Chapter 1: An Odd Day
It was a normal day as any other in Parappa Town. It was calm and peaceful, and today snow falling from the sky, covering the rooftops, streets and cars as well. Two canines were walking through the snow. One was in a jacket and his trademark orange hat, and he was walking along one of his best friends that had a thicker coat on as well with blonde hair. "So, Parappa, how'd you do on that test?" he asked his friend Parappa. He was a rapper who said that he just had to believe whenever he got into a situation that felt impossible. It was always a reassurance in his darkest times, at least to him anyway.
Parappa just shrugged. "I'm gonna bet poorly. How about you, Matt?" he responded. His friend gave the same response of guessing how badly he did. They were walking across the crosswalk where a truck was cleaning up the snow from the road. "At least the weekend's tomorrow," Matt said happily until they came upon a familiar looking person in a soldier uniform. There was strangely a crime scene with policemen surrounding a house. They were in a neighborhood, only two neighborhoods away from Parappa's home.
"Hey, General Potter, what happened?" Matt asked. They knew the man in the soldier uniform as a close friend of their fathers. General Potter faced them, having a dislike for Parappa due to him dating his daughter. "Nothing. Just… well, I don't even know myself," General Potter responded. It was unfortunately so bad he was called to investigate.
They saw five covered up bodies being wheeled into some cars to be taken away to be examined like normally. "Was there a murder?" Parappa had to ask the obvious thought while both of them looked at Potter. He sighed nodding in agreement. "Yeah, a family of three, unfortunately…" he answered but this confused the two boys since they saw five bodies, but presumed that they were bodies of the murderers too. One of the police officers went up to General Potter. "Sir, we don't have anyone to go investigate Violetriver," he said. The general seemed annoyed by this, telling the officer to go away for a little while.
General Potter saw Parappa and Matt talking and gave a glare at them. "Can we help out?" they offered in unison. "No you cannot even. If I had no other choice for the next two days, I wouldn't hire you two kids to do a law enforcer's job. Now get on home. You two have seen enough," he ordered. Parappa sighed and nodded, looking at the shattered window of the second storey of the home as he began to leave with his friend following beside him.
"Should we check it out anyway?" Matt asked. Normally he wasn't the type to get involved in any antics or trouble, but this weekend was going to be boring since the snow was stopping him from doing the hobbies he did on weekends. "Nah, I wanna try to get on his good side. Let's just forget about it, just like he said," Parappa claimed while they came to the next street close to his home.
"Alright, see you on Monday," Matt told him before walking in his own separate direction to get to his home. Parappa just continued onto his home, thinking of just sleeping in for most of the weekend like he normally did.
