Summary: Once-ler has lived a normal, but rather hard life, but one day, it all changes when the Evergreen family moves to Duskville

Summer had just started, in the year 1962, the sky was clear, the breeze blew gentle and warm, a perfect day. Dustville was the name of a small town near Texas, and where this story of ours begins. Along a long and bumpy dirt road that lead into that small town road a dark blue 50s Ford, fallowed by some moving trucks. Everyone in town knew about the people moving in, it had been in the morning paper, Mr. James Evergreen of Evergreen Construction was moving into the small town because of a business opportunity. Because this was something so big, the whole town was going to throw the a Welcome party at the Town Hall that evening.

As the trucks drove up to the house where the Evergreens would be living, curious eyes watched as the family got out of the car, Mr. Evergreen was a tall and strong man, Mrs. Evergreen was a thin and beautiful woman, and the daughters were a sight as well, but not what you'd expect wealthy city girls to look like. When most people think of wealthy girls from the city you expect well groomed, with fancy clothes and jewelry, but instead they were different.

The oldest daughter had short wavy chocolate brown hair, she was dressed in a dark blue t-shirt, a black leather jacket, worn out jeans, and leather boots. Her brown eyes were hidden behind her dark sun glasses, she was beautiful, but slightly scary. The younger daughter was very different, she was dressed in a plain sleeveless green dress with a blue waist band, her hair wasn't done up fancy, no curls, hair clips or hair spray, just long black tresses that fell past her shoulders and hung in her round young face. This daughter had little to no curves, and was thin, and she didn't even wear make up, the fact that she was so plain, is what made her stand out the most.

The house the family had bought had been empty for years, it was a big two story house, with a large front and back yard, both of which had tall grown out grass, with a tall old oak in the front yard, the paint was faded, and it was no doubt dusty inside as well.

The Onceler boys were in town that day, Brett and Chet had just finished up they're work on Mr. Leo's farm, and Onceler had finished his work around town doing odd jobs. Like many of the other people in town, they had stopped to see the new comers on they're way home, Onceler got out of the drivers seat of the his wagon and walked over to the house to get a better look. The oldest was helping the movers carry the furniture inside, and the youngest was helping her mother carry the smaller boxes. As she carried a box of books, one of them had fallen out but went unnoticed by her, with out really thinking, the tall young man picked it up.

"Excuse me ma'am?" He said trying to get her attention, the youngest turned to him, and he was at a lose of words for a moment, he had always had a hard time talking to girl, but as the younger girl looked at him with those big green eyes, his throat felt dry. It wasn't love at first sight, and his heart didn't skip a beat, but he had never seen such a cute and shy girl, all the other girls in town were more out going, but the Evergreen girl was different. "You… y-you dropped his…" he said giving her back the book, and as he held it out to her with a shaking hand, she quietly took it, her finger tips brushing his hand ever so gently, "Thank you," she replied taking her book back.

The oldest Onceler boy watched as the smaller girl walked into her new home, though he could hear her and her mother complain about all the dust inside, and Mr. Evergreen assured them that they would get the house clean before unpacking. As the father of the house walked out, Onceler spoke up, "Me and my brothers could help clean up, its a big house and the would will get done faster with a few extra hands," the young man offered, Mr. Evergreen thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Once everything was unloaded, the three boys introduced themselves and got to helping them clean up, Desi, the youngest daughter decided to put on some music using her radio, as she sweeped she swayed and danced to the beat of music. The girl flinched when Onceler started to sing along, he had a great voice, and by the way he shook those hips, had a great sense of rhythm too. After about two hours of working, Mrs. Evergreen made them all lemonade along with a few cookies after the kitchen was cleaned up. It was much needed after working so hard, Desi just drank a cream soda, she didn't care it was warm, she didn't really like lemonade, not enough sugar to make it sweet.

The teens sat out on the steps of the porch to cool down, "Thank you boy so much for helping," Mrs. Evergreen said happily, "It was nothing Mrs. Evergreen," Once-ler said blushing. After they're work was done, Mr. Evergreen paid the boys for they're help, and they went on they're way home. The Onceler boys road home in Once-lers wagon, Brett and Chet either dozing off, bugging they're older brother on the way back to the farm, or at least what was left of it.
