Chapter 1: LOVE?

A warm spring day was in the town of where our favorite veggies lived. The veggie children were playing in the park, Larry the Cucumber was working on a new silly song, Bob the Tomato was looking over a script for a new show, Jimmy and Jerry Gourd hanging out at an ice cream parlor (go figure) just a typical day. But something else was going on too, Archibald Asparagus was at home looking through his old scrapbook on things from past VeggieTales shows he had previously preformed in such as Dave and the Giant Pickle, Where's God when I'm S-Scared and so on but he came across a page of his book that contained pictures from the Larry's Lagoon segment on God Wants Me to Forgive Them!? and he saw a picture of a person he had not seen for a very long time, Lovey.

He just stared at the photograph for about five minutes as memories began to go through his mind, such as working with her on the set on Larry's Lagoon, but what he remembered the most was the dancing they did on the story of Flibber-o-Loo. While they were dancing to the song Archibald could have sworn that he felt a little connection between him and Lovey but he did not let that get in the way of his acting. He shook his head out of the thought. Then his doorbell rang. When Archibald answered the door he saw no one. "I'm down here vegetable buddy" said a voice that was heard below Archie. It was none other than Khalil the Caterpillar.(well that is only half true but we all know that) "Oh, hello Khalil." said Archie still dazed from that little moment. "Are you alright?" said Khalil. The question went unanswered for Archie was still in his dazed position. "Um Archie...Hello.." said Khalil. By now Khalil was getting annoyed. "Archie...wake up. SNAP OUT OF IT!!". Archibald screamed and got out of his dazed look. "Oh..ah..sorry Khalil I don't know where I went there. Please come in." said Archibald. Khalil walked in and he saw the scrapbook that Archie was looking at a few minutes ago and as soon as he saw the picture of Archie and Lovey he started giggling. "What's so funny?" asked Archie.

"I just figured out why you were acting strange just a few moments ago" said Khalil "And what would be the reason Khalil" said Archibald a little annoyed. "You were struck vegetable buddy, Love Struck!" Khalil said and surpassed another giggle. Archie gave Khalil the 'you're crazy' look. "I am not!!" said Archibald "Yes you are Archie. I can tell. Insight runs very deep in my family. So who is this beautiful young asparagus?" said Khalil as he looked at the photograph. Archibald sighed "Her name is Lovey. She performed in a couple of VeggieTales shows several years ago." he said. "Oh" said Khalil "She is quite lovely my friend don't you think?" Khalil said. "Well yes she is, but I haven't seen or heard from her for a long time and I doubt that she remembers me at all." said Archibald trying to convince himself from losing it again. "Who knows vegetable buddy? Maybe she does remember you. She might even miss you" said Khalil "Why would she miss me?" said Archie "I'm... I'm...oh I don't know" he said stressfully "That's right Archie you don't know. That is why you should find out if Lovey remembers you. I'm sure her phone number is in the phone book." said Khalil as he looked for a phone book. "You know Khalil, you're making it sound like I'm actually in love with her." said Archibald. "Well are you?" asked Khalil "Because it is not up to me to know if you are in love or not. It is up to you." Archie thought about what his friend said for a moment. "I...I don't know."

"That is why you should find out my friend" said Khalil as he found a phone book on a desk and he began to leave the house. "Where are you going?" asked Archie confusedly "I going to leave the rest up to you vegetable buddy." said Khalil as he walked out the front door leaving Archibald Asparagus alone with his thoughts, a phone book, and his scrapbook.
