After 30 minutes of practicing for a new music video for her team, Aggie went out of her room to do a little stretching and rest her voice. She went downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

She was encountered by Max, who got off of his doggy bed and bounced high up on her chest.

"Hey, Max, I was going to get some water," Aggie said as she opened the refrigerator door, and saw a pitcher of water. "I hope Grinch won't mind that I can get some water." She found a glass, poured some water in it, and drank it to sooth her throat after a long practice for a music video. "I feel great! Hey, where's your master, Max?"

The dog pointed the door with his paw.

"Ugh, what is he doing outside?" grunted Aggie. She got out of the cave, and shut the door behind her, only to found the Grinch sitting at the edge of the land way. "Oh, there he is. I thought he's heading back to town again." Aggie smiled in relief. She walked towards the edge, and sat besides him, "Hey, bud."

The Grinch has his arms crossed while sitting on the edge and stared at the town of Whoville. At least he still has the mood to greet a friend, "Hi, Aggie."

"Whatcha doin' here?" When she asked, Aggie could caught a glance of what the Grinch was staring or watching at. "Wow, you can see the whole town from up here! It's so beautiful! No wonder you like living here!"

"Technically, I lived here in Mt. Crumpit to get away from the Whos," Grinch explained as he hung his head down. "Ever since no one adopted me and got away from the orphanage, I decided to live away from this town and stayed here in my cave. I don't want the town and the Whos to recall my past. That's why I want to be alone, to find some peace."

Aggie nodded slowly and silently, knowing how the Grinch felt, "You know, staying away won't solve your problem."

"I know. I should've done this before. When I admit to the Whos that I stole their Christmas stuff and returned them, I told them how I feel, and how sad I was when I'm alone. I guess confessing your feelings makes you a lot better, huh? I mean, sharing feelings to others can release those negative thoughts and makes you relieve."

"It's so true. When I confessed my sad feelings to my family and friends, I cried so hard that I felt my negative thoughts were flown away with my tears, and I feel so much better."

The Grinch and Aggie kept quiet and staring at the view of the town for a while with a cool breeze blew across their faces.

"So, uh…" the winged human broke the silent. "Is this why you came out here alone? Because if this is about the music I played, I'm sorry about that. I was practicing for a music video. My team and I are going to make a music video this January once I finished this mission."

"No, it's not that, and sorry I didn't have the chance to help you with your mission," the Grinch replied.

"That's okay. I think I already found my mission."

"You do?"

"Yeah, but first, I want to know. Why you're out here anyway?"

The Grinch then raised his head up. His cheeks turned red that if he told her what's going on, she'll proudly said she was right about him liking Donna Lou, "It's nothing, really. It's embarrassing."

"Come on. I know there's a reason why you're here. It's written all over your face. After all, we're friends now. You can tell me," Aggie elbowed his arm, but still, she got no responds. "If you won't tell me, I'll push you off the cliff!"

The Grinch scooted aside in fear, "Alright, alright, I'll talk! Just don't push me, okay? But it's not really a big deal."

"Everything's a big deal, Grinch. Now, tell me. What's troubling ya?"

He sighed in defeat, "You and Bricklebaum are right."

"About what?" Aggie asked.

The Grinch cringed a little, and murmured softly, hating to admit it, "I'm… in… love with…"

But Aggie can't hear him, "A little louder, please."

"I'M IN LOVE WITH DONNA LOU, OKAY?!"

Aggie want to squeal in delight at first, but she was frightened when the Grinch yelled at her.

His new friend backed away a little, quiet frightened when he yelled at her like that. When the Grinch saw how scared Aggie is, he calmed himself down and exhaled, "I'm sorry. I didn't to yell at you."

"That's okay. I know how people feel when they admit something that they denied it," Aggie said. "So…, what makes you say that you're falling in love with her? And when?"

"I think that was after Christmas, before you came here. I-I don't know my feelings for her for a short while. Almost everyone of you said I'm in love with her, but I don't because we're just friends, and I'm only helping her because Cindy-Lou wished her mother to be happy, and she's counting on me to do such a thing. But when I helped Donna since Day 1 and how she appreciated all my help, she seems so nice, kind and… beautiful," The Grinch started to describe Donna in his head. "When I see her for three mornings, she was still beautiful even if she worked hard preparing breakfast for his kids, very strong enough to take her responsibilities on her own, and she trusted me to watch her kids. I mean, no one has ever trust me on things before. It was unexpected. Then, when she almost kissed me yesterday, I suddenly developed that sudden feeling that I never felt before. I can't stop thinking about her or what you said. I think it's all true. "

While listening, Aggie just stared in silent and frozen, quite touch about the Grinch's story of his feelings. She can't even react quickly, "Wow. I can't believe you've told me that. Very interesting."

"It's like I know her before."

"Say what?"

"When I first met her, Donna was so familiar. She looks like that Who girl who intruded outside my cave more than 20 years ago…"

25 years ago

The young Grinch stayed in his cave alone, sitting in front of the fireplace to keep himself warm from the cold blizzard outside.

Just then, someone or something tapped on his door. The Grinch was too lazy to check on the door and he was not in a mood for visitors. He tried to ignore it, but the tapping continued.

"Ugh, who could be here in this snowy blizzard?" He grunted as he got up from his chair, and went downstairs to take the door.

