## Transcript:

On Christmas Eve, the Millers were getting ready for Christmas.

David: And grandma April’s coming, isn’t she?

Sarah: She should be here any moment now…

Lizzie: Well, I did invite Landon over.

David: You didn’t.

Lizzie: What? He’s been a real grinch and I want to give him the best Christmas ever to give him some of that Christmas spirit!

David: No offense, Lizzie, but you tried that with our ancestor, Terrance, last year. It didn’t work. Remember, he ended up almost destroying Royal Woods?

Lizzie: But Landon is totally different! It’ll work! I promise!

David rolled his eyes.

Greg came rushing in.

Greg: David! We need to go to 1502! Varian and Cassandra need our help!

David: What happened?!

Greg: Just come on!

David and Greg rushed to their room.

Robert and Riley came out of the kitchen.

Robert: The Christmas dinner is almost ready! We’ll still need time on the cookies.

Todd: Awesome! You two never disappoint!

Riley: I just love cooking for all of you!

Robert and Riley went back into the kitchen.

Sarah: It’s strange April hasn’t shown up.

Todd: Yeah. Mother’s never late for Christmas. It’s her favorite holiday!

Brittany: I’m sure she’ll be here soon.

Henry: I just hope this Christmas will be good.

Emma: I’m sure it will be.

Lizzie: Especially if we’re all together!

Meanwhile, David and Greg landed in Corona.

Varian and Cassandra were headed to the castle.

David and Greg went up to them.

Varian: David! Greg!

Cassandra: Aren’t you supposed to be in 2020? It’s Christmas!

David: We heard you needed help.

Varian: Okay. We admit it. We do need help.

Cassandra: We’re not having a good Christmas!

David: What happened?

Varian: We can’t tell you here. Let’s go back to your time.

Greg: Alright. Let’s go!

Greg turned on his wrist-watch and a portal sucked in David, Greg, Varian, and Cassandra.

David, Greg, Varian, and Cassandra landed in David, Greg, Henry, and Robert’s room.

Varian: Okay, so you wanna know why we’re not having a good Christmas…

David: We really do!

Cassandra: It’s Zhan Tiri! She’s ruining everyone’s Christmas!

Varian: It’s our first Christmas engaged - and Zhan Tiri wants us to break off our engagement.

Greg: I don’t believe this.

Cassandra: It’s just like her, you know. We’re staying here until she’s in the Lost Realm again.

Varian: Knowing Zhan Tiri, it’s never.

David: But you can’t stay here forever. I’ll tell you what, you are free to spend Christmas with us! And then after Christmas, we’ll send you back to Corona.

Greg: But will mom and dad be okay with them staying here?

David: I’m positive! And I heard Robert and Riley made Christmas cookies!

Greg: Varian, Cassandra, do you want any?

Varian: Of course we do!

Cassandra: Let’s go!

David, Greg, Varian, and Cassandra left excitedly.

David, Greg, Varian, and Cassandra came into the living room with some Christmas cookies.

Sarah and Todd noticed Varian and Cassandra.

Sarah: Varian? Cassandra?

Todd: What are you doing here?

Cassandra: David and Greg invited us to spend Christmas here.

Varian: You know. To get away from Zhan Tiri.

Sarah: Say no more!

Todd: You are welcome here any time.

David: You mean it?

Sarah: Of course!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

David: That must be grandma April! I’ll get it!

David rushed over to the door and opened it.

It was Landon.

David rolled his eyes.

David: Ugh. Landon.

Landon: Can you get out of my way, nerd? Lizzie invited me.

Lizzie went to the door and saw Landon.

Lizzie: Landon! Let’s do one thing I know you’ll love!

Landon rolled his eyes.

Landon: Sure, whatever, Lizzie. But you know I’ll never like Christmas.

Lizzie: Never say never!

Lizzie and Landon left.

David: Man, he’s obnoxious.

David went back over to Varian and Cassandra.

Cassandra: So, what do you even DO for Christmas?

