Hello again, readers! For those of you new here, please read the first PVZTV before coming here. I'll wait… for a while…

For those of you that read the original, this continues where we left off, and I wanted to start with something exciting! I thought about giving Allstar a tank, which would be hilarious, but sadly it doesn't fit in with the story. So this is the next best thing!

Chapter 1: Peashooter VS Cabbage-pult

Peashooter walked through the mist, tired. It was his birthday, but it didn't feel like it. January was almost over already. The day hadn't been good. All his friends had forgotten that it was his birthday. At least, it seemed they had. Peashooter knew they probably were planning a surprise party when Peashooter got back home. Threepeater hadn't gotten Peashooter a present, and was mad at him for some reason. Nothing was really going right.

Peashooter turned the corner on the street and bumped into Cabbage-pult, as if it couldn't get worse. Peashooter sighed and got up. Cabbage-pult glared at Peashooter and punched him in the face.

"Look where you're going. I thought you could at least walk, but apparently I was wrong."

"Well, add that to the long list of things you're wrong about."

Peashooter expected, Cabbage-pult to retaliate, but he didn't expect him to give him a black eye. That's new. Peashooter fell back as Cabbage-pult glared down at him.

"Get moving, loser. And happy birthday. Here's a present."

Cabbage-pult picked Peashooter up and threw him, causing Peashooter to slam into the pavement. Peashooter was bleeding lightly, but he still got back up. He couldn't see Cabbage-pult, but Peashooter knew that he wasn't done.

"That, that all you've got?"

Peashooter then was smacked in the face with a cabbage, sending him back onto the floor. He heard Cabbage-pult laugh.

"I have much worse for you. Don't expect to get off so easily next time."

Peashooter didn't respond. He was in too much pain. Getting up, Peashooter started to go home, limping.

Peashooter almost made it to the door before collapsing in pain. He groaned, looking back at the droplets of blood he had left behind. There were a lot. The mist started to thicken, and Peashooter shivered in the cold. He didn't notice a faint orange glow in the distance, which got closer and closer. Before the glow got too close, Peashooter fainted.

Peashooter woke up in the squad house, resting on the couch. He felt sore all over. But, shouldn't he have an ice pack on his black eye? Groaning, Peashooter tried to sit up.

"Don't do that. You're covered in bruises. What the heck happened to you?"

Peashooter's eyes widened as he recognized that voice.

"Scorch? How'd you get in here?"

"You had a key on you. And, if I'm saving your life, it doesn't count as breaking and entering."

Peashooter smiled and closed his eyes. Scorch stood next to Peashooter and examined his bruises.

"Nothing too bad, except that black eye. What happened to you?"

"I got in a fight."

"And they beat you up this badly? Bleeding, black eye, who is this guy?"

"Some plant named Cabbage-pult."

"Ok, when you're better, I want you to watch me burn him to a crisp."

"I think I'll pass. Is no one else here?"

"Nope."

Peashooter frowned. They had forgotten it was his birthday. Some birthday. Sighing, he tried to fall asleep.

"Thanks, Scorch."

"No prob."

Peashooter fell asleep, and Scorch waited on the recliner for someone to arrive. He wanted to get back to the army ASAP, but no one came for a few hours. Scorch himself almost fell asleep when someone came home.

"What the- Scorch?"

Scorch turned to see Chomper, Sunflower and Wallnut carrying shopping bags full of birthday decorations.

"Hey, you're that chomper who yelled from the roof. Nice to meet you. Also, shh! Peashooter's asleep right now. I'll tell you guys what happened."

After they set the decorations in Chomper's room, they gathered around Scorch, who told them what happened. Chomper and Wallnut were angry, while Sunflower was aghast. Sunflower looked at Peashooter, still covered in bruises, his black eye standing out.

"And Cabbage-pult did this?"

Scorch nodded. Sunflower closed her eyes and sighed. Scorch looked back and forth between Sunflower and Peashooter a couple times before shrugging.

"I guess I'll be off, then."

Scorch left, the mist still there. Chomper started to put up decorations, and Sunflower joined him. Wallnut sat on the recliner, watching Peashooter sadly.

