A/N hey guys! Thank you so much for the reviews! School is starting back up and I won't be able to update a lot, but I will try to get them on here as soon as I write them! Thanks! J Oh and this story will be made mostly about Lorrie because I can't go any further than I am right now because I need to watch the movie again to get details right. Okay, on with the show!

Lorrie looked out at the valleys, breathing in the sweet smell she came to love even more than she already did. She sat down against one of trees, running her hands through the silky soft grass, a smile appearing on her face. She had been 'visiting' her dad for the past week and planned to set out tomorrow to other towns then she would be back again. It was her dad's main rule.

It was six in the morning so she knew none of the swomee swans or bar-ba-loots would be out. She let out a giggle, remembering the larger bear's antics of yesterday. Seriously when would he learn not to steal fruit?

Lorrie looked around at the truffula trees, loving the vibrant colors of the 'leafs'.

She closed her and felt at peace for a moment.

Crack

She sighed and opened one eye, immediately seeing her dad trying to creep away carefully.

"Dad?" she asked in an irritated voice.

The Lorax turned around slightly. "Oh Hey Lorrie, I was just-um-I mean-I"

"Yes?" she replied, tapping her fingers.

He let out a dejected sigh.

"I was looking for you. "

She brightened up almost immediately, happy to hear he wasn't just making his rounds to check on the trees.

"Oh, well come over here!" she patted the seat next to her on the ground.

The Lorax gave her a wary look before sitting next to her. He looked up into her cheery face and sighed again,

"Just like your mother, you are, with your mood changes." He grumbled.

Her eyes twitched, "oh?" He not seeing the error, nodded his head vigorously.

"Yep! You talk like her and you have her positive attitude and need to travel. She was like that even when we first met." he let out a small chuckle.

Lorrie only watched him, her curiousness getting the better of her. The Lorax took that as a sign to go on.

"Now Lorrie if you didn't know this, I wasn't always this short-"Lorrie let out a snort and he shot her a glare, immediately shutting her up.

"Now as I was saying. I am old as time itself; I just wasn't always this way. I used to be what you kids would call a 'stud'. You know what I mean, now don't give that look, I was tall and less….furry. I had the appearance of a human. Now that was something I always took for granted but now I wish I had treasured it a little more." He was quiet for a moment, seeming lost in a memory. He shook his head and resumed.

"I met your mother when she was about 22 years old. She was just passing through with her family. I saw her and was immediately smitten. And slowly as the weeks passed by, she fell in love with me. And by the end of summer, we were dating. I asked her stay with but I knew she wouldn't. Her love for me wasn't as great as her love of seeing new things. So she said one day she would come back. We continued our love through letters.

But soon I was called into the magical court. I had broken the most important rule. Don't fall in love with a human. Of course I knew that rule by heart, but my heart was also telling me that she was what I really wanted. The judge took pity on me and lessened my punishment. I was to take this form and to protect this forest with my life. I had to speak for the trees. Though I used to live there just helping out with small stuff, I had to protect it from anything that would harm these trees or theses creatures.

I took on the responsibility knowing that this was only way besides death. And for the next 2 years that's what I did. I protected this place as if it was my child, always going through the motions. I was not allowed to contact your mother at all so I had no reason to live but then I came you care for this place, for the creatures, for the trees. So I became more serious about this forest. Then three years later, out of the blue. You and your mother showed up. You were 5 years old at the time, it was summer and when you saw the tress you went up and began hugging all of them. Then Claire came to me, she recognized my eyes, she said. She couldn't stay but had wanted me to meet my daughter," he paused for a moment to wipe a tear and nudge Lorri," and from that moment on, you and the trees became my reason for living."

Lorrie hugged her dad, joyous that he would share something like that with her.

"Daddy, I love you."

"I love you too, Lorrie."

They stayed like that for a few minutes, The Lorax treasuring this moment, hating when he would have to let go.

A/N okay I know. Not very long and not very good. Give me time, I'm working on it! :P
