Self-Inserting Fanfiction From My Younger Days...

Oh boy. I recently dug out all my old notebooks...and I wrote some interesting things...let me tell you. 

So, a bit of background before we dive in. 

When my sister and I were young, we watched a ton of cartoons. Not the good stuff from 80s/90s (think Darkwing Duck, X-Men, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain), but "educational" shows, like all the stuff from PBS and Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior. Also the weird networks with stuff like this. 

My sister and I were reminiscing about this show the other day...we both agreed it was weird. 

We had no taste, if you can't tell. I mean, our parents did have to approve of the show before we  watched it, but we still watched some stupid stuff. 

I EVEN WATCHED CARE BEARS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. CARE BEARS. 

So yes, I'm mad that all the good stuff was past my time. Yes, I'm making up for it now (Animaniacs is the greatest variety show ever created) but I'm still mad people could get away with showing this stuff to kids. I learned NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Except how to write terrible fanfiction. And that's what I'm showing to you today. 

So apparently I was inspired to write this after watching a little show known as "Busytown Mysteries." If you don't know what that is, I don't blame you. 

I cannot believe I watched this. 

Looking back though, it wasn't the worst thing I watched. But the Richard Scarry specials were still far better than this.

And because I was obsessed with this show, I wrote a fanfiction about it! Enjoy...

FYI: I didn't edit this at all. What you see is the original version, complete with spelling, punctuation and overall story errors.

Busytown Ahoy!

See, I was always very creative with titles. 

It was Huckles Birthday, and Sally cat was giving him a sprise party! She and (*name changed to protect privacy*) Lynn pig were discussing it outside the pig family's house where Lynn lived. 

...

when the pig twins anoced it was lunch time. 

I apologize for the horrible grammar. I think I'll keep apologizing for this entire chapter. 

I better go said Sally Bye!

*takes deep breath*

At lunch, Lynn told Pig Will and Pig won't about the party and the boat ride at it. 

WHEN DID THEY TALK ABOUT A BOAT RIDE? WHEN?

We have to repaint his car for his Birthday. said Lynn Come on!

Yes, underage driving was a thing on that show. Every single character (yes, even the worm) had a car and drove it around.  

They drove his car to the car painters.

Yes, the cars in that universe didn't need car keys. Kinda makes you wonder...

When the car was done, Lynn went to pay. Whall she was paying, Pig Won't pressed down the lever to paint the cars red. He got painted red! The painter guy pressed the button to stop it. Come on Pig won't said Pig Will Let's get you cleaned up. 

Fun fact: I stole this from the show. Somehow, I never learned about plagiarism till I was much older. 😂

They got him cleaned up and then drov home. Sally Cat was there. Hey guys! I got the tickets for the boat ride! she said palling out a bug. 

I have no idea what I just wrote. Wow...seven-year-old me. Just...wow.

Oh No! she cried.

I capitalized the No for emphasis, apparently.

What's wrong? asked Pig Won't.

Everything. Everything's wrong. Oh wait, you weren't asking me. 

They are gone said Sally. It's a mystery! said Lynn

No, it really isn't. She probably just lost them in a gutter. 

The Busytown Action News van appeared. 

If you're completely lost right now, I apologize. 

Goldbug here with Busytown action news. What's the scoop, Lynn? asked Goldbug.

Again, my apologies. If you really want to know what's going on, just look it up on YouTube and prepare to lose a few brain cells. 

Well Goldbug said Lynn, The boat tickets that were for Huckle's birthday disapperd! But don't worry, I'm going to solve the Disappearing tickets mystery Right team?

Can you imagine that as a title of an Agatha Christie novel? Or as the title of any other mystery novel? I can't...

Right said Sally and the twins.

---------------

And, I never finished it. Let's just say they never found the tickets and Huckle disowned everyone because his birthday was ruined. Good enough? Good. 

And, as promised, next up will be my Veggietales fanfiction. Like this one, it was never finished (😥) but it's still entertaining...I hope...
