone wants us to kiss..." She leaned forward and kissed Tech's nose.

Mairi squealed in delight. She then hopped down and continued to run around the room making 'finishing touches' on re-decorating, seeing as how her original work had been destroyed.

Shadow nearly passed out.

 Duck took another sip from his soda. He suddenly felt weird, like he was being watched. He slowly turned his head and....

"GAH!" Duck gasped. Mairi was standing beside him, hanging mistletoe above his head.

"A kiss for the Christmas fairie??" Mairi asked, her eyes growing wide.

Duck sighed. "Alright."

Mairi bent down to his level and Duck gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Mairi giggled and did the same to him.

Meanwhile, Shadow was coughing, pretending to throw up. Cassidy casually walked past him, kicking him in the shin.

Shadow glared at her. Cassidy smiled sweetly and whispered. "I would have aimed higher, but there's kids around...."

.BLUE TRIANGLE.
 
 After breakfast, the girls gathered the dirty dishes to take them to the kitchen. The boys, being the gentlmen they are, helped. Duck hesitated, he wanted to go watch TV, but seeing as how everyone was helping clean up, he reluctantly joined in.

 
 Tech took a small stack of plates from Cassidy's hands. "You should go lay down.. You're not looking good.."

 "Tech, I'm fine." Cassidy sighed. Her eyes were dim and tired, and her face was extremely pale.
 
 "Cass.." Tech whispered, stroking her cheek. "Go rest..."

 Cassidy opened her mouth to protest, but instead, fainted.

 "MOMMY!"
 
 "Cassidy!"

-----------------------------------------------

Cale's eyes widened and she squealed in joy. "A PUPPY?! You got me a puppy, Aunty Icy?!"

"Not just me, your Aunty Quick, Lexi, and Mairi!" Icy said, ruffling her hair.

"Whoa, wait! We can't keep a puppy!" Tech protested.

Cale's face fell. "How come, Daddy?"

"This tower is slightly cramped as it is, Princess. Where is the puppy gonna stay?"

"With me!" Cale said. "Please, Daddy? I saw this exact one in the store a couple days ago, he was all alone and sad because no one wanted him! Now he can be happy here, Daddy! Please?"

Tech glanced at Cassidy, hoping for some backup. Cassidy smiled, she was on Cale's side. "Tech, think about it, having a puppy will teach her responsibilty, and hopefully keep her out of trouble when we're on missions."

Tech sighed. "I'm still not sure if this is a good idea...."

Cale wrapped her arms around the puppy's neck, giving her father the puppy dog face. Cassidy sat beside them and did the same.

Tech burried his head in his hands, then smiled. "Well, everyone knows I can't resist that look."

Cale brightened. "Can we keep him, Daddy?!"

Tech sat beside her and hugged her. "I guess so..."

Cale hugged her father. "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you!" She jumped out of his arms and ran to give her aunts a hug, as well.

The little husky puppy sat there between Tech and Cassidy, not quite sure what to do. Cassidy smiled at Tech. "Well, soon we'll have three kids. Two coyotes and a husky!"

As if the puppy knew Cassidy was talking about himself, he jumped into her lap and started licking her face. Cassidy tried to push him off. "Down, boy! GAH!"

Quick laughed. "Good thing we also got this.." She handed Cale a book that read, "How to Train Your New Puppy."

"So, what are you gonna name him, Cale?" Mairi asked.

Cale thought. "I'm gonna name him.......... Snowy!" She said, pointing to his snow-white coat.

Icy giggled. "That makes sense..."
---------------------------------

ENJOY! *runs off*

I believe the theory that the 'Tics only have that one floor, maybe a few others for Tech's extra lab junk, and that the rest is.... I don't know....... used by the government? Like in NCIS XD

Except Slam is so irresistible that he needs multiple floors 'cuz he has so many babies. X3

OMG! I totally MISSED THAT! XD

Awwwww.

Puppies are so cute. Nice job and...

ONLY ONE MORE CHAPTER!?

So heartbreaking.

Also, are you gonna put this on ff.net?

8DDDDD He doesssss X3

HEY! HERE IT IS! THE VERY LAST CHAPTER OF THE GREAT CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE! 8D

Chapter Five: "Christmas Miracle"
 
 The team froze in sudden shock, quite unsure of what was going on. Quick, Rev, and Tech were the first to snap out of shock. Quick grabbed the plates from Tech's hands and set them on the counter. Rev ran to Tech's side. "What do we do?"
 
 Tech bit his lip in frustration. "We need to get her to the medlab so I can check her over. She just fainted."
 
 "Daddy?" Cale's small voice called out. "Why did Mommy fall?"

