The Grinch 2: Happy New Year Chapter 19-Happy New Year!

Back in Whoville, at noon, the Grinch, Cindy Lou, Donna, Lou and Max arrived at the Lou-Who house with the twins in their baby stroller.

"I'm sorry that you were sent to work after you cancel your night shift last night," Grinch apologized to his new girlfriend.

"That's okay. At least we worked only in the morning. This means I have enough time to prepare for our New Year dinner," Donna said as she went to the kitchen, not before she noticed a rope from the ceiling that bothered her for the last few days and tried to ignore it. "What is this rope for?"

"The Grinch remembered what the rope for as he tried to stop her, "Donna, no, it's…"

Too late. Donna pulled the rope, and black, white and gold balloons and confetti fell above her, and the room floor was covered with them. The Grinch and Cindy Lou cringed that Donna might get mad, but she let out a loud laugh instead, which calmed the two in relief.

"Who's idea is this?" The mother asked.

"It was my idea, but Aggie put them there when New Year is coming," Grinch explained.

Donna picked up a balloon, and chuckled, "Oh, Aggie. A mother who is a kid at heart. Very creative and thoughtful, just like you."

"She kinda is," He nodded. "I kinda missed her."

"I missed her too. I really want her to stay with us for New Year, but she has a family if her own."

"We should respect that."

"Well, I better cook for New Year's dinner tonight."

"Oh, let me help you."

While Cindy Lou and Max put the twins out from their stroller and put them on the couch, the little girl watched her mother and the Grinch cooking together, even if they make little accidents. They only laughed at those things. She's been watching them for hours, even if the twins and Max fell asleep beside her. Cindy wished that Aggie would be here to see this. She would be so proud. After Grinch, Donna and Cindy Lou gathered all the confetti and balloons that Aggie kept in the ceiling, they gave them to Mayor McGerkle as their suggestion for the New Year countdown. The Mayor immediately approved this suggestion as the workers placed the confetti and balloons in a net above the middle of the town, ready to release them after countdown.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later, when night came, and after cooking the food for dinner, the Grinch and Max walked back to Mt. Crumpit to dress for the New Year. Grinch wore black-and-gold stripped tie, while Max wore a black and gold doggy clothes. At her house, Donna wore light-green dress to match her new boyfriend's color. Cindy Lou wore her same winter clothes, as so was the twins.

When Grinch and Max went back to the Lou-Who house to fetch the Lou-Who family for the countdown. Grinch rang the doorbell, and Donna Lou opened the door, wearing a green dress that matches his fur color.

"You look ravishing," he told her.

"Oh, thank you," Donna blushed at his compliment. "And that's a very nice tie."

The two stared at each other for a while, until Cindy Lou interrupted them while pushing a baby stroller with her brothers in it.

"Come on, you two, we're gonna be late for the countdown!" She yelled excitingly.

The Grinch shook his head and snapped to reality, "So, uh, shall we go?"

"Yeah," Donna replied as they held each other's hand, and left the house. Max followed Cindy Lou to look out for the twins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they made it at the middle of the town, the spot was crowded with the citizens of Whoville. Everyone is here. Everyone. The children have sparkler candles and horns with their parents. There was also a giant digital clock with a minute left 'till New Year. They decided to stay at the back to see the whole view of the night sky when it'll burst with fireworks later.

Suddenly, the Grinch was startled when somebody elbowed him on the side.

"I knew this would happen," exclaimed Bricklebaum when he noticed Grinch and Donna together.

"Hey, Bricklebaum, glad you made," the Grinch greeted.

"And I'm glad you two are here. Aggie did a pretty good job getting you two together."

"Sort of. Yeah."

"What are you talking about?" asked Donna.

"Well, Donna, you see… Aggie's mission is bringing us together since I'm too afraid to confess my feelings for you. And she's the one who set up the date, not me," Grinch confessed. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I still have fun last night," Donna smiled.

"It's too bad Aggie isn't here," Bricklebaum said.

"Yeah, but she's already happy celebrating new Year with her family. Let's leave her alone," Grinch replied.

Mayor McGerkle walked in front of the clock, carrying a microphone, and started an announcement, "Good evening of Whoville, and welcome to the 2043's New Year countdown! We only have 30 seconds left, so let's raise our sparkler candles, ready to blow our horn, and get ready for a firework show to celebrate New Year." Just then, the clock had 10 seconds left. "Let's begin the countdown, everyone," the mayor said.

"10…"

"9..."

"8…"

"7…"

"6…"

"5…"

"4…"

"3…"

"2…"

"1!"

Before the Whos enlightened the fireworks, colorful dusty beams were blasted out of nowhere, and flew all the way on the night sky, bursting big, bright colorful fireworks with snow balls and colorful glittering dust falling above all the Whos of Whoville. The net above them cut open to let the black, white and golden confetti and balloons fall at them. The Who workers didn't know what happened since they didn't ignited the fireworks yet, but they continued to fire them anyway together with the unusual fireworks that was already burst before them. Everyone was satisfied about the fireworks as their lights reflected from every Who's eyes, including the Grinch.

But for him, he was suspicious about the fireworks. No one can ever create fireworks with snow balls and dust before, except for just one person he knew. The Grinch turned around, and saw someone very close and familiar to him.

She blew the smoke from her wand staff after using "Pixie dust Snow Ball Firework Shower" spell, and smirked at him, "Hey, Grinch, miss me?"

"AGGIE!" He happily rushed to hug his human friend.

Donna and Cindy Lou turned and were surprise for the return of their new friend. "Aggie!" they rushed in to hug too.

Even Max jumped onto her, and licked her face. "Aww, I miss you too already, Max." Aggie chuckled.

The Grinch couldn't believe Aggie returned at the time of New Year, "You… you came back."

"I can't reject an invitation. It would be so rude, and that's not me at all. I would love to spend New Year with you guys." Aggie cried with joy.

"But what about your family and friends?" Cindy Lou reminded.

"She brought us too," Martha II stated.

An unusual voice was heard when Aggie stepped aside to show them all of her friends and family, including her parents.

Cindy Lou beamed, "Wow, there are a lot of you guys."

"Please, darling, everybody said that about that when we came one world to another," Jewel the filly unicorn said.

Mothball then spotted the green creature, "So, you must be the Grinch. The one who had a problem."

"You can say that. Yes." The Grinch replied nervously.

Then, SmurfBlossom came out from the crowd and shook the Grinch's hand when she jumped off the ground, "Oh, my geez-to-petes! I'm SmurfBlossom. Nice to meet you. We don't have a Grinch. But we do have Danger Mouse, Dusty, Pooh Bear, Shaun the Sheep, Tinkerbell, Tankerblush, Rico, Renda... Oh, everyone can just introduce themselves later. Look at you. You're so different. I mean, sorry, but it's true. Do you know how to start a fire with just rope and a stick? I do. I can show you. Actually, SmurfStorm can show you. She's the best at that kind of thing. Right, Stormy?" Looking at the SmurfStorm, she stretched her bow and foam-arrow at the Grinch. He and SmurfBlossom stared silently at her. "That means 'yes.'" SmurfBlossom said. "Have you ever seen a rainbow? What about a double rainbow? What about an upside down rainbow? So, is your favorite song... 'Heeeey, hey, hey, heeeeey, hey, hey, hey-hey, hey'? 'Cause mine is. You're so green, and I'm blue."

"SmurfBlossom, remember, work on that filter, okay?" Brainy retrieved her from the Grinch to give him space.

"Right. Filter, filter." The girl smurf nodded.

Then, it's SmurfStorm's time to talk to the Grinch, "Alright, we're only here because SmurfAggie invited us. If this is some kind of trap, we're leaving."

Zany then levitated the tough girl smurf from the Grinch, "Aunt SmurfStorm, come on, we just met him. Don't be so rude."

"Oh man, we're so sorry about Storm. She's always been like this," Skepper apologized.

"That's okay. I'll get use to that," the Grinch said.

Aggie then turned to her family and friends, "Alright, guys, let me introduce to you my friends here. This is Grinch, the one I told you about. This is Donna Lou Who, her daughter, Cindy Lou, her two sons and Cindy's brothers, Bean and Buster, and this is Max, Grinch's dog."

"Oh boy, another dog to play with!" Sparky jumped up and down happily as flew towards Max.

Max also jumped up and down with Sparky and Sparkito.

"And guys," Aggie looked at her new friends. "These are my family and friends. We are called the 'Imaginary Team', or I team, for short. And these are my parents, Leo Galido and Bernadette Mondejar-Galido."

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Grinch," Leo extended his hand to him.

Grinch nervously shook hands with him, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Galido." Then, he shook hands with Bernadette who grinned delightfully at him. While he shook her hand, the Grinch thought he knew Aggie's mother before, which her face is familiar too him. After the hand shaking, Grinch leaned near Aggie's ear, and whispered. "You're mother look so familiar to me, just like you."

"That's also the reason why I'm here for," Aggie replied quietly.

"Then, why did you come back and change your mind of all of a sudden?"

"While we were planning for our New Year party, my husband showed me this."

When Aggie took out her spell book from her bag, and flipped the page open to the bookmarked page. The same page Red showed to Aggie. She then showed the page to Grinch. But when he looked at it, he's eyes widened and gasped in disbelief.

"How did you…? He was about to ask, but he was cut off.

"I'll explain later, but now, let's enjoy this party!" Aggie flew towards in front of the crowd.

The Grinch looked at the page of the book again before closing it, keeping this as a secret in the meantime. He then tapped Donna Lou on the shoulder, and offered his hand to her for a dance. Donna made a warm loving smile as she took the Grinch's hand and started to romantic dance.

The I team then observed the couple that Aggie helped in her mission.

"I think they're meant for each other," Fluttershy commented as the rest of the members of the I team nodded in agreement.

"Aggie did a great job. She was meant to take this mission after all," Junior added.

Before Aggie can sing a New Year song, Miley threw a microphone, and Chyna threw her wand staff at her.

"You know the plan, Aggie," reminded Miley.

"You go it, girl!" When Aggie caught the microphone and her wand staff, the staff turned into a musical instrument; keytar, and played its key to start the music.

All couples of Whoville and I team, including Aggie's parents, were dancing romantically in waltz, while the children and people who danced alone had their own free style of dancing, like disco and PSY's Gangnam Style.

Aggie: Oh...

You know it hasn't been bad More happy than sad But I'll tell you I'm glad When I think about starting all over again Yeah, I know where we've been But I don't think about then That was a moment But this is another

So we're not gonna cry When we say goodbye To the year that is quickly receding

We're not gonna look back We know we're on the right track And we all know that time is fleeting (Time is fleeting) Time is fleeting

'Cause you know it's a new year It's a brand new beginning Another 365 and the world keeps spinning

It's a new year It's a time for celebration The fun has just begun Yeah, it's gonna be a happy new year

(Gonna be a happy new year) (Gonna be a happy new year) Gonna be a happy new year (Gonna be a happy new year) Gonna have a happy new year

It's not only New Year in this world, it's New Year all over the universe as every living and non-living creatures of every world and every dimension celebrated New Year in style and in wild parties.

Aggie: 'Cause you know it's a new year It's a brand new beginning Another 365 and the world keeps spinning

It's a new year It's a time for celebration The fun has just begun Yeah, it's gonna be a happy new year

(Gonna be a happy new year) (Gonna be a happy new year) Gonna have a happy new year

Meanwhile, Grinch and Donna left the town to have some privacy for themselves, and went to the frozen lake where they had their first date. They sat down on the bench while watching more fireworks bursting in the open night sky.

"You know," Grinch started. "After all these New Years, I don't how what I would do with my life all over again."

"It's okay. If you want to start a new life, you know I'm always here for you," Donna promised as she turned to him, and when they looked at each other's eyes, a spark was ignited between them. "Happy New Year, Grinch."

"Happy New Year, Donna Lou," Grinch replied.

The two kissed tenderly and passionately as they started a new life together. A new beginning for the two of them. Their new found love changed their lives forever. Another firework flew up the sky, and went off reading "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

THE END

Well, This is the last chapter, and it's absolutely worth it. There was a little cliffhanger, but they're be plenty of time for that. I hope you enjoyed this.

