Note: This one is a bit longer than the Halloween special, giving you guys more content and stuff. Merry Christmas!!)
"Here comes the countdown"
It was December! Finally, Christmas time had made its way to East Harington. The air smelled like sugar cookies, the lights shone bright all over the city, and there was snow on the ground and falling from the sky. Zim, Dib, Star, and Bel were walking around town. Star, however, had the most Christmas cheer. "I can't believe it's finally Christmas!!" "Yeah! What exactly...is Christmas?" Bel asked. "Oh, it's the best time of year!! Everyone gets together, opening presents, singing songs, eating dinner together, and playing in the snow! And we celebrate the birth of Jesus!" "Oh, ok! It sounds wonderful." "It is! I get so happy every year and love being with my family. Now I can be with my cousin, my boyfriend, and my best friend ever!!" Bel smiled. Zim, however, didn't look that interested. "Zim, aren't you excited for the holidays?" He had a few flashbacks. "Eh...Christmas doesn't like me." "What do you mean? Christmas is for everyone!" He gave her a look. "Oh, was it because of one of your old evil plans or something?" "You could say that." "Ugh, Zim, what could you have done that ruined Christmas?" "That's not important, he's gone now. I think. I'm happy as long as I can spend this Christmas with you." He smiled. She smiled back.
Then Dib made a snowball and he threw it at Star. "Ack!!!" "Hah! You need to watch out Star!" "Oh you're on!!!" Star made a snowball and tossed it at Dib. "YEET!" She yelled.
Finally, Bel was hanging out at Star's place. She had asked Star to use her shed in the back yard for something, and Star agreed, assuming it was something alien related. Finally, Bel had been in there for a few hours. Star was on the couch, drinking apple cider. "What is she doing?! It's getting really cold outside. She should come in." Star set her drink down and went to the shed. "Hey Bel, how much longer are you going to-" Star gasped a little. "AAH!" Bel jumped back. "Uh, Hey Star! What's g-going on?" Bel said, shivering. "Oh my gosh. You've been in here for hours! You must be freezing!" She looked at Bel's little project she had been working on. "What is this? Hacking plans, weapon diagrams, maps for a prison escape route..." Bel sighed. "I've been trying to put the revolution together. It's been...hard. I need every backup plan possible. It's not easy to overthrow the government when your entire army is like, 10 people. You know how big the Irken Guard is?! Really Big! We could get thrown in prison, so we'll need an escape route, but then we'll have to fight them so that's what the weapon charts are for, and I might have to even take on Jak himself...We could Die Star! I need a plan or everything falls apart!" She started breathing really heavily. "Bel! Calm down, please! You're having a panic attack!" She took a deep breath. "Ok, I'm calm." "Look, I know you want to get this thing off the ground, but look at you! You're cold, tired, and stressed out of your mind! Just enjoy the holidays. Please stop worrying about this for now. I promise you can continue working on it, just wait until after Christmas. You've been through so much, you deserve a break." Bel sighed. "I guess you're right. Thanks, Star." "No problem." Star noticed Bel looking a little gloom. "Are you ok?" "What, me? I'm fine! Don't worry about me. Like you said, we can enjoy the holidays together! Let me just put this away, I'll be right out." "Ok." Star walked outside, but suddenly, a song started to play. "Oh no..." She looked at Bel.
Song: Foreigner by LEDGER
Τhe feast is set before me
It's on plates of platinum
Βut all I taste is ashes and my lips are turning numb
Τhe smiles in the beauty and the promises Ι see
Glοry, hallelujah never said it came fοr free
Ring arοund the roses
Ι see through yοur poses
Αshes tο ashes
Ιt all comes falling dοwn
Ι thought I would belong right here
When Ι was younger
Βut there's something in the atmοsphere
Whispers οf wοnder
(Crying, Belting)
Ι, I am a foreigner
Gοt a fire in my sοul, never gave it up
Αnd I knοw I don't belοng right here
Ι knοw I don't belong right here
Fly till Ι make it hοme
Ι keep my eyes tο the skies even if Ι don't
Αnd I knοw I don't belοng right here
Ι knοw I don't belong right here
Ηold οut your hand of riches and display yοur rοyalty
Ι'm fine with my bloodline in a different dynasty
Wοrship at the altar οf yοur vanity
Ι'll be in the Promised Land and let you be
Lοndοn bridge is falling dοwn
Μy fair lady holds her crοwn
Αshes tο ashes
Where's yοur saviοr now?
