Back in the town of Whoville, the denizens continued to go about their day as usual. Completely unaware that two terrors were currently walking amongst them, ready to spread chaos in their wake. One such figure was dressed in a dirt-colored cloak and a rubber Who mask covering his otherwise green, catlike face. A small mangy-looking dog followed his heels, as he slinked through the town. Accompanying the pair, also dressed in an old smelly cloak, was a tiny, pink-coated Pegasus filly. Normally she’d be taking to the sky and fly, but since she was trying to remain incognito she preferred walking behind her larger companion as a group of Who’s passed by.
“Merry Christmas!” The group said.
“Oh yeah, you bet!” Grinch spoke unenthusiastically. “Ho-ho-ho and stuff.”
“Yeah, and good tidings to all!” Cozy added, under her hood.
“Don’t oversell it kid!” Grinch quietly whispered.
The group of Who’s turned back toward the two suspiciously due to their unenthusiastic responses. However, in doing so they accidentally crashed into another group of Who’s and everyone went down.
“Oh my, someone has vandalized that vehicle!” Grinch spoke, in mock shock. “You see that, the city is a dangerous place.”
“No kidding!” Cozy replied. “To think that could’ve been us, run over by those careless Who’s. So… what shall we do to get back at these ingrates?”
“I’ve got a few ideas,” Grinch smirked.
The Grinch quickly snagged a hacksaw from a nearby hardware store display, hiding it behind his back as they continued down the street. Cozy had no idea what he had in mind with the hacksaw, but she knew it had to be good.
“The Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season. Now please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.”
“Okay man, no offense or anything, but does ‘everything’ you say have to rhyme?”
“Pardon me my friend, but it’s all part of my presentation.”
“I really need to have a serious discussion with Seuss about this later. Carry on!”
The Grinch and Cozy Glow, with Max in tow, continued down the street passing many other Who’s in their path. The Who’s, being kind as they are, greeted them one by one in such a sickly sweet manner.
“Top of the day!” A policeman greeted.
“Flatfoot!” Grinch waved back.
As they trekked down the path, Cozy noticed two little Who girls skipping merrily along the street. Getting a nasty idea, she grabbed the hacksaw from the Grinch and handed it to the pair.
“Hello little cuties!” She spoke, feigning friendliness. “Here’s a little Christmas present for you! Now be sure to run real fast with it, okay?”
“Okay!” They said excitedly.
“Goody, now come on!” Grinch encouraged. “Double time! Let’s move, move, move!”
The two girls burst into a run down the street with the hacksaw, much to the amusement of the Grinch and Cozy Glow.
“Think they’ll be alright?” Cozy asked.
“Oh yeah, no problem at all,” Grinch scoffed. “Maybe missing a few fingers tomorrow, but they’ve got plenty more.”
Cozy Glow soon spotted a nearby grocery store and a devious idea formed in that twisted little head for one mean thing to do. She quickly marched her way into the store and spotted a smaller Who woman trying to reach a jar from a high shelf. She grinned wickedly before taking a quick peek around then used her wings to float her off the ground towards that top shelf. She grabbed the jar which the woman tried to reach for and examined it.
“Um, excuse me dear,” The woman spoke. “Are you going to buy that?”
“Hmm???” Cozy thought, looking at her.
Then with a smirk, Cozy Glow placed the jay back on the top shelf.
“Nope!” She answered smugly.
“Well! How rude!” The woman said.
Cozy Glow merely flew away, but not before bumping the top shelf with her hip and sent the jar falling off and right at the woman’s feet with a *SMASH!*. Cozy soon flew out the door and spotted the Grinch holding onto the bumper of a moving car, which pulled him across the way. Cozy Glow quickly made her way back beside the Grinch, who let go of the bumper and together they continued their walk down the street. Seeing a Who passing by with his hands full of presents stacked almost as tall as he was, the Grinch elbowed the man along the side and caused him to lose all control thereby dropping all his gifts.
“It could be perhaps that his head wasn’t screwed on just right; it could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight.”
“Why would ‘shoes’ affect the way you feel about something? I never got that—”
“But I think the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.”
The diabolical duo continued down the street before their paths were stopped by the Zoot Suit Who holding his cane in front of them.
“Hey there strangers!” He greeted. “Won’t let you go till you buy a chapeau!”
The Grinch glared at the Who beneath his mask before glancing over at Cozy Glow, as an idea formed in his own head.
“Wanna see something really useful kid?” He asked her.
“Let’s see it!” Cozy nodded.
The Grinch turned back to the Who and raised his mask just above his mouth. He released a huge, nasty belch so vile a ‘literal’ cloud of a greenish stench emerge. He blew it right into the Who’s face, sending him falling to the ground completely unconscious. Cozy Glow laughed her little hooves off seeing it all happen before her eyes.
“OH MY FAUST!!!” She laughed breathlessly. “That’s the best thing I ever saw! Talk about killer breath! Ha-ha-ha!”
“That’s nothing kiddo,” Grinch chuckled. “Now let’s go. We’ve got places to be, lives to mess with~”

