Story:

Narrator: We find our hero Captain Frying Pan as his home city Heartfelt was getting ready for their annual Christmas Fest week where they celebrate the Holidays from Hanukah, Kwanza, Ramanda and of course Christmas. The city all decorated with Holiday decorations, Christmas lights can be seen all around making the city full of happiness as the citizens and out of town tourists are having fun for this annual week long Holiday fun in Heartfelt city. However for Captain Frying Pan...

Captain Frying Pan: 20 crazy Karen's to calm down, 40 shoplifters I stopped, also stopped 8 kidnapping attempts and 4 bank robberies and oh yes getting 10 cats out of the Christmas trees and it's always the same cat!

He turns to a Persian cat woman named Samantha.

Captain Frying Pan: Samantha how many times do I have to tell you? You're an adult not a kitten anymore you should know better than to keep climbing on top of Christmas trees around town!

Samantha: I like the candy canes on top plus the view is so pretty from up there.

Captain Frying Pan: Well knock it off. Sheesh crazy cameo's. Well time for me to get my ingredients for my soup of the day...WHOA!

Suddenly the lights in the city went out making a blackout.

Captain Frying Pan: Uh-oh! I better fly up to see what's the problem is. UP! UP! AND...you know how the saying goes.

Captain Frying Pan flew upward into the air and flew straight over to the power plants. After crash landing into a snow bank he went up to one of the workers and saw the power plants generators are completely encased in ice.

Captain Frying Pan: What the heck happen? Did one of you guys left the freezers open?

Foremen: The craziest thing. All of this ice just showed up out of nowhere. It'll take a month for us to chip away this ice to get the powers back on for the city.

Captain Frying Pan: Leave that to me. * To his frying pan* Okay cosmic gem any ideas on how I can...urp! URP! Uh-oh...STAND BACK!

Captain Frying Pan faces the gigantic ice and suddenly he spewed out fire from his mouth using the heat to melt away the ice for the generators to safely power back on giving the city back their lights. The foremen cheered as Captain flops to his knees.

Captain Frying Pan: Oh brother that is going to give me on hell of a heartburn later on. * Burps out smoke* Excuse me.

After the foremen left suddenly the Captain got a blast of cold wind hitting him.

Captain Frying Pan: BRR! Holy crap it gotten even colder. I wonder where that wind came from? The weather report didn't say anything about high gusts of snowy winds.

Girls voice: E-excuse me sir! Do you have any change? Please sir?

He turn to see a young girl in a raggy winter coat, her face hidden in her hood as she has her hand out for change.

Captain Frying Pan: Change? Uh...well...hold on kid.

He felt sorry for the girl that he pulled out a twenty dollar bill and put it in her hand.

Captain Frying Pan: Here kid that should help. Now you better get home it's getting colder out here and I'm the guy wearing just a shirt and sweatpants out here.

He flew away as the girl reveals she has dark blue hair with light blue skin and glowing yellow eyes as she walks leaving behind a trail of ice behind her.

Homeless girl: N-no, no can't go home, no-no can't go no-no-no can't go home no home no!

The next day as Captain Frying Pan is working at his food truck selling off hot bowls of chicken noodle soup and hot coco for Heartfelt city's Christmas caroling concert where volunteers come up to sing Christmas songs to help raise money for the poor. Next to Captain was Candice the cow with her friend Rob the dog selling out Christmas cookies.

Rob: Good turn out this year.

Candice: It sure is hon. Hey Captain would you like some cookies?

Captain Frying Pan: Hey that is swell of you. Thanks.

As he is about to bite down on his gingerbread man, ice appeared on the cookie and suddenly the Captain took a bite out of it and started chewing.

Captain Frying Pan: Um...it's a bit colder than I thought it would be.

Two of the carolers Jimmy the lizard with his mom Catherine appeared, despite them both wearing heavy clothes they were both shivering from the suddenly burst of cold air.

Jimmy: Hey C-c-c-c-captain can we have some of your s-s-s-s-s-soup and hot chocolate?

Captain Frying Pan: Sure hold on. Wow it gotten cold.

Catherine: It's a bit harder when you're a species that's cold blooded. Hmm? Oh dear that poor girl!

Catherine pointed out to the same homeless girl Captain Frying Pan encounter yesterday as she is begging for money.

Rob: That's sad.

Candice: We should do something.

Captain Frying Pan: I'll take care of her.