Ι thought I would belong right here
When Ι was younger
Βut there's something in the atmοsphere
Whispers οf wοnder
Ι, I am a foreigner
Gοt a fire in my sοul, never gave it up
Αnd I knοw I don't belοng right here

*She's imagining being on trial on Irk, losing her PAK at the voice change.*

Star was shocked at what she heard. "She's been through so much pain and trauma...and she's only a teenager too." She opened the door. She looked at Bel. "Hang on, I'm just finishing up-" Star cut her off with a hug. A tight hug. "Bel? Are you sure you're ok?" "What? Yes! I'm fine. Let's go drink some holiday drinks or whatever." Star looked at her walk by. "Ok..."
Star and Bel were watching a movie in her room. "So, I'm confused, what is he trying to find?" Bel asked. "His dad! He hasn't seen him in years." Star replied. "Why is he giving a racoon a hug?" "That's a great question. I'm going to say yes." Bel laughed a little. Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it." She opened it, and to her displeasure and annoyance, it was..."Oh. Kelsey." "Look, I don't think we should be spending Christmas with a freaky monster from outer space." "Wow, thanks, you're so kind." "But I need your help." "Why?! You're mean to me! All the time! You tried to expose me to the freaking government once!" "ONE TIME! I tried to expose you to the government ONE TIME! Just help me!" She said, whining. "Ok, what do you need help with?" "All of my orders for my exclusive mascara, that I ordered for myself, have been CANCELED!! Nothing's going through the mail right now! Not with my friends either!" "Hmm. Interesting. How is this my problem? What does this have to do with me?" "I don't know! You do techy stuff, right? I didn't know if you had anything to do with this, but I'm sure you could fix it, even if you didn't!" "Well, Zim's got more tech experience than me, and Dib's definitely got a knack for it, but I can fight a threat and Star could...encourage us. We can fix this, but we'll need the whole team." "Ugh, fine." "Do you want to join us, Kelsey?" She said, in a somewhat snarky tone. "What?! Ew! No! Why would I?!" "Because we need to track the cause of the cancellation on your phone, and I KNOW you wouldn't trust any of us with it, and can't be more than 10 feet away from it." She looked mad. "Ugh! Fine!" "And we need a temporary truce. We won't get anything done if we're bickering the entire time." Now she looked really mad. She took a deep breath, and shook Bel's hand. "Fine. Temporary truce."
Zim, Dib, Bel, Star, and now Kelsey were walking down the street. "Alright, Dib, you picking up anything?" "Not yet. The readings are foggy." Star was looking around. "Hey, where'd all the decorations go?" "Someone must have torn them down." Kelsey replied. "Who would do that?" "Someone angry." Zim said. "Ok, how do we find her?" Star asked. "Well, for being able to control some of the world's biggest shopping websites, this person's gotta have a huge signal of some sort." Dib said, holding up the signal reader in one direction. "But I'm not getting anything." Zim noticed, and pointed it in the other direction. Suddenly, it started beeping. "It's that way! Come on, let's go." Star said. "How did you do that?" Dib asked. Zim shrugged. "I dunno, you were pointing it in one direction and weren't getting anything, so just put it in the other direction." "Dude, I've never seen you be able to put two and two together that quickly." "Eh, maybe I'm changing." "I'm betting that it's Star. Honesty, that's the one thing I'm not disturbed by. You are smart and a good guy now thanks to her." "Yeah, I guess, I...wow." Zim said. He never realized this. Star's had a huge impact on him, and he never even knew. He caught up with the others. "This house. This is where the signal is coming from." Dib said, once they finally reached the house. "Alright, now we just need to find a way to break in and-" Bel said, but before she could finish, Zim kicked down the door. "YAH!" "Oh. That works too. Alright guys, prepare for