The Grinch: The Team

Chapter 2: Stealing Christmas (a.k.a: Stealth Mode)

The next morning, The Grinch, Cindy, Max, and Fred all got ready for their big day. Cindy did things she would normally do, like brush her teeth, and put on her winter clothes, while The Grinch, on the other hand, sprayed some Mold Spice deodorant on his underarms and his mouth, ordered Max to get him some coffee via using a straight up weird coffee machine, got his fur all puffed up with a hair dryer machine, and, being the miserable green dude that he is, getting a new coat of fur. He picked the "Most Miserable" coat, which, oddly enough, was his favorite.

Later, the four had breakfast and discussed their plans for the night. But, The Grinch's, however, weren't really that bright.

"Ok. This is what we're going to do." The Grinch said to his team. "I'm going to become Santa Claus, but instead of giving presents, I'll take them away! Meanwhile, Cindy will be Ms. Claus…" "Yay!" Cindy squeed happily. "And, finally, Fred, you'll pull our sleigh, and, just in case you get tired, you'll have Max for backup." The two pets yelped in excitement. That day, the team did all sorts of..mean things in Whoville. Cindy joined in, although she was a bit worried about her parents. She got out her phone, while The Grinch was at the store, and texted them that she was alright. Her parents said she could stay with The Grinch as long as they could still be in touch. That night, they all hurried to bed at Mt, Crumpit (it was Christmas Eve that night), but, when 12 o' clock struck, they got ready for their big plan.

Cindy got on her gear, The Grinch followed suit. They had all sorts of gizmos and gadgets to boot. They got on the sleigh as they all rode through town, with Christmas lights glowing on streets all around. They couldn't believe they were finally there, as soon as they came to the first house on the square. The Grinch climbed through the chimney in a rather tight pinch. But, if Santa could do it, so could The Grinch. The team went on in, and to their surprise, there were lots of presents of all shape and size. They all got ready to steal the holiday, and they would pull it all off in their own special way.

"Alright, team." The Grinch said. "Let's steal Christmas!"

The team went to work. They took all the toys. They raced against time. They raced against joy. They all hit a few snags as they made their way through an angry orange cat, and a sleepwalking Who. Their gadgets and gear were not quite enough. So, the Grinch said…

"It's time to pull out the big stuff!"

Then, he pressed a red button. The sleigh slithered and geezed, and then it turned into a Christmas-stealing machine! The team manned all the gadgets that were stuffed inside, as Whoville was ready for one wild ride! One gizmo got burlap sacks and stuffed up the trees, another got stockings emptied out with such ease, another one got all the food from The Whos' Christmas feast, and yes, it even got the rare Who roast beast, and one more gadget got all the decor, and smashed it and burned it till there was no more. The team got on the sleigh, with smiles full of glee, as the happy Grinch shouted…

"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!"
