Chapter 8: Grizelda and Paige

It is hot and sunny outside, so Gabby and Stella decided that they want ice cream. In Auntie Pam's Ice Cream parlour. The two girls are sitting at their table enjoying their ice cream flavour. Stella has banana ice cream and Gabby has blueberry ice cream, both of them are eating them out of waffle cones.

While the two are enjoying their ice cream, they then start a conversation. Stella will ask Gabby, "Will Paige be alright taking care of Grizelda?" Gabby assures her, "She'll be fine, also it's to teach her a lesson about being a bit more friendly towards her." Stella responds, "I hope that is true and Paige can handle her. While Gabby eats her ice cream she tells Stella, "I wonder what Paige and Grizelda are doing right now?"

Meanwhile we then start focusing on Paige and Grizelda, who are both in Paige's house. The two of them are sitting and resting on the sofas. Also Paige doesn't want Grizelda to get fatter so she won't let her eat. Paige then asks Grizelda about, "What are we going to do when we are done resting?" So after thinking, Grizelda comes up with an idea, "How about we go visit your bedroom?" Paige responds, "Sure."

So they choose to go to Paige's bedroom by walking. When they get there, Grizelda sees wrestling figures from Wrestlemania on the floor and she says, "I want to play wrestle with the wrestling figures in your bedroom!" Paige then says, "Okay."

So then the two girls play with the wrestling figures. The toys have headbands, shirts and wrestling shorts with one of them mostly wearing red and the other one blue. Grizelda has the one that mostly wears red, while Gabby gets the one that mostly wears blue. They start making their figures wrestle by moving their arms and legs to wrestle with each other.

A little later when Paige's wrestling figure was knocked down by Grizelda's wrestling figure, Grizelda jumps up and down with her fists in the air, in other words Grizelda wins! Paige accepts her loss and accepts Grizelda winning, she says, "Congratulations Grizelda!"

Paige and Grizelda then wonder what to do next? Grizelda then sees stuffed animals that Paige has, specifically a pink hippo and a blue bunny. Grizelda then asks Paige, "Can we play with your stuffed hippo and bunny please?"

We then go back to Gabby and Stella who are done with their ice creams and had left the ice cream parlour. The two are walking down the sidewalk, until Gabby sees and asks, "Hey Stella would you want to go to the arcade?" Stella replied, "Sure thing." So the two then enter the arcade. Gabby asks Stella, "Which game would you want to play first?" Stella answers, "Let's do Dance, Dance Revolution over there." Gabby accepts and says, "Sure."

So when the two make it to the game, Gabby puts 50c which starts the game, then together they start playing the game. The two girls would be each doing dance moves in their own dance pads. Stella is in the lead and when the game is over eventually Stella wins. When Stella wins, she raises her arms up and yells, "I win!" Gabby's response is, "I accept you winning."

After that Gabby and Stella decide to play another game in the arcade. Gabby tells Stella, "How about we play Pac Man?" Stella answers, "That is a good idea." The Pac Man game is on a big screen about the size of a desktop laptop. Gabby and Stella will play one at a time, but they first have to put 75c to start the game.

Gabby goes first in the game, she does pretty good but loses in the 8 level. Gabby is happy with her victory, this is the highest score she had ever gotten in Pac Man. Then Stella goes next, she does even better getting until level 10 which is when it's game over for her. When Stella got that high of a score, she then yells, "Hooray!' Gabby responded by saying, "Fine you are better than me." Stella then comforted Gabby by patting her back and telling, "Don't feel bad Gabby, getting until level 8 is impressive too." Gabby replies, "Thanks."

Stella then says to Gabby, "How about you choose the next game again?" Gabby says, "Sure thing but let's move." So the two walk around the arcade a bit until Gabby saw the next game she wants to play asking Stella, "How about we play Whack-A-Gopher?" Stella says, "Isn't it called Whack-A-Mole instead? Gabby then explains that, "Well the arcade game here says Whack-A-Gopher and it has gophers instead of moles." Stella replies, "Sure we can play that game." So the two go to play Whack-A-Gopher and they decide to take turns.

Stella puts 50c onto the game, grabs the mallet and presses a button to start the game, where the gophers start popping up and down. Stella starts whacking the gophers and when the game is done, Stella manages to whack 7 gophers. When the game is done, Stella throws her fists up cheering and she goes, "Yay!"

