Everything changed around Scrooge again, but this time to the point of totally changing place. He was now in a lively village hall, decorated for Christmas, full of dancing and laughing people. Scrooge remembered, it was a Christmas party organized at work by his former boss, good Mr Nigel Fezziwig. And Mr Fezziwig himself was there! As a boss, he was the contrary of what Scrooge was now: merry, very generous, who considered his employees like his children. During that party, young Scrooge absolutely didn't want to waste time in his work and had isolated himself but Fezziwig intended to make him come out of his shell and dragged him into the party. The young asocial man resigned... and met that night the only great love of his life, Belle. A real mutual love at first sight...
