Y/N groaned as she got up of the soft bed, looking over to the man next to her who snored softly.

She rolls her eyes as she pushed the comforter on top of her as she made her way to the balcony, her favorite spot actually.

She yawns as she watched the sun starts to rise. She then spots the same usually orang figure next to her, "Good morning kid." The Lorax greets.

"Good morning Lorax." she beamed.

"I see how you made beanpole a bit soft, he has never smiled like that before." He said.

"what?" she questioned confused.

"I saw the two of you laughing together coming home yesterday." he said.

She cringed but then remember what happened yesterday, she smiled softly, a light pink tints her cheeks.

"yeah?" she laughs.

"Hey kid, I think you can change him" The Lorax said. "What?"

"You know convince him, to stop this madness." he points to the shattering valley.

The girl frowns. "I won't intervene with his business." she states. "What?! You're his fiancé!? Dont you like whats happening too?!" He asked.

The girl bit her bottom lip, wind blowing her hair and night gown. "I dont.." She says. "I might get into the topic about this all." She says.

"Im gonna be his wife..." She mumbles, her stomach turns as she whimpered as soon as she heard the machine which chops down the tree starts, gloomy clouds coming in, ruining the wonderful weather.

She then sighed and looked at the lorax, "i will be his wife yeah and I will get a thought in his business too but for now, I say to not intervene." She declares.

The Lorax looks at her disappointedly.

"Which way does a tree fall, kid?" he asked. The girl sighed and looked down. "A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean." he says.

"I hope you can change him, you have potential, not him changing you."

Y/N keeps remembering what The Lorax advised her. She knows how much of a dick Onceler can be, and she knows she can change him. But heres something about her, she doesnt like to intervene. If someone's being an asshole, she could not care less until it has something to do with her.

It was a bad trait surely. But it helped with her reputation.

She was never in trouble.

But what the Lorax told her, she felt that this time she needed to intervene.

She walked through the halls, making her way to the Onceler's office.

She was greeted by his two twin brothers, who didnt hesitate to open the doors for her.

She smiled at them which they returned with a toothy grin.

The door opened revealing a man in green, The Onceler, of course.

"Y/N hey." he looked up to the girl. She smiles and waved.

"what brings you here?"

"I- I dont know, I just- I think i need to discuss something with you." She starts.

The Onceler raised his eyebrows, dropping his pen and focusing on what the girl has to say.

"S-Since I'm going to be your wife i think i need to be part of this uh-" she says nervously.

why was she nervous though?

"you know i dont like what your doing to the trees??" she asked more than said.
