NOTE: I know it's really early to start a Christmas fic but this idea popped into my head and I decided to roll with it. Updates will probably be sporadic considering that I may be getting a job in the near future.

Nom Nom sat in the comfort of his warm, cozy limo. Nestling up in his carseat, he unwrapped a bar of gourmet Swiss chocolate and dug into it, chewing it and savoring every sweet flavor it had to offer. His bodyguard handed his a cup of eucalyptus tea to wash down the delicious Swiss treat and the star let out a loud yawn, "Well, another video, another day."

The koala turned to his right and stared at his newest bodyguard, Charlie the bigfoot. There was an awkward silence before Charlie spoke, "Nom Nom..."

Nom Nom lowered his shades and glared coldly at the bigfoot, "If this is about your pay, save it for later. I had a real long day so if you'll excuse me, I'll retire to the comfort of my own personal hotel room."

"But...Chloe..."

Nom Nom couldn't help but scoff, "If this is about that pathetic adoptive daughter of yours, I don't want to hear it. I'm here to pay you a fair sum of money, not splurge on your silly charity. You should consider yourself lucky I even pay you in the first place. Not another word, or your fired."

Charlie hung his head in silence, trying his best to smile in the face of Nom Nom's cold nature.

The limo came to a screeching halt at the hotel and Charlie helped carry the koala celebrity's bags to the lobby. A large, burly security guard carried the tiny internet star in his arms as they paced up to the front desk and were greeted by the bellhop. Nom Nom lowered his shades and snorted, "Better get me a room with a king size bed."

"Of course, sir. And by the way, merry Christmas!" The bellhop replied cheerfully but his cheer was soon silenced by the diva's glare.

"Bah humbug!" Nom Nom sneered at the bellhop, crossing his arms, "I could care less about the festivities. I have a big shoot tomorrow. I have to wear a silly Santa hat and fall off a tree for Everyone's Tube and I need my beauty rest so get me my room ASAP."

"Right away sir!" The bellhop saluted and he and Charlie helped carry Nom Nom's things into the elevator.

Nom Nom, Charlie, The bellhop and the guard carrying Nom Nom entered the elevator and the doors closed and it went up. They all stepped out and walked down a long hall to the VIP suite where Nom Nom's dormant room lay. Charlie used the key card to open the room and pushed the door aside. Inside was a lovely suite with posters of Nom Nom plastering the walls and even the bed's comforter and bath towels had images of the koala star on them. Nom Nom couldn't help but smile at the red carpet treatment and instantly plopped down on the big, comfy mattress. Charlie closed the door behind them and they started unloading Nom Nom's luggage when there was a knock at the door.

Charlie opened it and three human children stood at the door, two girls and a boy. The older girl spoke up, "We're here to sing a Christmas carol for you, Nom Nom."

Nom Nom turned to his bouncer, "I'm tired, please shoo these pests away."

The burly guard nodded, marched over to the door and slammed it in the children's faces.

"Thank you." Nom Nom replied to the guard. Sobbing could be heard at the other end of the door and a tearful voice saying "Nom Nom doesn't love us."

Frowning Charlie turned to Nom Nom, "That wasn't very nice."

Nom Nom scoffed at the bigfoot, "So? Neither is keeping me awake when I have a big photo shoot tomorrow."

Charlie sighed, "Can Iat least get a ride back home? Chloe needs me."

Nom Nom rolled his eyes, "You have two legs, don't you? Why don't you just walk back home?"

Charlie sighed and shook his head. There was no use arguing with that diva of a koala. Slowly, he and the security guard walked out of the suite, leaving Nom Nom alone on his king sized bed.

Nom Nom switched on the television and started watching some on demand movie before eventually nodding off to sleep. About half an hour later, Nom Nom sprung awake to the spund of rattling chains. He peered at the foot of his bed and saw the ghostly green figure of a cat with toast around his head. He narrowed his eyes and slowly examined the apparition, "Gluten Cat? But...you were squashed by a car a few years back. What happened?"

"What happened to me isn't important." Gluten Cat spoke, "What's important is what may happen to you if you keep going down the road of greed."

Nom Nom simply scoffed at the ghost cat, "You're such a hypocrite, you know you're almost as much as a diva as I am."

Gluten Cat sighed and shook his head, "Look, I don't want to watch you make the same mistakes I made and wind up as me."

Nom Nom groaned, "Give me a break, I'm perfectly charitable. I give the studio money so they can buy me new props for my vids."

Gluten Cat just burst out in a fit of blood-chilling meow-laughter, "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you Nom Nom?"

"I don't really care, to be honest." Nom Nom replied, folding his arms.

The cat smirked in response, "You should care because tonight, you'll be visited by the three bear spirits of Christmas. Hopefully, they'll whip you into shape by the end of the holiday season."

The koala just snorted, "Three bear spirits of Christmas? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Are you serious?!"

"Of course I am. I wouldn't warn you about them if we weren't friends, right?" Gluten Cat smirked.

Nom Nom frowned and huffed, "Well, it just so happens that I don't believe in ghosts. So there!"

Gluten Cat chuckled a bit, "Touch me then, I dare you."

Nom Nom got to his feet and walked up to the cat ghost. Sticking his stubby arm through the ghost, the koala felt a cold chill run through his body and a look of shock came across his face, "I...i..."

"Told you so." Gluten Cat replied smugly.

Suddenly, Nom Nom got a flustered look on his face and he exploded in a rage, "I'M NOT GONNA LET MYSELF GET SCARED OF SILLY GHOSTS! I don't care if I'm visited by 3 or a thousand ghost bears tonight, ghosts can't hurt me!"

Just then, a chain shot out of Gluten Cat and picked Nom Nom up, chucking him straight at the wall, "You have until tomorrow to change your ways...or else..."

Nom Nom got to his knees, tears welling in his eyes out of fear no matter how hard he denied how scared he really was. With tears running down his furry face, Nom Nom watched as the apparition of his former meme star slowly vanished before his eyes.

Wiping his face and regaining composure, Nom Nom crawled back into bed and shut his eyes. About 10 sleepless minutes passed before he heard a hearty laugh and the sound of jingle bells. Opening his eyes, he was hit by a blinding light and an ursine figure standing at the foot of his bed, "Who...are you?"

The bear burst out into loud laughter and stepped forward, revealing a grizzly bear in a Santa suit and hat, "My bro's call me Grizz but you can call me the spirit bear of Christmas Past. Or Past for short. Yeah, just call me Past."

Nom Nom rubbed his eyes, "Christmas Past?"