It's now Gabby's turn, so she starts the game, the same way Stella did. Gabby with the mallet starts whacking the gophers popping up and down. Gabby almost did as well as Stella, when the game ends, Gabby manages to get 6 gophers. Just like Stella, Gabby throws her fists up cheering and goes, "Yay!" Stella then says, "Congratulations Gabby," while clapping. Then Gabby says, "Thank you."

After that Stella says, "How about we leave the arcade?" Gabby replies, "Fine." So the two start leaving the arcade. When they start wishing that with Gabby saying it first, "I wish Grizelda was with us." Stella replies, "Agreed."

We then cut back to Paige and Grizelda. Actually we only see Paige in her bedroom and she is taking a nap. Then she wakes up, Paige questions afterwards, "Huh I was napping?" Then she looks around to see that Grizelda was missing. Paige would be worried and cries, "OH NO WHERE IS GRIZELDA!"

Then Paige hears some strange noises coming from another room with her reaction, "I hear some strange noises." Then she goes to investigate by leaving her bedroom. Paige hears the noises more closely when she goes to the living room. There Paige saw Grizelda sitting on one of Paige's sofas and she was gorging on some food. Grizelda was eating chocolate chip cookies, Paige would think that Grizelda will be gorging their entire fridge. But still Grizelda is already eating a lot of chocolate chip cookies.

Grizelda will suddenly look up at Paige with a bunch of cookies in her mouth. Paige will have a shocked look on her face and then she asks, "What on earth is going on?" Grizelda swallows all the cookies in her mouth and then responds, "Oh nothing." Then Paige starts complaining, "Grizelda you were stuffing yourself behind my back." Grizelda doesn't care.

Then Paige talks about her parents to Grizelda, "Well if my parents found out about you eating so much food in our house, they would freak out and we would both be in trouble." After hearing this Grizelda says, "Fine," while shaking her head. Paige then asks in an annoyed tone, "Hey Grizelda, would you like to do some workout?" The reason Paige asks this is because she wants Grizelda to lose some weight, but she wouldn't dare tell her that. Grizelda then answers, "Sure." Paige then says, "Let's go to the Royal Woods Gym."

After Paige told her that, the two began to hear voices outside the front door. Paige then whispers, "My parents are coming." Grizelda then asks quietly, "How are we going to get out of your house? Paige then whispers, "Come with me."So then Paige and Grizelda go off to find another way out. They made it into 1 of the backrooms, they saw a window and both girls were happy. Grizelda speaks first, "Let's go through that window."

Grizelda goes through the window first and she ends up getting stuck again. When Paige sees her like this, she gasps in shock and she pushes Grizelda with her back and her shoulders. They both want to completely get out. Paige gives Grizelda 1 last big shove of her shoulder. Grizelda pops through and she is out of the window.

Paige then goes through the window herself, she fits and Paige is out of the window. Grizelda says, "Thank you for the push." Paige then replies, "No problem." Then the two decide to leave, off to the gym.

Grizelda and Paige soon arrive at the gym, they go in by opening the door which was never closed. The two are soon inside the gym, after having a good look of the area, Paige will tell Grizelda while pointing at the object, "This is what we are going to do first, use the treadmill."

Grizelda will feel nervous and she tells Paige, "I'm not sure about this." Paige then replies, "Don't worry it will be fun, we will start slow first." After the encouragement, Grizelda decides to go on the treadmill and Paige helps start it. The machine starts slow at first and Grizelda does her best to keep pace with her running. So far Grizelda is actually doing pretty good, Paige reacts by encouraging and cheering her, "Go Grizelda Go! Keep Pushing!"

Then Paige thinks that the treadmill should go faster, so she turns it up a little. Before Grizelda didn't struggle with running on the machine. Now she starts to sweat and tells, "Paige, I'm getting tired." Paige asks, "Do you want me to stop the treadmill?" Grizelda tiredly says, "Yes." After that Paige tries to turn off the machine and she manages to do it.

When the machine was stopped, Grizelda became thirsty so she asked Paige, "Can I get a drink of water?" Paige answers, "Sure thing, the water is just around that corner." So Paige accepts and she points to a water fountain in the gym. When Grizelda sees where it is, she goes to the fountain and starts drinking a large amount of water, with Paige watching her.

Grizelda is soon done drinking all the water with her moving away from the fountain and wiping her mouth. Grizelda whispers, "Feels good." Paige then asks, "How did your drink go?" Grizelda says, "It's good."

