Act 1, part 1: Dan the Scrooge
At an old town of Amity Park, on a snowy day no less, Christmas time was here, and everyone is going to enjoy their Christmas. Today was Christmas Eve and around that time, people have to make quick shopping, and finish their work so they can spend some time with their families on the holidays.
But there is only one exceptional man.
That exception takes place at a large building called FentonWorks, one of the most highest, most profitable company in the US. FentonWorks was founded by Jack Fenton before collaborating with the rich billionaire Vlad Masters. The company is known to build technology and medicine, like none have seen before. Advanced computers, futuristic cellphones, and good medicine, all comes with a pretty penny.
Tucker Foley, the assistant for his boss, is seen looking over everything in check at the technology department. He is a family man at the age of 35, with a wife, two sons and two daughters he has to take care of. He, as well as the rest of the employees, were underpaid because of their cheap penny-pinching boss. Normally they would quit, but they're insured with FentonWorks and the last guy who quit, he was dirt poor and his wife left him with his children. Since then, they all won't attempt to perform on a strike.
"Hey Tuck, you know where Star is?" asked Kwan Wu, one of the workers who works for the pharmacy whom confronted the man.
"I saw her with Paulina at the coffee room." Tucker replied to his co-worker. "Why'd you asked?"
"Well, I'm planning to ask her to marry me." Kwan told him.
"Seriously? Oh man, about time the baby's daddy gets hitch with his girl." Tucker replied gladly. Kwan is the father of Star Light's child, Kwan Jr. The two had a one night stand six years ago which resulted in getting her pregnant. Feeling bad, Kwan decides to support her and their son. He only figured out since he started working at FentonWorks three years ago.
"If only I can afford a wedding, maybe the courthouse will work out." Kwan wondered as he went to find Star, but then he heard the intercom.
"Kwan Wu, please report to Mr. Fenton's office, immediately."
Kwan lowered himself down. He really wanted to see Star, but he must go to the office of his dreadful and wrathful boss.

"So if you would be so kindly to do so, I hope you would make a donation for the poor." Asked Mr. Lancer, as he and his associate Mr. Palooka stood in front of the desk of the CEO of FentonWorks as they're faced with the back of a chair.
"Hmm, so you're saying that I should just give out money to the needy?" asked a gruff voice of the CEO of FentonWorks. His voice was like something from the furthest darkness of the world with a hint of sadism. He was crooked as they always say. His hand is seen holding a cigar as smoke puffs out.
"But if I just give money to the poor, they wouldn't be poor anymore, now would they?" The chair turns around as a view of a man in his mid-thirties, with a strong build, groomed, but spiky ebony hair, blue soulless eyes, a frown on his face that shows that he is not pleased. He wore a black suit with white stripes all over.
"M-M-Mr. Fenton, I'm sure i-i-if you would be so k-k-kindly to make the donation." Mr. Palooka stuttered as the short man is nervous of the businessman who ruled all of Amity Park since FentonWorks owns a lot of business.
"How about you go and tell those penguins at the church to get laid." Mr. Fenton told them as they've stood there in shock.
"Oliver Twist, Mr. Fenton. That's not nice to say about the nuns." Mr. Lancer told the man.
"Oh don't give me one of your lectures, Mr. Lancer; you're not my teacher anymore, now are you?" Dan Fenton countered as he grin maliciously. He then saw Kwan at the door.
"Um, are you here to see me, Mr. Fenton?" Kwan asked his boss.
"Yes, as soon as these beggars leave, we have a discussion to make, Mr. Wu." Dan told with a frown on his face. Kwan gulped as soon as Lancer and Palooka leave the office as he walks towards the desk. "Sit down." Dan ordered, Kwan sits in the seat as he face him. "Now, where's the money I let you loan?"
"Um, well you know I promise to pay you back, sir." Kwan replied as he twirling his fingers. "But-"
"Where did you spend my money, Mr. Wu?" Dan growled as he glares at the frighten employee.
"I-I sort of..." Kwan gulped as he looks frightened. "Spent it on a ring."
"A ring?" Dan growled as he cocked an eyebrow.
"Well, I am going to use it to mar-" Kwan was interrupted by his boss's laughter.
Dan huffs his cigarette as he blew a puff of smoke. "So let me get this straight. You, spent my $300 on some ring? Let me see it." He asked as he extends his hand.
Kwan reluctantly pulls out his ring out of his pocket as he hands it to his boss. "Here it is, what do you think, sir?"
Dan inspects the ring as he nods in amusement. "13-karat ring, this will help pay me back." He said much to the shock of Kwan.
"You can't do that, sir! I need that ring!" Kwan told his crooked boss as Dan laughed.
