Prologue: part 1
Every hundred years, a comet appears in the skies above the Mushroom Kingdom. The comet was so large one year, it filled the skies and sent countless shooting stars raining down. The Toads brought the shooting stars to the castle, where they became a great Power Star. It should have been a happy time for the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. That was the night of the Star Festival, held once every hundred years to celebrate the comet…
A cat was reading a book. Not your average ordinary book, but a book.
As he flipped the page of the book, a dog with slightly golden fur, with a spot by his rear end and long brown ears. The cat put his foot on the table a booted the dog off.
"Odie, can't you see I'm busy?" The cat almost had a stern voice, who slurred with every stop he makes.
Odie gave an angry look at the cat and growled. Without knowing, the cat put down the book and kicked him towards the window. Mumbling, he returned back to the book seeing the page and flips it again.
A man with a cyan blue shirt, a pair of jeans, a nice pair of shoes, brown hair and a depressed look on his face came in holding 3 plastic bags.
"Garfield," the man said. "I'm back from the-"
The orange tabby jumped in and bit a wrench from the bag.
"…Workshop. Nice try, Garfield, but I just went to the Super market and put it in my secret cabinet. Remember, you ARE on a diet."
"Ugh. You know I hate being on those! C'mon, Jon!"
"Garfield, NO means NO. So stop trying. And don't think about shredding the drapes to take out your overwhelmed anger upon me."
Jon walked away to the kitchen as Garfield look outside the house window. Snickering, he went inside of his window and looked for his archenemy: the Mailman.
As the mailman was covering his way, Garfield came out with his Halloween costume: Jason. He jumped up with a plastic life size Chainsaw. And yelled as loud as he could. The mailman drops the mail for Jon and runs freighted.
"Heh. Works every time." Garfield removed his mask and came back inside with the mail. Jon was on the computer playing World of Washcloths 3: Return of Long John Jenkins.
"You got mail," Garfield throws the mail in Jon's face, still mad about the diet. Jon went through the usual bills, files, appointments for Garfield, until a golden letter is found.
"Huh?" Jon, being very suspicious and startled, opens the letter and reads it.
Dear residents of the Arbuckle house and friends,
Hello! I am writing to you so you may celebrate the 23rd Annual Day of the Star Festival on the first Friday next month! These only takes place once every hundred years, so please come while you can! There will be people from all over the world coming to see the Festival! Food and Drinks will be provided in my castle.
Signed, Princess Peach Mary-Ann Toadstool the 3rd
"Peach? What kind of name is that?" Jon puts the letter away and Garfield and Odie, fighting over a bag of Lays Potato Chips, come in to see Jon reading a letter. Panicking, Jon starts to worry about the entire fall cleaning he did almost going to a waste.
"STOP! The both of you!" Jon's pets cease fighting to look at Jon, giving him utter attention.
"Alright. Now, I have no idea why. But Garfield, Odie, We are going to the Mushroom Kingdom. And you two WILL behave when we meet this Princess Peach person, understood?"
Both animals nodded their heads and resumed fighting. Jon slapped his face and sighed, returning to his game.
That night, it was a meeting between Garfield and his friends. They were meowing and barking all over.
"Garfield, it's three in the morning and you got us HERE? I could be catching my beauty sleep!" A gray small kitten was sitting down on the sofa, his name is Nermal.
"What beauty, you little twerp?" Garfield proceeds to smack Nermal on the back side of his head. "Anyways, we are all going to this mystical land of the Mushroom whatchamacallits."
Odie gives Garfield a sheet of paper what seemed to say "Mushroom Kingdom".
"Alright, I get it. Now you guys have at least a week to pack your things, bring some food, well, PLENTY of food, and find a cell phone so we can stay in touch if we get lost or something. Any questions?"
A slim, long pink cat, almost the size of Garfield raised her hand. "Are we going to be safe, because I hear that there's this evil dragon turtle guy who likes to steal little girls, especially the Princesses."