 Tech glanced from Cale to Cassidy, then to Cale again. "Cale, stay here with Aunt Icy. I do not want you to leave her side until I say otherwise. Do you understand?" He said firmly.
 
 Cale nodded silently and ran to Icy, hugging her aunt's leg tightly.
 
 Tech carefully cradled Cassidy in his arms and he and Rev walked off towards the medlab. Once there, Tech layed her down on a bed.
 
 "Tech? Do you have any idea might be wrong with her? It's just, me and Icy and Cale and pretty much everybody are all worried now! I mean, one minute she's goofing around with all of us like normal, the next she's passed out on the ground! What made it happen?!"
 
 Tech sighed. "I'm not sure yet, Rev." He said, his voice low and quiet. "She hasn't been feeling good since she got back from the mission."
 
 "Maybe that's it! Something happened during the mission that's making her sick! Mairi even said something happened! I just don't remember what!"
 
 "Mairi never said what happened, she just said Cass was hurt......" After washing his hands, Tech took a small needle and drew some blood so he could run some tests.
 
 Rev bit his lip. Nothing was gonna cheer Tech up until she was awake. "What can I do, Tech?" He asked.
 
 Tech seemed off in his own world for a moment, but Rev's voice brought him back. "Uh..... I .... I don't know yet..."
 
 Rev nodded. "Okay... I'll go check on Cale for ya, okay? Just call me if you need me!" And with that, he disappeared.
 
 Tech sighed as he sat down in front of the computer and typed away, working on the blood tests. After a few minutes, the results came up. As Tech read them, his eyes widened with shock and joy.
 
 Ace came into the lab. "Eh, Tech. Got any news on Cassidy yet?"
 
 Tech paused. Should he tell Ace? He thought..... No. This was between himself and Cassidy. She has to know first.
 
 "Uh.. No, not yet Cheif. But I'll let you know as soon as I find out." Tech assured him.
 
 Ace glanced at him suspiciously before leaving.
 
 Tech sighed. He hated lying, but Cassidy had the right to know first. Tech stood up and walked over to the bed. He stroked Cassidy's forehead. "Wake up soon, Cass... I have exciting news...."
 
.RED TRIANGLE.
 
 Mairi paced back and forth across the floor.
 
 "Maz, please stop. You're making me dizzy.."
 
 "But, Bubby! How am I supposed to stop pacing when I'm worried?!!! I pace when I'm worried! I can't help it!"
 
 Duck sighed and crossed his arms. "Look, Maz, there's nothing to be worried about. That girl's passed out on us so many times it's nothing new to us. She's most likely up already."
 
 "Then why isn't she out here telling us why she fainted?!"
 
 Duck shrugged. "Maybe she's making out with Tech."
 
 Lexi the slapped him across the back of his head.
 
 Maz sat down beside Duck, pouting in worry. Lexi set her hand on Mairi's shoulder. "Don't worry, Maz. Cassidy is a tough girl. Ace should know, he trained her."
 
 Icy was sitting on the other couch, with Cale curled up beside her. Icy stroked Cale's forehead and Cale looked up at her. "Aunty Icy? Do you think Mommy's okay?"
 
 Icy bit her lip. "Of course, Cale. Your Mommy's very strong, and Daddy will know how to make her feel better." She hugged the little girl tightly.
 
 Eric was sitting beside Cale, and he patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, Cale!"
 
 Quick glanced around the room. Ace couldn't see her and the ones who could had their attention on upset Cale. She wanted to see if Cassidy was alright. She had to check on her amigo. Now.
 
 She began to slowly tiptoe towards the med lab. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a voice.
 
 "Sneaking away to where the action is again, Quick?"
 
 "Dios Mio, Seth! You scared me you loco coyote!" She scolded him, keeping her voice hushed.
 
 Seth smiled. "I try."
 
 Quick rolled her eyes and grabbed Seth's arm, marching off towards the medlab.
 
.WHITE TRIANGLE.
 
 Cassidy moaned and rubbed her forehead before opening her eyes. "Halumona......Tech?"
 
 Tech sighed. "You know I'm not that good at Sarian." He said, smiling.
 
 "I said, 'what the heck?'" Cassidy moaned again and buried her head under the pillow.
 
 "I can tell you 'what the heck' if you'd like." Tech chuckled, pulling the pillow away from her face.
 
 Cassidy gave him a look. "What exactly made me sick all of a sudden?" She asked.
 
 Tech smiled, stroking her forehead. "Well, it looks as if Cale is not going to be the only special person in our lives..."

 Cassidy blinked. "You... you mean......?"

 Tech nodded. "Yup."

 Cassidy smiled widely. "Tech!..... AAAHH!!" She squealed, sitting up and hugging him tightly.

 Tech laughed and hugged her back.

 Cassidy suddenly froze. "Oh no..."

