Here's a comment about Scrooge McCopper to start off this third chapter. I can imagine him talking in Kelsey Grammer's voice because Kelsey Grammer would be the perfect voice actor for McCopper.
At Santa Claus's workshop at the North Pole, Santa's elves were busy making toys as usual. The head elf runs towards Santa's office while Santa was sleeping, and the elf burst in, scaring Santa to fall through the floor.
"Santa! I've got urgent news!" the head elf shouted.
"Ho-ho-holy jingle bells, what is it, Alfred?" Santa asked as he gets himself unstuck from the floor. "And how many times have I told you to knock?"
"It's the naughty list! Guess who made top-dog again for the umpteenth time in the row?" Alfred shows the naughty list, and Santa looks at the top and sees Scrooge McCopper's name on the top.
"Great galloping fruitcake, Scrooge McCopper has made the top of the naughty list AGAIN?!" Santa exclaimed in shock, then sighs. "What is this world coming to? What naughty deed did that poor bloke do this time?"
"Recently or in the past?" Alfred asked.
"Recently."
"Well, first, he had security guards throw two donation guys face first into the snow after giving them... er... the hand, I guess? Then he reacted angrily to his own nephew, despite keeping his cool. I've never seen him that scroogy before."
Santa sighs. "He still hasn't learned the true meaning of Christmas, has he?" He checks the nice list and finds Rapunzel and Eugene's names by order on the top. "Alfred, find Teddy and Dougie and tell them to go the kingdom of Corona to pick up Princess Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert. Oh, and while you're at it, get my wife to make refreshments. We're going to have some company."
"Uh, why do you want us to get Rapunzel?" Alfred asked.
"Well, I gotta talk to her and Eugene about McCopper and that terrible scroogy spell of his."
"Say no more, Santa! Oh, and uh, who's coming for dinner?"
"It will just be Rapunzel and Eugene for today, Alfred."
"ON IT!" Alfred zooms off in unbelievable speeds.
Back at Copper and Weasley Toys HQ, Sylvia knocks on McCopper's office door. "Sir, one of your employees requests a meeting with you." she said.
"Which one?" McCopper asked.
"John, sir."
"Send him in." Scrooge starts to get curious as John enters the office. "Well, if it isn't my absolute favorite employee, John. What brings you to my office?"
"Well, senior, I want to talk business with you." John answered.
"Business?" Scrooge asked with surprise.
"Well, the other employees and I were wondering-"
"Yes?"
"Well, as you know, since Christmas is four days away and we know you don't like Christmas and what it did to you in the past, and we mean no disrespect bringing that up to you again because of it, but we were wondering if we could have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off?"
"Well... I suppose so. But I'll have to duct you and the other employees half of next week's pay right after you receive your Christmas bonuses."
"NO!" a voice came from the door. The two looked to see other employees at the front door.
"Awkward." James said nervously.
"Well, if that's really what you want, then fine!" McCopper declared. "You beloved employees can all take Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off but be back here on Boxing Day and work 24 hours to make up for the two missed days and your pay ducts."
"Well, thanks, senior." John said. "I thought you were gonna try to trick us into changing our minds-"
"Sylvia, put the 'Help Wanted' sign back up." McCopper said to his secretary. "I think our entire staff mysteriously vanished into thin air."
"We'll be back on Boxing Day and make up for our pay ducts, sir." one of the employees said.
"Absolutely." James agreed as the other employees nod in agreement.
"I knew you would." McCopper chuckled. Then he goes back to counting his profits. "I certainly did."
Back at Santa's workshop, Alfred summoned a fat and skinny elf. "Alright, Teddy and Dougie. Front and center! I have an urgent mission for you both."
"What's that?" asked Teddy the fat elf.
"We got a serious problem regarding Scrooge McCopper who made top dog o the naughty list, for the umpteenth time in a row."
"Again?"
"What did that stingy grouch do to get Top Dog this time?" asked Dougie the skinny elf.
"You mean recently, right?" Alfred asked.
"Yep. Fire away, Alfred."
"First off, he had two donation guys tossed out face in snow after giving him "the hand", then he got angry at his nephew for trying to invite for a Christmas party, as well as counts of being too bossy to his employees, but that's his common offense, you boys are aware of that, right? Our main concern is what I meant first and second."
"Of course, so what is the plan?" Teddy asked.
"Santa wants us to bring Princess Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert to him so the big man can warn them about McCopper."Alfred said.
"So you want us to get the sleigh hitch up the reindeer, get Rapunzel and Eugene and bring them here?" Dougie asked.
"Yeah, that's the idea in a nutshell." Alfred answered.
"Alright, we'll pick those two up and bring them to Santa. Let's get the team."
At the reindeer stables, eight reindeer are seen in their feeding pens as the three elves appeared.
"ATTEN-TION!" Alfred shouted like a drill sergeant. The reindeer got up in a military stand pose.
"Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Blitzen, and yours truly, reporting for duty, Alfred!" Donner exclaimed.
"We have an important mission to complete!"
"Afraid, what is big problem?"
"Short and simple, McCopper is top dog on the Naughty List, and Santa thinks he may be on the verge to be a serious problem. We're all aware that he's a toy owner who learned how to wield terrible magic from a book of spells he found in a basement. If mad enough, he can use a powerful spell that can turn anyone just like him. More along the lines of being a Scrooge! Specifically, a person who hates Christmas. He knows a spell that can turn anyone who's heart is not pure enough and the weak-minded into Scrooges. However, it has drawbacks. One, it goes away after Christmas. And does anyone know the greatest drawback of all?"
"It's a rare spell only the strongest warlock knows?" Teddy asks unsurely.
"Close, but no!" Alfred declared and then said to the reindeer. "Any of you?"
The other reindeer except Cupid and Donner just shrugged 'I don't know'.
"Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out. Anyway, we need you eight to help us find two people and bring them to Santa. You might know them by Rapunzel and Eugene. Let's move out!"
Later on, the elves are flying on the sleigh being pulled by the reindeer.
"So, how far is the kingdom of Corona?" Teddy asked.
"Let me check the map." Alfred answered as he searches his pockets for the map. "If I could just find it in my pockets."
Well, looks like we finally got to Scrooge McCopper's scheming of his evil plot to ruin Christmas. He's planning to cast a spell that he learned from a book of spells that'll turn everyone into Christmas haters.
See you in the next chapter. T.T.F.N. Ta-ta for now!