Varian: My dad and I always just did alchemy experiments and he gave me new potions.

Cassandra: Well, as for me… I never really had a happy Christmas. My mom abandoned me and I never knew my dad. So I was just always training to be a guard. For no reward.

Greg: All that’s gonna change!

David: Yeah! Cause you’re gonna spend Christmas with us Millers!

Cassandra: Oh, sweet!

During dinner, the Millers, Landon, Varian, and Cassandra all sat around the dining room table.

Robert and Riley came out with a bunch of ribs, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes.

David: This looks delectable!

Landon scoffed.

Landon: I’ve seen better.

Robert: Well, let’s dig in!

Cassandra took a bite out of the ribs on her plate.

Cassandra: This is way delectable. Back in Corona, I never got such good food.

Varian: This is amazing!

Riley: Why, thank you.

Landon barely touched any of the dinner.

Landon: Well, I’m out. This meal sucks!

Landon ran out of the room.

Lizzie: Landon, wait!

Lizzie ran after Landon.

Emma: Sooo, when’s grandma April supposed to get here?

Brittany: I’ve been dying to give her a gigantic origami card I’ve been working on all year!

Henry: And share with her my various math equations.

Todd: You know, I’m not too sure. She called earlier and said she got stuck in a big snowstorm in Third Street, and well…

Sarah: She might not get here until New Years.

David: That stinks!

Greg: I know! Christmas just isn’t the same without grandma April!

Robert: I know! She’s come every year with no problems.

Sarah: Well… You never know. Christmas IS the time for miracles.

David: You don’t honestly believe that.

Cassandra: If you knew my current situation, you should know that isn’t true.

Varian: But at least we’re all together now.

David: Yeah…

Meanwhile, in Lizzie, Emma, and Brittany’s room, Lizzie was trying to get Landon to talk about his feelings.

Lizzie: What’s wrong? Why do you hate Christmas so much?

Landon: You wouldn’t understand.

Lizzie: I really would.

Landon sighed.

Landon: My dad died a few months ago, and usually HE made Christmas really great in my house. And my mom works a lot and has no time to spend with me… I… just feel alone.

Lizzie: You’ll always be welcome here.

Landon: But David… He doesn’t like me for some reason.

Lizzie: You know, you do have a tendency to be really arrogant and obnoxious. Try considering how others may feel.

Landon scoffed.

Landon: Gee thanks.

Lizzie: Why don’t you spend the night? You’ll see how us Millers spend Christmas.

Landon rolled his eyes.

Landon: Yeah, sure. But I make no promises I’ll enjoy myself. Cause I won’t.

Lizzie sighed.

Lizzie: Well, it’s a start.

The next morning, on Christmas Eve, everyone gathered around by the tree and was opening presents.

Lizzie handed Landon a Christmas present.

He opened it.

It was two packages of Zombie Bran cereal and its Raisin the Dead cereal.

Landon teared up.

Landon: How’d you know that’s what I wanted?

David handed Varian and Cassandra two gifts.

Varian and Cassandra opened them.

Varian’s gift was a new alchemy book.

Cassandra’s gift was a picture of Terrance, her dad.

Varian: Sweet! A new alchemy book!

Cassandra: And THIS is my dad? My real dad?

David: It sure is!

Greg: We MET him in 998! He was a… sweet kid… who needed some love.

Cassandra smiled.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

David: I’ll get it!

David opened the door.

It was April.

David: Grandma!

April: I finally made it out of the snowstorm!

David and April went into the living room.

David: Grandma April’s here, everyone!

The Miller siblings rushed up to April and gave her a hug.

Greg: So glad you could make it!

Henry: Are you okay?

Lizzie: I hope everything’s going well with you!

Emma: Let’s all catch up!

Robert: I made you some brownies!

Riley: And they’re mint chocolate chip brownies, your favorite!

Brittany: And I made you a sweet card, too!

April: You kids are amazing.

The Millers, Riley, April, Varian, Cassandra, and Landon all sat by the tree and exchanged more gifts.
