n the afternoon, the Grinch and Cindy Lou successfully bought a box of fireworks from the store. They bought Fountain and Peony fireworks. They put the fireworks on a red wagon that Max dragged with behind him.
"Well, we finally bought the fireworks. Now, we have to buy you a new alarm clock," Cindy Lou reminded.
The Grinch chuckled, pulling a list from his pocket, "How could I forget that?" Then, he noticed something from the twins. He reached for the firework before Buster bite it, "No, no, no. Fireworks are not food."
"Wow, you just took care of the twins, you already know how keep them safe," The little girl commented.
"Of course, I do. I don't want kids to get hurt," He answered.
"So…, are you ready to become… a parent?"
"WHAT?! Hey, if this is because your friend told you that I'm gonna your new dad, that's not gonna happen."
"Alright, whatever you say."
Above a big house, a green portal was opened, and Aggie came out of their with her sled. She fell with her sled, and started to slide down every roof of the town.
"Alright, all I have to do now is to know this town before finding a friendship problem..." Aggie said to herself, until a poster hit her face. Aggie pulled the poster from her face, and read it. "Wow! There's my answer. 'Whoville, the most joyful and friendly town in the world'." Now, the girl became curious. "Hmm, if this is a joyful and friendly town, why the element sent me here?" She then reached for her interdimensional remote control from her bag. "Guess I'm in the wrong world or wrong place…"
But then, her slide became bouncy as she slid from roof to roof, then slid through a window of a house, where she saw two people eating their lunch, "Have a nice lunch!" Aggie said politely. When her sled slid up high on a ramp into the air, she accidentally released the remote from her hand. "OH NO! MY REMOTE!"
When Aggie got separated from her remote, she fell and slid on the streamers, sent into mid-air, and fell again, but this time, she was heading straight towards a green figure, "Watch out below!"
Aggie bumped into the Grinch, knocking him down with her sled, and she was on the other side. The twins just laughed and squealed at the Grinch, while Cindy Lou rushed to help him up.
"Mr. Grinch! Are you okay?" She grabbed his arm to help him up.
Aggie, on the other, was desperate that she lost one of her important things, "No! My remote!"
The Grinch got up from the snow, and grunted, "Why is this always happened to me?" Then, he turned to Aggie angrily, "What is wrong with you? Didn't you see me? That was a sled, and… well, I'll be dead, and you almost hurt the children!"
"I'm sorry for bumping into you, mister, really, but this is really important. Have you seen my remote?" Aggie asked.
"Remote? What remote? If you're looking for a remote for are television or any gadgets, there are some at the Remote store," the Grinch threw the sled on the snow beside Aggie.
"No, you don't understand. This isn't just a remote, this is the remote. The one that I owned," the young woman explained.
"What does it look like, miss?" Cindy Lou asked.
"Well, it's olive green with two buttons, a light blue screen and an antenna, which is used to open a portal through different dimensions."
"Well, I never seen or heard that remote in my life, so my friends and I better go and we'll get out of your hair," the Grinch said as he pushed the baby stroller.
When he stepped into something under the snow, a green energy ray just blasted from it, creating a green portal in front of them. The Grinch and Max were frightened as they took a step back with the stroller where the twins are, and Cindy Lou grabbed tightly around the Grinch.
Aggie recognized that portal as she rushed towards it, "Oh, there it is!" She snatched something under the snow, the remote, and switched it off, closing the portal. "There! That oughta do it!"
The Grinch's fear faded as he stared at the woman with wings, "What was that?"
"That's just a portal. It's like a door to a different dimension," Aggie replied.
"And that you're holding?"
"This is an interdimensional remote control. This device can open portals to any world you want to go in the universe."
The Grinch just froze right there. When he saw that portal, it brought back the memories that he had long forgotten. He never saw that portal for 53 years. Then, when he looked back at the woman, he thought that he knew her before, and he knew that enthusiastic face years ago.
"You look familiar," He almost can't put his finger on. "Have we met before?"
Aggie was quite confuse. For her, she never met this green fellow before, "Huh?"
The Grinch shook his head, "No. Nevermind. You're a girl. You can't be him."
"'Him' who?" Aggie inquired.
"No one. It's not important." The Grinch then noticed the wings that he can't ignore it. "What's with the wings? It's not Halloween, you know."
"Oh, this isn't a costume, mister, I was born with these," Aggie said.
Then, Cindy Lou gasped and impressed, "This means, you're a fairy?"
"Not exactly, little lady. You see, both of my parents or even my families aren't fairies, but I got these when a fairy life was sent to me, and I was born with these."
"Wow! You have wings since birth? Cool. I wish I have a pair of those."
However, the Grinch thought the woman is crazy and what she said is ridiculous, "Ugh. Yes, it's cool, but I still think those wings are fake. But, just to ask, why are you here and what is your purpose?"
