Grinch walked in his office, sat down at his desk and looked at the Newspaper. It was showing how his business was doing. It says that his store is doing well but he still wasn't impressed.
"Hmm, profits are good, but we can do better," The Grinch said in determination before seeing someone beside him, "What do you think you're doing, hovering Lego guy?"
The Grinch's eyes then widened when he realizes a Lego guy is not only here but he's hovering and he's translucent, which means that this Lego guy is a Ghost. He panicked seeing a Ghost in his office but then The Grinch realized who this Ghost was.
"Do my eyes deceive me?" The Grinch asked in shock and fear, "Or am I being visited by-"
"Lord Business!" The Lego Ghost cut him off confirming who he was, "Otherwise known as President Business."
"The President of the Octan Corporation and Lego City, as well as the main villain of the first Lego Movie," The Grinch said in amazement as he held up a magazine with Lord Businesses picture on it, "Y-you were my idol! My inspiration to make my Store! But wait a minute, I thought you were-"
"Deceased? A Spirit? A Ghost or in other words Dead? Why yes, yes I am," Lord Business confirmed as he flew around The Grinch, "And I have been so since last Christmas Eve when a disgruntled employee threw me into a vat of Dip."
"Yeesh," The Grinch cringed when he mentioned The Dip.
"Exactly, but it was a fitting end for me Grinch because I was actually a lot like you," Lord Business told him as he landed on the desk, "Small minded, selfish and seriously greedy, and if you don't change your ways, you'll end up just like me!"
"Pfft, not a chance," The Grinch scoffed at that, "I'm not stupid to get a vat of Dip."
"You're missing the point!" Lord Business said sternly as he flew off the desk, "You need to start pulling other people's needs instead of the almighty dollar!"
Lord Business then sees The Grinch trying to sneak away from him. So Lord Business appeared in front of him by phasing through the floor which scared The Grinch and caused him trip and bumped into a statue of himself which left him in a daze.
"Yes, it's gonna hurt at first but it's only hope because before the night is through, you'll be visited by three more Ghosts," Lord Business warned him "Each of them are more terrifying than the last and each of them are on a quest for your very soul change Grinch before it's too late!"
The Grinch was a little scared but then he put on a stern look, "Wait a minute! Is this is some kind of trick? Who put you up to this?" he demanded in an angry tone "Was it that Sponge or did my subordinates hire you to scare me into treating him with some dignity?"
"You're doomed!" Lord Business said in a ghostly tone as he phased through The Grinch before flying around him "DOOOOOOOOMED!"
Lord Business then disappeared into thin air and The Grinch was shaken up by what just happened. H looked around to make sure there were no other Ghosts, not knowing that someone was behind him.
"Excuse me?"
The Grinch let out a scream as he jumped so high that he landed on the lamp that was hanging above his desk. The Grinch looked around as he thought that there was another Ghost but then he saw SpongeBob looking up at him with a cheeky smile.
"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost," SpongeBob said as he did his signature laugh.
"What are you doing in my office?" The Grinch asked in a stern.
"Oh, I asked that blonde girl with the hearts on her cheeks where they sell the cheap roller skates and she sent me up here," SpongeBob answered.
"Get out of my office now!" The Grinch yelled angrily.
SpongeBob shrugged as he went towards the exit as the lamp that The Grinch was on started to break and then it fell onto his desk. The Grinch was in a daze, and he dusted himself off and looked around fearfully.
"I'm okay. I'm alright," The Grinch said as he sighed in relief.
Just then there was a poof in thin air and The Grinch yelled as he fell on the ground. He thought it was another Ghost, but it was just the mailman of ToonTown, The Genie from Aladdin.
"Oy, I haven't seen a fall like that since Rome," The Genie said as he used his magic to help The Grinch up, "Oh much better. Oh, and also special delivery to The Grinch."
The Genie then handed a package to The Grinch and then he poofed away. The Grinch then looked at what he got in from the mailman.