"Well the next time you want to borrow money from me, better find something more valuable than this ring." Dan told him. Kwan was about to retort, but Dan spoke. "Now get out of my sight and get back to work."
Kwan didn't say anything in order to not risk getting fired. He gets up and leaves the office, leaving the Fenton tyrant alone. Now Kwan doesn't have a ring to give to Star.
Dan then picks up his remote as he watches the news. It shows Lance Thunder on stock marketing. 'Wonder who's higher up this time? Better be me.'
"The stock market is high, folks." Lance Thunder states as he reads his report. "FentonWorks this week has proven to be one of the biggest, most highest, profitable company in the state of Illinois. Yes, Dan Fenton, the CEO heir of FentonWorks, has made it possible to top every company with an iron fist. Ever since his business mentor and godfather, Vlad Masters, died of a terminal illness, Dan has bought Vlad's company, DALV Corporation, and fused it with his company as Vlad's tower is what remains today, FentonWorks."
Dan chuckled, oh how he thanked Vlad about teaching him about business. He has to be cold, ruthless, dominating, and show no signs of weakness.
"Mr. Fenton, a Mr. Foley wants to see you." The secretary told him.
"Let him in, Dorothea." Dan replied to his secretary. High office door opens as Tucker Foley enters his office. "Ah Mr. Foley, my assisstant. What can I do for you?"
"Well sir, I was wondering..." Tucker was quite nervous around his boss. If he saids one wrong word, his family's so going to be dirt poor. "If I can get, um, a raise?"
Dan hummed as he puts his cigar down on the ashtray. He straighten himself up as he clasp his hands together. "A raise, you say?"
"Well, yeah. My wife, Valerie, she's expecting me to get paid more so we can afford getting some bills done. She has a job at the Nasty Burger, but doesn't get paid well, so I was wondering if I can get a Christmas bonus?" Tucker hoped with plead.
"Hmm, you want more money, eh?" Dan smokes his cigar, for a young looking man in his early thirties, he was a chain smoker. "Alright, you get to work tomorrow, Tuck."
"Tomorrow!?" Tucker exclaims in shock. "But sir, tomorrow's Christmas!"
Dan stops smoking.
"Christmas?" Dan muttered as he looks at Tucker with no emotion in his eyes. "Christmas!? I'll tell you what Christmas is, nothing but a holiday that because of union rules, you have to get employees the day off. Christmas, is the time of hear where you gotta keep your money tight from stock holders."
"But sir, Christmas is about spending time with your family and friends." Tucker told his boss.
Before Dan could reply, his secretary spoke. "Sir, there is a man name Timmy Turner and claims that he's your cousin."
Dan groaned. Great, his cousin Timmy is coming. He was from his late mother's side of the family. Timmy was always a good and mischievous boy of the family. Dan wonders what happened to his goldfishes...
"Let him in to see what he wants." Dan told her as opening the door to his office is a young man in his twenties. He has brown hair, blue eyes, noticeable buck teeth, pink hat, and wears a pink coat with a green scarf and wears blue pants.
"Merry Christmas, Danny." Timmy said as he greets his cousin.
"Happy Holidays to you too, Turner." Dan dryly replied. "What do you want from me?"
"Well my parents are having a Christmas dinner tomorrow, so me and my wife, Tootie, were wondering if you could come?" Timmy asked his cousin. Dan knew Timmy through childhood, remember that he was a good lad. His parents weren't so bright, as Dan's mother and Timmy's mother are sisters, both married the idiotic men.
What was up with this family?
"Let me think, Tim." Dan replied as he saw the expectations of his cousin's hopeful eyes, but them decides to shatter his hope as he replied. "I'm going to be busy with paperwork tomorrow."
Timmy blinked twice as he replied. "But Danny-"
"It's Dan, Timothy." Dan corrected his cousin. "And I will not come to the dinner since I have some work to do. It's bad enough that I have to let some people the day off because of union rules."
But Timmy respond. "This is the umpteenth year that you've rejected my offer for a family dinner, Danny. Why do you hate Christmas so much?"
"It's a waste of time of the year." Dan simply replied to his cousin. "Now why don't you get out of my office, and let me talk to Tucker."
Timmy sigh in defeat. His parents have told him that it's a lost cause to convince his older cousin to come. Well, at least he tried.
"I-If that's what you want, Dan, then I'm sorry if I bothered you." Timmy grimly said as he exits out of his cousin's office.
'Well that's taken care of, though I should've told him to take care of that buck tooth of his.' Dan thought as he turns to Tucker. "Well Tuck, do we have a deal of working tomorrow?"
Tucker has a look of defeat as he respond. "I-I'll come by in the morning, sir."
"Good." Dan replied as he smokes his cigar.
