Chapter 7: A surprise visit
Lucy's POV
The next morning, I was awoken by loud crashes. I got up and stared as my brother held his head between the cymbals of a large monkey. He's really lost it now.
I sat back as I heard Christmas music. So THAT'S why he's all nuts. I opened my palm and began forming a ball of ice, just for fun, as I watched him.
After a while, I heard a knock at the door and a faint "Hello?"
Dropping the ice, I looked up in time to see the little girl we saved. She reached out and tapped Grinch. "Excuse me."
Grinch stopped and forced the monkey to a halt, creating sparks and small explosions. I watched in great amusement as he began to jump around, making faces, trying to frighten the girl, Cindy Lou.
When he failed, he turned to me, out of breathe. "Kids these days."
I smirked and he turned back to her. "What do you want?" He snapped loudly.
Cindy took off her earmuffs and said, "Mr. Grinch, I'd like to invite you to be the Whobilation Cheermister."
"Really now?" I asked, getting up.
Cindy held out an invitation. We read it, and Grinch laughed. "That's a good one."
"It's not going to work kid. I mean, Grinch hates Christmas more than anyone." I said, but she trailed after my foster brother anyway, trying to covince him. One thing made him stop short though.
"Please, you have to accept the reward!" Cindy pleaded. He turned and faced her.
"A reward? You never mentioned...a reward...and I won?"
"You won!" Cindy said.
"He won? How in the heck did that happen?" I asked.
Cindy looked down. "Well...the Mayor wasn't happy..."
"Oh...no." Grinch said in sarcastic sadness.
As we headed for the door, I leaned down to Cindy and whispered, "Tell me the truth. How'd he win?"
Cindy looked at me with her blue eyes. "Well...I nominated him after I researched his story."
"You researched his story?" I asked.
"Yes...yours too Miss Lucy." Cindy said, and handed me a roll of papers and a two tapes. "Just in case you were wondering."
"Thank you Cindy...and Merry Christmas..." I muttered before hiding the stuff in a crack on the wall.
We reached the door. "and WHY should I go?" Grinch asked.
"Martha May will be there." Cindy said in a teasing voice. That caught his attention, and mine too.
Martha May...the name sounded very familiar...
I turned away, but looked back in time to see Grinch pull the rope attached to a lever that sent Cindy Lou down the garbage chute.
I'm sorry this took forever...writers block. Dx
