"Hi everyone I'm Charles Dickens and I'm here to tell the story." Scavenger said. "Wait you are not Charles Dickens!" Rollbar said. "Of course I am I know this story like back of my servo," scavenger said. "Prove it!" Rollbar said. "Okay I have scar on my middle finger," Scavenger said. "No I mean the story," Rollbar said. "Oh, Snow cat Marley was dead from the start as dead as a door nail." Scavenger said. "Okay," Rollbar said. "His surviving partner is Ebeneezer Megatron Scrooge." Said Scavenger. "Where is he?" Rollbar asked. "Here comes now," Scavenger said. Scrooge rounded the corner. "There goes mister humbug," One whispered. "There goes mister grouch," another whispered. "Scrooge liked the cold." Scavenger said. "Man this guy sounds like somebody you really don't want to run into huh?" Rollbar asked. "Yep that is what everyone here thinks." Scavenger replied.

They followed him to the counting house. " Sir, the bookkeepers and I were wondering if we could have an extra shovel of coal?" Starscream Cratchit asked. "How would like to be unemployed!?" Scrooge shouted. "Never mind it's actually a little warmer than it should be." They said. Starscream shook his head. "Demolisher his nephew comes in his only living relative." Scavenger said. "Merry Christmas uncle." Demolisher said. "Humbug." Scrooge said. "Christmas a humbug?" Demolisher asked. "Yes if it was my way anyone who was a Merry Christmas, should be boiled in his own pudding and cooked with his own turkey and buried with stake of holly in his heart." Scrooge said. " I love Christmas and I say God bless it!" Demolisher said. Starscream and the bookkeepers cheered. "How will you enjoy Christmas on the unemployment line!?" Scrooge shouted. They went back to work. "Uncle I want to know if you will come to my big Christmas dinner that my wife and I are throwing." Demolisher said. "Why did you get married anyways?" Scrooge asked him. "Because I fell in love," Demolisher answered honestly. "Sounds like foolishness to me and I'm not going to your party." Scrooge said. "But uncle," Demolisher said. "OUT!" Scrooge yelled. Demolisher left. Then a couple of mechs came in. "What do you two want?" Scrooge asked. "I'm Drift and this is Fracture we are fundraisers for the poor. Who are we talking to or ?" Drift said. "Mr. Marley has been dead 7 years today" Scrooge said. "Okay," Drift said."We want to know, how much you to donate?" Fracture asked. "Nothing," Scrooge answered. "You want to remain anonymous?" Drift asked. "I wish to be left alone." Scrooge told them. "But we still need some money for the poor." Fracture said. "Are there no prisons are there no Workhouses?" Scrooge asked. "Plenty of those but there are some who would rather die." Drift said. "If their going to die they better do it and decrease the surplus population!" Scrooge they left. Then Scrooge heard singing. "Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright." The boys sang. Scrooge opened the door and threw a book at them. "OUCH!" Wheeljack cried. "What a grouch," Side swipe said. "No wonder no one likes him," Hot shot said. "Agreed," Wheeljack said.

The clock struck 8:00 pm time for everyone to go home. "Sir tomorrow is Christmas so can we have the day off?" Starscream asked. The bookkeepers nodded. "Fine but be here all the early the next day." Scrooge said. They got their coats and left.

Scrooge left and made his way home. He walked up the steps of his house and his doorknocker which looked like the face of tiger changed before his eyes. "Snow cat Marley?" Scrooge asked. "Scrooge," Snow cat Marley said. That scared him so much that he fell on his backside. He looked again but it was back to normal. "Humbug," He said. He walked into the house. But after that experience he felt uneasy. So he lit a few candles and the fireplace and he got dressed in his bed clothes and began to enjoy his dinner. Then the bells began to ring and the fire went out. He heard the clanking of chains. "Scrooge," He heard. then the door opened. "Who are you?" Scrooge asked. "In life I was your partner Snow cat Marley." the spirit said. "I don't believe it," Scrooge said. "Why do you doubt your senses?" Snow cat Marley asked. "Because the slightest problem with stomach can cause trouble with the vision. It could be a crumb of cheese a piece of beef there is more gravy of you than grave!" Scrooge said. Snow cat yowled and clanked his chains. "Now do you believe?" Snow cat Marley. "Yes," Scrooge answered. "What is that chain you were?" Scrooge asked him. "This is the chain i forged in life I made it link by link yard by yard. Your change was this long seven Christmases ago now your chain is even longer and heavier than mine." Snow cat Marley said. "Please Marley speak comfort to me!" Scrooge begged. "I have none to speak of you will be visited by three spirits each one more haunting than the last. Expect the first when the bell tolls one." Snow cat Marley said. And like that the spirit of his partner left. Scrooge looked around and everything was normal. "Three spirits more like three humbugs." Scrooge said and went to bed. Still thinking about his encounter.