He fixes up two cups one of his soup and the other of his hot chocolate to give to the poor girl. However a police officer came up to the girl to escort her out of the park.

Police officer: Hey you!

Homeless girl: P-please sir some change?

Police officer: Sorry but you need to leave right now! You're not welcome here.

As he place his hand on her should to escort her out, ice suddenly form around his hand as he yanks it away in fear as the girl started to walk away then the wind and snow started to pick up swirling heavy snow aroud the park.

Homeless girl: No! No never welcome no not welcome no not welcome ANYWHERE!

She suddenly let out a blast of ice waves that froze the grounds making it slippery as the people tried to run away. Captain Frying Pan went up to her to stop her.

Captain Frying Pan: Kid calm down! I'm here to help! What's your name?

Homeless girl: T-the voices in the darkness, they call me Yuki-Onna.

Captain Frying Pan: A Yuki what? Listen I don't know how you got these ice powers but you need to calm down. Here let me...WHOA!

A blast of cold air blew him back, then an a snow slide appears out of no where and buried Captain Frying Pan underneath, Candice held Rob close to her as Jimmy helps his mom up. Yuki-Onna look at the furries.

Candice: Rob stay close to me hon I won't let her hurt you.

Rob: Candice I'll be okay as long as I'm with you.

Jimmy: Mom here let me help you.

Catherine: Jimmy! Be careful sweetie!

Jimmy: I won't let her hurt you Mom.

Yuki-Onna saw them all being close together triggered flashbacks when she was younger.

(Flashback)

Yuki-Onna was known as Sarah Connins, she and her Mom moved from Japan to American when she was five years old after she lost her father back in Japan to an illness, her Mom was suffering from an illness too where she needed to be on oxygen, however her Stepfather only married to her mother for the money but since her mom got sick he just walked out on them during Christmas. After her stepfather left them her mother's health suddenly declined and she collaps. Moments the ambulance had to take her mother to the hospital but sadly she didn't make it. A woman from Child Serivices came to get her but she ran away in fear and sadness and been on her own.

(Back to the present)

Yuki-Onna develop tears from her eyes and started crying and ran away as Captain Frying Pan finally dug his way out of the snow.

Captain Frying Pan: To think I turned down skiing lessons when I was 10. Okay where is the snow queen? Huh? She's gone!

The next day Captain Frying Pan was having a phone conversation with his friend Dr. Hanan whom is out of city to celebrate Ramanda with her family.

Dr. Hanan: So this girl with snow powers just up and vanish? What did she take?

Captain Frying Pan: Well that's just it she didn't take any valuables, or money from anyone. She just freak out and ran away. Anyways Doc I hope you're enjoying your holidays.

Dr. Hanan: You too Percy. Happy Holidays and enjoy your Christmas with your love ones.

As she hung up on him. Captain Frying Pan sadly looked at an old photo of him as a kid with his late parents.

Captain Frying Pan: Y-yeah my loved ones. * Sighs* Mom, Dad I wish you two were still around. It's sad that I lost you two when I was in college to work on being a great chef, Dad we had our differences but you taught me to be tough and Mom you taught me to be kind even to jerks who treated me badly. I thought when this crazy alien queen put this cosmic gem in my frying pan I wouldn't be so lonely. Oh well I spent Christmas alone before this shouldn't be any different. Besides I got work to do. I have to find out about that crazy snow girl. Oh today's the toy drive at the mall for the Christmas fest I'll bet she'll be there too.

At the mall lots of people are donating toys for the needy along with clothes and some foods donations. Even the kids are helping donating toys and food and clothes. Kyle Fox with his two moms Lizzie the lizard and her wife Cassandra Cow are even getting in the act as Cassie Fox with Violet dressed as Elves to help promote the charity event as Violet's Mom helped volunteer to collect the toys and clothes and food. Wally the kangaroo was with Father Nick the preacher as he came by to help with the donations.

Wally: It's nice that you humans are helping us out.

Father Nick: Well not all of us humans are bad towards furry folks. We are all here to help those in need especially around this time of the year.

Meecat: Yeah I'm grateful that I'm still spending Holidays with my daughter and friends.

Kyle: Father here are our donations.

Cassandra: Moo I hope they will all love my homemade cookies.

Lizzie: I just hope my old leather jacket will help keep someone warm this year.

Kyle: I just hope some kid enjoys some of my old toys. I had to find the good ones that were not broken and gave them some good ones. Like this train I got it still works...

