It was near the holiday season. Folks in the metropolitan area were ready for Christmas. At Joey's penthouse, the boys were decorating for Christmas.
"This is gonna be a cool yule!" said Matt decorating the tree.
"I hope we don't have to fight crime this time of year." hoped Joey.
"But we still have to wear our outfits for the Christmas Parade & our benefit concert @ Northeast Central Mall." reminded Andy.
Now a super hero story wouldn't be complete without villains.
Meet The 3 Scrooges; Noel, Louie & Hurley. These knuckleheads would steal Christmas just like the Grinch. We find the Scrooges driving an ice cream truck playing "Listen To The Mockingbird". They approached a ritzy house as Noel said,
"Here's the place, morons. We'll decorate Miss Ritz's tree, then we'll rob them. They'll be paupers!"
"She be a maumer, not a pauper!" exclaimed Louie.
"Speak for yourself!" said Noel poking Louie in the eyes,
"Remember, act casual & don't be an imbecile!"
"Not me," proclaimed Hurley, "I'm an intelligent imbecile!" Noel slaps him.
They approached the door as the butler answered it & said,
"Noel, Louie & Hurley, professional Christmas tree decorators."
Miss Ritz came & said in a sophisticated voice,
"I'll pay you $100 for a fine job!" as they ran into the house.
Moments later, we find Louie putting unusual food to decorate the tree with as Noel asked,
"What's the idea putting fast food on a pretty tree, porcupine?"
"You never heard of (singing) 5 onion rings!" proclaimed Louie as Noel grabbed a plate & smashed it over Louie's head! Miss Ritz was furious!
"That was a $50 plate from Lazy's you broke!"
"Looked like a $5 Q-Mart plate to me." quipped Noel as Miss Ritz slapped Noel! Louie laughed @ his misfortune & Noel tore part of his hair off!
Noel was checking the lights when Hurley saw the lights were unplugged. So he plugged the lights in the socket & Noel got electrocuted! When Hurley saw Noel, he laughed caused his hair stood up.
"You look like Don King!" he said. Then Noel grabbed Hurley & socket to him getting him all shocked up! Bad Laugh-In pun.
Hours later, the job was done. But Miss Ritz wasn't pleased.
"Your work is atrocious!" she said holding up head up.
"You soitainly have a good vocabulary!" said Hurley as Noel punched him in the stomach & conked him on the head!
"I refuse to pay you!" she said as Noel took out his gun.
"Stick 'em up!" ordered Noel, "Hand over the money, jewelry & presents!"
Louie & Hurley started taking Christmas away as Noel held Miss Ritz @ gunpoint. Just then, the maid came downstairs. When she saw Miss Ritz being held with a gun, she screamed ala Laura Winslow! That triggered Hurley's behavior! First he panted like a dog, then started doing his "Prize Is Priced" saying, "Whoop, Whoop, WHOOP!", threw himself on the floor, ran around in circles screaming,
"Woo woo woo woo woo! Noel, Louie, the peas! Noel, Louie, the peas!"
"Why is he insane?" asked Miss Ritz.
"He gets that way", explained Noel, "He's got game show-idas.
Louie, feed puddinhead a can of peas!"
Hurley finally calmed down when Louie fed him a can of peas.
Then they made thier getaway!
To explain Hurley's wacky behavior, we must go back to the year 1983. Hurley liked game shows too well that his one weakness, hyperactive female contestants. One day, he went nuts! Had "Family Squabble" on ABC as 5 ladies won & kissed Ricky Larson. Switched to CBS & found a Samoan picking up Marvin Parker on "The Prize Is Priced" after winning $10,000 on The Punch Bowl. Switched to syndication to see a fat woman strutting around the stage parading her $25,000 check she won on "The New Treasure Chest". Switched to NBC as the 12th female contestant in a row started & won the car on "We Hate Men!".
Hostesses J.P. White & Betty Morgan were thrilled to award each lucky lady $100,000 for that feat (just like the PBA awards $100,000 for bowling a 300 game on TV!). Hurley was surrounded, he threw a hissy fit, breaking dishes & the television! Noel & Louie spanked him good & it was also his birthday! Back to the present!
Back @ the penthouse, the boys were wearing suit & ties. They were ready to go to Lazy's Department Store @ NE Central Mall to take a family portrait until the SC phone rang.
"Not near Christmas!" they groaned as they answered the phone.
"Merry Christmas boys." said the sarge, "Sorry to be a Scrooge, please report to the station."
The following scene will cause fans to scream as the boys stood an action pose!
Joey ripped open his suit & tie saying, "Super Cool Joe!"
Matt did the same, "Super Cool Matt!"
And Andy, "Super Cool Andy!"
They had their super hero outfits under their suit & ties.
"TIME TO FIGHT CRIME!"
The Super Cool Brothers speeded on their motorcycles headed to the police station. When they reached the station, Bethany grabbed SC Matt & kissed him underneath the mistletoe.
"I just love mistletoe!" said Bethany.
"Move to Oklahoma, that's their state flower!" educated SC Joe.
"Bethany!" said her father, "I need SC Matt now! You can kiss him later in the fanfic!"
The boys met with the sarge in his office.
"Are The Serpents causing trouble again?" asked SC Joe.
"Boys," he said, "We have a crime spree caused by the notorious 3 Scrooges!"
SC Andy laughed his head off! "They're a victim of circumstance!"
The sarge explained, "Those intelligent imbeciles rob people's Christmas taking gifts, trees & valuables. Who knows where they'll strike next?"
A policeman entered the office saying,
"Sarge, your coat is pressed for the Mayor's Christmas Party!"
"That's it!" said SC Matt, "You'll find the Scrooges there!"
So the boys left the office & headed to the motorcycles. They find Bethany sitting on SC Matt's motorcycle.
"Hey! She's not part of the team!" said SC Joe.
"I wanna help you guys. SC Matt told me I could be his Batgirl!"
she said holding SC Matt tightly as they drove off.
So the trio, I mean quartet, headed to the Mayor's house.