 "What's wrong?" Tech asked, looking worried.

 "Yesterday... when we were on the mission.... I... I...got kicked.."
 
 "Where exactly?"

 Cassidy pointed to her lower stomach. "Right here, I was in pain for a bit... that's why Mairi ran to get you.." She took a deep breath. "Tech... please tell me the baby's not hurt, please!"
 
 Tech sighed. "I ran a lot of tests already... There's no sign of external damage... but as for internal..... it's too early to tell.."

FLOP!

 "Oww..." Quick rubbed her head, wincing.

 "Quick! What are you doing in here?"

 "Uhh.. playing hide and seek with Quinton?"

 Tech folded his arms, giving her an "I don't think so.." look.

 Quick smiled innocently. "I just came in here to check on Cass! We're all worried out there.. Well, except Danger but that's just him...."

 "Well, you don't need to anymore, I'm just fine now!"

 Quick smiled at her. "I overheard what you two said... Is the bebe gonna be alright?"

 "As far as we can tell, yes.."

 Quick ran up to her and hugged her gently. "Congrats, Cass! I'm mucho excited for you!"

 Cassidy hugged her back. "Thanks Quick. Would you mind asking Cale to come in here please?"

 "Sure thing!" Quick ran out of the med lab and into the living room. "Hey Cale! Your Mama wants to see you!"

 Cale brightened up. "Mommy's okay?!"

 Quick giggled. "Yup!" But before she could say anything else, Cale had already ran off to the medlab.

 "Mommy?" Cale called out as she walked into the room.

 "Hey, Rosebud!" Cassidy scooped Cale up into her arms and sat down on the bed. "I have something to ask you.." She paused. "How would you like to be a big sister?"

 Cale's eyes widened, then she smiled. "Oh, Mommy! Am I gonna be a big sister?!"

 Cassidy giggled, nodding. "Yes, you are."

 Cale squealed. "Yes! I'm a big sister! I'm a big sister!" She stopped suddenly. "Mommy? Where is my baby sister?"

 Cassidy smiled softly. "Right here.." She placed her hand over her stomach.

 "And remember Cale, it might not be a girl..." Tech said, sitting beside them.

 Cale gazed at Cassidy's belly curiously. "How'd she fit in there?"

 Cassidy giggled. "She or he is very small right now... but he or she is gonna grow..."

 "Are you gonna get chubby like Aunty Quick did before cousin Quinton was born?"

 "Yes, I will.." Cassidy hugged her. "You wanna go tell your aunts and uncles?"

 Cale nodded. "Yes! I'll be back soon!" With that, she disappeared once more.

 Tech laughed and took Cassidy's hand as they walked out towards the living room. By the time they got there, everyone knew what happened, due to Cale running around yelling "I'm a big sister!" Everyone pretty much figured it out on their own.
 
 Icy glanced at Mairi, Quick, and Lexi. She winked, and they did the same back. Icy stood up. "I'll be right back..." She walked out of the living room and into her bedroom. Quite oddly, it was not being kept at its usual 20 degrees. No, it was actually at room temperature. Icy had changed it for the last couple of days. Why? You'll find out..

 Icy returned with a white fluff-ball bouncing at her side. She led the snow-white husky puppy towards Cale. "This little guy now belongs to you, Cale."
 
 Cale's eyes widened and she squealed in joy. "A PUPPY?! You got me a puppy, Aunty Icy?!"

 "Not just me, your Aunty Quick, Lexi, and Mairi!" Icy said, ruffling her hair.

 "Whoa, wait! We can't keep a puppy!" Tech protested.

 Cale's face fell. "How come, Daddy?"

 "This tower is slightly cramped as it is, Princess. Where is the puppy gonna stay?"

 "With me!" Cale said. "Please, Daddy? I saw this exact one in the store a couple days ago, he was all alone and sad because no one wanted him! Now he can be happy here, Daddy! Please?"

 Tech glanced at Cassidy, hoping for some backup. Cassidy smiled, she was on Cale's side. "Tech, think about it, having a puppy will teach her responsibilty, and hopefully keep her out of trouble when we're on missions."

 Tech sighed. "I'm still not sure if this is a good idea...."

 Cale wrapped her arms around the puppy's neck, giving her father the puppy dog face. Cassidy sat beside them and did the same.

 Tech burried his head in his hands, then smiled. "Well, everyone knows I can't resist that look."

 Cale brightened. "Can we keep him, Daddy?!"

 Tech sat beside her and hugged her. "I guess so..."

 Cale hugged her father. "Thank you, Daddy! Thank you!" She jumped out of his arms and ran to give her aunts a hug, as well.