Meanwhile, back in the department store, a blaring alarm suddenly went off. Everyone around the store looked around in complete confusion, determined to see what set it off. The ponies and Spike instantly assumed their fighting stance.
“What’s going on?” Twilight asked.
“If I had to guess, it’s Cozy Glow causing trouble!” Rainbow answered.
“Wutever that lil’ devil’s up to, we ain’t lettin’ her get away with it!” Applejack said determined.
“Guys… I don’t think you have to worry about anything,” Cindy Lou assured.
“What do you mean Cindy Lou?” Fluttershy asked.
Cindy Lou merely pointed to the checkout counter where the clerk and the manager were both smiling at Lou.
“Lou!” The manager called out. “Congratulations, you’ve maxed out another credit card!”
Instantly, everyone in the store came up front to congratulate Lou. The ponies and Spike merely stood with looks ‘beyond’ confusion.
“That’s what the fuss is about?” Starlight asked.
“And how exactly is that a good thing?” Spike asked Cindy.
“In Whoville, maxing out your credit card on Christmas means you love Christmas most of all,” Cindy responded.
Hearing this made all the ponies, and Spike especially, shake their heads in disbelief. Up at the front desk, everyone still praised Lou for even more debt he now found himself in.
“I’ll be paying this off for years and years,” Lou said proudly. “Plus you know I’ve got the ‘worst’ interest rate.”
Everyone once again burst out laughing, cheering for Lou even while Cindy and her new friends just stared in bewilderment.
“How exactly is putting yourself in excruciating debt supposed to show your holiday spirit?” Starlight asked.
At that moment, Rarity walked toward the rest of the group with a cart loaded with shopping bags and boxed. Her eyes twitched madly, and her mane stuck out in certain places.
“Don’t ask me darling,” She smiled wickedly. “I personally have no idea how any pony could spend so… much… money… heh-heh. Ha-ha-ha-ha! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!”
<>
After finally leaving the department store, the Mane Six, Starlight, Spike, Cindy, and Lou made their way down the streets with presents practically hanging off them. Spike ended up carrying the most of Rarity’s things.
“I still can’t believe you actually bought all that stuff!” Twilight spoke disappointed.
“I couldn’t help myself darling,” Rarity defended. “It was on sale. I said to myself, ‘Oh you simply must darling!” and of course I had to agree with myself.”
“And how, Celestia forbid, are you even going to get all that stuff home?” Starlight asked. “’If’ and ‘when’ we go home I might add.”
“That’s… actually a very good question,” Rarity admitted. “But I’ll figure it out!”
“At least she definitely cut back last time,” Spike groaned, under the weight. “This is definitely going to be my exercise for the day.”
Everyone shook their heads in disapproval. Applejack looked over and noticed Cindy Lou seemed lost in her thoughts.
“Somethin’ wrong, Cindy?” She asked.
“Well… there’s something I’ve been thinking about,” Cindy answered.
“Oh? About what, darling?” Rarity asked.
“About this… Cozy Glow. How did you ponies know her?”
The Mane Six, Spike and Starlight Glimmer looked toward each other in concern, at first unsure how to respond. Then Twilight Sparkle, deciding to answer, turned back toward Cindy.
“The truth is Cindy,” Twilight began. “There was a time that Cozy Glow… was a friend back in the day.”
“You mean you ‘did’ call her a ‘friend’?”
“Once,” Fluttershy admitted. “She was the sweetest little Pegasus filly we’ve ever met. She was a student in the School of Friendship.”
“Then one day…” Rainbow paused, nudging her mare-friend. “You tell her, A.J.”
Applejack glared at Rainbow for a moment but proceeded anyway.
“Right…” Applejack spoke, through gritted teeth. “The magic of Equestria was about to disappear for three days. We thought Tirek was behind it all, so we went to Tartarus to ask him some questions.”
“But it was all a trick and… A TRAP!!!” Pinkie said, loudly and dramatically.
Pinkie’s loud scream disturbed all the Who citizens, causing some of them to drop their presents on the ground. They all glared at Pinkie for a few seconds.
“Heh-heh, sorry…” Pinkie squeaked nervously.
“Then what?” Cindy Lou asked.
“We learned from Tirek it was actually Cozy Glow behind the magic’s disappearance the whole time,” Twilight continued. “It was she who trapped us in Tartarus just to get us out of the way…”
“That’s just what I said,” Pinkie said. “A TRAP!!!”
Once again, Pinkie’s loud scream disturbed the Who citizens nearby, one of whom slipped off a ladder trying to hang a wreath and was holding onto it for dear life.
“I’m done…” Pinkie smiled.
“Do you two deal with these type of shenanigans daily?”
“Welcome to our world…”
“But we love it, or we wouldn’t be here.”
“I’ll never forget that day,” Starlight reminisced. “Cozy Glow trapped me inside the orb containing all the magic she drained from Equestria. It was the scariest day of my life.”
“Oh my!” Cindy gasped. “And then what happened?”
“Thankfully, our students managed to stop Cozy Glow’s plan by removing the artifacts needed for the ritual. And shortly after, all the magic was restored in Equestria.”
“That’s a very interesting story… but it’s also a bit upsetting to have a ‘friend’ turn on you guys like that.”
“It was,” Rarity nodded. “But at least we still have each other.”
“This is why we ‘need’ to find Cozy Glow and now,” Fluttershy added.
“Right!” Spike agreed. “We may not know what she’s planning, but we need to keep an eye out for her.”
Continuing on throughout the streets, Lou seemed utterly giddy. Especially considering he was in horrible debt.
“Boy nothing beats Christmas huh?” He asked happily.
“I guess,” Cindy spoke, rather unenthusiastically.
“You guess?”
“Well, it’s just, I look around at you and Mom and everyone getting all kerbobbled. Doesn’t this seem… superfluous?”
