"I'm sorry ma'am but we can't change the dorm rooms now. If you wanted to, you should've come earlier."

"UGH" groaned the Once-ler. "AND ITS SIR NOT MA'AM!"

"What ever you want ma'am," replied the woman behind the desk, "damn liberals."

As the Once-ler stormed out of the office, in walks the Lorax.

"Please change my dorm-mate he is just too unbearable!"
"I'm sorry sir but we can't change the dorm rooms now. If you wanted to you should've come earlier." The office lady repeated, slightly annoyed.

They both groaned and tried to retaliate with the office lady but it was no use. They both wandered back to their dormitory with the Lorax lingering behind. "I guess you will just have to deal with me for a little while" the Lorax said.
"I wish i could but i can't forgive you for what you did."
"And what was that?"
"You cheated on me with Gru ..."
"But how did you find out?! I was so careful!"

"All your excuses lead me to ask a few questions. A minion came to me and told me EVERYTHING, he told me about every meeting you had with him!"
The Once-ler stormed off into his room. A loud bang happened as he slammed his door. The Once-ler fell to the floor and started to play his new remix of a song he highly related to

"I got my sales license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To sell thneeds to your house
But today I cut down a tree
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that bald guy
Who always made me doubt
He's so much thicker than me
He's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I cut down a tree
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I cut trees past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I cut down a tree
And pictured I was cutting it for you
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I cut trees past your street
Fire, axes
I still see your face in the dead trees, grave yards
Can't cut trees past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pathways we'd crossed
I still hear your voice in the forest, we're laughing
Over all the chainsaws
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I cut trees past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I cut trees past your street"

The Once-ler exhales and tears welled in his eyes. As he looks up at the ceiling he punches the air with anger and sadness. He drys his tears and looks in the mirror. He decides to continue unpacking his bags.
