Epilogue

13 years later

My hands sweated as I watched Macii walk towards me in a snow white dress made of Truffula tuffs. Don't get me wrong, I want to marry Macii. I am in love with her. Her and I started dating five years after the lorax came back, age fifteen, and it took two more years for me to say those three simply but meaningful words; "I love you". I asked her to marry me on her birthday and she exclaimed that this was the best birthday she had ever had. She had screeched yes about a billion times, but I didn't mind, I was grinning ear to ear and I may have even joined in with her at one point. Macii looked beautiful as she stepped up to the altar.

"I do," I said confidently after a while of listening.

"I do," Macii said in a un-Macii like sweet voice. Not that her voice is never sweet. It is but she normally uses her outside voice.

"Then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride," And I did. We broke apart and everyone, formally holding their breath, let out a loud exhale and clapped.

"Congratulations honey!" Macii's mom hugged us. Mom came up to us with Dad, brothers and sister.

"Does this mean you aren't living near our house anymore?" Jay, my eldest brother asked in a joking voice.

"Haha Jay-Jay, but actually we were thinking of staying with you while our house is being built," I used my nickname for him that always annoys him. His smile disappeared and I smirked. Macii glared at me.

"What Jake was supposed to ask," She said still glaring at me, "We want to know if you could help us build the house?"

"Of course," Mom answered for the whole family.

Macii and I watched from the porch as our three children, Lily, Collin and Lii played in the sun, chasing the Brown Bar-Ba-Loots and in Lily's, running away from our "pet" Breemee. Breemee sort of adopted us, she followed Macii and I everywhere and we finally asked her to be a family member (she refused being called a pet). Collin is the oldest at 12 years old, Lii is middle at 8 and Lily is the youngest, she is 4. Collin and Lily have my brown eyes and straight black hair, but Lii looks exactly like her mom, hazel eyes with just about every color and VERY curly red hair.

"Macii," I asked

"Yes?" She answered taking a drink from her lemonade.

"I think we should have some dinner right now," I said peeking at her, "I'm getting kinda hungry," Macii just laughed and said it was ready. She walked inside and I called to the kids to come and eat. We were having just about the best life I could imagine, we lived in a nice sized, cozy house in the Truffula forest, we had three kids and most of all, we had each other. Macii and I had long ago succeeded with our quest to find the Lorax and had started a new one, going with the flow and living life well. So far, we were doing good but we still had a long way to go. I smiled to myself and walked inside.
