Ganon awoke with fright as he remembered what the last spirit had done. He fell from his bed onto the cold wooden floor. Ganon looked around and sighed.
"I'm alive," he said with a sigh. Ganon climbed to his feet and walked towards the window. He opened the window and let the cold air hit his face. Ganon spotted a young boy walking near his house. "Hello! You there," he yelled to the boy.
The boy froze and looked at the window. He pointed to himself with a puzzled expression.
"Yes! Can you tell me what day it is," Ganon requested.
The child grew even more puzzled. "Sir, it's Christmas!
Ganon stood silent for a moment before regaining his composure. "Yes! Thank you," he yelled, tossing a gold coin to the child. "Consider that payment for your service."
The child grabbed the coin and glanced at the man. "Aren't you Mr. Scrooge," he asked accusingly.
"Yes! Is that a problem?"
The child shook his head and smiled. "Merry Christmas, sir!" He stuffed the coin in his pocket and ran down the street.
Ganon walked away from the window with a smile. "It's Christmas! I have time to set things right! The spirits did it in one night," he cheered. He quickly grabbed his coat and walked outside the door.
As soon as he did, cold wind hit his face, causing him to wince. It didn't matter to him, though. He began to walk around the town, looking for Link.
"Hmm, he said he wanted his children to have a turkey," Ganon muttered under his breath. He stopped to count his money. As soon as he did, something bumped into him. Ganon turned around to see the pikachu from before.
"S-sorry sir, " the pikachu muttered. He looked up in fright.
"Watch where you're going," Ganon snapped.
"Sorry Mr. Scrooge," the pikachu yelled. He tried to run away but was grabbed by Ganon. "W-what are you doing?"
"I told you to watch where you're going. At this rate, you'll die of hunger or freeze," Ganon shouted. He pulled out a sack of gold coins and handed it to the mouse. He smiled and set the mouse down. "Merry Christmas."
The pikachu looked at the man walking away. He was bewildered by the actions of the man who just the night before, kicked the pikachu and the rest of his family out of his home.
Ganon hummed a song while passing in front of the windows of several shops. He stopped at the shop where a bird was featured in the window. Ganon reached into his pockets and pulled out more gold coins. He opened the door and walked to the one selling the bird.
"Hello, I'd like to purchase that turkey you have in the window," Ganon said, dropping his gold coins on the table.
The man nodded and took the turkey down. "How are you planning on carrying this?"
Ganon pondered for a moment before placing more coins on the table. "Can you deliver it? I'm an old man, so I'm unable to carry it."
The man nodded and stuffed the coins in his pocket. "Okay sir. "
"Follow me."
Ganon walked to the shabby-looking house that Olimar had shown him. He begun to feel nervous at the sight of the door. He knocked on the door, slightly hoping that nobody was home.
"Coming," announced a groggy-sounding Link.
Link opened the door. His eyes widened as he saw his boss standing outside his door. "Sir! I-I didn't mean to miss work, honest! I-I just...," Link stuttered before sighing. "C-Can you just take it out of my salary? I can't afford to lose this job," he pleaded.
"Oh, I see. This holiday of yours has made you lazy," Ganon accused.
"Please... don't fire me."
"Well, I have half a mind to," Ganon started.
Link's wife suddenly appeared in Ganon's face.
"Excuse me, but we were up all night because you you. Link didn't get any sleep last night because he was working on YOUR work. I feel like he deserved that extra sleep. My husband is just too much of a push-over to stand up to you," Zelda yelled.
"Hey," Link shouted.
Ganon wiped the spit from his face. "As I was saying, I have half a mind to... increase your pay," Ganon finished, leaving a dumbfounded Zelda and Link.
"What," Link and Zelda asked simultaneously.
Ganon laughed before continuing. "What your wife said is true. You deserve the extra sleep, but you are also my best employee. For that, I thank you. Not only that, but I would be willing to help pay for anything that Toon might need. I've heard that he's not feeling well," Ganon explained. He stepped to the side. "Also, I bought you a turkey."
The man carried the turkey inside the house.
"Anyway, that'll be all. Merry Christmas," Ganon said.
Link and Zelda stared at Ganon. "What?"
"Yawn," Toon said. He was limping towards Link. "Is it Christmas?"
Link nodded and smiled. "Yeah, and we just had a Christmas miracle."
Toon smiled. "God bless us, everyone," he yelled with a smile.
"And it is said that Ganon was able to become like a second father to Toon," Rosalina read, "In the short about of time, Ganon helped the town prosper and soon...," she said to the boy. "The boy got better."
Villager smiled. "Yay! What a great story you read today!" Villager glanced around the room. "I still haven't seen Toon Link. Where did he go?"
Rosalina shut the book and set it down. "I thought he would be back. We have to find him," she said, ending the rhyming scheme they originally started.
Villager frowned. "Aw... you stopped rhyming."
"This isn't the time for rhymes, my child," Rosalina said while checking various spots in the room.
After a couple of minutes, they began frantically searching rooms.
"Where is he," Villager asked, fear filling his voice.
"Ahem," someone called behind the boy.
Villager turned around to see Link, Ganondorf, Zelda, Pikachu, and Toon Link. They seemed angry. They each had on strange clothes. Pikachu even had on a strange collar.
"What's the big idea, kid," Ganondorf demanded.
Villager was confused by his question. "Huh?"
"Don't 'huh' me, kid! What's with you and Rosalina making us your personal playthings," Ganondorf asked. His hands glowed a dark purple.
"What do you mean by that," Villager asked.
Pikachu scoffed. "You mean, you don't know that we were suddenly taken hostage by that FREAKY book of yours?"
"The storybook?"
"The magic storybook," Toon Link corrected. "I learned the power of that book. It creates takes, but uses real people." He crossed his arms. "Did you not get suspicious by the fact that I was a character there?"
Villager rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry..."
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it, kid," Ganondorf yelled. He stomped into the nearby room and grabbed the book. He tore the book in half and threw the book on the floor. "That stupid book made me look like a joke."
"Me too," the others shouted.
"You better not try and find another one of those books. Next time, YOU'LL be the book on the ground," Ganondorf threatened before leaving. The others followed him in silence.
Villager stood and stared at the book. "I will never read again."
