At night, the Grinch, Cindy Lou, Max, Aggie and the twins arrived home, just before 9pm. Grinch and Cindy Lou have time to put the boxes of fireworks they bought aside, and hid them in a closet. It was meant to be a surprise for Donna Lou so she won't buy fireworks on her own for New Year's Eve.

While waiting for her, Grinch and Cindy Lou have time to get to know Aggie better.

"So, your wand staff is a penguin with wings like yours, and friendship symbol on its belly," the Grinch stared at Aggie's wand staff's appearance.

"Yeah. I love penguins, and I'm more into friendship than something violent," Aggie said.

"I love penguins, too!" Cindy Lou exclaimed. "They are cute and cuddly!"

While Max played with his new squeaky toy, he wanted to play it with the twins, which they only like patting Max.

"So, Cindy Lou," Aggie started to speak again. "Since you have your mom and brothers, where's your dad?"

Cindy Lou looked up to Aggie with a sad face, and shook his head, replying that his father was not here anymore.

Aggie knew that face when she looked at Cindy as she gasped, "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," Cindy Lou said. "At least I still have my mom, and she still have me and the twins."

"And I'm sure that she's very lucky to have good children, especially you," Aggie poked Cindy Lou on the nose.

The Grinch smiled at this scene, and wondering what would life be if he had a family of his own. Yeas, Max is his family. He's been his loyal dog and companion ever since, but it would be great to have, maybe parents, wife and children, but he's too old for these things. On the bright side, he successfully fit in with the Whos of Whoville.

Suddenly, the knob of the door turned, and Donna Lou entered with supplies and still wearing her uniform.

"Mom, you're home!" Cindy Lou happily rushed towards her mother, and hugged her.

"Cindy Lou! I missed you already!" Donna Lou returned the hug. "So, how's your day?"

"It's great, Mom! Mr. Grinch took us out for a walk, and we met a new friend…" Cindy Lou ran towards Aggie, grabbed her hand, and pulled her with her. "Mom, I look you to meet our new friend, Agatha Galido. She came from another world."

When her daughter mentioned that her new friend came from another world, Donna Lou thought Cindy Lou was joking, but she knew that her daughter never told a joke, not even a lie. She was always serious. It's quite surprising to have someone who came from another world, but it was not so difficult to describe since the visitor has different appearance with wings than the Whos, especially Donna Lou herself.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you, Ms. Agatha," Donna Lou smiled as she extended her arm to Aggie.

"It's nice to meet you, too, Miss… uh, Who," Aggie shook hands with Donna Lou. "And please, call me Aggie."

"Guess my daughter wasn't kidding that you came from another world, Aggie."

"Or dimension. That's what my family, friends and I called it."

"So, what brings you here?"

"You see, Ms. Who, it's quite a long story, but I have to make it shorter. I was sent me by my element shard to solve some kind of friendship problem, and it said that it was here, in your world or in this town," Aggie explained. "But I looked everywhere, and I can't see any friendship problem around. So, I have to tag along with your friend and children here since it's getting late."

"But, you're still going to find a friendship problem tomorrow, right?" Donna Lou asked.

"I have to. Just before New Year, I have to fix a problem," Aggie replied.

"I wish you good luck with that, but right now, do you have a place to stay?"

"No. I just got here."

"Well, you should stay here with us. We have a guest room here for you to sleep in."

"Actually, Ms. Who," the Grinch interrupted. "I'm was going to ask her to stay with me and Max for tonight."

"Really?" Aggie inquired.

"Oh, it's no trouble that she can stay with us, Mr. Grinch," Donna Lou said.

"No, really, I insist. She can stay with us. Besides, I think I'm going to help her finding a friendship problem tomorrow," Grinch insisted.

"You really mean it?" Aggie squeaked.

"Sure. Just for a change," He answered.

"That's so sweet of you, Mr. Grinch," Donna Lou commented. "You're meant to be helpful after all, especially when you watch over the kids for me."

