The next day is December 22.

"Is everything ready?" Santa asked.

"As it'll ever be." Alfred replied. "We got the reindeer hitched up. Are the princess and her husband ready?"

"Yes. I just woke them up."

Rapunzel and Eugene appear in their common attire and are yawning and tired.

"Does it have to be so late?" Rapunzel asked with a yawn. "It's only 5:00 PM."

"Well, we do have to get ready." Eugene answered. "We just need to get that amulet onto McCopper."

"You two remember the strategy we went over?" Santa asked.

"Of course we remember." Rapunzel replied. "I absorb information like a sponge."

"Great." Santa replied and then turned to a female elf. "Grace, go to the diagnostics room and start up the Snowveillance Globe. We'll need to guide these people throughout their mission."

Grace obeyed and headed to the diagnostics room. Alfred sighs in joy.

"Alfred, are you okay?" Dougie asked.

"Oh, uh, nothing." Alfred responded with a chuckle.

"Why were you looking at Grace with joy? It was almost like... there was something about her."

"That's none of your concern, snowflake! Now shoo and get the sleigh ready for takeoff."

"It's already ready."

"JUST GO!"

"Okay, okay!" Dougie runs off.


Later that evening, in McCopper's hometown, Henry is driving Scrooge's carriage with Scrooge riding in it, heading towards McCopper's mansion. "We're almost home, sir."

"Good. This work session was exhausting! I had a difficult time avoiding all those lawsuits against me from those ungrateful workers." Scrooge said. "I'm surprised John wasn't among them. But, oddly, his wife was."

"Perhaps he knew better than to challenge you and desired to avoid risking his job, or simply budget concerns. You know how his wife feels about you."

"Either way, I appreciate his obedience. James, on the other hand... I don't know. I'm worried he would seek out my life one of these days."

"Oh, it's just the stress talking, sir. James is no murderer."

"I meant he would sue me and ultimately win. Either way, I'm happy I haven't lost anything in their lawsuits." Scrooge gets out of the carriage once it reaches the mansion. "And now that my day is over, I can finally get some rest. Darwin was right, the deal we have just made will make history. I will finally do the thing that my deceased friends failed to accomplish: make this business the best in town."

"Very good, sir." Henry sighs. "Yet, don't you think that lawsuits indicate that your business is one step into becoming not the best, but the worst?"

"The lawsuits don't bother me. At least my company never lost any money whatsoever. Once this deal with Darwin's store chain is finished, and the supply and demand is supplied and demanded, and my curse consumes the entire world, my quest will be completed. And not even Christmas, with all its joy and family bull crap interfering, it will be sweetened." They enter the mansion. Then McCopper enters his room and looks into his magic mirror to make sure the curse is still going.

The mirror shows the still possessed king, queen, guards and servants returning to their castle after causing mischief and spreading the curse, putting other people under his control.

"Ahh, that was fun!" King Frederic exclaimed ecstatically. "I so enjoyed causing mischief today. Who knew it could be this much fun?"

"Did you see how I pulled that guy's pants up while he was about to so pee?" Queen Arianna and her husband laughed.

"And remember when I demolished a child's snowman creativity?" A guard asked. They laughed.

"We should do this more often." A servant remarked.

McCopper chuckles evilly after witnessing this.

Just outside the mansion, Santa's sleigh appears with Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Alfred and the reindeer on it. It lands with McCopper nearly noticing.

"So, this is the place, huh?" Rapunzel asked.

"Yep. McCopper Manor, in all its sepia tone." Alfred answered. "Anyway, it's almost 9:00. We have to get the amulet on him by that time or it won't work and it'll be all over. By this time, McCopper will be ready to go to sleep. That's when we can put the Amulet on him. And I have it right here." He shows them a dark red box and opens it, revealing a pearly white and dark red amulet with a dark red ruby in the middle. It glows in white magic as the three are astonished by its beauty.

"Wow. It looks lovely." Eugene said.

"Yes. We crafted it with the upmost care, and as with all jeweled artifacts, the jewel in question is what gives it it's power."

"And we have to sneak this onto McCopper's neck?" Rapunzel asked with worry. "What if he notices it?"

"Worry not, the amulet can only be touched by pure-hearted nice people." Alfred reassured. "Naughty people will just be magically trapped inside presents just like the shield. It's magic proof. Once it is worn, nobody will be able to see or touch it until its job is completed. After that, it can be easily removed."

"Well, we need to keep this mission as quiet and gentle as possible." Eugene whispered.

"Well, it's easy. We just follow the strategy that Santa and..." Alfred shivers softly. "Grace went over with us, and we'll be able to get this over with. Keep in mind that the amulet will take a day for it to come into effect, but with the amulet's magic, nothing can stop it unless it is prevented from being worn. But given how much time it takes for it to work, perhaps we'll be lucky that the Weasley Brothers will appear and warn him about the visits."

"Well, that's great." Rapunzel said softly. "Do we have those coal launchers Santa gave us?"

"Well, given how much our plan was thought through, coal launchers would make some noise, which we have to tone down on this mission."