The train suddenly fell apart in his paws.

Kyle: Whoops! Well it did once!

Father Nick: It's okay my boy I got some friends who can fix that up. It's the thought that counts too.

Violet: Thanks for you all for your donations.

Cassie: Have a great Holiday.

As everyone is helping with the donations and toy drive; Captain Frying Pan is busy scouring the mall looking for Yuk-Onna passing by two squirrel's Casey and Whitnee.

Casey: Hey it's Captain Frying Pan.

Captain Frying Pan: Yes it is I Captain Frying Pan! Stronger than one month old fruitcake, more powerful than the tartiest cranberry sauce, able to eat 50 dozen gingerbread house without any milk in a single bound! I fight truth, justice and the fried fast food way of life! TRA-LA-LA!

Whitnee: We wanted to congratulate you on that one case that you did on those awful poachers.

Casey: Yeah those nasty humans who hunted us furries for our feet were sick.

Captain Frying Pan: Yeah for a couple of Furry Poachers they were sweethearts.

(Flashback)

A dealer and a supplier were in a parking lot as the supplier hold up human-size animal feet on chains.

Dealer: Are those the real deals?

Supplier: Yeah, regular rabbit feet from non-anthro rabbits can bring a little luck but human size rabbit and other animal feet from those human-animal freaks can bring in lots of luck.

Captain Frying Pan: HEY! Don't you creeps know that poaching feet from furries is not only sick and wrong but highly illegal? EAT PAN YOU ANIMAL POACHING WEIRDO'S!

He then starts beating up the two creeps with his frying pan.

Captain Frying Pan: TAKE THAT! AND THIS! AND THOSE! Holy crap I'm exhausted! STAY DOWN! * Hits them both with his frying pan* Now stay down until the police arrive! Don't make me sit on you both!

(Back to the present)

Captain Frying Pan: Like I said real sweethearts. Anyways hope you two are having a good Holiday.

Whitnee: We will because we are spending time together with our love ones.

Casey: Yeah it's a great time of the year to be with friends and family.

As the two squirrels left the Captain felt more sad as he thought about the days of his parents on Christmas days and how he miss them. He shook the thought up and resumes his duty.

Captain Frying Pan: Okay now where is that Yuki-Onna? What the heck is a Yuki-Onna anyway?

Kyle's voice: A Japanese snow ghost woman.

He turns to see Kyle with Lizzie, Cassandra and Father Nick.

Captain Frying Pan: A Japanese what?

Kyle: A Japanese mythological creature called a Yuki-Onna, they are ghost spirits that takes a form of a Japanese woman during snow storms using their powers to lure unsuspecting victims and freezes them to death. I learn about them while checking up on my Japanese heritage.

Captain Frying Pan: Well I should warn you folks there is this crazy-head homeless girl that really lives up to that name. I have to find her and stop her before she hurts someone.

Father Nick: Captain did you say she is homeless?

Captain Frying Pan: Yeah that street kid is causing problems with her ice powers just freaks out and starts freezing things.

Father Nick: My son if you find her don't hurt her. Remember she's not this faceless character as the homeless; most likely she is a person like you, me and these kind furries. A person who might be in need of help.

As Captain Frying Pan goes about his duty; Yuki-Onna went to the drive to admire the tree near Cassie and Violet just collected more donations with the help of John the Shepherd man when he sees Yuki-Onna.

John: Hey kid do you need some help?

Yuki-Onna: S-so p-p-pretty...so very p-p-pretty!

Meecat went over to check on Yuki-Onna out of concern.

Meecat: Hey kid are you okay? Come on I'll help you out. You need to come with me now.

Not knowing to Meecat she accidentally triggered a memory of a child service worker telling her that she needed to come with her. Making Yuki-Onna freaking out.

Yuki-Onna: No! No! NO! NO-NO-NO-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T TAKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

She let out a blast of icy wind that froze Meecat, Violet, John, Cassie and many others in ice blocks; then snow and ice starts spreading throughout the mall freezing a few costumers.

Cassandra Cow: KYLE! Stay close to us!

Kyle: Moms what's happening?

Lizzie: We don't know but it'll be okay you're with us!

Captain Frying Pan: Uh-oh! The snow queen is here! * Gets hit with a snowball* Hey!

He sees everyone is trapped in ice but him.

