Me: Hey, guys. Here's a new story for the holidays. It's a crossover for Splatoon and my favorite adaptation for Dr. Suess' books, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The one with Jim Carrey as the Grinch.

Zach: I loved that movie. Jim was funny.

Lula: Yeah, he made many funny voices for the Grinch's personality.

Me: Yep, that why I made this. And a lot of inklings will be video game characters so some inklings will be in colors not in Splatoon or Splatoon 2 such as red or grey or white. So it starts now.

Everyone in Inkopolis loved Squidmas. The one who loved it much more was Cap'n Cuttlefish and his two granddaughters, Callie and Marie, who just became famous pop stars after winning a folk singing contest. The two cousins loved Squidmas, but they noticed that everyone was acting more cheerful than last year.
"Gramps, isn't this a bit much?" Callie asked in her cute young girl voice.
"This is what Squidmas is all about," Cap'n Cuttlefish said. But up on the mountain outside of Inkopolis Square, four inklings were climbing up for a dare to meet the evil Octo Granch, who hates Squidmas more than anything. Two of the inklings were boys, one had blue as his default color and the other's was purple. Next to them were two girls, one grey and one black. It was the most ranked inklings in Inkopolis, Sonic and Spyro, and their two girlfriends, Elise and Cynder. Cynder was the only one hesitant to go.
"Guys, where are we? I think we should go back," Cynder said, looking back.
"What? You're scared of the Octo Grinch," Spyro said, teasingly.
"They say he never comes out of his lair," Sonic said, getting close to the girls. "He only comes down when he's hungry taste of...INKLING FLESH!"
"Oh, Sonic," Elise said, playfully slapping Sonic's arm. So the inklings continued up the mountain as the boys chanted "You're scared of the Octo Grinch". But when the two got to the door of the Octo Grinch's lair, even the boys were shaking in their boots. Then before the boys reached the door, a big, scary face popped out, scaring the four inklings and making them run back to town. But behind the face was the Octo Grinch's cat, Lil' Judd.
"Well done, Lil' Judd," a voice said. "Those inklings are getting on my last nerve. I really don't like them. Mm-mm! No I don't. Lil' Judd! Get my cloak. I am much too tolerant to be seen. Those inklings want to get through to me, do they? They want to spend quality time with the Octo Grinch. I guess I could use a little...social interaction." The Octo Grinch was like a real octoling, but he also had features like an inkling, including the eyes. But his hair looked different than any octoling's hair, it was pointing upwards and had red under the tentacles and he didn't wear the octoling's goggles or the shades the octolings also wear with a red dot on one eye, he preferred to keep his eyes bare as possible. The Octo Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season. Now please, don't ask why, nobody knows the reason. Maybe his shoes were too tight, or maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right. But the likely reason of all was then that his three hearts were two sizes too small. The inklings were all shopping for their friends and family and sending them at the post office. Meanwhile, with Cap'n Cuttlefish, Callie and Marie were finishing their shopping when Sonic and Spyro, covered in snow, called Cuttlefish.
"What happened to you?" the captain replied.
"It was...the Octo Grinch!" Sonic yelled, stopping everyone in their tracks and catching the attention of the mayor, an inkling with dreadlock tentacles named Knuckles.
"Did somebody just say 'Octo Grinch'?" Knuckles asked.
"Hello, Knuckles," Cuttlefish said. Knuckles told Cuttlefish not to mention the Octo Grinch, especially in front of his granddaughters. Sonic and Spyro tried to tell Knuckles about what happened but Cuttlefish said maybe they were seeing things. After hearing this from Knuckles, the inklings continued on with their business. When Cuttlefish took Callie and Marie to the post office, the two cousins asked Cuttlefish a question.
"But, gramps, why won't anyone say anything about the Octo Grinch?" Marie asked in her calm but also young girl voice voice.
"Well, the Octo Grinch is someone you shouldn't know about, he doesn't like Squidmas," Cuttlefish said. "No has ever sent him a letter. Ever."
"But why?" Callie asked, confused. But then someone said things were getting mixed up in the back room, so Cuttlefish agreed to help with that. In the back room, the Octo Grinch was mixing up the letters in the letter cubbies. Callie and Marie went into the back room to put away some letters so the Octo Grinch hid on the wall. But Lil' Judd sneezed, getting Callie and Marie's attention, making them scream.
"You're the...the...the...the..." Marie stuttered.
"THE OCTO GRINCH!" the Octo Grinch yelled, making Callie and Marie stumble backwards into the sorting machine which got presents to the shipping room. Lil' Judd scratched the Octo Grinch's leg until he finally saved the two pop stars. But then he wrapped the girls in wrapping paper. When Cuttlefish saw the two, he was amazed because he thought the two practiced wrapping presents by wrapping themselves as a joke. Callie and Marie were confused, but they went with it.
