Author's note: Hi there everybody! Welcome to my first (to be completed) official fanfic of anything ever! Pretty crazy! This story is still in the works, but I got too excited, so I'm going to start posting it now! I don't know my timeline as far as posting the chapters will go, but hopefully you guys won't have to wait too terribly long between uploads! (Maybe a week at a time?). Anyway, feedback is always welcome... especially if I goof something up on formatting and whatnot! I've never used this site before so I'm not really sure how it all works. Guess I'll find out as I go along! Enjoy~!
It was another day on the job. Agent Otto and Agent Olive had just arrived on the scene of their next case for "Odd Squad"- the agency that they worked for. Odd Squad was an organization run by kids that investigated anything strange, weird, and especially odd. It was their job to put things right again. The team had been informed by their leader, Ms. O, that there was some bizarre activity in a nearby neighborhood and had been sent from headquarters to help. Olive and Otto exited a portal connecting the two locations and stepped into a lush, green backyard, which they surveyed until their gaze fell upon a teenage boy that was waving them over.
"Odd Squad! Thank goodness you're here!" He sighed in relief. The pair of agents jogged over.
"We came as fast as we could, Sir! What seems to be the trouble?" Otto questioned. His attention turned to an object that the boy gestured to.
"It's my lawnmower." The teen explained, ruffling his hair in confusion. "Every time I try to start it up, this happens!" He tugged on the cord that normally would cause the machine to roar to life, but the mower didn't respond in the way the agents expected. Instead, the device let out the sound of a party horn while simultaneously blasting a cloud of confetti out into the air like a canon. The agents jumped in surprise.
"Whoa!" They exclaimed in unison. The teen chuckled nervously.
"Yeah, it was fun for a while…" he admitted. "… but my parents will be home soon and I've really gotta finish my chores before they get back!"
"Not a problem." Olive said cooly. The girl reached into her back pocket and pulled out a small handheld gadget. "This looks like a job for our 'Too-Much-Partyinginator'." Carefully, she pointed the object at the lawnmower and pressed a button. A beam of light shot out and spread over the mower in waves, then died down.
"Try it now." Olive suggested. The teen cautiously leaned in and yanked on the rope. After a bit of sputtering, the machine roared to life and was back to normal.
"Alright! Awesome!" He shouted, throwing his fists up in celebration. "Thanks Odd Squad!"
"Happy to help." Olive nodded. "Let's go, Partner!" She and Otto turned and sprinted back to the portal, which had somehow decided to place itself in a birdbath. The two jumped in and disappeared in a blue flash of light, not even touching the water. Right as they departed, the teenager took a good look around the yard and his face fell as he came to a sudden realization.
"Aw man… Now I've gotta mow the lawn AND clean up confetti! How am I gonna get all of this done in time?!"