Captain Frying Pan: Yikes! Oh man I hope they're still...I got to free them but how? I can't use the fire breath like I did the other day I might harm them. Hmm!

He finds Kyle's broken train on the floor, using his magic frying pan to turn it into hot peppers.

Captain Frying Pan: Hot peppers? Wait these are ghost peppers...that's way too hot! * To his frying pan* No way am I going to eat this!

The cosmic gem in his frying pan floated itself up and hit him on the head; he looks and sees the poor frozen people.

Captain Frying Pan: You're right! This is no time to bellyache...that will come later!

He chomps down on the ghost peppers. Suddenly his face turned red from the spicy peppers, then his whole body glowed red as then he started screaming!

Captain Frying Pan: OH DEAR LORD THAT'S HOT! HOT-HOT-HOT! VERY HOT! OH SH...!!

He started running around the mall spreading his body heat around melting all the ice helping freeing the trapped people. Everyone was okay, wet from the melted ice but all were fine.

Meecat: Are you all okay?

John: I'm fine!

Casey: That was cold!

Whitnee: Don't mention that word for a while.

Lizzie: Are you two okay?

Cassandra: I'm okay and so is our little Foxy-Woxy!

Kyle: Mom don't call me that in public!

Father Nick: Where is the captain?

Cassie: He's up there! At the Milkshake stand!

They all saw Captain Frying Pan drinking a 50 gallon keg of milk to put out the heat from the magical ghost peppers.

Captain Frying Pan: * Wheezes* Whew! * To his frying pan* Next time you turn something into something super spicy give me a heads up next time!

Wally: That was amazing. You melted and freed everyone and no one got burnt.

Captain Frying Pan: Oh yeah? Wait a little bit my butts will sure be burning any minute...hmm?

He sees footprints made of ice, knowing that they came from Yuki-Onna, he follows them and they led to an empty warehouse.

Captain Frying Pan: Well this place seen better days. Hey Yuki where are you? Come on I just want to talk!

He bumps into a pile of paper where an homeless man popped out shouting...

Homeless man: GET OUT! LEAVE US ALONE!

Captain Frying Pan: Easy dude! I'm just here to find someone.

Homeless man: Everyone here keeps to themselves we don't need your pity or your help!

Suddenly many other homeless people chimed in saying "Yeah!" "Leave us alone!" "Don't bother us!"

Captain Frying Pan: Look I'm trying to help a girl, blue skin, yellow eyes have icicles hanging from her fingertips! Come on it's not something you wouldn't noticed.

Suddenly a homeless goose woman holding two human kids in her arms.

Homeless goose woman: I know her where she stays. Please follow me.

Captain Frying Pan: Wow! A literal mother goose.

The goose woman led Captain Frying Pan to a room that is encased in ice from an ice bed, ice dresser even has an ice picture frame with a picture of Yuki-Onna when she was a younger girl with her sick mom and her stepdad whose face was ripped out of the picture. He picked up the frame but the weak ice fell apart.

Homeless goose woman: She's not a bad child, it's just that she's has problems. Mostly up in her head; please if you find her. Please help her get better, help her find a home! She has a hard life like many of us, she just need people to love her.

Captain Frying Pan: I...I honestly not sure on what to do. But I'll do my best to help her out.

He flew out of the warehouse, not knowing that buried in a pile of snow to hide from him is Yuki-Onna who saw that he has her picture in his hand and it's making her angry.

The next day at Church before the big annual tree-lighting ceremony Captain Frying Pan took the picture to Father Nick, stroking his long white beard and patting his big belly.

Father Nick: Hmm yes I do know her. Sarah Connins, she used to come to our soup kitchen for food and clothes a few years back...before...

Captain Frying Pan: Before what?

Father Nick: She used to stay behind a chemical factory where they make chemicals for fire extinguishers that uses cold ice airs to put out fires for electrical fires but...then it exploded one day and she had vanish.

Captain Frying Pan: If I know my comic book logics I'll bet whatever weird icy chemicals they were working on must have mutated her giving her some serious powers over ice and snow. What else do you know about her?

Father Nick: I'm afraid her story is a sad one; she and her mother moved from Japan after she lost her father to start a new life. Her mother however gotten deadly ill and her stepfather didn't wany anything to do with her. He only married his mother for their money but when that ran out for her mother's health bills he just up and left them and after her mother passed away...she's been on her own.

