A New Era of Veggies
 
     Chapter 1 - Villagetown City
     Villagetown City. A peaceful town. A town where the hustle and bustle of city life can join with the quiet nature of the village. In fact, that's just what it does, joining the bustling city with the quiet village at I-24 1/3. Yes, Villagetown City is a perfect little town. At least it's more perfect than yours.
     But even in a perfect little town like Villagetown City, there is one small detail that is not so perfect. In this case, it's the form of a person. Well, kinda. It's more of a lumpish mass of bread. Yes, a villain. A villain so terrifying he once struck fear in the hearts of every citizen of Villagetown City. He is evil. He is insane. He is......ticklish. At least in the commercials. Ok, if you hadn't guessed by now, it is the one and only......The Pillsbury Dough Boy.
     Now, obviously a bigshot supervillain like The Pillsbury Dough Boy wouldn't waste his time on a peaceful, perfect town like Villagetown City, right? Well, you would be right, except for a few things: The Pillsbury Dough Boy wasn't a bigshot, his villainy wasn't super, and he was indeed focusing his assaults on our poor town. Actually, his dream was to take over western Africa, but he didn't want to start too big.
     Now, the Villagetowners seemed to cope rather well with the fact that an evil, lumpish mass of bread was terrorizing their town. Sure, the kids noticed the occasional blackish building on the way to school, but not much out of the ordinary. Yes, it seems he's tried too many times to produce mass terror, ol' Dough Boy (with his cohort Chester Cheetah. Did I forget to mention him? Oh, sorry, it's just you never really notice them that much....).
     Well obviously this wouldn't be a very good story if there wasn't someone else competing against Dough Boy, would it? Well, lucky reader (in a way), you happen to be in the right story. The Pillsbury Dough Boy has bad days now and then, but none compare when he is entralled in an evil-to-evil battle with.............The Fast Food Industry. Yes....................The Fast Food Industry. What, do the dramatic looking periods not convince you I'm serious? The Fast Food Company has been around since at least the 1950's, and though you may think their food's great, it is. Really. There's nothing wrong with the food (they wanted to start an evil and twisted chain of food, but so far this plan has only been limited to the Shake-Em-Up fries Burger King used to have). Had you scared, didn't I? It's the company itself that's evil and twisted. So far, their evil plots have not yet been found, but they are planning the day of reckoning.
     All in all, if you can forget about the evil fast food corporation and the monstrous mass of dough, Villagetown City is nice. Nice. Happy place....
     Now that we've got that out of our way, let's begin!