"Then let's get started."

Inside the mansion, McCopper is reading a book in his bedroom.

"Ohh, I didn't know hiring non-union workers guarantees more money. Wait...I did! That's why I fired all the union workers. HA! One of the finest things I did all day." he chuckled. "My business just gets better and better every day."

Rapunzel sees him through the window. "Alfred, should we put the amulet on him now?"

"Yes, but keep quiet." Alfred answered. "We can't let them know we're here because a simple yell can mean mission failure."

The princess gives Pascal the amulet as she said to him, "Pascal, you're best at keeping quiet and turning invisible when we played hide and seek. So it'd be best if you put the amulet on him."

Pascal nodded in response.

Two minutes later, McCopper has fallen asleep in his chair as Pascal is seen inside, and stretches his tongue carrying the amulet towards Scrooge.

"No, I don't believe in loans, they just take away money." McCopper mumbled in his sleep as Pascal slowly manages to slip the amulet onto his neck. The chameleon heads for the exit, but trips on the man's staff that was lying on the floor and let out a loud squeak.

McCopper wakes up from the noise. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" he yelled.

Pascal quickly hides behind the counter and changes his skin color to blend in, hiding from plain sight.

Scrooge looks around to see nothing as the amulet disappears and turns invisible. "Hmmph! Humbug!" He slowly gets up and stretches. "I need a drink." He walks out of his bedroom and when he is gone, Pascal gets out of hiding, sneaks out of a slightly open window and goes outside.

Scrooge goes into the kitchen, gets a drink of warm milk and leaves.

"Perfect timing because it's now 9:00." Alfred said after Pascal returns to Rapunzel's shoulder. "The amulet is about to work Those Weasley ghosts will be here any minute. We'll have to watch the whole thing and see if it goes smoothly."

"Good point." Rapunzel said.

McCopper was on his chair on the verge of sleeping after finishing his milk. "I could've sworn I heard something in the living room. Oh, it was probably just a tiny scream for help again. BAH! Like it shall help. There'll be no one to help whoever made that slight noise. Now to get some shut eye-" Just when he was about to fall asleep, a bell chime was heard on a clock. "WHAT THE?! Oh, whew! It was just the clock. I thought someone naughty was gonna come up and snap my neck, or something..."

He suddenly gets puzzled by the spooky vibe around him, and he looks around for a bit with a lit candle. He goes downstairs and hears the sounds of chains rustling. "What was that sound?" He looks around and sees nothing. He shrugs as he tries to go back to bed and then the sound is heard again. "ALRIGHT, WHO'S SCREWING AROUND WITH ME?!" He shrugs. "You'd better leave. I have a shotgun!" Suddenly, the doorbell rings again on its own, much to the man's shock. He chuckles. "Okay, that's probably just the wind."

"SCROOGE MCCOPPER!" A voice called.

"And apparently, it knows my name!" Once the doorbell stops ringing, the fire on his candle blows out on its own, causing him to gulp in fear. "Okay, whoever's doing that, CUT IT OUT! I'll call the authorities if this continues!" Nothing was heard. "Hmph! Just as I suspected, hooligans." He returns to his chair. "Can't they learn for once that I am just an old person? Lousy trespassers thinking it's funny to make me think that I'm being haunted by-" Suddenly, the bell begins ringing again on its own, much to Scrooge's shock. Once the ringing stops, the fire and the candlelight begins dimming out until it's gone. "What's going on here. This is some kind of elaborate prank devised by a pranking show? I'll sue their company owner to cancel them out of existence!" The scary vide wears off and the old man scoffs. "Of course, it's the side effects of my anti-depressants medication."

"OH NO, IT'S NOT!" Suddenly, two ghosts appear from through the wall, and they are both the same as the men on McCopper's portrait at the buiding, only their heads are tied up with cloths, and over a dozen chains are attached to them with money boxes. The two laugh crazily.

"GHOSTS!" McCopper screams like a girl as he hides under his chair.

"What's with him?" one of the men asked.

"Maybe it's those 'medications' he mentioned." the other answered.

"I don't think it's the medications." They both laugh like crazy.

"Alan? Drakey? Is that you?" Scrooge asked as he got a closer look at them.

"Well, who did you expect?" Alan answered.

"As if they weren't dead enough many times before." Drakey said and they both laugh.

"What are you guys doing here and... why do you look so horrible?" McCopper asked as Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal and Alfred watch the whole thing from out the window.

"That's precisely what we're here to tell you, Scrooge." Alan answered. "We're here to bring you a word of warning about what you're doing." Then they break into song.

Both: We're Weasley and Weasley. Avarice and greed.

Alan: We took advantage of the poor. Just ignored the needy.

Both: We specialized in causing pain, spreading fear and doubt.

Drakey: And if you could not pay the rent, we simply threw you out. There was the year we evicted the entire orphanage!

Alan: I remember the little tykes all standing in the snow bank.

Drake: With their little frostbitten teddy bears! Both laughed, but then their money boxes roared at them, causing the two to shudder.

Both: We're Weasley and Weasley. Our hearts were painted black.

