In the same theater; a play was about to start and Scratch was looking around.
He nodded.
"Good, good. This is going good." said Scratch.
Then Roger appeared in front of Scratch.
"Excuse me Scratch, can I have a word with you?" said Roger.
Scratch groaned.
"Oh what is it now? Better not be about my choice of actors for certain roles." said Scratch.
"Two issues with that, the first one being your choice of who's to play Ebenezer Scrooge." Roger said while pointing to Odalia who was looking at a script.
"Bah humbug." said Odalia.
Scratch looked at her.
"What's wrong with Odalia as Scrooge?" said Scratch.
"She's a convicted felon serving out a prison life sentence for conspiring with Belos on witch genocide." said Roger.
Scratch smiled.
"True Roger, but hey, she was perfect and how often do we see a Female playing the great Ebenezer Scrooge?" asked Scratch, "Besides would you want me to have that person play Scrooge?"
The two turned and saw the other choices for Scrooge with one being Beta and the other being Ted.
Roger turned back to Scratch.
"Fair enough, but what about your choices for the ghosts of Christmas past and future?" said Roger.
Scratch became confused.
"What about them?" said Scratch.
Roger then pointed behind Scratch and he turned around to see Ripper in only a pair of underwear posing for a painting that Axel was working on.
Scratch groaned at this.
"It's like watching that one Titanic scene where Leonardo DiCaprio is painting a picture of a half naked Kate Winslet." said Scratch, "Only the roles are reversed and DiCaprio is overweight."
"Good luck trying to keep those two apart until their own respective scenes." said Roger.
He then removed his prosthetic leg and put his peg leg on.
Scratch the handed him a prosthetic eye that is the color blue the opposite of the one Roger's real eye is and Roger smiled.
"I see you watched that Netflix musical version of Christmas Carol with Bob Cratchet having two different color eyes." He said.
Scratch nodded.
"I did and I gotta say that was pretty entertaining." He said.
Roger removed his own false eye and replaced it with the eye Scratch gave him just as he saw Chris and Chef who were both getting chains wrapped around them and powdered up.
The meerkat glared at Scratch.
"What, how often do you see two Jacob Marley's?" said Scratch.
"Only in the Michael Caine Muppet version." said Roger.
"So why not have two Jacob Marley's here?" asked Scratch, "It's rare and entertaining."
"Fair point." spoke Roger.
In a bathroom; a shower was running as singing was heard and MK appeared in the room.
"Sonic, Sonic, the show's about to start." MK said before flushing the toilet.
Sonic who was in the shower screamed before opening up the curtains.
"HOT, HOT, HOT!" yelled Sonic.
He then looked at a chuckling MK.
"MK, don't you know this is Sonic shower time?" said Sonic.
"Sorry Sonic but the show is about to start and I don't wanna miss my chance to heckle Odalia, and I'm pretty sure you don't." spoke MK.
"We're heckling Odalia as narrators since nothing bad ever happens to a narrator." said Sonic.
"Exactly." said MK.
Sonic got out of the shower and started drying himself off before grabbing some 18th century clothes which he proceeded to put on.
In the audience; lots of people were taking their seats and preparing for the show about to start.
Mike was in the audience sitting next to Zoey and the two had lots of movie theater candy, a tub of popcorn, and a large theater cup of soda.
Zoey smiled.
"I can't wait for this show to begin and I can't believe that Scratch directed this show." spoke Zoey.
"I know after last year I would've thought that Roger wouldn't let Scratch direct a show." He said.
Interview Gag
Roger & Scratch were in there and Scratch chuckled.
"I did come up with this one and gave Roger a role for this show, besides I didn't want a repeat of last years show." Scratch said.
"I swore that I would bring harm to Scratch greatly if he did something that cruel to me again." Said Roger.
End Interview Gag
Boiling Isles president Steve as well as his wife First lady Katya sat down in a booth seat.
"Steve I cant believe you agreed to let that monster Odalia be in this play!" his wife said.
"Scratch said that she'd be going through a whole lot of karmic butt monkey abuse throughout the play from every performer, including the narrators." Said Steve.
"Oh, now I'm so proud of you for making her a butt monkey in a play." Said Katya.
"Hopefully the physical comedy on her is refreshing." Said Steve.
With Odalia she was nervous.
She was mostly nervous about having to wear two ankle monitors.
"I wish I didn't have to wear these during this, I'm not planning on escaping or doing anything bad." spoke Odalia.
"We can't risk it Odalia, Besides it could be worse, you could be locked in a room with those two in a cooking show." spoke Scratch as he pointed who he was talking about.
Odalia turned around and became shocked and disgusted.
"OH JESUS!" Odalia said while turning away.
It was Axel and Ripper making a cake like in the pottery scene from the film Ghost.
"Yeah let's start the play so we don't have to see this." spoke Scratch as he floated on stage and smiled. "HELLO EVERYONE AMD WELCOME TO THIS YEARS CHRISTMAS SHOW DIRECTED BY ME!"
The ghost cleared his throat.
"Anyways, Scrooge will be portrayed by someone who you all hate." Said Scratch.
The audience booed.
"Who will be the butt monkey of joke's throughout the show for her crimes against witch kind and humanity to an extent." Said Scratch.
The audience cheered happily.
"LET THE SHOW BEGIN!" yelled Scratch.
The audience cheered as the curtains opened up.
