Horton is not the only one I notice

Oh the things you can think... like maybe What if Horton was not the only character that Gertrude had feelings for? I saw this idea in the Seussical forum and decided to write it. Hopefully it turns out all right. This is from Gertrude's POV. Might write one from Mayzie's point of view too. Not sure how go about that though. Set after Amayzing Mayzie/Amazing Gertrude

I just got back from going to see Dr. Dake about my tail like Mayzie suggested. I ended up taking some pills to make my tail grow. It sure did grow... big and bright! Exactly like Mayzie's! Hopefully Horton will notice.. I did this all for him after all.

It's sort of funny Mayzie and I have known each other for a while but I've never been over to her house once. I'm friends with one of her back up singers Evie. We get along really well. Mayzie and I are two totally different birds. I am socially awkward and really shy and she is exactly the opposite. I notice more than just her colorful tail. When she gave me the advice about how to go see Dr Dake she looked like she really wanted to help me a figure out away to impress Horton. Eyes are the window to a person's soul.

I don't know what this feeling is but maybe I might be falling for Mayzie. Is that insane? Is it possible for me to like Mayzie and also like Horton? I have never felt so conflicted before... ever in my life!