“Well any more commercial around here, and some kid will start asking for real estate instead of toys or clothes,” Pinkie replied. “Next thing you know some dog will be decorating their house just to win a ‘Lights and Display’ contest or even a kid will write a letter to Santa just for tens and twenties~”
“Tens and twenties of what, darling?” Rarity asked.
“Exactly!”
“DAD! DAD!”
All of a sudden, the group turned toward the side as a group of Who’s trudged their way down the street. Before their very eyes, it was the very same ‘Whovenile Delinquents’ who had climbed Mt. Crumpit. Only now, the boys and their girlfriends were completely frozen in ice, as stiff as boards. So much so the boys could barely approach their own father, Lou Who.
“Whoa!” Rainbow gasped, wide-eyed. “They look like they just barely walked off a ski incident unscathed!”
“What happened to you?” Lou asked, concerned.
“It was… the Grinch!” Stu cried.
Then everything happened all at once. No sooner did Stu mention the beast’s name that all the cars bumped right into each other and the Christmas music playing over the loudspeakers screeched to a complete halt. All the Who’s bumped into each other, scattering presents all across the street and they all turned toward the teens in fear.
“Grinch?” The Who’s asked.
“What do you want?” Grinch asked.
Reacting quickly, Cozy Glow nudged her disguised cohort’s leg with a hoof and waved the other below her head not wanting to blow their cover.
“I mean… ‘Grinch? Oh, no!’” Grinch feigned fear.
“Not the Grinch!” Cozy cried dramatically, clutching his leg. “Save me Daddy! Don’t let the mean, stinky old Grinch eat me! Save me!”
“You’re really pushing it this time…” Grinch muttered.
Regardless, the pair quickly ducked aside to avoid the crowds. And just in time, for just emerging from one of the buildings, a rather pompous, well-dressed Who came to investigate all the commotion. This rather important Who figure, dressed in a fancy suit, was none other than May-Who, the mayor of Whoville himself… along with his sycophantic aide and servant, Whobris.
“Did someone just say… ‘Grinch’?” The Mayor asked.
The group turned toward the Who in question and instantly Lou seemed slightly nervous before his presence.
“Hello Mayor May-Who sir,” Lou greeted timidly.
Seeing a familiar face along the crowd, the Mayor rolled his eyes and ushered the postman Who toward him with a single finger. Lou quickly approached the Mayor, who wrapped an arm over his shoulder.
“Lou…” The Mayor spoke. “I don’t need to remind you that this Christmas marks the one thousandth Whobilation~”
“Whoville’s most important celebration!” Whobris emphasized.
“And the book of Who” The Mayor continued, pulling out a large book. “Says very clearly, ‘Every size of Who we can measure knows that Whobilation is a time we must treasure!’. Now Lou, please tell me that your boys were not up on Mount Crumpit provoking the one creature within a billion bilometers of here who hates Christmas!”
“But it was the Grinch!” The boys argued.
The boys were about to argue further, when Lou quickly approached his sons and covered their mouths just before they could stir any further commotion.
“No, sir, the boys didn’t see any Grinch,” Lou reassured.
“It was, and he came after..” The boys continued.
“I think they were up on the mountain playing with matches,” Lou interrupted, smiling nervously. “Or defacing public property, or…”
“Making their way to lover’s lookout?” Pinkie added.
All the Who’s quickly turned toward the talking Pink pony, gawking over the idea. Pinkie merely looked back toward the group not seeing the reason for their expressions.
“What? It’s where I would go with my husband!”
Among the Who’s looking toward the talking pony, the Mayor eyed her and her group of friends rather suspiciously. He had not seen talking ponies of their nature before, and they certainly were complete strangers in their town. But not wanting to cause too big a scene, at least not for the moment, the Mayor smiled with satisfaction over their answers to the boys ‘activities’… and ‘not’ what he suspected they were referring to.
“That’s a relief,” The Mayor sighed, calling out. “All right, you heard the man: There is no Grinch problem here!”
Everyone sighed in relief and the Who’s went on with their daily business. Just then, a giant spitball came from nowhere and nailed the Mayor right upside the head, much to his confusion. Lou started to pick up the Christmas presents, with some of the ponies helping him out. And yet one of the ponies, Fluttershy, turned toward Cindy Lou.
“Cindy… what’s a Grinch?” Fluttershy asked nervously.
“I… don’t know,” Cindy admitted.
She then proceeded to approach her father, hoping he knew the answer.
“Dad, who’s the Grinch?” She asked innocently.
“Oh honey, you don’t need to worry about that,” Lou said, dodging the question. “Miss Twilight, I’ve got to get to work. Could you and your friends make sure Cindy Lou gets to school?”
“Well, sure we could…” Twilight answered. “But, what about—”
“School—go on now.”
And just like that, Lou took off before either of the group could ask any further questions. The Equestrians found themselves in a bigger mystery than they were before. It wasn’t enough that Cozy Glow was somewhere in this peaceful town, running amok and causing trouble. Now it seemed this town was in fear of a fiercely, scary monster whom a group of boys claimed to have seen. They had no idea what this ‘Grinch’ was capable of or how dangerous this creature could be. But still, if this beast should get in their way of finding Cozy Glow and putting the spirit of Christmas at risk…
Celestia help us…
Hey!
Wait for me!
I've notice that store scene was from the 2018 version of the Grinch. Also I never liked the mayor, the way he was treating the Grinch was just sad.
Well, we meet the big jerk Mayor. I betcha no one would be happy when they find out his actions.
I liked that lover's lookout bit; quite funny and very possible with how those two Who Boys trying to impress some ladies with their antics.

