Chapter 2
I turned but saw no one. Strange.
"What is it?" Macii asked worriedly.
"Nothing, I just thought I saw something," I answered.
Macii and I watched as the Truffula Tree bloomed, first beautiful yellow flowers then the fruit. The fruit held the seed so I picked 3 of them. We split the fruits open on a rock and seed spilled out.
"Oops," Macii muttered.
"Its fine, we can pick these up," I assured her.
We quickly picked up the seeds and scraped out the rest-there was a LOT in one fruit-, I put them in a pouch I held on my neck. I walked over a few feet away from the new Truffula Tree and dug a hole with my hands again, but this time, Macii was a few feet over doing the same. She looked at me with a look saying, "Is this deep enough?" I nodded to her. Macii took the seed I gave her and placed it it in the hole then filled it in with the dirt she dug up. I copied her.
The Truffula Trees sprouted, as they grew, their tuffs turned from color to color. Deep Reds, bright yellows, Easter purples, beautiful pinks, sunset orange, and sky blue. Macii's tree settled with the sky blue and mine was the beautiful pink.
Again, I felt something watching me.
"Come on, let's plant the rest of these seeds," I held the pouch out," and see if we can get the Brown Bar-Ba-Loots to come back,"
5 hours later
"There! Done!" Macii said excitedly.
"For now at least," I replied. We were very tired, but we had to do something to the pond to spruce it up.
"Come on, let 's go plant some flowers and stuff in and around the pond," I said holding out some seeds of daisy's and pond lily's that we had found along the way.
"Oh, and these too!" Macii screeched at me as I walked away, "We HAVE to plant cattail!" Cattail is Macii's favorite plant, at least, she loved them beside the pond. My favorite is and will always be, Truffula Trees.
Macii and I worked until dark planting the flowers in and out of the water. I don't know why, but tese plants grew extremely fast, like the Truffula Tree.
"I think it is BECAUSE of the trees. They might be magical enough that they can put the fast growing spell on the rest of the land too. I mean, it could be possible," Macii thought out loud.
"Probably," I answered her," Let's go sleep now," We unpacked the sleeping bags in Macii's backpack and set them up. It was getting chilly.
"Here, "Macii held out half of a Truffula fruit to me. I took it gratefully; Macii knew how to take care of someone. Macii and I ate our half of a fruit then lay down in our sleeping bags and fell asleep.
"Hey, Jake! Wake up!" Macii called my name in a hushed voice.
"What?" I said sleepily.
"See for yourself," I sat up. I saw what had made Macii wake me up so early, it was the most beautiful sight I have ever witnessed. There frolicking in the field, were Brown Bar-Ba-Loots. I was overjoyed.
"We did it right, Macii! I'm sure he sent them! The Lorax might come back!"
