*Every villager breaks out into a song and dance number you know they practiced but says they didn't and never happens in real life.*

EVERYONE- Good morning! On a bleak and cold winter's day it's nice to say good morning! With a grouch like Lina and all hopes crushed it's nice to say good morning!

Lina- Would you shut up! Shouldn't you people be trying to live by begging that I don't raise taxes!

EVERYONE-She's a grouch, a penny pincher too. She acts like the Queen but is not!

Man by the corner- Because she'd Drgaon Slave your butt........

Woman near by- And your family too!

Everyone- She stunted in her growth of.........

Zel- Ok so she's a grump.

Naga- *annoying laugh that cuts through you like a knife* A grump that's putting it lightly, She's a.........

Lina- Get back to work. I don't pay you to talk, now do I Xel!?

Xelloss- Yes, Miss Inverse. Umm may I ask you something?

Lina- I guess.

Xelloss- Well the bookeepers and I would like to have tomorrow off, seeing as it's Christmas Day. Every shop in town will be closed and there will be no money for you to take.

Lina- hmmm, (thinks about it) I suppose! But if you're not hear early the next morning!

Xelloss-Thank you Miss Inverse!

Lina- I'm going home.

(Lina leaves)

(Xelloss and others begin to clean with another a song and dance number that you would never happen.)

Xelloss- Christmas is a funny feeling, kinda something that you can't explain. It's tone si better than that of Lina's and misaltoe here used to be nice. But kissing the grinch, just doesn't suffice.

Everyone- Christmas is the time, of happiness. Tonight all spirits rest and others come together! But here, in our town......Christmas is like Halloween

Xelloss- Espically with............THE GRINCH!!

(Everyone leaves) (Fades out to a scene at Lina's home)

Zel- As you can see Lina lives quite well.....

Audience- That's because she knows how to get around.

*looking inside Lina's window to find her sitting by herself at the fireplace.*

Lina- Christmas...who in their right mind.

*hears a loud moan*

Lina- Umm. I don't know what the hell that was but......no one is there so it's alright.

*hears it again*

Lina- Who's there? *kinda scared now*

*all of a sudden Chocolate Misu and Marron Glace appear*

Chocolate- L----------I-----------N--------A----------!

Marron- Hey what are we doing here again?

Chocolate- I don't know....oh wait it's coming back!

Lina- But.....But ......*gulps* your dead.

Marron and Chocolate- Not Anymore!

Chocolate- Lina you must change your ways.

Lina- Bahh. Well your nothing but something brought on by too much alcohol. Yes now I see it. Marron is a little bit of something I had four years ago. I knew I should have cleaned out my fridge....

Marron- Shut up. Listen Lina....you will be visited by three ghost tonight.

Lina- I don't know, I have too much.......

Chocolate- Be quiet and listen. You WILL be visited by three ghost tonight. Expect the first when the bell tolls one.

Lina- Why??? *whining tone*

Marron- Do you want to end up like us. Damned to hell for eternity?

Lina- No....

Chocolate and Marron- Good. Expected the first ghost when the bell tolls one!

Lina- *wakes up to find herself in her recliner* It was all a dream.

*outside*

Filia-chan- Zel, do you think this is good for the children at home.

Audeince- Yes, very!

Zel- Hey it's a classic. I can't help the parts that are in it.

*inside*

Zel- Lina climbs into bed thinking that it was all a dream. Or was it?

*the bell tolls one!*

*washu appears*

Washu- Wake up sleepy head!

Lina- *wakes up, had the dickens scared out of her. ^_^* Who? Who? Who? Are you?

Audeince- The number one scientfic genius of the universe.

Washu- I am, I am, I am the ghost of Christmas Past.

Lina- Really?

Washu- No, I only have the power to fly and show you images from your past.

Lina- Prove it.

Washu- Then let us travel back to the Christmas' of the past.

*Washu grabs Lina's hand and proceeds out the door.*

Audience- They're gonna make it.

*BAM! Right into the trash cans below*

Washu- heh, it takes a moment.

Lina- Yeah.....

Washu- and we're off.

Audeince- It's a bird, No a plane, no it's super Washu!

Zel- Tie this around your waist Filia.

*Filia does as told.*

*Zell hooks the rope to Lina's foot and they are off to the past!*

*Zel, Chibi-Filia, Lina, and Washu are in the past to Lina's childhood.*

Lina- Why am I here! I could be sleeping.

Washu- Really? Do you see that girl over there?