a fight." A girl in a gaming chair turned around. She had black hair tied in a messy bun, black eyeshadow, and wore a black hoodie with black pants and black platform boots. "Well well well, looks like you finally found my OOF-" She said as she turned around too fast and fell out of her chair. She dusted herself off. "Are you the hacker?" Bel asked. "Yes. Yes I am. Oh, let me introduce myself. The name's Jade Black. Super-Hacker and Destroyer of Christmas. Those aren't official titles, I just think they sound cool." Jade replied. "Jade Black? That name sounds so familiar..." Kelsey said to herself. Bel looked Jade up and down, and looked around the room. "Really? This is it?" Zim said. "What were you expecting?" "I dunno, more of a fight. The last villain we fought on a holiday had crazy powers and did some...messed up things that I'm not comfortable with saying out loud that traumatized all of us for life." Bel replied. "Wow. Interesting." "Yeah. Anyway, stop ruining Christmas, you're ticking a lot of people off!" "Uh, no. How could I stop when I just found ALIENS with ALIEN TECH!" "Aliens? What are you talking about?" Bel said, with a bit of a nervous laugh. "You probably don't recognize me, but I'm in your history class. Room 304. Ms. Sarah." "THAT'S where I've heard your name before! Roll call!" "Right, and Kelsey, was it? You're in that class always ranting about aliens and stuff, and trying to expose this girl." "But I'm not an alien. None of us are, I think you're a bit mixed up." "Really? Tell that to my disguise-removers!" She hit a button, and two mini robots tore Bel and Zim's wigs off, and took out their contacts. One turned off Bel's holo-disguiser. Bel nervously laughed. "Hmm, something's not right here. My detector says there's still one more alien in here." "Well, there's not, so your thing's probably busted." Kelsey said. Her bot came over to Star and turned off her holo-disguiser. Star made a shocked noise. Kelsey was in absolute shock. "Uh...hey sis!" Star said, a little nervous. Kelsey looked at her, wide-eyed, and fainted. "Oh geez!" "Did you not tell her?!" Bel said. "No!! You know how she feels about aliens!!" "Eh, fair." "And now, my real plan begins!" Suddenly, everything went black.
A short while later, and everyone woke up. Bel, Zim, and Star were handcuffed with alien handcuffs, and Dib and Kelsey were tied to chairs. "Oh shoot, not the alien handcuffs." Dib said. "Yeah, ordered them off of-" Jade started. "Yeah yeah, ufozies.com, I know." "Oh really? You're an alien hunter too? Why are you with them then?" "A, I am a Paranormal Investigator, I don't strictly stick to aliens, and B, I've changed my mind, cause not all aliens are power-craving psychos." "Hey, I heard that!" Zim said. "Well, you and Tak were, you can admit it!" "I, eh.." "He's not wrong. But you've changed, it's ok." Star said. "Well, after searching through the hard drives, and using the energy from those funky looking egg things on your backs, I was able to use the signals to detect weapons located in space. And I found something interesting!" She pulled up a picture of a giant Santa monster. "A giant Santa-robot monster creature thing! Do any of you know what this is?" Everyone looked confused. "Uh, no." Bel said. Zim looked nervous. "What? No!" "Yeah, sorry Jade, that doesn't belong to any of us." Star said. "Well, whatever, I'm going to steal it." "Why do you want to ruin Christmas anyway?" Bel asked. "Don't ask that! I've seen plenty of Christmas movies to know that she probably has some depressing backstory." Star replied. "Yeah, she's probably an orphan." Kelsey said. "What?! No! My parents are just at work all the time, so I have time to build all this stuff. And I just don't like Christmas. It's a lame commercial holiday where everyone's all cheery and acts like their friends. It's gross, I hate it. So, now that I found aliens, I can just get rid of it!" "But WHY?!" Star said. "Uh, cause I can." Jade replied. She powered up the robot, and dressed in her trench