Once-ler!xShort!Tempermental!Reader! The Once-ler makes his way to the valley with truffulas, barbaloots, swarmie swans, and humming fish, only to later meet a mysterious character. The Lorax, and a strange girl who is to be his bodyguard. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it completely captivates adorable Oncie. That, or it completely teriffies him, seeing as she has a bit of an issue with her anger. Oncie learns he is going to have to live with it, not that he doesn't mind, amd he feels his life is going to have drastic changes very soon. It starts out with the normal Lorax stroy, but then it turns into something I created. I do realize it says swarmie isntead of swommie swans. That's how my uncle used to say it, and my autocorrect wouldn't let me say swommie.
