Dan: The End! As soon as Dan finished reading, he closed the book. Everyone was in awe. Steven: Wow! Great story Dan! Pearl: Yes indeed! Excellent moral! Amethyst: My favorite character was the Ghost of Christmas Present! She's my kind of guy! Garnet: I knew the story would have a happy ending. Dan: Thank you. Everyone. Dan turns to Andy who was most impressed. Dan: So what do you think, Andy? Andy: Well.... Andy pondered for a minute and then smiled. Andy: I gotta admit, I was wrong about Christmas. I guess it is not waste of time after all. Thanks for reading that story, Dan. Dan: You're most welcome. Then, Lapis noticed the someone's missing. Lapis: Hey. Where's Peridot and Pumpkin? Garnet: They're hiding under Steven's blankets. Garnet pointed to Steven's bed. And there was Peridot and Pumpkin, shivering under the blankets as if they had seen a ghost. Peridot: I-I-I-Is it over!? Pumpkin: *Whimpers* Steven: Yes it is. What's wrong? Peridot: WHAT HAPPENED TO SCROOGE!? DID

As the smoke clears, Scrooge was struggling inside his bed curtains he had torn down while falling out of bed. Scrooge (Andy): Spirit! Let me out! LET ME OUT! All of a sudden, Scrooge heard a familiar noise. It was the church bell tolling the hour. He finally got out of the curtains to see where he is now. He was back in his old room. A smile emerged and tears welled up from Scrooge's mouth and eyes respectively. Scrooge (Andy): I.... I..... I'm alive.... I'm home!! Yes, the room was his own, the bed was his own, the floor was his own! But what made Scrooge happiest the most, was that his life lay ahead of him, and that it could be changed. He was so happy, that he began to dance. Scrooge (Andy): Ha ha ha! I'm still here! Oh, don't know what to do! Why, I'm light as a feather and merry as a school boy! Ha ha ha ha ha! I will live my life in the past, present and future and live with Christmas in my heart, By God I will! He opened the window, and took a deep breath. The morning

As Scrooge shivered in the abandoned church, a thick fog came inside, obscuring his vision. He started to feel more scared than ever. In the fog, Scrooge could see shadowy shapes of Ignorance and Want. He was now worried that they might attacked him again, but they didn't. Instead, the shadowy shapes started to combine into one figure. After the two shadows fused, a female figure emerged from the fog (Garnet). She has a cube-shaped afro, futuristic shades that cover her eyes, and a huge black cloak covering her almost entirely. Scrooge stared in fear at the figure. She was as tall as him, and dark as midnight. Scrooge (Andy): A-a-a-a-are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come? Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come/Future (Garnet): ..............Yes. The ghost's response was short, but blunt. Scrooge (Andy): You're about to show me shadows of the things that have not happened but will happen. Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come/Future (Garnet): ...............*nods* Scrooge (Andy): Spirit...

The spirit had taken Scrooge to an old run down district of the city. They stopped in front of one of the houses which would prove to be very significant. Scrooge raised an eyebrow when he looked at the poorly built house in front of them, Scrooge (Andy): Hey, why did you bring me to this old shack? Ghost of Christmas Present (Amethyst): It's Christmas here too, you know. And this old shack is the home of your overworked, underpaid employee, Bob Cratchit. Perhaps it was the spirit's own generous nature and her sympathy for all poor humans that led them straight to the home of Scrooge's faithful clerk. Scrooge (Andy): This is Bob Cratchit's house? Ghost of Christmas Present (Amethyst): Well, Duh... Scrooge and the ghost looked through the window and saw a man with blond hair, dressed in cheap, but fair clothes, working over a stove. This was none other than Bob's husband, Emil Cratchit (Dan Creedon, my OC). Scrooge (Andy): Hey, who's that? Ghost of Christmas Present (Amethyst):

Scrooge opened his eyes, and saw that he was now back in his bedroom. He looked down solemnly remembering the visions that the Ghost of Christmas Past shown him. Scrooge (Andy): Oh, why was I so foolish? Why? Why? He then remembered what the ghost told him. "Expect the next ghost to visit you upon the stroke of two." He looked at the clock, and it had indeed struck two. He knew that the next ghost was due to arrive, but as the clock finished dinging, no ghost appeared Scrooge (Andy): Hmm. Nothing. Guess it was all a dream then.... But he was wrong. All of a sudden, a group of colored bright lights come from inside the room outside his bedroom. He then heard a merry laughter. It sounded like a rambunctious teenage girl. Voice: Hahahahaha! Yo Scroogy! Come in! Come in, and know me better, man! Scrooge then smelled something delicious coming from that room. With plucked up courage, He then walked into the room where the smell and laughter came from. In that room, there was a lot of

Scrooge was fast asleep in his bed, but not for long. There was a dinging sound. Scrooge slowly opened his eyes to see that the bell had indeed tolled one. He expected the first spirit to appear, as what Jacob Marley's ghost had foretold. He waited, but no ghost appeared. Scrooge (Andy): Heh! No ghost! What a relief... But he spoke too soon as a bright light suddenly flooded the entire room! Scrooge (Andy): GAAAH! MY EYES!! He covered his eyes, protecting them from the blinding light. When the light dimmed down, Scrooge open his eyes and looked through his bed curtains to see where the light was coming from. The light was shining from a gemstone embedded on the forehead of a feminine-looking spirit (Pearl) who was floating in front of Scrooge's bed. The spirit had a slender build, ivory skin, light cyan eyes, light peach hair, and a pointed nose. She was wearing an ethereal white dress and a golden laurel crown. Scrooge (Andy): Uh... Are you the spirit whose coming was foretold

Night came. A few people were walking down the streets, and many had started their last minute preparations for the joyous day that is coming tomorrow. Back in the counting house, Bob was rubbing his hands together to warm them up a bit. He was so cold, but his spirit warmed up when he saw the large grandfather clock at the back had strike seven. He got down from his seat, and started walking towards the door. Bob was happy that his long miserable work hours were over, but he was even more happy that he would soon be returning to the comforts his beloved family. But Scrooge had other ideas. Scrooge (Andy): I expect you to be here tomorrow at 8 o' clock, sharp! Bob (Greg): But... tomorrow is Christmas, sir. Scrooge (Andy): 8:30 then. Bob (Greg): But sir, I was really hoping that you would.... um... Scrooge (Andy): "Um", what!? Bob (Greg): Give me the whole day off, Mr. Scrooge? Scrooge (Andy): A WHOLE DAY?! Why the very idea! Why should I let you have the day off? Bob (Greg):

It was Christmas Eve in England. The city folk were getting ready for the big day. Boys were selling roasted chestnuts, carolers were singing, and turkeys were being cooked. Everyone was happy. Except for one man, Ebenezer Scrooge (Andy Demayo). He's an old, grouchy, greedy, and selfish miser who dislikes Christmas, a lot. Whenever the topic of Christmas would come up, he would say: Scrooge (Andy): Bah! Humbug! Now Scrooge runs a crooked money-lending counting house called "Scrooge & Marley". Jacob Marley was his business partner who was cold-hearted just like Scrooge. He would swindle widows, steal from the poor, and even evict children out of orphanages! But now Marley was dead: dead as a door-nail seven years ago. Although Marley left some money for Scrooge to pay for his tombstone, Scrooge had his dead partner buried at sea instead to in his own words, "save money". Scrooge's counting house has only one employee who was in charge of book-keeping. The employee's name was