coat, and wore a cool hat. She put on light up gloves. "Ah, I was waiting for an excuse to use this stuff!" She got in the front seat of the Santa robot and put everyone inside. "Ugh, how do I control this? Do I flick the switch or pull the lever or.." Jade said, trying to work the Santa robot. "No, you pull the lever, THEN flick the switch." Zim said. "Ah, gotcha." Jade replied. Zim realized what he just said. "Oh shoot." "ZIM?!" Everyone said in unison. "Why would you tell her that?!" Dib yelled. "How did you tell her that?! IS THIS YOUR ROBOT?!" Star yelled at Zim. "IT'S A LONG STORY, OK?! It was an evil plan to conquer Christmas, and it miserably failed. That was like, well it feels like 22 years ago, but it was more like 6. I'm sorry! Geez!" She was rampaging the streets in the Santa robot. "People of Earth! I'm here to ruin Christmas, so run around and scream or whatever's supposed to happen here." Zim looked kinda upset. Suddenly, he got an idea. He leaned over to Bel. "I'll talk to her to keep her distracted, and you can use your laser swords to break us out." He whispered. She nodded. "Look, Jade, I'm going to give you some advice." Zim said. "I don't need your advice, alien dude, I got it." "There's no point in being a villain if you don't have any motivation." "What do you mean? My motivation is ruining Christmas?" "Ok, let's say you do that. Your plan succeeds and you ruin Christmas. Then what? You accomplished the big thing you've been trying to do, but now there's nothing left. So there's no point. If you just believe in pointless motivation..." He looked over at Dib. "Then there isn't much of a point continuing." Dib caught on to what Zim was saying, and was kind of surprised. He started to think about some things. It really got him thinking. Maybe him and Zim's rivalry was dumb. Maybe they should just let it go. Jade thought about what Zim said. "You make a good point, but I don't have to listen to you." Suddenly, the machine started glitching. "Ah..I know what I'm doing, just SHUT UP!" She said, as she struggled to operate the machine. While they were talking, Bel pressed the button on her laser sword, after putting it on silent mode, and cut open the handcuffs, as she went around freeing everyone. She got to Kelsey, and hesitated, but then cut her free. "You hesitated." Kelsey said, narrowing her eyes at Bel. "I can tie you up again if you want." Bel said. She motioned for Dib and Zim to go down to the lower level and deactivate the robot. They cut the wires, and the machine broke down. "UGH! You guys SUCK!" Jade said. She then got an evil face. "Alright, Plan B: ICE RAMPAGE!" "Wait, what?" Bel said, as she turned her disguise back on. She handed Star and Zim their disguises, and they put them back on. Jade went over to her house, and went downstairs to a HUGE empty room. She did some typing on her computer, and the place started to get really cold. "Brr, it got really cold in here really quick." Star said. "Uh, GUYS?!" Kelsey said as the walls began turning into ice. The whole place turned into an ice palace. "Wow, how amazing, the ice palace is complete. Now the final step!" Jade plugged a plug from her computer into a plug on her sleeve. She turned something on, as her hair began to turn an icy teal. She started to change, and her eyes turned a glowing blue and her jacket turned into a spiky blue icicle-jacket, and frosty whisps went across her face. "FINALLY! Hacking at it's best!" "Is she...hacking herself?" Bel said. "NOW let's see you try to stop me!" She looked around the palace. "Hmm, who to freeze first? Eenie, meenie, minie, YOU!" She pointed at Bel and shot ice at her, and she quickly jumped away. "AAH!" "RUN!" Dib yelled. And they ran fast as she blasted ice, cackling evilly. "How did this even happen?! WHAT IS THIS?!" Bel yelled. "I don't know!! I'm freaking out, dude!" Star said. They ran around corners. "How does she keep finding us?" Dib said. "Kelsey! Take off your necklace! It's so shiny she can see us FROM A MILE AWAY!" Zim