"Twas the night before the night before Christmas and all through this place, Crazy Hand was chasing Pikachu with a mace," Villager began as he reading out of an oversized book.
Toon Link lightly shoved him. "Come on! Don't be so desperate for a rhyme. Be like me and be brilliantly sublime," Toon Link boasted.
Villager rolled his eyes. "Oh please now cut me some slack. I try my hardest so stop your attack."
Toon Link gave a mischievous smile. "Now let me tell a tale of adventure, a tale of an attitude changing changing almost overnight!" Toon Link winked. "This story begins, when others were out like a light," Toon Link began. He waved his arms spookily and grabbed the book out of Villager's hand. "This tale may be hard to believe, but just stay with me and look at what he did achieve."
"Sometimes I think, you're playing it up. Sometimes better rhymes can come from a cup," Villager said, taunting Toon Link.
Toon Link didn't pay attention to Villager. "This is the story of Ganon Scrooge, a man who was viewed as rude. The way he treated his employee, Link, was very crude..."
A blizzard howled outside the window of the former "Ganon and Wario". The cold air seeped inside and chilled Link to the bone. He shivered and thought a dangerous though. Maybe I can use some of the coal to warm this place up.
He reached for the fireplace. He lit a small fire and attempted to warm himself, when he felt a dark presence behind him. His boss, Ganon Scrooge was standing over his shoulders, watching Link warm himself.
"Sir! I didn't see you standing there," Link said, hoping to catch him in a good mood.
"I'm sure you didn't, otherwise you wouldn't use my coal like this. Coal costs money," Ganon snarled.
"Sorry sir," Link said. He rubbed the back of his head. "I was just cold."
"Bring a jacket next time then, now get back to work," Ganon commanded.
Link nodded and sat back at his desk. He tapped the pen to a piece of paper, then got back up. He walked to his boss's office and removed his hat.
"Sir, I was... I was wondering," Link started.
"You're not getting a raise," Ganon dismissed. He waved his hand for Link to go away.
"No, uh. I was wondering... if I could take tomorrow off," Link said.
Ganon slammed his fist onto the table. It creaked as if it were going to break. "Why would I allow my employee to leave?"
"B-because it's Christmas, sir," Link explained.
"Bah humbug," Ganon snarled. "If you take off tomorrow, there would be no money coming into the shop."
"Then can I get part of the holiday off? I'll come in early tomorrow," Link promised.
Ganon sighed "Fine, but you better be here."
Link smiled. "Oh thank you sir," Link exclaimed.
The door opened. Ganon Scrooge's nephew, Mario, walked into the house.
"Hello there uncle," Mario greeted.
"What do you want," Ganon asked.
Mario took a step back. "Well, I would like to extend an invitation for Christmas," Mario explained.
"Humbug," Ganon exclaimed.
Mario seemed to be surprised for a moment. "Christmas? A humbug? But Christmas is a time of generosity and compassion! Have you never heard the phrase,' Peace on Earth and goodwill towards man,' uncle Scrooge," Mario asked.
"I've never been a coin richer with the twenty-fifth of December. How is that you can carry on this holiday?"
"I may not be a coin richer, but I grow richer in spirit," Mario exclaimed.
Link clapped and cheered for Mario.
"Link, are you going to push your luck with this Christmas mentality of yours," Ganon asked.
Link shook his head.
Mario sighed. "Well, if you change your mind, the invitation is still open," Mario offered as he walked out the door. The cold winter air closed the door shut.
The clock on the wall struck eight. Link prepared to rush outside into the outside world.
"Hm. It would seem like it's closing time. Be here tomorrow bright and early," Ganon threatened.
"Y-you mean it? You weren't just playing a cruel joke on me," Link asked.
"Now get out of here before I change my mind," Ganon growled.
Link smiled. "Thank you once again sir!" Braving the freezing cold, Link stepped outside. He walked away from the establishment.
Now alone, Ganon began to count his gold coins.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ganon got up and walked to the door. He opened it to find a couple of pokemon carrying signs. There was a jigglypuff, a pikachu, and a pichu.
"Pika pi," a pikachu said. He stared down to his neck, where there was a metal collar. He spun a dial on the collar and pressed a button. "Hello sir," the pikachu said. He held up a sign. "As you can see, we're from the Pokemon Protection team. We're here to ask if you would donate some money to help pokemon like us receive warmth this winter."
Ganon glared at the pikachu. It sent shivers up the pokemon's spine. "No."
The pokemon were flabbergasted. "But sir," the pichu squeaked. "We just want a place where we can be warm and well fed."
"It isn't my problem that you guys are poor. All you idiots want to do is bleed me dry," Ganon yelled.
The pokemon shrinked back. "These collars were expensive and all pokemon are required to get one," the jigglypuff stated.
"Not. My. Problem," Ganon repeated. Each word made the pokemon retreat. Once they were far enough away, Ganon slammed the door. "Bah humbug," Ganon repeated.
Villager scratched his head. "Oh come on now, just use your head. That isn't how the original story read," Villager pointed out.
"In this book, it spells out clearly. This is based on pure fiction, really," Toon Link said while pointing to the page.
Villager glowered. "You wrote the entry now admit to me, how long will this story be?"
Toon Link shrugged. "I don't know. What you say isn't so. The writing appears and disappears once I finish the line," Toon Link exclaimed.
"Well once you are done, let me read something from it," Villager exclaimed.
"No young children your job is to sit. I am the one who tells the tale," Rosalina said.
The two children stared at her sheepishly, muttering a quick apology. Toon Link got out of the rocking chair and sat by the chair. Rosalina smiled and patted their heads. "I will continue in a couple of minutes. I'm sure reading tested your voice's limits."
Toon Link nodded while holding his throat. He didn't say anything, but he was parched. Villager and Toon Link went to get some water.
Rosalina sighed and smiled. "They are so curious, much like me at their age. Now, once they get back, we'll look at the next page."
Done with this chapter! Okay, so since this is Christmas related, I'm having these three people hear stories based on classic Christmas tales. Also, we're having them rhyme because that's what people do at Christmas time in film and TV.
Anyway, I hope you liked it! Bye guys!