*Lina looks at the girl sitting in the corner and she is all alone.*

Lina- I do.

Washu- Oh really! Who is she?

*turn to Zel*

Zel- Lina comes to the past to find herself staring at herself.

Chibi-Filia- Kinda Errie eh?

Audience- What does this have to do with Christmas?

*Back To Lina*

Lina- I was a lonely little kid. Luna always hated me. So every Christmas...I'd spent it working onm my magic.

Washu- There are other Christmas' worse than this.

*Washu zips everyone to five years later.*

Washu- Who is that girl dancing with that young man?

Lina- That was me. I was 14. He was in love with me and I was with him.

*The party around them comes to a toast and the younger Chocolate and Marron are giving the toast. None can see them because they are images of Lina's past.*

Chocolate- A Toast!

Marron- Oh yes!

Chocolate- To Love, hope and new romances!

Marron- Cheers!

*back to Lina*

Lina- I think that was the last Christmas I was acutally happy.

Washu- Really?

Audience- Really?

*The young gentleman or Carrot gets on one knee to the younger Lina*

Carrot- Will you marry me?

*The younger Lina hugs him and kisses him*

Zel- As the party carries on Washu reminds Lina of another Christmas with this man.

Audience- LINA WAS GOING TO MARRY CARROT!!!!!!

*Lina looks down and one tear is shed.*

Lina- You're right Washu. There was another Christmas with this man.

*Washu zips the crew to a year later....Lina's wedding day.*

Lina- I remember this Christmas. Please don't show it to me!

Washu- Hey you created the memories I just replay them.

Chibi-Filia- Lina was going to marry Carrot, Zel?

Zel- Oh yes. But you'll see why she isn't with him.

*Everyone turns their gaze to the young Lina sitting in a chair.*

Young Lina- Where could Carrot be? He said he'd be here.

Chocolate- Lina, he loves you and he'll be here.

*the phone rings and Lina answers*

Young Lina- Hello?

*then young Lina breaks down crying*

Washu- What happened Lina?

Lina- *getting teary* It was his friend. Apparently they had been in a car accident on their way to the wedding. Carrot died on impact. Please no more! No More! No....

*Lina wakes to find herslef in her room*

Lina- It was a dream!

Zel- Lina thinks it was a dream but was it.

Chibi-Filia- So let's recap. Lina was proposed to by Carrot. Carrot died and Lina was sad. So Lina was in love with Carrot and they were going to get married?

Zel- Exactly.

Audeince- *stunned*

*The bell tolls two.*

*Zel is standing there, Chibi-Filia right next to him.*

Zel- Lina, is amazed and still be wildered. Was it a dream? Wait what's that?

Chibi-Filia- I can't see anything.

Mihoshi- Come On! I don't have all night!

Lina- Who the hell are you?

Mihoshi- The ghost of Christmas Present!

Lina- Oh great! It wasn't a dream.......

Mihoshi- Well let's go!

Lina- Where have you taken me?

Mihoshi- I guess you are a grinch?

*Zel fault look*

Zel- The ghost of Christmas Present took Lina to a house of her own employee, Xelloss.

Mihoshi- Your laundry.

Lina- Oh. So you mean to tell me that the pigeon cooking over there is....

Mihoshi- There Christmas dinner. Yes.

Lina- Eh... Where's Xelloss?

*Lina looks behind her to hear singing.*

Xelloss and Tiny Gourry- "Christmas is the time to be happy. The time of peace the time of love and when the world can love! Oh Christmas."

Mihoshi- Aren't they cute!!

Audience- Gourry isn't but Xelloss is.

Xelloss- So son how are you?

Tiny Gourry- Great dad!

*They go inside*

Lina- What's the matter with Tiny Gourry?

Mihoshi- The boy is very ill.

Lina- Will he die?

Mihoshi- Unless these shadows change...I see an empty chair in the corner and a crutch without an owner. At least that's what I think I see.

*Zel steps in*

Zel- Lina was thinking long and hard about it.

*Mihoshi again*

Mihoshi- But if the boy is going to die! Then so be it and decrease the surplus population. *This was stating something Lina said earlier.*

Lina- *A tear falls*

Mihoshi- Come there is more to see.

Amelia- Are slugs shrewed?

Brock- No.

Kiyone- I got it! You're Lina!!!

Amelia- Correct!!

Lina- How dare they!

Mihoshi- I think it is time we go.

*Lina finds herself alone in a dark ally.*

Zel- After the last ghost of Christmas, Lina finds herself alone.
