Little Brother, Big Trouble: A Christmas Adventure Page #4

I'll stay out of your way.

Well, if it's what he wants...

Okay guys. Pre-Christmas takeoff

checklist:
Right rudder. - Check!

- Left rudder.

- Check!

Air pressure.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Alright, final practice before C-day.

Look, there they are!

Now be brave, Lenni. You go give

Prancer a piece of your mind.

It's been nice knowing you Lenni,

gotta go!

Boys, I need to check this out.

Two minutes, Prancer!

Oona! What are you doing up here?

- The name's Lenni -

and you've got some

explaining to do. - I do?

This could get a little rough. You

might want to leave this to the men.

I'm not going anywhere.

We know they're here with you.

What are we talking about? - Now

don't you act the innocent with me.

You know very well

what we're talking about.

- I do?

- Yes, you do.

Do you have something in your

eye? - What's going on, Lenni?

Factory alarm!

- We'd better take a look.

Sorry, but I really have to go.

What's going on? - There won't

be enough toys for Christmas.

Come on, let's check it out.

Those are Mom's tracks!

- And those are Dad's!

Listen, Jonni. About the eagles and

stuff... - Hold on there, young man!

Your mother thinks

you've both been at Santa's Fell.

It's time she knew what happened.

- But why? Everything's fine now!

If she finds out Jonni was kidnapped,

she won't trust me anymore.

I'll never be allowed

go to Santa's Fell.

I'm sorry Niko, but she's your mother

and she needs to know the truth.

I'll be grounded for life.

Don't worry. I'm sure

Niko will do the right thing.

Where are you going?

- Well, I'm going home.

Now that the boys are safe, they

don't need Old Tobias any more.

You can't leave

without saying goodbye.

It's better this way. Besides, he'll

soon forget about me. He'll be fine.

Dad! - Jonni! Are you all right?

I was so worried about you boys!

I'm fine, Dad.

- Where have you been hiding?

Well, you see, what happened was...

We went to Santa's Fell.

It was so much fun!

How many times have I told you? You

can't go off when you feel like it.

Niko, wasn't there something else you

wanted to say to your mother? - Yes.

I won't do it again. Promise.

- Well, alright then.

At least you and Jonni are safe.

Lenni? You look like you

have something to say. - Yes.

Looks like there's a storm brewing.

Let's go while the weather holds.

I don't know why I bother!

- Come on, Julius, let's go home.

Where's Tobias?

- Tobias said he had to go, Niko.

He didn't even say goodbye. I guess

he really doesn't need anybody else.

Someone must have

shut down the factory.

I don't like this.

Hey, what is this?

Let us outta here!

Not flying so high now, are we?

I just wanted to say thanks, but

I don't think you should have lied.

I never lied before.

It was easier than I thought.

But somehow it makes

me feel kind of bad.

So what are you two boys

whispering about? - Nothing.

It makes me so happy to see

you two getting along so well.

I know what you and your Dad

mean by a happy heart.

I just knew you would be

a good big brother to Jonni.

When we went out

to play hide and seek -

I left Jonni on his own

and the eagles took him. - What?

I knew you'd tell the truth.

- Julius! You knew?

I tried to tell you but Wilma...

- Hey, don't look at me.

I thought we should say

something, but Lenni...

I wanted to tell you.

But I didn't want to worry you -

because... well, you know why.

- You were all lying to me?

- No!

- Yes.

- Yes.

Yes.

Lenni, I thought you were different.

Come on, Niko.

We're going home... alone.

We won! It's true! We won! It's true!

I don't know you, but

nobody crosses the Flying Forces -

and gets away with it!

- Really? Are you sure about that?

Now all we're missing is

the guest of honor... little Niko.

I'd bet he'd come running

if he knew his father was in trouble.

Leave Niko alone!

It's a harness.

They've got the Flying Forces.

I've got to go. I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry about everything.

Don't! No! Niko, come back!

I know somebody who can help us.

- You read my mind.

You weren't thinking of going

in there on your own, were you?

Am I glad to see you guys!

But why would you bring Jonni here?

The kid brought me here.

I hate to break up the happy reunion,

but take a look.

The Flying Forces must be trapped

inside. We have to get in there.

We'll never get past those eagles.

- I could help.

It's too dangerous. Hide in the

woods until all this is over. - But...

What if I act as a decoy?

While the eagles are chasing me -

you could get inside the

toy factory. - Let's stick together...

I don't see nothing.

- He'll be here soon, trust me.

What did I tell you?

Good guys are just so predictable.

Where are they going? - The question

is:
what are we waiting for?

This feels too easy.

No! Jonni!

Look! Down there.

- My nose itches.

Hey! That's my nose! - You set them

free and I'll start up the factory.

Niko's got nowhere to hide.

Looking for me? Well here I am.

Not a moment too soon, Niko!

You'll have to catch me first.

So this is what the Flying Forces

look like nowadays, is it?

Isn't that...

- Tobias, a living legend! A hero!

What are you doing here? - What

else would a hero be doing here?

I'm saving the day. Oops.

Help!

- Do something, anything!

- Oh dear.

- Not that!

- Well how about this?

The factory!

Get back to the factory!

Useless feather balls!

Come get me!

- Come on!

- Help us!

Come on guys, I gave you the

easy job. - Push! No, wait... pull!

We're running out of time!

- Hey guys, it's Wilma.

- Hi, fellas.

That looks a little easier.

Help!

Let him go!

Jump, Jonni! I'll catch you.

Trust me.

That tickles!

Jonni!

Jonni!

Jonni! Are you okay? Jonni?

Please, wake up.

Jonni! You're alright!

I've felt better.

So you wanna play hide-and-seek?

Come on!

- You'll be faster without me.

I'm never letting you

out of my sight again. Look out!

Niko!

I'm not sure how much longer I can

keep this up. - You're a hero.

Time to ruffle some feathers!

Let's get outta here!

- I've missed this.

I'm sorry, wasn't I making

it easy enough for you?

- Niko!

- Jonni, look out!

No!

Badly wrapped,

but the perfect gift.

I've waited a long time

for this moment.

Hey Wolfie!

Jonni! No! - It seems in all

the excitement I forgot my starter.

Jonni!

What are you doing here? - Just

making the odds a little more even.

Happy Christmas to me!

Let go! - Nice work.

You know how to open that thing too?

I think so.

- Great! I'll let you know when.

Let me go you little runt!

- Gladly.

Now!

- You'll regret this!

- Allow me.

Not quite.

Retreat! Retreat!

- Retreat? What does that mean?

I don't know but

I'm not waiting around to find out!

Take that, you nasty eagles.

All right boys,

that ought to do it!

We're reindeer we're not horses!

We're Santa's Flying Forces! Ho-ho!

Time to get going, boys.

And to think,

some people call this "the holidays".

It's OK,

you can come a little closer.
