I actually got this idea when I remembered a certain episode from this series and decided to give it a go. If people like it, I'll continue. And if they don't? Well, it was fun while it lasted. All I ask is that you give it a chance and keep an open mind.

Experimental Prologue
In the haunted town of Endsville, a young man was walking home from a long and emotionally tiring day at high school. This young man has a lightly tanned skin tone, reddish orange hair, and brown eyes that have the appearance of just being holes in his face. He also has a ridiculously big pink honker that he calls a nose. The young man is currently wearing his school uniform, a white dress shirt left untucked, blue pants, and a pair of red and white sneakers. What sets him apart from the other kids, however, is the dark red baseball cap he's often seen wearing on his head.
"Ugh, what a day this has been. Spurg really needs to learn how to lighten up when it comes to his bullying. I mean, really! Wedgies, no problem, can easily be cured with medical salve and a change of underwear. Wet willies? Had them, easy to dry and disinfect with tissues and a cotton swab. Being stuffed in my own locker for hours on end? Not too bad, the janitor always lets me out before I'm late for history class. But cornering me outside the school and slashing me across the chest with a knife during lunch just to steal my money!? WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO!?" the boy said to himself, shouting his question at the end.
This boy is simply called Billy, and he's seventeen years old now and in high school. Though, unlike his father, he doesn't go around trying to be popular when he's not. And unlike his highly obese father, Billy is built more like an olympic runner after having decided to take his diet and exercise more seriously. Much to the surprise of those who knew him. As a result, he's built with lean and compact muscles and is obviously tall for his age, standing at six feet seven inches tall. He's certainly not overly muscular, and he does have a noticeable six-pack of abs. If not for that schnoz he'd be getting looks from all the ladies.
But more to the point, he's referring to earlier at lunch where the school bully and local juvenile delinquent, Spurg, and his gang cornered Billy outside the cafeteria at lunch and attacked him for his money. Spurg pulled out a pocket knife he'd kept hidden on his person and slashed Billy across the chest, cutting deep and causing Billy to need to see the nurse. Thankfully, the wound was easy for the nurse to sew up and as long as he took it easy for a little while, he'd be fine.
Spurg and his flunkies, on the other hand, had been arrested for charges of attempted murder, theft, and unprovoked assault. And those are just a few of the charges. And now, Billy is walking home to recover after school let out. He arrived in less time than he thought it would take with the injuries he sustained.
Upon entering his house, Billy made his way to the stairs that lead up to the upper level where his room is located. He just wants to get some sleep and try to forget this whole rotten day. But as he was passing the kitchen, he heard something.
"...I think it might be best for Billy." said a woman's voice.
One that Billy easily recognized and caused him to stop in his tracks.
"That sounds like mom." Billy said to himself.
He peeked into the kitchen and saw that his mom was sitting at the dining room table with his dad. Both were nursing cooling cups of coffee in their hands and looked like they were having a serious conversation. And from what Billy caught earlier, it was about him.
Billy's dad, Harold, looks an awful lot like he does, only he has black hair instead of being a redhead and is quite fat. Ninety seven percent fat, one might say. And his mother, Gladys, is the one who Billy gets his hair color from. If there's one thing someone can say about Billy's mom, it's that she's the absolute picture of a stereotypical housewife.
But, back to their conversation.
"I don't know, honey. I mean, I know that our son doesn't have the best of lives here in Endsville, especially with what the school called us about today, but do you really think just up and moving is the only solution there is? And enrolling him in military school of all things!? Why that!?" Harold asked.
"Harold, listen! It's just not safe for anyone to be living in Endsville anymore! What happened to Billy today is a perfect example of that! So I say we should move away from this wretched town and live someplace safer! Sure, he's got friends like Irwin who still live here in Endsville, and I know he might miss them for a little bit, but Billy's a big boy! He'll get over it!" Gladys exclaimed. 'And keep my son as far away from that blonde harlot and that cursed skeleton as physically possible!'
"And the part about enrolling him in military school? What's that part all about?" Harold asked.
"Billy's obviously quite physically fit, but he lacks much of the discipline that a person needs to be a successful adult like you are. And the only way to get that is with military training. I'm enrolling him tomorrow morning, and that's that!" Gladys exclaimed.
But unknown to her, Billy heard the entire one sided conversation and snuck up to his room to pack. There's no way he's staying in this house if he's going to be forced to leave Endsville and all his friends behind. Even though he and Mandy aren't really friends anymore. He packed up his clothes, he packed tools, his toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, his collection of Dinobonoids, even a whole ham he had stashed away in there!
He cleaned out that closet as quick as a flash, and hid his suitcase in the one place in his room that nobody would think to look for it. Behind the very same wall that Mandy had kept him sealed behind when her house was being fumigated due to his stink bomb. Which, now that he thinks about it, wasn't one of his better creations. He could have at least left out the raw sewage.
'I'll leave when mom and dad are asleep tonight. It won't be hard for me to just walk out of the house and leave for good, because those two sleep like bears in hibernation.' Billy thought to himself in one of those rare times his brain is actually in use.
And so, Billy got ready. For tonight, he's embarking on a journey the likes of which not even the Grim Reaper himself could send him on.
