CHAPTER 1: Beginnings
Vee bounced up and down on her green feet, looking at the poster she'd hung up.
Her microphone tail swirled around her green torso, and she put her hands on her hips, a proud smile growing on her face. The vibrant poster was a picture of her, holding the classic microphone with a green cursive font that read: "Vee's Spectacular Game Show: 10/20/01".
The poster gave extreme contrast from the pale, dark, sketchy room hidden in the alleyway. Vee stopped bouncing to regain her breath. "Alright...." She said, panting. The right side of the poster wasn't taped on good enough, and it started to fall. Vee's expression dropped from an energetic smirk to an annoyed straight face. Vee had spent HOURS trying to photo shot herself, get a perfect font, and most unimportantly, a poster that won't fall. ALL. BY. HER. SELF.
Vee had also photo copied flyers, the exact same as the poster. She sighed. She looked at the nearby table, made of wood, which had a pile of gently used tape and the flyers she photocopied. She walked over, and picked up the unnatural, especially for a place like this, gently used tape from the unstable wooden table. After she picked it up, she fixed it. It hung on, but dropped a second later. Vee sighed, ignoring it. "I should probably tell the others about what I'm doing. They'll probably join." Vee said, smirking. She dashed off, her energy popping out more than ever.
Vee was a TV, who was from the vibrant land of Dandy's World. Yes, the world is NOT your classic "childhood universe for three year olds" it's filled with a corrupted virus named ichor, created by Dandy, a 14 year old flower who has a shop hidden in an elevator. He is commonly seen, but even though his friendly exterior, he is manipulative, jealous, and slightly insane especially when he's ignored.
Now, listen here. Vee and Dandy are rivals. Vee tries to outshine Dandy multiple times a week, or, at most a day. The species they all are is toons, but what they are is different from their species. What? You didn't know that there's more toons throughout the story? I'II explain them later on.
Vee walked to the "Toon Rooms", which was where everyone slept. Each room had a theme. The theme accorded to their personalities, their favorite colors, and how they looked like. She walked to Sprout's room. She breathed in.
Sprout was a strawberry with a pink and white scarf who loves baking. He's best friends with a cake, named Cosmo. Cosmo wears a white hoodie, vibrant socks, and black shoes. Vee pounded on his door. Sprout opened it. Vee was flinging her microphone around until she looked at him. "Hey, berry boy." She said. Sprout was drinking coffee from the coffee maker inside. Sprout's room was a vibrant red, and his bed was a light red. Vee was close to the inside of his room, but if she'd come in she'd give massive contrast. Sprout drank some of his coffee. Then, he responded a second later. "You're still calling me that?" Sprout said, annoyance in his face. "Well, you're a berry, and you're a boy. That's common sense." Vee said, crossing her arms, avoiding eye contact with him but still smiling. "Alright, outdated tech." Sprout said, taking a gulp of his coffee as if it was nothing. Vee's jaw dropped, and her smirk faded away. Sprout glanced at her. His eyes gave: 'Have you never been insulted before?'.
"Anyways," Sprout said, throwing his coffee in the trash now that he'd finished. "Why are you here?" He added. "I'm hosting a game show on October 20th! Wanna join?" Vee said, throwing him a flyer. Sprout glanced at it. "Nah." He said. Vee wanted as many people as she could to join, this was going to be a big event for her. Her first Halloween themed game show. Suddenly, an idea popped into Vee's head. "Cosmo will be there." Vee said, slowly, trying to process the words into his head. Sprout sighed. "I'II consider." Sprout says, shutting his door. Vee dashed off. "Yes! I convinced the random baker strawberry to join! Hey....I'II call him that now. 'Random Baker Strawberry'. Has a good ring to it." Vee said, obviously daydreaming but walking, she was an excellent multi tasker. She was stopping at Dandy's door. His was the nearest to Sprout's. "Great." Vee said, sarcasticly. Instead of pounding on their door like Sprout, she quietly knocked. Dandy opened his door, oblivious to Vee. "Hi, I'm Dandy! How can I-" Dandy paused his sentence, when he looked at Vee. "Oh. Hi." Dandy said, changing his expression from a warming happy smile on his exterior, to a let-down annoyed face.
