A/N: I'm sorry! So many different stories! It's just there's so many ideas! I had to start writing this although I'm sure many other of fans had gotten the same idea and written it, but here's my take, my version, and my way. I've read no one else's but I'm sure there's some out there.
Prologue: the Introduction:
I'm sure you've all wondered the past life and childhood of the Once-ler. We can all conclude, that his family life is probably horrible, I mean her mother's a complete bitch, his brothers are retarded, and not to mention they don't know either his aunt is even a woman.
Excuse the language in this, but just calling her a "really, really, mean mother", just doesn't make the cut. Don't you think?
That's what I thought. Anyways, my name's Odette, yeah, yeah I know. "Isn't that the name of the Swan Princess?" Yes, my mom was a theater, play, ballet, musical, etc. lover. So she named me after her favorite characters from her favorite ballet.
Let's just say I was a good friends with the Once-ler. What? Okay, okay, maybe more than just friends, yes lovers if that's how you see it, but hey you gotta start somewhere am I right?
Well, I'm going to take y'all on a little journey, ugh...where have I heard that before? Let me rephrase that.
Allow me too...no...hm...this introductory stuff is harder than I thought...
Hm, oh well, let me take this story back a few years ago. Okay, maybe more than a few, maybe like..several pretty much years ago.
Back when Once-ler and I were only seven years old. We were both loners, looking for someone, anyone to be our friend, but not just any friend. A loyal, kind, friendly friend. Let's just say we both fit that description for one another...