"Well lookie here, a Christmas present just for me," The Grinch said as he saw the note on the present which says, 'To The Grinch from your number 1 fan, The Grinch,' which made him smile, "and it's from my favorite person, me," The Grinch then opened up the present and smiled at what it was, "Oh, my very own Taskmaster 7000 Smart Office Remote! Thank you me!"
The Grinch then looked at how messed up his desk was, and he pushed a button. The ground crushed the messed-up desk before it went into the ground and revealed a brand-new desk as robot hands fixed up the items on his desk.
Then The Grinch heard a knock on his door and so he used the remote to open it. It was Mike Wazowski, and he was about to walk in but then he fell to the floor and fell asleep. So, The Grinch pressed a button and a robot hand grabbed Mike and placed him in front of The Grinch.
"What is it Wazowski?" The Grinch asked but then he saw that Mike was asleep again, so he pushed a button, and the robot hands slapped him awake. Mike saw the stern look his boss was giving him, "Well, what is it Wazowski? I don't have all day."
"Sorry to bother you, sir," Mike said with a yawn, "But I've worked 37 straight triple shifts Mr. Grinch."
"Yeah, yeah get on with it," The Grinch said boredly as he sat on his desk.
"I'm exhausted sir. I can't keep my eye open," Mike said as he pulled up his eyelid.
"Well then drink espresso, pinch yourself or something. Just get back to work!" The Grinch told him as he pushed a button and a robot arm grabbed Mike and dragged him out of the office.
"Oh, who does he think he is?" Mike said angrily, "I swear one of these days I'm gonna-"
Mike couldn't finish his sentence as he fell asleep again as the robot arm dragged him out of the office. Just then Star Butterfly walked into the office and two robot arms placed her into a chair and sat her in front of The Grinch.
"I'm so very homesick Mr. Grinch," Star told him in a sad tone, "And I was wondering if I could have some time off to spend the Holidays with my family?"
"My answer is an absolute NO!" The Grinch said sternly, "Now get back to work!"
"But sir, it's Christmas Eve and I miss my family!" Star said in a desperate tone, "I miss my mom, my dad and my boyfriend Marco and I really wanna spend Christmas and New Year's with them! So please, I'll even work overtime if I have to!"
The Grinch was silent for a while, "okay I think I can agree to that."
"Wait really" Star asked hopefully.
"Yeah, you'll be working overtime from now until January 2nd with no days off and no pay!" The Grinch said with a smirk much to Star's shock and horror, "Now bon voyage Butterfly!"
The Grinch then pushed a button as the chair Star was sitting on popped out a rocket launcher at the bottom of the chair.
"Grrr, you dirty rotten evil son of a-AHHHH!" Star screamed as she was launched out of the office, just as Lincoln was about to come in.
"Um, I need to speak with you Mr. Grinch," Lincoln said as he walked into the office as The Grinch pushed a button to get rid of Lincoln, but nothing happened as Lincoln kept walking towards the desk, "As assistant assistant manager I feel like it's my responsibility to speak on behalf of the other employees."
The Grinch was confused by why the button wasn't working. He kept pushing the button to try to make it work even beating it, but nothing happened as Lincoln approached the desk.
"I've already, quote unquote, taken care of the others," The Grinch told him, "Now if there isn't anything else-"
"Actually, I was wondering if I could take tomorrow off," Lincoln asked as The Grinch kept trying to make the button work, "So that way I can spend Christmas with my family."
The Grinch eventually gave up on the remote and threw it across the room before glaring at Lincoln, "What is it with you and your family? You act like you are related to them or something."
"They are my family sir and even though we have our ups and downs with one boy and ten girls I wouldn't trade them for the world," Lincoln explained honestly to his boss, "So please sir, can you at least show a little Christmas spirit?"
"I liked to Loud, I really would," The Grinch said as he got off his desk and lead Lincoln to the door, "But how would it look to the other employees, you can't just be thinking about yourself," he added as he literally kicked Lincoln out of his office, "Now stop your crying and go assistant assistant manage something. We still have last minute shoppers to exploit!"
"But sir, what do I tell my family?" Lincoln asked.
"Tell them BAH HUMBUG!" The Grinch yelled as he slammed the door shut.