"Yeah, about that…" Grinch rubbed the back of his neck. He felt so guilty that he almost led the twin boys in danger. He thought he's not a good babysitter for them. "I have to tell you something. It's about… the twins."

"What wrong with Buster and Bean?" Donna Lou tilted her head to glance at her sons, who were playing with Max. "They look okay to me."

"Um, well, you see…" the Grinch was about to confess but not until…

"IT'S MY FAULT!" Cindy Lou shouted. She doesn't want the Grinch to be blame that he didn't do it, "Mom, I have something to confess. When we bought him a new alarm clock, I told him we should go to his place while bringing the twins. They almost fell, but Ms. Aggie saved them!"

"That was nothing. Making a giant marshmallow is no big deal," Aggie chuckled.

"But still, don't blame Mr. Grinch for this, Mom, I told him to come to his place with the twins. It's my responsibility. I'm the worst big sister ever! I'm sorry," Cindy Lou started to cry.

Grinch and Aggie felt guilty for Cindy Lou. She's just a six-year-old kid. She doesn't know better.

Instead of scolding her, Donna knelt down to her daughter, and hugged her, "Oh, Sweetie, it's okay. It didn't matter now. The important thing is you're safe." The mother and daughter again. Donna Lou then got up to talk to the Grinch, So, Mr. Grinch, I can't thank you enough to watch over my kids."

"It was nothing, really. And I'm sorry for the trouble," Grinch replied.

"That's okay. I know you've done all you could, and I understand that," Donna Lou said, making the Grinch smile. "So, I'll see you tomorrow again? You could take the kids out while helping Aggie finding a friendship problem."

"I'll be happy too. Oh! I almost forgot," the Grinch took a box, opened it, and took out a bouquet of different flowers. "For you."

Donna Lou gasped in surprise as she carefully took the flowers and sniffed them, "Wow! These are so beautiful! Thank you, Mr. Grinch, but you don't have to do this for me."

"Please, call me Grinch. I really insist. I thought you might need something to cheer you up after your whole day of work, Ms. Who."

"Call me, Donna. Thank you for the flowers."

"I guess it's time for us to go now," the Grinch said before heading towards the door. "Come on, Max. You too, Aggie."

Max bit his squeaky toy and followed his master, leaving Bean and Buster sadly, while Aggie grabbed her wand staff, and caught up with her new friends.


After leaving the Who household, the Grinch, Max and Aggie walked out of the town, and now, under the slope pathway of Mt. Crumpit.

"It'll be long walk to my place, but this is the only way," the Grinch said as he and Max started to walk up.

Aggie thought it was a boring idea to walk so far, so she took out a pouch of pixie dust from her bag, and secretly poured some on Grinch and Max.

"You guys, think happy thoughts," She advised.

"Why?" the Grinch asked.

"Trust me. Just do it!" Aggie yelled.

Without hesitating, while walking, the Grinch thought some happy thoughts, as so was Max. He didn't feel anything yet, until he felt his feet weren't on the snow anymore. He looked down and noticed he was floating off the ground. Max was also floating too, because of the effects of the pixie dust.

"What's happening?!" the Grinch screamed.

"Relax! They're just pixie dusts. They help you fly," Aggie flew beside the two friends.

"How can this help?" He asked.

"So you won't have to walk so far anymore!" She explained. "Come on, follow me." But Aggie noticed the Grinch was having a hard time flying. "Just lift your arms wide, and kick your feet.

Grinch tried to follow Aggie's instruction, and it made him like swimming. Max used his doggie paddle fly. It's like he was swimming on a pond. He missed swimming though since the pond was freezing during winter season.

Just for few seconds, the Grinch, Max and Aggie made in front of the cave as the pixie dust wore off.

The Grinch thought he would be scared that he experienced flying, but, instead, he never felt so alive and happy like this.

"Wow, that was incredible!" He exclaimed.