The OCs I put there was quite complicated to understand, so here's my explanation:

Agatha Galido or Aggie is the main OC of all. Leo and Bernadette are Aggie's parents. Amaranth Red, Crimson Red and Clover Scarlet are the children of Aggie and Red from Angry Birds. Skenda, Kelda, Renda, Prenda, Dr. Blest, Maltor, Kira, Dona, Perkila, Smantha, Huntress, Saltor, Josalan, Sundai, Kessia, Wands, Toots, Blos, Bubs, Butters, Maren, Pelry, Aglet, Dofelia, Tankerblush, Perawankle, Iztchy, Lela, Tira, Petina, Baby Lela, Baby Marissa, Baby Petina, Azal, Pilair, Yi, Israbellra, Jolie, Mac, Mic, Skepper, Kelski, Reco, Prevate, Frantis, Jet, Samon, Josan, Pon, Pigla, Tiggro, Rabba, Eeyre, Owly, Raa, Lumpra, Cos, Tims, Pof, Sparkito, Ton, Jenny, Cot, Kit, Oggly, Joen, Markyless, Den Den, Phineaks, Flerb II, Jape, Cubry, Skulio, Brags, Daffu, Sylvestre, Twaty, Tenz, Baby Brags, Baby Daffu, Baby Silvestre, Baby Twaty, Baby Tenz, Seno, Pico and Yan are all guardians. They are my OCs. Guardians are protectors of every original characters from their respective shows and movies (except for Skepper, Kelski, Reco, Prevate, Frantis, Aglet, Dofelia, who were born guardians with one guardian parent and one wards parents, and their siblings are wards). Samuel, Joseline, Sunday and Jason are the children of Jack and Sally Skellington. Roy and Rebecca were the illegitimate twin hatchlings of Red and Ruby (female red bird from the Angry Birds seasons), just before red and Aggie were married. Julnie is the daughter of Nick and Judy. Martha II is the second child and daughter of Mavis and Johnny, named after Mavis' mother, Martha. Dracula and Ericka have a child, but I haven't come up with an idea yet, so he or she is absent. There are some OCs are not mine. I already asked permission to the owners of some OCs to borrow them. I even gave them voice actors and actresses. Characters like Lightning Dash, Thunder Dash, Prism, Cinnamon Stick, Cinnamon Roll, Apple Spike, Raspberry Pie, Blueberry Pie, Cherry Pie, Gemstone, Jewel, Zany, Apple Blossom, Twinkle Sparkle and Mothball belong to DisneyFanatic2364. Marie Flynn, daughter of Phineas and Isabella, belongs to Angelus19 and Sam-ely-ember. Thomas Fletcher, son of Ferb and Vanessa, was mentioned and also belongs to Angelus19 and Sam-ely-ember. Whittaker is a yet-to-be-seen/known OC.

Other members of the I team, Luke Skywalker, Ben Solo, Ferb Fletcher and Flerk Fletcha are absent. Luke Skywalker is training his nephew, Ben Solo, in his New Jedi temple he built on unknown planet. Ferb and his guardian, Flerk, were still in Camp David back in their home world. Dracula and Ericka's child from Hotel Transylvania was also absent, probably in Camp Winnepacaca. Nigel Uno or Numbuh 1 is absent when he joined the Galactic Kids Next Door since the last episode, Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.

Some members don't have speaking roles, so their respective voice actors and actresses weren't shown in the credits. Some members don't have longer lines, but they have lines when they all speak in unison, so their voice actors and actresses were credited. Few members are absent, but they were mentioned.

This story took place in 2042 and '43, instead of 2018 to '19. It's a long story that I have to explain soon.

The songs don't belong to me. Happy New Year by Olivia Olson from Phineas and Ferb. Credit song: Better When I'm Dancin' by Meghan Trainor.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

The Grinch 2: Happy New Year Chapter 17-Goodbye Aggie

In his bedroom, his new alarm clock rang with a love song, "I Really Like You" by Carly Rae Jepsen. The Grinch got out of bed happily as he danced like a ballerina and turned it off. Because of his first date last night, he felt like he was in a dream land. While he was waking before switching the alarm clock off, he thought he was just dreaming about dating with Donna, but it isn't a dream, it's real. His memories of his first date with the love of his life was had came back. Grinch had a great time last night. The eating, the dancing, and… that kiss. That sweet, soft and tender kiss. He never felt something good and nice before. He just kissed those strawberry-flavored soft lips… or she's the one who pulled him into a kiss, but it was worth and it felt… so nice… and so incredible. He clutched his chest again, and felt his heart beating even faster and louder than ever. He is in love with her, even while, before or after they've kissed. It was the most happy memorable of his life yet.

Without waking his dog up, the Grinch decided to do his morning routine on his own. Taking a shower, drying his fur, used toothbrush and breath spray, taking the right everyday-clothes, and brushed his fur in front of the mirror. He decided to take the stairs again than using the elevator chair. When he made it to the kitchen, he took out all ingredients out from his kitchen cabinet to make pancakes.

Max woke up on his bed when he smelled something good. He got off his doggy bed, and found his master was making pancakes when he flipped them with a pan. The dog whimpered curiously.

"Morning, Max," the Grinch greeted his favorite dog as he flipped the pancake on Max's doggy plate. He even put butter and syrup for that. Then, he made himself coffee, took out two plates as he put two pancakes on each plate. He put them and Max's doggy plate on the dinner table. Max hopped on the chair where his plate was in front of him, and ate the pancake.

Grinch chuckled, happy to see his dog happy, "You're welcome, Max. Now, we'll just wait for Aggie to come down." He drank his coffee, sliced his pancake, and ate it.

They've been waiting for Aggie for half-an-hour, but she hasn't come down yet. Grinch and Max became suspicious and worry. Aggie was never late for breakfast. There has to be a problem.

"Come on, Max, let's go check on her," Grinch said as he and Max walked upstairs and stopped at the mid-stairs to check on Aggie. He knocked on her door, but she didn't answer, "Agatha?" He called, then opened the door. "Aggie?" He then saw Aggie packing her things in her backpack. "What are you doing?"

"Um, I'm packing," Aggie answered.

"For what?"

"Home. I'm going home."

"W-What? But why?"

"My element glowed again last night, just like when it first glowed. It means my mission is over. I'm done here. I'm going home."

The Grinch was quite shock that his new friend is leaving, even before New Year. They're just starting to get along so fast, but life is short and time flies so fast. "But we have so much time to do. It's New Year, and we're going to Donna's tonight."

"I told you, Grinch. I can't," Aggie stood up to stretch her legs. "Since my mission in over before New Year, I have to catch it up to celebrate with my family and friends. I'm sorry, Grinch, but I really have to go."

"But… But I thought."

"Hey. You said it yourself. Secretly you don't want me here 'cause I'm annoying and you're willing to help me finding my mission just to get rid of me, but it's okay. I got use to it, but there's one thing I'm confuse. Why now? Why you want me to stay all of a sudden?"

That question hit the Grinch on the heart, like a sharp blade. He was impressed that Aggie knew his secret of getting rid of her, which he was relief that she took it well, but the longer she stays, the stronger the bond between the two, and Aggie reminded Grinch of someone he knew that he never seen for a very long time. He sighed, and explained, "Do you remember when we first met that I know you before?"

"Yeah, and that was a confusing question." Aggie said, "Do you really know me?"

"Nope. not exactly, but I want to show you something," the Grinch walked out of her room and up to his bedroom as Aggie and Max followed.

When they reach the bedroom, Grinch sat on his bed, and lifted his pillow to get retrieve something that he kept.

"What is that?" asked Aggie as she sat beside him.

The Grinch showed her a picture of his younger self and his best friend, "that is Whittaker. He's a friend of mine when we were still at the orphanage. We used to have fun together, celebrating Christmas, exchange gifts, sharing secrets and anything. We were so close, like brothers. But he was adopted when we were four. I never saw him again. You look exactly like Whittaker. That's why I've been mistaken that I thought you're him."

Aggie took the picture and looked closely at it, mainly Young Whittaker. There's nothing similar to them, except their eyes. They have the same color and shape, "You're right, though. Whittaker looks just like me, only the eyes."

"He was also a friendly, supportive and annoying friend, like you. You almost reminded me of him. That's why I'm starting to like you as a friend. I just hope you can stay a bit."

"I'm sorry, but I still can't. I have to go home. I have thing to prepare for New Year. My friends and family are waiting for me. They were counting on me since I'm in-charge for the New Year party we planned. They need me."

"Well," He sighed sadly. "If that's what you want and it's very important, I won't stop you."

"Thanks, Grinch, but before I go," Aggie stood up from the bed. "I want to say goodbye to all of my friends here in this world. Can you help me?"

Grinch nodded, "Sure, I'm happy to."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later, Grinch, Max and Aggie travelled down from Mt. Crumpit, and almost passed Bricklebaum's house. He was seen testing his New Year decorations until he noticed his neighbors almost passed his house.

"Hey, Grinchy, Aggie! What's up you two?!" Bricklebaum rushed towards them with open arms.

"Hey, Bricklebaum, we're just going to see you," the Grinch replied.

"Aww, isn't that nice? So how's your date with Donna?"

"It went well, more than we thought," Aggie answered. "They also kissed."

"Aggie!" groaned the Grinch.

"Bricklebaum gasped, "Really?! I knew you had it in you! Come on and give me a hug." He squeezed his neighbor in for a hug.

The Grinch hugged him back before breaking the hug, "Anyway, the reason we're here is…"

"I'm leaving," Aggie finished the sentence. "And I'm going to say goodbye to you."

"What? Where are you going?" asked the jolliest Who in town.

"My mission is over. I'm going home."

"But there's gonna be a countdown tonight. Could you stay for the New Year?"

"I can't. My family and friends are waiting for me. We're going to have a New Year party back in my world. I also promised them that I'll go home before New Year."

"that's too bad because we'll have lots of fireworks and we're going to have a big feast tonight."

"Sorry, Bricklebaum, but I have to go home."

Bricklebaum hung his head down, "Oh well, I hope you can come and visit us. And maybe next year, you'll celebrate New Year's Eve with us."

"I'll be honored. I promise that," Aggie smiled.

"Well, we should go to Donna. We'll let her and Cindy Lou know that you're going home today," Grinch suggested.

"Alright, I'll see ya around, Mr. Bricklebaum," Aggie waved goodbye at him.

"Goodbye, Aggie. Be careful and go home safely," Bricklebaum waved back at her as he sadly went back to his house to test the decorations again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three entered Whoville. Aggie got a chance to see the town one last time before going home. They headed straight to the Lou-Who household. The Grinch rang the bell as Cindy Lou answered the door as she opened it, and happy to see Grinch, Max and Aggie again.

"Mr. Grinch, Ms. Aggie, you're here and you're early!" She exclaimed.

"Good morning, Cindy Lou," the Grinch greeted.

"I just wanted to say thank you for making my mom happy again. She was so happy since last night."

"Yeah. It's no problem. Is she here right now?"

"No. She was at work. She left early this morning. Why are you looking for her?"

"Actually, I'm the one who was looking for her," Aggie cut in as she looked down at the little girl. "Cindy Lou, I'm leaving."

"What? Where are you going?" asked Cindy.

"I'm going home… back to my home world. My mission is over, so there's nothing for me to do here if I say. I have to go home." The winged human explained.

Cindy Lou felt her heart break when her new and even close friend is going to leave her and from this world. The girl hugged Aggie tighter and sobbed, "Please don't go! We were having so much fun together! Please stay for New Year! There's gonna be a big party here."

"I'm sorry, sweetie, but I also have my family and friends waiting for me. They need me, they miss me, and I miss them. I miss my children. They need me. I need to be home to my family," Aggie bent down and wiped the tears from Cindy's eyes.

She sniffed and hugged Aggie tighter, "I want you stay for a bit, but I understand you need to go home. You're a mother too, just like my mom. Your children and family need you."

"But I won't leave yet not without saying goodbye to your mother. She's always been so kind to me."

