Liberty Lad was leafing through the newspaper searching for his favorite. Peanuts was by far the most divinely inspired comic strip ever to land on the planet. Today, he saw everybody's favorite beagle with a pair of flight goggles, shaking his fist in the air and shouting "Curse you, Red Baron!"

The comedy of it all made LL clutch his sides and laugh out loud. His body contorted into so many different positions that eventually his chair groaned under the stress and finally collapsed. LL knew he should be in pain, but he just kept laughing anyway.

Man O'War heard the crash and floated into the room to see Liberty Lad rolling on the ground, gasping for breath just so he could laugh harder. MOW saw the comics page on the table and looked it all over, just shrugging his shoulders.

Liberty Lad watched as the old crusty scotsman floated away. "Good Grief. He has less of a sense of humor than Microwave." Just to prove his point to nobody in particular, he commed Microwave with the message to come at once.

The alternate android arrived and after his basic query was pointed towards the comics page. The movement was imperceptible at first, but then Microwave shook slightly and clutched his sides. Soon there were two heroes rolling around on the floor, busting a gut(and or circuits) laughing

"I guess that new programming Mentor installed in you is working, Microwave." Liberty said after catching his breath "Indeed. Unit called Microwave has been retrofitted with programming to recognize ironic, sardonic, sarcastic, and unusual humor." Microwave answered "That's more humor than even Mentor understands. I guess Charlie Brown was right when he said ' Those who can't do, teach" Liberty responded

Their laughing converstion was cut short as Eve and Alchemiss walked by, shouting at each other. "Eve, sweety, it's tradition. You have to have turkey on Thanksgiving. It's not thanksgiving without one." The soutern sorceress said first.

Eve answered "It's inhumane to kill a helpless bird for a few minutes of enjoyment. Give me one other reason why turkeys can be used for this meal"

Microwave butted into the conversation saying "Statistics show that there are many farms in the United States alone used solely for the raising of turkeys for the human celebration called Thanksgiving"

The two women of the Force decided they would each make Thanksgving dinner their own way. This was a special thanksgiving. They would be sharing their dinner with Pinstripe, Deja Vu, and Nuclear Winter. Immediately after the cons would be fed, they would send an entire turkey with all the fixin's through a dimensional portal for Man-bot to enjoy.

Nearly twleve hours later, the Freedom Flyer arrived at Patriot City Prison. Three differents bets were floating around among the team. First, the odds were 5-to-1 that Minuteman would beat Winter at chess. The second bet pertained to who could eat more,Pinstripe or Order? Lastly, whose food was better, judging by the con's opinions. Once the meal was finished, Order won his contest, Alchemiss' southern fried turkey won out over Eve's, and Minuteman beat Nuclear Winter by the skin of his teeth.

As the day ended, Manbot was enjoying his meal, and watching 50 different sunsets. He desperately wished he could share this beauty with his friends.

The power that were heard Manbot's request and the entire Freedom Force was brought to the celestial clock to enjoy the most dazzling sunsets known to man or alien.