Take your time. No need to rush.
Yikes, I remember that too well. Talk about bad breath.
Loving it s far
Oh boy, the sled is going DOWNHILL from here....
(It came with 5 sheets) Here are the sheets, the original I hid it, I'll tell you when our friends return from the adventure
Okay, I'm just gonna say it. Rarity + shopping = bat shit crazy spender.
And oh boy, the Grinch and Cozy is in town.
But so far this is getting good.
But according to the previous comment I agree with Discord that skinned rat with wings deserves a punishment
Think Cindy will question Cozy? Reason; out of everyone in Whoville, she is the only one whose smart and doesn't believe what others say about another without knowing why.
Here are some visual gags the Grinch pulls off screen:
11073997
we'll find out later on, dude. but the holidays is usually the time to make peace
11074099
Me: well shit.(then try to shoot it with a powerful stream of water)
Humor's spot on. Sorry, only got so much to comment on this time, but otherwise all's good
11074119
Me:"ok who was just screaming like a little girl"?.
Oh Cozy and the Grinch are already causing trouble. And it's sad the girls and Spike seeing the Whos treating Christmas like it's all about commercialism and sales which probably a lot of others in Equestria treat Hearthswarming Eve like Flim and Flam. But now the Equestrians are interested in knowing about who this Grinch is, and will without a doubt have a close encounter with him
11074153
Possible chapter: "The Mane 6 meet the Grinch"
A very enjoyable series.
FYI - small little typo:
Should be jar.
Nice job! And-
Peanuts reference spotted!
Bad Grinch, go away! Fabulous chapter, so many laughs XD
11074111
Tech:"Shadow, got a camera feed for ya, linking with your helmet now".
Me:"okay, wait, Berial, what's he doing here"(takes a closer look and saw the game case)" he must came outta my game, I must let pizza know, Pizza, come in, over".
11074214
me: (as i dodge a sword strike) yeah what's up.
11073630
I already have them here, have the 5 copies, the others I hid in the castle of the two sisters and I will tell you where I left the original until it is safe, you never know what else that winged rat brought.
11074224
Me:(walkie talkie)" he came for the game case you guy found, weaken him enough to open the case to sent him back in it".
Hey, don't be dissing the rhymes! It's what makes a Seuss story a Seuss story!!!
11074230
me: okay but we really need a powerful weapon to weaken him with in order to do that.
Pretty funny so far. Also, Rarity is being consumed by the commercialization of Christmas. How will they cure her of that?
11074238
Me:" pizza, I just sent the rail gun rifle, two powerful shots will do it".
11074272
me: okay sounds good.( as I then grab the rail gun and get ready to aim and fire it)
What an honor for putting the dialogue that I wrote for when the Mane Six, Spike and Starlight Glimmer talk to Cindy Lou Who about Cozy Glow. And the funny part is when Pinkie's loud scream disturbs the Who citizens two times.
“Okay man, no offense or anything, but does ‘everything’ you say have to rhyme?”
I'm sure Zecora would love to hear that.
“Why would ‘shoes’ affect the way you feel about something? I never got that—”
Love the small Nostalgia Critic reference...
Wasn't this something the Grinch did in the movie? To be honest. I was kind of hoping Cozy Glow to adopt a more unique role in this story.
Perhaps being a foil to Cindy Lou's eventual attempts to get the Grinch to appreciate Christmas? Hence the half joking, half serious suggestion, of a cute off that I mentioned earlier.
It's fine if she's basically a support Grinch, but I wouldn't mind knowing sooner in order to temper my expectations. I wouldn't mind a PM on the subject, if you get around to reading this.
"A horrendous death trap, where poor leadership and administration skills almost got our students killed multiple times!"
"Don't forget all the infighting and bickering darling." "Not to mention modeling all sorts of toxic behavior, like jealousy towards each other, and outright disdain towards loved ones," "or emotionally traumatizing our students,"
"don't forget excusing the actions of a bonified terrorist because we couldn't get ride of him any other way," "all so that i could feed my own ego on a international stage, by fulfilling a role I was clearly not ready for emotionally or mentally!" "Plus nearly getting our students killed several times! Did we already mention that?"
"I'm starting to see why this didn't go so well for you."
This is a brilliant, perfectly Cozy Glow moment. I love it.
Sad thing is, this version is proberbly a lot more dangerous than then the usual MLP villain.