"What do you want, Vee.." Dandy said, crossing his arms, looking up at Vee. Vee was taller than him, even though their height difference was hardly noticeable. Vee gave him the flyer, knowing he could read it himself. "Vee's Spectacular Game Show...10/20...01" He read, his voice trailing off by each word. "I'm busy." Dandy said, giving Vee back her flyer.
He was NOT busy. That was just an excuse to not go. Vee had to do the same thing she had to do with Spout. Lie. Vee quickly said: "I'II be right back!" She dashed off, and she extended the I in "right". Dandy leaned against his door. He looked at his ichor in his hands, an abomination to others, an inspiration to him. He carefully juggled the shining ichor that glistened in his hand, he knew if he let it go, or fall, it'd cause a massive catastrophic event, destroying and corrupting everything, including the world around it. The ichor was too powerful, yet Dandy ignored that it would happen.
Vee ran over to her green, black room with a black bed, the bed was also adorned in green stripes. She grabbed a beige sack from a horizontal corner from her room. The bag was empty, but it looked like a deflated balloon. She sprinted to a pile of tapes, the currency of Dandy's World, hidden under her bed. Vee always hid it under her bed, just in case of an emergency, like if Dandy went insane. In an unfortunate twist, Vee made attempts to reach it, but each one failed. The first one was just Vee kneeling and grabbing it. It was far, so she squinted to see it. "Ah, darn." She mumbled. Next, she fully went on the ground, stretching her arm to the maximum. The stretching was so aching to Vee, so she pulled it out. "Ow!" She yelled, clutching her arm. She let it go, as anger bubbled beneath her surface. "Alright you stupid pile of tapes." She mumbled to herself in annoyance, though her voice trailed off by each word. Vee breathed in, and pressed a 'REBOOT' button on the back of her.
She pressed it then all of a sudden, Vee stood there, still, and her face switched to a "REBOOTING" screen in white, and the background of the bright vibrant white was a perfect highlighter blue. The rebooting screen vanished quickly, as she knew Dandy would get bored of waiting. Vee rebooted herself for ideas, she's tired herself out. Vee looked around the room, her stamina wearing thin. She spotted a random unnecessary see-through blue ruler on the floor, but it's title as unnecessary changed to necessary, to Vee. Vee dashed to it, and rushed to the horizontal corner under her bed, where the tapes were. She poked the ruler under her bed, and it somewhat had a good grasp on all the tapes. Vee chuckled. "Jackpot!" She yelled. Vee turned the ruler to her direction, soon, they were visible. She did this all in a rush.
Vee grabbed all the tapes and sprinted to the beige bag, and plopped them in there. She closed the sack and dashed to Dandy's room. Suddenly, when Vee dropped the bag that had an estimated amount of tapes inside of it at 1000, which is rounded to the nearest 10, Dandy dropped the jar. "DARN!" He yelled. Vee rushed to save the ichor, but during the process she was trying to save it, it was as if the world was closing in and chills went down her spine, also, it felt like a unknown entity-or darkness swirled around her, emotionally, and world lost it's color-literally. Vee saved it, the jar was unharmed, and she double checked it for no cracks. Vee carefully held it. She looked at Dandy, a furious look in her eyes. "DANDY YOU JERK! THE WORLD WAS ABOUT TO END! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE SUCH A POWERFUL FORCE NEAR YOU IN 1000 FEET!" Vee said, stomping her foot. "Ok geez, I'm sorry." He snatched it back. Vee knew not to fight back, or the world really would end.
"Why did you take so long?" Dandy asked, completely ignoring the situation. Vee's serious expression dropped to a confused glance. "Long? Didn't that take me 5 minutes?" Vee said, crossing her arms. "Long to me!" Dandy said, the words quickly slipping out of his mouth, as if all his words were to merge together into one word. "What did you even get?" He added, this time slower, and his words were clearer to understand. It was as if two sides of a person. The worried side, unable to understand, and speaks fast. It was if he was hiding something. The confident side, who always spoke slowly and crystal clear, and always spoke with truth in their voice. Dandy is the confident side. Expect he hides everything.