said. "NO! This cost me $45! I LOVE this necklace!" "Is it WORTH YOUR LIFE?!" Bel yelled. "UGH! FINE! But I-" Suddenly, Kelsey's face instantly changed. Her hair turned a wispy white. "G-guys?" "No...come on Kelsey! You're fine right?" Star said. "I..I didn't mean to-" Her hand turned an icy blue, and she fell to the ground, unconscious, becoming fully frozen in solid, blue ice. "KELSEY!" Star yelled, as tears ran down her face. "Kelsey, wake up!! Please! What is going on?!" Bel put her hand on Star's shoulder, and sighed. "Come on, Star, we need to go. We'll come back for her." She wiped away her tears. "Ok." They got up and ran. Suddenly, Jade came out. "Sparkles is down, what a shame. But WOW that worked better than I expected. I mean, look at her, she's solid ice. To be honest, she was annoying me anyway. WAY too feminine. Alright, now WHO'S NEXT." They all screamed and ran as fast as they could. They had been running for a while. Dib was starting to lose his breath. He breathed heavily as he kneeled down. "Just, give me... a...second." He said, panting. "COME ON, DIB! WE'VE GOTTA GO!" Bel yelled. "Hang on, I just-" Suddenly, his face changed. "Oh no." He said, quietly, as his hair turned wispy white. "No no no...come on, NO!" Bam. Hit the floor. Became solid ice. "DIB!" Bel ran over. A tear ran down her face. "You've gotta be kidding me!" Bel started to think. She wiped it away."Maybe, if she's freezing them this easy, there's a way to undo it...it's just code. I'm sure there's a way to undo it." Bel said, quietly. She kept running. Meanwhile, Star and Zim were running through the long icy hallway. "WHERE DID BEL AND DIB GO?!" Star said. "I don't know! But we need to find a way out of here. And FAST! She freezes people so easily!" He grabbed her hand. "COME ON!" Suddenly, Jade broke the door down. "Hey there." "AAH!" "Hmm, I think I'm gonna get red first. Say freeze!" She had an ice blast ready, aimed at Zim, when Star suddenly remembered. She could save him. Just like Dib saved her back on Halloween. "NO!" She screamed as she jumped in the way of the blast. "STAR!" Jade shrugged. "Eh, that works too." She hit the ground. He came over to her. "Come on, no..." Her disguise chip froze and fell off, revealing her Irken, as her PAK got almost freezer-burnt and she froze into solid ice. "No..." "Well, time to find blue. I'll come back for you..." Jade left. Suddenly, Bel ran in. "ZIM! Where's Sta-" Zim gave her a look of devastation as Bel saw Star's icy body on the ground. "Oh, come on, no!" Zim looked ready to cry. "Don't get upset. I think there's a way to undo this. Think about it. This is code she gave herself. I don't think they're actually dead, I think it can be undone. If it was permanent, it would've happened a lot slower." Zim got fierce. "Hey, you're right. We should find her control panel and stop this. This ends now. Maybe the Dib could help us.." Bel looked a little upset. "Where's Dib?" "Frozen." "Oh..." "It's ok. I have a plan that might work. Do you have your ray guns?" "No, I left them at my base. I didn't think I'd need weapons for our Christmas hang out with Star!" "Yeah, but we're alien fugitives. Trouble follows us everywhere. You've gotta come prepared. You ever fight with a sword before?" "Uh...once or twice. It didn't go great." "That's ok! As long as you know how to fight with one. I always carry spares." She handed Zim a laser sword. It was blank, but when he powered it on, it turned red, similar to his PAK color. "Sweet!" "I know this is gonna sound crazy, but it just might work. I'm going to run to find her control panel, while you distract her. Which means..." "Do I have to fight her?! Head on?! ALONE?!" "Yes. Even if you get frozen, it will only be for a second. I will hopefully be able to disable the code and undo the freezing without being spotted." "And if you do get spotted?" Bel looked worried. "It'll be a while before we can see daylight again." Zim gulped. "Be careful, Bel." "I will. Good luck out there, Zim." "Thanks." He ran off.