11073946
I'd like for the Girls or just Starlight to confront him on that at the end.
The Mane 6 (Rarity too?), Spike and Starlight are already beginning to realize that the Who care more about the material than the familiar at the Christmas party. Good that Cindy thinks the same . They also meet May-Who, the oldest of Whoville, who doesn't seem to like ponies (an indication of what kind of character he will be in this adventure ).
It is here when, in addition to meeting Cindy's siblings, The Equestrians hear about The Grinch for the first time. Little do they know that their fear has already come true, because that monster is already in the city, and he isn't alone. For the moment, the dúo are doing just harmless jokes, but with Cozy Glow things will get dangerous at any moment .
* I caught the nod to the 2018 version of The Grinch that you have put in the chapter. As for the narrator speaking in rhymes, he and Zecora would certainly get along very well .
Sorry that it’s taking me so long. Today is another of those days.
But here’s a shortie to pass the time.
Inside Princess Twilight’s Castle
In the kitchen, Flurry Heart, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor were hard at work, baking some Hearths Warming Cookies, Cupcakes, preparing the famous Chancellor Puddinghead’s Pudding.
Flurry Heart: “Just do what Aunt Pinkie taught me!”
(Singing)
All you have to do is take a cup of flour!
Add it to the mix!
Now just take a little something sweet, not sour!
A bit of salt, just a pinch!
Baking these treats is such a cinch!
Add a teaspoon of vanilla!
Add a little more, and you count to four,
And you never get your fill of...
Cupcakes! So sweet and tasty!
Cupcakes! Don't be too hasty!
Cupcakes! Cupcakes, cupcakes, CUPCAKES!
Shining Armor: “Atta girl, Flurry!” (To Cadence) “How is the dough coming, dear?”
Princess Cadence: “It’s coming along just fine, honey!” (Sneaks a few licks) “Mmmm! I love me some raw cookie dough.”
Flurry Heart: “Mom! You’re going to get diarrhea if you eat that!”
Grubber: (Pops out of nowhere) “Did somebody say cookie dough?!” (Sees the batter) GASPS “COOKIE!!!!”
Flurry Heart: “AHH!!!” (Protects the cookie dough) “No Grubber! No! Bad honey badger!” (Sternly) “Grubber!”
Grubber: “Aw, c’mon. Let me jus have one lick?”
Tempest Shadow: (Walks in) “And by one lick, he means engorging himself with the whole bowl...”
Flurry Heart: “Yeah. Well, I wasn’t born yesterday, Grubber! This cookie dough is going to be baked in the oven, and it’s for every pony and creatures! Not for naughty gluttonous hedgehog like you!”
Grubber: (Feigns shock) “I’m offended! I diet, and I exercise…just not recently.”
11074499
Love the SpongeBob Christmas Who reference.
Owlicious: Who?
Nice try, owl boy.
11074511
Yup.
11074274
Berial:(demoniac voice)"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"(jumps back for blast and screaming cuz he got hit)"how can a human hurt me, wait, what's that smell"(smelled the air and his went like this,😨, he know that scent)" so he here, that make sense, well mortals you may weaken me, but you haven't defeated yet, so long the hellgates are in this world, I can't go back to that world, for now, you earn your life to live, for now, I'll take my leave"( gather the flames around him and turn into a small ball of light and disappear).
Wrecker:" hey, where he go"?.
Captain Rex:"Never mind him, let's get the lasts of the flames here and ask shadow what nexts"?.
11074555
me: um i don't like what he just said but yeah let's clear out this fire. ( as i put the rail gun away)
11074284
Congrats to you! It’s always a honor to see a scene written by fellow fans ti be put in
It does not take long for hijinx to ensue in a town thriving on the Christmas season. As if it wasn't enough for the group to seek Cozy Glow or keep Rarity from going crazy with all the insane deals, now they are suddenly aware of the fact that this town is in great fear of a beast known as 'The Grinch'. They have no idea what this Grinch is capable of, what dangers it offers, or how the experience with this creature will feel. They don't even know that Cozy already met with the Grinch, and thus far they've been pulling some pretty mean tricks on the town (Luckily no one got seriously hurt). I doubt that the Grinch sees this as a budding friendship, but knowing Cozy Glow if she's looking for a new friend with a common interest in pulling some pretty nasty pranks... she foound one... or at least someone she can eventually exploit for her own gain. Least no matter what she does, all the blame will be entirely on the Grinch and none will be the wiser (Least not for the biggest ones).

