Just so you know... This isn't my first fanfic, I've done couple of other pieces, but I don't have the guts to put them up in the internet.

By the way, don't trust the description for the story, yeah, its true for maybe the next three chapters, but the story isn't about this girl who meets Ted and blah blah blah... The real plot is a surprise, you'll just have to wait.

Disclaimer: I don't own all characters.

Once-ler, Ted: Dr. Seuss

Audrey, Granny Norma, Mrs. Wiggins (from the film, not originally in the story): Universal Studios

Tina: Based off from the Glee character Tina Cohen-Chang, but this is a different Tina, so she's kind of an OC. (I guess, partially owned by FOX)

Heather, Tina's mom and dad: based off of Total Drama's Heather and her parents (seen in "message from home" thing they did for some contestants and stuff). Owned by Fresh TV and Teletoon, I guess. (I'm giving credit to Cartoon Network, too)

Grandma Ling: OC :D looks a lot like Mulan when she was young, though (like in her teen and adult years).

Jake: meh... I just made him up at the moment. (OC)

Enough with the spoilers and stuff... Enjoy!~


Ted woke up to the sound of moving trucks and people chattering in the front of the house across the street, and he knew what that meant. New neighbors. New neighbors that he had to be polite enough to leave a batch of fresh cookies up on the front door, well, according to his mom, anyways. He dressed up and headed downstairs, to see his mom baking the cookies, and his grandma, just minding her own business, as usual.

"Ted, honey, I want you to be polite enough and take these cookies to the new neighbors across the street" Mrs. Wiggins said, holding up a basket of cookies. "I made them raspberry instead of chocolate chip"

"Alright mom, and I might not come back for some time, Um... Im heading to Audrey's, kay?" Ted said, with a pretty weak smile.

"Okay, but dont come back too late. And dont talk to strangers.. Oh and Ted-"

"I know, I know... I'll come back for dinner"

"Okay then, kiddo." Mrs. Wiggins said, while washing the dishes.

Like that, Ted left the house and crossed the street. The moving trucks were in front of the garage, with a bunch of boxes and modern-style furniture around them. Two men kept carrying all the stuff inside the house. Ted walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. To his surprise, the one who answered the door was a girl. No, she was not as amazing as Audrey, but at least she was close enough. She was an asian girl, as tall as Audrey is, with long, straight , black hair. She had rosy pink lips, that made up a smile. "Oh, Hello there. You must be the neighbor from across the street, right?" she asked Ted politedly. "Wha- oh yeah hehe... I'm Ted... Wiggins! Ted Wiggins... What's your name?" "Tina Ling" she replied brightly. "Would you like to hang out?" "Sure" Ted and Tina headed up to Audrey's house, where Audrey was painting drawings she sketched in her backyard. When she heard the doorbell, she ran up to answer it, and saw Ted with Tina.

"Audrey, I would like you to meet Tina. Tina, this is Audrey. She's kind of a friend of mine." "Well, hi!" Audrey said, politedly. "You're the new girl in town, right?"

"Yeah, but I havent met much people here, needless to say, you guys are the first two persons i've met here." Tina replied.

"Well, I'm sure you'd like it here." Audrey said. "So, where did you move from?"

"New York City, yes, I know, the big Apple and stuff." Tina said, like if it wasnt much of a big deal. "Y'know, the usual 'my dad got a Job transfer here' and stuff... But its nicer here, actually. Much more relaxing."

"Yeah, things are pretty nice here in Thneedville." said Audrey, smiling, while Ted was nodding his head to agree with her.

"I noticed. Its really nice to meet you, Audrey."

"It was nice to meet you too, Tina. Well, i'd better get going. I still have a lot to paint." "You do art, too?" Tina said, a wide smile spreaded on her face. "I love to paint!" "That's cool! We should plan up a day of painting or something like that!"

"Yeah yeah, we should!"

"Well, I've got to go, see ya, guys!" Audrey said, heading back to her backyard.

Both of the walked away out of Audrey's house. Ted was a bit more curious about this 'Tina' girl though...

"So... How big is your family and stuff?" asked Ted, curiously.

"Well, it's like a regular family, but the ones that moved in are both of my parents, my older sister, Heather, and my younger brother, Jake. Then, there's my grandma, Grandma Ling, of course."

"That's actually pretty big. I only live with my mom and my Granny Norma."

"Well, that's cool." Tina said, giving Ted a gentle smile. "So, ever since I've met you, I've wondered, what's with that basket you've got there?" Tina said, pointing at the basket Ted's mom gave him earlier. "Oh this? I totally forgot to give it to you, there's just some cookies my mom made for you guys." Ted said, shyly giving the basket to the asian. She took a bite out of one cookie. "mmmm... Raspberry, my favorite!" She kept eating the cookie, and noticed a little note in the basket. It said:

Dearly Dear new neighbors:

We've invited you to have a dinner with us tonight at our house. We'd like to meet you guys, spend time with you all, so we were kind enough to arrange this for you guys. Be here at 7:00 pm, we would do our best to make this dinner lovely.

Your across the street neighbor, Mrs. Wiggins

Tina closed the note and looked at Ted, giggling a bit. "Does she do this to every new neighbor?" Tina said, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, she actually does!" both of them started to giggle a bit, 'till they heard a woman. "Tina! Come on, you have to pick up your bedroom!"

"Coming mom..." Tina said, rolling her eyes. "Well, I'd guess I'd see you later then, Ted, bye!" Ted waved goodbye, to the girl, who was running up to her house, with the basket swinging on her hands.

"Now what am I going to do? It's too early to go home, and everyone's too busy!" Ted told himself, a bit upset.

"Oh, now I know!" Ted hopped in his scooter, to head to the Once-ler's place and tell him all about his new friend.


I know, too short. Probably not even that good or interesting at all.

Anyways, I hope you guys liked it :D