Captain Frying Pan: The poor kid it's no wonder she look like she's been crying a lot. That has to mess up a kid at her age.

Father Nick: I'm afraid it has. Like many homeless they suffer from some kind of mental illness that affects them from living a normal life.

Captain Frying Pan: How does one become homeless.

Father Nick: Many factors come to play, lost of jobs, sad additions that took over their lives, some form of illness or family trauma. But Captain remember deep down she is still a person who needs help. If you can find her please bring her to us I know some good people who can help her find help and a good home.

Captain Frying Pan: I will...and father...I'm sorry about what I said about the Homeless.

Father Nick: It's okay son. You wouldn't be the first to think that way.

At the tree lighting ceremony all the volunteers from Meecat, Violet, Wally, John, Casey and Whitnee, Cassie, Candice, Rob, Jimmy, Catherine, and Samantha all stood on the platform with the Mayor's wife as she gives a speech before lighting the huge Christmas tree in center of town.

Mayor's wife: I want to thank all of you for coming from far and wide to our fair city. Especially to our volunteers who came from their hometowns to help us out this year with the donations and with the tree lighting ceremony. We are all so bless this holiday season. Whether your human, or a furry, or even some of you might have belong to other faiths like some of you belong to Mohamad, or follow the path of Moses, or visit the Church of our lord Jesus; we must remember that there are those who are not so fortunate like us but which is why our city has this yearly weekly Christmas fest to collect many needful things to help the less fortunate and lighting this tree will symbolize that even in the coldest of darkness we still have the inner light in all of us to guide us out of the dark and into a world of hope and faith for a better tomorrow. Let the tree lighting be...huh?

Suddenly a blast of cold air appear and suddenly ice has formed around the volunteers freezing everyone in place. Captain Frying Pan look around and saw what has happen.

Captain Frying Pan: Uh-oh Elsa back in town.

He was right for Yuki-Onna appeared as she made icy waves of snow and ice to form around her trapping people in blocks of ice.

Yuki-Onna: GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK! IT'S MINE! GIVE IT BACK!

Captain Frying Pan: What the photo? Okay let me...

Yuki-Onna: Give...it...BAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!

In her fury she created a giant ice creature that is ready to destroy the tree and the Captain.

Captain Frying Pan: YIKES! Sarah this is going too far!

Yuki-Onna: S-Sarah? How did you know my name?

Captain Frying Pan: I know some people who wants to help you.

Yuki-Onna: No...no..liar! Liar like Stepdaddy liar just want money liar! LIIIIIIAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!

She made her ice monster to crush Captain Frying Pan with it's giant fists. But the Captain blocked them just in time and made a few pieces of ice into...

Captain Frying Pan: OH NO! NOT THE GHOST PEPPERS AGAIN NO! YOU CAN'T...* Swallows them whole* Here we go again...WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

His body starts heating up from the magical ghost peppers and soon like before he starts running around spreading his body heat around to melt the ice not only freeing the people but also melting the ice monster.

Ice monster: I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING! OH WHAT A WORLD! I'M MELT...TING...! * Turns into a puddle*

After everyone is free from the ice and the monster gone Captain Frying Pan was once again drinking milk to put out the heat from the ghost peppers.

Captain Frying Pan: * Wheezes to his frying pan* I keep telling ya don't ever do that again! WHOA!

Suddenly a rain of icicles appear nearly hitting Captain Frying Pan but he single handedly blocked them even turned one of them into a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.

Captain Frying Pan: STOP SARAH! I'M GIVING YOU BACK YOUR PHOTO! I WANT TO HELP YOU! BELIEVE ME!

Yuki-Onna: NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME! NO ONE WANTS TO CARE ABOUT ME!

Captain Frying Pan: I CARE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!

Yuki-Onna: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING?!

Captain Frying Pan: Because I miss my Mom and Dad around Christmas too.

Sarah AKA Yuki-Onna stopped with her ice powers as she looks up to the Captain as he held the bowl of soup he created.

Captain Frying Pan: Here have a sip it'll calm you down.

Yuki-Onna drank the bowl of soup and suddenly her body started to glow, her blue skin turned back to normal her hair went from blue to natural black, for a long time she felt warm. Soon all of the ice and snow she made from her powers melted away as everyone gather around.

Captain Frying Pan: I know what it's like when your parents died. No matter what age you are, being either a kid or an full grown adult the lost of your parents whom loved you and took care of you still hurts no matter how old you get. * Hands Sarah back her photo* Is that why you've been acting out? Because of seeing everyone with their love ones?