"She's at the hospital, but we can go there. I'll have to get baby stroller," Cindy Lou went back inside to get the stroller.

"Right! We can't leave the twins alone!" The Grinch agreed as he rushed in to help Cindy getting her brothers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they're ready, Grinch put the twins on their baby stroller, and he, Cindy Lou, Max and Aggie walked to the other side to take a ride in a bus, but the bus already drove away.

"Oh no, the bus!" Cindy Lou exclaimed.

"We have to catch it!" Aggie screamed.

The four ran as fast as they can to catch up with the bus. The Grinch was having a hard time running while pushing the baby stroller. They tried to avoid the Whos in front of them, trying not to push or hit them.

"Wait, Mr. Sam, wait!" Cindy Lou yelled as she tapped the door bus hard to get Sam the driver's attention.

"Pull over, please!" Grinch did the same what Cindy Lou did.

When Sam heard the loud tap and loud voice outside of his bus, he noticed the green creature, a little girl, a human with wings and a dog ran to catch up the bus. Sam stopped the bus and opened the door for his three passengers a dog and two babies, "Sorry, Mr. Grinch, Cindy Lou."

"That's okay, Mr. Sam," Cindy Lou said as she put the coins she saved on the box, and she joined Grinch, Max, Aggie and the twins on their seat. "Thanks for stopping."

"You guys run so fast. What's the occasion?" Sam asked.

"We just want to see mom in the hospital," Cindy replied.

"Oh, yeah, she never ride in the bus anymore since she has that snowmobile," the driver said. "I wonder where she got that."

"Uh, I built her that, so she won't be late for work," the Grinch confessed.

"Ooooooooohhhhhh!" The passengers in the bus cooed.

"That's nice of you, Mr. Grinch. I'll drop you off to the hospital," said Sam.

"Thanks, Mr. Sam," Cindy Lou thanked the driver.

The bus stopped in front of the Whoville hospital where Donna Lou worked. Cindy Lou, Max and Aggie hopped off the bus while the Grinch carefully lowered the stroller, where the twins are, off the bus, and he dropped himself off as the bus drove away.

"Mom is still working. There's a chance we can still meet her," Cindy Lou said as she rushed inside.

"Cindy Lou, wait, don't go so fast!" The Grinch yelled as he rushed with the stroller to catch her up, and Aggie and Max followed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After talking to the doctor, Donna Lou was about to do her assignment when she heard someone at the counter.

"I'm sorry, but Nurse Donna is quite busy."

"But we're just here to see her."

Donna recognized that voice as she rushed to the counter, only to see her children with Grinch, Max and Aggie. "Cindy Lou?"

The girl turned to see her mother, "Mom!" She rushed to hug her.

Donna hugged her tightly as she was happy to see her, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you, as was Grinch," Cindy giggled.

"Cindy Lou! Seriously?!" the Grinch gritted his teeth in embarrassment.

Donna then looked at the Grinch with a smile on her face, "Thanks again for the date last night. It was wonderful."

The Grinch nervously chuckled, still scratching the back of his neck, "You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it."

Giving the Grinch a break, Aggie stepped forward, "hey, Donna, I'm actually reason they came here."

"Oh, Aggie, what's wrong?" asked Donna.

"I… I'm going home. My mission is over here," she answered.

"But what about New Year?! You're invited for New Year dinner at my house tonight."

"Yes, but I have my own New Year dinner back in my world, and my friends and family can't celebrate New year without me. They need me. And I can't leave without saying goodbye to you."

"Oh, Aggie," Donna placed her hands on Aggie's shoulder. "You've been a great friend and you helped me a lot too. I just want to make up to you after your hard work. And thank you for… helping me out of everything."

"It was no big deal," Aggie said. "And you don't have to invite me after my hard work. I don't need a prize, as long as my new friend is happy." She glanced at the Grinch, who made a thankful smile to her, showing how happy he is. Her hard work was worth it.

Donna then looked down at her clipboard, "Oh, I have to take this assignment in the waiting room."

"Can we come with you? You know, as my last tour in this town?" Aggie asked.

"Sure, just don't touch any patience. Their sickness might be contagious," the mother warned as they followed her to the waiting room. "And you're going to leave the twins and Max with my friend at the counter. Babies and animals are not allowed to be near sick people."

"Sorry, Max," The Grinch said to his dog as Max whined sadly. At least he can spend more time with Bean and Buster.

When the Grinch left the twins and Max to Donna's friend at the counter, he, Cindy Lou and Aggie followed her to the waiting, where they encountered a red cardinal bird with a blue baseball cap and wore a doctor coat. He was almost half of Aggie's size. This bird is not like a regular bird in Whoville or in this world, but this may be belonging from another world, which Aggie recognized him.

"Roy?" She inquired.

The red bird turned to her with a nervous grin, "Hey, Aunt Mom."

"You know him?" Asked Donna.

"Yeah, he's my stepson," answered Aggie as she turned to Roy. "What are you doing here?"

"I'll tell you what I'm not doing here: Giving sponge baths to big hairy guys," Roy explained but his stepmom didn't buy it as she moved closer to him. "So, Aunt Mom, what's… what's the happs? What's—" Before he can say anything else, Roy accidentally held on one of the curtains and fell, opening the curtain and revealing another red bird, who was older than Roy, lied down on a bed, while the other red bird, who was at Roy's age with a red bow, stood beside the older red bird.

"Hey, honey!" Red greeted.

"And who's he?" Cindy asked again.

"I think that's Aggie's husband," Grinch guessed as Cindy and Donna had their doubts.

"Red!" Aggie yelled.

"Nice work, son." Red glared at Roy, who just shrugged.

"Yep. That's him," Donna believed.

Aggie was confused about what's happening right now as she asked, "Okay, what's going on here?"

"Dad fell down the stairs and broke his butt," Rebecca, Red's daughter, Aggie's step-daughter and Roy's twin sister, explained.

Aggie then asked Red, "You weren't holding the egg, were you?"

"Um, yes. Then no…, then yes again," Red said honestly, describing the whole about what happened.

The winged human was frustrated and pulled her hair in depression, "Red, you promised me you weren't gonna drop this one!"

"Honey, look, it was just a little accident. Oh, and by the way, for the record, an amazing catch!"

"I knew this was a huge mistake. I never should've gone on this mission."

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, this is all gonna be okay."

"No. No, it's not. It's too hard. I can't do this anymore. I mean, what made me think I could go on a mission to complete it non-stop, and take care of three kids and an egg while taking charge of the whole team?!" Aggie sat down on a chair, and cried. "I'm a terrible mother!"

"No, no, you're not," Red protested, comforting his wife. "Look, if anything, I'm a horrible father."

"I know!"

"Would you guys chill? You're great parents," Roy cut in. "Rebecca, Amaranth Red, Crimson Red, Clover Scarlet and me turned out pretty good."

"Yeah, come on. We've got to be doing something right," Red agreed. "I mean, hey, look at this, your stepson's a doctor." He pointed at his son as he reminded that Roy is still wearing a doctor coat.

Aggie laughed the sadness and guilt out from her eyes, "I'm serious. With both of us working, our poor little egg doesn't stand a chance."

"Come on, no one's going solo on this. All of us are gonna help out. And if the egg hatches and our little brother or sister gets a little messed up along the way, we can all share the blame." Rebecca said as the parents nodded.

Just then, a voice was heard through the P.A., "Dr. Wholavier, to the operating room."

When Roy remembered he wore a doctor's coat with Dr. Wholavier's name tag, he played along as he walked out of the door, "It never ends!" He complained.

After the teenage bird left, it's time for the Grinch to introduce himself to the husband of his new friend, "You must be Aggie's husband. Hi, my name is Grinch." He extended his hand to the bird.

"Oh, you must be the Grinch. My wife told us about," Red shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you. So, did my wife do a great job while she was on a mission?"

"Quite annoying at first, but she's a good friend."

"She is, that's why I love her."

"Red! Not in front of the kid!" Aggie pointed at Cindy Lou.

The little Who-girl walked towards Red, and shook hands with him, "Hi, Mr. Red. My name is Cindy Lou. Cindy Lou Who, and this is my mother, Donna Lou"

"It's nice to meet you two, and this is my daughter, Rebecca," He introduced his daughter to the girl.

"Hi, Cindy Lou," Rebecca bent down to her.

"So, what brings you here, Mr. Red?" Donna Lou asked.

"Well, after I fell down the stairs, I decided to go to the hospital, but I wanted to make sure if my wife would come home, so we take this hospital instead," Red explained.

"Well, you're in luck, hon, because my mission is over here. I can go home," Aggie said.

"You can?!" Red was surprised as his wife nodded. "That's great. We can celebrate new Year together!"

But the three Whos felt sad that their new friend will go as Cindy Lou yanked at Aggie's dress, "Do you really have to go? You can still celebrate New Year with us. We still have room for one more."

"I have to, Cindy Lou. You have your family, and I have mine. This is important. I hope you understand."

The girl choked the sadness in her throat and responded, "I understand."

"We're gonna miss you, girl," the Grinch added.

"Don't worry. I'll come to visit any time. I promise," Aggie held her hand up.

Red watched this scene as he felt guilty for his wife. It's her choice that she should go home to celebrate New Year with them; her friends and family, but he noticed that deep down, Aggie felt so guilty for rejecting an invitation from her new friends.

"We'll just go home, right after we fix Red's butt," She glared at her husband who grinned sheepishly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Donna gave Red pain medication, it's time for the family to go home. Outside the hospital, Aggie opened the portal with her interdimensional remote control, and looked back to the Grinch.

"I'm really glad I met you," She smiled.

"Yeah, me too," Grinch replied as he hugged her. Even Cindy Lou, Donna and Max joined the hug.

"We're gonna miss you, Aggie," Donna told her during the hug.

"Oh, I'll be back. Maybe in few days. Just look out for open portals like this," Aggie winked.

"Come on, Aunt Mom, we really should be going," Rebecca called.

When they broke a hug, Aggie shook the Grinch's hand one more time before following her husband and stepchildren. She waved at the Lou-Who family, the Grinch and Max one more time as she entered the portal and it closed.

As the portal disappeared, the Grinch shook his head down sadly again after Aggie's departure. Donna rested her head on his arm to comfort him.

"This is what she wants, Grinch," She told him with her soothing voice. "She has a family to take care of. She's really a great friend."

"Yes, she is," He agreed. "She really reminded me of Whittaker. My best friend."

The Grinch 2: Happy New Year Chapter 16-The Perfect Date

Finally! I did it! I finish this chapter, and I know you'll love it. Please read, and review. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night has finally came. The sun has set, and the Whos turned on their lights. The town always shined brightly every night. Some families tested the fireworks they brought for the New Year.

At Mt. Crumpit, the Grinch read a blueprint while counting the steps from the lever box to a giant catapult.

"Uh, Grinch, what's with the catapult?" Aggie asked.

"You will know," said the Grinch as he put two bricks under the wheels of the catapult so they won't move.

Aggie looked at the catapult, and found the bouquet of flowers and boxes of chocolates in the scoop, "Oh, now I get it. You're going to catapult the gifts to Donna's house, and when she got them you'll show up, like a surprise!"

"Close, but wrong, girl. I'm just going to catapult the gifts, and Donna will get them. End of story," the Grinch explained.

"What?! Aren't you going to get her for your date?"

"Yeah, about that… I change my mind. I'm not going to date her."

Aggie yelled in shock and rage, "WHAT?!"

"I'm sorry, Aggie, I still can't do it. I'm quite nervous," Grinch rubbed his hand nervously.

"I can't believe I wasted my time buying these stuffs from the mall for your date, which you're going to abandoned!" the winged human shouted. "But this isn't all about me. Donna's gonna hurt if you don't show up.".

"She'll be so hurt if everyone finds out I'm dating her, and they'll laugh at her. I don't want to hurt her. She's too kind for that. So, I'm not going to date her."

"You're lying."

"How would you know?"

"You're lips are movin', and I know when someone's lying. I'm a detective once, you know. So, you tell me the truth, or I'll blast you with penguins in three seconds!" Aggie pointed her wand staff at him as it glowed, ready to blast

"Alright, fine!" The Grinch shouted and grunted in defeat. "You want to know why?! Because she doesn't love me!"