After that, Paige tells Grizelda to go do the next gym activity, "Grizelda how about you go use the punching bag?" Paige points at a dark blue punching bag. After Grizelda sees the punching bag, she will be happy because she thinks that this activity will be easier for her to do. Then the two both run over to the punching bag.

Grizelda is actually excited to try this one out, she thinks this will be easier for her to play with. So Grizelda starts punching the blue bag, she likes playing it like this, then she starts taking it to another level. She'll then end up hitting it with her belly and then her butt. When the bag swings at her, she'll hit it with each body part.

When watching this, Paige thinks it's weird but she accepts Grizelda doing it and she wants to keep these thoughts to herself. Then Grizelda uses her butt. Paige will be rather impressed by Grizelda's strong attacks, she just smiles and doesn't do anything else because she wants to keep it to herself. Paige then asks, "Grizelda can you move so that I can try the punching bag myself?" After hearing Grizelda answer, "Sure." So she stops the punching bag, by not punching it, then she makes iit stand still.

Grizelda tells Paige, "Here you go the punching bag is all yours." Then Paige starts having her turn, she was almost as good as Grizelda. She uses her hands and she uses a karate kick against the punching bag. After a while, Paige finishes her turn, so she stops punching and makes the bag stand still. Grizelda is proud of Paige and says, "Wait to go Paige!" Then Paige asks, "How did I do?" Grizelda answers, "You did an awesome job Paige."

Then they hug and Paige gets squished from Grizelda's size. Paige is partially alright, she is kinda getting squeezed by Grizelda's fat body. When Grizelda releases Paige, she takes in a big breath of air and is then done doing that.

We then go back to Gabby who is walking on the streets alone. Sometime between where Paige and Grizelda were in the gym, Stella had to leave for something important that involves her family. Gabby is heading to her house, where she knows that her mom is there. She'll walk down the sidewalk for a few seconds, then she arrives home outside.

When Gabby opens the door to her house, she sees her mom sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Then Gabby's mom notices her daughter at the door, with her mom then asking her, "Where have you been?" Gabby responds, "I went to get ice cream with Stella." The mom says, "Okay." Then Gabby tells her mom, "I am going to be going out again in a few minutes." Gabby's mom then asked, "Where are you going next?" Gabby answers, "I'm gonna see how Grizelda is doing with Paige." Her mom agrees and tells, "You and Grizelda can go have fun."

Before Gabby leaves the house, she goes to find a snack for Grizelda. In the kitchen she opens the fridge and she sees a large chocolate bar, about as big as a small book and she grabs it out of the fridge. After she closes the fridge, she leaves, where Gabby goes through the door and out of the house.

We then focus on Paige and Grizelda again who are walking away from the gym. The two start talking with each other about how they did lifting the dumbells. Grizelda says, "The dumbbells were easier for me to lift then I thought." Paige responds, "They were hard for me to lift at first, but I managed to do it." Just after the two talked to each other, they then literally bump into Gabby, with both girls not watching where they are going.

The three girls are fine after bumping into each other, after that they give space to each other. Gabby speaks first, "Oh there you guys are." Paige then asks, "Gabby, what are you doing here?" Gabby answers, "I came to see how Grizelda was doing." Grizelda then excitedly answers, "I had a lot of fun spending time with Paige." Gabby will be rather surprised at this and she then asks, "Paige how did you handle being Grizelda's babysitter?" Paige answers, "I admit it went better than I thought it would."

Then Gabby shows Grizelda the chocolate bar with Grizelda being happy about it. Grizelda cheerfully yells, "Chocolate for me!" Gabby then says, "Yes." Grizelda replies, "Can I have it pretty please?" Gabby agrees and says, "It's for doing a good job at the gym." Then Gabby gives the chocolate bar to Grizelda, who takes the wrapper off partially and starts eating it messily. Paige's reaction to watching Grizelda is weird, messy and interesting (in other words fascinated) by how Grizelda eats the chocolate bar

Gabby then notices and asks, "Paige why are you staring at Grizelda?" Paige will answer, "Oh nothing," and she then stops staring at Grizelda. Gabby raises an eyebrow, then Grizelda finishes her chocolate bar. Grizelda rubs her belly and says, "Yummy." Gabby tells Grizelda, "I'm glad you enjoyed it." Grizelda then says, "Thanks," to Gabby. Then all three of them decide to head somewhere else, in other words we see Gabby, Paige and Grizelda run off.

The end of Chapter 8.
