Martin Mazinsky sighed as he glanced out the window of his mom's cobalt-blue minivan. Most of his friends were time-travelling to the future, two of them were on some rainbow adventure, and even though he still had his sister Jenny, Raul, Dib, and Gaz; not to mention his Aunt Lu and Uncle Manny...he also had to put up with Billy, Mandy, and that Irwin kid.

"Refresh me again on why we hafta go to this 'Evergreen' town again? It sounds boring." Martin asked as his mom, dad, aunt, and uncle got into the car.

"Oh, come on, Marty, it's the holidays, loosen up a little, unwind," Mike smiled to her son. "Not to mention I've had a lot of hustle and bustle myself during the holidays when I lived in Manhattan."

Og chuckled. "Yeah. Found that out for myself during my first year living with Mike and her family..." he added.

"Hmm..." Martin paused a bit. "I guess..."

"Do you know anyone in Evergreen, Mom?" Jenny asked.

Mike thought for awhile until she snapped her fingers. "Oh, yeah! There was this kid named Theo Tinkerton that Og and I were friends with for a couple years. Haven't seen him in a while."

"Well, maybe that'll be fun." Jenny smiled, nudging her brother a bit.

"Fine..." Martin sighed. "Still looks like some boring town."

Everyone looked out the window as they were nearly there and soon drove into the town.

"Snow is still so weird," Lu commented. "It's like cold, wet sand."

"Except you can pack it and throw it," Raul added. "So it's kinda also like mud?"

"In a way, I guess you could say that," Manny replied. "I just know it's different for you and Og, Lu."

"It sure is," Lu nodded her head. "Mike and her New York City diseases..."

Mike rolled her eyes at that. Eventually, they came into the town of Evergreen after what seemed like a long while in the car.

"Finally." Mandy muttered.

"Aaand I'm having second thoughts about letting you three come," Martin sighed. "Granted, Nergal Jr is at least the most trustworthy of this... Group."

"Well, too bad," Mandy remarked. "You get what you pay for."

Billy soon ran out and made a snow angel in the ground, but it looked more like a hole than an actual angel.

Martin snorted. "Shows what you know. I didn't pay for this." he retorted.

"Like I said before, that's too bad." Mandy retorted.

Martin sighed. "Good grief..." he muttered.

"Looks like we have some new faces here in Evergreen." An older man smiled as he walked over to see them.

"Um... Hi." Dib waved.

"I know new people when I see it," The man smiled to them. "You look like you could use someone show you around. Looks like little old me will have to do."

"Are you Mister Rogers?!" Billy asked.

"Uh, no, I'm not." The man replied.

"You doofus, he DIED!" Martin replied. "Sorry, Mister. What's your name?"

The man thought. "Well... You can call me Mr. Jacobs."

Billy pouted to what Martin said.

"Well, Mr. Jacobs, it's nice to meet you," Mike replied. "You might not remember me, but I sometimes came to visit here, but now I'm grown up and this is... Well... More or less, my extended family."

"Nice to meet you all." Mr. Jacobs replied with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you too, sir," Manny replied with a small smile back. "You live in this town long?"

"Oh, a pretty good long time," Mr. Jacobs chuckled. "You could say I grew up here."

"Alright, then," Martin shrugged. "Hopefully we see you around."

"You have fun now, this town has some pretty interesting stories." Mr. Jacobs smiled.

"Most towns do," Martin replied as the minivan began to drive away. "Take care, Mr. Jacobs."

"Take care yourselves," Mr. Jacobs smiled. "It sure is nice to see young people."

They soon walked off.

"I kinda like him." Jenny commented.

"He's alright, I guess." Martin replied with a nod.

"So, are we gonna stay at a hotel or what?" Gaz asked. "Traveling for a long time makes me grouchy."

"Well, I was planning to stay with the Tinkertons, but okay," Mike replied. "There's one a couple blocks down."

"Whatever, I just need to get out of this car." Gaz replied.

"Trust me, it's a good idea." Dib said, knowing how his sister got sometimes.

"Alright then." Mike replied as she drove towards the hotel and parked the minivan nearby.

Once they were parked, they soon came out and looked around the town.

It seemed plain and slow compared to other towns, especially New York where Mike originally came from. Martin and the others stepped out of the car and got their bags. A bellhop came to help them out with a smile. Eventually, their bags were inside and they'd gotten a room for the time being. The kids and adults were divided, but they were still close enough together just in case anyone needed anything.

"Feliz Navidad, Raul." Raul said to himself as he settled in.

"Likewise." Martin replied in agreement as he glanced outside.

"Much better..." Gaz said as she started to calm down now.