Aggie's anger faded as she slowly lowered her wand staff from him, "What did you say?"

Grinch hung his head down, "She doesn't love me. I got the feeling she doesn't like me at all."

"How can you say that? She said 'yes'."

"Of course she said yes, so she can make me happy. But I know she doesn't feel the same if I'll tell her I love her."

Aggie, tired of standing on the snow, sat down beside the catapult, "I… I don't understand. What's really going on, Grinch? What's up with you?"

The Grinch exhaled after his shout as he sat down beside Aggie to explain, "Do you remember when you and Cindy Lou were outside of her house removing the Christmas decorations and I was inside?"

"Yeah. So?" asked Aggie.

"I was up in Donna's bedroom that time. When I was cleaning, I saw the picture of her and her husband of their wedding day. She was so happy when her husband was still alive. Then, I was thinking, if her husband already died, why didn't she find someone new so she won't be alone taking care of Cindy Lou and the twins while she's working?"

"Maybe she wants to take care of them on her own."

"I know that, but I think it was something else… she still loves her husband. Everybody knows that, Aggie. Just like you. A woman never leaves her man because she still loyal and loves him, even if he's dead or alive. Donna never want to find someone to replace her husband and have someone other than him. She kept herself busy so she won't think of other man catching her eye, and stayed taking care of their children. And maybe if I'm with her, I might ruin their family if Donna spends a lot of time for me than the children. I don't think they're ready for a new father. I don't want to ruin their family and happiness, just like when I almost ruined their Christmas. Cindy Lou still loves her dad. Donna still loves her husband. Even if the twins never got a chance to meet their real dad, I don't think they'll accept as their new dad. I don't want to be a substitute. I don't want to take Mr. Who's place at all. It's unfair for their family. It's hopeless, Aggie. I don't think they have enough love for someone like me… I don't think I have enough love for them too. I'll ruin everything if I stay with them."

Aggie felt guilty after listening to the Grinch's real reason. She also cried when Grinch started to cry when he shared his confession to her. She placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "I know how you feel. When I almost married Red, I feared that Roy and Rebecca won't accept me as their step-mom or 2nd mother, because Ruby was their real mother, and I'm marrying their father. I also feared that they won't love me, and there's not enough love for them to love me as their family. But, you know what I discovered, Roy and Rebecca already accepted me, even before I married Red. I'm already part of their family because I'm also their godmother. I was so relief and happy for that. Even if Roy and Rebecca weren't my kids, I already treated them as my own, kindly and fairly. As for you, Grinch, that won't happen. You just thought wrong. You will never replace Mr. Who. Donna Lou kept the picture of her husband because she missed him so much, and she won't be lonely all the time, even before and after going to sleep. I also spoke to Cindy Lou one day. She said she still loves and misses her dad, but she really wants a father-figure by her side, and she wants her brothers to have the same since they never met their father. And Cindy Lou wants you to be their father-figure. She knows you're the one. She also told me that Mr. Who wants his wife to be happy, and you're still the one. I also felt that Donna really wants someone to make her feel love again, and still, it's you. If Bricklebaum said himself, Donna deserves to have someone by her side because she's an intelligent, hardworking and beautiful woman, and you deserve to be love by someone like her. So, what do you say?"

The Grinch quite touched about Aggie's reflection. But still, she's right though. Donna deserves to be love again after her loneliness of the loss of her husband, and her kids need a father by their side. Their family would be incomplete without one important family member. Grinch really wants the Lou-Who family to be happy, and feel complete again, but he always thinks of consequences. What if it was the exact opposite of what he was thinking if he lives with them? It would be a disaster. He doesn't want that to Cindy's family. He never plans this at all. Grinch got up and left Aggie sitting below the catapult, "Forget it, Aggie. I'm not worthy to be part of their family. I'm too different and too much for this family. They still be happy without Mr. Who or me around. I'll just catapult the gifts to Donna Lou's house, and we're done." He started to pull the hook of the catapult with him.

"Oh, Grinch," Aggie sighed sadly. She felt so sorry for him, and she couldn't accomplish this mission if the Grinch can't go on his very first date. When she got up from sitting, she noticed the bricks near the wheels of the catapult as she suddenly has an idea.

The Grinch almost reached the lever box while pulling the hook of the rope that connected to the catapult, "Alright, just attach this here, and we'll be ready to launch." He finally hooked the rope with the lever box.

As planned, Aggie secretly used her telekinesis to moved the bricks from the wheels as the catapult started to move, and Aggie whistled, pretending that she didn't do anything. Max noticed the bricks are moving, but didn't know it was Aggie, and the catapult started to slide towards the Grinch. The dog barked loudly to warn his master.

"I know, Max. She's gonna love my gifts," He laughed until he turned around, and noticed the catapult is coming towards him. He was pushed by thick snow as he jumped on the heavy counter-weight, which the catapult rolled on the edge. He noticed the flowers and chocolates are going to fall from the bucket. The Grinch quickly crawled up to the bucket, and pushed the catapult with his weight backward to stop it from rolling and almost down the edge. That was a close call as Max and Aggie met up with him. "Whoo! That could be so much worst." But then, he noticed Aggie turned her wand staff into a knife, and was about to the cut restraining rope. The Grinch discovered if she cut the rope, the catapult will send him and the gifts to Whoville. "Aggie!"

"Sorry, Grinchy, but this is for your own good!" yelled Aggie.

"Oh, you're so evil!" Grinch gritted his teeth angrily.

With one last smirk on her face to her new friend, Aggie successfully cut the restraining rope, catapulting the Grinch and the gifts towards town.

"WWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed.

Max watched in worry for his master, but Aggie still smiled for her work, "Well, at least he can still go on his date."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Lou-Who household, Donna and Cindy Lou went outside to check if the Grinch came, but he didn't.

"Where's Mr. Grinch?" Cindy Lou checked on the clock. "It's 7:30, and he wasn't here!"

"It's a long walk from Mt. Crumpit, dear," Donna Lou defended. "It's not like he's gonna fly here for 2 seconds."

Suddenly, the mother and daughter heard a familiar scream coming from nowhere. Then, they saw the Grinch coming from above, and landed in front of their house under the snow, followed by two gifts.

"Oh my goodness, Mr. Grinch, are you okay?!" Donna rushed down few steps to help the Grinch up, followed by her daughter, who also helped him up.

"Yeah. I'm okay," the Grinch grunted when he got up. When he wiped the snow off his suit, he stared at Donna in awe. He froze when he caught sight of the Who woman in front of him. She was dressed in a beautiful sparkly or glittery purple dress. She was also pretty because of the make-up, earrings on her ears, and the same headband she has on her hair everyday. When he kept staring at her, the Grinch's heart starting to beat rapidly again, but he clutched his chest to lower its volume, and his cheeks turned red, even behind his green fur.

Donna Lou raised an eyebrow when she noticed him staring. "Are you alright, Grinch?"

Grinch shook his head, "Yeah, I, uh… I'm fine." Then, he noticed he was holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates with just one hand. "Um… for you!" He grinned nervously.

Donna delightfully took the flowers, and sniffed them, "Wow, tulips, orchids and lavenders! My favorite. How did you know?"

"Let's just say, I had some help," Grinch said, referring to Aggie, and, possibly, with Cindy Lou.

"These are wonderful," Then, she opened the box with plain and white chocolates. "Wow, these are so… delightful. Thank you. You're so thoughtful, Grinch."

"Heh, heh, I am, aren't I?" Still nervous, Grinch scratched the back of his neck.

Then, Donna turned to her daughter, "Cindy Lou, could you please bring these in the house?" She handed the flowers and chocolates to her.

"Sure, Mom," Cindy took the flowers and chocolates, and rushed back inside the house to keep them.

When the girl is inside, it's the Grinch's time to take her on a date. There's no turning back now, "So, um… are we ready to go?"

"Wait! I have to call Mrs. Wilbur to look after the kids," Donna said as she was about to rush back to the house.

"No need, Ms. Who…" When there was a sudden breeze blowing the couple's hair, Aggie appeared with Max in front of them. "I'll watch over the kids tonight."

"Are you sure you can handle this, Aggie?" asked Donna.

Aggie held her hand up, "Please. I have three children, two step-children, and 100 godchildren. I know how to babysit young children."

"Well, alright," Donna almost had her doubts. "But remember to feed the twins, put them to bed, and Cindy Lou should be on her own bed before 10pm. There are some leftovers in the fridge for you two to eat, and her friends should go home before 9pm."

"I got this, Donna. Now, you two enjoy your night and have fun!" Aggie carried Max, flew inside the house, and closed and locked the door.

Grinch and Donna just stared in confusion. That was until the Grinch gave his hand to Donna. "So…" Cleared his throat. "Shall we?"

Without hesitating, Donna took the Grinch's hand, and the two started to walk out from the house.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Cindy Lou and Aggie watched Grinch and Donna go through the window, and then turned to Groopert, Axl, Ozzy and Izzy.

"Alright, guys, are you ready?" asked Cindy Lou.

"YEAH!" Her gang exclaimed excitingly.

"Great! Now, let's do what we've planned for!"

"Just stay close to me," Aggie added.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The couple then walked over the bridge, leading themselves out of Whoville.

"So, where are you taking us?" inquired Donna.

The Grinch then realized he doesn't know where they can have their date, "Well, you see… um…" Before he can answer in panic, there are blinking arrows suddenly shown on the snow, pointing them to their locations. The Grinch didn't know what's going on, but he knew who's responsible as he decided to play along. "We'll just follow the arrows! It's a surprise."

"Wow, Mr. Grinch, you really prepared yourself," Donna said as she followed the blinking arrows, while the Grinch looked around him to find someone he knew who was responsible for this, but he tried to ignore it as he followed Donna.

Behind the arc of at the entrance of Whoville, Aggie, the kids and Max were following them, and when Aggie's wand staff was glowing, this means she made blinking arrows on the snow, to guide the two to the location of their date spot.

When they got through the pine trees with snow and stepped on the last blinking arrow, the Grinch and Donna discovered they are on the frozen lake. For the Grinch, he thought this is a wrong place, but for Donna, it's a beautiful place. When Aggie, the kids and Max were hiding behind the trees and bushes, Aggie poofed up Christmas lights on trees to make the place brighter, and a dinner table for two with a plate of spaghetti with meatballs, two glasses, a bucket of ice with a bottle of wine in it, and a candlelit on the middle. The Grinch and Donna were surprised by the place that it magically changed from dark place to a bright beautiful place.

Donna looked around in awe as her eyes reflected the lights, "Grinch, did you do all of this?"

"I did?" He was confused, but he has to play along so he won't mess this up. "I mean, yeah, I kinda did."

"I knew you're very thoughtful man, Grinch." Donna smiled as she grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's eat. I'm starving!"

The Grinch had to keep the pace when Donna rushed to the dinner table to eat. Grinch pulled a chair for her to sat down. When she sat on her chair, he sat down on his own chair.

"So, um, bon appetit," said the Grinch.

"Bon appetit to you too," replied Donna Lou.

Before the two can eat and Aggie was about to make music, she, the kids and the dog noticed the same goat they encountered yesterday, the strange one who screamed so loud. If it comes close to the dated couple and screams at them, their date would be ruin. Taking the risk, Groopert and Ozzy came out from the bushes with a net, and captured the goat with it while Grinch poured some wine in Donna's glass, which they are distracted and never noticed the two boys strangling the goat. In panic, Aggie quickly retrieved the kids with the goat, and ran back to the bushes, making rustling sounds.

The Grinch and Donna hears the sound as they looked around to see what's making that sound.

"What was that?!" exclaimed Donna.

"Probably it's just a squirrel," guessed the Grinch.

Behind the bushes, Aggie kept the goat's mouth close while keeping her own mouth close. The kids and Max kept themselves quiet as well. Aggie then poofed up a music player with romantic music as she put it in autoplay, and poofed two pairs of ice skates near the frozen lake, just in case. "Sorry, kids, let's leave them alone." She whispered before poofing themselves out of here, leaving the couple alone.