Typical Grubber.

Sunset Shimmer: (Laughing) "It's so great to see you all again, everyone!"
Bugs Bunny: "Aw, I love a heartfelt reunion." (Sunset Shimmer looks up and noticed Bugs Bunny) "Eh, what's up Doc?"
Sunset Shimmer: "AAAAAHH!!!" (Stumbles out of the hug) "W-W-What the..."
Sci-Fi Twi: "Oh yeah. Sunset. Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny. Sunset Shimmer."
Sunset Shimmer: "Oh!" (Stammering) "I-I-I'm not crazy. Th-Th-There really is a....He-hey!"
Bugs Bunny: "Hey! You're the Sunset girl that everyone told me about! You even dressed up as my favorite vegetable on a Christmas photoshoot!"
Sunset Shimmer: (Hyperventilating) "This...This is...Bugs Bunny knows who I am?"

Sunset Shimmer: "Omigosh! I can't believe this is happening! I'm-I'm talking to...to Looney Tunes? Real, living, cartoon characters of pop cultures?! Who do I meet next? Porky? Or..." (Notices someone is missing) "Hey! Where's Pinkie?"
Meeanwhile, with EqG Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig
Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig are currently driving down the road, on their way to meet Pinkie's friend, Minty, on a mission to repair, or improve, Pinkie Pie's ruined candy cane. Currently, Pinkie Pie is singing while driving.
Pinkie Pie: (Singing) Four pink balloons
Three cupcakes
Two party cannons
And a big bowl of ravioliiiii!
WHEE!!!
Porky Pig: "M-M-M-My! You've got quite the p-p-p-p–Nice pipes."
EqG Pinkie Pie: "It's a talent! Even when I was just 1 years old, my mommy said I was always singing in the shower. And I love to sing, even when I'm not taking a shower!"
Porky Pig: "Eh, P-P-P-P-PINKIE! L-L-L-Look out! Th–Th-Th-There's a crack in the road!"
EqG Pinkie Pie: "What? Where? I don't want to hurt my mama's back!"
Unfortunately, EqG Pinkie Pie failed to see the crack in the road and ended up swerving out of control.
EqG Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Suddenly, time came to a stop, when EqG Pinkie Pie breaks the fourth wall, with Porky Pig, as they look to the readers.
EqG Pinkie Pie: "While we wait for the car to stop spinning, let's see what Princess Twilight and her friends are up to."
Gilda: "HEY WHO'S!"

Gilda: "THEM you stupid bird!"
Captain Celaeno: (Offended) "Hey!"

Owlowiscious: "Who?"

Bugs Bunny: "Doesn't make it less painful, now does it?" (To EqG Fluttershy and Sunset) "You would not believe how many tried to kill me for my lucky rabbit foot. And they say..." (Enlarged himself and talks like Elmer Fudd) "'well you still have one mowe, wabbit!'" (Changed himself back to normal) "Uh-uh. That does not make me feel better..."
EqG Fluttershy: "Goodness!" (Shuddering) "That would really hurt..."
Sunset Shimmer: "I doubt anyone is a big fan of getting their limbs chopped off..."
Me: "That little filly is definitely on the top of Santa's naughty list..."
Equestria Girls
Speedy Gonzales: "Something is not right about that little girl..."
Lemon Zest: "It could be worse. She could eat a jar of pickles, then regurgitate it, and then put it back in someone else's shopping bag."
Sour Sweet: "EW! How could you think like that, Lemon?"
Lemon Zest: "What? I've seen it in a movie before."
EqG Apple Bloom: "What movie?"
Lemon Zest: "It was in the 2018 remake of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch."

