He approached the bad guys house, looks through the window, he ducked when he sees piranha leaving the kitchen with some wrapping paper.

He moves to the living room window where he saw everyone gathered around to wrap boxes.

The grinch rolled his eyes in annoyance and he sees sharing coming out of the closet with his Santa suit hanging, he smiled.

"There it is max, now all I need is to find a way to get in and steal the suit"

He pick pocket the back door thanks to snake, he carefully sneaked in, he tip toe over to the closet.

Wolf sees princess was doodling drawings, she holds one, then he sees her walking out of the room, which gives them time.

"Ok everyone time to do the annual gift check up for princess, for what we got princess for Christmas, we'll start with piranha"

As they go on the grinch sneak behind and snatch the Santa suit.

"Ok so I got her this nice new pink coat, I figured she could use a new one" he shows them the coat.

"Aw so cute" webs says as they muttered and clapped.

"Very nice piranha, shark" wolf says.

"I got her this" he pulls out a big clam shell, but everyone just stared and snake didn't looked pleased.

"You got her a clam shell...how nice" he says sarcastically.

"It's not just a shell" shark looked annoyed as he opens it.

"It's a music box" it plays melodic tropical soft lullaby music.

"Ok very good shark, I'm sure she's gonna love that, webs, your turn"

"Ok so I spend three nights making her this" she pulls out a plushie.

But the guys just stared at him, looking confused.

"What's so great about a plushie?" Snake asked.

"Because this one responds to touch, watch" she hugs the plushie and it hugs her back which impressed them but snake.

"Very slick webs" wolf says.

"So cute" piranha and shark awed.

"Bah, whatever like she hasn't had enough toys already" snake hissed which had everyone annoyed at him.

"Alright snake what did you get her?" Wolf asked.

"I got her the best gift ever" he coughs up a pendant.

They aged their eyes at it, awed by the thoughtful treasure then he puts it in a pink velvet heart box.

"Well I'm sure she's gonna love it" wolf says then everyone chuckles which the grinch rolled his eyes as he carefully sneaks out.

"But you know this brings me back to our time with the grinch, I do miss him" wolf says and it had the grinch listening.

"Yeah wish it didn't had to come to this" webs says.

"Yeah but you heard what the grinch said, he didn't wanted to do anything with us anymore, it's time we moved on, get on with our lives, and it starts with making the perfect Christmas for our daughter" snake said.

"Snake's right, it's time we moved on" wolf says and it made the grinch frowned as he exited the house.

"But still I think it would be only fair if we hang his stocking so he won't be let out" wolf suggestion had everyone bowed in agreement, he puts a grinch stocking that represents the grinch.

"So wolf what about you what did you get princess" webs asked.

"Just something very special" he holds out a box and inside was an old doll from that New Year's Eve guest before princess, a pink charm bracelet and the grinch's scarf.

Princess came in as soon as they wrapped the presents, Princess came in and she saw the grinch outside the window trying to get away, his eyes open when he saw her.

She waved and smiled at him, it caught the bad guys attention.

"Who are you waving at princess" piranha as they looked outside to see no one, the grinch disappeared.

"Must've saw a bird or something" snake said.

Princess goes to the window, still thinking about the grinch then she smiled as she gets an idea.

Running upstairs to her room, she takes some paper and crayons and starts doodling again.

Then the grinch gets to work on adjusting shark's Santa suit to fit him.

"There's only one thing left to do. Max, do you know what you are? You are a sturdy little fella. And loyal. Very loyal. In fact, I think you're the best dog a Grinch could hope for. And that is why I'm promoting you. Max, you will guide my sleigh tonight.  Ha-ha! I knew you wouldn't let me down. And soon that child know what it's like to have something taken from them"

"It was now Christmas Eve. There was joy in the air. For in just a few hours, Santa Claus would be there. And the gifts would be left, and the stockings all filled. And the anticipation, well, it started to build. The Grinch was now ready to start his big trip"

The bad guys had took princess in bed, they see her nuzzled it warmth their hearts, but what they are really excited is to see her on Christmas morning to see her face that she will make when she opens up her presents.

"He stood like a captain aboard a great ship"

"Yes, the time had now come to take off like a shot. Here we go, Max. Let's see what you've got!" But max got buried in show.

"What? Max? Max, are you okay? Huh? Yeah, Max! Attaboy! Go, boy! Go!" They arrived in whoville.