That night @ the Mayor's house, every important person was there.
All the hoi polloi enjoyed the fine food, pastries, champagne & Christmas music provided by a jazz band. And where were the 3 Scrooges, disguised as waiters.
"This place reminds me of the reformed school!" said Louie, looking @ the Mayor's beautiful house.
"OK you featherbrain imbeciles." said Noel, "Once the Mayor opens his Christmas gift from the Governor, we'll rob them!"
"Were such mean ones, Mr. Grinch!" sang Hurley as Noel grabbed Hurley by the ear & dragged him!
At the peak of the party, the Mayor opened his Christmas present from the Governor, a fruitcake! The Mayor sliced the fruitcake up & Hurley grabbed his slice.
"Don't mind if I do! Being from Corsicana, I'm sort of a fruitcake myself!" exclaimed Hurley, eating the fruitcake!
"Who let you riff-raffs in my house?" asked the Mayor.
Noel pulled a gun & yelled,
"Nobody move!" as Louie & Hurley took Christmas away from the Mayor.
"You're plans are bah humbug!" exclaimed SC Joe as the SC Bros. & Bethany entered.
"More riff-raffs!" said the Mayor!
"No dear, that's our super heroes!" said the Mayor's wife.
Then Louie grabbed a pie & threw it @ SC Joe's face!
"I'm going to love this scene!" exclaimed SC Andy.
The SC Bros. & Bethany battled the 3 Scrooges in a pie fight!
Everybody got clobbered, the heroes, Bethany, the Scrooges, the Mayor & his wife, the guests & even the jazz band. When they ran out of pies, Bethany conked each Scrooge with a baseball bat! Her daddy & the cops arrested the Scrooges & the charges; breaking & entering, stealing Christmas & starting a pie fight without a license!
We find Joey, Matt & Andy @ Lazy's photo shop having their portrait made in suit & ties. When they got through, they took an empty elevator. When it closed, our boys pulled off their suits to be the SC Bros. Then they rushed to the center of NE Central Mall to do a benefit concert, performing Christmas music.
As a treat, each hero sang by himself twice & played a 2nd instrument. These changes are indicated on the song listed, otherwise they played their normal instruments (*SC Andy plays drums with brushes) & sang in unison. Here's how the concert went;

Ship gag!

That Christmas Eve, the Christmas parade was held downtown.
Behing The 12 Days of Christmas float were the SC Bros. cruisin on their motorcycles, waving to the crowd. When they finished the parade route, SC Matt speeded down the road.
"Where's he going?" asked SC Andy as they both realised, "Bethany!"
SC Matt arrived @ the police station & found Bethany @ the snack bar. He gave her a gift.
"Merry Christmas, Bethany!" said SC Matt.
Bethany opened her gift & found a ladies' watch!
"You're so thoughtful!" she said kissing him, then she put the watch on, "Look what Daddy got me, you'll freak!"
She showed him an action figure set of Super Cool Matt, his motorcycle & his Strat guitar. Super Cool Joe & Super Cool Andy figure sets sold sepreately!
"Why have an action figure when you can have the real thing!"
said SC Matt as they kissed under the mistletoe, hearing Santa's sleigh passing by.
Christmas Day finds the boys opening gifts. Santa left them a frame portrait from Lazy's, Joey got a Nell Carter CD, Matt got a computer game & Andy got all 3 action figures of The Super Cool Brothers. The doorbell rang playing "Jingle Bells" as Matt answered it.
"Bethany!"
"Merry Christmas, boys!" she said entering, "I had to come by & give my super heroes something. I forgot to give Matt his Christmas present."
"I wonder why?" whispered Andy to Joe.
The boys opened her gifts. Joe got a case of guitar strings + $100, Andy got a pizza coupon book from Bitando's (with a free pizza) & Matt got a handsome man's ring!
"Super Cool Matt, will you marry me?" asked Bethany.
As Matt was about to answer, the announcer interrupted,
"WILL MATT TURN THE CRIMEFIGHTING TRIO INTO A QUARTET? WILL BETHANY BECOME HIS BATGIRL? WHAT WOULD HER COSTUME LOOK LIKE & WOULD SHE DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE? CAN SHE SING & WHAT MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CAN SHE PLAY? FOR THESE QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED, CLICK ON TO THE NEXT SUPER COOL BROTHERS FANFIC! SAME MATT-TI..."
"Hey!" complained Joey & Andy.
"I beg your pardon, SAME ANDY, JOEY & MATT-TIME, SAME ANDY, JOEY & MATT-WEBSITE!"