Peashooter woke up almost an hour later, to see birthday decorations all around the room. Sitting up slowly, he smiled happily. Wallnut saw Peashooter wake up and bounced in excitement.

"You're awake!"

Peashooter nodded, then recoiled as his head throbbed in pain. Wallnut was concerned as Peashooter sat back. Chomper and Sunflower walked over to Peashooter, Sunflower sitting next to him.

"You ok?"

Peashooter tried to nod, but it hurt his head more. Chomper smiled sadly.

"Head hurts, huh?"

"Yeah. I'm fine, though."

Chomper sighed and shook his head.

"Peashooter, no. You're not fine."

"Yes I am."

To prove his point, Peashooter sat up. This was a bad idea, and Peashooter winced as pain throbbed across his head. Sunflower looked at Peashooter, unimpressed.

"Listen to your friends, Peashooter! We just want to help."

"Fine."

Peashooter lay back down, annoyed. Chomper examined his bruises and sighed angrily.

"If I ever see that low-life again, he be in a way worse state than this. I'll make sure of it."

Sunflower slapped Chomper in the back of the head. Peashooter rolled his eyes.

/Four hours later…

Peashooter sat on the couch still, but he was a lot better. Decorations lined the house. Chomper and Wallnut both waited patiently with their presents as they waited for Sunflower to come out of her room. Eventually, she did. The trio each gave their presents to Peashooter, who accepted gratefully.

Chomper had gotten him a small photo album of the four of them doing things together, and also he gave him an SD card for his camera. Wallnut got Peashooter a radio and a few CDs of some music Peashooter liked.

When Sunflower gave Peashooter a small box, he opened it and smiled widely. Inside was a patch like the ones Peashooter had given out, this one was a small peashooter emblem. Peashooter picked up the patch in wonder.

"How'd you get this?"

Sunflower smiled mischievously.

"Oh, I have my ways. Also, that's not all."

Peashooter was confused, and he looked back in the box. The patch had covered the other gift. Peashooter's eyes widened and he dropped the patch. Sunflower's smile widened as Peashooter reached in and pulled out a gold necklace with a peashooter charm on it.

"Didn't think the patch was enough, so…"

Peashooter put on the necklace. He smiled, admiring its shine. Chomper and Wallnut stood, shocked. Peashooter picked up the patch and looked at his friends, smiling widely.

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

Then he pulled all of them into a big group hug. And Peashooter was so happy that tears entered his eyes.

/Later…

Peashooter sat on the roof, examining his new necklace. The fog had cleared, and the sunset was casting an orange glow on the gold. Peashooter was still smiling, still grateful to all his friends. This birthday wasn't so bad after all…

/The next morning…

Peashooter yawned as he woke up. Reaching to his nightstand, he grabbed his necklace and put it on. He had decided to wear it all the time, unless he was on a mission. Speaking of which, L.E.A.F. had assigned the squad a mission on the weekend. But Peashooter didn't care. Getting up, he stretched and went out.

Walking through the park, Peashooter was strangely at peace. He hadn't felt this good since, well, ever. Humming a song from one of the CDs Wallnut gave him, Peashooter came to a large tree. A small message was carved into it.

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

"And I'll start with killing you."

Peashooter turned and saw Cabbage-pult on a tree branch behind him. Cabbage-pult sneered at him, then he noticed the necklace.

"Oh, since I beat you up so much, you got some bling as consolation. It would be a shame if you never saw it again…"

Peashooter glared at Cabbage-pult, getting ready to fight. Cabbage-pult yawned and tossed a cabbage at a dangerously high speed. Peashooter didn't move until it was inches away from him, then he caught it with one pod. Cabbage-pult looked at Peashooter in shock, then he reverted to his sneer.

"So you're more prepared, eh? Fine. Maybe you'll provide an amusing challenge before your death."

"Killing me? I know you hate me, but that's going too far."

"You don't know how far I'll go to get revenge."

"Revenge for what?"

"Enough talk. DIE!"

