Yes, yes, I hear the Nightmare Before Christmas fans saying 'oh, no, that's the Oogie Boogie Song!', but the simple fact is that I based this more off of the Wheatley Song than the Oogie Boogie Song, despite OBS being the original :P

Hugging Is Good

The Greed-ler smirked as he advanced towards (Name) and started singing. “Well, well, well. Welcome to my lair!

(Name), Peanut and some guy, huh?

Ooo, I’m really scared!” He mocked.

“So you’re the ones that wanna take me down

Ah ha ha… good luck.

You’re joking, you are joking?

I can’t believe my eyes

You’re kidding me, you’ve gotta be

Why won’t you just die?!

You’re dumb, he’s fluffy,

I don’t know which is worse

I might just have a heart attack

If I don’t die laughing first!” He pounced at her, but she dodged behind his desk, and they continued circling each other.

(Name) took a deep breath and started to sing as well. “Do you remember the Once-ler?

Who saw the world as his to take

And said ‘I really only fracture

The rules that we made to break

Never really see-” She was cut off as he took a swipe at her. She leaned back and landed on her butt, scrambling away from him.

“When little ol’ Oncie says

There’s trouble, don’t go further

You’d better pay attention

‘Cause I’m the Greed-ler!

And if you aren’t shaking

Then there’s something very wrong

Because this may be the last time

That you hear the Greed-ler song!

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh

Oooh

Ooooh…

I’m the evil Greed-ler!” He cackled, grabbing at her arms as she weaved around the room avoiding him.

“Never really seemed to notice

Things they found appalling

Smilin’ as the very first

Truffula was falling, falling, falling

Lead the world and heal tomorrow

Knowin’ we could always

Run to high ground

Same day, different story!

When we play, but now we borrow

Falling, falling, falling

And there’s no one left around!” (Name) belted out the tune as she hefted an armful of books off of the bookshelf and pitched them at the Greed-ler.

“Well, if I’m feeling bored

And there isn’t much to do

I might just build a machine

To lop down a tree- or you!” He yelled, picking up a rather sharp-looking axe that (Name) recognised as the axe with which he had cut down the original Truffula tree that had spat out the Lorax.

She yelped, cutting off her song as she threw herself over his desk, bouncing off of his chair and falling to the ground as he swung it at her.

“Get back here, you little-” He grunted, bringing it crashing down on the desk just behind her.

“Stop it!” She cried. “Oncie, I know you’re in there! Just fight it; I know you can beat him!”

The Greed-ler paused for a moment, and she saw a flash of sad blue in his eyes before the green returned and he swung the axe down.

(Name) lurched forward and wrapped her arms around his middle, pressing her lips to his for a long second before falling back. “There,” She sobbed, closing her eyes tightly. “At least I got to let you know what I thought of the Once-ler. Go on.” She waited, but no axe hit her. “Come on, then!” Still nothing hit her. “Just do it, already!” She yelled.

There was a clatter, and she looked up to see a blue-eyed Once-ler drop his axe and come rushing forward before sweeping her up into a hug as he fell to his knees. “I am so sorry, (Name).” He whispered again.

She rested her head on his shoulder. “I know.” She replied.

“(Name)?!” Theodore yelled, pounding on the door.

“What’s going on, kid?!” The Lorax added, thumping on it as well.

Once-ler stood up and pushed the bookcase away from the door, grunting with the effort. The door swung open, and the Lorax and Theodore rushed over to (Name), who was still on the ground. “You right there, (Name)?” Theodore asked, helping her to her feet.

She nodded. “Yeah, I’m ok. But I think you have some catching up to do.” She glanced at Once-ler, who looked confused.

Theodore smiled and led him out onto the balcony, softly closing the glass door behind them.

(Name) wobbled over to Once-ler’s chair and collapsed into it, breathing deeply for a few moments to try and calm her nerves. “Well… we got him back.” She said with a wide grin to the Lorax.

“Yeah, we did, didn’t we?” He beamed back before glancing out the window. “Hey, they’re hugging. Hugging is good, right?”

She looked over and smiled. “Yeah, Peanut. Hugging is very good.”
