The Adventures of Flanny - Chapter One: Flanny's cousin
...in the baron land of banning, there once was a boy by the name of flanny.
a plump adolescent who walked about the land with his guitar at hand. he wore the same
suit everyday. a green trenchcoat, with an orange-pink & black striped shirt, with jet black slacks, and rusty black shoes. black gloves, and a military backpack. the one thing that was different about this boy was that he wore a different beanie everyday. one day, red. another day blue and black, then green, then olive green.
he decided to go for a walk to obtain waterflower plants. he came across his uncle ethan, who stopped and clicked his heels in excitement. "Flanny Boy! over here, you skirt-fish!" (a skirt fish was a legendary fish that once swam in the underground catacombs of Banning. his uncle calls him this because to him, Flanny was one of a kind.) "Alrighty, Uncle!", flanny replied. he ran to his uncle, and with a quick chortle, flanny's uncle said, "you probably don't
remember him, because you were so young, but your cousin Francis Dragovich is in town! i need for you to pick him up so we can watch the theatre show out in Valley Moreno. he will be at The Honor Circle." flanny's cheeks were red with joy! he was finally going to meet his cousin! francis, as far as flanny could remember, was a solid lad. him and flanny were seperated at a young age, so flanny was excited and nervous at the same time. "will do, uncle!" and off flanny ran-- "don't forget to brng back
some catapillar larvae and honeyglow roots! i'm making swamp stew tonight!!" flanny belted out, "consider it done!"
...after flanny made it to Finneas Square, he went to Riley's Pub and saw a slender young man. in flanny's mind, he thought this had to be Francis! so without hesitation, flanny came up to the young man. "Francis! come here you old squirt!" and hugged the young man-- "what? get off, slithering wart! i'm not francis!"
and walked away. flanny was confused. but a shadowed figure tapped flanny on the shoulder and said, "f-flanny?" flanny turned around, replying with a "yes??" and out from the darkness a red phoenixfly dragon picked up flanny, and hugged him with a great joyous welcome. "FLANNY! so good to see you!" flanny, being tossed around like a ragdoll, managed to jolt out with a "what??! who are you?" the dragon set down flanny and said, "It's me!! Francis! your cousin!" flanny's brain, failing to comply how a phoenixfly dragon could ever be HIS cousin, replied with a dissapointed, "uh.. hi."
soon after flanny and francis left, they began to walk downtown, the peasants, and knights in shock. some of flanny's friends came forth with uproarious laughter. Ramo Sippy, Doolb, Sir Bran, & Lermacio were in the area. "Hey look, Flanny's cousin."
said, Doolb. "can you swim?" "is your father Malcoi Dracoon?" "Do you like any Folk?" --overwhelmed with such heavy questioning, Francis said, "Flanny... your friends seem like question hungry knights." flanny chained back, "or just hungry.", and soon
came to uncle Ethan's house. "Flanny, you skirt-fish! you brought young Francis!! O fun we hath now!" francis smiled. flanny was in a form of dissappointment... somewhat. without a moment to spare, Flanny, Uncle Ethan, and Francis were off to Valley Moreno to watch a play.
