Here is chapter two, just like I said, in this chapter, Alice is trying to convince some of the other villagers that The Wombles are real. I hope you enjoy chapter two. Leave a review if you like it.
Chapter 2: Alice's Mission.
Alice knocked on the door to the Vicarage, where the town's vicar, Geraldine, lived. After a few seconds, the door opened and stood there in the doorway was Geraldine.
"Hello!" Alice said cheerfully.
"What is it, Alice?" Geraldine asked, "I'm very busy writing this Sunday's sermon."
"You won't believe who I've just met!" Alice said.
"Who?" Geraldine said as in a way that showed that she wasn't a bit interested.
"Are you ready for this?" Alice said.
"Come on, Alice!" Geraldine hurried, "Who did you meet?"
"I have met a Womble out in the park!" Alice finally said.
Geraldine just looked at her with an expression that saids "oh no not again!"
"Alice, how many times do I have to go through this with you, Wombles are not real!" Geraldine fermly said.
"But they are!" Alice determiningly said, "I saw one. His name is Orinoco and he wants me to tell everyone in Dibley that The Wombles exist and to help them with all the pollution and rubbish in the world!"
"Enough, Alice!" Geraldine said dismissively, "Now get out! I've got a sermon to write!"
And as she said that, Geraldine pushed Alice out of the door and slammed it shut. After the vicar left her outside the door, Alice had a thought, she could try and convince Owen that The Wombles do exist so she decided to go over to his place.
When she got to Owen's farmhouse, Alice knocked on the door. She waited for a minute or two before Owen opens the door.
"Sorry about that," Owen said, "My bowels were like The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach."
"Owen, earlier when I was out in the park, I met a real life Womble." Alice said.
Owen, deciding to be Frank with her, said, "Have you gone mad? Wombles are only fictional characters from a children's book and a television series and if I ever met one of those Wombles again I'll blow it's head off."
"What did you just say?" Alice asked Owen, who is now looking a bit embarrassed.
"I said "If I meet one of those Wombles I'll blow it's head off!"." Owen said.
"No, you said "again" have you seen a Womble too?!" Alice asked.
But Owen just slammed the door in her face. Alice wondered what Owen was hiding from her but she decided to go to David and Hugo's place now to tell them about her discovery and figure out what's going on with Owen later.
When Alice got to The Hortons' residence, she, once again, knocked on the door and Hugo opened the door to Alice's delight.
"Oh, hello, Alice." Hugo greeted kindly, "Would you like to come in?"
"Yes please, Hugo." Alice said and she followed Hugo into the house.
When they arrived into the living room, Alice found David sitting in his chair having a cup of tea. And to his displeasure, he saw Alice standing in the middle of the room.
"What is it, Mrs Tinker?" David asked unwantedly.
"Well, you know the park right near the church?" Alice asked.
"Yes, lovely patch of green earth, what about it?" David asked.
"Well, I found some Wombles cleaning up the park!" Alice said in a squeal.
"Oh no! Don't you start with all of this nonsense again! Wombles don't exist!" David said with displeasure.
"But they really do exist!" Alice said, "One of them is called Orinoco and he wants me to tell people in Dibley about their existance and to help them keep the world clean!"
"Well, you can tell "Orinoco" that he and his vermin friends can go back to Munchkinland and to get out of your head!" David said harshly, "Hugo, can you escort Mrs Tinker to the front door please!"
"Right you are, father." Hugo said feeling sorry for Alice.
When they got outside, Hugo looked into Alice's eyes and he saw how determining she was to getting the truth about The Wombles out to the public.
"I believe you, Alice." Hugo said to her.
"You do?" Alice asked.
"Yes, I do." Hugo said with a smile which then made Alice smile.
"Do you want to see them?" Alice asked Hugo with hope in her eyes.
"Alright." Hugo said as the two headed off to the park.
Meanwhile in The Wombles' burrow, Orinoco got to The Wombles' uncle, Great Uncle Bulgaria, and told him everything that happened on the surface.
"This is great news, young Orinoco," Uncle Bulgaria said very happily, "When she convinces people of our existance, then they'll want to help us make the world a cleaner and better place."
"But what if Alice can't get people to believe in us?" Orinoco said with a worried look on his face.
"Then we'll find another way to get our message across." Bulgaria said as he sended Orinoco off for his afternoon tidy up with the others.
In the next chapter, Alice introduces Hugo to The Wombles! Also in the next chapter, I'll be introducing the other Wombles. Remember to leave a little review to let me know if you like my work and I'll try and upload chapter three tomorrow. See you then!