Aggie giggled nervously, "Umm, it's a long story and complicated…"
"We've got time."
She started to clear throat to explain a full story, "Okay, well, I'm the leader of the heroic team of the universe. We are called the Imaginary team. We lived in different worlds, and we stayed friends. Our job is to fight crime, and spread love and friendship in the universe by travelling from one world to another. It's like Dimension travel. Now, I came here because I have a mission…"
"What kind of mission?" Cindy Lou inquired.
"A mission that I have to fix. According to my element, right here…," Aggie pointed her element shard on her ID necklace, "When it's blinking, which it was earlier before I got here, that means there's a friendship problem, and it's my duty to solve it."
"So, let me get this straight: you're a young woman with "wings", came from another world because you have some sort of mission." Grinch summarized Aggie's explanation.
Aggie nodded, "Yeah, that's sort of it. A mission about a friendship problem that I have to fix."
"Okay. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life." Then, the Grinch turned to Cindy Lou, "Come on, kid. Let's go before anything crazy might happen."
When the Grinch left with the baby stroller, Cindy Lou started to follow him, not before saying to Aggie, "I hope you'll find what you're looking for around here, miss."
"I hope so, too," Aggie sighed. "I'll see you around, little girl."
"Good-bye," Cindy Lou waved at her.
Then, Max looked back at Aggie before following his master.
"Bye, little doggy," she waved at the dog. When she picked up her sled, it turned back into a wand staff, and put the remote back in her bag. "Well, I sure hope I can find a friendship problem in this town." Aggie walked away to find a problem she has to solve.
At the clock store, the Grinch, Cindy Lou and Max entered with the twins while talking about Aggie.
"Do you think that woman is lying, don't you?" Cindy Lou asked.
"I never said she was lying," the Grinch replied. "I just don't believe on this 'Dimension travel' and 'many worlds' and stuff."
"Well, I believe that."
"What makes you say that? Have you been travelling to another world or something before?"
"No, but in my Science class, my teacher said that there are more than one world out there. Our world isn't the only one in the whole universe. And besides, that lady doesn't look like a Who. I mean, I never seen her before. It's like she's not from here at all."
"Well, she's only here to solve a friendship problem out there that we didn't even know."
"Okay. So, we have lots of clocks here. Which one do you like?"
When Cindy Lou reminded him about a new alarm clock, the Grinch search for it in ever aisle. Then, he spotted an alarm clock that looks just like his old one. "Hmm… what about this one?" When he took a look at the clock, he played the clock's alarm sounds randomly. Some are happy songs, some are also Christmas songs. "I think this is perfect."
When the Grinch bought the new alarm clock, he put it on the wagon with the boxes of fireworks, and they all headed outside the shop.
"Well, we finally bought what we needed. Can we go back to your house now?" the Grinch, almost feeling tired.
"No! We must get your new alarm clock back to your cave so it would get broken easily," Cindy Lou suggested.
"Y-You mean, in my place?" the Grinch wasn't so sure to go back to his cave with children. His place was quite cold at the afternoon and almost sunset. The kids might be freezing later. "I don't know. What about the babies? They'll get freeze up there, and your mom would very worried about you three."
"Just a short while. Besides, it's 3:30, and the twins can stay warm as long as they wore their winter clothes. We have extra time. And mom wouldn't be home until nine tonight. Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaase. Just today," Cindy Lou begged, making a pouty face.
The Grinch still refused with this idea, but when he saw Cindy Lou's big teary cute puppy eyes, he groaned in defeat and said, "Fine. We'll go to my place."
"YAY!" The little girl cheered.
"But only after I'm going to put my alarm clock in my bedroom. And then, we all can go back to your home, got it?" the green fellow added.
"Okay. That's cool," Cindy Lou nodded.
It's been a long way to walk to Mt. Crumpit as the Grinch, still pushing the baby stroller, Cindy Lou and Max, still dragging the wagon full of boxes of fireworks and an alarm clock, traveled all the way up by just taking a snowy slope path up to the Grinch's cave.
As they travel up the mountain, there was a moderate cold wind blowing at their faces. Feeling concern for the infants, the Grinch checked on Bean and Buster to see if they're still warm, and if their winter clothes are still warming them up. They continued to walk up the mountain, until they reached the Grinch's cave.
When he brought the children and Max inside to keep them warm from the cold breeze, while the Grinch placed his new alarm clock on the drawer in his bedroon, Max and Cindy Lou arranged the fireworks they bought in each boxes so they won't mix up.
Once they're done, they headed outside, and the Grinch locked his door.
"Well, I guess our work here is done," he said, the stretched out his back. "Boy, I've been pushing the baby stroller for a whole day now."
"Is it okay that it's my turn to push the stroller?" Cindy Lou volunteered.
