Warning: Okay, after a bit of thought, I'm doing this half story/half script kind of form. If it gets confusing, tell me and I'll revise it, okay?

Yue-chan grinned as the first setting was brought out into the room. Aoi and Mik-chan had been placed in control of the set and props, of which there were a few. After all, Yue-chan had been planning this for months, and it showed. The scene was that of a dingy old office building, the kind a person would expect to find in old London. There was a large desk in the center, and a much smaller one in the corner, next to which was a small stove. Netto, being a willing participant, was in place, but Wiley had to be forcefully set on the "stage" by Aoi, who wasn't the least bit gentle.
"Okay, first scene!" Yue-chan ordered.
Wiley sat at the desk and idly began to pick up the coins Yue-chan had set there, pretending to count them, all the while glaring at the girl holding the camera. Undoubtly he was thinking of some evil plan to get his revenge against her. Netto pretended to be copying letters, trying at the same time to look like he was cold. He was having a hard time not laughing at Wiley's expression from the look on his face, but he did manage not to make too much noise. Before he could burst out laughing, Enzan came in, dressed in the clothing of the time period, looking a little less than thrilled, but still willing (for the sake of humoring Netto) to play the part he'd been given.
Enzan: "A Merry Christmas to you, Uncle!"
Wiley glared at Enzan, refusing to speak for a moment. Mik-chan poked him in the back with a cane.
Wiley: "Bah, Humbug!" Scrooge growled.
Enzan: "Surely you don't mean that?" the nephew replied.
Enzan didn't miss a beat with his lines, even if Wiley was determined not to say his.
Wiley: "Of course I do!" Scrooge growled back. "I hate this entire Christmas season!"
Enzan: "Come now, Uncle. What right have you to be dismal?"
Wiley: "..."
Mik-chan poked Wiley again.
Wiley: "Bah! Humbug!"
Enzan: "Don't be cross, Uncle," said the nephew.
Wiley: "What else can I be when I live in a world of fools such as this! What good is Christmas to anyone? I say ever idiot that goes about speaking 'Merry Christmas' ought to be boiled and have a stake driven through his heart!"
Enzan: "Uncle!"
Wiley: "Get out of my sight!" he roared.
Enzan had to leave the stage quickly before he fell over with laughter, and Netto had already done the same thing. He could be heard through the closed doors in the kitchen, and for the time being Tohru had to take his place. At least Enzan wouldn't have to put up with Wiley until later in the play. It was a moment before the scene could continue.
Now Dekao and Higure walking into the "office", also dressed in clothing from that time period. (I told you Yue-chan thought this all out months ahead of time ^.^) Neither looked to sure about what they were doing.
Dekao: "Uh...Scrooge, I, uh, presume?"
Wiley: "What do you two want?" he snapped. Dekao flinched.
Higure: "Sir, we are here to beg for money for the needy, as this is the holiday season.
Wiley: "Forget it! Get out of my site before I send the dogs after you."
Higure: "But Sir-"
Wiley: "GO AWAY!"
Dekao and Higure darted off of the scene in a hurry. Yue-chan motioned for Wiley to continue the scene, holding up a video tape labeled "blackmail" to keep the man in line. Wiley glared at her, then turned to Tohru, who was now currently serving as Bob Cratchet.
Wiley: "And I suppose you'll want all day off for Christmas?"
Tohru: "If convient, Sir," he said in a small voice.
Wiley: "Well, its not! But I'll give it to you, as long as you show up ealy the next day!"
Tohru: Thank you, Sir!"
And Tohru took that as his cue to leave the stage. Yue-chan put down her camera and clapped.
"That wraps it up for the first scene. Well done everyone!"
Wiley stormed away from the desk, intent upon tearing Yue-chan apart. It took Mik-chan, Aoi, Masa, and Higure to hold him back. Yue-chan simply smiled and held up the tape she'd been keeping in her pocket for the past few days.
"Just try it, Wiley. Lay one finger on me, step one foot out of line, and I'll be showing a certain tape to all of 'Evil Genius' Annonomous' next week."
"And everyone says [i]I'm[/i] evil!" Wiley exclaimed, pulling away from his captors to go sulk in a corner.
****
And that wraps up the first part of "Marley's Ghost". I shall get to the second part soon, so Neko, breathe easy, its not your turn yet. XD
