Quackity X Onceler

Confrontation

Okay, so maybe the idea was pretty farfetched.

Quackity was awoken by his brother angrily kicking him. "Why did you do that?!" He questioned.

"Do what?" Quackity mumbled, wanting to go back to bed.

"Why did you save the- the Onceler?!"

Early in the morning, the Lorax had checked the tent to make sure that the Onceler wasn't in there. Of course he wouldn't be. He was in a river, probably miles away by now. But still, he had to check. He was incredibly surprised to find the Onceler asleep on the floor, soaking wet. So the Lorax had woken him up and demanded to know what had happened.

"How did you get out of the river?!" He had asked.

"Your brother felt bad for almost killing me, I guess. Now let me sleep."

The Lorax had sighed in frustration. "You were supposed to leave here!"

"What?" The Onceler had asked alertly.

"We needed you to stop chopping down the trees!"

"What do you mean we?"

"Me, Quackity, and the little bears." The Lorax had quickly explained.

The Oncelers eyes had shot open. "So, it wasn't just Quackity who put me in the water? You helped?"

"Yeah, but he wasn't supposed to save you!"

The Onceler had looked off to the side in thought, and then after the Lorax had left, he had gone back to bed.

So now Quackity had to deal with his brother. The Lorax angrily yelled at him, saying things like, "we could've gotten rid of him! He could've found some nice oak trees for his little invention instead, but nooooo, you had to be all good and save him!"

"I'm sorry, okay, but there was a waterfall, and I don't think killing people because they're using a few trees to make inventions is a very good thing to do. I think it's quite amazing, actually."

The Lorax grumbled and walked off, leaving Quackity to fall back asleep. He dreamt about the Onceler.

He awoke to see the Onceler, which made him jump. The man was standing right there, above Quackity, like he had been last night. Except, instead of anger on his face, it seemed neutral. Maybe even a little sad. He smiled softly. "Hey," the Onceler said, "can we talk?"