And down the Grinch came on his great fateful ride toward the good homes of Who-ville and the Christmas inside. He had planned it and prepped it, big detail to small. Yes, he'd get rid of Christmas now, once and for all. You take the outside, I'll take the inside. House number one. He was ready to pounce, and set the score right. He'd make up for the past, and he'd do it tonight. And he take his former friends this very night"

"Okay. Now let's steal Christmas" the grinch says.

"He swept up their presents with the speed of a wiz. And he knew he'd cause sadness, only theirs now, not his. All this excess and nonsense it was all about greed. About meaningless stuff that they didn't even need. Yeah. The Grinch went to work. He scooped up the toys. He raced against time, he raced against joy. He hit a few snags as he made his way through......an angry orange cat and a sleepwalking Who"

"Huh? AH!"

"Thank you, Mommy" the sleepwalker says as he pours some milk

"He stole pop guns and bicycles, roller skates, drums, checker boards, tricycles, popcorn and plums. Gadgets and gizmos and dolls with strange names, goofballs and shloof-balls and video games. And he swiped, and he poached. Yes, the stealing was on. And this day that he hated, well, he made it be gone"

"This is it. The last house"

He arrived at the place where it all started, where his family was stolen.

"Dashing through the snow in a one-dog open sleigh ♪ One more house to go and Christmas goes away ♪ it's goodbye Christmas and princess"

He sees a picture frame of the bad guys with princess, he rolled his eyes and pushed the picture on the floor.

He takes the tree when a pink ornament fell, the sound of the ornament hit the floor ran upstairs to princess room, where her ears twitched by the sound and it woke her up.

"Huh?" She heads downstairs to see the pink ornament rolling towards her.

And she saw the back of Santa she smiled and gasped as the grinch looked underneath to see the pile of pink presents for princess all from the bad guys.

"Ugh, all gifts for a small child" he says as he starts taking them.

"Santa" she cheered and the grinch heard.

"Huh? AH!" He was startled by her.

"Oh it's you" now he was quick to annoyed by although she could see right through him.

"Huh?" She baffled.

"Hello little girl what do you want?" He asked as he noticed her looking at the tree that was being taken.

"Oh Well... in case you're wondering what I'm doing with your tree, it's because uh-One of the lights wasn't working, yeah...so I thought...I'd take it back to the workshop and see if I could fix it" he smiled nervously and she brought it.

"Oh" she smiled and clapped.

"Sure. Now, why don't you go back upstairs to bed, and then when you wake up the tree will be fixed and your presents will be waiting under it. So goodbye" he pushes her gently back to the stairs and she walks.

He continues to stealing but he heard her again, "ugh what do you want?" He asked.

But he sees her holding a plate of Christmas cookies, which she held out to him.

He was flattered, and takes one, "oh...why thank you, thank you very much"

Then she takes his hand which surprised him and she has him sit on couch.

"Oh well this is-" then he sees her giving him a glass of milk.

"Oh uh-thanks" he drinks it then princess sits next to him, she was looking at him.

"What?" It caught his attention when she reached out to him.

So he hesitated and picks her up to his face and she pulled down on his head bad he was shocked by it but she smiled.

"Grinch" she shouts his named.

Then sighed give up, "alright fine, you win..I give up, all I wanted is to continue the traditional holiday heist with my friends, I mean...what's so great about you, what makes you do special, just a kid that's not even their own, what's so great about you" asked as he sighed then he felt her resting her head on his lap as if she understood him.

"Look at me, I'm dressed as Santa Claus, robbing the greatest criminals ever and talking to a kid"

Then he sees her giving him a piece of paper, "huh?" He takes it and he was surprised to see it was a drawing of him and princess and the bad guys all together but what really got him was how the grinch and princess were holding hands and how he was smiling, it gave him hope.

"Oh wow, well it's a very nice picture, I'm sure you'll be a great artist some day"

Princess jumped in excitement as he puts the picture in his pocket.

"Now, why don't you go back up to bed, hmm?" He was surprised when she crawled over and hugged his neck, he felt a tingling sensation, a feeling he never felt in a long time not since he meet the bad guys.

"Now I see why? Why they gave up everything" he muttered.

She lets go then jumps down and walks to bed waving "Bye bye"

"Good... Good night" he whispered and waved, then he took the tree and presents and went off, but he couldn't shake that warm feeling.

But max noticed, "max, I just met that strang little girl again. that child" but he pushed those feelings away.

"All right, Max. Let's go"

He tried to forget it, but the words filled his head and he found himself thinking about what the young girl It was hard to imagine. Could it really be true? But if they could all be happy(the bad guys), maybe he could be, too"
