This is a spoof to a Christmas carol.

I don't own anything.

Christmas carol belongs to it's original owner, Harvey FineVoice version of the Christmas carol belongs to Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall and RWBY belongs to RoosterTeeth.

The reason why I chose Raven is because Raven and Harvey FineVoice are kind of similar.

(December 24, Raven's POV)

Christmas... a time about family and friends having fun and leaving behind all of your regrets and care for others... I admit I'm not much of a fan of it when I use to be.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind anyone else enjoying Christmas, I even allowed the Branwen tribe to go on a break at December 20th until the 17th of January.

Right now, I'm planning to hide the tribe until I heard a familiar voice.

Vernal: "Raven... thank you for giving us all a break."

I looked at Vernal and gave her a small smile.

Me: "you're welcome."

Vernal: "merry Christmas."

Vernal then leaves the tent and I started to frown, remembering a Christmas with my former teammates and about Vernal saying how he met the ghosts of Christmas until I heard a eerie voice and saw a man wearing a orange cap.

Man: "Raven, Raven, Raven, I am the ghost of- AH JEEZ!"

I got him in a headlock and shouted "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

MAN: "DUDE RAVEN, I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST!!"

Me: "VERNAL MET THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST ONCE, IT WAS SOME LITTLE GIRL WITH A LIGHT ON HER!"

Man: "There's more then one of us, dude!"

I then let go of him and calmed down.

Me: "Wait a minute, you're the 90's kid my tribe was talking about, I thought you became an entity."

90's Dude: "90's Dude actually but the Entity thing comes and goes..."

Me: "Aren't you suppose to be busy reviewing a comic?"

90's Dude: "actually I have to do my new job of the Ghost Of Christmas Past."

Me: "well, Christmas is not my problem so get out."

90's Dude: "well, the ghost of Christmas past may be in our title but we deal with a lot of people who need a good talking to and you're on the top of the list miss Branwen."

Me: "...right."

90's Dude then said something that I'm not surprised of him even asking "why don't you spend Christmas with your family? I mean sure you don't like spending much time with them anymore but you got to start trusting them again."

I started to chuckled a little remembering a video one of my tribe members showed me, then I said firmly "you're funny... but tell you the honest truth, I DON'T trust myself around them."

90's Dude: "how did you met your family anyway?"

Me: "my brother and I was just talking until I saw him limping in pain with Summer helping him, me and Qrow then helped him.Summer and I became pretty close Me and Tai both liked each other that day, I liked him because of his kindness and his compassion. He liked me because of my strength, my ambition and my determination and after a few months, we then convinced our love to each other."

90's Dude: "What stopped? It sounds perfect."

Me: "My difficulties of spending time with my family and leading the Branwen tribe, so I chose to be with the tribe, Tai understand and we chose to divorce and to be... friends. Soon enough on Christmas Eve, I heard He and Summer got together and had Ruby. I was happy for them..."

90's Dude: "until..."

Me: "I heard that something had... happened to her a few years later, I didn't bother to see her and stayed away from her resting place."

90's Dude: "oh. (realises What she meant by that) oh..."

Me: "when I was walking one day though, I saw a little girl all beaten up and looking very bruised... I took her under my wing and gave Summer the proper care she deserves."

90's Dude looks at me looking very confused and he asks "Summer?"

Me: "I meant... Vernal."

90's Dude: "Raven... where do you think you are right now?"

I was about ask him a question until a bright light shined and I was somehow transported to Beacon.

?/?/?/?: "WHY, HELLO THERE RAVEN."

I was about to attack the person with his booming with my sword until I saw a man wearing some odd clothes.

Man: "MY APOLOGIES, DID I STARTLE YOU?"

Me: "(sarcastically) No, I love drawing my sword in surprise and think I'm about to be attacked! (seriously) I taking a big guess that you're the ghost of Christmas present?"

GOCPRE: "THAT WOULD BE ME."

Me: "(irritated) look, I know you're trying to help me but can we just skip this?"

GOCPRE: "ok."

I blinked in surprise and then replied "No argument?"

GOCPRE: "WHAT'S THE POINT IN ARGUING AT A WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR LIKE THIS?"

Me: "ok then... take me back to my tribe area."

GOCPRE: "I WOULD BUT I WASN'T THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE."

