GRUMBLE THE MAGIC ELF

Grumble The Magic Elf

Grumble the Magic Elf is a storybook character in a fairy tale.  The fairy tale is a favorite of both Kimberly and Miss Appleby.  The fairy tale book was for sale at Angel Grove High School's book sale.  Rita overheard Kimberly telling Tommy how much she loved the book and he purchased it for her.  This gave Rita an idea - to trap them within the book.  As Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy were walking through the park, Rita's spell hit the book and they were pulled into the story.  After a few moments of bewilderment, Kimberly recognized that they were inside her book.  Rocky, Tommy, and Kimberly heard a strange voice.  Suddenly a strange creature appears, dressed in a Santa suit and with a wagon full of toys.  Kimberly recognizes Grumble the Magic Elf right away.  She introduces herself, Rocky, and Tommy.  Grumble is very grouchy.  Kimberly tells her friends that an evil magician put a spell on Grumble and turned him into a grouch.  Grumble has to deliver all the toys to the orphanage if he ever wants to be nice again.  Grumble asks if she's a gossip or something?  Kimberly replies, I've read this story a hundred times.  Grumble asks her if she wants a medal?  Grumble tells Kimberly to get out of his way.  He leaves with the wagon of toys.  Tommy thinks if they follow him, maybe they can find their way out of here.  Rocky thinks it's worth a try.  Rocky, Tommy, and Kimberly follow Grumble. Meanwhile, two teenage boys find the book and give it to Miss Appleby for the book fair.  Back inside the book, Grumble complains as he walks with his wagon of toys.  Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky race to catch up with Grumble.  Tommy tells him they need his help to get to the end of the book.  Grumble asks them if he looks like a tour guide?  He also tells them to find the end of the book themselves.  Grumble starts to walk away again, but Rocky, Kimberly, and Tommy stop him. Tommy offers to help Grumble.  Grumble scoffs at this remark.  Lord Zedd's jolt makes the Putties appear in front of the wagon.  Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky immediately get into a fight stance when they see them.  Kimberly suggests they help themselves first. But the Putties do not go after the teens.  Instead they stay around the wagon of toys.  Rocky wonders why they are not attacking.  Grumble gets upset with Zedd's  Putties and holds onto the wagon.  Tommy realizes Zedd's Putties are interested in the toys.  Kimberly concludes that if they take them, the story will never end, and we will never get out of here.  Rocky declares we got to get them back.  But it's too late as the wagon of toys and Zedd's Putties vanish.  Grumble is very upset and blames Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky for what happen.  Grumble brushes past them as he storms off.  Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky feel bad.

Inside the cave, Kimberly asks Tommy if they are going to run out of air in here?  Tommy hopes not.  Tommy suggests they check their morphers.  Rocky notes they are still frozen.  The cave begins to shake and suddenly Grumble's face appears upside down.  He asks them if they are having fun?  Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky are very happy to see Grumble.  Kimberly asks him how he got past the Snow Monster?  Grumble tells them he got caught in his own avalanche.  Are you coming or what?  Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky quickly scramble out of the cave.  Tommy thanks Grumble once they are outside the cave.  Grumble replies if he could have figure out how to get those toys, they would still be in the cave.  Tommy thinks they are going about this all wrong.  Kimberly asks, what do you mean?  Tommy replies, we're going forward in the story.  Maybe we should go back instead.  Grumble mocks the suggestion but Kimberly understands.  Kimberly explains, we should go back and find the magician that put the spell on you.  Because maybe he can lift the spell and if he can lift the spell, then that's the end of the story.  Rocky adds, it may not be the ending that was written...Grumble continues, but at least it's an ending.  Kimberly is concern about the orphans.  Tommy tells Grumble, if we can get out of here, we'll send the toys for the orphans back.  Grumble agrees, anything to get you guys out of my story.  Grumble, Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky start heading towards the beginning of the book. Soon, Grumble, Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky reached the crossroads in the storybook, but the sign is knocked down.  Kimberly urges Grumble to remember which way to Mondo the Magnificent Magician.  Grumble uses the excuse of never having gone backwards to defend that he is unsure of which way to go.  Tommy encourages Grumble to try.  Grumble stares at the two paths and debates which one to take.  Grumble finally decides on a path and the teens follow him. Kimberly, Tommy, and Rocky arrive at Mondo's place.  Grumble gets nervous and wants to leave.  Kimberly runs over to Grumble and tries to pull him over to the door.  Kimberly reminds him, he can't leave.  How else will we get your spell broken.  But Grumble decides he doesn't mind being under a spell. Rocky pulls and Kimberly pushes Grumble over to the door.  Grumble protests the entire time.  Tommy can't wait for the spell to be broken.  He has had enough of Grumble's attitude.  Tommy knocks on the door. Despite Tommy's knocking, there is no answer from Mondo.  Tommy thinks it's weird that no one is answering.  Grumble is actually relieved that no one is answering.  Suddenly there is lightening and the ground starts to shake.  Kimberly states, I really liked this story better when I wasn't in it.  Suddenly, the shaking has stopped.  They all hear Mondo's voice, which asks who dares knock on my door and disturb my beauty sleep?  Grumble, Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky gather around the door.  Mondo asks what they wanted?  Tommy tells him, we came to ask you to reverse the spell on Grumble the Elf.  Mondo replies, never!  Kimberly can't believe it, why not?  Mondo replies, because it's not in the story, that's why.  Tommy tries to persuade Mondo to let them come in and talk to him.  Mondo refuses and all goes silent.  Tommy apologizes to Grumble and Kimberly gives Grumble a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. Soon, Tommy spots the wagon full of toys and points it out to his friends.  Grumble, Rocky, and Kimberly are surprised but happy.  Tommy is eager to get the toys to the kids and pulls the wagon.  After awhile, Grumble pulls the wagon and complaining the entire time. Grumble suddenly pauses.  Rocky asks him why he is stopping?  Grumble warns them that Mondo the Magician is on this page too.  Quietly Grumble, Kimberly, Rocky, and Tommy continue on their way.  They are unaware that Mondo the Magician is hiding behind a tree.  Soon, Grumble is delivering the presents to the orphans.  Grumble gives the last toy to a young girl.  The little girl thanks Grumble, which gives Grumble a warm feeling.  Grumble decides he likes the feeling.  Rocky, Tommy, and Kimberly are happy for Grumble.  Grumble walks over to them and tells them to get out of his book.  Rocky, Tommy, and Kimberly are more than happy to leave and they are soon teleported out of the story.  Grumble has the kids gather around as he wants to tell them a story.
