Had this idea while we were out on a camping trip. If you guys have any ideas for stories that the characters talk about, let me know.
P.S. I ship Willow and Wilson A LOT. If you don't like the idea of those two together, either grin and bear it or leave now. Preferably the former. Please don't go. Please read. I'll give you cookies if you stay. :)
Don't Starve Anymore
Chapter 1
Willow flicked the starter for her lighter and watched with wonder as the small flame sprouted from her prized possession. After staring for a moment, she bent down and lit the pine needles on the bed of the fireplace. The fire started small, but soon grew to engulf the sticks and logs she and her friends had gathered for the campfire. She sat back and smiled in approval at her work.
"Never fails to impress." said Wilson, and the others nodded in agreement. "Good work, Willow."
Willow smiled at the gentleman scientist and scooted a little closer. "You're just saying that."
"Now why would I do that?"
"He IS a gentleman." said Wickerbottom. "It would be the gentlemanly thing to do."
"Well, I meant every word." said Wilson.
Willow blushed a small bit and leaned against him. "Thank you, Wilson."
It had been over three months since the group's escape from the terrible island that Maxwell had brought them to. The group was out in the woods on a camping trip, suggested by Woodie. Everyone was present, save for Webber, who wanted to stay home, and WX-78, who was deactivated long ago. There was also one more missing person...
"Hang on." said Wendy, looking around. "Where's uncle Maxwell and Charlie?"
"I don't know, sweetie." said Wickerbottom. "I think he may be late."
"Maxwell? Late?" Wigfrid began to laugh. "That old man's NEVER late! You want him to be somewhere, he gets there!"
"True." said Wilson. "It is strange of him to not show up."
"Once upon a time, we wouldn't WANT him to." said Willow. The others nodded, remembering their time on the horrid island.
"That was a long time ago." said Wilson. "He was just as much a prisoner as any one of us. It was THEM who ultimately brought us here."
Wolfgang shuddered as he remembered the shadow creatures. "Wolfgang hope no one goes to island again."
"I agree." said Wickerbottom. "That place is dangerous."
"Without Lucy, I never would have gotten out alive." said Woodie, looking down at his precious axe. Then he smiled and looked up at the others. "And not without you guys, either."
"Why thank you, Woodie." said Wendy, pulling him into a hug.
Willow looked up at Wilson and smiled. "And while I hate to admit it, that island brought some good things, too. I never would have met you, Mister Higgsbury."
Wilson smiled back and gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Right back at you, Willow."
"Aw, get a room, you two." said Wigfrid, drawing laughter from some of them.
"Wigfrid!" exclaimed Wickerbottom, whacking her upside the head with a book. "Have some respect for the lovebirds!"
"Yes, ma." Wigfrid said with a roll of her eyes, earning her another whack.
"You know," said Wilson, "Back on the island, there was a time when we all used to squabble and bicker like this. Even me and Willow, back before... you know."
"You two got hitched." said Wigfrid, once again causing Wickerbottom to whack her.
"Well, yes. But the point is that I agree with Willow. Without that island to bring us together, we never would have all become friends." He looked down at Willow. "And more."
Willow blushed a small bit and pecked Wilson on the lips in response.
"You know," said Woodie, "you never actually told us how you two met."
"Yeah." said Wigfrid. "How exactly did you two come to meet on that forsaken island?"
"Will you tell us, Wilson?" asked Wickerbottom.
"Yes, tell us!" said Wendy.
"Wolfgang like Wilson's stories." said Wolfgang, leaning forward.
Wilson looked down at Willow, who shrugged. "It's your call, love."
Wilson smiled and looked back around at his friends and companions. "It all began about three days after my arrival on the island..."
Have any ideas for how to explain Wilson and Willow's first encounter on the island? Was it while running from a Tallbird? One of them raiding the other's rabbit traps? While tracking down Beefalo? While fishing? It's your call, guys. Leave a review and tell me your ideas. Don't post as a guest or I won't be able to reply. I like being able to talk to people who support me and talk about their ideas.
Please favorite, follow, and review! Next chapter soon! Cheers!