Yuki-Onna: * Crying* Those families; all warm and happy with their friends and family on Christmas. It keeps reminding me of all that I lost and what I wanted. When you're homeless people look past you, like you don't exists.

Captain Frying Pan: Yeah...I've been guilty of doing that.

Yuki-Onna: I thought when I had gain my ice powers things would be better but it never it just made people look at me like a monster. I miss my mom very much...I miss her so much.

Candice: Oh the poor dear!

Catherine: Oh sweetie!

Violet: I forgot how lucky I am that I still have my Mom.

Meecat: As lucky as I am having you for my daughter Violet.

Wally: I think all of us forget that we are more fortunate than others.

John: Yeah which is why I should remember to help out those less fortunate.

Jimmy: No one should feel alone all the time.

Samantha: I think I might be crying myself

Rob: I think I might need a tissue too.

Kyle: Miss Yuki-Onna I know what it was like being an orphan not having a home. Which is why I am so happy that my two moms adopted me and now I have a great family.

Cassandra: Moo oh Kyle.

Lizzie: You are so sweet.

Casey: Kid it's not too late for you to get help.

Whitnee: There are people who want to help, people who care for a child like you.

Captain Frying Pan: Is there any happy moments you had with your Mom?

Yuki-Onna: Just this song that always seems to fit with me....* starts singing* I'll have a blue Christmas without you.
I be so blue just thinking about you.
Decorations of red on our green Christmas tree.
Won't be the same dear if you're not here with me.
And when those blue snowflakes starts falling.
That's when those blue memories starts calling.
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white...
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.

The next day Christmas eve we find Yuki-Onna now back to being Sarah after being cured of her ice powers from Captain Frying Pan. She is in the office of Father Nick with a woman from Child Protective service.

Father Nick: Sarah this is Mrs. Robinson she is going to take you under her care at child service to help provide you with help on your conditions and to find you a loving home.

Sarah: I...I feel so warm. I never felt warm for so long...I...I feel safe now.

Father Nick: I'm glad you feel that way Sarah. We just want to help you and children like you. Thank you Captain Frying Pan.

Before Sarah leaves with Mrs. Robinson; Sarah turn and gave Captain Frying Pan a hug.

Sarah: Thank you.

Captain Frying Pan: You're welcome kiddo and good luck I just want you to have a happy life. * To Father Nick* Hey do you think she'll be all right?

Father Nick: As we say in my line of work you got to have faith.

That night Captain Frying Pan is at his home and sat down on his recliner and put on a Christmas movie. Feeling good that he help made difference in a childs life.

Captain Frying Pan: * Sighs happily* Glad she's getting the help she needed. Too bad I'm still spending the holidays alone but it's not so bad.

Suddenly he heard his doorbell rang.

Captain Frying Pan: Hmm? Now who could that be? Can't be Santa...can it?

He opens the door and suddenly he was greeted by Jimmy, Catherine, Candice, Rob, Samantha, Wally, Casey, Whitnee, John, Meecat, Cassie, Violet, Cassandra, Kyle and Lizzie.

All: MERRY CHRISTMAS CAPTAIN FRYING PAN!

Captain Frying Pan: Hey what are you all doing here?

Casey: Well we're spending Christmas Eve with you.

Samantha: Yeah you've done a lot for us furries more than any human would.

Catherine: Besides * Gives Captain Frying Pan a kiss* this is our way of paying you back.

Captain Frying Pan: B-but why me?

Kyle: Because...you've been alone for too long.

Cassandra: Also we got lots of goodies to share with you and we have a lot for a gathering.

Captain Frying Pan: Gosh folks...I...I don't know what to say oh pardon the mess folks I didn't expect company.

Wally: Well lets get the celebration started.

Cassie: Yeah it's Christmas time.

Lizzie: Where can we set up the punch.

Jimmy: Here's a good spot on the table.

Meecat: Your house is cozy.

Violet: Can someone help me set up the small trees?

John: I'll help.

Rob: I got the stockings hung with care.

Candice: You got a lovely home...hmm...* checks out the dust* Could use a woman's touch but that just me.

Captain Frying Pan: Merry Christmas Mom and Dad. I hope you two are proud of me from way up there. * To his friends* Hey folks who's hungry for some burgers?
