The Onceler's mom came in and I saw him switch in front of me. He took him mom to another corner of the room and she whispered something to him. They talked for a moment and him mom showed him a tablet with some number on in it.

Then she yelled, "We did it, we own every company in the area."

The Onceler smiled in a different way. It wasn't his normal smile. Then he looked at the Lorax. He almost stopped smiling looking at me, then just walked towards the Lorax.

"Listen, Moustache, if you have a problem, with what I'm doing, then why don't you use your quote unquote 'powers' to stop me?" He began to yell at the Lorax, and backing him out of the room and down the steps off his balcony, as his uncle ran into the room.

"Isabella! The last tree! It's about to be cut!"

"Oh no," I thought.

I ran down the steps to warn them, just as I heard the echoing noise of a tree falling. The Lorax sadly looked the landscape.

I did too.

It was all dark and smoggy. This was awful. I coughed. It was unbreathable outside. Isabella and the other family members already got the RV and pulled up beside the Onceler.

"Son," Isabella said, "You have let me down" she yelled. She shook her head. Then she looked away. I couldn't hear her anymore and walked to the Onceler. Isabella drove away before I could say anything.

The Lorax looked sadly at the Onceler.

"Goodbye," He said.

"Goodbye?" The Onceler repeated.

"This land is unlivable. They can't live here." The Babaloots and Swammes and everyone sadly walked up the hill. No one looked back.

The Lorax stood on a stone marker. "Unless" was written. And by the seat of his pants, he flew into the sky.

We watched him and I coughed again. The Onceler looked at me.

"We can't live here," I said. "Thneedville is our only option."

"No," Said the Onceler. It's all my fault. I don't want to leave this place. Not until I can think of what to do to fix this."

"I'll help you," I said.

"Really?"

"Yeah you're my boyfriend!"

"Yeah though after all this? I'm a greedy millionaire. I only care about myself."

"No. You aren't like those people. You didn't do all this for money or power. You did this for your family. And they never thanked you. Don't you understand? You're going to fix this. And I'll help you. As your financial advisor. I can spend money on fixing this. We're going to need it. A lot of it. And luckily, we have it."
