New Years In Nool
p style="text-align: left;"strong

Notes: My collaborator Sophie recently her New Years Eve Chapter for this anthology but she never sent me a copy of it for me to upload to this anthology so here is my New Years Eve chapter. It is from Demi's perspective. I should mention that I wrote this in January and have just gotten the time to type it up now. Also it has been two years since Seussical ended so this will reflect the passage of that amount of time.. which would mean that there will be a new baby. This story is dedicated to Adam Linkroum./p

Wow! It's hard to believe that another year has passed. This spring will be two years since Nool and Whoville have merged into one community. One thing I remember about the past year is my cousin Jeff's graduation from high school. I wrote a song for all the graduates and sang it at the party. Everyone was really surprised. I think it was the best gift I could have given my cousin for his graduation.
I can't say I was initially pleased with his choice to go to the Military Academy to train new recruits. My aunt and uncle weren't too happy about it either. We are all concerned he could be sent off to another war and we think it's too soon for him to go away again. He did get a military scholarship at Graduation and I couldn't be more prouder of it. The scholarship will go toward his aeronautical engineering degree.

There was a lot of tension between Horton, Gertrude, Mayzie and Tweet back in the spring time about where they should raise their children. Tweet and Mayzie wanted Gertrude and Horton to move to Fort Worth but everyone knew deep down that that arrangement was never right. We are all a family here in Nool and Little JoJo has thrived here. Luckily Mayzie reconsidered and they will be moving back to the jungle sometime in February. Horton and Gertrude are going to have another baby in March and I am so excited for Little Jojo to have a sibling. They want to be surprised by the gender but I am hoping it will be another boy./p
p style="text-align: left;"Things with the singing group has been going great. We are taking a little bit of a break from traveling and performing. Jessica and I have gone into business together teaching voice lessons to the middle school and high school kids and that has been going great. We probably make about $200.00 a week which goes right back into putting on great concerts for the community. Gertrude told me a story about friends her and Horton met during the trial named Shrek and Fiona. I don't remember meeting them after the trial was over but I wonder what they are doing now. I hope they will come back to Nool soon to visit./p
I am so grateful for everything that has happened in the past two years and for everything Horton and Gertrude did for us to unite Whoville and Nool. We have made memories that I will never ever forget! More good times are to come./p
