Eddy ran, but fell down a staircase. He got up and found himself in an even darker hallway. He started to run again, but bumped into a large hooded ghost. "Are you the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?" he asked. The spirit slowly nodded.

"You freak me out more than any of the other guys I've met tonight..." admitted Eddy. "...but you're here to help, right?" The ghost nodded again.

"Then let's go."

Eddy found himself outside again. Kevin and Nazz walked by. "...so the dork's hiding out from Christmas!" Kevin was saying. "What a loser!"

"His loss," agreed Nazz.

"Hiding out on Christmas..." Eddy said to himself. That sounded familiar. "Doesn't anyone care that this guy's not around?" he asked the silent spirit.

Eddy found himself next standing in the Park 'n Flush. "The trailer park! Why are we here?"

Christmas Future pointed to the Kanker Sister's trailer. They were sitting inside with Eddy's stuff. "Look at this haul!" smiled Lee.

"Yeah, good thing he wasn't at home when we raided his place!" said May.

"Are these REAL leopard skin undies?" giggled Marie.

"Lucky us he's hiding out on Christmas! Let's raid his brother's room now!" ordered Lee. They ran outside and in the direction of the Cul-De-Sac.

"That guys whom the Kankers robbed..." said Eddy. "Was he...?" Suddenly, he was whisked away again. He was standing by a figure covered in snow hiding behind a building. Perhaps it was just a bush...but what if it was something...or someone else?

"You want me to brush the snow off?" asked Eddy. The ghost nodded. Eddy reached for the snow, but was interrupted by Johnny running around.

"Plank? Plank? Where are you, buddy?" Suddenly, Johnny stepped on Plank who lay covered in the snow, breaking him. "Plank...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Oh no!" cried Eddy. "Plank! Why'd I throw that snowball?"

Next, Eddy found himself by Ed and Edd. "I'm stunned, Ed," sighed Edd. "That was the worst play ever."

"It wasn't so bad."

"Really, Ed? You mean it?"

"Mean what?"

"Well, we learned one lesson from this...never try to cut Scrooge's character from 'A Christmas Carol...' I guess that Eddy didn't care about the play after all..."

"What do we do now?"

"Well, we'll never be able to show our faces outside again...I think I'll spend the rest of my days in your basement. (Never thought I'd say that...)" The two of them walked away and disappeared into the swirling snow.

"Ed! Double D!" called Eddy. "Don't leave! Spirit! Tell me that these things can be changed! I'll change! I'll play Scrooge! I'll go to Calvin's party and get as many people as I can to come with me! I'll help Johnny find Plank! I'll celebrate Christmas and I won't do such dangerous scams!"

Future handed Eddy a note. It said, "Well, there's only one way to get you back."

"What's that?" asked Eddy. The spirit kicked Eddy, who flew off into the distance. "STUPID CHARLES DICKENS STORY!"

Once Eddy was gone, the ghost took off his hood to reveal...Yeshmiyek the Christmas Troll?

Future was a hard one to cast. Back when this started outas a"Calvin at Camp" story, it was played by the "Invader Zim" character, Minimoose (Zim and he rest were soon dropped when I realized I couldn't write forthem at all). He was changed to Plank, Woodstock, and Snoopy. Finally, I settled upon the Christmas Troll who brings food to all the good males and females!
