Part 1

[It's the Eve before the Goddess Festival. Soon everyone would be celebrating joyfully, but one person. Ghaleon plans on ruling the world of Lunar and is hard at work. While planning, he has Alex doing missions for him in order to see Lemia. Ghaleon now is at his private room, writing down all the basics to his plan. A knock is heard on the door.]

G:"Go away! I'm plotting to rule the world!"

[Alex barges in]

G:"No respect for privacy! I'm going to change those locks later...What do want?"

A:"I'm quiting! Screw my adventure! I wanna go home and see my wife Luna and my ill son, Nall!"

G:" Nall?! But he can't be your son, he's a dragon!"

A:"He's adopted. Anyway, he's very sick..."

G:"From what?"

A:"From Torets! My son's been swearing like the end is near--"

G:"Which it will be by my hand..."

A:"Huh?"

G:"Nothing."

A:"So can I go home for the Goddess Festival?"

G:"No!"

A:"AW, c'mon! Fine, so much for your holiday cheer!"

[Alex leaves]

G:"Oh, oh yeah! When I capture the goddess, there won't be no festival! Hmrp! Who cares about a Goddess Festival?"

[Ghaleon returns to work as he grows tired. Soon he falls asleep. Later, he awaken by being pushed off his chair.]

G:"Help! I've fallen and can't get up!!"

?:"Why do I put up with this? It's so cheesy!"

G:"Whose there?"

[A ghost of Quark appears.]

G:"Quark?! What are you doing here? Have I eaten shrooms lately?..."

Q:"I'm a ghost, foo'! What's does it look like?!"

G:"But you're not dead yet!"

Q:"Yeah, but you kill me later, so it counts! Besides, this is my only cameo appearance. Anyway, I'm the Ghost of Lunar's Past--"

G:"But isn't there supposed to be some other ghost that warns me about you guys coming?"

Q:[Smacks his forehead]"Holy Dragon Diamonds! D'oh, you're right, I'm suppose to come later! I always mess up!! Damn, why do I have to be so forgetful?"

G:"Maybe it's your old age..."

Q:"GRrrr...Mind repeating that again?!"

G:"Um, it was nothing worth mentioning..."

Q:"Good. I'm going to the bar and get a drink in the meantime, hopefully they'll let me in..."

[Quark leaves.]

G:"I suppose there's a joke about this that I don't know about, maybe that's later. Oh well, back to plotting. Maybe the first ghost will come by."

Q: wow... that's sad... umm... who was the little kid who didn't get a gift??

G: IT WAS ME YOU MORON!!!

Q: oh... well, that's all the time we have for today, so GOODBYE *flings Ghaleon back to the present*

**Ghaleon lands in a heap on his office floor**

G: Humph... oh well... back to work i guess... *returns to the desk, to work on his plan, and think about what the ghost said*


Part 4

[Ghaleon returns to working at his desk]

G:"...And there I'll have....was that a noise I heard? I think it came from the kitchen..."

[Ghaleon investigates at the kitchen to find Ramus there eating the food]

G:"Heyyyyyy........That's my food!"

R:[Taking out a chicken leg]"But it looks so good!!"

G:"What are you doing eaten my food any way?"

R:"I'm the Ghost of Lunar's Present. I came to show you what you need to understand of Alex's life."

G:[shrugs]"Guess I have to get it over with. Make it quick though, I have other things to do."

R:"First lemme get some snacks before we go...OOO! Cheesecake!"

* * *

[Ramus takes Ghaleon to Burg]

G:"Where are we?"

R:"We are at the home of Alex. You get to see his family."

G:"You mean Nall with the Torets?"

R:"SHHHH!"

[Ghaleon watches as Luna enter the room with Nall held in arms. Alex comes in also, even though Ghaleon told him he couldn't go back.]

G:"Hey! I thought I told him--I'll kill him!"

[Ghaleon tries to hit Alex but only goes through him.]

G:"Wha..?"

R:[eating some popcorn.]"Ghaleon, sit down. I'm trying to enjoy the show!"

G:"Hmrp!"

L:"Nall's not getting any better Alex."

N:"@#$%,^%**,$@$@!?!"

A:"It's almost hopeless, Luna. I don't know what to do."

G:"What's this suppose to show me?"

R:"Don't you see Ghaleon? Tiny Nall's going to die soon."

G:"What?! From Torets?!"

R:"Yup and they can't do a thing about it. Well I'm done here."

[Ramus leaves and Ghaleon returns back to his place.]

