Everyone was crowded inside Onceler's tent, ready early for some pancakes.

Onceler was at the stove cooking the pancakes, humming a tone, while Kimmer helped make the batter and Pipsqueak waited with a plate to serve the pancakes. Pretty soon, the pancakes were served , and everyone was stuffed and satisfied.

"You sure do know how to make the best pancakes, Beanpole", Lorax said, laying on Onceler's bead with other barbaloot's and humming fish, his belly bulging.

"And you sure do know how to eat them," Jeremy remarked, his belly full as well.

"Those were the best pancakes I ever had, they're even better than my Mom's."

"Yes, that's my brother for ya", Kimmer agreed, laying next to Lou the barbaloot and bill the swomme swan chick. Lou nodded and begged for more pancakes despite that his belly was protruding.

"Hey sis", Onceler turn to Kimmer as he flipped a pancake onto the plate Pipsqueak held( he helped himself to some, too.)

"On my way to Greenville today I heard that there was a fair going on down town. I also heard it was very fun."

"Really?!" Kimmer sat up straighter and Bill flew and perched on her shoulder. "Me and Jeremy saw it and always wished of going. But we always have school."

"Well, Tomorrow's your lucky day, 'cause tomorrow I'm taking you and Jeremy."

"But, Oncie, I thought you have to sell your thneed."

"Yeah, but I decided that I want to take a break and have fun with my Little sister. Plus, you also have no school tomorrow."

Kimmer and Jeremy brightened up and rushed towards him."

"Wow, thank you, Onceler, your as swell as my sister Norma."

Onceler then mention, "Speaking of Norma, she's coming tomorrow, too." He smiled at the mention of her name.

Kimmer and Jeremy gave a look at each other and smirked. They both knew that soon enough their older siblings would fall for each other, but they choose to not say anything about it of course.

Pipsqueak who was excited at the sound of the fair, scrambled over to Onceler and begged to go.

Lorax noticed and broke it to him.

"Sorry, Pipsqueak, but you're not able to go with them, buddy."

Hearing those words, Pipsqueak happiness drained from him, like air from a deflating ballon. He really wanted to go to that fair with Onceler and Kimmer. It sounded very exciting to him. Lorax saw Pipsqueak's sadness and went over to comfort him.

"Hey, cheer up, While they're gone, we could play a fun game of poker, hun?"

Though he liked playing poker with Lorax, that still didn't cheer Pipsqueak up. His ears dropped lower with disappointment.

Onceler felt sorry for the little barbaloot and kneeled beside him.

"Yeah, we're sorry little guy. If we were able to, we definitely would. But me and Kimmer would spend plenty of fun with you as soon as we get back. How dose that sound?"

With those words, Pipsqeuak cheered up a little and nodded with his eyes a little brighter. Onceler smiled tenderly and tickled the white spot on Pipsqueak chest, making the little barbaloot giggled.

"There we go. That's the happy little barbaloot I know and love." Pipsqueak brightened up even more. Kimmer went over to Pipsqueak and attached his ear, which satisfied him.

She loved the close bond between Pipsqueak and her brother. It was touching to her, knowing that her brother cared deeply about the little barbaloot. Of course she's not jealous, as she knows that she and Pipsqueak still have a close bond.

After everyone finished up the pancakes, everyone enjoyed the rest of the beautiful day outside. After playing a game tense game of Poker with Lorax and Jeremy (Lorax finally had won, much to Jeremy's dismay), Onceler and Kimmer, played their guitars and singed together in a melody, beautiful and pleasing to the animals and Lorax's ears, most especially Pipsqueak. He loved to hear them make music together, but not more than their love and affection.

Having deceased parents, Onceler and Kimmer are like parents figures to him ( The Lorax is like a fun- loving uncle influence to him as well). He was lucky to have them in his life, and wishes for that to last forever.
