Chapter 6: Later Never Comes:
Scrooge's POV:
I then left Fezziwig after Jacob Marley took me as his partner. He was a cruel and rotten man, and I learned a lot from him. Belle saw us shut down a baker. I then took a look at the baker's son and realized... the baker was Bob Cratchit's Father!
. . .
"Ebenezer, don't you think you've done enough," asks Belle.
"Nonsense," I said.
I was more focused on work then Belle.
Belle: When we first met
Your heart was free
Your hopeful eyes
Saw only me
Now you're looking for something
Something I can never be
When you are really
All I need
You keep on telling me "later"
But "later" never comes around
Please stop telling me "later"
As you search for what just can't be found
Take my hand
Come with me now and we'll fly free
No more "later", we both know that's a lie
Don't let be this the day I say
Goodbyе
Goodbye
Scrooge: When you met hеr
You were set free
Her love for you
Was plain to see
You kept looking for something
A measure of security
But she was really
All you'd need
You kept on telling her "later"
But "later" never comes around
Please stop telling her "later"
Stop searching for what can't be found
Take her hand
Go with her now and you'll fly free
No more "later", we both know that's a lie
This will be the day she says
Scrooge: Goodbye (Belle: Goodbye)
Scrooge: Goodbye! (Belle: Goodbye!)
And she left me. I then looked at my younger self. I was about to attack him, but then it all disappeared.
"Time to go home," says Past.
"Spirit, wait-"
. . .
Prudence and I were then back in my room. Prudence then picks up something and runs out. I decided to follow her.
