A Goonies Christmas

'Twas a few days before Christmas and all through Astoria, everybody was excited including Chunk, who's Jewish. . .

Snow was gently falling, leaving a white blanket across the town. Mikey peered out his window with glee.
Hoping off his bed he dashed across the room into Brand's side and on top of his.

"Brand, it snowed all night, and it's snowing now! Let's go outside."

Brand groaned turning over onto his back and looked at his brother.
"Mikey it's only eight-o-clock and it's a Saturday."

"And?"

"And, bug off!" Brand said throwing his brother off his bed with his legs.

"Sheesh Brand." Mikey scowled getting up.

He walked back to his side if the room and began to get dressed.

Mikey took the last bite of his pancake and sipped down the rest of his milk.
Brand sat next to him at the table finishing up his plate.
In the living room sat there parents.
Irving Walsh was reading the news paper and drinking his coffee on his recliner.
Irene was on the couch watching a Christmas movie.

Mikey placed his dish in the sink with Brand following and then the two walked into the living room.

"Hey Mom can we go outside and play in the snow?" Mikey asked eagerly.

"Yes sweetheart. . .oh but wait put on your scarf, your puffy jacket, your gloves, and your beanie." She said grabbing the articles of clothing from the coat closet.

"Mom." He whined.

"Mikey stop, you could catch pneumoner."

"It's pneumonia ma." Brand corrected.

"Brandon that's what I said."

"No you didn't dear." Her husband corrected sipping from his cup.

"Oh stop it, Mikey tell them, what did I say?"

After being wrapped up in all his layers from his mother he looked like a puff ball and with the scarf covering his mouth his answer only came out in muffles.

"See, Mikey agrees with me." She said hands on her hips.

"Oh ma he can't even speak." Brand said loosening the scarf.
"Come on Mikey." The two walked to the door.

"Watch your brother Brandon

"Yo Mikey!" Mouth called from the gate. "Wow you look like the Stay Puff guy from ghostbusters haha." He snickered taking in Mikey's outfit.

"Very funny." Mikey snorted walking down the porch.

Next to Mouth was Data in his usual trench coat except it was covered in Christmas lights.

"Wow Data, very festive." Brand complimented taking in coat.

"Thank you Brand, I made it myself."

"I could tell." Brand chipped.

"Hey Guys." Andy and Stef said walking up.

"Hey." The boys greeted.
Andy of course went into Brands arms.

"Where's Chunk?" Stef asked.

"Probably finishing up the Hanukkah leftovers." Mouth chuckled.

"Hey I heard that Mouth!" Chunk huffed walking towards them.

"Was I wrong?"

"Well no, Grandma Yetta makes the best crispy latkes, but that's besides the point."
