Prologue: A Shift Of Responsibility

July 4, 3015

It was the morning of Independence Day in the United States of Canerica. In Washington DC, President Bert Raccoon was in charge of the country as usual. Along with his Cabinet members, his job was to oversee the affairs of the empire. His other job as the legendary member of the world-famous Time Toon Cops made his life even more easier. But on that particular day, there came the biggest challenge of all-poor Bert came down with a case of the common cold. No president would run an empire in such a condition, so he had to count on one person to help him run it for him until he gets better. That person...was his friend, vice-president Ralph Raccoon.

Ralph at this time led a happy and contented life, with two wives and six children. However, when Bert asked him to take over his job as president, he was shocked. Ralph asked, "Bert, are you out of your mind? I'm just a vice-president. I don't have any experience in ruling an empire!"

"Relax, it's just a temporary assignment," Bert assured him. "Besides, it won't be long before I get well enough to get back to my seat. So, until then, you're in charge for a while. I'm counting on you to do your job."

"Okay...I'll try. Oh, and by the way, I do hope you'll get better soon."

"Thanks, pal."

And so, with a deep breath and a sense of determination rising in his heart, Ralph went on to take on the temporary job of handling the government of Canerica until Bert can fully recover from that terrible cold. But what he didn't know is that he would soon set out on the biggest adventure in his entire life-an adventure he would never forget.
