As Lionel drove the car, he spoke to his children)*

Lionel: Now remember, it is important to be on your best behavior tonight.

*(He then eyes Chip, the Eds, Skippy, Olaf, and Jirachi eating each their own gingerbread cookies)*

Lionel: (Smiles playfully) That means remembering our manners at dinner, boys. And Jirachi.

*(Smiling in an understanding way, Chip, the Eds, Skippy, Olaf, and Jirachi finished their own gingerbread cookies, and gave their thumbs up in agreement. Then Lionel speaks to Elsa)*

Lionel: Elsa, it would be an honor if I had a dance with you and Anna tonight, along with Jack and Kristoff.

Elsa: (Smiling) I'd be delighted, Father.

Anna: (Smiling) Me too. Even Jack and Kristoff would agree once we tell them.

Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora: And us?

*(Lionel smiled softly)*

Lionel: You and your siblings have my permission to disappear for a while and meet Professor Utonium about the egg-shaped box.

Kayley: Thank you, Father. And for the record....

*(Lionel listened)*

Kayley: Is it alright if...? I dance with you afterwards?

Jasmine: (Agreeing with Kayley) Me and Aurora can dance with Skippy and Double D.

May: (Agreeing with Kayley and Jasmine) And I can dance with Eddy.

Mabel: (Agreeing with Kayley, Jasmine, and May) Same with dancing with Dipper.

Misty: (Agreeing with Kayley, Jasmine, May, and Mabel) And same with dancing with Max.

*(Skippy, the Eds, except Ed, Dipper, and Max nodded. Hearing them say that, Lionel calmly hesitated. Noticing that, Aurora spoke)*

Aurora: Are you alright?

*(Snapping out of it, Lionel smiled softly again)*

Lionel: Of course. We shall dance afterwards.

Ed: Who will dance with me?

Chip: And me?

Jasmine: I can dance with you after Skippy.

Aurora: And I can dance with you after Double D.

Jirachi: And I can dance with Olaf. *(Flutters her eyelashes)*

Olaf: (Amazed) Wow! I've never danced with a Pokemon before. Not even a *female* Pokemon.

*(Chip and Ed smiled, glad to know they're not left out. Finally at the mansion, the Kingsleighs parked the car in the nearby garage, and then entered the mansion)*

Elsa and Anna: Hey, everyone!

Elsa's group: Guys!

*(They hugged for a bit while laughing a bit. Then they finished calmly and Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist spoke)*

Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist: We're so glad you made it.

Morgana: Yes, indeed.

Flash Sentry: And our humblest condolences for you and Julianna.

Darkwing: Especially Julianna.

Kingsleighs: (Agreeing with sad smiles) Yes....

*(Later, while Lionel is spending time with some of the guests, Kayley's group, meanwhile went down to the mansion's basement, revealed to be an inventor's workshop of some kind. All decorated around the room are some souvenirs from around the world, including replica fossils of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, and even a lot of books. As they walked around, they looked around for this Utonium)*

Kayley's group: Godfather Utonium? (Professor Utonium?) (Professor?)

*(Then a figure flew by in the room and perched on a nearby birdstand. The figure is a male pygmy owl with light brown and tan plumage, a fan-like tail, light brown wings with beige undersides, yellow eyes with black pupils, bushy, black feather "horns" that resemble large eyebrows, a white feathered goatee, an orangish-yellow beak and feet, and orangish-yellow talons. He is Archimedes, Utonium's pet owl. Kayley's group recognized him and greeted him)*

Kayley's group: Hello, Archimedes.

Bubbles: Hi.

Fluttershy: It's good to see you again.

Archimedes: Same to you and the others, Kayley.

Aurora: Do you know where Godfather Utonium is?

Blossom: He’s our father, too.

*(Then they heard a male voice speak to them)*

Male voice: (Voice-over) He sees everything, which can be a great help to a man with the power of science.

*(They turned and saw a 29 year old man with short black hair, black pupiled eyes, and wearing a white long-sleeved business shirt underneath a white long-sleeved lab coat-like suit with a black pen sticking out of its side pocket, a black necktie, black pants, and black shoes. He is Professor Drake Utonium, the Kingsleighs' Godfather and the Powerpuff Girls' father who took Mary in when she was a child. Upon seeing him, Dorothy's group smiled)*

Kayley's group: Hey.

Utonium: Hello, everyone.

*(Then he noticed Cookie on Kayley's left shoulder)*

Utonium: Who's that little fella?

*(Noticing, Kayley's group explained)*

Kayley's group: A new pet mouse for the Kingsleigh Family.

Utonium: (Impressed) Wow. What's his name?

Caramel: Cookie.

Utonium: (Curiously) Why "Cookie?"

Boomer: (To Elsa, Anna, and Skippy) Tell him.

Anna: Skippy, Max, Elsa, and I befriended him when we fed him some cookies.

Max: And Dad let us catch him so we can keep him.

Skippy: That's right.

Terriermon: I agree.

Olaf: Me too.

Jirachi: Me three.

*(Even Rajah, Skitty, Manaphy, Togepi, and Slushy purred, meowed, and chirped happily in agreement with a nod)*

Utonium: (Understanding) Ah, that's wonderful.

*(He lets Cookie shake his right index finger like they're shaking hands)*

Utonium: Nice to meet you, Cookie.

*(Cookie squeaks a happy squeak. After that's done, Double D changed the subject)*

Double D: Anyway, *(Gestures to Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora)* Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora here needs your help.

Pinkie Pie: As well as our help.

Buttercup: Indeed.

Utonium: Ah. But I need your help first.

Morgana: (Curiously) What is it, Professor?

*(He shows them a music box of dancing swans sitting at the desk nearby)*

Utonium: Look at this.

