Lucky and Ace begin walking through the forest; suddenly, they hear a, "Meep? Meep!" and look down to see a small gelatinous red creature standing at their feet. "Say, it's a red slime!" Lucky states. "Interesting how they always seem to turn up in games like this."
"Aww, he's so cute!" Ace leans down and begins petting the slime on the head. "Who's a pwecious widdle woogie-woo? Who's a widdle woogie-woo?" He turns to a blank-faced Lucky. "Can we keep him as a pet? Please? Pretty please with artificial sweetener(1)?"
"Meep, meep!" the slime says.
"I don't know," Lucky replies. "I'm not sure how to look after one, like what they eat, or how to walk one."
"Aw, I'm sure he'd make a great pet, Lucky. I think I'll name him Slimey."
"Well...okay, he can come with us, but only for a little while." Lucky replies.
"Thanks!"
"Meep, meep!" Slimey exclaims.
The three of them travel further down the path, when Ace observes something shiny in the long grass by the road; he hurries over and brushes the grass away, revealing the item to be a treasure chest. "Look, Lucky, there's a treasure chest hidden here! Maybe there's something useful inside."
"Hmm," Lucky muses. "Interesting how those always seem to turn up in games like these, too."
Ace opens the chest and finds a small, flower-shaped sugar cookie with pink frosting. Though not sure how this would aid them in their journey, he picks it up and puts it in his pocket, just in case. As they travel a bit further, Lucky locates another treasure chest; upon opening it, he finds a golden golf club. Hiding his surprise, he puts this item in his pocket, just in case it might also come in handy later. As they travel further, Slimey suddenly hops over to another patch of long grass and squeals, "Meep, meep!"
"What is it, boy?" Ace inquires. He traipses over to the patch of grass, where he finds another treasure chest. "Good job, boy." he says, petting Slimey's head.
"Meep." Slimey replies contentedly.
Ace opens the chest and finds a bottle of hypnotizing potion. "Say, this does look handy!" He then puts this in his pocket, too. Moments later, Lucky locates another chest, which turns out to be housing a can of woodchuck repellant; he places this in his pocket, too.
"Well, looks like we've found all of the treasure chests in this area," Lucky notes, as the here of them continue down the road. "Though I still wonder what purpose these items have..."
As Lucky and Ace travel further into the woods, their path is suddenly crossed by an enormously fat unicorn. "Whoa, never seen a unicorn quite like that before!" Ace notes.
Slimey hops up to the unicorn. "Meep, meep?" But the unicorn simply snorts irritably. "Hmm," Lucky muses. "It seems that getting him to move will be easier said than done. If only we could distract him somehow..."
As Ace mulls this over, an idea suddenly hits him. He reaches into his pocket, takes out the sugar cookie he'd found earlier, and flings it away, causing the unicorn to run off after it hungrily. "Wow," says an impressed Lucky. "That was handy."
"Meep, meep!" agrees Slimey.
The group presses on further; as they come to a clearing, they hear the sounds of heavy footsteps, and suddenly, a large, angry-looking hippopotamus confronts them, snarling and snorting viciously(1). "Uh oh!" Ace exclaims.
"We gotta run!" Lucky exclaims.
"Meep, meeeeep!" adds Slimey.
The group races down the path with the hippo in hot pursuit until suddenly, they come to a dead end. Thinking quickly, Ace removes the hypnotizing potion from his pocket and tosses it at the hippo The hippo promptly freezes in place with a blank look on its face, upon which the group quickly escape. "Pfew, that was a closie," a relieved Lucky states. "Great move there, Ace."
"Thanks."
As they continue down the path, they hear more loud footsteps, upon which a large water buffalo, wearing a top hat, monocle, and fake mustache steps into their path(1). "Hello, friends," he greets them politely. "I was wondering if, perhaps, I might ask a favor."
"Absolutely," Lucky replies. "How may we help you?"
"Meep, meep?" Slimey inquires.
"Well, I've been trying to locate the legendary golden golf club for many a year, but so far I've had no luck. If it isn't too much of an imposition, might you fine folks help me find it, please?"
"Well, say," Lucky takes the golden golf club out of his pocket. "We have the golden golf club right here."
The water buffalo's face lights up. "Goodness, after all these years someone's finally found the golden golf club! Oh, thank you so very much! I simply must give you something in return..." He muses for a second. "I know! I shall give you my hat, monocle, and fake mustache." He then hands all of the aforementioned to the group, who place the items in their pockets. "Gee, thank you, sir." Ace says.
"You're quite welcome, and I must thank you all once again for your help. Goodbye, friends." the buffalo then begins to leave.
"Goodbye!" Ace and Lucky politely wave goodbye as he leaves.
"Meep, meep!" adds Slimey, who's now wearing the mustache.
The group continues their trek through the woods; suddenly, a piece of wood goes flying by. Lucky and Ace promptly duck. "Whoa, where did that come from?" Looking up, Lucky spots a woodchuck sitting on a tree stump(1); almost immediately thereafter, several more join him and begin flinging wood every which way. Keeping his head low, Lucky removes the woodchuck repellant from his pocket and sprays it vigorously; the woodchucks immediately squeal and scamper back into the forest.
Shortly thereafter, a lawn gnome walks by; Lucky sprays the gnome with woodchuck repellant, causing the gnome to scramble away. "I wonder why that worked." he states.
