Chapter One

This was becuase Billy Jobs was on his way to light fireworks for the Giant, KAPOW Cake Party.

Billy walked up to the front door of his house. His home was made in a centuries old lighthouse, which was rather odd since there was not an ocean or lake close by. He placed his hand into the pocket of his jeans and realized the keys were still in his house. It seemed he had bigger problems than just a misplaced bottle of root beer. He ran his hand through his blue dyed hair nervously and sighed. Just as he was about to walk away, to see if he could find the local locksmith, he heard a strange noise. Billy's hazel eyes lit up with great alarm as the strange noise viciously echoed through his once quiet surroundings. The peculiar, and very loud, noise sounded almost like a large animal roaring. It was indeed a large animal roaring, and its shadow was hovering over Billy.

Or at least it looked like a honey badger, a huge one the size of a horse to be exact. Billy stood still and stared at the monstrous creature unsure of what the appropriate reaction would be in this kind if situation. He tried not to scream as the creature's yellow eyes glared into his.

Billy looked around and saw his surroundings slowly fade and grow dimmer. He paniced as he turned to face  the honey badger who was munching away on some of the  chimichangas. The badger was unaware as the shadows absorbed it. Billy then woke up with a jolt and sleepily came to the conclusion it was all a dream. He rubbed his eyes and then let his gaze travel. He could tell he was in his bed, and he recognized the dark blue walls of his bedroom. "Ugh...I had that chimichanga badger dream again?" he mumbled lazily. Billy then threw off the covers of his bed and stumbled out ready to face the morning...probably. Just as his mind was starting to clear up from the early morning drowsy spell his cellphone started to ring.

Billy quickly fixed a cup of coffee for a measly breakfast substitute and ran out the door. As he sipped his coffee he realized he forgot the sugar in it. Just great, could his Monday morning get any better? Luckily Han's house was the next best thing to being next door. He could probably get there in ten minutes. Poor Han, he was very intelligent when it came to books but very poor at handling at stressful situations. The seventeen year old collage graduate was probably not handling the reality of a crushed house very well at all. Billy was grateful his odd lighthouse was taller and sturdier than any of the trees in their village. As he marched up the trail he spotted one of his other friends, a girl named Merriweather, who was known for her mysterious nature. She was always so serious and easily angered. Billy did not like her at all. She was always making snide remarks under her breath about how clueless, weird, and overly silly he was. She also did not like his blue hair, but she was probably jelous since she was born with some odd pigment condition that gave her gray hair early. At least her odd hair color and gloomy scowl completed her choice of attire for that morning, a t-shirt of grumpy cat. "Hey Blue Baboon," she called, well more like loudly whispered actually. That girl could hardly talk without her voice getting raspy, she was so distant that she probably went weeks without speaking. "What do you want Granny Hair?" Billy grumbled. Han needed him and now he had to deal with this weirdo first. 

(The new character's hair condition is inspired by I mean ripped off from a character from favorite Pokemon fan comic of mine. Her personality is inspired by Grumpy Cat..maybe? )

"Hector wait up! " Billy called. Who knew somebody with such short pudgey legs could go so fast? Hector guided him across the various wooded areas and grassy meadows that the path trailed through. Billy had better things to do than take in the lush summer scenery, but he could not help but enjoy the lovely warmness of the morning. "I can't believe you actually put your best pal's predicament on hold just so you can talk to your girl friend," Hectoer teased while he continued to jog just barely ahead of Billy, "it's a good thing I decided to run back and get you." Billy was not going to comment on his brother's girlfriend accusation. Him and Merriweather? He'd rather give up root beer before going on even a single date with that weirdo. When the two brothers finally arrived at Dr. Han's crushed abode, much to the horror of Billy, Merriweather was there looking around. "Hey! Whats the big idea?" Billy snapped at her. "I want to help toothpaste head," she spat. That was the loudest Billy had ever heard her voice go, and yet he could just barely hear what she said. " Wait what? Did you just tell me to 'go taste lead'?" Billy asked her angerly.