And so, the next day the sun rose over Evergreen and a new day had begun. No one was more excited over this fact than the family patriarch of the Tinkerton family.

"Way to shine, big guy!" The man smiled to the sun as he got ready for a brand new day. "Way to play for the rules."

Martin and the other kids, meanwhile, had gotten up and were getting dressed in winter clothes.

"Is it me or is everything neat and tidy in this town?" Jenny commented.

"It's not just you," Martin replied. "Still, at least it's not Endsville."

"I think that's the Mayor." Nergal Jr commented about the man who was going about town with a clipboard.

"That guy's pretty cheerful, that's for sure." Dib nodded.

"Hello there, kids!" The man smiled to them with a bright and cheerful smile.

"Good morning, sir." Martin waved.

"Good day, kiddo, sure is another great day in Evergreen." The Mayor smiled brightly.

"Yeah, I suppose it is." Martin replied.

"Ah, look at those streets, you could just eat off them." The Mayor grinned.

Billy soon licked the sidewalk while Mandy face-palmed at him.

"Please don't do that." Martin sighed.

"But he said!" Billy replied.

"Stop." Jenny said.

"Uh... Okay." Billy then stopped himself.

Martin and Nergal Jr shook their heads.

"Anyway... Welcome to Evergreen... I'm sure you kids will have lots of fun, provided that your parents allow you to." The Mayor smiled as he hugged his clipboard.

"Okay... Thanks." Martin replied.

The Mayor patted them each on the head walked off. Gaz let out a low growl about being touched.

"Where are the kids?" Dib asked.

"Beats the snot out of me." Gaz replied.

They then saw a bunch of kids walking in a straight line towards the school.

"Question asked, question answered." Irwin pointed out.

"Well, LJ and I don't go to school." Zofia said.

"But in this crossover, you DO!" Billy smiled.

"Ah, no. You do," LJ stated. "We're not in this story! Good luck, though. We got an adventure to get back to, and same for you."

"So, hi, bye." Zofia said before leaving with her brother.

"Darn portals from the fourth wall," Mandy huffed. "I blame their father being an inter-dimensional imp."

"Eh, whatever," Martin remarked. "Like you said, you get what you pay for."

"Come on, guys, we're going to school today." Mandy said.

"But I haven't done my homework yet!" Billy cried out in misfortune.

"How would that be any different from how you usually are?" Martin retorted.

They soon went to get in line with the other school kids.

Two boys kissed their mother's cheek as they went to join in on the line and they were shown to be the children of the Mayor. Martin glanced over at a brown-haired girl with earmuffs.

"EYES FORWARD! Get the lead out!" The boy up front called out as the kids walked like marching soldiers on the way to school.

Martin yelped before turning back. "I got'cher lead... Right here..." he muttered.

"What are you talking about, kid?!" The boy in front glared before he soon yelped and slipped on a puddle on the sidewalk before falling back as he and the other kids fell like dominoes against a mail slot.

The box then fell in the middle of the road and a guy driving in his car gasped once he saw that before swerving around and hit a fire hydrant.

"Is Milo Murphy around?" Mandy deadpanned.

"Eh... Nope." Martin noted.

The fire hydrant soon gushed out water, splashing a woman and her dog and another man ended up in her mailbox. The kids soon yelped and slid across the streets from the water, spinning around from a lamp post while holding hands and landed right in front of their school. The blonde boy rubbed his head, looking up to a statue of his father before seeing a black hat blow in the wind before landing on the head of the statue.

"No way..." Martin gasped.

"Tommy, get over here!" A voice called out as the blonde boy was out of line. "Keep it moving, people!"

The boy soon went back in line and went to his fellow students. The hat seemed to follow them as they went back down the streets.

"Whoa... Freaky magic hat!" Martin gasped.

"Can't be anything stranger than what Mom's seen in her time." Jenny replied to her brother.

"Yeah... Good point," Martin replied. "But definitely worth investigating."

"Well... All right." Jenny admitted that was a good point.

The two nodded at each other as they saw it land on the flagpole. The principal of the school tapped his foot impatiently which startled Tommy and he ran inside with his classmates.

"That hat, Principal Pankley! I think it's following me!" Tommy told the man, pointing to the flagpole, but the hat seemed to be gone now.

"Do I look like a baby?" The principal replied.

"Uh... No." Tommy replied.

"Well, if you were a little more bald..." Martin started.

"Is it my bedtime?" Principal Plankley then asked.

"No?" Tommy replied.

"Then why are you telling me stories?!" Principal Plankley glared. "GET INSIDE!"

Tommy yelped and ran inside.

"Crikey... What a grouch..." Martin muttered under his breath.
