A second chance
He doesn't understand… how did it go so wrong? His eyes are burning with withhold tears, his alone, the factory reach the sky, a sky he can't see anymore, why did no one told him, no why didn't he listen? It was all…
All my fault, ok? I admit it! It is all on me!
It feels good to say, right somehow, he sinks to the ground beside the last world the Lorax left behind, unless, but unless what? He doesn't know.
He don't know how long he sits there, before he realize something is wrong, for one he is in his pajamas, his cold and his leg is wet.
He wakes up as he is dunked in water, dream forgotten for the moment. He is wet confused
That's happening, where is, where am I?
Hey, you got trouble and its coming up fast
The Lorax point behind him and the other sound stressed, so he turns and there it is… a waterfall, he gulps, this will not be fun.
We are in the river
Every stone hurt, and he isn't sure if he or pipsqueak is the most scared. Then the stone drops on the bed they are both sent flying and in panic he grabs the little bar-ba-loot and pulls the small thing to his chest in a try to protect him, he hits the ground and his world goes black.
He comes back to sharps pain, that reminds him of a electrical charge, but he is alive, he turn to the Lorax (in the back of his mind he notes a yucky taste in his mouth)
Haha I was heading into the light, but you pulled me back and here I am, you saved my life!
He pulls the creature into a hug
Yeah, well, you know, not that big a deal.
It is a big deal! Look, I almost went over that waterfall!
He stops holding the Lorax on arms length
Wait … On my bed. How did my bed get in the river?
Uh, about that, uh...actually, um...iputyourbedinthewater
Once-ler drops him,
I didn't mean you any harm, I was only trying to calmly float you away… look everyone here needs the trees, and your chopping them down sooo, we got a big problem
Pipsqueak pulls on his legs, and big sad eyes look up at him begging him to not do this, he sign
Alright look
He goes down to the animal's level and pick up the little creature
I hereby swear I will never chop down another tree
He put pipsqueak down again, put one hand in the air the other on his heart
I promise
He means it, but something nags in the back of his head, he shoves it away
Thank you
It doesn't sound very thankful, but he takes that he can, he always has, the Lorax continues
But I gonna keep my eye on you
Ok time to go to bed. Got a big day tomorrow
He start moving towards the house before he remembers, he turns back, and as he pass the group he point out
Right after I find my bed.
Morning came as mornings tend to do. Once-ler wakes to the sight of… the snoring Lorax, it takes a second to sink in, but then it does, he screams, then both scream and then the Lorax hit him on his nose. After that whole thing, on his way to town he finally remembers the whole thing with a sudden horror he turns around, he still plans to sell his product but he needs a new plan.
Then he gets in the place is a mess, he can star planning tomorrow.

So I watched The Lorax (both movies and the e-book on youtube) and I loved one of them, take a guess but it wasn't the original, I thought the characters were a bit flat in whose.
Any way I always wanted to try my hand at peggy sue so here we are, well Once-ler had a dream of the future, he is still a kid, just slightly more mature and less thoughtless, so let's see that I can do with this.
Dialog taken directly from the movie and there be no pairings.
