DISCLAIMER: I don't own Billy Hatcher nor any other characters in the series. All I own are the plot ideas that don't appear in the game and the OCs. Very well, let's begin!


"Crap! Didn't know it was this late! Why did my alarm stop TODAY? They're really going to be yapping this time!"

Billy Hatcher could be considered a pretty much normal kid, who got average grades at school, was average at sports…and was late sometimes. After waking up to see that his alarm clock had run out of battery, he stormed out of his house without even having a proper breakfast (just an egg and some milk), all in order to meet his friends. It was Saturday, and the morning looked…very sunny indeed.

After running for a few minutes, Billy found himself in the clearing which is his (and his friends') favorite place to play. The first thing he saw when he arrived was an egg-shaped timer, still ticking.

"Aaaaand…JUST half an hour late! New record!" The comment came from a small boy with red hair and purple eyes, one of Billy's friends. He was named Chick Poacher, and his sharp tongue was one of his trademarks...along with the fact that he was shorter than anyone else...at town. Still, he was a great friend.

"Lemme' guess…that alarm clock failed AGAIN?" This time it was a larger kid, named Bantam Scrambled, who was the one holding the had brown hair and eyes. Because of his gentleness (despite his size, which was sort of intimidating for most people), he was one of Billy's best friends, along with Chick and…

"(Sigh) Billy, you REALLY need to stop being late." Said a soft voice, which belonged to a girl with orange hair…Rolly Roll, who was known for being a VERY caring person, especially for her closest friends. Right now her green eyes were filled with concern. It was certainly not the first time Billy was late like that.

"Uh…sorry guys..." Billy said, now surrounded by his friends. He knew no excuse would work. But then…

"Guys, what's that sound?" Billy asked.

"Please! You really think this kind of lame excuse will work with us?" Chick responded.

"No, I'm serious!"

"Right. And I'm the tallest basketball player in the world…"

"Chick, wait a second. I think I hear something too" It was Rolly this time. Just then, the last thing they expected to see came out of the woods.

A chick. But a chick the size of a small child. It had several scratches in its body, and it stumbled a bit before collapsing on the ground. After a brief moment, Billy saw, right above them, what had done that much damage to the chicken. A pair of crows, cawing evily in the top branch of a nearby tree.

The next events happened in a split second. One of the crows flew down in direction of the chicken, but before it could land a blow, Billy grabbed a stick from the ground and smacked the crow in the head. Billy's friends were in complete awe, still trying to understand the situation.

After that, the crow, surprisingly unaffected by the beatdown, got up and flew away. However, something even more surprising happened next.

"U-um…do you think that little chick is okay?" Rolly asked.

"What PART of it is little? That thing is bigger than me!" Chick shouted.

Bantam started laughing. "It's not like you're an example of tallness, Chick." The other boy simply huffed in response.

Billy started to approach the chick very quietly, so that he wouldn't startle it. However, just when he was millimeters from it…the chick began to shine brightly, and the four friends were engulfed in the glow…


UPDATE: Rewrote a few things in this chapter. Hope it has become a little bit better. Anyway, next time, Billy begins his adventure! What will he find in his path? Wait next chapter to find out (yes, I'm also planning to rewrite it)