G:"Well now what? Guess it's back to work..."


Part 5

**Ghaleon goes over his plans once again, making sure every detail will work out**

G: Yes... EXCELLENT... this will work out perfectly...

**Suddenly, the clock strikes, and a clap of thunder shakes the sky, just as the door slowly creaks open**

G: WHA!? who is there???

**A cloaked figure floats toward ghaleon, not speaking at all**

G:AHHHH! stay back! don't hurt me!!!! who are you!!!!

**The figure floats up to Ghaleon's desk, and stands there, and holds out his hand for Ghaleon to grasp**

G: What!? another ghost? oh well... i guess i have to go... *grasps the ghosts hand*

**Both the figure, and Ghaleon dissapear, and when they reappear, they are in a field, the only thing in sight is a large tomb**

Figure: *motions ghaleon toward the tomb*

G: What!? don't poke... alright alright... i'm going *walks over to the tomb* hu? *reads the inscription* HERE LIES THE INFAMOUS MAGIC EMPEROR GHALEON??? is this some sort of sick JOKE??? *walks back over to the figure* Is that tomb REALLY mine???

Figure: *nods* Yes ghaleon, it is yours... you are in LUNAR's future.

G: So you mean i lose??? I don't take over the world???

Figure: nope, you don't get the world... you fail miserably...

G: Oh darn...

Figure: *shakes his head* well... it's time to get you back home... *grabs Ghaleon's arm, and drags him back to the present*

G: i can't believe that i'll lose... *sigh* *sits back down at his desk*

Figure: well, my job is done... *starts to head for the door*

G: Wait! just who are you anyway???

Figure: I AM THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE!!!!

G: uh-huh.. yeah... whatever *runs over to the ghost, and pulls the cord on the cloak, sending the cloak to the ground* AHA! i knew it!

Nash: Awww... you ruined it!!! *sighs, and lowers his head in shame* You were supposed to be scared, not take off the cloak...

G: umm... sorry...

Nash: too bad... Sorry isn't enough this time... YOU'VE RUINED MY CAREER *runs out of the office sobbing*

G:O-K... back to the plans... there is no way i will lose... it's all a lie, and i know it!


Part 6

**Ghaleon stands as he completes his plans**

G: YES!!!! this'll be PERFECT!!! WOO HOO! i'm done...

*The door flings open, and Alex stomps in again*

G: DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO...

A: knock, yes, i know... so...

G: ummm... so what?

A: So... didn't you get visited by ghosts who showed you the past, present, and future, and made you realize that you should help out my family???

G: well... kind of... i was visited, in fact, by a completely drunk ghost, a ghost who cleaned out my refrigerator of everything except for the box of baking soda, and a ghost, who ran away crying like a little baby... and the only thing i learned was the best way to take over the world.

A: oh... than i guess this whole fiasco was in vain?

G: Yep, pretty much...

A: Hey wait! that's not the way it's supposed to go...

G: really?? but it seems like a good way to end it to me.

A: it's an OK ending i guess... but it's WRONG!

G: whaddya mean?

A: i mean you are supposed to become a nice guy and help out my family... didn't you read the script???

G: not really...

A: well then? get to it... go do good stuff... NOW!

G: ok ok ok... *walks off to Alex's house*

**Ghaleon opens the door to Alex's house, and enters, carrying a bag of gifts**

Nall:MOM! Ghaleon is here... and he's got some kind of @$#%@$#%-ing sack full of stuff.

Luna:OH? *comes out from the kitchen* why hello Ghaleon, how are you.

G: AHEM *looks at script* I- AM- DOING- JUST- FINE- LUNA- AND- HOW- ARE- YOU- LITTLE- NALL- ?

N: MOMMY!!! *runs over to luna* Why's he talking like a @#$@#%-ing @$#Q# @#$#$ @#%@#????

L: I dunno honey *hugs Nall* but he's starting to scare me!!!!

G: PLEASE- ACCEPT- THESE- GIFTS- AS- A- TOKEN- OF- MY- APRECIATION- FOR- YOUR- HUSBAND'S- GREAT- WORK-

L & N: AHHHHHHH!!!! make IT stop!!! *both run away, jumping out the nearest window*

G: WHEW! i was getting tired of being good anyhow... now that that is out of the way... it's time to carry out my world domination plan... heh heh heh... *walks back to his study*

(alright, i kind of left it open, but we all know what happens next, so... there it is... )

Back to the Holidays at the Shrine to Ghaleon.
