The Once-lers

A FrUk Once-ler AU. Francis and Arthur were business partners who destroyed the environment for money and fame. When all the Truffula trees have been cut down, Francis proposes they capitalize on the smoggy landscape and sell air to people. Arthur refuses, and cuts Francis off. He leaves to isolate himself in his home outside the walls of Thneedville, while Francis continues to pollute the environment and get richer and richer selling clean air to people. Also, Alfred accidentally starts to fix things in his quest to impress his cute neighbor, Ivan.