The Grinch chuckled, but didn't want to give the kid a hard time, "Cindy Lou, you're still little to push two babies in a stroller. Are you sure you can do it?"
"Yeah, I can do it," Cindy Lou answered, quite offended. "I've been helping my mother ever since Dad died. I know how to push the stroller, I know how to take care of the twins… They're my brothers, and I love them. I know how to take care of them."
"It's not because I don't trust you. It's because I don't want you to being so hard on yourself."
While his master and his friend are in a conversation, Max just noticed the baby stroller with the twins suddenly started to slide down the snowy slop path. Max barked to warn the Grinch and Cindy Lou about the babies.
"Not now, Max," the Grinch held his hand at his dog.
"Come on, Mr. Grinch. I want to show Mom that I can be a responsible big sister for my brothers. Please!" Cindy Lou made a pouty face again.
The Grinch groaned in frustration as he was defeated again by the little girl's sad face, "Alright, alright! Just don't make that face again!"
"Deal!" Cindy Lou gave him a thumb-up.
But when the two turned around, they realized the baby stroller is gone.
"Umm, where's the stroller?" the Grinch inquired.
Max then barked in respond as he pointed the stroller rolling down slide.
"Oh no! Bean! Buster!" Cindy Lou cried as she ran down the pathway.
The Grinch and Max followed as they ran as fast as they can, hoping to reach for the baby stroller.
"Oh dear. Your mother is gonna hate me for this!" The Grinch shouted in panic.
While the stroller kept on running, the twins were enjoying the ride, and squealed in excitement.
The Grinch, Cindy Lou and Max were just halfway, but they got tired from running and panted heavily.
"Oh, they're now far. We'll never catch them in time," Cindy Lou was devastated in fear for her brothers.
Just then, they heard a reindeer sound from behind them. The three turned around and saw Fred the reindeer with his mate child, happy to see his master again.
"Fred?" the Grinch gasped in disbelief. Sure, the reindeer and his family came to help him yesterday on Christmas, but he didn't expect that the reindeer came to visit him surprisingly.
"Aawwww, you have reindeer?" Cindy Lou rushed towards the reindeer family, and patted the baby reindeer's head.
The Grinch slowly walked towards Fred, and rubbed his muzzle, "You still came back for me." The reindeer then nuzzled closer to his master, "I missed you too, boy," Grinch returned the affection.
Just then, Cindy Lou just realized something as she turned to the Grinch, "I have an idea."
A moment later, Max and the baby reindeer were running together down the snowy slope, while Cindy Lou, who was having fun, rode on the female reindeer, and the Grinch rode on Fred, but he held on tightly so he won't fall.
"HEEEEEEEEELP!" He screamed.
Meanwhile, Aggie was having a hard time, trying to find a friendship problem in Whoville, but she found nothing. Everyone in this town is cheerful and friendly, and no one seemed to have problems with their friends and family.
She was now at the bottom of Mt. Crumpit, just at the end of the snowy slope "Darn it! It's been hours, and I can't find any friendship problem!" She yelled at herself. "Oh, why did my element send me here?" Unfortunately, she didn't notice that a baby stroller is coming straight for her.
At the slope, the reindeer ran as fast as they can for the Grinch, Cindy Lou and Max to reach for the stroller.
It's impossible to reach the stroller in time. Cindy Lou saw Aggie at the bottom of the slope that she didn't notice the stroller behind her.
"Look out, miss!" she called.
Aggie heard that familiar voice as she turned around and saw a baby stroller with two infants coming towards her. She gasped as she thought of something to stop the stroller and save the babies. When she got an idea, she took out her wand staff, pointed in front of her, and recited the spell, "GIANT MARSHMALLOW PILLOW!"
A gigantic marshmallow appeared between the running stroller and Aggie from the wand staff, and the stroller was stopped when it hit the marshmallow. The twins are safe and squealed happily for that fun ride.
Cindy Lou, Max and the reindeer were impressed and amazed when the woman magically made a giant marshmallow to stop the stroller.
"Wow! Is that a big marshmallow?" Cindy Lou hopped off the female reindeer and rushed for Aggie. "Thank you so much for saving my brothers."
"Aww, it was nothing," Aggie said. "Here, have a marshmallow. It's edible, delicious and non-poisonous."
Cindy Lou and the baby reindeer bit on the marshmallow, Max just licked it, and the twins were gnawing at it since they only have buckteeth. When he hopped off of Fred, the Grinch was so amazed by the young woman's magic and how she ever stopped the stroller and saving the twins on her own with a giant marshmallow. He never saw that kind of magic before. He started to believe that this woman indeed from another dimension or world as he slowly approached her.
"That… that was incredible," He said.
Aggie clutched tightly on her wand staff, "Thanks, but it was no big deal."
