1. And So it Begins

So... the site hasn't updated with Over the Garden Wall yet, so, until then, it will just be listed as a regular for now. OK, with that over with, please be nice about this, I'm starting a new story, and I hope that everybody likes it. I'll redo the whole thing if no-one likes it. Please try to enjoy this.

It was a nice, warm summer morning. Bluebirds were singing, and there seemed to only be smiles on everybody's faces. Well, maybe except Greg. He had just woken up, and he hated mornings. Not because the sun was in his eyes, or he felt stiff, but because he had dreamed about The Unknown and he was having some sort of adventure with Wirt and Beatrice, only to wake up and find out that this adventure was a dream.

Greg groaned. (which was very uncharacteristically) He said grumpily, "Wirt? Why do we have to wake up this early? It's not even seven yet!"

Wirt smiled a nice smile and said, "Because, we're going to the diner for potatoes and molasses, then we're going to the arcade for 2 hours, and then we're going to..." and before he could finish his sentence, Greg perked up and started to sing a shorter version of Potatoes and Molasses, "Oh potatoes and molasses. If you want some, oh, just ask us. They're warm and soft, like puppies in socks, filled with cream and candy rocks! Oh potatoes, and molasses!"

Greg just had an idea, and he said it out loud, "Hey Wirt! Why don't we go to that hill by that Beach-side town?"

"Fine, Greg. We'll go there instead." Wirt said, a bit disappointed, "But, Greg, what will we do there?"

Greg said that they would be watching the lake by the bottom of the hill, and that he would set Jason Funderberger free for a few minutes. He then put a red dog collar on his frog and Greg and Wirt went off.

Back at the Temple.

"Pearl? Why do we have to get up so early? I'm really tired from our last mission." Steven said, and too, a bit grumpily. But, little did he know, that he would be getting new freinds today.

Pearl grumbled. "Fine. You can stay here." Garnet smiled and just said, "Don't worry Steven. We'll be back in a few hours. Try to have fun." Amethyst giggled, and said, with a fun opportunity in her grasp, she said "Hey, can I stay with Steven for a bit? The shapeshifter doesn't need the three of us tackling it, right?"

Pearl grumbled once again. "No, Amethyst, you can't, the shapeshifter..." and before she could finish her sentence (which seems to be pretty common now.), Garnet said, as chill as possible, "OK, you can stay. Pearl, the shapeshifter isn't that bad, remember?" and then the two gems warped out.
