Scrooge had to get the ghost of Present and Future at his own Christmas party. Might as well have this be his do over with Goldie. He knew what door she would sneak out of. He would be there waiting for her.
"Oh Scrooge!" Her green eyes widened.
"Enjoying the party Goldie?" His voice was low.
"Oh yes and the party favors too." She winked and pulled her purse a little closer.
Scrooge rolled his eyes. He didn't have much time to chat. He needed to do what he came here for. He signed then quickly grabbed Goldie's face and went in for a kiss. He was expecting a violent reaction but didn't really care now. Their beaks smashed.
Goldie kept her eyes open with Scrooge this close she realized he looked older. He had his eyes smashed shut she could see wrinkles. That concerned her. She clocked him across the face and shoved him away. She studied him suspiciously, he was wearing different clothes than he was earlier that evening.
"Who are you?" The Scrooge she knew would be melting in nervousness and not have the guts.
He smirked rubbing his face "Why I'm Scrooge McDuck."
There was an explosion Goldie had to go now. Scrooge gestured to the exit. Goldie studied his face one last time. He looked sad…? Excepting…? longing. She slipped out of the exit.
She was running down the hill then she skidded to a stop. That was a future Scrooge! She looked up the hill wondering what that was all about. Had she died in the future? Was that why he had guts? Did that explain his look as she left? She could change her future though. She could use what she stole from Scrooge to… What! The candelabra she had put in her purse was now gone. "Scrooge…" she grumbled.