"So, how about a deal? About my game show?" Vee said, a smirk on her face, making eye contact with Dandy but as soon as she opened the bag of tapes, her eyes darted to the bag. "A deal? There's nothing you can do to make me join this game show of yours. After what happened last time, I'm not coming." Dandy said, a glimpse of annoyance in his eyes.
What he means by "last time" was last time on Vee's game show, the Christmas special, everyone ended up getting lost in the desert. It was burning, water lacked, and even with the water they had, it was bitter and salty. And nobody likes salt water. "I have 1000 tapes!" Vee drew out, slowly processing the words into Dandy's mind, like she did with Sprout. "Are you su-" Vee said, but suddenly, she was interrupted by Dandy, who suddenly grabbed the beige sack. "SOLD!" Dandy said, smiling. It wasn't a warm smile, instead it was replaced by a hyperactive "Just give me the sack! I NEED MY DAILY TAPES!!!!" "Sold? I'm not selling anything. Well, a deal." Vee said, smirking and flinging her microphone tail. Dandy flung the sack into his room, and slammed the door. "Welp." Vee said, then, turned backwards, finding her friend Shelly's room behind her.
"This should be easier." Vee said, peacefully walking to her door. She knocked. Shelly appeared. Shelly is the most forgotten character out of all of them, as her existence was barely noticeable for about 2 years, until Vee became friends with her. "Vee!" Shelly exclaimed. Shelly hugged her, and Vee chuckled slightly. "Watcha doing here?" Shelly said, putting her hands on her hips with a warm smile. Shelly's species was unknown, but there was many theories by other toons that she's a shell, until Vee found out she was. Shelly had a shell shaped head, tan, and she wore a short brown dress with a baige jumper dress the same length as her dress. The dress had no sleeves.
"Wanna join my gameshow on 10/20/01?" Vee said, her mouth twitching downwards slowly, but it wasn't a frown, it was a smirk, but a friendly one. Vee gave her the flyer. Shelly did quick glances. "Sure!" Shelly said. Suddenly, an Amazon package delivery arrived at her door step, Vee didn't even notice. Shelly noticed Vee looking down, and she glanced down too, but her face had more energy and joy. It was her full complete dictionary on dinosaurs, Shelly's favorite animal on which she had more than an interest in.
"Yes! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!" Shelly yelled in joy. "Bye Vee!" Shelly said, grabbing her package and quickly slamming the door. Shelly kept the flyer. Vee put her hands on her hips. "Heh, her and her dinosaur obsession." Vee joked. She walked away, appearing to Astro's room, who's species is unknown. He has a massive black spot on the right side of his face, and his eye was replaced with a white spark on the side of the mark. He was blue skin, and purple cloth that colors almost every part of his body, including his forehead, but expect his face was visible.
Vee knocked softly, in case he was sleeping. The door opened. "Hello...?" Astro said, in a pianissimo reply. "Hi Astro! Wanna join my game show? October 20th! 2001! This year!" Vee said, not giving him the flyer because he's probably too tired to read it...just like everyday. Astro rubs his eyes, still trying to adjust. "I guess...but tomorrow's the 19th...do I have to come and set up?" Astro mumbled. He adjusted more, so his voice switched to piano. "Yep!" Vee said. Astro yawned and gave Vee a thumbs up, then he slammed his door. Vee sighed, and wiped her brow, as her stamina was grown back. Suddenly, Vee heard forte barking next to her. It was Pebble, the rock dog. He's hyper active, but can't speak, unlike the other toons. "Alright Pebble...you can join." Vee said, her expression softening as she kneeled down to pet him. A warming smile grabbed her face. Suddenly, Vee's smile dropped as she realized something. "Wait..." Vee stood up again. "DID I FORGET TO TELL THE OTHERS THAT THEY HAVE TO COME TOMORROW TO HELP ME SET UP?!" Vee yelled.