Jade was in her throne room. "One of them's gotta show up eventually. Then I'll be able to find the other one." "JADE!" Zim yelled as he entered. "Oh, red boy! What's up." "I challenge you to a duel." "A duel? Why can't I just freeze you now?" She had a blast of ice prepared. "Uh...it'll be fun, I guess. Have you ever fought an alien soldier before?" "Well...no. That'll be cool to brag about. Ok, let's make terms. You win, I let you, your friends, and your girl, go. You lose..." She smirked. "I've got big plans for you and your techie brains. Imagine what I could do on a galactic level! I could conquer entire WORLDS!" Zim got sturn. "That's not going to happen. I'll never help you!" "Eh, if I can give myself ice powers, surely I could brainwash you into helping me." He got worried now. "Are we gonna battle or what?" "Alright." She formed an ice sword. "Let's fight, space boy." And a fight began. She swiped at him, he used his PAK legs to give him a boost off the wall and launched at her. The fight was getting intense. Clang. Swish. Cling. Meanwhile, Bel had spotted the control panel room, but it was way up high. She used her PAK legs to climb up there. She started to hack the system. "Oh, this might take longer than I thought. I should've had Zim do the hacking and me do the fighting!" She rapidly started to look for breaks in the code. Meanwhile, Zim was having a hard time holding up. He started to lose his balance with the sword. "Ugh, come on Bel, hurry!!" He said quietly to himself. "What's the matter, space brains? Can't hold up a fight?" Finally, Zim had enough. He used his PAK legs to jump out at her, but she caught him in ice structures. He struggled, trying to break free. She took his sword. "I'm gonna save this. Well little alien dude, looks like you lost." Zim got worried. Bel saw what was going on. "Oh crap!!" She looked back at the computer. "Ugh, how is code this hard to break?! I'm getting close, I just need a little more time!" "Looks like you get to work for me now. But I can't have you trying to escape, now can I?" "What are you-" She shot an ice blast at him. "AAH!" His wig turned white and fell off, as his antennas turned whispy white. "No no no.." He said, quietly, as he was starting to freeze up. "No no no!!" He tried to resist, and the ice started going away. "What..?!" She shot a more powerful blast at him. But he stayed sturn. "UGH! WHY WON'T YOU FREEZE!" She looked over, and saw his PAK. "Oh, it must be this thing..." "Wait, no!-" She shot ice at it, as it got freezer burnt and the ice began to overtake him. "Bel, hurry!" He said, until finally, he froze solid. "Aah! Zim!" "There we go. I wonder why you took longer to freeze. Huh, you must have stronger willpower." Bel quickly tried to finish hacking, until finally, a screen popped up, saying "Undo code? Select Y or N" She tried to hit the button, until Jade broke in. "There you are, blue! Took longer to find you. You're a sneaky one. "Now, hang on a sec-" "You can hack too?! Man, you aliens are genius! I just need to freeze you, and then the real fun can begin." "You can try, but you won't be able to brainwash me." "Why, huh? You may have a stronger willpower than the rest of them, but that won't stop me." She pulled out a computer chip. "I have my ways." Bel looked really nervous. "Aah!" She said, as she covered her PAK up. "Alright, LET'S FINISH THIS!" Jade yelled, as she shot an ice blast at Bel. "AAH!" Bel's wig turned white and fell off, as her holo disguise froze up and came off. Her antennas began to turn wispy white. "Aah..." She made a pain noise as she fell to the ground. Her hand started to turn icy blue. "Any last words?" Jade said, taunting. Suddenly, though she stumbled a bit, she stood back up. "Yeah, actually." "Wh-" Jade said, kinda shocked. "Game over, Jade." Bel smirked. "Wait, NO!" Bel hit the Y key and the castle began to glitch. "STOP! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The freezing effect wore off, and Bel returned to normal. She put her wig, now kinda messy, back on and turned her holo disguiser back on. Jade went back to normal and her powers faded. "No!!" Zim unfroze and inhaled sharply, catching his breath as he came back to the ground. "YES! She did it!" He put his wig, also messy, back on, along with his beanie. Star, Kelsey, and Dib woke up too. "Ugh, that was horrible." Kelsey said. "Yeah. It feels like my insides are all cold and icy." Star said. Dib ran over to them. "Hey! We're alive!" "Yeah! I guess we are!" They did a group hug. Suddenly, Kelsey cleared her throat and backed away. "Let's go find Bel and Zim! Hopefully they're ok." Star said. Jade looked at Bel. "I still have the chip! I can turn you into a mindless servant for me." "Really? How will you be able to do that when you're frozen?" "Frozen? What are you-" Bel pressed a key to get one blast of ice for herself. "Say freeze!" Her eyes glowed blue as she blasted ice at Jade, and Jade started to freeze. "AAH! This isn't over. I'll be back for you guys! You'll see!" Bel smirked. "Then we'll be ready." She froze, and Bel slid her under the control panel. "I hope you take some time to think, and whoever frees you gives you a second chance, Ms. Black." Bel said. Star gave Zim a huge hug. "Oh I'm so happy to see your unfrozen face!" He giggled a little. "You too." Bel gave Dib a hug. "I'm glad you're ok." "I'm glad you're ok too. Did you almost get frozen? What happened after I froze?" Dib said. "Yeah, same." Star replied. "It's kind of a long story." "Tell us all about it when we get back to my place. I think it's time we finally have our Christmas party with no freaky hacker ladies!" Kelsey came over to Bel. "I hope you know that I still don't like you, space girl." She gave Bel a look. Bel gave one back. "But you did kinda save my life, so...thanks. I can't be the queen of the school if I'm a frozen ice statue." Bel looked a little surprised. "Uh, yeah. You're welcome." They got in Bel's ship, and flew back to East Harrington.