"Arlene, that's a bunch of nonsense. There's no such thing as a dragon turtle. Anyone else?"
A small gray mouse, the size of a pair of glasses, comes up to the front from the back of his hole and asks, "Will there be cheese?"
"Squeak, my friend, there will be lots of cheese there. In fact, they even have an area made from cheese!"
Squeak jumps for joy as he returns to pack his things, returning to his mouse hole.
"Alright everyone, you know the drill, find your things, pack your food and get ready for one CRAZY night."
That same night, before Garfield goes to bed, he looks at the book he read earlier and grabs the mysterious letter from Peach. He checks to see if they were the same person.
"Same handwriting…" Garfield keeps goes on with his search.
"Same smell…" Oddly enough, Garfield could smell things from a million miles away without a trace. He knew it was the same peach scented smell.
"Same event….This CAN'T be real."
He heads to bed and starts dreaming. First, his usual "lasagna on the oven" dream. He tries to grab and eat the lasagna hot from the oven. Then, his "kick the dog off the table" dream.
He woke up early in the morning, not being able to sleep after being so interested about the Mushroom Kingdom and the Star Festival.
"I…Got to read…the book."
Just before he could reach, the floor started shaking and the entire cul-de-sac erupting."
"WAAAH! It's not 2012 yet! I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
The floor started shaking and it violently caused every one of Garfield's friends to the living room.
"GAARFIELD! IT'S NOT THE TIME TO BRING YOUR FRIENDS OVER!" Jon was flying all over the living room. "IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!"
"WELL, THANK YOU CAPTIN OBVIOUS! I GUESS YOU'VE BEEN CHECKING THE FORCAST FOR A WILD COINCIDENCE!"
The ground stopped to shake and Garfield was hanging on to the roof with his claws stuck to it. He fell off and landed on Jon who was brushing himself from the mess.
"Garfield."
"Yes?"
"GET OFF!"
The fat tabby immediately gets off of his owner's head. Annoyed, Jon brushed his hair while getting ready for what would await them.
All of a sudden, a green tube comes from the bathroom door on the first floor. A small man with a vest, a cream and brown spotted cap, a mustache, a pair of glasses and a cane came out of it.
"Ahem…,"the man clears his throat. "Is this the residence of the Are- book-call family?"
"It's pronounced Arbuckle, sir." The voice was Jon, the only voice that could be heard, speaking up, or down, to the man.
"Ah, yes. My name is Toadsworth and I have come to inform you that the time of the Festival has come. Is everyone present?"
Jon counts to see all of Garfield's friends and Odie. When Jon notices Squeak, he gives a bit of a "why-don't-you-do-anything-around-here" face to Garfield. Garfield shrugs, returning to pack his bed and 10 pounds of lasagna with him.
"Wait, there's one person left. Liz, she's a vet that my pets need."
"Is she on the list of friends?"
"Yeah, she should be on her way just now."
"Come all, we leave immediately. We shall leave the pipe so the vet may arrive with us."
As everyone steps in, with Garfield being the last, they all were given a rush of speed when they made the first couple of steps.
"IS THIS WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU DO EVERYDAY?" Nermal was yelling to ask Toadsworth.
"QUITE! IT IS THE MAIN TRANSPORTATION OF THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!"
The only one who was kept quiet was Odie, since he didn't have a voice, he prayed to himself hoping he would live.
The crowd has stopped a hit the pipe wall and face flat, they hit a button that makes the end of the pipe go up. The ground beneath them started to shake and they were rocketed into the over grounds. They screamed for their lives except for Toadsworth and Odie, who was still praying.
As they landed to the ground, a sign above them said: "Welcome newcomers, to the Mushroom Kingdom!"
"Oh…my…god…"
Meanwhile, Liz was at Jon's house, since Garfield had an appointment that day.
"Hello? Anyone home?" She opens the door, since it was already open.
"Where is everyone?" She looks everywhere until she finds the green pipe that leads to the Mushroom Kingdom.
"What the-?" Those were her last words before getting sucked in to the world of the unknown.