"It IS a big deal! I mean, you saved the babies, created a giant marshmallow, and you're able to save yourself," the Grinch responded.
"If the little girl didn't warn me, I could be crashed." The young woman replied.
"How did you make this marshmallow, anyway?" Cindy Lou asked.
"It's one of my spells of my magical family heirloom, the wand staff," Aggie explained. "I can summon anything, as long I recite the spell correctly."
"Who are you, exactly?" the Grinch asked.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot to introduce myself," Aggie blushed embarrassingly. "Hi, I'm Aggie, short for Agatha. My full name is Agatha Besares Mondejar Resano Borra Galido. Still just call me Aggie."
"It's really nice to meet you, Aggie. My name is Grinch," He introduced himself. "This is my dog, Max…"
The dog jumped onto Aggie, and licked her happily.
"Whoa! It's nice to meet you, Max," Aggie laughed.
"And this is my friend, Cindy Lou," the Grinch pointed Cindy Lou, who was checking on her brothers.
"And these are my brothers, Bean and Buster," She added.
"Aww, they're so cute!" Aggie adorned the twins' cuteness. Then, she turned to look at the reindeer family, "What about them?"
"Umm, the big reindeer is Fred, and his family," the Grinch explained.
"Aww, so sweet!" Aggie's eyes started to sparkle, "You know, I have a friend name Fred. He was also from another world, just few friends, and I'm one of them."
"That's a coincidence." Grinch chuckled. "So, you really are from another world."
"My family and friends called me 'Magical girl from another dimension!' Aggie made a rainbow with her wand staff, and several cute creatures appeared around her. The rainbow suddenly bursts into flames, and the cute creatures ran away. "That's my title if I'm in different dimensions other than my own."
"So, is your world magical?" Cindy Lou grinned in excitement.
"Umm, no, you see, my world is just as normal as yours here. I was born with wings, and I have no friends at all, because I'm so different. So, my dad invented the remote I brought earlier so I can make new friends in other worlds and dimensions. When I did, I created the Imaginary team so we can always be friends. Once they trained to be a better person, like flying, martial arts and using of powers, my friends shared half of their powers and magic to me, making me the leader. So, I became the most powerful human in my home world," Aggie explained.
"Humans?" The little girl wasn't familiar with that word.
Aggie looked at her suspiciously, "Isn't that what you guys called yourselves?"
"We are called the Whos."
"Okay? Maybe they're still the same."
"So, this means your weren't born powerful or magical? You were given by your friends from other worlds?" Grinch clarified.
"Yep," Aggie replied.
"So, what brings you here quite late, Ms. Aggie? Did you find what you've been looking for?" Cindy Lou questioned.
Aggie sighed sadly, "No. I've searched everywhere. There's no friendship problem in your town. Everyone has no problem with their friends and family. It's so impossible!"
"Maybe you came into the wrong world," the Grinch said.
"That's what I've been thinking, but my element assured that this is the world with a problem," Aggie answered. "I just can't find it yet."
"Maybe you can find it tomorrow. It's getting late."
"Yeah, you're right. It's almost 6:00, anyway."
Cindy Lou's eyes widened, "6:00? We have to go home before mom gets home. She'll be worried if she finds out we're not home."
"You're right! Come on, let's get back to town," the Grinch pulled the baby stroller from the marshmallow, and slowly pushed it towards the town, while Cindy Lou, Max and Aggie followed.
"Bye Fred," Cindy Lou waved goodbye at the reindeer family before walking away.
When they made it to town, the Grinch just spotted something in the flower shop, and that gave him a generous idea.
"Cindy Lou, watch over your brothers for a moment, Max, keep an eye on the kids, and Aggie… try not to do anything crazy," he said before rushing towards the flower shop.
"He didn't know I'll never do anything crazy," Aggie murmured with her arms crossed.
"Why is he going to the flower shop? Why does he need flowers?" Cindy Lou asked.
"I just met him, so I have no idea." The young woman replied.
A minute later, the Grinch got out of the flower shop with a long box on his hands.
"Okay. Sorry about that, but we're ready to go, and…" Before he could finish his sentence of explanation to Cindy Lou, the Grinch noticed something different about Aggie. "Aggie, are you… floating?"
He noticed that Aggie's feet are no longer on the ground as Cindy Lou and Max turned to see her floating and her wings flapped.
"I'm tired of standing and walking, so I fly a little," Aggie explained.
The Grinch just froze in shock that he saw her fly. He never believed they are real wings at first, but when he saw Aggie flying with his own eyes, he was wrong, "Okay. I guess those wings weren't fake after all."
"Don't worry, I got use to it. New friends said that about me, every time," She said. "Now, are we ready to go or what?"
"I'll push the stroller," Cindy Lou quickly rushed to the stroller, and pushed it carefully, trying not to drop her brothers from it. "Watch out, big sister coming through!"
