      Back with Horton, he placed the clover with the speck carefully on the log.

      Horton: There, that oughta be comfy.

      He, Swiper and Morton the Elehant Bird drank some juice with a grin on their faces while the others and a rat named Morton looked concerned.

      Horton: Ah...nothing wrong with this, Morton. Nothing wrong with this. He-he. Just you guys, me, and the speck, shooting the breeze.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Yeah! It's so cool that dad found some sort of...speck thingie...

      Horton then adjusted the straw toward the speck. Morton, meanwhile, was trying to get into an empty coconut with the meat left in.

      Swiper: We're a club. We're a group. We can take a vote on the issues. (deep voice) We can be a secret society that controls the balance of power in the world.

      Morton kicked the empty coconut away before looking at Horton and Swiper.

      Morton: Guys.

      Horton: And no one else can join, (with joy) unless they wear funny hats!

      He made his elephants into some sort of weird looking hat it and chuckling.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Yeah! We can be the Neo-Outsiders people!

      Cartman: (rolling eyes) Bull, what kind of hippies would use the name 'Neo-Outsiders'?

      He finished his drink, tossing it away.

      Morton: Listen, guys.

      Swiper: The chair recognizes brother Morton.

      Scatterbrain: (holding up chair) Go ahead! Talk to the chair, brother Morton!

      Morton: Uh...right. We're really happy you found this...speck and all...

      He then leaned close to Horton's ear.

      Morton: But you might want to think about keeping it to yourself.

      Wolfos: Agree with yew on that. I mean hatching an egg is one thing but talking to a speck is another.

      Horton: Hmm? What? Why?

      Morton then picked up the clover.

      Morton: Well, you're talking to a clover. That doesn't look good!

      He drank some of the drink that was near the clover.

      Swiper: You know what doesn't look good: (points to them) You guys talking about the speck, (picks it up) like the speck isn't even there. (shows it) The speck never said anything bad about you.

      Morton frowned a bit.

      Swiper: But hey, good luck with your illusional superiority.

      Sarah: We are just worried, guys. I mean, you heard what Jane said earlier. She would throw a fit if she were to catch you doing this.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: Aww, she always threat a fit. She won't even let Rudy come out to play. I mean, so I got wings on my back and adore my dad to no end. That doesn't mean I'm different than everyone else, right?

      Sarah: Well, true, but...

      Morton: You know, the speck can think anything it wants about us, it's a speck.

      Hoton: (motioning) Whoa! I see what's going on here. Morton, everyone, no matter how tight the speck, Swiper and I get, (hugs them) the speck could never replace you guys.

      Morton glanced a bit more.

      Swiper: I'm only sad that he would have to explain that at this point.

      Morton: (sighs) Well, that's awesome, Swiper. That really helps. Just you and Morton try to keep this to yourself.

      Max: Or you can tell a lot of folks and caught a lot of craziness or something!

      Morton: I'll see ya guys later. I got to go to...my house. (whispers) Try.

      He then left the group. Mr. Scatterbrain smiles as he hold up a familiar dish happily to Mr. Grumpy.

      Mr. Grumpy: (annoyed) What now?

      Mr. Scatterbrain: Would you, could you in a house? Would you, could you with a mouse?

      Mr. Grumpy: (frowns) No, I would not, could not on in a house and certainly would not, could not with a monkey! I would not, could not in a tree and certainly would not, could not with a monkey! I do not like them here or there, I won't like them anywhere! I don't like Green Eggs and Ham, Scatterbrain I am!

      June: (to herself) I have a feeling this sub-plot is going to be a long one.

      Horton meanwhile, looked back at the clover with some concern.

      Voice: Horton, whatcha got there?

      The elephant yelped, trying to hide the clover.

      Horton: Who said that? Uh, nothing!

      Just then, he saw some familiar faces coming to him as he acted non-chalant.

      Psycho: Hey, it's your class.

      Swiper: We're not doing anything.

      Horton tripped, falling to the ground a bit before trying to stand up.

      Horton: Du-du-du-dum-dum, we're totally alone.

      Morton the Elephant Bird: That's right, we're alone!

      Hiyuki: Well, there's us.

      Jessica Quilligan: Who's "we"?

      Horton: Who? What? We? Did I say "we"? I just-oh, I would never say that because I wouldn't imply that I was with someone other than these guys and not alone. (sweatdrops) He-he.

      Hope: (frowns) Swiper...

      Mr. Stubborn: There is no one else here, go away!

      Horton looked a bit worried, trying to hold his mouth a bit before he finally gasped and finally spoke.

      Horton: Okay, seriously, you can't tell anybody, and I mean it! If anybody finds out about this, it could be very, very bad. And I'm not sure why.

      Tommy the wombat: We won't tell anyone. And if we do, we'll tell them not to tell anyone.

      Most of them only groaned.

      Swiper: Perfect!

      Stan: Dude, this is pretty much f**ked up here.

      Kyle: Totally.

      Horton motioned the class to move closer.

      Horton: Okay, I'm taking a bath right? Because even an elephant needs to be cleaned.