While eating, the two heard a soft romantic out of nowhere, but the music hypnotized them to look and smile at each other, then proceeded to eat their dinner. Grinch and Donna seemed to enjoy each other's company while eating their food. When they coincidentally slurped the same strand of the noodle of their spaghetti on ends, they almost led their lips to each other's into a kiss, but Donna shyly face away, and her cheeks turned red. The Grinch also blushed, but he rather not to discuss that right now. When he noticed there's not meatball left on her side, he gave the last meatball to Donna.

"Thank you, Grinch, but this is your meatball," Donna wanted to take the meatball back to him.

"I won't mind. It's yours," Grinch insisted.

"You're very thoughtful."

"And you're so beautiful."

"What?"

"Um... nothing! Nothing."

Grinch tried to compliment nicely while keeping his mouth shut, but things started to get awkward between them. However, Donna never saw any awkwardness between them at all. She thought it was cute when he grinned nervously at her. When they had finished eating, the music suddenly changed to the instrumental version of "Tale as old as time."

"Ooh, I love this song!" Donna listened to that beautiful music as she hummed to it.

Like what he read in the book, it's his chance to offer her to dance as he walked beside her and bowed while extended his hand to her, "May I have this dance?"

Donna was quite surprised and stared at his open hand as she giggled, "Of course." She then slowly took it.

The Grinch led her away from the dinner table to an empty space on the snow, not near the frozen lake, where it is safe for them to dance. Just like he practiced, he pulled her close as he gently took her hand with one of his hand, while he placed his other hand on her waist. Donna placed her other hand on his shoulder. When they're read, he secretly glanced down to his feet, imagining the paper footprints that he practiced yesterday. He followed the steps as he led themselves in a waltz, while she tried to keep with her partner since she never dance like this for a long time.

"Where did you learn to dance like this?" Donna inquired.

"Let's just say… I had lots of help from a friend," Grinch replied.

"I never knew you're a fast learner and a good dancer."

"Oh, I would never say I'm a good dancer. You see, this is my first date, and I want to make it perfect… just for you."

Donna blushed, "Thank you, and it's okay. I know what is like when you're in a first date since… well, I've been there before."

"Yeah, I know," the Grinch twirled her around.

When they were distracted in a dance, the two didn't noticed they were about to dance towards the frozen lake. Just one step backward, Donna had her foot on the frozen river as she almost slid backward. Luckily, the Grinch caught her and held her closer to his chest tightly. She tried to stand again, but she kept slipping as he held her even tighter, trying not to let her go.

"I just wish we have ice skates," Donna said.

The Grinch looked around, and noticed two pairs of ice skates beside them, "What about those?"

"That'll work," she answered.

When Grinch lifted her back up on the snow, he took the ice skates, while Donna removed her high-heeled shoes to wear those skates. Grinch volunteered to help her to put the skates on her feet, while he wore his own. When they were ready, he offered her hand again, but, this time, Donna hesitated.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm sorry," she hung her head down. "I just… I never danced on ice before."

But Grinch held both her hands, and said, "Don't worry. I will teach you."

Donna smiled and nodded in respond as he pulled her with him slowly on the frozen lake. Just like what they did on snow, they started to dance in a waltz, but more graceful. Grinch still held Donna closer so she won't let go and fall. Their waltz turned to, like, ballet when they lose their nervousness and fear of this dance on ice and they felt like having fun with each other. The Grinch twirled Donna three times before she leaned her head on his chest. He was quite shock though that she leaned on his chest, but he let her be as he wrapped one arm on her back. While she rested her head against his chest, Donna can hear the Grinch's heart beating rapidly and loudly. She wanted question him about this, but she doesn't want to interrupt him because he was so calm and relax when he pit his arm on her back. She never felt this feeling for a long time when she was with her husband, but now, she's letting someone else to do it.

When Donna lifted her head to face the Grinch, they stared at each other's eyes where, where emerald meets blue, with warm smiles on their faces. Because of this moment and were hypnotized by each other's eyes, they leaned their foreheads at each other, while feeling a warmth love around them, if that's what love feels like.

Donna was the first to pull away, "Uh…, I'm quite tired."

"Why don't rest for a bit?" the Grinch suggested.

"Good idea," She agreed as the two skated back on the snow, took their ice-skating shoes off, and sat back on a bench together.

When they rested, the Grinch and Donna were silent for a while, quite awkward to talk. They looked at the stars above them, and were fascinated when there are billion stars in the sky tonight as Donna rested her head on Grinch's shoulder, which made him blush.

Donna started to talk, "It's so beautiful out here, isn't it?"

"Uh, yes, it is," Grinch replied immediately. He was panicked.

"You know, I miss having dates, especially with my husband, Lou. He was such a gentleman when he asked set up a date for us."

"Did he set up a date like this, too?"

"Yeah, but just not like this. He made us dinner, took me to dance, but he never took me to an ice-skating. I never knew you're good at this."

"Well, I don't exactly do that all the time. I just dreamed to skate, but I never do that in public."

"Oh, but you should be. You're so amazing."

"Yeah, thanks." The Grinch scratched the back of his head and chuckled. Then, something in his head told him to ask some questions about her. Because of this date, it's his chance to get to know Donna better. "Donna, um, I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind at all." Donna turned away from the stars to look at the Grinch, "What is it?"

"Ever since your husband died, are you quite okay when you realized you're going to take care of Cindy Lou and the twins on your own?" He asked, but he thought that was a bad question.

Donna hung her head down in sadness, "To be honest, Mr. Grinch, I'm not actually sure that time. When Lou died, I was still carrying the twins. I don't know what to do. I feel so hopeless and sad, but I have to be strong… for my family, for Lou, for Cindy Lou, and for Buster and Bean. I work so hard, just for my family, and I have to take care of my kids on my own, even if I was really tired of all this work. I'm still a mother, and I'll do whatever it takes to make them better lives."

The Grinch stared at her in awe and felt so pity, "Wow, you're a very strong woman, Donna."

Her cheeks turned red again, "Thank you, and I'm so sorry for your loss."

"That's okay. I'm already happy with my children. What about you? Why you've been so alone in your cave and hate Christmas?"

"I…" Before Grinch can say anything, he realized he doesn't want to discuss about his past. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Come on, just tell me. You can trust me." Donna said, putting her hand over his.

When Grinch glanced at her hand on his and looked back at her, he exhaled sadly. "When I was a kid, I was an orphan. I never knew my real parents. I lived in the orphanage. Everyone teased me and made fun of me because of my... um, appearance. I have a best friend and roommate, Whittaker. He's the closest friend I've got, until he was adopted. After all the kids at my age were adopted, I was left alone in the orphanage. No one adopted me. I have no one to celebrate Christmas with."

Donna covered her mouth in shock as she felt pity when she heard his story, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Grinch. I didn't know."

"It's okay, Donna. I want you to know, anyway. I mean, I never told any Who about my past before."

Then, when she recalled he lived in his cave for 53 years, Donna just remembered that mysteries man who took her I from the cold when she was 5 years old, "It was you."

The Grinch raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"I remembered. It was you. When I was a little girl I lost my balloon and flew all the way up to Mt. Crumpit. I climbed there to retrieve it, but it was so cold up there, and I can't fight the blizzard. Then, someone carried me and took me inside a cave where it was warm and cozy, and I fell asleep. But when I woke up, I was here in Whoville with my balloon. I thought that was just a dream, but I'm not sure if it was a dream." Donna Lou explained.

The Grinch paused for a while and looked as he recalled that memory of finding a Who girl and took her inside his cave to warm her up, and then took her back to Whoville the next morning, "It's true. That was me. I saw you shivering. I wanted nothing to do to you, but I can't just leave you to die, so I took you in, warmed you up, fed you, and you fell asleep. And then, the next morning, I thought your parents might be worried, so I took back home with your balloon."

Donna almost sobbed and thankful for the Grinch, "Thank you so much for saving my life."

"No problem." Grinch nodded as he kept staring at the stars.

"I was wondering why you showed up a little late and you seemed so different than usual tonight. Is everything okay?" She asked.

When she questioned him, Grinch secretly started to panic in the inside. He doesn't want Donna to know what happened before he was catapulted to Whoville. It might break her heart. "It's nothing, Donna. I'm fine."

"You don't look so fine. It's written all over your face," she suspected. "Tell me, Grinch. What's going on?"

He can't lie to her anymore. He doesn't want to break her heart, but he doesn't want to keep secret fro Donna anymore as he sighed and confessed, "I was supposed to ditch you."

Donna didn't hear that, "What?"

"I was supposed to ditch you, okay?!" He replied loudly with guilt. "I'm not suppose to take you out."

"What do you mean? Why?"

"I'm sorry, Donna Lou. When Cindy Lou, Aggie and I cleaned up the house, I went to your room to clean, and I found the picture of you and her husband at your wedding day. I saw you were happy when your husband was still alive. When your husband died, I always wondered why you are still working at the hospital and taking care of your kids on your own without someone else to help you, and you didn't have time to find someone new for you. I only thought that it's because you're so busy, but I've been thinking something else… it's because you still love your husband and you remain loyal to him. A woman, like you, never leaves her man because she still loyal and loves him, even if he's dead or alive. I know you never want to find someone to replace your husband and have someone other than him. I thought you're already happy with your life, even without your husband by your side. You have three amazing kids to be with. I don't want to ruin your family! Maybe if I'm with you, I might ruin your family if you spend a lot of time for me than the children. I don't think they're ready for a new father. I don't want to ruin your family and happiness, just like when I almost ruined Christmas. Cindy Lou still loves her dad. You still love your husband. Even if the twins never got a chance to meet their real dad, I don't think they'll accept me as their new dad. I don't want to be a substitute. I don't want to take Mr. Who's place at all. It's unfair for your family."

Donna was so speechless. She doesn't know what to say. She doesn't expect that there's someone who said something like that to her. After the Grinch explained, she remembered her promise to Lou that her heart always belongs to him, but her own heart started to beat when she stared at the Grinch's nervous and sad face. Is she... in love again? She then felt very pity and worried for the Grinch as she leaned a little closer to him, "Grinch, I…"

"It's okay. I know you're mad. You have the right to be mad at me. I screw up. You still can't find someone to accompany you, not only because you has three kids to take care of, but also you still loved your husband and stayed loyal to him. I understand that." The Grinch waited for Donna to get angry at him with, probably, shouts or slaps or something else, because he deserved it.

But Donna never showed any anger at all. Instead she turned Grinch's head to look at her, "Grinch, I'm not mad."

He was confused, "What?!"

"I'm not mad at you. Why else I agreed to go out with you after you asked me out?"

"I just thought you say that because you don't want to hurt me, and I asked you out just to make you happy," He lied at the last part. "But I just realized when I know you still love your husband, you can't fall in love again,"

"Why do you say that?! I don't understand! It's like you…" Donna then realized something as she looked at the Grinch. "Are you saying… you love me?"

The Grinch covered his mouth as he doesn't want to tell his feelings for her, but when he looked at her, he can't keep it forever, "Yes. I love you, Donna Lou. I fell in love you when we met that Christmas. You're the strongest woman I know. I can't tell you because I know you don't feel the same way. I know you can't fall in love again, and you couldn't fall in love with someone like me. I'm the Grinch who was a grump and used to hate Christmas. No one wants to love someone like me. You're heart still belonged to your husband. I don't want to take your husband's place, not just for the kids, but also just for you. I don't think you and your kids have enough love for someone like me… I don't think I have enough love for them too. I'll ruin everything if I stay."

"Grinch, please, listen to me," Donna stopped him right there. "It's so not true. Yes, I still love my husband, and I still do, but that doesn't mean I don't have enough love with someone else." She noticed the Grinch had his eyes widened in shock. "Grinch, it's not true about what you said. My children, especially Cindy Lou, needs a father to be with them. And… I felt so alone after Lou died. I just kept it as a secret so everyone won't noticed I'm quite sad. I'm still happy with my children, but I miss Lou so much. It's like I really need someone to be with me. I didn't expect there was someone who wants to be with me… and it was you, Grinch. And it's not true that I can't fall in love again, because I can be in love again. And there is definitely someone who can love with someone like you… me."