Warning
: Me being salty...
Me: "OH FOR FU–FAUST SAKE! You would think, Spike being grown up means he's above this. But oh NOOOO!!!! RARITY had to make him an even bigger stooge!"
Random brony: "Whoa-ho! Someone's getting a little heated..."
Another random brony: "He's still a little salty after the...Phantom of the Opera Cinematic Adventure?"
Random brony: "C'mon, Doc! Give it a rest. We're upset too that the Sparity ship sunk in the CA series. But you don't see us complaining about it 24/7, do you?"
Me: "Spike deserves better! I'm fine with Rarity being married to Erik, and Spike moving on. But c'mon, it's been what? 11 years or so, and...and what? Spike is still single? And he's still Rarity's favorite errand boy? What? Did she like sabotaged some of Spike's dates or something, like she did with him and Gabby?"
Sweetie Belle: (Rolls her eyes) "Why am I not surprised?"
Equestria Girls
EqG Rarity: (To her pony counterpart) "You always have to hurt the ones you love most...me!"
Sunset Shimmer: "Oh, Rarity." (Shakes her head in shame)
Daffy Duck: "You're despicable..."
Warning
: Me still being salty...
Me: "Rarity, Rarity, Rarity. I have to say. After 9 years of joining the brony herd, and contributing so much to the fandom, showing my support for the series, and the next generation, 1 year later, or so in the real world. I have to say...the relationship between you and Spike is far, far, FAR from what I had anticipated."
"I can't say I'm disappointed. But I also can't say I'm glad either. There was hardly a closure. And besides the two of you being good friends, like 'Oh, Spike! Want to go with me to the gem caves?' or 'Hello Spike! I've got tickets to Power Pony Palooza! Want to be a nerd with me?' or 'Oh, Spikey-Wikey! Thank you for this gem! Mwah!' Let me tell you something. I. DO. NOT. APPRECIATE YOU DRIVING A WEDGE BETWEEN SPIKE AND A NEW GIRL HE'S BEFRIENDING, JUST SO YOU CAN CONTINUE TO EXPLOIT HIS SERVICE and his affection! It's over."
Me: "Okay. Mental battle over. I'm calm now."
Equestria Girls
Sunset Shimmer: "Yeah, I'd like to know the story about her as well."
Bugs Bunny: (To Sunset Shimmer) "Ya mean, you don't know her?"
Sunset Shimmer: "No. Can't say that I have for that long...then again, I might've been out of loop from Equestria, way too long..."
Future G5
Sunny Starscout: "I'd like to know this story as well."
Apple Bloom: (On behalf of the CMCs) "We all did..."

A crashing sound was heard, followed by a random pony screaming.
*CRASH*
Wihelm scream SFX
All Theater(s)
A random pony was passing through Ponyville's center, when he was startled by Pinkie Pie's shout, that he slipped on some frozen puddle.
Random pony: "OW! My spine!"

Sunset Shimmer: "Yikes."
Bugs Bunny: "Yipe!"

Sheriff Hitch: (To the movie projection) "So...what happened?"
Anakin Skywalker: "And by students...I take she means, you six?" (Looks at the Student Six)
Sandbar: "You better believe it, Mister Anakin!"
Smolder: "All in a day's work."
Gallus: "Learning friendship."
Silverstream: "And being heroes!"
Anakin Skywalker: "Hmmm. Impressive! Most impressive." (Looks at Luna and Storm Shield)
Princess Luna: "Indeed."
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Yaks: "YAKS BEST! YAKS BEST! YAKS BEST!"
Future G5
Izzy Moonbow: (Agreeing with the holographic projected audience) "Yaks best! YAKS BEST!!!"
Sunny Starscout: "Sounds like a happy ending..."
Scootaloo: "Don't have to tell us twice..." (Shares her condolences with the entire CMCs present)
Even in death, Anakin Skywalker looks deeply ashamed of himself, with his past as Darth Vader haunting him, with Princess Luna sympathizing, knowing the feeling too well, recalling her days and nights of imprisonment as Nightmare Moon. Storm Shield went over and wrapped his hoof around Luna in a forgiving hug. Anakin wanted in on the feeling, but...being a ghost, he...well, y'know...
Equestria Girls
In the movie theater, Sunset Shimmer covered her eyes and cried into her hands, remembering how she too acted the same way, towards Princess Twilight and friends, in the Galaxy. It still haunts her to know for a fact that she was easily duped into turning to the Dark Side, believing that her friends had abandoned her.
The five Rainbooms present, and their friends all crowded around Sunset, hugging her for comfort. Bugs Bunny handed the fiery girl a handkerchief to dry her eyes and blow her nose in.
Sunset Shimmer: (Taking the tissue) "Thank you."
Scootaloo: "At least someone's in a good mood..."

Owlowiscious: "Who?"

Garble: "Who's that weirdo?"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
The Audience: (Annoyed) "THE MAYOR!"
Gilda: "Whoba-What now?"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
Gilda: (To Owlowiscious) "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!"