      Rini: (narrating) While Horton came clean about the speck that he found

      Back in Whoville, Ned waved to someone as he waved back.

      Rini: (narrating) And how he saved it when it nearly drowned,

      Ned then noticed the water in the fish bowl going a slight different direction, much to his confusion.

      Rini: (narrating) Ned set off for his morning commute
      And noticed things weren't quite the same on his route.

      The fish and Ned both looked confused. Back in the Jungle of Nool, Horton continued explaining.

      Horton: (narrating) But please don't blame Horton, for he didn't know
      That a small bump above...

      Horton then got on a tree trunk.

      Horton: And I dove for it in the water like this!

      He jumped, then landed flat on his belly. Back in Whoville, everyone felt the shaking.

      Rini: (narrating) ...was a big bump alone.

      Ned looked a bit concerned and worried. He then came a construction worker.

      Ned: Hey. Don't work too hard.

      Construction worker: Ah, these luxury condos, they don't build themselves.

      Just then, a huge bump flipped the town, though now the condo was now completed with the construction worker on the beach bench.

      Construction worker: Hey, look at that! I guess they do build themselves!

      Ned: Ooookay, that happened.

      Voice: Bark!

      Ned turned, noticing a dog named Max along with a girl named Cindy Lou Who and a boy named Euchariah.

      Euchariah: Did you see what happened, Ned?

      Ned: Actually, I wish I didn't.

      Cindy Lou: Ned, today's the most important day in your career. Martha May and the Grinch are waiting for you as well as the council.

      Ned: (annoyed) Oh, I hate that stupid council! They always make fun of me, especially my grandfather.

      Cindy Lou: You got to admit, they wish he didn't got booted out by Augustus whose actions made Mr. Grinch almost ruin the town back when he was his bad old self.

      Euchariah: And didn't take too much precautions during Grinch Night. They just want your approval on the upcoming festival, that's all.

      Ned sighed as they headed to the huge building: Whoville Hall.

      Ned: Well, at least you two are still helpful and pals.

      Cindy Lou: Hey, at least you have made the decision of allowing the Whos to change their last names. I mean after a while, it gets confusing with the last name 'Who'. We're the few Whos who still go by their last names.

      Rini: (narrating) Now the mayor knew that it was his job to convey
      The unusual things that he noticed that day

      Ned then noticed some of the clouds twirling with a bit of concern.

      Rini: (narrating) But there was one problem: though his will was strong

      He then passed by his secretary named Miss Yelp along with a woman named Martha May Whovier and a green freak named the Grinch.

      Miss Yelp: You're late.

      Martha May: What took you guys so long?

      They were given the fish bowl.

      Ned: Thank you, guys.

      Grinch: Come on, we're faring to go. We have to stall those idiots in the council.

      Inside the hall, each person inside made a salute with the others arriving before they did the salute.

      Rini: (narrating) Nothing in Whoville had ever gone wrong.

      All: We have all who we need, we have all that we've got
      We like it in Whoville, we like it alot

      Finally, those that were near chairs sat down as the Councilman spoke.

      Councilman: We're all very busy with Whosetenial coming up, so (bangs the gaval) let's bring this meeting to order.

      Grinch: Yeah, I'll take a blob sandwich with some broken off lady fingers.

      Most of the Whos look a bit disgusted at this.

      Councilman: (to himself) Why did we even allow the Grinch to come here very so often with his wild behavior?

      He then looked at Ned.

      Councilman: Mr. Mayor, I presume that you have some good news for us.

      The secretary typed in the words he said.

      Ned: (concerned) Well, it's news, uh, I dunno if we need to go labeling good or bad or anything like that...

      He looked a bit more concern to him.

      Ned: The thing is...I have noticed some odds going on in Whoville lately...not as much as that time when the Grinch stole Christmas or when he nearly destroy Whoville if not for Euchariah.

      The Grinch: I said I was sorry, yeesh! Can we drop it already?

      Councilman: Good odds going on? Oh, I hope it's one of those!

      Ned: (sighs) Well, you know, tremors, clouds swirling in the sky, and it seems to me, just to say, that we might consider...(quietly) postponingtheWhosentenial?

      Councilman: (glances) Consider what?

      Ned: Uh...

      He muttered it again a bit.

      Ned: (frowns) What!? Speak up, man!

      The Grinch: She said "postponing that Who Festival thing".

      Ned: I didn't say that! I said "Postponing the Whosentenial!" (to the council) Right?

      The crowd gasped. Many people looked worried before the Councilman pressed a smiley face button, trapping Ned's group in the dome while calm music played, making the people sigh in relief while the ones outside, Max and Martha May groaned.

      Max the dog: Bark, bark?

      The councilman prepared to grab Ned and the Grinch, though they dodged as they ran around the place.

      Euchariah: Ugh, not that again. I bet the council really hates those two.

      Ned was finally grabbed before he was choking. The Grinch tried removing him from his grasp, only to be punched in the eye.

      Cindy Lou: Ouch.

      Then, the Councilman, holding a picture, showed the two a picture of a donkey's rear end, making some of them concerned. Max grabs some empty glasses and used them to hear the conversation inside the glass.