"What?!"

"I love you too, Grinch. I see how much you help me a lot these days, and I appreciated it. You also love my daughter and sons. This made me feel I suddenly fell in love with you. Lou is a very nice man. He doesn't want me to be alone for the rest of my life because I love him. He wants me to be happy and to be with someone like you."

When the Grinch heard that Donna loved him back, his sadness and doubts turned to happiness and almost cried with joy, but there was also guilt, not to her, but to his two friends, "They were right."

"Who were right?" asked Donna.

"Cindy Lou and Aggie." He said. "They told me the same thing before our date, and I didn't listen. I have my doubts."

"It's okay. You've been alone for a long time now. I understand," she put her hand on his again. "I just hope this date was worth it for you."

"Well, I hope this is worth it for you. I never felt so alone when I'm with my dog and your family, especially with you."

"Grinch, I feel the same to you."

At this moment, when their faces are coming closer to each other, Donna grabbed the Grinch's black tie, pulled him closer to her, and kissed him on the lips. Grinch was a bit stunned, his were eyes wide open in shock but the kiss was soft and tender as he gave in and wrapped his arms around Donna, kissing her back. The kiss became intense as he leaned in a little more. Donna moved one hand on his cheek while her other hand rested on his chest, feeling his heart beating, and the two kept kissing passionately. After they felt like eternity, they finally parted, and had their cheeks turned red.

"T-that...that was.." Grinch tried to describe this situation.

"Incredible?" Donna asked, like she was reading in the Grinch's mind.

"Yeah...just like you said...incredible." Grinch said.

Donna leaned for another kiss as the Grinch returned the kiss, and they hugged.

After their long sweet date, the Grinch and Donna walked back to the her home. When they opened the door, they saw Aggie rubbing Cindy Lou's hair who was sleeping on her lap, while Max was there sleeping besides the two girls. Cindy Lou's gang were no longer here anymore since they already went home.

Aggie turned to noticed the Grinch and Donna, "Oh, you guys, you're here." She exclaimed silently while carrying Cindy Lou, and handed her to Donna. "Sorry, Ms. Who, I tried to send her to her room, but she wanted to stay and wait for you guys, until she fell asleep. You two came late."

"Sorry, we're quite… enjoying each other's company," the Grinch said.

""It's okay, Aggie, I'll take care of it," Donna took Cindy Lou from her.

"Well, I think it's time to go home, then," Aggie suggested as she tried to wake the dog up. "Max, come on, we're going home."

The dog got up and yawned, and when he turned to see his master, he jumped off the couch and ran towards him.

"Aww, I miss you too, Max, even if I was out for only few hours," Grinch playfully rubbed his dog's face.

"I'm having a great time, Grinch," Donna smiled at him. "You should celebrate New Year's Eve with us."

"I'll be honored." He bowed down in agreement.

"Thank you for the date. It's lovely," Donna surprised him with a kiss on his cheek, which Aggie and Max smirked at each other. "Good night. I hope you three go home safely." She closed the door in front of them.

Without saying a word and still stunned, the Grinch started to walk away from the house as Aggie and Max followed.

They traveled all the way up to Mt. Crumpit with a sweat or snow. When they made it to the cave and the Grinch closed the door behind them, he let out a sigh of happiness.

"Wow, you haven't talked all the way home," Aggie said.

"I did it, Aggie. I finally told Donna how I feel for her," He said happily.

"That's great. Anything else?" the winged human expected something else.

"Well, we ate, we danced and we… kissed."

"I knew it! I knew you can do it!"

"Yeah. It's quite hard when I told Donna my real reason why I almost ditched her. She took it well, and she loves me back."

"I told you she loves you."

"All thanks to you, little buddy," the Grinch bent down to reach Aggie's size. "You know, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have to courage to tell Donna my feelings for her, and I wouldn't tell Cindy Lou and Bricklebaum my secret. I believe now that this is your mission. Thank you."

"Aww, you're welcome, Grinch, and thanks for giving me a chance to help you. Just doing my job," Aggie chuckled.

Without hesitating himself, the Grinch hugged Aggie tighter as he was thankful for having a friend like her. Aggie was stunned and shocked though, but she returned the hug, glad that she helped him with his problems.

After the hug, Grinch scanned her face as he thought she looks so familiar to him, "You know, you reminded me of someone, but you don't him. He's a good friend of mine when I was at the orphanage. He was also a supportive and helpful friend just like you."

"Whoever he was, I'm sure he's glad to help you too."

"Yeah. I better go to bed. Donna invited us on their before New Year party tomorrow."

"Sure. Go along. Good night."

As Aggie watched the Grinch and Max walked to their respective bedrooms, which Max is in the kitchen, she noticed her element on her ID just glowed and blinked again, just like when she was called on a mission four days ago. This can only mean one thing…

"I did it." She smiled when she realized her mission is over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I remember there was a clip in YouTube that the Grinch dreamed or imagined to be a great skater when he watched it on TV, so I decided to use that in this chapter. So, during the date, an instrumental version of "Tale as old as time" was played in this chapter. I also reused the catapult scene from the movie. I hope you like it! Pls read and comment!

The Grinch 2: Happy New Year Chapter 15-Preparation of a date

The next morning, Cindy Lou's friends came in early at her house as she opened the door.

"Wow, you guys are early," She chuckled. "Come on in, my mom is sleeping from her night shift." Her friends entered.

"So, what will we do now?" asked Axl.

"We have to choose a dress for my mom. It's upstairs in her room. Don't worry, she's still sleeping," Cindy Lou whispered as they went up to Donna's room. When they entered, Donna was snoring so loud in her sleep. "Alright, guys, there's mom's closet. Let's just pick one if it's perfect for her date with Mr. Grinch tonight."

"You got it." Groopert gave her a thumb-up as the four children opened the closet, and picked the dress they suggested.

When they show the dresses the chose to her, Cindy Lou disagreed with some of the dresses, like yellow-green dress, Mexican dress, Minnie Mouse dress, and other ones. But when Izzy chose the purple glittery dress, Cindy Lou got up from the chair, and nodded happily as she agreed with that dress.

Meanwhile in Mt. Crumpit, on his doggy bed, Max heard the bell ringing rapidly from his master's bedroom. the dog quickly made coffee from the coffee machine, wore his tray hat with the coffee and creamer on it, and was about to take his elevator, but he felt Aggie took the tray from it.

"Don't worry, Max, I got it!" Aggie said as she flew as fast as she can up to the stairs, and Max followed him. Aggie can hear the bell from the kitchen to her room, so she actively left her room to help Max out.

When Aggie and Max made it to the Grinch's room, they were quite shock when they saw him doing butt exercise while wearing pants that read "Go Time". the dog was quite surprised his master did the same exercise again, while Aggie stared at him in disgust. When he bent down, he glanced as his two companions through between his legs.

"I read this in the book. Lovers starts with the abs, guys," Grinch said as the two were still disgusted by this.

"I think I'm gonna be sick!" Aggie held her barf in her mouth as she put the tray back on Max's head, and ran down the stairs to find a place to puke.

Ignoring his new friend running out of the room to puke, the Grinch made some stretches, until he's much relax again, "It's go time!"

The Grinch and Max descended to the library by his chair, while Aggie met up with them there from the door. Even Fred and his mate and child came too.

"Maybe I shouldn't let you read that book alone," Aggie said, still feeling dizzy after puking.

"I've been reading almost every page of the book you gave me, Aggie, and I just discovered that before taking Donna on our date tonight, I should give her little gifts; flowers and box of chocolates," The Grinch showed his friends the picture of the page where a male Who giving flowers to a female Who. "But how would I know if she likes them? What are her favorite flowers?"

While the Grinch was questioning himself, Aggie felt the head of her wand staff vibrating. She checked on its belly, and saw the name of Cindy Lou. Cindy Lou was the one who called her. She can't answer the phone with Grinch besides her. She has to find a place where she can answer her "phone" in private. "Umm, hold that thought. I'll be right back," Aggie told her friend as she rushed outside the library, shut the door behind her, and answered her penguin phone. "What is it, Cindy Lou?"

While her friends waited for Donna to wake up from her nap, Cindy Lou was downstairs where no one can here her talking to Aggie, "Aggie! Finally you answered!"

"Why? What's going on?" asked Aggie.

"I finally ask mom what's her favorite flowers last night before her night shift! They are tulips, any color, orchids, still any color, and lavender!" exclaimed Cindy Lou.

"This is great, Cindy! Just in time that the Grinch wanted to know your mom's favorite flowers, and he wanted to buy them for her. So, what about chocolates?"

"Well, she doesn't have favorite chocolates. She likes all kinds of it."

"That's okay. So, how was she? Is she ready?"

"Actually, she's still sleeping after work. My friends and I already chose a dress for her date."

"Perfect! Right on schedule! I'll see you tonight. We'll do just as we planned."

"Got it. See ya, Aggie," Cindy Lou turned her phone off.

When Aggie put her penguin phone back on its handle, she went back to the library, where the Grinch is still thinking about what flowers he should give to Donna. Aggie started to act casually.

"Sorry it took so long. A little bird told me that you should give Donna colorful tulips and orchids, and still purple lavenders. And if you want to know what kid of chocolate she likes, just give her anything," she said.

"All lavenders are purple, Aggie," the Grinch groaned and stood up from his chair. "And since when did you get a little bird?"

"I don't have a bird. I made it up," the winged human confessed.

"Then, how did you know Donna likes tulips, orchids and lavenders, and likes any kind of chocolate?" The green fellow asked.

"Just a hunch," she lied with a grin. "So, are you going back to Whoville and buy these things?"

"Actually, I have something else planned." The Grinch then turned to his dog. "Max, this morning, you, Aggie and I need to do some reckon." Then, he turned to the reindeer family, "Fred, Felicia, Fred Jr., you just sit right there, and don't touch anything."

Outside, the Grinch wore his monitor belt, and Max was tied with a drone on his back, and wore a helmet with a camera and headphone on it.

"Are you going to do the same thing again of what you did when you give Donna that snowmobile?" Aggie recalled.

"This is different this time, Aggie." The Grinch explained, "I'm going to send Max in Whoville just to check on the prize of the flowers and chocolates that Donna wants, and I'll list them so I'll be able to bring the right amount of money to buy."

Aggie's eyes widened when she realized his new friend was right, "Oh, very smart, Mr. Grinch."

Grinch then turned to Max as he activated the drone to make the dog fly, "Alright, Max, you know what to do. Ready? Now off you go, Max. Fly, boy! Fly!"

When Max flew towards Whoville, he encountered the snow birds, which he barked at them to say "hi."

The Grinch saw what the dog saw as he commanded, "Max, stop socializing!" The dog obeyed as he proceeded to fly to town. "Okay, let's check on the flower shop." When the dog stopped by at the window of the flower shop, the Grinch and Aggie saw the prize of the given flowers through the monitor.

"Hmm, tulips are $4, orchids are $9, and lavenders are $2. Not so expensive," Aggie read the prize and commented.

"Great, I'll list it down," the Grinch typed it on the calculator typewriter. "Now, Max, go the candy store," he ordered as the dog flew all the way to the candy store and stopped near the window.

Aggie took a look, and saw one of the isle has a load of different kinds of chocolates, "If I were you, I rather not taking the dark chocolate. It's too bitter."

"Well, I can't argue with that. Dark chocolates are bitter. The rest of the chocolates, like plain and white, they are all sweet, just like Donna."

"She is sweet, but do you think that she thinks you're sweet?"

"Ha, ha! Nice one!"

While scratching behind his ear with one of his hind legs and heard his master and new friend talking, Max spotted counter of sausages as he delightfully flew towards it.

Without noticing his dog was after the sausages, the Grinch is still computing the prize for the flowers and chocolates, "Okay, let's see here. 10$ for white chocolates. For 50$, that would be sausages. Sausages?!" When he looked at the motor again, he realized his dog was onto the sausages again. "Max, please, not now! I'll buy you sausages later!"

