This is my first cartoon-based fic, so please don't flame.
Abby sighed as she gazed at her love shrine to Otis, which was now overflowing with pictures of Otis as well as paper hearts. It had only been a week since Otis had confessed his true feelings for her, and she couldn't have been happier now that they were finally a couple. So far, it was only a dating relationship, and Abby dreamed of the day they would take it further.
"Pssst, Abby," came a voice behind her. Abby slammed the shrine shut and spun in her chair to find Bessy beckoning to her from her own stall across the barn from hers, a wide grin spread across her face.
"What's this about, Bessy?" Abby asked as soon as she reached Bessy's room.
Bessy snickered. "I'm gonna prank dum-dum. You in?"
Abby folded her arms across her chest. "You're not going to hurt him, are you?"
Bessy shook her head. "Girl, if I was gonna hurt him, I would've done it a long time ago. Now, here's what's gonna happen." She held up a brochure with a photo of a beautiful tropical beach taped across the front, as well as one plane ticket to that location. "The name of the place is Parris Island. You're going to give this and the ticket to Otis, and he'll think he's won a tropical vacation. But, what he doesn't know is…" Bessy removed the beach photo she had taped to the front of the brochure, revealing an actual photo of the Parris Island welcoming sign:
"WELCOME TO PARRIS ISLAND! WE MAKE MARINES!"
Abby gasped. "A boot camp?!" She remembered a documentary she saw once about Marine Corps boot camp. It was not a pretty memory. "Bessy, you can't be serious!"
"Oh, come on," Bessy countered. "He can quit and come home whenever he wants to. Besides, we all know dum-dum is a bit of a loose cannon." She shrugged. "Who knows, this might actually be good for him."
Abby raised an eyebrow. "And why am I doing this?" she asked.
"Because he'll suspect something if I do it. Let's face it. He's dumb, but not that dumb."
Abby sighed. "What exactly do you want me to do?"
Bessy took a deep breath. "It's simple, really. Just find Otis, give him this brochure and ticket, and tell him its a reward for, I don't know, being a good leader or something."
"Is there a deadline on this or anything?"
"Not really. But you're gonna love the look on his face when he gets back."
"Okay," Abby said. "I'm in." As long as Otis doesn't get hurt, she added silently.
Well, there you go. The first chapter's ready. And Parris Island is an actual location, by the way. It's just off the coast of South Carolina.
