Narrator: Marley was dead, to begin with. Geez do you think we could depress theaudience a little bit for Christmas?
Director: Just read the script. It’s supposed to be like that!
Narrator: OK, but don’t blame me when you get calls from parents because we traumatized their kids. Marley was dead, to begin with. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wondrous can come of the story we are about to relate…
Scrooge knew he was dead? Of course he did. How could it be otherwise? Scrooge and he had been partners in business for years. When Marley died Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole friend and sole mourner. And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral. Old Marley was dead as a doornail. He was pushing up daisies, kicked the bucket, headed for the light, knocking on the pearly gates…
Director: Ahem…
Narrator: There is no doubt whatsoever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge's name was good upon the Exchange for anything he chose to put his hand to. Oh, but he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous sinner. Man, what a mean old…
Director: Shut yo mouth.
Narrator: But we’re talking bout Scrooge!
Director: Just follow the script!
Narrator: Early in the morning Scrooge entered his business to find his loyal worker Bob Cratchit hard at work…
Scrooge: Hey! Don’t you have those AnimeLondon name tags done yet? The conventions only 5 months away!
Cratchit: I’m working as quick as I can Mr. Scrooge. Look, I even have the pre-registration list up to date.
Scrooge: Well, it’s about time. I’m telling you it’s impossible to find good volunteers nowadays…
Narrator: As Scrooge took off his hat and coat his nephew Fred entered the shop.
Fred: Merry Christmas Uncle Ebenezer!
Scrooge: Christmas! Bah Humbug!
Fred: Oh come now uncle. Why so glum when Christmas is tomorrow?
Scrooge: Do you realize I only have 5 months to try to arrange for guests to arrive from Japan? Do you think they are just going to fall out of the sky and into the convention?
Fred: Well, why don’t you take a little time off. I wish to invite you to our Christmas meal tomorrow.
Scrooge: No can do. Cratchit and I have T Shirt orders to do tomorrow…
Cratchit: But Mr. Scrooge…it is Christmas and I was hoping for a little time off to spend with the family.
Scrooge: How much time?
Cratchit: Well, actually the whole day if it’s convenient sir. And after all it is only once a year…
Scrooge: Only once a year? A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December. Very well, go home, keep your Christmas.
Cratchit: But, I’m a volunteer…
Scrooge: But mind you, be here all the earlier the next morning.
Cratchit: Yes sir.
Narrator: That evening Scrooge retired to his home. As he sat eating a meal that he cooked himself not fit for man nor beast his chamber bell began to ring and a familiar voice was heard…
Jacob Marley: Ebenezer Scrooge…
Scrooge: Who…who are you?
Marley: Ask who I was…
Scrooge: OK…who was you?
Marley: In life I was your partner Jacob Marley. And I come now to give you warning Ebenezer…
Scrooge: Those chains Jacob…are those the chains that you forged in life taking advantage of people?
Marley: No. They are chains I forged by watching fanservice! Quite a collection isn’t it?
Scrooge: Please Jacob, speak words of comfort to me!
Marley: Scrooge, tonight you will be visited by three spirits. Expect the first when the bell tolls one…
Scrooge: Couldn’t I see them all at the same time? I have an early morning see and…
Marley: When the bell tolls one…
Narrator: And with that the window flew open and Jacob Marley’s spirit vanished from sight. Scrooge having lost his appetite decided to turn in for the evening. His sleep was filled with visions of mecha when suddenly…
PING!
Narrator: Suddenly a blinding light filled Scrooge’s bedchamber.
Scrooge: What in the…are you the spirit of whose coming was foretold to me?
Spirit Of Christmas Past: Yes, I am the Spirit of Christmas Past.
Scrooge: Long past?
Christmas Past: What? Are you saying I look old?
Scrooge: Well, no that’s not what…
Christmas Past: Ooooooo look at my pretty dress!
Scrooge: Yes it’s very…
Christmas Past: Ok, let’s hit the road. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover…
Narrator: And with that the spirit grabbed Scrooge’s hand and out the window they flew.
Scrooge: Spirit, where are we going?
Christmas Past: First star to the right and straight on til morning!
Scrooge: Uh…isn’t that Neverland?
Christmas Past: Are you going to give me trouble the whole trip?
Narrator: With a blink of an eye Scrooge found himself in familiar surroundings.
Scrooge: Why this is my old school!
Christmas Past: Not much to look at is it?
Scrooge: Why it was here that I traded my first Pokemon cards…
Christmas Past: OK, let’s move on…
Narrator: Once more in a whirlwind Scrooge was transported…
Scrooge: I’m feeling a little…
Christmas Past: Do you recognize this place?
Scrooge: Why…it’s old Fezziwig’s place! He was the founder of AnimeLondon! Man, he was a great guy. Every year he held a…why look. We are here just in time. It’s the annual Fezziwig’s Christmas party. And there’s Mr. And Mrs. Fezziwig!
Mr. Fezziwig: Come along wife, its time to get started!
Mrs. Fezziwig: I’m coming, I’m coming. Say, is ManFaye going to be here again this year?
Mr. Fezziwig: I am sure he will be. I sent an invitation to all the staff, volunteers and everyone who has attended AnimeLondon so far.
Mrs. Fezziwig: What? Do you realize how many people came last year? Are you nuts? Hasn’t the fact that we live in a trailer ever crossed your mind?
Mr. Fezziwig: But dear…it’s Christmas!
Scrooge: Ah, Old Fezziwig really knew how to live it up.
Christmas Past: Do you recognize that girl over there?
Scrooge: Why it’s…it’s Belle!
Christmas Past: Let us look at another Christmas…
Narrator: Once more Scrooge and the Spirit traveled on through time…speaking of time is it time for a break yet?
Director: Just keep reading or I’ll break your neck!
Scrooge: Why look over there Spirit…That’s Belle and I when…Hey! I did not look like that when i was younger!
Christmas Past: Yah, I know... But it is about time we got some fanservice around here.
Belle: So what your telling me is the marriage is postponed again until you can get Takahashi to make a convention appearance?
Young Scrooge: The negotiations are very delicate Belle.
Belle: And you expect me to just wait around until…
Young Scrooge: Isn’t there anything I can do to convince you to…
Belle: Credit card!
Young Scrooge: Huh?
Belle: Let me borrow your credit card. I have to have something to do while waiting…
Young Scrooge: Oh, OK here…
Belle: I’ll be at Mall Of America when you’re ready…
Scrooge: Oh, Spirit…show me no more please I beg of you!
Christmas Past: OK, yeah I think that’s enough. Oh and don’t forget your two o’clock appointment with Christmas Present. She gets kind of cranky if you’re late... Hey Belle, wait for me….
Narrator: And with that the Spirit vanished and Scrooge once more found himself alone in his bedchamber.
