Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends: It's a Bloo Christmas

It's a Bloo Christmas (promoted as "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends: It's a Bloo Christmas") is a "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" reunion special released on Cartoon Network. The story is roughly based on "It's a Wonderful Life".

CONCEPTUAL PLOT
A Christmas pageant is held at Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Mac even arrives to exchange his gift, with Mr. Herriman instructing him to put it under the colossal Christmas tree. Some imaginary friends place presents in there as well, others sing Christmas carols from hallway to hallway. It seems that this is one Christmas Foster's will never forget, that is, until Bloo shows up with some idea to make the party stand out more. Unfortunately, the pageant is ruined and the power would go out. Everyone is angry with Bloo. Sure, they can put up with his naughty little antics, but even if Bloo wasn't being naughty this time, this has to be the worst thing he ever did. Worst of all, Mac disowns Bloo and wishes he wasn't imagine him.

With Bloo's feelings now hurt by Mac, especially what he just said, Bloo decides to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, and landing in the icy waters down below. However, a brand new imaginary friend stops him and shows Bloo what Mac's life will be like if Mac didn't imagine him. So, Bloo holds the new imaginary friend's hand and they fly into an alternate universe. Sure, not much has changed, but unfortunately, Foster's went out of business and shut down. Bloo tries to ask Eduardo, Coco, and Wilt if they recognize him, but they don't. Even when exploring the rest of this alternate universe, nobody is how they should be. For instance, Mr. Herriman doesn't have his usual British accent and acts as he was in "Let Your Hare Down" as Harry. Madame Foster is dead, while Frankie is the strict and uptight one instead of Mr. Herriman, albeit without the British accent.

Then Bloo would run into Terence, who in this world is cowardly and nice instead of mean and nasty. Bloo is both happy and worried at the same time. When he asks Terence about Mac, he tells him that he lives in juvie. In fact, Mac happens to be a crime boss after having nobody to turn to for love and support. Terence even admits that this is all his fault. At first, Bloo doesn't believe him, but eventually is convinced. Bloo and Terence decide to form a truce and assemble Eduardo, Coco, Wilt, and whichever other remaining imaginary friends they can find, in order to get into juvie and meet Mac.

Bloo explains to the police chief who he is, and brings up Mac. And while he lets Bloo in, he warns him about the "Most Wanted Child" they have behind bars. As soon as they get in, Mac tells his cellmates celebrate his accomplishment of destroying Foster's Home, then proceeds to tell them his plan regarding a robbery, until Bloo and the gang suddenly barge in unannounced. Mac is of course angry that there are intruders in his cell, and Bloo tries to explain to Mac who he is, and brings up memories the two had from episodes of "Fosters' Home for Imaginary Friends". After hearing that speech, Mac seems to be impressed by what Bloo said, but Mac suddenly announces that he never saw Bloo at all. Bloo feels heartbroken for going through all that effort, only to get nothing in return.

Just then, Mac orders his henchmen to attack, just as the police break in. Mac escapes, and Bloo, Terence, the police, and the imaginary friends chase after him and his gang. Bloo realizes this is all his fault for letting Mac get away, and tries to ask his new friend to take him back home, only to realize he's/she's not there. The police, however, would tell Bloo that is was very brave of him to talked to the "Most Wanted Child", and Frankie feels sorry for Mac rejecting and denying his friendship. Everyone else would encourage Bloo that they still have a chance to catch Mac and set things right.

As they do, Mac sends his henchmen out to attack Bloo, who runs away, trying to avoid their gunfire. Bloo suddenly winds up on the edge of that same bridge he stood on at the beginning. Seeing that he has no choice, all that Bloo can do is pray that his new friend will come back and take him home. He pleads that he learned a lesson, and will support it for as long as he lives. With Mac's minions getting closer, Bloo decides to just close his eyes and jump off the bridge screaming to his death. They make it, but when they see Bloo falling to his death, they realize he ain't worth it and walk away, only to be caught by Terence and the police. The other imaginary friends mourn that Bloo had to commit suicide to save himself from their clutches.

We then cut to Bloo still screaming as he falls, little does he know that the screen behind him fades to his original dimension. And Bloo opens his eyes when he sees he's falling from the night sky. Bloo perfectly falls through the chimney of Foster's Home, and lands all covered in soot. He sees that Foster's Home hasn't been destroyed, which means that Bloo is finally back home where he belongs! But it's empty. When he tries calling out names, and going into the rooms, nothing. Bloo starts to cry, feeling like everyone abandoned him. Cheese, however, notices Bloo crying and shouts outside that Bloo is back.

Everyone comes back inside, and are happy to see that Bloo is still alive. But it doesn't explain how the entire pageant was magically fixed during his absence. Bloo's new friend flies in and explains why he/she wasn't there for him when he needed his/her help. He/She did however hear Bloo's prayer and used his/her magic to send Bloo back as he jumped off the bridge. He/She was in the present fixing up the party at Foster's. And then later, after sending Bloo out of the alternate universe, he/she spoke to the search party about Bloo.

Mr. Herriman even notices the soot trail and scolds Bloo, but Bloo says he'll take care of it himself, which surprises him, and ultimately, everyone else. While cleaning, Bloo explained that he was in an alternate universe, and everyone else was there as someone else. Then, Mac comes in from the crowd, only for Bloo to get scared. Mac asks why he's afraid, and Bloo explains that he's a crime lord who wants to kill him for ruining his heist. Mac is confused, but Bloo explains he was in an alternate universe, where Mac was a most wanted juvenile delinquent. Even when Mac thinks Bloo is making this up, the new imaginary friend confirms that what Bloo is saying is the truth, and shows him a portal with the last of the remains of this alternate universe where Mac didn't imagine Bloo, and is horrified of his alternate self, making him regret disowning Bloo, which was exactly why he wanted to apologize to Bloo.

Mac also apologizes for forgetting that Bloo is the reason why he has a great life so far. And, after a bit of apologizing, Mac and Bloo are friends again, and everyone realizes that that's what Christmas is really about. It's not about the presents, or the tree, or the mistletoe (even though Frankie does give Mac a little smooch on the cheek) or even the Christmas carols. Friends and family is what the Holidays are about. And then, the owner of the new imaginary friend comes in to adopt him/her free of charge since it's Christmas.

TRIVIA

 * For this special, Bloo is not a straight up jerk. Instead, he's more misunderstood.
 * In the universe where Mac didn't imagine Bloo, most of the characters, with the exceptions of Bloo and Coco have changed.
 * MAC = In this timeline, Mac is evil due to Terence's constant bullying. One day, Mac got back at Terence, and became the bully. Soon enough, he was sent to juvie where he became the "Most Wanted Child".
 * TERENCE = Mac's abusive brother who became too cowardly to fight back after Mac became a juvenile delinquent.
 * EDUARDO = Instead of crying easily, despite his enormous strength, Ed is brave as a lion, never cries, but is more ferocious. He still has a good heart.
 * WILT = He has both arms and his left eye isn't crooked no more. He went to the hospital to get them all fixed. Instead of letting people walk all over him, he is assertive in this alternate timeline.
 * FRANKIE FOSTER = Frankie in this alternate timeline is strict, uptight, and not as nice as her actual counterpart, but deep down as a hidden heart of gold. She's basically the Mr. Herriman of this alternate universe, but without the British accent.
 * MR. HERRIMAN = He's a chill, laid-back, lazy bum who wants to do nothing but fun. His behavior in this alternate universe is the same the real Mr. Herriman as he was depicted in "Let Your Hare Down".
 * This will very likely be the darkest episode/special of "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends".