When he answered the door, there was no one outside as the snowy blizzard was getting windy, colder and stronger. Then, he noticed a red balloon above his head.

"What the—? A balloon?"

The Grinch grabbed the string of the balloon, and stared at it, wondering how the balloon flew all the way up here. Just then, he heard a whimpering sound that is not so far from his cave. When he walked a little further from his cave, he found a little Who girl behind one of his signs, shivering in coldness while hugging herself, trying to keep herself warm. Her coat and scarf weren't warm enough for her from this blizzard. She didn't even have a hood, causing her long blonde hair to cover by the snow. The Grinch wanted to leave the little girl since he doesn't have any business with her, but he couldn't stop hearing that whimpering shivering sound from the Who girl, and if he leave her there, she'll die. He knew he's not that kind of person of leaving a child to death as the Grinch slowly held the little girl in his arms, and took her in his cave.

The Grinch put the girl on his bed. He checked her temperature by touching her forehead. She was burning hot, like having a fever. She was really freezing out in the cold. He quickly want downstairs to boil hot water in a kettle on his fireplace, took out a basin and towel, and brought them back up in his room. Grinch placed the small tower with warm water on the girl's forehead, and covered her with his blanket. He also made hot soup for her to warm her insides. Even if the girl is still shivering and her eyes are close, she can feel a spoon of soup in front of her lips as she took a sip of it from the spoo. The Grinch kept feeding the girl with hot soup to cure her from fever. He realized he can't bring the little girl back to Whoville because of the storm. As he hate to admit it, the Grinch decided to let the little girl stayed here for the night, and he'll sleep downstairs on the couch.

The next morning, Grinch went upstairs to check on his "patient". The little girl is still sleeping. He checked her temperature, and it was normal now. Gladly, she didn't die, and she's healthy. He noticed that the storm is over, and the sun is rising. It's time to take the little Who girl home as he wrapped her with a big towel to keep her warm. He wrapped a scarf around his neck, and held a red balloon that he kept last night before going out of the door.

When he walked down the sloping land way from his cave, the Grinch can't even glance at the little girl for a moment. He just can't believe he's helping a Who. He may not regret it, but at least he can get rid of her from his territory. When he made it to town, and no one's watching him, the Grinch put the little girl on a bench, leaving her with his towel and tying the string of the balloon around her right wrist. The Grinch ran off out of town and back to Mt. Crumpit before anyone noticing him.

Present day.

When he told Aggie about his story, the Grinch soon realized that the little Who girl he rescued was none other than Donna Lou Who.

"That was her all along," he gasped.

"Maybe meeting and knowing her more might be your destiny," Aggie said.

"I don't think that's my destiny, Aggie. I've been alone fore decades now. How can it be my destiny that it happened just now?" Grinch hung his head down sadly. He's been waiting for his destiny for so long, and he didn't believe on those things now.

Aggie placed her hand on the Grinch's shoulder, "You know what? Why don't we go inside and eat? It's getting cold anyway."

The Grinch nodded as the two went inside the cave.

It's almost lunch time, but they decided to eat early as the Grinch only served left over roast beef that Donna offered to him after Christmas dinner. He even cut a slice for Max.

"Sorry about it. This is the only food I had for lunch," The Grinch said to Aggie.

"No problem," She replied. "In fact, I'm a meat-eater myself. I thought you Whos are vegetarians. In many worlds that I visited, people don't eat meat, like in Equestria! They are all ponies. They are all vegetarians, they don't eat meat. Even in Cars world where all creatures are vehicles; cars, planes, boats, and others. Even animals are cars. Clearly they are all made in metal, so they don't eat meat, so do I when I lived there." When Aggie cut the beef and took a slice, she suddenly changed the topic and cleared her throat. "Enough with this. Let's get back to your situation."

"You call that situation?" Grinch sliced his food.

"Yes. That's my mission."

"What mission?"

"This mission! This is the problem. You have feelings for Donna, but you're afraid to admit it, and now, you're even afraid to confess! Although it's more like a love problem than a friendship problem."

"So, this means you were sent here to help me confess my feelings for Donna Lou? Wow, sending you here for this is so ridiculous."

"Let's go straight to the point, shall we?! I have to finish this mission so I can go home with my family, and celebrating New Year with them! So, you have a problem with your new strange feelings and your destiny. And it's my job to help you with that."

"Listen, Aggie, it's not gonna work. I mean, Donna Lou and I just friends. Nothing's gonna happen between us," Grinch protested.

"A man like you and a woman like her cannot be just friends," Aggie took a bite of the beef. "There's more than that."

"I'm not a man that she expected, Aggie. I'm the Grinch who hates Christmas, being accompanied by none except his dog, and steals the whole town's Christmas."

"First, you used to hate Christmas and everyone who likes it, and you did return their Christmas stuff and they forgave you, including Donna. If you have feelings for her, you must confess!"

"But how can she be in love with someone like me?! What if she doesn't like me? I'm too different and too old for her!" The Grinch was so desperate, he can't tell his new friend the reason why he can't be in love with Donna Lou.

"Age, species, they didn't matter. You have to show her that she means to you, and you mean to her," Aggie told him.

"How can I do that?"

"Just leave it all to me… because I know exactly how do that."