Mina: (To me) "Oh! Like you weren't thinking of doing the same with Rain Shine, Doc?"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
Bat: "Where?"
Me: (Annoyed) "Ugh! It was enough for everyone to mistake me for a doctor – WHICH I'M NOT – for a running gag. And now this?"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
Pharynx: "THE GRINCH!"
Owlowiscious: "Who?"
Smolder: (To Owlowiscious) "THE GREEN MONSTER WHO IS NOW IN CAHOOTS WITH COZY!"
Princess Celestia: "Be strong my little ponies...and friends."
Equestria Girls
Sunset Shimmer: "May the Force be with them..."
EqG Rainbow Dash: "Speaking of which." (To Sunset) "I'm always happy to see you, but what's the occasion? Back in time to celebrate Christmas, Sunset?"
Sunset Shimmer: "It's like I said before! I felt the will of the Force and sensed trouble, back in Equestria. Like millions of lightyears away from the Galaxy!"
EqG Applejack: "Then, why are you here instead of...Equestria?"
Sunset Shimmer: "By the time I got back to Ponyville, I was too late. Cozy Glow had burned down Discord's Theater and...well, you saw where she escaped to, with Twilight and friends giving chase!"
Wallflower Blush: "Yikes."
Juniper Montage: "I'm one for sabotages and all, but something like arson...that's messed up!"
Sci-Fi Twi: "Getting back on topic..." (To Sunset Shimmer) "If you're here, then I take it means..."
Sunset Shimmer: "I knew if Cozy Glow was targeting Discord's Theater, then some of her fellow villains might also be planning to attack this theater and all of you as well! So I've come here to defend you guys, should the need arise."
Sunny Flare: (To Sunset) "Lovely."
Bugs Bunny: (Munching on a carrot) "Mmm-hmmm. Someone ought to award you a medal. Traveling across billions of light years from a galaxy far, far away, just to save your friends. Quite the commitment."
Sunset Shimmer: (Blushes) "Comes with the territory of being a Jedi, perhaps." (Looks down in worry) "I just hope I can deliver and make up for all those times I...you know."
EqG Rarity: "Don't worry darling! No matter what happens, no matter how bad things may be, we'll always be okay! And we've forgiven you for your past...boo-boos."
EqG Rainbow Dash: "YEAH! If those stinking Dazzlings think they can try and steal you and turn you over to the Dark Side again, let 'em try! We'll be ready for them!"
EqG Scootaloo: (To EqG Rainbow Dash) "Got room for one more?"
Flash Sentry: "Count us in!"
With that, all the Rainbooms' friends, present in the theater, voiced their agreements and their supports for Sunset Shimmer. This made Sunset Shimmer feel at ease. Just a little. Her friends are her life. They're her treasures. But as part of the Jedi Code, her attachment to her friends make her vulnerable to the Dark Side. This worries Sunset, at the possibility of history repeating itself for her. But then again, the destructions of her friends is another.
Speaking of whom...
Meanwhile, with EqG Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig
EqG Pinkie Pie: "WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Raise your arms, Porky! It's a lot more fun when you raised your arms like this!"
EqG Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
The car, EqG Pinkie Pie and Porky Pig were driving in, was still spinning and sliding on black ice, before it bounced off the road, rolls downhill, and landed in a bank of snow.
EqG Pinkie Pie: "I can't believe we survived that horrifying car accident without a scratch!"
Porky Pig: "Sp-S-Sp-Speak for your-for your-for yourself."
EqG Pinkie Pie: GASPS "My candy cane!" (Picks up shattered remains of her candy cane masterpiece) "Well, it's still salvageable. I can still make it to Minty and fix it up."
Porky Pig: (Shivering) "H-H-H-How f-f-f-far is it now, P-P-P-Pinkie?"
EqG Pinkie Pie: (Points to a sign) "Not too far now. Just a hop and a skip away!" (Shivering) "Brrrr! It's cold out here!" (Breaks the fourth wall) "Why don't you lovely readers at home go make a nice hot cup of cocoa, while Porky and I build a fire."
Production 3
The film was shot between September 1999 and January 2000 with Geisel visiting the set in October. Much of the Whoville set was constructed on the backlot of Universal Studios behind the Bates Motel set from Psycho.
Rick Baker was hired to design and create the film's prosthetic makeup for Carrey and the rest of the cast. It took a number of tests, and ultimately Carrey admiring a photo of Baker in his first test makeup, for the decision to use Baker's original makeup design.

The Grinch suit was covered in yak hair, dyed green and sewed onto a spandex suit. The application of the makeup took up to 2 and a half hours, after which a frustrated Carrey kicked a hole in the wall of his trailer.
Kazu Hiro left production until Baker and Howard had a discussion with Carrey on how important Hiro was to the production. Carrey agreed to keep his anger in check and Hiro returned to his role.
Meanwhile, Josh Ryan Evans, who played the 8-year old Grinch, wore the same style of makeup and bodysuit that Carrey wore. In total, Carrey spent 92 days in the Grinch makeup and became adept at remaining calm while sitting in the makeup chair. Most of the appliances the actors wore were noses that connected to an upper lip along with a few dentures, ears and wigs.
To create and show how the Who's moved, the crew enlisted people of Cirque du Soleil to develop how the characters would do it as it were in the book's pages.

If your going to do that Gag, mind adding this cute little creature.

As for why this creature, I say WHYNAUT!?

I want to say yes but will Cozy accept peace after Fluttershy's friend Discord used and manipulate her along with Chrysalis and Tirek as stepping stones for Twilight to rule Equestria and turned them to stone to get away with his crimes? It's a near impossible slim chance of her showing forgiveness to Twilight and her friends after they let Celestia, Luna and Discord put them in a cave when they're were still statues
