1. Chapter 1

"Larry-Boy and Brio-Girl" CHAPTER 1

The day is peacefull and slow in the usually bustling city of Bumblyburg. A perfect day to do anything at all. Like a picnic in Bumbly park, which is exactly
what Larry the cucumber is doing with the girl of his dreams, Petunia Rhubarb. On top of a large grassy hill overlooking the remote wooded area, it would've been perfect, if only Larry wasn't so
nervous and jittery.

"Nice day, isn't it?" Petunia said.

"Uh, y-y-yeah. It's such a beautiful day. Nothin' happining. It's nice and slow. We should do something," Larry said quickly.

"We are doing something."

"Oh."

Larry was having a hard time controlling himself, especially since he had been saving the city the night before as Larry-Boy, the
town's fearless defender, from a giant robotic squid and hadn't gotten home until the middle of the night. Alfred, his friend and
butler, had had to force him out of bed and give him a heaping dose of caffine just to get him out the door. This would have
been a great idea to wake him up, if the sugar didn't make him so hyped up.

"Why don't we eat?" Larry said. "Alfred-I mean, I put some great stuff in the basket. What do you feel in the mood for?"

"Squid!"

"Well, I don't think I think there's any sushi in here, but-"

"No, I mean actuall squid!"

Larry turned to find the large mechanical squid staring him in the face. Apparently, flipping the off switch hadn't been enough to stop
it, and since he had been so tired that he forgot his supersuit that morning, he thought of the only thing he could do.

"RUN!"

As they sped down the hill, the squid was quickly catching up to them. Before the squid could grab them, they ran behind a
boulder and closed their eyes, not knowing what was going to happen. But what happened was far from what Larry expected.
He opened his eyes and saw the shadows of the squid and another figure fighting it. When the noises stopped, they both came
out and saw the squid now as a pile of metal. Petunia breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad that's over. I knew Larry-Boy would come and save us."

But Larry wasn't relieved. He knew that Larry-Boy hadn't saved them because, well, he was Larry-Boy. He knew that someone
else had saved them, and he knew he had to find out who it was, if they were good, and if he needed to start looking for...
a new job.