But it's too late. Max took a bite on a sausage, but his propeller was tied by a rope of sausages. The drone was out of control, driving the dog into a trouble crazy joy ride.

"MAX!" The Grinch shouted in worry when he saw through his monitor that the drone was spinning out of control with his dog tied to it. "Max, are you okay?!" The next thing he saw through the monitor is himself and Aggie. "Oh, hey look, Aggie, it's us!" Then, he realized his dog is coming towards him so quickly, "Oh, dear."

When Grinch and Aggie glanced an incoming dog, Max crashed into his master with sausages with him. Aggie noticed a sausage on her hair that was dropped by Max, and took a bite from it, while Grinch groaned at his dog, "Bad dog!"

The Grinch, Max and Aggie made it back in the cave as Grinch threw the drone aside.

"Fred, we're home!" He called as he and his two companions went to the kitchen and noticed something confusing. "What are you doing?" He asked.

Fred and his mate, which the Grinch named her Felicia, let their child eat whip cream as it came out from his nose, and sucked it up back in, just like his father did. Both Grinch and Aggie looked disgust by this.

"Okay," Grinch decided to ignore that as he lead his friends to the planning room. "Come on. I have something to discuss with you." He showed a bouquet of flowers and empty box of chocolates on the table. "Listen, this is a very important thing to me that my first date should be perfect, and I need you to cooperate with me. Aggie, I will give you the most important assignment of all!"

"Really?! What is it?!" Aggie excitingly squealed.

"You're going to buy the stuff I listed for me," Grinch replied.

Aggie enthusiasm faded as she glared at her green friend, "So, you mean, you just sent Max to check on the prizes of the flowers and chocolates, and you want me to buy them for you?!"

"Aggie, please, I need to be ready. I'm still a little nervous. I just need to calm myself here in my cave. You have to buy the gifts for me. I'll give you money for that," he reached for his wallet, and handed the money to Aggie's hand.

Aggie hated to be treated like a slave or commanded, but she knew this is new to the Grinch, and he was unprepared. And that's why she's here: to help him. She then sighed as she grasped the money, "Alright, I'll do it... for just once, okay?"

"I knew I can count on you, Ags," the Grinch patted her on the shoulder, then turned to his animal friends. "And as for you guys, when Aggie brought back the gifts, you mist never eat them. They are for Donna for my date." He then grabbed a bouquet of different flowers from the table, and showed them to the animals. "I know you reindeers love grass, leaves and flowers, so I think maybe you..."

Before he could say anything else, the reindeer were really tempted to eat the flowers, since it's what reindeer eat. The Grinch backed away with the flowers, "No, no, no! Look at yourselves! Discipline! We must—" But Fred already snatched the flowers from his hand.

Both Grinch and Aggie groaned at this result, "Resist." But then, they noticed Fred was only giving the flowers to his mate.

"Aww, I guess he took it for a right reason," Aggie giggled.

Back in the Lou-Who household, Donna Lou woke up from her nap after another night shift as she yawned so hard and loud. Once she sat up on her bed, she rubbed her eyes, opened them and startled to see you five children, including her own daughter, in front of her.

"What are you kids doing here?" She asked.

"Sorry we scared you, Mom, we're just here to help ready for your date with Mr. Grinch tonight," Cindy Lou explained.

"Thanks, sweetie. You don't have to do that. I can take care of myself," Donna hesitated.

"We don't mind, Mom. We really want to help you. In fact, we already chose you a dress."

Cindy and her friends showed Donna a purple glittery dress that they picked from the closet.

Donna gasped as she remembered that dress, "Oh, Cindy, this is a dress I used to wear when I dated your father!"

"And now, you're going to wear this for your date with Mr. Grinch!" Cindy exclaimed happily. "Isn't this coincidence?"

"And then, Ms. Who, we're going to help for your finishing touch later..." Ozzy took out a kit from his bag. "Make-up! My mom let me borrow this." Then, he secretly whispered to Axl, "I actually stole it."

"Alright, guys, let's get to work," Cindy instructed as she and her friends guided Donna to her bathroom.

"This isn't really necessary, kids," stammered Donna.

"Don't worry, Ms. Who, we know what to do," Izzy said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Aggie rushed to town to buy the things on the list the Grinch gave to her. She bought the bouquet of flowers that Donna like, and a heart box of different kinds of chocolates. Even is she already bought everything on the list, Aggie has more things to buy for this date as she made a sinister smirk.

With extra money she saved, Aggie went to the shopping mall to buy the things that Grinch really needed for his date, even if it was unnecessary for him. While she started shopping, she could here the song, "1999" by Charli XCX and Troye Sivan as she started dancing. Aggie went to the men's aisle to buy a tuxedo. She knew the Grinch's size, even if he never wore a shirt, she just knew by observing, thanks to her detective skills before she retired. She then bought men's perfume, hair gel, clean hair comb, breath spray, and men's soap and shampoo, just in case. She also bought hair dye just for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After shopping, Aggie rushed out of town to get to Mt. Crumpit. It's been a long shopping. She may have been spending almost 2 or 3 hours of shopping to buy these stuff. When she was about to pass Bricklebaum's house, she noticed something buried under the snow. When she was about to reach for it, it suddenly exploded with sparks. It's actually a fire cracker. The winged human was startled in fear and back away, trying to avoid the fire cracker, while her stuff were scattered on the ground.

Bricklebaum heard his fire cracker popping, but also noticed Aggie backing away from it. "Oh my goodness, Ms. Aggie, I'm coming." He rushed out of his house to put the fire cracker off, and helped Aggie to get up, "Here, let me help you up."

"Thanks, Mr. Bricklebaum, I really needed that," Aggie rubbed the snow off her arm.

While helping the girl up, Bricklebaum noticed something under his foot as he picked up and read it, "Hair dye. Gorgeous black dye."

Aggie panicked when the Grinch's neighbor noticed her secret stuff as she snatched it away from him, "How did that get in there?" She blushed.

"Hey, I'm sorry about made you un-comfy. We all have to keep the grey away. I, myself, use chocolate explosion," Bricklebaum explained.

"Actually, I already got white hair when I was a kid," Aggie corrected as she picked up the stuffs that were dropped fro the bags, and put them back in.

"What's with all these stuffs?" the happy Who asked.

"Oh, Grinch told me to buy flowers and chocolates, but I also bought other things, like a suit, men's perfume, and things that a man needs for his date."

"Should I come along? I'm his best friend after all."

"Uh, sure, whatever you say."

"Great! Now let me carry these bags for you."

When Bricklebaum took the bag for her, Aggie shrugged as they walked on the land way up to the Grinch's cave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Grinch was playing with Fred Jr. by throwing a ball while the baby reindeer chased after it. Just then, someone's knocking on his door. He thought it was Aggie.

"Finally! She's here!" He's been waiting for Aggie for hours and he was almost starting to worry. But when he answered the door, he found not just Aggie, but also his happiest neighbor. "Aah! Bricklebaum! What are you doing here?!"

"Aggie told me you're getting ready for your date, and I'm here to help," Bricklebaum replied.

The Grinch then glared at the winged human, "Aggie, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, except buying the gifts you needed, and other things," Aggie said.

"What other things?" asked the Grinch.

"A tuxedo for your date, men's stuff, and my hair dye."

"Where did you get the money to buy those stuff? Wait a minute. YOU USED MY MONEY?!"

"Pretty much."

"Why did you do that?!"

"You need that. I knew you will. Now, enough complaining. We have work to do."

"This is not really necessary!"

"Of course it is, Grinchy, now get back inside. We'll fix you up," Bricklebaum said as he and Aggie pushed Grinch back in the cave.

"I'm not finish with you two! " He yelled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the helping began in the Grinch's cave and the Lou-Who house, the song, "Girl in the Mirror" by Sophia Grace, played in the background

The Grinch hesitated of everything what Aggie and Bricklebaum told him to do. Sure, as a girl Aggie wasn't allowed to be in his bathroom, so Max help Grinch out, even if he hesitated to use man soap and shampoo. After drying himself, Brickebaum, Max and the reindeer family combed the Grinch's fur, while used a scissor to cut long tips for him to be neat and tidy. The Grinch almost hesitated to use hair gel, but when he tried to use it himself, it's not actually half bad. Now, the last thing he has to do is to wear a tux that Aggie bought for him. He pushed Aggie, Max, Bricklebaum and the reindeer out of his room so he could wear the tux alone. While waiting, Max has to keep Fred, Felicia and Fred Jr. from eating the flowers and chocolates.

It didn't last long though that the Grinch walked downstairs with his suit, and met up with his friends who were waiting for him, "Okay, guys, what do you think?"

When the looked at him, Aggie spat out the juice that she drank from the juice box, and they all stared at him in shock, "Whoa, Grinch, you... you look.."

"Amazing!" Bricklebaum finished.

"Oh, really? I never noticed that myself when I looked at the mirror," Grinch made a pose.

"You look absolutely wonderful!" Aggie commented.

Max also barked in compliment.

"You are ready for your date, Grinchy," Bricklebaum exclaimed supportively. "Now I have to go home to take out the fireworks from my closet this New Year. Good luck."

"Thank you for your help, Bricklebaum," Grinch thanked.

"Anytime, buddy," He said before closing the door.

When Bricklebaum left, Aggie then turned to the Grinch, "So, do you want me to accompany you to Donna's house?"

"No thanks, Aggie," the green Who held his hand up. "I have a better idea."

Meanwhile, in the Lou-Who house, the kids helped Donna for her date. Only Cindy Lou and Izzy are in Donna's bathroom to choose good women's soap and shampoo for her. After drying herself, the girls helped the mother wearing the old dress Donna used to wear, and it still fits. When dress up is done, the boys are allowed to go inside now, and helped Donna put some make up. Since they have their mothers and their fathers taught them how to help their respective mothers how to put make up on them, the boys know what to do, but they still have Cindy and Izzy to help, since they're both girls. Donna was quite delightful and comfortable of having the kids do the make up on her. She really appreciated it. Later, Groopert brushed Donna's hair, Cindy put a green headband on her, Izzy chose the earrings, and Ozzy chose shoes for her; pink high-heeled shoes, much to Cindy's surprise.

It quite took hours, but it's already done. The kids went down stairs to watch Donna descended slowly down the stairs.

"Wow, she's beautiful," Izzy complimented.

"I think I'm in love with your mom right now," Groopert whispered to Cindy Lou.

Cindy exclaimed in disgust, "Eww! Groopert!" When her mom made it down the stairs, Cindy turned back to her mother, "Wow, Mom, you look beautiful!"

Donna chuckled, "Thank you, Cindy. I want to think all of you for this. I don't know you can do this for me."

"That's fine, Ms. Who, we're doing this for our friend. It's very important for Cindy Lou," Axl replied.

Cindy blushed as she looked at the clock, "Well, we have 30 minutes to spare. Perfect timing!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, I reused the "Go time", temptation/"we must resist", and flying Max scenes again. I don't know the currency of Whoville so I put dollars instead. If you know the currency of Whoville, please help me. Plus, this is also a musical chapter, but no one sings except background songs

The Grinch 2: Happy New Year Chapter 14-Lists and steps of a perfect date

Back in the cave, the Grinch walked in first, and sighed dreamingly as Aggie followed him while carrying Max. Cindy Lou and Bricklebaum were waiting for them after washing all of the dishes.

"So, how's it go?" Bricklebaum asked, but the Grinch was too distracted to answer and still in a dream world.

Noticing this, Aggie volunteered to do the talking for him, "It was unbelievable. He totally asked Donna out, and she said, 'yes'."

"Yes! I knew it!" Cindy Lou exclaimed.

"I know you can do it," Bricklebaum patted Grinch's back, making the latter snapped back to reality. "Well, I better go now. I have to go shopping for New Year this weekend."

"Um, sure. And thank you for help, Bricklebaum," the Grinch watched his friend open the door.

"Hey, no problem. If you need help, like anything else, just tell me," He said before going out and closed the door.

The Grinch then turned to the two girls, "I'll be in the library, girls. If you need anything, just call me."

