Takeru Takashi as Fred
Guilmon, MonoDramon and Tentomon as Bookkeepers

Matt : I still don’t get why I have to be Scrooge
Darkangemon : Because we needed someone with a younger brother to play Fred, that and the fact that your constant sulking in the first season made you perfect for Christmas's most famous sourpuss
Matt : I don’t even know half these guys where did you find them.
Darkangemon : Don’t ask, I’d spend the rest of the fanfic explaining
Matt : Whatever lets get this over with.
A
snowy scene begins in the city of London, It is Christmas Eve in the year 1810
this
is where we join our Narrators on an uncrowded street corner
Neemon: Well there’s the credits how does this story begin again?
Bokomon Takes out his book
Bokomon : Marley was dead to begin with,
Neemon: Ooh creepy
Bokomon snaps Neemon’s pants
Bokomon : Ahem
Neemon: Oh sorry
Bokomon: As dead as a doornail
Neemon: How can a doornail be dead?
Bokomon: I don’t know, but we’ll be here all day if you keep asking silly questions
Bokomon
snaps Neemon’s pants again.
Bokomon: Now I’ve lost my place where was I... Ah here we are, In life Jacob Marley had been partnered to a shrewd money lender named Ebenezer Scrooge
Nothing
happens
Bokomon: Ahem EBENEZER SCROOGE
Matt Walks on set angrily glaring at Bokomon
Matt: Yes
Bokomon: err nothing
Matt: Good
Matt
continues to walk across the street to his offices entitled Scrooge and Marley
loans.
Bokomon: Phew that was close.
Neemon: Did it just get colder here?
Bokomon: I know I think, Scrooge does that to everyone, lets check out the inside of his office
Neemon: What? are you crazy?
Bokomon: No, the story has to go on, now give me a leg up okay
Neemon:
Oh kay
Neemon
gives Bokomon a leg up onto the window sill
Bokomon
looks at book
Bokomon: Ah yes I see their right on schedule
Takato,
Guilmon MonoDramon and Tentomon are busy writing
Kouji is sitting in a chair apparently waiting for Matt
Matt : Mr. Cratchitt?
Takato : Yes sir?
Matt: who is this?
Takato : That's Mr. Minamoto he’s here to talk to you about his gulp mortgage
Kouji : I’m sorry to have fallen behind on the mortgage sir it’s just that it’s Christmas and all that and well, my brother was in hospital you see.
Matt : Watch me care.
Kouji : huh.
Matt : Mr. Cratchitt show this man the door
Takato Yes sir.
Kouji : Please Mr. scrooge have mercy please
Matt : Out with him Mr. Cratchitt
Takato : yes sir
Neemon : What a nasty man
Bokomon : Tell me about it
Takato: excuse me Mr. Scrooge
Matt: Yes Mr. Cratchitt
Takato: Sir I’m sorry to bother you but it’s gotten colder, the Bookkeepers and I would like another scoop of coal for the fire if it’s not too much trouble.
Guilmon : Uh huh, My pens keep freezing up
Matt narrows his eyes.
Matt: How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly UNEMPLOYED
Bookkeepers
scatter back to their books in a hurry, Guilmon snaps his pen Takato turns back
to his desk
Takato:
I think their convinced sir.
Neemon: What a nasty man.
Bokomon: No kidding, Oh wait I’ve got to read now, It was customary at this time of year for well meaning gentleman to travel from business to business in order to collect money for charities.
Neemon: good for them.
Kenta
and Marineangemon knock on the door nervously
Matt: Come in I haven’t got all day
Kenta : Good morning sir I represent the goodwill charity foundation, we’d like to query you for a donation to help the poor and homeless what should we put you down for.
Marineangemon: Down for
Matt: absolutely nothing
Kenta : You wish to remain anonymous?
Matt: No I wish to be left alone
Kenta : Oh come now sir tis a season of good will
Matt : Are there no prisons, no workhouses
Kenta : There are but...
Matt : Well I pay my taxes the homeless must go there
Kenta : But some of them would rather die.
Matt : Well if they’re going to die they’d better do it and decrease the surface population
Marineangemon
gasps
Bokomon: At this moment who should come through the door but Scrooge’s nephew Fred, his only living relative.
Neemon: is he the blonde kid coming this way?
Bokomon : Yes
TK slams the door behind him knocking Bokomon and Neemon of the windowsill
TK: A merry Christmas Uncle, God save you
Matt: Bah. Humbug.
TK: Christmas a Humbug Uncle you don’t mean that I’m sure.
Matt : I do, anyway what right have you to be merry your poor enough.
TK smiles cheekily
TK : what right have you to be dismal your rich enough.
Neemon : come on it’ll be warmer in there
Bokomon : I don’t know
Neemon Oh C’mon
Bokomon : All right
Bokomon sneak in through the door
Neemon: Actually I think it’s colder in here.
Matt : What are you doing here anyway?
TK : I come to invite you to a friendly Christmas dinner dear uncle.
Matt : Not a chance Fred.
Fred : Oh come now Christmas is a time for family
Matt : Nephew You keep Christmas in your way and I’ll keep it in mine
Fred : But you don’t keep it.
Matt : Exactly, If I had my way every fool who walks around with Merry Christmas on his lips would be baked with his own Turkey, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.
Neemon : Yuk, Graphic isn’t he,
Bokomon : that’s classic literature for you.
Uncle
I believe that your wrong and even though Christmas has never put a scrap of
gold or silver in my pocket I believe Christmas has done me
good and I say God bless it.
Matt
finishes his pile of notes and picks them up
Matt : Mr. Cratchitt here are the Eviction notices for tomorrow.
Takato : But sir, tomorrow is Christmas
Matt : Very well you may gift wrap them I expect you all here at 8 tomorrow morning
All the employees groan Tentomon sparks up
Takato : um
Matt : Is there something wrong
Takato : Forgive me sir but a ½ an hour off is hardly customary on Christmas day
Matt : Oh and I suppose your going to tell me what is
Takato : Well sir the entire day
Matt : The entire day?
Takato : well yes sir, all the other companies will be closed anyway there’s no one to do business with
Matt looks grudgingly at Takato and the bookkeepers
Matt : tis a poor excuse to pick a mans pocket every December the 25th. Very well, have your precious Christmas off
Takato takes off his goggles
Takato : thank you sir
Matt : but I expect you in all the earlier on boxing day
Takato : yes sir
Matt
leaves the offices closing the door angrily behind him
Neemon : wow he’s really mad about giving those guys the day off
Bokomon : agreed
Neemon
and Bokomon leave to follow Matt