"I told you flying's not so bad," Aggie winked.

The Grinch laughed, "That was fun! I enjoyed that! Don't you too, Max?"

Max barked and flipped happily.

"There are more flying stuff tomorrow, but right now, we should rest!" Aggie said.

When Grinch unlocked and opened the door for him, Max and Aggie to get in and closed the door behind them, he stretched his body with his bones cracked after a long day of pushing the twins' stroller.

"What a day! It's like I've been pushing that stroller forever," He groaned.

"Let's just rest, so we have enough energy to find a friendship problem tomorrow," Aggie walked around the room. "If you really mean it."

"No, really, I mean it. I'm going to help you. That might be the way to prove myself that I change."

"Change from what?

"You'll find out tomorrow at breakfast. Let's just find you a room."

While Max rushed to the kitchen his doggy bed is, and went to sleep, Grinch and Aggie walked upstairs.

"So, where's the guest room here?" Aggie asked.

"Umm, I don't have a guest room," the Grinch said.

"WHAT?!" Aggie shouted.

"Sorry. I just didn't use for having visitors in my place," Grinch explained.

"No wonder there're so many signs outside, but where am I supposed to sleep?" The young woman required.

"The only sleeping room here is my room. Don't worry about that. I'll give you pillows and blankets if you sleep on the floor. Or maybe a sleeping bag so you won't get cold…"

When they were at the middle of the stairway, the Grinch felt something bright and flashy behind him. He turned and noticed there was a door on the wall of the stairs and beside Aggie, who held her wand staff.

The Grinch knew he didn't have a door on the wall of the stairway before. He knew Aggie was using magic a moment ago when he saw a door. He approached the door, and opened it, seeing a big room with a soft bed, closet, drawer, bright lamp and a chalkboard the other side of the bed.

"You have got to be kidding me," He gritted through his teeth, feeling jealous that Aggie has a clean and better room than he has.

"I can use magic to make my own room, just in case I have to stay here a little longer," Aggie explained. "And it's very rude to we have to share a room. I don't wanna! I'm comfortable of sleeping in my room anyway."

"You and me both, sista," the Grinch nodded. "I hope you're comfortable staying here. It's a cave though."

"Are you kidding? This place is more like a big house or mansion than a cave to me," Aggie replied as she entered her room. "I'll be fine. By the way, I have a question: What was that?"

"What was what?" He asked.

"The flowers."

"What flowers?"

"The ones you gave to Ms. Who."

Grinch just realized what Aggie meant, "Oh! Those flowers! Nothing. I just want to give Donna a present for, you know, a thing what friends do. I just thought that she could need something to get her out of stress."

"Are you sure that's a gift for a friend, or you two have some kind of chemistry?" Aggie smirked.

"What was that mean?"

"It means, you have a crush on her."

"What?! No! I only did that because she's my friend, and that's how I can give her something in return when Cindy Lou invited me to their Christmas dinner yesterday," the green one explained.

"Uh, yeah, I believe you," the winged human said sarcastically.

"Really, it's true. Donna is just a friend!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Goodnight!"

Aggie shut the door in front of the Grinch, leaving him quite annoyed.

"Man, that woman is crazy and annoying!" He grunted.

The Grinch couldn't get use to have Aggie around him. Not because she's from another world, because she's annoying, but she almost reminded him of someone he knew before. He walked up the stars again to reach his bedroom.

Before he got on his bed, Grinch pulled a box under his bed, and dug up into some random things he had from the orphanage. He kept all his personal stuff when he was just a kid. One of the things is very important to him as he took it out: a photo of him and his best friend when they were just kids at the orphanage. His best friend is a who boy who almost looks exactly like Aggie, only not having wings or any magical powers, and having brown hair instead of black. The two are very close friends with each other, like brothers, until the Grinch's friend got adopted and never saw each other again.

"Oh, Whittaker, I missed you, buddy," He said before putting the photo under his pillow and went to sleep.
