"Mr. Grinch?" Cindy repeatly clapped on big wooden door. It was a while, of course, but she, after a lot of pain and sparkle of fear, reached the top of the mountain Crumpet, The Grinch's possible home. But it seemd like nobody's home. Suddenly Snowy started bark. Cindy took Snowy with her, because she hoped it will may make The Grinch's interest bigger if he will see Carol's dog. "What's wrong, Snowy?" Cindy asked and Snowy nodded at small door, down of these big. These were made for Max to going on his own. "Snowy! That's it, good job!" Cindy smiled lightly and knelt to them.
She alrightly get in with Snowy behind her and with surprised face, looked around. The cave didn't looked that bad for living. As she was quietly going around and looking for The Grinch, she noticed many machines and conveniences, all of them made by him. There were too many broken things from garbage too. It seemed The Grinch takes everything what he finds. As they were getting more inside of the outstanding cave, they heard screams and strange noises from basement of cave.
Cindy wanted to get down, but then she noticed big tattered bed and some pictures on table next to it. The Grinch's bedroom. Cindy wasn't sure, but something just pulled her to check it out. As she found out all information about The Grinch's past from Whos she wanted make it clear, especially one simple thing. The Grinch and Martha May's relationship. From almost everyone, she talked with, Whos told her there was something between them, very unexcepted. The Grinch used to like her very much and Martha was attracted to him as well. Cindy hoped with her whole heart it's not truth anymore. She knew this fact could Carol totally destroy.
She slowly looked at table to check things on it. There were randomly just a sketches of random Christmas jokes like burning tree, Santa's falling from sky etc. Cindy sadly turned of these, because she couldn't except anything else from Christmas hater. As she putted them back, accidentaly one picture felt on ground. Cindy quickly took it and wanted put it back, but as she turned it to see what's it, she froze. It was photo, photo of Carol. Cindy didn't knew where the hell he could get that, but it was the only not broken or destroyed thing out here. Cindy smiled at Snowy when she showed her the one and then put it in her coat.
"I guess, Mr. Grinch should explain this to us" Cindy giggled and winked at Snowy, who happily barked for yes. After that, Cindy and Snowy looked around how to get more close to the noises which seemed to be The Grinch's shouting. Cindy noticed a little stairs on left side and pointed Snowy to follow her and as she excepted they appearead in cave's basement and in surprise watched way weird view at The Grinch's head putted in big clapping monkey. "Mr. Grinch?" Cindy called, but the noise from monkey was too loud, that Cindy almost couldn't hear herself. Snowy barked, but instead of The Grinch's attention, they get other. Max's.
Max whole of happiness in a while ran to Snowy to welcome her enough. They seemed so happy and sweet together! As they were licking each others, Cindy little nervously stepped closer to the clapping monkey and carefully touched hairy shoulder of The Grinch "Excuse me?" As she did that, the Grinch turned his head and took clapping monkey's hands to stop. It whirred for a while, but then it totally stopped and stayed silent. Then The Grinch in shock turned down at Cindy "Hello..little girl?"
"HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE GRINCH'S LAIR?! THAT INSOLENCE!" he started yell at her and Cindy rather stepped away from him. "You called the Thunder. Not ready for the...BOOM!" he pointed at her and it seemed he want to fright her forever, so Cindy took her breath and ignored his BOOGABOOGA. "Mr. Grinch. My name is Cindy, Cindy Lou Who" she introcuded herself and wanted continue, but he again cutted her off with his annoying haunting "You see? Even the terror is welling up in you!" But Cindy calmly replied "I'm not scared. I'm here to invite you to be Holiday Cheermaister!"
The Grinch looked confused "Holiday Who-be, What-be?!" Cindy giggled. "Cheermaister!" she repeated, little laughing and nodded him to look at the invitation. The Grinch looked at the paper, muttered something and then started sarcasticly laugh "That's a good one!" As he said that, he turned away from Cindy and walked away. Cindy immediately followed him, she was prepared to not giving up on this. At least for Carol.
"I know you hate Christmas. But if you gave the Whos last chance" Cindy said and followed him. "Last chance? GROW UP!" he shouted at her while he was leaving and Cindy almost ran to catch him. "Please! Carol needs you" Cindy said as she was desperately running behind him. The Grinch in a second stopped and seemed like he froze. Then he slowly turned back at Cindy "Carol?...Wha-t was your last name actually?" Cindy was glad, that he's finally listening to her. "Lou Who. I'm Carol's younger sister" she said and The Grinch seemed to have interest in this whole situation.
"And she talked about me? What was that?! Is she maybe mad at me? Or she isn't? How is she doing?" The Grinch was asking many questions and Cindy was just smiling about his care. "Come on! Before a while I couldn't shut you up! Details, details!" he again turned to be loud and pattered her on face to talk. "Well..she isn't good at all" Cindy said and The Grinch rolled his eyes "And?!" Cindy continued "She got invited to be the Christmas Queen with Martha May. If she will win she will become partner of Cheermaister!" The Grinch seemed that his interest is slowly fading "Uh only because of this you want me to come?! Noo."
"But she wants you to come, she's talking about you whole days. She really needs you to be with her tonight, just once" Cindy said and tried save it for the last time. The Grinch was thinking, but then he noticed running Max with Snowy to them, pointing him to agree. "Then tell her, that I'll come" he muttered and Cindy lightly smiled. "Thank you so much! She will be very happy!" she said and The Grinch chuckled "I can imagine that. She should thank to such a manipulating kid as you are, I think I wouldn't ever come back down, especially now when all of these annoying Whos are singing. Ugh!"
Cindy little laughed and walked with him back to exit. As she wanted to leave, The Grinch suddenly stopped her. "Although I'll see her tonight, it doesn't mean you can steal me this" he said, little upset and grabbed from her jacket Carol's photo. Cindy wanted explain, but before she could, he pulled a rope at door and she plunged into underground slide with scream, which in a while of ride changed to laugh.
The Grinch looked at the Carol's photo and little stroked it by his furry hand. Then he quickly found out he forgot send back to Whoville one more thing. Snowy seemed she actually ignored everything around and her whole attention owned Max who was showing her his own part of cave. "Instead of you both messing around, you should do something to help!" he shouted at them and after that they turned at him back, little confused, because they didn't really knew what's going on.
The Grinch rolled his eyes, when he saw their confused faces. "I have a date with your owner, you biting one! And I don't have anything to wear!" he said desperately and looked around for just a little thing, that would help. It seemed like if he will not find anything fitting, he will stay here. Fortunately there wasn't only Max for help. There was Snowy, who knew Carol way properly and was ready do anything to make her happy as always. She just needed some Who-victim to bite and then steal...
New chapter is here! This took a little longer than I excepted and it should turn out better, but I'm not in the mood to think to fix it or rewrite. I actually tried in some whiles follow the script, but as I said THIS BOOK ISN'T FOLLOWING MOVIE PROPERLY. I guess it turned out quite good and I hope you will like it at least a bit. Also apologizes for all my mistakes, I'm trying to correct them, whenever I'm able. Thanks a lot for reading and leave me here some comments✨