 The little husky puppy sat there between Tech and Cassidy, not quite sure what to do. Cassidy smiled at Tech. "Well, soon we'll have three kids. Two coyotes and a husky!"

 As if the puppy knew Cassidy was talking about himself, he jumped into her lap and started licking her face. Cassidy tried to push him off. "Down, boy! GAH!"

 Quick laughed. "Good thing we also got this.." She handed Cale a book that read, "How to Train Your New Puppy."

 "So, what are you gonna name him, Cale?" Mairi asked.

 Cale thought. "I'm gonna name him.......... Snowy!" She said, pointing to his snow-white coat.

 Icy giggled. "That makes sense..."

 Mairi then turned to face Quinton, who was crawling across the floor to Cale and Snowy. "We didn't forget about you!" She held out a life sized stuffed puppy, which Quinton then glomped, giggling.

 Icy watched as Quinton squeezed the stuffed life out of the stuffed animal. "Good thing we didn't give him a real one!"

 Quick laughed. "What do you say to your aunts, Quint?"

 Quinton looked up at them with wide eyes. "Tank wou!"

.MULTI COLOURED TRIANGLE.

After a while of sitting around and goofing off, the gang decided to bundle up and go outside.

 Quick set Quinton in the snow, then proceed to show him how to make a snow angel.

 Quinton rocked himself back and forth until he toppled over backwards, then attempted to imitate his mother by thrashing his arms about wildly

 Quick laughed and bent over to pick him up. Just as she was about to grab him, a snowball came flying and hit her on the behind.

 "Seth!!!" She screeched, facing him with an "I'm not pleased.." look.

 Quinton giggled. "Daddy in twouble!" He then transmuted a giant snowball that fell on top of Seth.

 Quick giggled again and helped Seth unbury himself.

 Meanwhile, Tech, Cassidy, Cale, Icy and Rev were making a snowman. Icy made a handful of snow, then held it out to Cale. Cale used her 'fire spurts' as she called them to partially melt the snow. Icy then packed it on to the snowman, making it stronger.

 Snowy sat nearby, watching them. Cale was hanging on to a long leash that was attached to Snowy's collar. Snowy pawed at the snow below her a bit before flopping down and rolling in it. Cale giggled. "Look! Snowy's making a doggie snow angel!"

 Meanwhile, Duck, Ace, Lexi, Slam, and Mairi were having a snowball fight. Well, Duck, Ace, Lexi, and Slam were... Mairi was trying to hide behind Duck.

 "Mazz! I can't move!" Duck grunted, trying not to step on Mairi's hands.

 "But Bubby! I don't wanna get hit!"

 "I'm gonna do worse if you don't mo-" Duck tripped over her, landing in her lap, unable to finish his threat.

 Mairi then strangled Duck in a bone-crushing hug.

 Eric stood nearby Cale, watching her make a snowman. "Whatch doin' Cale?" He asked.

 "Makin a snowman, wanna help?"

 "Snowman? But Daddy said those things are EEEVVIILLL!" Eric gasped.

 "They're not evil. I watched a movie about a snowman once. He was very nice."

 Cassidy smiled as she watched the two. She then glanced at Tech, who was watching Eric with a wary look on his face. She sighed. One of these days Tech was just gonna have to accept the fact that they were freinds......

 Once everyone started getting chilly, that is, except Icy who could have slept out there that night, they all headed inside for some hot chocolate and to watch a movie together.

 Cassidy and Tech sat together at one end of the large couch, along with Quick and Seth, and Icy and Rev. Cale climbed up into Cassidy's lap, yawning. She curled up there, eyes flickering.

 Cassidy stroked her forehead. "You not watching the movie?"

 Cale shook her head. "I'm tired Mommy..."

 Cassidy gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Okay, have a good sleep.."

 After a while, Cassidy rested her head on Tech's chest. "You not watching the movie either?" Tech asked.

 "I'm tired Daddy.." Cassidy yawned, imitating Cale with a goofy smile.

 Tech chuckled and pulled her closer.

 Rev sat next to Tech, watching the movie with interest. Icy, tired from being up all night with a crying Cale, soon fell asleep against Rev's arm. Rev bit his lip nervously, unsure of what to do.

 Tech noticed this and gave Rev a little nudge in the arm. Rev smiled nervously once more before putting one arm around the sleeping fox.

 Mairi was watching all of this. She then glanced down at Duck, who was falling asleep from pure boredom. She reached around with her one arm and pushed his head sideways so it layed on her other arm. Duck gave her a confused look, then shrugged. Mairi smiled widely, giving him a quick little peck on his forehead.

 Duck sighed and rolled his eyes, but otherwise did not react.

And that, my freinds, is the 'Tics Great Christmas Adventure..... What about the new baby, you ask? That, unfortunately, is for another story......