Cabbage-pult threw multiple cabbages in a spinning rage. Losing his balance, he fell off the tree branch. Peashooter shot down some cabbages and caught most of the others, only a couple hitting him. Peashooter then stormed towards Cabbage-pult, who glared back with cold, rage-filled eyes.

"That necklace. All it'll be is a golden blotch on your bloody corpse."

"When did you get this insane? You'd murder me?"

"Better this way than the other."

Peashooter narrowed his eyes as Cabbage-pult advanced menacingly. Cabbage-pult grabbed Peashooter's necklace, trying to break it, but Peashooter kicked Cabbage-pult in the face and blocked him with his pod.

Cabbage-pult tripped Peashooter and slammed his head repeatedly into the grass. Peashooter then picked up Cabbage-pult and threw him into the tree. As Cabbage-pult got up, he noticed that he was bleeding. Peashooter raised an eyebrow as Cabbage-pult looked at the ground. Then, Cabbage-pult looked up with an evil grin and threw the largest, fastest cabbage he ever had. It was easily as big as Cabbage-pult himself. And it collided with Peashooter's face.

Peashooter flew back into a tree and lay there, unconscious. Cabbage-pult staggered towards him and grabbed the necklace.

"You and your fancy bling. You don't get what others' lives are like, do you?"

"Cabbage-pult?"

Cabbage-pult froze as Sunflower came up behind him. Sunflower saw Peashooter and let out a small gasp. Cabbage-pult swore quietly and let go of the necklace. Sunflower wouldn't look at Cabbage-pult. Cabbage-pult sighed.

"It's not what you think…"

"No. It's exactly what Chomper's been telling me this whole time."

Sunflower glared at Cabbage-pult and clenched her leaves.

"You are the bad guy here. I thought you did this unintentionally. But now, everything in me that cared about you…"

Sunflower closed her eyes as tears formed. She started to radiate solar power, which was not a good sign. Opening her eyes, they were no longer black, but a burning yellow. Cabbage-pult stepped back, heartbroken and afraid. His sadness did nothing to calm down Sunflower. She shot a single sun pulse at him, and it burned Cabbage-pult. Sunflower, realizing what she was doing, stopped. Cabbage-pult looked at Sunflower sadly.

"I'm sorry."

"You should be."

Peashooter sat up and groaned. Sunflower and Cabbage-pult looked at him as he opened his eyes. Seeing their expressions, Peashooter was confused.

"What?"

Sunflower turned to Cabbage-pult and glared. Peashooter was confused, but he got up weakly and blocked Sunflower.

"Sunflower, what are you doing?"

"She just tried to kill me."

Peashooter's eyes widened and he stepped back in fear. Sunflower sighed and glared at Cabbage-pult again. Peashooter scratched his head in confusion.

"So, I guess plant killing plants is common now?"

"I wouldn't count on it."

"You tried KILLING HIM?!"

"Well, yes, but…"

Sunflower tried to punch Cabbage-pult, but Peashooter took the blow for him. Peashooter groaned as he was hit, but didn't care. Sunflower and Cabbage-pult were surprised. Sunflower started to yell at him.

"What's wrong with you? You hate Cabbage-pult!"

"Yeah, but I won't let you hurt him. I like to reserve that right for myself in self-defense."

"And, uh, I kinda have to kill Peashooter if I want to live."

Sunflower and Peashooter turned to Cabbage-pult, eyes wide. Cabbage-pult awkwardly stepped back, scratching his head.

"Yeah, can we forget this ever happened?"

Peashooter nodded, but Sunflower narrowed her eyes.

"You won't weasel your way out of this. I'm going to make sure of that. I think I'll get the police."

"Uh, Sunflower? Technically they can arrest you, too. You assaulted Cabbage-pult. So, police isn't the best idea."

Cabbage-pult had left while the two were talking, and Sunflower wasn't happy about that. Peashooter shrugged and went home.

And now Sunflower hates Cabbage-pult too! Or does she? She probably does. But anyways, I illustrated a scene from this and put it on Deviant Art! (Not sure if I spelled that right.) So, if you wanna see it, go to Militaily Cattail on Deviant Art. But before you do, I'm not an artist. So try not to laugh. Anywho, seeya!
