The Grinch: The Team
(Disclaimer: This takes place in an alternate universe if Cindy would help the Grinch steal Christmas, not knowing that her family would be sad on Christmas Day. Also, this fanfic is based on the new 2018 Grinch movie since absolutely NO ONE ever bothered to make one fanfic about it.)
Chapter 1: Getting the Team Together
In a town just like your town, if your town was a dream, lived a sad, grumpy Grinch, with a Christmas-stealing scheme! But, in order to steal Christmas, and take it away, he might need a team to help out on that day.
"Ok, Max." The Grinch said to his canine companion. "We're going to need a team to help. And, I know just who to start with."
The Grinch looked around Whoville, and saw Cindy-Lou Who. He walked up to her and said…
"...How do you do?"
"Hello, Mr. Grinch." said Cindy with a bright smile on her face. "What do you need help with?"
"Well, I need to get a team to steal Christmas and, um, maybe you could join?" "Sure!" Cindy said, enthusiastically. "That'll be fun!" Great, thought the Grinch. Now, I'll have to deal with that little girl...but, she's kind of happy...eh, I'll roll with her on my team. Besides, it does make her happy.
"Now, all we need is a reindeer…" The Grinch looked around. But, since reindeers are scarce, there was none to be found.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, RIGHT NOW?!"
So, he got his own reindeer named Fred, and here's what the Grinch said. "Ok, Fred the reindeer, you're gonna pull on my sled."
The Grinch, Max, Cindy and Fred made it all the way up to Mt. Crumpit, where the Grinch would start training the three on stealing Christmas.
"Ok, guys. I have made an arsenal of gadgets for you to steal Christmas decorations with. Cindy, you get the X-mas Sucker!" Cindy pondered the Grinch, "Isn't stealing Christmas wrong?" The Grinch replied, "Yes, but I didn't have a Christmas when I was little and...let's not discuss it right now."
"But, Mr. Grinch," Cindy explained, "Everyone should be happy on Christmas, even you." "Not on my watch." The Grinch replied back, with a devious grin on his face.
"Max, you get this high tech reindeer antler with a grabber. Go ahead, test it out!" Max presses a red button on the antler with his little paw, and a claw came out of it. Max barked in delight.
"And finally, Fred. You get...this bottle of whip cream I found for some reason." Fred opened it up and started drinking it like crazy until some of it went through his reindeer nostrils. "Ok…" The Grinch said awkwardly.
After a long day of mischief and fun, The Grinch said to his crew…
"...I think we're finally done! Tomorrow, we're going to steal Christmas like pros. Good night, guys!" "Good night, Mr. Grinch." Cindy said, as she tucked herself in with the Grinch in his bed and turned off the lamp in the room.
Later that night, Max came into the room, wanting to sleep with The Grinch and Cindy. "Max…" The Grinch said sternly. "You know the rules. You sleep in your bed, and I sleep in mine—" The Grinch saw Fred with puppy eyes, and turned around to see Max also with puppy eyes. "Max, did you teach him puppy eyes?" He wondered out loud. He stared at both of them with their eyes all cute-like, until he couldn't take it anymore. "Fine." He said to the two pets. Max climbed up on the bed, while Fred, on the other hand, rolled his way up and plopped himself smack dab on the Grinch's face.
Tomorrow might be better, The Grinch thought. After all, how would me, a dog, a little girl, and a reindeer possibly steal Christmas anyway?
