Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic story and I really hope you all like it! Please enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from this story and H.R. Pufnstuf, the credit goes to Sid and Marty Kroft.
The sun rose brightly at Living Island as usual. The flowers perked up and the birds were singing. It was another beautiful day. Coming out of the cave was a
big yellow dragon called H.R. Pufnstuf, his tail trailing behind him as he walked out of his comforting cave.
Walking out behind him was an 11 year old boy with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He wore a bright yellow polo shirt which was tucked underneath his dark brown pants. His name was Jimmy.
Jimmy had another pal with him, he reached out for his pocket on his polo shirt and pulled out a solid gold talking flute "with a diamond skin condition", his name was Freddy, he was one of Jimmy's closest friends along with H.R. Pufnstuf.
"Good morning Freddy! It's a new day" Jimmy said happily as he was always a happy laughable person. "Wow Jimmy, I had the most wonderful dream ever" Freddy said with his high pitched voice.
Jimmy looked at him and smiled "That's great to hear Freddy", Jimmy's stomach growled, he put his hand on his stomach and looked at Pufnstuf, "Gee Pufnstuf, I sure am hungry"
Pufnstuf looked at the boy as he had his hand over his stomach, "So am I Jimmy, which is why I set out our breakfast on the table, Judy Frog was kind enough to help us pick some apples and blueberries, we have enough for everyone"
Pufnstuf said making Jimmy smile. He loved seeing the boy smile, it not only made him smile as well, but he also had faith that Jimmy could be with him forever, he could not stand the thought of seeing jimmy go back home…he somehow got attached to the boy, he never had a best friend before nor had he have someone so helpful and kind in his life.
Jimmy speed walked over to the table with Freddy glued to his hands, he took an apple and a handful of blueberries and started eating them with Freddy.
Pufnstuf had an apple for breakfast along with the rest of the remaining blueberries. The other people in Living Island can get food for themselves. Jimmy can't do that as he isn't used to doing that kind of stuff because he never did that back home.
He missed home. Every night he wondered what his parents could be doing right now, he tried to get his mind off of it by distracting himself about thinking of what he will do the next day, but the thoughts would come back like thunder and lightning. He would have to get used to it.
It was almost afternoon and Pufnstuf, jimmy and Freddy were having a picnic at the place where the flowers were, it was fun talking to the flowers every now and then, they call it "Living Island" for a reason y'know.
"Isn't this nice Jimmy, a fine beautiful day and a nice picnic as well" Pufnstuf beamed as he was chewing on a sandwich, Jimmy smiled in return "Yes Pufnstuf….although.."
Jimmy looked down with an un-describable negative look on his face while slowly chewing on the remaining bits of his sandwich. Freddy was just as confused as Pufnstuf was, Freddy looked over at Jimmy,
"Jimmy what's wrong? Is everything okay?" Freddy said trying to comfort Jimmy like any close friend should.
Jimmy sighed and looked over to Freddy and Pufnstuf, "…it's nothing, it's just that… well, ever since me and Freddy came here in Living Island, the witch never stopped bothering us, I don't think she'll ever give up trying to take Freddy away from me"
Pufnstuf was shocked, he didn't expect Jimmy to randomly say such a thing on a beautiful day like this,
"Jimmy, why would you wonder such a thing? It's not really surprising since she is an evil person, even before you came here, the witch would always ruin our town and casts evil temporary spells on us, it was horrible from the start",
Jimmy looked up surprised "really Pufnstuf? I thought she did this ever since I came here with Freddy", Jimmy said with a fascinated face,
"no no Jimmy, the witch has been like this ever since", Freddy got the shivers while hearing what Pufnstuf said about the witch, "oooh, this conversation gets a chill down my flute-spine, can we talk about something else Jimmy?" the little flute said.
Jimmy laughed to assure Freddy that nothing will happen to him. Freddy always felt safe with Jimmy, he could never ask for a better friend, he was always there for him, always has him in his hands and on his shirt pocket, and just by hearing Jimmy laugh, he knew he would be safe with him no matter what.
Jimmy was like a brother to him, the only reason Freddy came to life was from the power of jimmy's love.
Jimmy felt the same way to Freddy, he was always picked on at school, mainly because of his 'weird' British accent. Jimmy was new to America, his dad moved to America because of his job and ever since Jimmy started school, he found it hard to make friends, the kids there didn't like him for some strange reason and they would always get Jimmy into trouble, sometimes they would copy the way he talked in an exaggerated tone and make fun of him constantly.
Jimmy hated school because of it, he'd daydream in his lessons and ignored the people around him. Of course, he wasn't a loser, after all, he was well known for his accent in school.
Jimmy still kept smiling, he always found a happy place somewhere in his heart despite all the insults he receives from his class mates, he was truly an optimistic person. Freddy was Jimmy's first ever friend and nothing could break them apart, he will always be with him no matter what.
A few hours later, Jimmy, Pufnstuf and Freddy were still sat down, Jimmy was happy, the sun was still shining, it was a great day, no clouds in the sky and everyone was happy.
Jimmy felt a random shiver, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched 'oh well' he thought, after all, he would always feel like this every now and then.
Pufnstuf and Jimmy were talking and having a great time with their conversations, they would mostly be about random stuff and sometimes, Pufnstuf would tell jimmy and Freddy a joke, he longed to make people laugh.
Suddenly, the clouds started to gather up in a dark grey colour, Jimmy looked up, quite shocked because he had never seen clouds in this kind of action before, "Pufnstuf, look! The sky!", the sky was completely covered, covering up the once beautiful sun.
Freddy was really frightened by now and Pufnstuf was confused, how could it be so lovely and sunny, to a horrible dark weather? A loud cackling evil laugh was heard from above,
Jimmy and Pufnstuf looked up and saw a white cloud-like line trailing in the sky, and it was the witches 'vroom broom' "it's the only way to fly! You're mine now Freddy!" the witch said finishing it with another evil laugh.
Jimmy looked at Pufnstuf "it's the witch!"