?????: "Hello and welcome to AtopTheFourthWall where bad comics burn."

I reconsidered that voice and was about to attack until the ghoul stopped me from attacking... her.

Raven: "what are you doing?!"

GOCPRE: "LETTING THEM CONTINUE THEIR REVIEW."

Me: "did I miss something??!!"

XXXXX

(After the review and an explanation.)

The Ghoul of Christmas present told me that they've changed after their boyfriend named (Y/N) has saved them from the tragic metal dictator and he gained a harem, including Ruby and Yang.

Ruby: "I hope you like the comic I chosen for you."

Emerald: "well, (Fav/Ch/Co) is an interesting comic."

Neo: 'agreed.'

Me: "Summer sure knows how to pick these... comics."

the ghoul looks at me and asks in a joyful yet confused voice "Summer?"

I looked at him and said "Summer's daughter."

GOCPRE: "MISS BRANWEN, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?"

I got confused until the same bright light appeared and I was in a dark place.

I then noticed someone is watching me, I showed my maiden powers revealing my fiery crimson and light salmon eyes.

I turned around and saw the ghost of Christmas future.

Me: "well, well, well. If it isn't the ghost of Christmas future. Well I'm fine with wherever I'm going but I'm not doing it with hades... so show a face I can talk to or we're going to find out if a spirit can be sliced in half!!"

The figure then starts to take its gloves off, then it's cloak revealing someone familiar, it didn't took too long to realise the person is Ruby but a lot more older... she looks just like her mother.

Me: "Ruby... is that you?"

Future Ruby: "think of me as a future echo of what I could be... what I will be."

Me: "I hate to be it."

Ruby starts to giggles and notices something.

Ruby: "What's that over there?"

I looked where Ruby was pointing and saw it was a gravestone.

Me: "(sarcastically) OH NO, IT'S MY GRAVESTONE! (Seriously) this entire trip has been a waist of time, ya know that?! The ghost of Christmas past showed me what I was like a few years ago... you do realise the past makes up who I am today right?! There's no point in showing me my past when I already remember it... and then there's the present, it's like I'm already living it right now, what good has it done by showing me all of that... and now we have you, the future and what is the future...? I'm gonna die... of course I am. I'm gonna die, Tai's gonna die, Qrow's gonna die, Vernal's gonna die, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.... we're all gonna die and leave one day when we shouldn't... SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA GET AT SHOWING ME THAT I'M GONNA DIE????!!!!"

Ruby didn't flinch at my outburst... she wasn't scared or angry... she only asked one question "Raven, where do you think you are right now?"

I got confused on the question all the ghosts asked and I decided to look at the gravestone.

although as I was walking towards it, the air started to get colder.

I then noticed I was on a hill, I got to the gravestone but what I saw brought tears to my eyes.

'Summer Rose. thus kindly, I scatter.'

Me: "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE..."

Ruby: "but you're always here. I didn't bring us here, you did."

I started to tear up even more "would you say goodbye... Well, Would you say goodbye, could you... When there's someone out there you cared for... who's just like the one you lost?"

Ruby: "but I'm not Mom, you got to accept that... you have to say goodbye."

Me: "how can you ask me that... when I left for 8 years? Do you know what that was like? It was like losing her all over again... I was so scared... I so scared of that day of Summer's death."

Ruby: "aunt raven, I'm not who you want me to be, I'm never going to be her... you have to let her go."

Me "when do you let all of this go... when do you start moving on?"

Ruby: "What better time then Christmas? This is where you are right now, where do you want? Where do you need to be?"

As I looked behind me, Ruby disappeared.

I then looked back at the grave and said "goodbye... goodbye (tears up and smiles) and thank you."

As I got up, I noticed I was in Tai's home.

???????: "Ruby, stay away from the eggnog. Yang, could you help me with carrying the presents please?"

Yang: "sure dad."

As Tai and Yang came and saw me, I hugged them.

Me: "I am so sorry... for everything."

I felt Tai pat my back and said "it's ok."

I then broke the hug.

Yang: "would you like to spend Christmas with us?"

I smiled and said "I'd like that."

Tai and me grabbed the presents, Ruby gave me a big hug and I smiled.

Me: "you are just like your mother."

We smiled and we all had a group hug.

May the gods bless us, everyone.
