Hello, everybody, I have returned after over a year and a half of literally nothing on this site and I have returned with an all new story! I gave up on my Slayamaniacs series for now because frankly I just got bored of it at the moment but I'll tries and get round to that another time but for the meantime, I have written an all new crossover fanfic for The Vicar of Dibley and The Wombles!
By the way, this story is dedicated to Emma Chambers, who unfortunately passed away on 21st Febuary 2018 due to a heart attack. I know that us Emma fans will all miss her terribly. Anyway, here is chapter one. Enjoy!
The Wombles of Dibley.
Summary: Alice was always a huge fan of The Wombles but what if she actually came across a few of them? When Alice does come across a few Wombles, she tries to convince the Dibley Parish Council and everyone else in Dibley to believe in them and help them in their quest to keeping Britain and the rest of the world tidy.
Chapter 1: Underground, Overground!
Somewhere in the middle of England, there was a town called Dibley, where a cast of colourful characters lived. There was Geraldine Granger, who is the Vicar of that little village. Owen Newitt, who tends to get on "too well" with his animals. Jim Trott, who most of the time tends to dither alot. Frank Pickle, who is just boring due to his long speeches and stories. David Horton, who always bosses everyone around just because he's the one in charge. Hugo Horton, who is David's loyal son and tries to respect his father's wishes unless his wishes get out of hand. And finally, there was Alice Tinker-Horton, who is more different than everyone else in Dibley. It's probably due to her beliefs in silly things and the fact that she may not be that smart. She was also married to Hugo, who is the only one who believes in the things that she believes in.
Alice was walking around Dibley when she heard some noise in Dibley's park near the church. She went over and found what she believed to be... Wombles! Alice recognised them from tv. She was a big fan of The Wombles. She enjoyed the tv series, the albums, and the movie they starred in.
"Oh my God!" Alice thought as she watch them as they tidyed up the park, "I can't believe that they really do exist!"
Alice watch them for a good long hour, watching them picking each piece of rubbish in their way in order to leave the park clean and tidy. After they were done, she saw The Wombles go back into their burrow, where they lived. But when all of them were gone, Alice noticed that there was still a Womble sleeping under a tree. She thought she better go over and wake him up so he can catch up to the others. She went over and shook him slightly to wake him up.
"Excuse me." Alice said to the Womble.
As he woke up, the Womble yawned and stretched his arms just when he saw Alice.
"Oh, good morning." The Womble said as he yawned, "Who are you?"
The Womble was wearing a brown hat and red scarf. Just like the other Wombles, he had a pointy snout and white fur all over.
"I'm Alice. Are you really Orinoco?" Alice asked him.
The young Womble looked surprised, "Why yes I am? I guess you got that from that 70s television series?"
"Yes I did but how come you're here and not in Wimbledon?" Alice asked.
"We needed to get away for a while because there were all these joggers above our burrow so we decided to come here." Orinoco said.
"You know, ever since you guys started on tv, I always wondered why it's always all of you who has to clean up after us humans?" Alice said.
"Because they never listen to us," Orinoco told her, "Uncle Bulgaria says that the humans never achknowledges our existance."
Then, an idea sparked inside Orinoco's mind, an idea which he thinks is sure to work.
"Hey, why don't you tell the humans?" Orinoco asked Alice.
"Me?" Alice asked, "You want me to tell everyone in Dibley that you exist?"
Alice thought about over times that she told her friends about her beliefs and they all ended up not believing her but due to the fact that she wasn't very bright, she ignored it and thought "200th time the charm!"
"Okay, I'll do it!" Alice said loud and proud.
"That's great, Alice!" Orinoco said, happily.
After a moment of silence, Alice spoke up to Orinoco.
"Anyway, your friends have gone inside now," Alice said, "I think you should catch up to them, it might be your lunchtime."
The sound of lunch perked Orinoco right up as he ran for his lunch, "Oh boy, lunch! I hope we're having Buttercup Crumpets today! Bye Alice! Don't forget to tell your friends and everyone else in Dibley about us Wombles!"
"I won't!" Alice called back, "Bye, Orinoco!"
Alice ran off to the Vicarage, on a mission to tell people that Wombles do exist and that they need their help.
Looks like Alice is going to need alot more than just telling everyone what she saw to make them believe. I'll probably upload the next chapter sometime tonight if I'm not too tired. See you next time!
