Chapter 3: The Rugrats:
Angelica's POV:
Mr. Screwloose wants me to help spray peoples with his bad stuff. They get naughty, Santa gives them coal, and they hate Santa. That'll show him. If I can't have presents, then no one can! I then ran around, spraying kids.
Elmer Scrooge's POV:
This will show them all that Christmas is a waste of time! People think I'm the problem. I'm not the problem. It's everyone else!
Elmer Scrooge: I live in land of nincompoops
I curse them everyone
So feverishly devoted to their laughter and their fun
I never had fun or laughter, and, you see, I turned out fine
That's why my little scheme is so divine
Chorus: Oh, what a Scrooge that Elmer is
Elmer Scrooge: Ah, yes
Chorus: His personality is hideous
Elmer Scrooge: Oh, thank you so much.
Chorus: We agree that he's a miserable gent
They say he's very soul is bent
Elmer Scrooge: Each winter I'm filled with nausea
Imagining... ugh... the toys
Constructing threatening quantities
For screeching girls and boys
This holiday, they'll discover
Only the rug beneath the tree
Because I'm going to make every child naughty
HA!
Chorus: Oh, what a Scrooge that Elmer is
It's kinda if he's immorally eschewed
True affection tends to make him very ill
For hatred is his greatest thrill
Elmer Scrooge: Oh, yes, I'll crush the toys to rubble
Burst their little bubble
Make this jolly land a place they want to leave
I'll fill the streets with quicksand
Santa's sleigh with bricks, and
I'll have myself a merry Christmas Eve
My gas is almost ready, Santa! Your days are numbered!
I'll rid them of every playthings
Oh, it thrills to my bones
No Red Rubber Balls, No Dainty Dolls, No Tiny Telephones
If I did without such rubbish, then why should everyone miss one?
We'll live in a toy-less world at last. Ha-rah!
Hit it, boys!
Chorus: Oh, what a Scrooge that Elmer is
Elmer Scrooge: Indescribably.
Chorus: There's no point of view more venomous than his
Elmer Scrooge: You're so quick to notice.
Chorus: 'Tis no lie that he's a truly nasty guy
He never had a toy, that's why
Oh, what a Scrooge that Elmer is
Elmer Scrooge: Undeniably!
Chorus: There's nothing more warped than his philosophy
Elmer Scrooge: Not even remotely close!
Chorus: We can plainly see why his unpopularity's so huge
What a snot-ball!
That Elmer is one heck of a Scrooge!
Angelica's POV:
I sprayed so many kids with this stuff. "Come on, Prancy," I said, "let's get those dumb babies!"
Just as I was about to spray them... I tripped and the bottle broke. "That figures," I said.
"Angelica, why is everyone being so mean," asks Tommy.
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... it doesn't matter," I said, "because if everyone's being so mean, then Santa won't deliver any more presents and Christmas is going to be canceled!"
"No Christmas," asks Dil.
"But we've been good all year," says Kimi.
"Them's the breaks," I said. I then walked away.
Tommy's POV:
"What do we do," asks Chuckie.
"We gotta get these peoples to be nice," I said, "come on!"
. . .
We were walking and everyone was being mean to each other.
"It's like they all woke up on the wrong side of the bread," says Phil.
"Maybe they didn't get enough sleep," says Lil.
"I found a sponge," says Kimi.
"That's not going to help," I said.
"I'm keeping it anyway," says Kimi.
"Look, it's Santa's sack," says Chuckie.
"That is going to help," I said, "the presents might still be around! We can save Christmas!"
"Hey," says Angelica, revealing she haven't really left, "I think Santa's workshop is that way!"
"Thanks," I said. We then left in that direction.
. . .
I found a giant walnut," says Chuckie. We're then faced with a giant toy soldier. He didn't look happy. We backed away, but then there were these big mice that were attacking. Kimi charges at the mice, but Chuckie tried to protect her. Dil grabbed on to a mouse's tail. Phil and Lil then took a shoe and ribbon from a ballerina. The giant soldier then protects us from the mice, and we go down a slide.
Elmer Scrooge's POV:
So much badness to cause, so little time. I then laughed.