Star had an awesome party at her place. There was Apple Cider and Eggnog, dancing, present giving, and it was everything she had hoped for. She got to spend Christmas with everyone she loved. Her friends, her sister, her mom, her cousins, her uncle, her best friend, and her boyfriend. She couldn't have asked for anything better. Star looked outside to see that snow covered the ground. "Woah! It's beautiful outside!" "Hey, I think the lake froze over. I'll check to see if it's sturdy. If it is, do you guys want to go ice skating?" Peg asked. "YES!! Oh it'll be so fun!!" "Uh, what's ice skating?" Zim said. "Oh, you'll love it. I'll show you." They got out onto the lake. "Star, this isn't what I had in mind. I don't think I can skate across a frozen lake with blades on my feet!" "I'll help you. Here, grab my hand." She helped Zim up, and he could barely balance. Star laughed. "Just hold on to me, you'll be fine. Glide like this." She helped him, and they skated together. Peg saw. "Aww, she's teaching him how to skate!" "Ew." Dib said. "Hey, why don't you get your girlfriend out there, Dib?" "Uh, I barely know how to skate, and I doubt she knows how." "Why don't you try?" He looked at Bel, sitting on a log by the lake. He came over to her. "Hey, wanna get on the lake?" "Sure! Wait, can you skate?" He shrugged. "Eh, kinda." They got out on the ice together, and when trying to help each other out, they both fell over and laughed. Zim decided to take a break while Star skated with Kelsey. They were trying cool tricks. "Dang, you've improved." Kelsey said. "Thanks, you too." "Try to catch me, you know I can beat you in a race!" Kelsey said as she dashed off. "Oh you're on!" "Careful girls! The ice could be unstable!" Membrane yelled. Star imagined an awesome Christmas number in her head.
Song: It's Not Christmas Without You (From "Victorious")
(Star) Carolers singing
Sleigh bells are ringing
It's that time of year
Everyone's toasting
Chestnuts are roasting
Christmas time is near
Something's missing, and I'm wishing
Wishing that you knew
How much it would mean to spend this
Christmas time with you
(Kelsey) So if you feel it coming
(Peg) On this special day
(Newmans) Just trust your heart
Don't let your head get in the way
(Star) 'Cause it's Christmas
And the start of something new
Well it's Christmas
And I hope you will feel it too
*She points at Zim*
Candy canes and mistletoe
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
But all of it means nothing
Without you
Without you
(Bel) Just for a minute you get a feeling
Look up in the sky
Santa's here, so get in the spirit
Just give it a try
Children beaming, and I'm dreaming
Hoping that it's true
'Cause it would mean so much to spend this
Christmas time with you
(Dib) So if you feel it comin'
(Zim) On this special day
(Bel) Just trust your heart
'Cause I can't wait to hear you say
(All) That it's Christmas
And the start of something new
Well, it's Christmas
And I hope you'll feel it too
(Membrane) Everyone together, sing
Silver bells and golden rings
(Star) But all of it means nothing
Without you
No, no no
(All) It's not Christmas (Christmas)
Without you, you, you
It's not Christmas
Without you, you, you
It's not Christmas
Without you, you, you
It's not Christmas without you
(Spoken) Merry Christmas! "
