You have been spending some more time with the Once-ler. You noticed that he isn't that bad of a guy. He's just not the smartest out there.

"You sell that Thneed yet?" You called, walking over towards the Once-ler and Melvin.

"Well... No. We didn't." The Once-ler replied. You just laughed and eh glared at you.

"Oh, I mean... Awww... I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe next time." You laughed, petting Melvin.

"Very funny." The Once-ler said, storming to his house.

"Aww, come on man. I'm sorry.." You said, The Once-ler looked back at you, "I'm sorry that you cut down a beautiful tree for that piece of garbage." You continued to laugh and you could swear you saw Melvin smiled. The Once-ler marched back to his house, slamming the door. You walked Melvin over and tied him to the side of them small hut. You looked in the window and saw the Once-ler sketching something out.

"What are you drawing there?" You asked.

"None of your business!" The Once-ler replied, turning away from you.

"Thneed-ville?" You asked, weirdly. The Once-ler put it under his mattress.

"Like I said, None of your B-U-isness." He replied. You just smiled and climbed in his window.

"What're you doing?" The Once-ler called.

"Just hanging around" You smiled. He grunted and ignored you. You guys have grown to be better friends now that he promised not to cut down any trees but it seemed to bug him. Suddenly a weird smell hit you. You looked around and then looked down. The ankle of your pants had crap all over it.

"You have got to be kidding me!" You snapped. The Once-ler turned around to look at you and followed your eyes down to your ankle, he winced.

"OUT! Get out!" The Once-ler yelled, pushing you out his door.

"What the hell man?" You called back.

"You have crap all over your leg, I don't want that in my house. Come back when you clean off." The Once-ler stated, closing his door. Probably scurring to get some cleaning supplies. You huffed and walked back to your cottage. You gathered your things, and walked over to the river so you could clean your clothes and bathe.

"Hey, Pipsqueak!" You called over to the small Barbaloot, "Can you make sure the Once-ler dude doesn't come out here. Thanks!" The Barbaloot nodded and headed off to the Once-ler's hut.

You started to remove your shoes and clothes and hopped into the river. You let down your (h/l)(h/c) hair and started to bathe and wash the crap off of your clothes and shoes. As you were finishing up you looked around. Shit. You forgot your towel. Your house was to far away to run to and you couldn't just walk around naked.

"Hey! Once-ler!" You yelled out. He peeked out the window and his face grew crimson and he shut the curtain. "DUDE!" You yelled again.

"What!?" He called out from behind the curtain.
"Do you think you could quite possibly loan me a towel?" You yelled back. You could hear him whine and sigh. You watched as his hut door opened and he walked out with his eyes closed and a towel in hand. As he walked he tripped over several Humming fish and rocks.

"Here!" He stated, holding a towel out to you. You tried to grab it but he was to far away, you ended up tripping out of the river.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned, opening his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." You answered. Then you stopped. You were naked, and he was there. Staring at you. You quickly snatched the towel and wrapped it around your body. You looked at him. He was just standing there. Bright crimson face. Not moving.

"T-Thanks." You said and ran away, back to your cottage.
