The three girls and Teddy fell asleep until their window opened to show the Spirit of Christmas Past with her Pokemon.
"Oh, you all aren't Eden." the spirit noticed.
"Common mistake, we'll take you to her, as long as we can come with you." Estelle replied.
"Oh, of course you can." The spirit smiled.
Estelle soon looked at who was next to the spirit to see what Pokemon it had. There was a small puppy dog like Pokemon with the spirit.
"Aw, he's so cute~" Estelle cooed to the puppy-like Pokemon.
"What kind of Pokemon is he?" Jenny asked.
"This is a Lillipup." Estelle smiled.
"He is as adorable as Sultan." Felicity cooed.
The puppy Pokemon smiled to their compliments.
"Come, follow us to Eden." Estelle told the Spirit of Christmas Past.
"Thank you, dear." the spirit smiled.
Teddy soon began to play with the Spirit of Christmas Past's Lillipup.
"That is just too cute for words~" Estelle gushed at the adorableness.
"Oh, I know." The Spirit of Christmas Past agreed.
The fun had to end which made the Lillipup and Teddy pout, but they had a job to do.
The clock struck 12:00 for Eden and the spirit used her powers to wake up the diva woman. And where at first she thought it was her cat. Lillipup resisted the urge to chase Chuzzlewit.
"Oh, I had the strangest dream last night." Eden sighed as she finally woke up.
"Really?" the Christmas spirit replied. "I'd love to hear all about it!"
This caused Eden to scream out of fright and got out of her bed and saw the girls and Teddy in her room, she was too in surprise to care that she was in her room so she put them behind her. "Who are you?!" she then demanded.
"Why, the Spirit of Christmas Past, of course, and this is Lillipup!" the ghost replied. "Didn't your Aunt Marie tell you I was coming?"
"It's true, Ms. Starling." Felicity said.
"Oh, not this again." Eden sighed.
"And look at her pet." Jenny said.
"Howdy!" Lillipup smiled up to Eden.
"Oh, you have a kitty!" the spirit beamed to Chuzzlewit and then used her magic to make the cat float so she could pet him.
And where this seemed to freak him out as he woke up to see he was floating.
"Oh, you are the cutest thing~" the spirit cooed to the chubby cat.
"Is this another nightmare?" Eden wondered.
"Nope." Estelle shook her head.
"Oh, you're silly," the spirit giggled. "I've come to take you to... Oh! Where did I put that note?"
Lillipup quietly whimpered and held the note in his mouth for her.
"Oh, thank you, Lillipup." The spirit giggled.
Lillipup smiled back up to his ghostly mistress.
"I'm here to take you to your girlhood." the spirit then told Eden.
"This should be fun." Jenny smiled.
"Going back to the past," Estelle nodded. "Why did I hear that in Aunt Applejack's voice?" She then muttered to herself.
"My girlhood? Oh, I don't think that's such a good-" Eden started.
The spirit took her hand and pulled her away anyway. The girls and Teddy followed so they could also see Eden's past. Lillipup soon brought Chuzzlewit with them.
"Okay, so, I didn't want to say anything at first, but I have to tell you," the spirit of Christmas Past laughed eagerly to Eden. "I'm a huge fan of yours! Maybe the hugest! And I just love your voice, especially when you sing Christmas carols. Oh, I was like... I mean... I was like... Heavenly chimes, that's what it is! Oh, and it's such an honor to... Oh! I'm sorry. Uh, is it odd for you that I'm such a huge fan?"
"That's not the part that's odd for me." Eden deadpanned.
"Anyway, which part of her past are we going into?" Jenny asked.
"When she was very young and raised by her aunt." Christmas Past replied.
They came into the past only to find young Eden sitting in a quiet room and there wasn't anything that showed that it was Christmas, it seemed to be a normal any other day of the year.
"Huh? Are you sure you sent us to the right time?" Felicity asked.
"But it can't be," Christmas Past frowned. "There's no tree, no stockings, no presents, no decorations.," she then gasped once she saw Chuzzlewit trying to get Young Eden's food and quickly grabbed him. "Oh... You poor thing..."
"Ms. Starling, was this how you always spent Christmas?" Estelle frowned.
"Aunt Marie should be here any minute if this is true." Eden replied.
Chuzzlewit soon slid past the food as he hit the floor. Teddy giggled quietly.
"Eden?" An older female voice called.
