Y/N groaned as she pushed herself up. Rolling her eyes and groggily walking to her balcony, connected to her big office. She narrows her eyes as she observed the view, inhaling, she grinned on what she had earned from her hard work.

Y/N L/N used to be that nerd no one talked to, that weird kid that dreamed too much.

She smirked cockily now that she proved them wrong.

Owning the biggest corporation for selling the best of the best, the 'orlpo wool', weird name, but it gave her money, fame and a whole city, she laughed as she imagine about how her old bullies would react to her current state.

Orlpo wool is a wool, can be used for clothing, blankets, sheets, towel, anything imaginable, the wool taken from a rare type of sheep, with its fluff softer than the clouds. Colors to be discovered, unimaginable even, colors the Orlpo sheep fluff, that's what makes it special.

But one thing did piss her off, She has a rival. Someone with the same idea, the only difference is that it's made out of tufts from a truffula tree. Still, it boomed, it was a revolutionary cloth like hers. But these tufts were nothing like her wool.

She heard about the failing economy caused by the deforestation the man who owned the company caused to make these 'thneeds', making more people go to her wool since it's deemed to not affect such change, i mean, her company breeds and kills, not like what her rival does.

though its been tough ever since one of the workers accidentally killed the said last female sheep, making it hard for breeding, and the sheep decreasing. You cant just sheer the wool off ya see, these sheep doesn't grow such magnificent coloured wool more than once. Nature is a strange world.

y/n scoffs at the thought of the hilarious situation which is actually real.

she then starts to ponder on what new to do since everyday its the same business work and it was getting boring.

her city was growing and it warmed her heart that her greatest dream came true, the city was called the HueCity. Guessing from how colorful it is because of the wool and its the home of the rare animal, Orlpo sheep.

Her phone started to ring interrupting her thoughts, she groans and stomped to her desk picking it up with a sharp, "Hello, This is Y/N L/N of HueCity" a deep exhale, "What do you want?"

"sassy alright." a male voice, raspy as ever said in the other line. "Onceler?" She asked, her voice pitching in amusement. "You sound fucked up." she teased. He grumbled on the other line. "What brings you to call me?" Y/N said now more professional.

"I have called to invite you to a dinner with the company." He stated. "Visit Thneedville, we have things to discuss.". He added.

"Things to discuss?" she asked. "You'll come to know about the things to be discussed at dinner." He smirked.

"What are you asking for my help?" She said dumbfounding. "What?! No?!" He answered back gaining a chuckle from Y/N.

"I'll come." She said. "It was never a "are you coming question", Y/N. I'll see you this Sunday." He ended the call.

Y/N stood there, phone still in hand as she furrowed her eyebrows and pout. 'What does he want now?' she asked herself, obviously annoyed.

Last time he called was to play a stupid prank on her, and to think he owns a company and runs a city.

He was childish and it annoys her.

She was also childish, who isnt? don't get her wrong, but not that 'i-can-do-everything-im-rich' kind of childish like The Onceler though.

and to think he'd be more professional with a company biggering and biggering every second.

she rolls her eyes and slammed the phone to her desk.

she chews her bottom lip as she press the button under her desk, "Micah, were going to Thneedville this Sunday."

--

The days passed quickly and before she knows it, it was Saturday night.

She didn't know why she was nervous.

Was it because she was dreading it might be a prank? Or was it another thing?

she did not know and she didn't want to know.

does she?

she groaned, tossing and turning around.

not being able to sleep with the thoughts filling her head about what could happen tomorrow.

she groans and ignore it as she just decided she was despising going tomorrow because she'll face the annoying of the most, The Onceler.

--

The Onceler sat up in his bed, nervous to break the news to the rival tomorrow. 'A forced marriage would do us good, for the two companies, and the two city.' his mother's advice never left his thoughts.

He was nervous on how Y/N would react, with the fact the two are enemies.

He just hoped for the best tomorrow.

Surely she'd understand? She's a bit stubborn but she'll get it?? Right??

"Well? Hurry up, I don't have all day." Y/N sneered as an employee quickly brought her a cup of coffee. She took a sip, looked at the cup and shrugged, continuing to drink the warm coffee, it tasted bad from her usual, but hey, at least she still got her coffee. "Something wrong, Madam?"

"Don't refer to me as that, the coffee just needs more sugar but it's alright." She gave a small smile and quickly frowned when she spotted a black car, who was supposed to pick her up, pass and park right next to her.

The door to the back seats opened up and she got in with a scowl. "3 minutes, Carl. You could've done better." She said sarcastically to which, Carl the driver, cheekily grinned and apologized. Micah was sat in the front seat, turning their head and giving their boss who sat at the backseat a nod, gesturing if she was ready. Y/N returned the nod and they we're off.