"Sure thing, Mr. Grinch," Cindy said as she, Aggie and Max watched him using a chair to descend him to the library. Then, she turned to Aggie, "Is it really true? Mr. Grinch asked my mom on a date, and she said yes?"

"Cindy Lou, I don't lie. What I said is all true," Aggie replied.

"That's awesome! I already told my friends to make plans this morning, and I want you to join us."

"You want me to join you and your friends, even that you're all kids and I'm an adult?"

"I volunteered to help you, and I can't do this without you."

Aggie smiled warmly, "Alright, I will."

"Really?" Cindy beamed.

"Yep. I really want to hear the plans and opinions from you, kids."

"Thanks, Aggie. There was a tree house out of town near the woods. That's where we had secret meetings."

"Sure, I'll be there. I better take care of something before meeting you kids there."

"Okay. I better go home. Mom would be so worried."

"Just let me open the door for you," Aggie opened the door to guide her out.

"Thanks. I'll see you later," Cindy said as she slid down the mountain with her sled and hockey stick.

After closing the door, Aggie flew straight to the library, seeing the Grinch read a book.

"Hey, watcha readin'?" She asked.

"Oh, just some fairy tale stories," He replied. "Seriously, how strong love? Is?"

Before the Grinch can proceed reading, Aggie slammed the book close. "Forget that book!"

"Wait? What do you mean?!" He inquired.

"You need to read something to prepare for your date."

"Like what?"

Aggie thought about it as she flew around the library to find a book for the Grinch.

"Ha! You can find the book you were looking for in this library, but it'll take days, weeks, months or years to fi d it since this is a big library, and you don't know much of my books here," Before Grinch can relax while waiting for Aggie to find a book, she finally found the book and slammed it on the table in front of him. "Wow, that was fast." He deadpanned.

"Look, I'm going out today, and, while I'm gone, you have to read this book. This will help you on your date with Donna Lou tomorrow," Aggie instructed.

Grinch looked at the book that was entitled 'How to impress your date', "Are you really serious right now?!"

"Yes, I'm serious! Serious for completing this mission!" shouted Aggie. "So, you better not mess your first date, or you'll totally blow it!"

"Alright, alright! I'll read it. Where are you going anyway?"

"It's a secret."

"Fine, whatever, but don't abandon me here."

"You know I don't abandon friends. Well, good luck reading that book. I'm going out."

"See you later, Aggie."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she only brought her wand staff, Aggie flew out of the cave and above the forest. Since the Grinch lived in the cave of Mt. Crumpit, the forest was so far. She searched for the tree house that Cindy Lou was talking about as she passed above the waterfall, and found it.

Aggie landed under the tree house, not wanting to intrude the kids. So, she threw a pebble through an open window.

Meanwhile, Cindy Lou was inside with her friends.

"Before we began, we have to wait for a very special visitor." With that cue, she noticed pebble flying from the window.

"What was that?" asked Izzy.

Cindy Lou rushed to the window, and found Aggie under the tree, "Com on in, Aggie."

Aggie flew up, and take the window instead of the door. She found four children sitting on the floor, staring at her and quite frightened.

"It's okay, kids, I won't hurt you," She said.

"It's okay, guys. She's with me," Cindy Lou calmed her friends. "Everyone, this is Agatha Galido. She's a dimension traveler, and came from another world."

"Wow, you came from another world?!" exclaimed Ozzy. "That's sick!"

"Is your world magical?" Izzy questioned.

"No, my home world is not magical, but it's true that I came from another, and I'm here to help Mr. Grinch," said Aggie.

"Why do you want to help him?" asked Axl.

"It's quite personal and top secret."

"Wow, you really sound like Cindy Lou."

"Okay, that's enough, Axl," Cindy commanded. "Ms. Aggie is here to help getting Mr. Grinch and my mom together."

"To do that, they should go on a perfect together. It's tomorrow night, and Cindy Lou and I really need your opinions of what we should put together on this date," Aggie added.

"Well, what are the stuff that should be there on a date?" Izzy asked.

"Well, since I've dated before, the best things on a perfect date are food, place where they can be alone, and romantic music. And since Mr. Grinch was the one to take Ms. Who out, he should have gifts for her before going on a date." The winged human said.

"And when I listed these good stuff here, we have to find something that is so perfect for this date, like finding a place where they can be alone, food and music, and all of them should be romantic," Cindy wrote them on her notepad.

"Then, if we should do that, we have to go outside and find these things," suggested Groopert.

"Good one, Groopert!" nodded Cindy. "Let's do this!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As an adult, it's Aggie's job to watch over the children while finding what they need to make a perfect date. She carried all five children out of the tree house, and flew out of the forest, making the children laugh and cheer.

The first thing they need to find is a place where two lovers can be alone, and no Who or animal can disturb them.

Not far from town or from Mt. Crumpit, the kids and Aggie found a good spot. It's just near the frozen lake, and no animal or Whos have gone here. But then, they saw a little goat standing near the frozen lake.

"Oh, hi there, little goat," Aggie approached the goat as the kids followed her. "Sorry, but this place is reserve for—"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The goat screamed at her and the kids' faces.

The kids hid behind Aggie as they are afraid of the goat, and Aggie pointed her wand staff at it.

"What the— What was that?! Shoo, goat, scram!" She commanded.

The goat then obeyed as it skipped away from Aggie, the kids and the place.

"That's a strange goat," said Izzy.

When the goat is gone, the kids looked around, and scanned the place. It's like perfect place to date.

"It think this place is perfect!" Cindy Lou said.

"Yeah, and this frozen lake is perfect spot for dancing," added Axl.

Cindy Lou checked the place on her notepad.

The next is food. They went to the grocery to find some food for a perfect day. Each of Cindy Lou's gang had chosen some, like crackers, waffles, cheese-wheel, sausages, marshmallows, tuna, chicken, mixed vegetables, etc., but all of those things were denied by Aggie and Cindy Lou.

Through the window of the store, they saw two lovers ate spaghetti with meatballs together with a candle-light on the middle of the table. Aggie and the kids nodded and smirked at each other as they all agreed spaghetti and meatballs, and Cindy Lou checked that on her list.

Lastly, it's music time. They have to decide the music in Cindy Lou's house while her mother took care of the twins in their bedroom. At the living room, Aggie and the kids listened to some romantic songs with headphones. They all listened to the same music at the same time.

After denying so many romantic songs, Aggie found one of the good ones, and, while listening, they all agreed that it's the right song. Cindy Lou checked the last item on the list.

After they're done, Aggie walked out the door, and looked back at the kids, "Thanks for helping, you guys."

"No, we like to thank you for this. We can't this ourselves, Aggie. We're just kids," Cindy Lou said.

Aggie nodded, "I know. Kids can't make adults love each other this easy, but things can change."

"I like her already," Ozzy whispered to Axl.

"So, what are you going to do for the rest of the day." Axl asked.

"I'm going back to Mt. Crumpit to help Mr. Grinch prepare for his date tomorrow," Aggie then turned to Cindy. "Cindy Lou, you're in-charge of getting your mom prepared for her date. You're going to ask her what she likes for a gift, like flowers, and help her what clothes she wear."

"I'm on it, Aggie!" Cindy Lou saluted. "Thanks for everything today."

"You're welcome. I better go now. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

The kids watched Aggie flying away out of town.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Aggie made it the Grinch's cave and before entering, she was encountered by Fred the reindeer and his family.

"Hi there, Fred," she greeted. "What are you doing here?"

Fred made a sound and nudged his head on the door.

"You want to come inside?" Aggie guessed. "Sorry, but I don't think Mr. Grinch wants to be disturb today. I'll tell him." But then, the big reindeer made puppy eyes on her. Aggie tried to ignore that, but his mate and child made the same eyes too. Aggie groaned, "Did Max teach you those puppy eyes, and you shared it to your family?" The family of reindeer nodded. Aggie felt pity for them as she sighed in defeat, "Fine. Get in."

The reindeer rushed inside as Aggie followed and closed the door. She flew down to the library to check on her friend, who was still reading while playing chess with Max.

"Hey, how's the reading going?" She asked.

"Quite fine, except it's says here I have to give Donna a gift again," When the Grinch stood up from his chair to go to his workshop again to build another gift for Donna Lou, Aggie halted him.

"Whoa there, Grinch. This isn't the gift I told you yesterday, just a simple gift," Aggie explained. "Like flowers and chocolates."

"Oh," The Grinch never thought of that since he's starting to be too generous this time. "That wasn't so hard."

"Well, you have to keep reading that book. I'll be in my room. I have a busy day today," Aggie yawned as she walked towards the door.

When she opened it, the Grinch noticed Fred and his family behind the door, waiting for Aggie. "What is Fred and his wife and kid doing here?" He asked.

"I felt pity, but don't worry. They'll, be in my room so they won't disturb you," Aggie replied as she guide the reindeer to her room. "Come on, guys, follow me."

When Aggie shut the door, the Grinch returned to read the book again. He flipped the next page, and noticed that this page is all about dancing with partner. He'd never dance with someone before. He really need some practice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At her bedroom, Aggie was knitting a baby clothes for her future fourth child, but, suddenly, she heard crashing sound with drumming music from the Grinch's bedroom.

"Hey, what's going on?!

The reindeer family were awake from the sound.

"Turn it down! Turn it down in there!" Aggie shouted punching the wall.

When the sound didn't stop, Aggie got out of the bedroom and marched up the stairs with the reindeer family and Max, who woke from his nap from the kitchen, following her. When they reached his bedroom, they saw the Grinch dancing with a mop and accidentally caused a mess.

"Women likes to dance, guys," Grinch said as he kept dancing.

Aggie grunted as she observed the Grinch's dance moves was so terrible. When he accidentally caused a mess again Aggie raised her hand stop him, grabbed the mop, and snapped it into half.

"Let me show you how it's done!" Aggie snapped her finger as there was spotlight above her, and a cape magically appeared behind her. She started to tap dance with a song, Bamboléo, while the Grinch observed, much to his surprise.

After the dance, Aggie gestured the Grinch to dance like she did, but he does 'The Chicken dance', instead, much to Aggie's disappointment.

Aggie flew back to her room, threw all of her stuff to find something, but then, she flew out of her room with a box to paper footprints with numbers on them. When she flew back to the Grinch's bedroom, she put the paper footprints on the floor in order as steps to dance gracefully and properly.

The Grinch stepped on the paper footprints and followed the order. While following the footprints, Aggie arranged his body in a good posture. One of arms should be extended on the side, another arm bent in front of her chest, and his head up. The Grinch practiced the basic steps in the cave while doing his chores. Later, he did it again, and this time, on the snow. After hours of practice, he danced back to his cave where Aggie is waiting for him if he got the basics correctly.

"Okay Aggie, I got the basics down but if I'm gonna impress Donna, I need to step it up," He said as Aggie pit more footprints on the floor and all over the room.

While dancing, the Grinch imagined himself dancing with Donna Lou, but, in reality, it turns out to be... Max with a wig, making his master snapped back to reality, and the dog and Aggie laughed. It was actually Aggie's idea as a prank for the Grinch. Max even licked his master's face.

"Max! Aggie! Uh thanks for the help," Grinch put his dog down. "I left some cookies in your dishes."

Aggie and Max raced out of the room, creating a breeze they mixed all the paper footprints and scattered all over the floor, but the Grinch followed the steps anyway.

After spending more hours of dancing, Grinch read the next page of the book he read earlier, and saw that a couple dating should kiss. He never kissed someone before since he never met or fell in love with any woman before. He also has to practice that too, but as a secret.

At night, Aggie was so hungry, she can't even sleep. She flew down stairs towards the kitchen. She noticed someone is already in the kitchen, and she knew it was the Grinch, probably making dinner.

"Hey, Grinch, have you seen—" When she reached the kitchen Aggie saw the Grinch kissing a mop as a practice. She stepped away slowly with her disgusted face, and tried to ignore that it didn't happen. She's not in a mood for eating anymore as she flew back to her room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The scene where the Grinch practiced to dance, I got this idea from The Peanuts Movie, with the background song, "Better when I'm dancing". Pls comment
