THE ONCELERS POV
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed
I had a wonderful sleep, but the orange creature kept appearing in my dreams and now he was here as I woke up too.
I had opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was his furry yellow moustache, I must've put my arm around his body while I was asleep because it looked like we were cuddling
My screaming woke him up and he started screaming too and punched me in the face like it was MY fault
"What are YOU doing here?!?" I said annoyed, moving myself away from him
"Uhm well.." I could tell he was thinking of an excuse to tell me, I wasn't going to fall for any of his crap
"The lightning was very bad last night so I decided to spend the night here, no harm done!"
"NO HARM DONE?!?! OKAY..." I said, annoyed. I didn't know how many diseases this creature had but I didn't want to find out the hard way.
THE LORAXES POV
"Sooooo... tell me about yourself." I said, sitting on the edge of his bed. I could tell he was trying to stay as far away from me as possible and I wanted to ease the tension.
He yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "The names The Once-ler, what about you?"
That was a strange name, his parents obviously hated him but then I remember what my name was and sighed.
"My name is the Lorax, I speak for the trees. I feel like we should get to know each other because I'll be staying here for a while.." I spoke, he was still distancing himself from me which made me feel slightly upset but I shrugged that feeling off. Why do I care about what he feels for me anyway? I'm only staying here to keep an eye on him, I cant have him chopping anymore trees.
THE ONCELERS POV
I looked him up and down and shrugged. I mean.. what harm could he do? It would be nice to have company out here anyways so we might as well get along.
"Well... what do you want to know about me?" I ask, curiously.
"Why are you called the Once-ler? That name is actually dog shit" He said
I didn't know if he was being serious or not but I started tearing up anyways... I've always been bullied for my dog shit name.. especially by my mother even though she's the one who cursed me with this name...
Buckle up fellas.. its time for my sad backstory!
Ever since I was a kid I was treated differently to my other siblings. My dad left for the milk as soon as my mother announced her pregnancy.. I think that's why she hates me so much. My entire life I've lived with my mother, aunt, uncle and two annoying brothers Brett and Chet. I'm so glad I'm finally away from them! But... I can't just live here peacefully. I have to make them proud, they are all I have after all. If my thneed becomes successful, maybe my mother will love me...?
I felt myself tearing up and I covered my face with my sleeve to stop The Lorax from seeing. I ran out of the house sobbing.
