Banjo-Kazooie: Breeguls and Witches and Bears, Oh My!
Chapter 1- How It Began
Twenty-five years ago, Tango, a strapping young honey bear, was at a disco ball in the city. He was a shy young bear; this was his first time at a dance, and he didn't have a date. 17 years old and still in high school, Tango had never had a girlfriend, and was hoping to meet someone special at this dance. His friends urged him to come, but he felt bitter because they all had girlfriends and he didn't. His hopes finally ended up convincing him to attend this dance, and he forced himself to believe that he would leave it with a girl on his arm.
After two hours of bad disco, crazy dancing, and an overly exhausting parade of pretty girls walking by him with guys on their arms, Tango was about ready to leave, disgusted and depressed at the fact that he hadn't walked up to a single girl. Just as he was about to stand up and slip out the back door, he caught a young woman's eye.
"Tango?" the pretty young honey bear called, in such a sweet voice that Tango stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around to face the source of this unbelievable voice, and saw who it was: Melody, the girl he'd had a crush on for four years. She was the prettiest honey bear in his school, and he had never spoken to her in his life, but he sure had an eye for her. He was so shocked that he'd called out his name that he forgot everything for a moment; he wanted to pinch himself, but even his dreams weren't this good.
"Yes?" uttered the astonished honey bear. It took Melody a moment to reply, as if she were as nervous as Tango was. But Tango would never in a million years believe that anybody could be more nervous than he was at that moment.
"Um..." the bombshell bear began. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure," Tango stuttered. He sat down next to Melody, his heart pounding like a bass drum. "What is it?"
"Well..." she ran a paw through her long hair and continued. "You and I have been going to school together our whole lives, and we've never shared a word. I've been thinking, maybe it was time to change that." Tango was stupefied. He couldn't believe it! The cutest honey bear he'd ever seen, and she wanted to get to know him! This had to be a dream, but he wouldn't dare pinch himself now. "If this is a dream," he thought, "I hope I never wake up."
"I'd like to get to know you too, Melody," Tango admitted. Feeling incredibly bold, he decided to tell her something he'd wanted to tell her for years. "Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"You have to promise not to laugh or anything..." Tango was already embarrassed, but there was no way he was going to pass up such a chance!
"Why would I laugh? You can tell me. I promise I won't laugh."
Tango's heart was beating so hard, he thought everybody in the building must be able to hear it, if not feel it. However, despite his obvious nervousness, he began. "Well, I think..." this was so hard for him. He'd never told any girl anything like this in his whole life! "I think you're very pretty, Melody. I've always thought so."
Melody's face lit up at that, which greatly pleased Tango, who expected her to run away and/or throw punch in his face. "Thank you, Tango...that's so sweet of you." There was silence between them for a ten-count, but she added, "I've always thought you were very cute, too. You're so quiet and seem so intelligent...you might say you're mysterious...you leave a lot to be discovered." Tango was more thrilled than words could ever say. It was as if he'd won the lottery, and a naked supermodel had handed him the money. He couldn't think of any words to say, but his eyes said all that needed to be said. Melody's light brown face turned a shade of pink, as if she were embarrassed as Tango was. In her eyes was the same look as that in Tango's...and at that moment, both of them completely forgot about everything else in the world, and focused entirely on each other, lost in their own minds, not sure what would happen next.
Tango didn't know what to think. "Ten minutes ago, I had no hope at all," Tango thought. "Now, my whole world has changed. What will happen? Is it real? Can this be true? Oh well, who am I to argue with a miracle?" He decided to break the silence. "Melody?"
"Yeah?" she whispered.
"Do you want to get out of here, to somewhere quiet?"
"You read my mind, Tango!" They both figured it would be easier to talk if they were away from all this high-velocity dance music and commotion. So, they both got up and went outside to the balcony. It was a clear, cool, starry night. Luckily bears have lots of fur, so they weren't very cold. There went Tango's chance to show his generosity by offering Melody his jacket.
Tango and Melody got to know each other very well that night, and became the best of friends. After a few weeks, they became more than friends, and eventually, after getting married and spending a few years together, they had their first and only son. They named him Banjo. Before young Banjo began going to school, they decided to move to the country, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, to a place called Spiral Mountain. Banjo went to pre-school, grew up, and became a handsome honey bear like his father. When Banjo was ten years old, his baby sister Tootie was born, who grew up to be an adorable and adventerous girl.
Twenty-five years have passed since the wonderful night in which Banjo's parents met at a loud disco ball in the city. Tango and Melody have since moved away to an even quieter place, far from Spiral Mountain. Banjo and Tootie, both liking exploring and adventuring, decided to stay on Spiral Mountain. They liked being alone...but that didn't last very long.
When Banjo and Tootie had lived on Spiral Mountain for only two months, a strange flock of breegul, a rare red-crested species of bird, swarmed over the land. All but one vanished: a lone breegul named Kazooie, an angry clucker with a vicious attitude and a very sharp, very loud beak. She knew nobody on this strange mountain, and had no idea how to get back home. When she came to, she had two strange bears, one small and cute, the other fat and stupid, standing over her. She tried to fly away, but was too woozy to remember how. The two strange bears took her into their home, fed her, and gave her a place to sleep. They all became best buddies in their little house, and they're all happy running around in the grass, climbing trees, and swimming (although Kazooie wasn't much of a swimmer). Their lives were quiet and free of incident...until...it...happened.