"That must be Marie." Jenny suggested.
And where she was right as Aunt Marie and her Delcatty came in.
"I'm all done, Aunt Marie," Young Eden rushed over with her finished food. "Can I go over to the Beadnell's house?"
"Of course not," Aunt Marie reminded her niece. "After dinner, we rehearse."
"I know, but I thought we could... Maybe make an exception today... Because it's Christmas!" Young Eden replied, she sounded cheerful and hopeful. "They all said they'd really love to see me there. Catherine even said it'd make her Christmas."
Delcatty was now growling as it didn't seem to like that suggestion.
"Make her Christmas? Make her Christmas? What about your Christmas?" Aunt Marie mocked. "More importantly, what about your future? You want to be a star, don't you?"
"I do, but-" Young Eden started before a kitten-like Pokemon got on her lap.
"Aw! You had a Skitty?" Estelle smiled at Eden.
"I guess I forgot about that." Eden replied.
"More than anything else in the world?" Aunt Marie asked.
"Yes, but-" Young Eden held her Skitty for protection.
"Then, what Catherine and the Beadnells want doesn't matter," Aunt Marie huffed. "What do I always tell you?"
"'In a selfish world, the selfish succeed'." Young Eden recited with a sigh.
Skitty sighed as she didn't like how Aunt Marie was treating her. Young Eden frowned as she cuddled her Skitty. Skitty soon started to nuzzle up to her young mistress.
"That's right," Aunt Marie told her young niece. "And if you want to succeed, you must use every second of your time selfishly."
Delcatty seemed to hiss at Skitty. Skitty seemed scared of Delcatty and huddled up to her young mistress even if she could see the others while everyone else couldn't.
"Yes, Aunt Marie." Young Eden sighed as she held Skitty comfortably.
"Good choice, I'm proud of you," Aunt Marie replied before leaving with Delcatty. "Now go work on your scales until dinner's ready."
Young Eden soon left the room with her Skitty to work on her scales. She then looked out the window to see her friend's house and then sadly kept walking away as she did what her aunt had asked her to do.
"I remember, I did used to have a Skitty; she was the only one that cared how I felt in the whole house, especially around Christmas time." Eden frowned.
"Okay, I know it's devastatingly sad that this is how you're celebrating Christmas," Christmas Past said before laughing, she wasn't making fun of Eden, but it was her jovial nature. "But I can't even tell you what a thrill it is to hear Eden Starling, the early years! I mean, am I lucky or what?" she then laughed again.
Young Eden soon stopped and looked to her Skitty.
"Uh, why did you stop, Ms. Starling?" Jenny asked as she noticed Young Eden had stopped playing the piano as well as stopped working on her scales.
"You'll see." Eden smiled.
Skitty soon walked to the door and tried to look and see if Aunt Marie and Delcatty were asleep.
"Come on!" Christmas Past suggested.
Skitty then gave a signal to Young Eden to show that Aunt Marie and Delcatty were asleep, so that was their cue to sneak out of the house. And where Young Eden and Skitty soon snuck out of the house. Christmas Past then took them outside to follow Young Eden and Skitty. And where the two of them slid off on a sled.
"Oh, this is so much fun," Christmas Past smiled. "Did you do this all the time?"
"As often as I could." Eden sighed.
Young Eden and Skitty soon got off their sled. They made it to the Beadnell's house. Young Eden giggled once she saw the snowman as she picked up Skitty and came to see her dear old friend Catherine. Skitty was excited that it wanted to knock on the door. Young Eden giggled. Skitty knocked on the door with its paws.
Young Catherine answered the door and gasped with a delighted smile. "Eden, I'm so glad you made it!"
Skitty soon mewed out.
"Oh, and you brought Skitty!" Young Catherine beamed and picked up the feline Pokemon.
Skitty soon purred as she nuzzled her young mistress's best friend.
"I can't believe I'm back here," Eden commented. "This was my favorite place in the world. I remember... Oh!" she then accidentally fell right through the wall.
"Uh-oh, looks like we forgot to mention about that part." Estelle said.
"Oopsy, I guess you should know, we float through walls." Christmas Past told Eden.
"And where no human can see or hear us." Jenny added.
"It's the law of the ghost,... Unless you're... What's his name? Inviso-Bill?" Felicity added.
"Danny Phantom." Estelle corrected.