Alan: We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles

Both: Captive, bound, we're double-ironed, exhausted by the weight

Alan: As freedom comes from giving love

Drakey: So, prison comes with hate

Both: We're Weasley and Weasley. Whoooooo! We're Weasley and Weasley. Whoooooo!

"But my friends, you were not unfeeling towards Christmas time. You know how much it threatens the company we built together." McCopper spoke up.

"You're right, there was this one thing about Christmas Alan and I liked." Drakey said.

"And that was getting filthy stinky rich of course!" Alan declared. They both laughed, but the money boxes growled at them. "Oops, sorry. Let's just get to the point!

"Point? What point?" McCopper asked.

Both: Doomed, Scrooge! You're doomed for all time!

Drakey: Your future is a horror story, written by your crime

Both: Your chains are forged by what you say and do.

Money boxes: So, have your fun; when life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

McCopper becomes frightened when chains wrap around him. "My God, what are these dreadful, monstrous chains?" he asked.

"Oooooh, the chains." Drakey moaned. "I hate them so much!"

"McCopper, do you remember how we died?" Alan asked.

"You were touched by a homeless poison dart frog?" McCopper answered.

"And remember EXACTLY what we did to him?" Drakey answered.

"Yeah. You stole some birthday money from him claiming that 'it will show that his parents will know not to steal money from a toy company'? You took their home and claimed it as a toy factory too. It really had me rolling on the floor."

"Well, he had a good reason to kill us!" Alan lectured. "We were WRONG! We forged these heavy chains in life by our sins, hatred for Christmas and acts of greed! And so as punishment, we must carry them FOR ETERNITY!"

"If I recall correctly, you'll wear such a massive chain yourself right now for what you did to your nephew." Drakey declared. "You even made it GROW by casting that curse of yours on the king, queen and citizens of the kingdom of Corona who have done nothing to you in your entire life!"

"There's no hope for us anymore! We are unable to remove these chains literally! They magically bonded them to us. We're DOOMED! DOOMED, I TELL YOU!"

"And the same thing will happen to YOU, Scrooge McCopper!"

"Only, they'll be worse. MUCH worse!"

"No! NO! IT CAN'T! IT JUST CAN'T!" McCopper protested.

"You know, it may be too late for us, but it's not too late for you to undo what you did to the only family member who showed ANY sympathy for you." Drakey said. "We have come to warn you that you still have one chance of escaping your hatred of Christmas, the monster you turned yourself into, and save you from suffering our fate when death awaits!" One of the money boxes on their chains pops a clock out. "Oh, poop-sticks! The chains are pulling us back!"

"No! NO, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! YOU MUST TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO! DON'T LEAVE ME TO BE LIKE YOU!"

"Before you finish your blind ambitions to destroy Christmas forever, you will be haunted by three spirits!" Alan declared.

"Haunted?!" Scrooge shouted. "Haven't I had enough of that for once?!"

"Without these visits, you can never hope to make amends to everyone for just trying to get rid of a holiday everyone loves, and escape the path we tread!"

"Expect the first ghost tomorrow night at 10:00 PM!" Drakey lectured.

"Can't I just meet them all at once and get it over with?" McCopper asked.

"It doesn't work like that! Spirits need prep time too, you know!" Alan said. "Be ready for hell at 10:00 PM tomorrow night!"

"We don't have much time left!" Drakey warned. "These are our final words of warning to you. So listen to the spirits! Do what they say! Make amends to your nephew or your chains will be heavier and longer than ours!" This caused McCopper to gulp in fear. Then the two finished their song.

"We're Weasley and Weasley. Whoooooo. We're Weasley and Weasley. Whoooooo. Change!"

"I can't let this happen! I need to ghost-proof this place!" Scrooge panicked and then used his magical staff to cast a ghost-proof magic shield around the entire manor. "There! This shield is at level 69. No ghost will be able to get through. I am looking forward to a rather peaceful experience. Though , it doesn't seem to make me feel any safer. Oh, calm yourself, McCopper! You'll probably get over it by tomorrow!" He falls asleep in his bed as this was all seen by Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal and Alfred.

"Uh... is he supposed to put up an impenetrable shield around his house to protect himself from ghosts?" Rapunzel asked.

Alfred clicks his tongue. "He actually thinks a magic shield can protect himself from Level 995 spirits. He has no idea that spirits that have been around for centuries have a very large magic level. Even the shields will not protect him."

"Well, that's good." Eugene said. "He should be in for a surprise."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Rapunzel spoke up. "Let's get to the North Pole." They all get in the sleigh.

"Alright, reindeer, we're off!" Alfred commanded the reindeer and they took off into the night.


Well, our heroes were lucky to have gotten the amulet on McCopper. And man, is he gonna get it when he finds out that the spirits cannot be restrained. Nobody will be able to see or touch the amulet for the remainder of the next day, not even with magic. It will become visible and touchable again when the job is done.

The song that Alan and Drakey Weasley sang is a parody to "Marley and Marley" from Disney's "The Muppet Christmas Carol".