*(He turns the music box on, and the swans are moving backwards instead of forward, even though the music is working fine)*

Brick: That's odd.

Comet Tail: Backwards.

Utonium: It's moving backwards.

Boomer: At least the music's still playing.

Max: Well, *this* is highly peculiar.

Jirachi: I know.

*(Manaphy chirped in agreement. Then Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora studied the music box carefully with Darkwing and Morgana's help)*

Kayley: The mechanism must be reversed.

Darkwing: Yep, yep, yep. Looks like it.

Morgana: I should say so.

Utonium: But I can't, for the life of me, figure out why.

*(After pondering a bit, Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora perked up)*

Kayley: May the three of us?

Utonium: (Nods) Please.

*(He turns the music box off and then Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora studied the music box's mechanism. Then realizing along with Jasmine and Kayley, Kayley turned to Utonium)*

Kayley: It looks like the idler wheel has slipped.

Utonium: (Realizing with an impressed smile) Hmm.

Jasmine: (Agreeing with Kayley) It's causing the pinion ring to engage the secondary drive gear.

Aurora: And there's one thing that can fix it.

*(She held her hand out to Utonium)*

Aurora: Pliers.

*(Utonium gives Aurora a pair of pliers and, with Kayley and Jasmine's help, Aurora worked on the music box's mechanism carefully. Then once finished, Aurora placed the pliers on the desk)*

Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora: There.

Ed: (Nods to Utonium) Try it.

Eddy: (Agreeing with Ed) See if it works.

*(Utonium turns the music box back on, and to everyone's impressed smiles, the music box is working properly this time; The swans are moving forward now)*

Utonium: (Giving a soft smile to Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora) Clever girls. I knew you could do it.

Sunset Shimmer: (Nods in agreement) We all did.

Double D: (Nods in agreement with Sunset Shimmer) As a team.

*(Then Utonium turns the music box off)*

Utonium: Alright. Now with my help, you say. Why did you come down here to find me?

*(Realizing, Kayley then pulled out her, Jasmine, and Aurora's egg-shaped box from her dress pocket)*

Kayley: Jasmine, Aurora, and I need your help with something.

Jasmine and Aurora: With this.

*(They give the egg-shaped box to Utonium, and after he accepted it, he looked at it with a soft nostalgic smile)*

Soarin: Kayley and her siblings tell us you might know of that egg-shaped box.

Rainbow Dash: And they can't open it.

Brick: Which is kind of odd.

Butch: Not to mention sad.

Utonium: I haven't seen this in a very long time.

*(He looks at Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora with a soft smile)*

Utonium: I made it for another clever girl.... Who came to live with me after she was orphaned at a very early age, after her parents were killed in a housefire.

*(Kayley's group gave calm sad smiles, knowing who Utonium is talking about)*

Kayley's group: Mother. (Julianna.)

Utonium: Yep. You know, when she first arrived that time, she wouldn't leave her new room. Spent day and night locked away, her head buried in her books.

*(Kayley's group got interested, for they heard of this for the first time)*

Boomer: Wow!

Chip: That's interesting to know.

Skippy: What did you do to win her over?

*(Utonium showed the egg-shaped box)*

Utonium: I left this outside her door. And, over time as grew accustomed to her new home here, she came to trust me.... But most importantly, herself. And now she's given it to you, Jasmine, and Aurora, as part of her deathbed will.

May: But she never left them the key to it.

Misty: Let alone the egg-shaped box.

Elsa: Which is why we came to ask you for help.

Jack: Is there any way we can open it?

*(Hearing them, Utonium smiled softly, understanding their predicament)*

Utonium: Your predicament is understandable. And you must miss her terribly.

*(Kayley's group nods)*

Utonium: (To Kayley's group) I know I do. *(To the Kingsleigh children)* And I can't imagine how your father must feel.

Kayley's group: (Agreeing) Yeah....

Kristoff: We are, after all, trying to cope over our loss for Julianna.

Anna: Like any caring family member and friend would.

*(Then they changed the subject calmly)*

Utonium: Remember, Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora, some locks are harder to pick than others. *(Looks at the egg-shaped box)* And I'm afraid this one is especially tricky. Especially with a pin tumbler like this.

Kayley's group: Yes.

Aurora: We tried.

*(They softly chuckled a bit. Then a bell from the clock rang, getting their attention and making them realize)*

Utonium: (Realizing) Oh, it's time.

*(He gives the egg-shaped box back to Kayley, who puts it back in her dress pocket)*

Utonium: Here, you run along and I'll be up shortly. It's Christmas Eve. It's going to be a magical night.

*(He winks at them. Giving a nod in agreement, Kayley's group then left the basement to return to the party. After they're gone, Archimedes turned to Utonium, who replied back with a soft smile)*

Archimedes: Professor, perhaps the key to that egg-shaped box must be somewhere about.

Utonium: Yes, I know, my friend. It won't be easy. But it was the Kingsleigh children's mother's dying wish.... So, go keep an eye on them and their friends.

Archimedes: (Nods) Right away, Professor!

*(He then flew away to go do his duty while Utonium got himself ready to appear at the party)*

***Coming up: After a rude guest rudely berates Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora for being "Selfish" when they, mostly Kayley, and Lionel hesitate to dance together, Kayley's group then leave to go calm themselves. Then afterwards, it's time for the children at the party to follow their gift strings to their gifts. After Chip, Elsa, Anna, their group, Skippy, May, Max, Misty, Mabel, Dipper, the Eds, Terriermon, Rajah, Olaf, Slushy, Torchic, Skitty, Manaphy, Jirachi, Togepi, and Cookie receive their gifts, Kayley's group then follow Kayley, Jasmine, and Aurora's shared gift string to a secret room they've never seen and/or been to before.***