"If what Han said is true, he will be famous!" observed Hector. Merriweather and Billy both glared at Hector. "If Han is squashed by this tree, then his potential fame would mean nothing, now quit yapping and help me and 'grandma' get this pile of scrud wood off our chum!" grumbled Billy. Merriweather narrowed her eyes at the "grandma" remark, but shrugged it off and began looking around. Billy and Hector did the exact same thing. "How are we even supposed to move this thing with no equipment?" Hector groaned. "Maybe Merriweather can use her fangs to chew him out!" teased Billy. Merriweather's face turned even gloomier than usual for a moment, if that was even possible. They struggled to find anything helpful though, if only there was a nearby fire department or rescue team. Billy found an old, rusty ax laying around and was ready to present it to his peers. "Hey guys! I found something useful!" Billy cheerfully told them. "Well don't just stand there! Hit the tree with it," grumbled Merriweather.

Billy was very concerned for Dr. Han by now, so he ignored that remark and began chopping. He spotted something, it was not Dr. Han but a sparkly blue mushroom. The mushroom was unlike anything he ever seen before, it was almost as pretty as a jewl. He could not help but get the urge to pick one up. Before Billy knew what he was doing, he had a mushroom in his hand and was carefully observing it. "Put that down it's magical!" screamed  Merriweather. Billy didn't think it would be possible for her to scream like that. reality would shatter before her frail lungs could reach such a volume. "How on earth could this silly fungi be magical?" Billy snapped. Merriweather whispered gloomily, "becuase it just summoned a portal to another dimension!" Billy knew Merriweather was odd, but this was just too crazy even for her. He looked towards the direction where Merriweather was pointing, and sure enough, there was a blue glow that was already in the process of absorbing the remains of Dr. Han's house. Billy felt complete terror consume him and he let out a cream of terror. Not long after he started expressing his portal related  anxiety, his brother started to scream with him. They could not muster up the will power to run away though, and before they knew it they were absorbed  by the mysterious blue light. Billy was certain that blue was not his favorite color anymore. Before another thought filled with paralyzing fear  could enter his blue haired mind, the portal lulled him into a deep sleep. The last thing he realized before drifting off was that he forgot to take off his special edition, fuzzy pickachu pajamas.

"Billy? Billy?" Billy must have blacked out again after the portal disaster. He saw Dr. Han standing over him with his hand reached out towards him. "Billy you have to take a like at this! It's a scitentific miracle! A whole new dimension!" Dr. Han excitedly told him as he pulled Billy of the ground. Billy nervously looked around, this dimension seemed normal for the most part. If Billy didn't know better he would have thought this was his own forest. "Maybe this was is a dream like the Chimichunga badger," he suggested. Dr. Han gave Billy a weied look t the mention of the badger. Before the two could say another word to each other Hector, and Merriweather got up from the ground. It seems they also black out after the portal faded away. "What is going on here?" Hector half groaned. "I would like to know the same thing!" Said another voice in the shadows of the woods, "It is I Lilly, the Princess of the Flora Elf Tribe. You are trespassing on my people's land."

Princess Lilly looked confused for a moment, she cautiously stepped out from the shadows and carefully inspected the four strangers. Her ears were pointy just like a stereotypical elf, and her hair was long and evergreen colored. Her eyes were a strange reddish brown shade but her skin was a normal brownish tone. She was dressed in a royal looking light green robe of sorts, and had a crown of lilies woven together on her head. "that gray haired one, you seem firmililair. Merriweather...Ofcourse! You are that traitor that stole from me eons ago! Blast! I shall distroy you and your asosiates at once!" Merriweather gave out a fearful shriek and the three boys stared at her blankly.r Before another word could be said, Princess Lilly raised her hands into the air and out of nowhere vines began to wrap around them. "Merri?" Dr. Han asked. He was not able to say much else due to being paralyzed with fear. "Um..well what if I told you I was secretly a magical elf criminal from another dimension? Who used magical mushrooms to flee to the human world and took up the idenity of grumpy teenager to scare away bothersome humans?" she whispered shyly.
