Shallow Fate

Introduction

     Once-ler's POV:

     I can't believe my family sometimes! They think I'm useless, like I can't make something out of my life. But I can. That's why I'm leaving and finding the perfect material for my thneed. An invention that could do the job of a thousand! That'll show them! "Come on Melvin! Let's go. I'm bored Have you ever thought really hard about boredom? Hey Melvin look, I'm playing my guitar upside down. Those birds are going to eat us! Then animals will take our bones, sit on them and have lovely dinners." I slowly drift off to sleep and get awakened by apparently falling off my wagon. "Melvin wait! Come back!" Luckily he listens so I try to hop back on and Melvin speeds off before I could get on. I fall off. Hitting my head on something and everything goes black.

     Meg's POV:

     Oh my gosh! That guy just fell off his wagon! That's kind of funny. I go closer to see if he's okay. Of course he hits his head on a rock and he's bleeding. God I hate blood! Luckily his donkey stopped. I think I heard him yell Melvin earlier. That's not the priority right now though. Just wandering the roads for a home I have nothing with me to help him. I jump in his wagon and find some bandages and quickly doctor him up. He finally come's to. "Hello... Who are you?..... Wh- what just h- happened?" The tall man says. "I'm Meg, and I was just walking down the road and you fell off your wagon. I came running over here, looking at you like a joke," I giggle "But then I saw you were actually hurt so I grabbed some bandages out of your wagon and doctored you up. Is that cool?" "Thanks a lot." The man says with a smile. He seems somewhat dazed. Maybe his head needs to readjust itself or something. This man is honestly adorable. Like Hello! I can feel my face blush as I think about him. He's still laying there. I finally realize his head's in my lap and that's a little awkward. He still seems so dazed. I'm a little scared. His face is flushed pink. Is he okay? I sure hope so.

     Once-ler's POV:

     I wake up to see this beautiful girl staring at me with sincere fear in her eyes. Ow my head hurts. I'm resting on her lap.. Should I move. Nah, I'll just stare back. I ask for her name and she explains to me all that happened. We stay there for a while longer just staring at each other. Me in a dazed state and her in a worried one. I finally tell her my name and finally get up. She explains she's just looking for somewhere to be because where she lived was too dangerous to stay at. "Well this is bye." Meg says doing a pitiful job at hiding her feelings. It gave me a confidence boost. "Or.... you could come with me.' "She hops right in extremely anxious to get a move on. "Lets go!"
