(No P.O.V.)
The Whobiliation went well and bad here and there. Grinch and Rose made a great entrance after being visited by Cindy Lou. Rose was exalted to see Cindy, chatting on the way to Grinch who was in the middle of his routine ranting session. Grinch tolerated Cindy's inquisitive attitude to invite him and Rose, and he listened reluctantly because of Rose.
Much to Rose's excitement, Grinch gave in, and the entrance was memorable for Grinch and Martha as they collided into each other. Rose smirked slightly at the sight, winked at Cindy who slightly blushed. Martha was both happy and excited to see Grinch and her daughter.
In secret spots, Grinch and Martha exchanged glances and lingering touches, yet never daring to kiss through they wanted to, and Rose soon had many hugs and kisses with Martha. Grinch started to enjoy the celebrations, sharing the contests with Rose, and much to Grinch and Martha's pride, Rose won the wheat bag race.
Rose also enjoyed being with Cindy, and got to know her grandmothers a bit who had raised Grinch in his childhood. Unfortunately, the Mayor ruined it with his offhand comments, and had the guts to ask Martha to be his girlfriend. Martha was enraged that Augustus went too far at the gift of the razor, but this, the request put it over the line!
Rose had the courage to stand up to the Mayor, "Back off from my dad, and don't bother Martha again!". She ran up next to Grinch, staring up at Augustus who looked upset after the crowd oohed furiously at that. "Why should I do that, little girl?". Rose wrinkled her nose and narrowed her eyes, "It was you! You humiliated my dad, didn't you? Cindy told me that you didn't like my dad because Martha liked him far better than you!".
Augustus growled lightly, "Shut up, brat.". Rose shook her head, "No! I won't! You bullied my dad, calling him bad words!". Augustus spat as he moved a hand forward, "That's enough out of you!". Rose flinched, moving backwards with Martha clenching into Augustus's hand as she moved around, "Don't you dare touch her, or I will allow Grinch to punch you for good!".
Grinch growled in agreement, his eyes flaring angrily as his hands clenched into Rose's shoulders protectively. Augustus was confused more than outraged, "Martha, what are you doing? Why are you defending...them?".
Martha took a deep breath, remembered her vow, and said proudly, "I love the Grinch and Rose, and they're my family!". Augustus and the crowd gasped apart from Grinch, Rose, and Cindy who only gaped in shock or amazement. Grinch's small heart swelled as Rose smiled so widely that her cheeks hurt. Martha glared at Augustus, "So, don't bully or insult my family ever again!".
Grinch grinned wickedly, proud of his longtime crush, no, love. He purred softly as he pulled some mistletoe from the stand, and grabbed Martha around the waist, "I've waited a long time for this!". He dipped Martha down low to the ground, kissing her as Rose laughed, cheering in happiness. Grinch and Martha regained their balance, and Grinch cackled, "Sorry, love, but gotta go!", knowing that he humiliated Augustus in public with this action.
He ran, jumping into the crowd, scaring them as he caused chaos, and Rose whispered to Martha, "Proud of you, mama.", before she joined her father as Martha gazed at them, being short of breath from Grinch's incredible kiss. The Christmas Tree was alight on fire, scaring the people out of fear and shock.
Eventually, after the chaos were done with, Grinch and Rose returned home, with a mostly frustrated Grinch to rant again about the noise after he and Rose saw the extra Christmas Tree. Rose helped her father with the plan, through she was not excited about it, she still watched her father and Max go off to Whoville in a insane yet incredible sleigh.
She went to sleep, wondering if she'd convince her dad to let go of the issue with Christmas as Martha let the cat out of the bag about them, through she didn't blame her mom for it. She thought about Cindy and her family, realizing the very thing that makes Christmas special long before her father did tonight.
