Hey there! PoMlovah611 here with yet another chapter of my latest story,
The Backstory! haha!
Oh and since I JUUST saw the latest few episodes, and they revealed something about Wander's hat's origins,
I'm gonna be adding THAT to my plot. So I suggest you read Chapter 1 again because I made some major edits.
SO READ ON!
The Backstory
Chapter 2
"Hmmh…" Wander pouted, rubbing his chin as he observed his dull, drab, dreary and bleak surroundings. All the people on that planet were wearing frowns on their faces. The sky was always filled with huge grey clouds. Everyone was either in his or her homes or at work, enduring the same tedious routine everyday. "This place could use a little cheering upping. Right, buddy?" He said with a grin to his yellow, crescent-shaped friend.
"Oh you bet! And I know just the thing to do it!" Screwball chuckled and a pair of gloves attached to springs popped out of his top hat, holding an accordion. "Music always cheers me up!"
The furry orange fella beside him gazed at it in awe. "Oh wow! You play? No way!" He said in excitement. "I play too!" He said, taking his favorite banjo out from somewhere behind his back. The very same banjo his parents had given to him. "Well it isn't an accordion but I play an instrument-"
"Well whaddya know! We're certainly lucky we ran into each other! With our combined music, we'll keep all the trebling trebles that are keeping this town down away! … mmh no…" Screwball paused to rub his 'chin' with his moustache.
Wander laughed a bit, sitting on a hollow block to start tuning his banjo.
"Ooh! How about… If we play together, I bet there's gonna B Major differences here!"
"Sounds good to me! But there's only one way to really find out if that's really gonna happen. Are ya ready, buddy?" Wander asked, standing up from the hollow block and smiling at his friend.
"Yep!" Screwball grinned back at him.
And so the two started playing a tune together, both singing and dancing on the sidewalk.
The people of the town then began to notice their anomalous cheery, happy, gleefulness. Their music brought smiles on the faces of those who listened. Some even danced and sang along to their catchy tune. The people loved it. Some young children and their parents began gathering around the duo to listen to their seemingly spontaneous, improvised, impromptu presentation.
Slowly the town seemed to brighten. The sun even began to come out from its hiding place in the thick clouds in the sky. Flowers began to bloom and birds began to chirp.
Some of these things kept its changes even as their song ended. The crowd cheered and applauded them. Some of the people tried to offer them money. But the two politely refused. And when they thanked them, Wander would always respond- "Never hurts to help-" and Screwball would finish "and put a smile on everyone's faces!" he said with a laugh.
The orange Wander chuckled and waved to the people as they walked back to where they came from to continue on in their lives in that planet, but with a different, more positive attitude from the cheery atmosphere they were just exposed to.
"That was fun!" Wander smiled.
"Absolutely! We were pretty sharp back there!" Screwball Jones replied.
"Nah, I think I was a bit flat at some parts there…?" Wander tried.
"Oh that's not your forte! I say you were the key to our success today!"
"Success?" Wander tilted his head.
"Yeah! We made people happy! That's my life goal! To make folks happy throughout the galaxy!"
"That sounds real nice! I sure would like to do that too. My momma always told me to do my best to be the ray of sunshine in everyone's day wherever I went." Wander let out a sigh and frowned as he suddenly drowned himself in his memories.
"Sounds like a pretty good motto if you ask me." Screwball shrugged, tucking his accordion back in his hat.
Wander shook his head as he pulled himself out of his thoughts. "Well… anyway." He put a smile on his face again. "We can't just stay here in this one town spreading joy here and here alone! We should travel! See the world! See the universe! Make people happy everywhere! One way or another!" he said, stretching his hands up to the sky for emphasis.
"I don't see why we shouldn't do just that! This town is full of frowning faces. I should know. I've been stranded 'round here for quite some time. Come on, o'
pal o' mine to the next part of town!" Screwball exclaimed, pointing northward with his big mustache hand.
"Yowee!" Wander jumped up and started happily walking northward with his pal.
After a few minutes of walking, a question popped into Wander's mind. "Say uh… Screwball, you mentioned that you were stranded here a while ago…"
"Yeah. That's because I am!" Screwball shrugged casually.
"Well yeah but… how did it happen?"
"Oh nothing that bad. I just got kicked off here and I have no means of getting out of here. I mean I can't just steal… you know…"
Wander looked to the side and saw a wide variety of cars passing by. He then gave his friend a sad smile. "Gee… if only we had some kind of vehicle, not only could we travel the whole universe makin' folks happy, we could also, maybe, probably, bring you back home!"
"Yeah… if only." Screwball sighed, frowning.
Wander looked at Screwball's sad face and quickly stood in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. "Maybe we could play our music in the streets and y'know, ask folks for some of their whole-heartedly given money! Y'know like other folks do. That way, we could raise money for tools and materials! And we could build ourselves a vehicle!"
"Say… that's not a bad idea. Yeah! That could change a lot in our finance problem! Sounds great! Boy, you sure come up with a lot of great ideas." Screwball smiled.
Wander bowed. "Why thank you, kind sir!" He chuckled.
Screwball nodded and rubbed his non-existent chin. "We could build some kind of hot-air-balloon-like ship! And take it around the universe! We could learn more ways to make people happy! Y'know I heard something called a prank. I don't know exactly how it works but I heard it makes people extra happy!"
"Sounds fun! It's a plan then! At the next part of town, we'll try and earn ourselves a few bucks for our vehicle building!" Wander said, looking at Screwball with an excited expression.
"Yep!" Screwball then looked to the sky and vowed - "And we'll get started as soon as we're able!"