"Yeah, him." Jenny said.
"Ooh, a party!" Christmas Past noticed which made the girls and Teddy take a look inside the house.
"Gingerbread," Eden smiled. "Ah, it's wonderful, isn't it?"
Lillipup looked like he wanted to try some of the cookies, but then he remembered about being a ghost.
"Don't worry, Lillipup, I'll give you some treats when we're done here." Christmas Past soothed her Pokemon.
Lillipup smiled up to his mistress. Christmas Past smiled back and cuddled with her Lillipup.
"Looks like a lot of fun, Ms. Starling." Jenny said as she watched Young Eden having fun with Young Catherine and their friends, especially with Skitty.
Young Eden and Skitty soon saw their two stockings hung up with the rest of the Beadnells' stockings. It was a very beautiful and wonderful sight despite the current Eden Starling being a grouchy, selfish Scrooge.
"You put up mine and Skitty's stockings." Young Eden smiled at Young Catherine.
Skitty smiled up to Young Catherine for the kind gesture.
"They always did." Eden smiled at the scene.
"We always do," Young Catherine smiled to her best friend. "And have you noticed the pile of presents under the tree?"
Skitty soon rushed over to the presents with the girls to see how many presents there were.
"I think there's more for you and Skitty than me and Nell this year." Young Catherine giggled.
"Nell?" Jenny asked.
"How is Nell by the way?" Young Eden asked.
Before anything else could be said or done, Mrs. Beadnell was coming with a bowl of snickerdoodles.
"Snickerdoodles~" Estelle cooed.
"Your favorite?" Eden smiled.
"Uh-huh." Estelle nodded.
An older man who looked like he could be Young Catherine's grandfather began to try to take a taste of the snickerdoodles cookie dough as a familiar green spider Pokemon began to scurry to the bowl.
"No, it's just for Eden to taste." Mrs. Beadnell chuckled.
"Aw! That be Nell." Felicity smiled as Nell scurried up to Young Catherine.
Young Catherine giggled to Nell. Young Eden then tried some of the cookies.
"Well?" Mrs. Beadnell smiled to her daughter's good friend.
"Snickerdoodles." Young Eden smiled once she recognized the taste.
"Your favorite cookie!" Mrs. Beadnell smiled back. "Which makes you an expert. What do you think?"
"Best I've ever tried." Young Eden beamed.
"Kiss-up." Young Catherine teased.
The two girls soon giggled.
A puppy soon came in the room and where it soon sniffed something and looked to see not the usual Pokemon, but Chuzzlewit, Teddy, and Lillipup and began to run and bark at the three. Chuzzlewit jumped into Eden's arms while Teddy hid behind Estelle slightly.
"I thought you said we couldn't be seen or heard?" Jenny looked up to Christmas Past in confusion.
"I was just about to ask that." Eden looked at Christmas Past.
"People can't, but animals are more sensitive." Christmas Past explained.
"Ohh." The girls said, understanding now.
"Boz, there's nothing there," Mrs. Beadnell gently scolded the dog. "No more barking at shadows or we'll put you outside."
Chuzzlewit then mocked the dog with a smug smirk. Teddy soon kept Chuzzlewit's mouth shut. Chuzzlewit then glared at the Teddiursa.
"Boz, no." Mrs. Beadnell warned the dog.
"Here." Young Catherine handed a present to Young Eden.
Young Eden soon opened the present as Skitty was curious about what was inside. It was a snow globe which looked a lot like the one Barbie had in her bedroom.
Young Eden gasped and then wound up the snow globe and it even played O Christmas Tree which made her heart melt. "O Christmas Tree." she smiled as she had guessed the song.
"Because you sing it so beautifully," Young Catherine smiled. "It made me think of you."
"Oh, Catherine, thank you, I love it," Young Eden smiled before frowning. "But me and Skitty couldn't bring a gift for you or for your family or Nell."
"Are you kidding? You're both here," Young Catherine replied. "That's enough."
"I really love it." Young Eden then smiled again.
"I'm really glad, come on!" Young Catherine replied and pulled her friend away as Skitty and Nell followed them afterwards.
Chuzzlewit and Boz then snarled at each other again.
"Boz, that's it, out with you!" Mrs. Beadnell scolded and took the dog outside.
"Chuzzlewit!" Teddy glared.
Chuzzlewit smirked and tried to get the food, but he was still unable to.
