It is December 15th in Thneedville. It has been several months since Ted Wiggins convinced the citizens to replant the Truffula forest and the tree-hating mayor Aloysius O'Hare was driven out of town. Ted finally won the affection of her dream girl, Audrey.
Right now, it is Ted's last day of school before Christmas vacation. He and his class are in their classroom having a Christmas party. They are watching "The Polar Express" while eating foods like cookies, cupcakes and brownies.
Later, the end of school bell rang and everyone scrambled out of the building, excited that they're finally starting two weeks of Christmas break. Ted got onto his mono-scooter and rolled on home.
When he got home, he was greeted by his mother and grandmother.
"Hey, Ted," his mom greeted. "How was school today?"
"It was good." Ted replied.
"So what did you do today?"
"We had a Christmas party and watched "The Polar Express"."
"What else did you do?"
"We also ate cookies, cupcakes and brownies."
"That's great, honey."
That evening, during dinner, the family was eating spaghetti. "Ted," Ted's mother said. "Audrey's parents called us and said they're going to a cabin in the Truffula Valley for Christmas vacation and they're inviting us to join them."
This made Ted's heart soar. "That's great!"
Mrs. Wiggins chuckled. "I know. You're excited about seeing her, aren't you?
"I sure am! So when are they coming to get us?"
"They'll be here tomorrow afternoon."
"Awesome." Then he asked his grandmother, "So, where is this cabin in the Truffula Valley?"
"Well," Grammy Norma said. "The Lorax told me that he and the Once-ler built the cabin for travelers who would need a place to stop and rest and spend vacations."
"Cool."
Later that evening, it was time for Ted to go to bed. He is now asleep.
Around midnight, Ted was dreaming in his sleep. In his dream, he is showing Audrey a surprise. He was taking her hand as she kept her eyes closed.
"Keep coming," he said as he guided Audrey to the surprise he wants to show her. "And no peeking."
When he stopped, he said, "Alright, open them."
Audrey opened her eyes and gasped in surprise. Her surprise was a Truffula tree with lights and a star on top. "Did you make this?"
"Yes," Ted replied. "I made it myself for you. Merry Christmas, Audrey."
"Thank you, Ted," Audrey said affectionately. She wraps her arms around his neck and presses her lips against Ted's. He wraps his arms around her waist as they kissed passionately.
Shortly after, the dream fades. Ted opened his eyes to see he was kissing his pillow. He felt more surprised than when he was caught kissing a cereal box months ago.
But he went back to sleep and slept soundly, knowing he will see his girlfriend tomorrow.
If this isn't enough, I'll make more for the next chapter whenever I get the chance.