      Councilman: (angrily) We are about to celebrate 100 years of Whoville happiness and harmony, and you and that pink haired idiot want to postpone the celebration!?

      The Grinch: Ned's got a point here, what if Whoville's not safe?

      Councilman: Nothing ever goes wrong in Whoville, never has and never will, you two Boobs.

      Ned looked very worried at that point.

      Ned: Boobs?

      Councilman: So we should all be happy, not depressed!

      The Grinch: (annoyed) Oh really...what about the times I use to terrorize your stupid home back?

      Councilman: Those don't count! You were only a nusience! And the old mayors were just as dumb!

      Finally, the button was pressed as the dome was lifted up and the music stopped.

      Councilman: The Whosentenial will proceed as planned.

      The crowd applauded as he continued.

      Councilman: The mayor and his idiot were merely being idiots.

      He pressed another button, then the hands grabbed Ned and the Grinch's mouths, forcing the two to smile.

      Councilman: It will be all smiles from now on.

      Then, some machines with boots on them came as the two were kicked out, much to most of them's amusement.

      Euchariah: (worried) I got a bad feeling about this.

      A bit later, at the mayor's place, Miss Yelp laughed a bit while talking on a headphone with mic as she looked at a website with her picture on it.

      Miss Yelp: Girl, I've got 15,000 friends already! (pauses) What? Whatcha mean it don't look like me? That look just like me! (pauses) 10 years ago. (notices) Wait a minute, hold on for a second.

      She then poured some Pepto Bismal in a small cup each before Ned and most of the group (save for Martha May) arrived in the elevator.

      Ned: Hmph, treats us like an idiot, we're not idiots...

      He drank the Pepto Bismal before turning to Miss Yelp.

      Ned: Do I look like an idiot?

      He sighed as he headed into one of the offices.

      Miss Yelp: You don't want me to answer that.

      The Grinch: I am not an idiot! He's the idiot!

      Cindy Lou: What about the time you call yourself an idiot accidentally with an echo? Or when you try to scare me away with your antics when I...

      The Grinch: (frowns) Thanks, Cindy Lou! That's enough!

      The cups were placed in the trash. Inside the office, the others sighed a bit while most of them were cleaning up a bit and Ned looked concerned.

      Euchariah: Hey, don't feel bad. It's not your fault that those guys hate you.

      Cindy Lou: Too bad Martha May's doing her other job at being a governor, otherwise she's help talk some sense into you.

      Ned: Hmph, has the nerve to call me a Boob!? I'd never call anyone a Boob.

      The Grinch: (gives her some papers) Those guys are jerks anyway.

      Ned: You're right, he is a boob!

      He glanced at the pictures of the council hanging on the wall.

      Ned: Look at you, yuck.

      He played with the stapler a bit.

      Ned: Look at your face. And I bet you won't look so good with a stapler on your head!

      He tossed it to the picture in the wall, though it bounced back, hitting him face and leaving a stapler on her head, much to the pain of the Who.

      Max the dog: (paws on face) Ooooh....

      Ned: AHHHHH!!

      The scream travelled all the way up before Horton and Swiper, smiling, heard it.

      Max Rabbit: Whoa, whoa! I heard screaming! (smiles) Music to my rabbit ears!

      Greasy: Ay carumba! Who was that?!

      Rini: There's no one around here.

      Horton, however, yelped a bit.

      Horton: Whoa!

      He and Swiperthen got up, looking at the speck with a grin.

      Swiper: Whoa-ho-ho!

      Back in Whoville, Ned was in pain as he grunted.

      Ned: Ow, ow, ow, ow!

      Miss Yelp, looking at some notes, used the stapler remover on him.

      Ned: Ow. Thank you, Miss Yelp.

      Miss Yelp: No problem.

      The man sighed as Cindy Lou looked at him.

      Cindy Lou: I think you oughta control your temper. That prevent most accidents like that.

      Back in the jungle, the group looked concerned a bit.

      Sarah: You don't think...

      Danny: We can hear it?

      Mr. Scatterbrain: Oh! I borrow one of Shirly's spells earlier and cast it so we can hear the smallest of voices!

      Mr. Grumpy: Gah! Now he tells us!

      Horton: (to the speck) Hello?

      Back in Whoville, the group yelped as they heard a noise.

      Ned: Who said that? We'll deal with you!

      Ned, however, tripped a bit. He took the sound area of the old record, looking concern. They looked out to where the mumbling sound was heard.

      Euchariah: This is strange. Where's it coming from?

      The group looked up, noticing some sound coming from the broken pipe.

      Cindy Lou: Uh, hello?

      Back in the jungle, the group there heard the small "hello".

      Hope: It is! There is soemthing down there!

      Stupid: Duh, wheee!

      Swiper: (grins) Hello.

      They heard more mumbling before Euchariah realized something.

      Euchariah: I think you should use that, so we can hear the voice clearer.

      Ned: Uh, sure, Euchariah.

      The group placed the funnel in before they heard Horton's voice clearly.

      Horton's Voice: Who's there?
