Christmas at the Baxter Building always tries to be normal, but rarely achieves that normality. Prepare to see into the lives of the FF on the morning of Christmas day when all the presents get opened.
A Christmas tree stands in the center of the room, the fantastical family gathered around it. Franklin and Valeria are tearing into presents, while Sue and Reed sit on the couch, and Ben and Johnny argue over who's the better uncle.
Johnny: What, so being a blood relative means nothing?
Ben: Well, sure, but I got 'em a PS4, so I may as well be God ta dem!
Johnny: Oh, oh, so games consoles break the binds of family now?
Franklin: If it's a PS4, then yeah!
Johnny: Oh, great, my own flesh and blood decided not to back me up.
Reed: Will you two calm down. Just enjoy Christmas for once.
Ben: I always enjoy Christmas! But dats only 'cause hothead never wins da prizes from da Christmas crackers.
Sue: Well, let him win this year, Ben. I know how much Johnny hates losing.
Johnny: I've got nothin' against losing. Just losing to Ron Perlman over here, that ticks me off!
Ben: What didja jus' call me?
Reed: Why don't you two just sit down and open presents with the kids, huh?> You think you could do that?
The pair reluctantly sink down and proceed to open the presents with the children.
Sue: It's weird, I only remember giving birth twice, but I'm sure we have four children.
Valeria: Oh awesome, hover cars! Can we play with these now, dad?
Reed: Of course, but don't let Uncle Johnny talk you into a race again.
Johnny: Oh c'mon, we only did one lap of New York!
Reed: One lap too many.
Just then, a rumble shakes the building. The family freeze, startled by the quake. It happens again and again. The team suit up and go out onto the balcony for a better look at what's causing the noise. The magnificent form of Galactus lumbers towards them.
Reed: Galactus? What are you doing here?
Galactus: I need your help, Richards. Your planet has developed something that would be of great use to me. I believe you call it, Twitter?
Reed: How would Twitter be useful for you, of all people?
Galactus: Well, I'm tired of having to get word back from Terrax whenever I feel hungry. He could take days before he finds anything. So, I decided I'd just keep tabs on all the planets using social media.
Johnny: Well, our government already does it, don't see why he shouldn't!
Reed: Don't start with your conspiracy theories, Johnny. How would you access it, Galactus?
Galactus: Well, I was hoping you'd gotten an iPad for Christmas. You wouldn't happen to have one would you?
Reed lets out a depressed sigh as he makes his way inside.
Reed: I'll see what I can do... here's me all ready for a big showdown with a giant reindeer...
Valeria and Franklin whizz around Galactus, much to his annoyance. He looks down at Ben, Johnny and Sue.
Galactus: I hate children...
