Neemon : At least we got a credit

Bokomon : Yes I like that too

Neemon : Whatever, where’d Scrooge go anyway

Bokomon : We wouldn’t have lost him if you hadn’t decided to start up a conversation with those Charity reps

Neemon : Hey after Scrooge was so mean to them they needed some Christmas cheer

Bokomon : Obviously you didn’t notice that Fred gave them some money before he left.

Neemon : Hey isn’t that scrooge over there getting into that cab over there.

A dark Shadowy figure gets into a hanson cab a little up the road

Bokomon : No that’s Darkangemon and he’s just plain evil

Neemon : Doesn’t the book say anything

Bokomon : Let’s see, oh my I think your right for once, here we are it says Scrooge kept quarters in the apartments of his old partners house lets see, oh my that’s halfway across the city.

Neemon : Does that mean we’re getting a cab

Bokomon : I’ll say, knowing Scrooge he’s probably walking, TAXI

a Raidramon turns his head to meet eyes with Bokomon before bounding up to them

Raidramon : Where to bud?

Bokomon and Neemon get onto Raidramon’s back

Bokomon : Scrooge and Marley quarters please

Raidramon : Right you are boss

Raidramon runs down the street at speed knocking down several digimon on the corner

Raidramon : Sorry bout that guv

Bokomon : Never mind that watch where your running

Raidramon : Yessir

Raidramon plows through the market at such speed he runs head on into a cart filled with chickens, Neemon and Bokomon cling to one another as they plow on though it.

Bokomon and Neemon : Aaaahh

Raidramon skids to a halt in front of a grey building Bokomon and Neemon open their eyes they are covered in egg and feathers

Raidramon : Well here we are sir that’ll be £5

Bokomon spits out feather : Excuse me, but after that little ride I think you should be paying us I mean we’re wet and covered in feathers, its a right miracle we weren’t killed

Raidramon : err well... consider it the sites of London sir

Bokomon reaches into his waistband and pulls out a £5 note

Bokomon sighing : Consider this Christmas charity

Raidramon : Much obliged guv Merry Christmas

Raidramon turns and makes down the street at breakneck speed, he’s all to eager to be away from scrooges house.

Neemon : Goodbye Merry Christmas

Bokomon glares at Neemon and turns towards the front of the old building there is a large sign on the door

Bokomon reading the sign : Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again

Neemon : That sure sounds like Scrooge.

Bokomon : Too true my friend, lets see if we can get these feathers off  before scrooge gets home

2 hours later

Neemon : When is he coming ? I’m getting bored.

Bokomon hush it’s getting dark he’ll be here soon enough

Matt turns the corner a small spray of snow pluming behind him.

Bokomon : See what did I tell you

Neemon : I’m impressed

Bokomon : Hey when your good your good, hold on a mo I have to read again

Neemon : Okay

Bokomon : Now you must remember that Marley was dead and rotting in his grave

Neemon : Eurgh Do you have to read that?

Bokomon : We have to remember that or else you miss the entire point of the story.

Neemon : Hey Scrooge is at his door now

Matt walks up to the door and puts his hand on the doorknob except its not a knob anymore

Matt recoils back

Izzy : Ouch that hurt

Matt : Jacob Marley?

Izzy : Oh yeah SCROOGE!!!

Neemon : Aaaahh

Bokomon : Told you

Matt : What was that?

Bokomon : To say Scrooge had not been startled would be lying but the moment had past and scrooge knew it couldn’t have been real

Matt : Humbug

Matt walks into the house closing the door behind him

Neemon : OK This is getting scary I’m outta here

Bokomon grabs Neemon by his pants

Bokomon : Neemon where is your sense of culture

Neemon : I think it’s hiding like we should be doing

Bokomon takes another look at the book

Bokomon : It was dark inside the house but darkness was cheap and Scrooge liked it, however the incident at the door had made him weary in his own shadowy way he searched his rooms.

Neemon : How do you know that? he’s in there and we’re out here which I’m glad about.

Bokomon : Its in the book stupid, in his desperation Scrooge was forced to light the lamps.

The whole house lights up from each window

Neemon : OK how did you do that?

Bokomon : Never mind that let’s get inside

Neemon : How?

Bokomon : it’s a big house there’s got to be some way

Several hours later hours later Bokomon and Neemon are sitting in a large oak watching Matt’s bedroom window Matt is sitting there in a dressing gown eating some type of porridge

Neemon : Bokomon I’m stiff all over, why are we sitting in this tree

Bokomon : It’ll be clear to your tiny mind in a second Neemon, Here it comes

The window to Matt’s bedroom opens to the full, the fire dies down Matt looks terrified sitting transfixed in his chair Izzy Appears covered in white powder

Izzy : Achoo, huh, hey whadaya know it’s Ebenezer Scrooge, looking older and more wicked than ever, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me.

Matt : What do you want from me?

Izzy : I’ve come to warn you?

Matt : I don’t believe this

Izzy : Don’t you believe your own eyes?

Matt : No because even the slightest thing can cause the to cheat, why a slight case of indigestion can make things appear what they aren’t, why you could be a piece of beef, a grain of rice. a crumb of cheese, Yes that’s it there’s more of gravy than of grave to do with you.

Izzy : Ookay someone’s in denial city not to mention that’s an awful pun.

One of Izzy’s chains pulls at his arm

Izzy : Argh these chains are unbearable

Matt looking scared : What are these horrible chains

Izzy : The chains? I forged these chains in life, you also have made such a chain

Matt : Jacob please what are they

Izzy : These chains are all the wicked deeds I devised, Arghh

Chains are coiling around Izzy’s legs locking them together

Matt : But Jacob you were not unfair to your fellow man

Izzy : Well... there was something about mankind I liked, I guess it was their money

Matt : Please Jacob speak comfort please

Izzy : Tonight you will be haunted by three spirits

Matt : No way, I think I’ve had enough of haunting

Izzy : Without these visits you cannot avoid my fate

Matt : all right but can’t I see them all at once

Izzy : Arggh

The chains pull across Izzy’s neck

Izzy being pulled out the window : Expect the first ghost when the bell tolls one

Matt : Jacob...

Neemon and Bokomon are huddling together as Izzy is pulled over they’re heads by his chains

Neemon : That was scary.

Bokomon : Yes but quite enlightening don’t you think.

Neemon : only if you make chains

Bokomon : Culture really is a loss on you

Neemon : huh?

Bokomon : oh never mind.

Neemon : hey are you telling me we’re staying in this tree until one in the morning

Bokomon : Do you have a better idea? anyway it’s only a few minutes away anyway

Neemon : OK I think your nuts but okay

Matt : I need some sleep, I’m seeing things

Neemon : is he stubborn or what a ghost appears to him and he thinks he’s just tired.

Bokomon : Darn right oh I have to read again, Disturbed by his ghostly vision Scrooge fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.

Matt begins to snore
