*PAGE BREAK*
Chapter Two: A day in town
"Merry Christmas!" a group of Whos said to Grinch and Lucy. Lucy rolled her eyes as Grinch replied, "Oh, yeah, Merry Christmas and ho ho ho and...stuff."
Suddenly, there was a loud crash. They turned to see a vehicle fall apart.
"Oh, no. Looks like SOMEBODY vandalized that vehicle." Grinch said innocently.
"Pfft. What a HORRIBLE thing to do!" Lucy said with fake horror. Grinch passed the a saw he was hiding to Lucy.
"Hey, kids, here's a present for ya! Be sure to run real fast with it!" Lucy said sweetly and handed a couple of kids the large saw.
"Move, move, move! Double time, double time!" Grinch called out as the kids took off running. "Let's go."
Grinch grabbed the bottom of the car, while Lucy held onto Grinch's shoulder. THe car dragged them across the snow for a minute before they let go.
"Merry Christmas!"
"Is it?" Lucy asked sarcastically.
"You're making me proud Lu." Grinch said. Lucy smirked in reply.
They continued causing random chaos in Whoville when suddenly:
"LOU! LOU!" the group of teens who Lucy and Max scared showed up, calling to a Who, named Lou.
"What happened to you?" Lou asked in surprise.
"Ghost and Grinch!" was all the boy said. It was enough to make cars stop, and crash. All the Whos stopped in their tracks.
"GHOST AND GRINCH?" they shouted.
"What do you want?" Grinch asked, when Lucy elbowed him. "I mean, GRINCH? Oh no!"
"Oh dear, GHOST?" Lucy cried in false terror, before she leaned towards he Grinch. "Doofus. You nearly gave us away!"
"Did somebody say, Grinch? Or Ghost?" the Mayor came out and asked.
"Mayor MayWho." Lou stammered.
"Ugh, I hate that idiot." Grinch muttered.
The Mayor read a paragraph from the "stupid" Book of Who, which Lucy found dumb.
"Please tell me that your kids werent up on that mountain, provoking the nearest monsters near Whoville, who hate Christmas!?" MayWho said.
"Well, technecally, I'm not a monster, but whatever." Lucy muttered. Grinch snickered at her.
"N-No, no. They were just, probably...playing with matches...defacing public property..." Lou said weekly.
The Mayor sighed in relief. "Well, that's a relief. You hear the man! There is NO Grinch or Ghost situation here!"
"Geez, what a jerk." Lucy muttered. Grinch grunted, took out a straw, and shot a paper wad at the Mayor.
As MayWho winced in pain, Grinch and Lucy snickered.
"What do you say we give these Whos a bit of fustration?" Grinch asked.
Lucy looked up. "What do you have in mind?"
*Later*
"Hehehehe. It's going to take them YEARS to fugure this out!" Grinch laughed.
Lucy smirked. "Who do these go to? I've got several Jury Duties, a black mail, chain letter, and a pink slip."
"Give them to me."
Lucy handed the mail to the Grinch.
"Jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, black mail, pink slip, jury duty, chain letter, and jury duty!" Grinch said as he tossed the mail in random boxes.
Just as Lucy was about to ask the Grinch about the Mayor's mail, the doorknob began to turn.
"QUICK, HIDE!" the Grinch whisper yelled. Lucy dove behind some boxes, while Grinch grabbed Max and climbed to the corner of the room.
"Hello?" a small voice asked. Lucy peeked from behind the boxes to see a cute little girl with blonde hair.
Grinch slipped and dropped his mask in the process.
Idiot! Lucy thought.
The little girl turned and picked up the mask. Shrugging, she turned. Just as she was about to leave, Max gave a little sneeze.
"Cazuntight." Grinch muttered, then realized his mistake.
"Idiot!" Lucy muttered, also realizing her mistake.
The little girl turned, saw the Grinch and screamed.
Grinch, startled also screamed, which startled Lucy, who ALSO screamed.
"AH!"
"AH!"
"AH!"
"AH!"
"AH!"
Grinch jumped from the roof and landed in front of the girl. "Y-your the, the, the-"
"The, the, the, the, THE GRINCH!" Grinch mocked and snapped.
The girl shrieked and turned only to see Lucy, in her white gown and blue cloak.
"The, the, the G-ghost?!" the girl stammered.
"Boo." Lucy said in a lazy tone. IT still startled the girl, who screamed again, stepped back, and fell into the sorting machine.
"Well, that went well." Lucy said.
"LEt's go." Grinch began to turn, when Max bit his bottom.
"Max! Let go of that! That is NOT a chew toy!" Grinch tried to shake Max off, but couldnt.
"Max! Cut it out, you dont know where that's been! Gross, stop it! MAX!" Lucy tried to pull of Max.
The girl let out a loud scream. "HELP! PLEASE, HELP ME!"
The sorting machine made a high pitched noise, which annoyed Lucy and the Grinch even further.
"Danm it, Grinch, just help me pull the kid out!" Lucy snapped. She reached out, took a hold onto the girls ankle and pulled.
"Bleeding hearts of the world, unite!" the Grich said in annoyance.
He reached out, grabbed the girl by the leg and pulled her out. Setting her upside again, he snatched the Who mask from her.
"GIve me that! Dont ya know you shouldnt take things that dont belong to you?!" Grinch snapped.
"Let's just go already." Lucy muttered. As they began to leave, they heard the girl say, "Thanks for saving me!"
THey stopped short. Well, Grinch stopped short, making Lucy run into him. They both turned and faced her.
"You think we...SAVED you?" Lucy asked.
The girl nodded. Grinch sneered. "Wrong-o. We simply noted that you werent properly packaged, my dear!"
Grinch grabbed a bunch of red wrapping paper and began to wrap the girls head.
"Hold still! Lucy, pick out a bow." Grinch said.
Lucy lazily choose a gold colored bow. As she tied it, the grinch held the girl still.
"Can I use your finger for a sencod?" Lucy asked. She tied the bow, and stepped back.
"NOW, we can leave!" Grinch said, then turned and left the room.
"Good luck kid. Come on Max, lets go." Lucy also left, with Max following close behind her.
As they left, Lucy could hear the little girl calling out, "Hello? HELLO?"
As they snuck out of the post office, Lucy could hear Grinch muttering something about going soft.
"Pfft. YOU? Soft? You havent gone soft since you found Max." Lucy said.
Grinch glanced at her. "Dont remind me. My heart grew half a size." he grummbled.
Lucy smirked. "You know you like the warmth."
"Shut up! I did not! Honestly, I dont know WHY I put up with you two in the first place." he snapped.
"You know you love us." Lucy replied, making the Grinch roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Do you think the kid is going to sqeal on us?" Lucy asked.
Grinch shrugged. "Dont know, dont care."
This time Lucy roller HER eyes. "You should. Especailly when if the Who's find out about my "adoption"...they'll say you've gone soft for REAL."
Grinch stopped in his tracks. "Dont even say it. You might jinx it! Although, we SHOULD hide until it gets dark, where nobody can see us well...in case the brat DOES mention us."
"What do you suppose we do? It's 2 HOURS until nightfall." Lucy asked.
"Hmm...wanna laugh?"
"Sure."
"Then let's go make some prank calls."
