“Come on Galaxyman!” My friend Eridell said as he called to me.

I wiped the sleep from my eyes and then looked at him, “What’s for breakfast man?”

Eridell opened his mouth to respond, but was interrupted as the pieman entered with two plates, “Eggs anyway you want them.”

As he put the two plates down, setting one down in front of Eridell, Sourgrapes emerged along with one of my other friends, Jakeye. They both were carrying two plates of Eggs just as the pieman did.

“Good morning Jakeye, and you too Sourgrapes.”

“Good morning Galaxyman!” They both responded.

I slowly made my way to the table beside Eridell. I put the plate of eggs closer to myself and then looked at pieman.

The Pieman looked at me confused, “What?”

“Oh, I still can’t believe that you can make other things besides pies.”

Everyone, except the pieman, chuckled.

The pieman sighed, “Must we have this conversation again?”

“We don’t have to, but I just thought that it was worth mentioning.”

We all sat down and ate our breakfast. After everyone had finished, Sourgrapes took all the dishes and went to wash them.

The Purplepieman stood up, “Would you and your friend do me a favor Galaxyman?”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Would you go to the Strawberryland store and get me some berries?”

“We’ll be happy too,” I said to him and then I chuckled a little.

“What’s so funny this time?” The pieman asked, getting irritated.

“The fact that you want us to go buy berries instead of stealing them, that’s what.”

“At least he wants us to buy them,” Eridell whispered to me.

The pieman was not amused, “Will you two knock it off?” He said to us half yelling. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white piece of paper, “Okay, all of the types of berries as well as how much you need to get are written here.”

Eridell and I looked it over, “4 pounds of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries,” I read out loud.

“Yes, that’s correct!” Pieman told us. “Also, my card number is on the bottom so when you get done, just tell the clerk to bill me later."

“Ah! There’s nothing more suspicious then buying 4 pounds of three types of berries and telling the clerk to bill the card later!" I said sarcastically.

“Will you two just go get the berries?" He said loudly as he went to another room. He then turned around, “While you’re there, please try not to run into “that girl”

I raised my eyebrow, “That girl? Who do you mean--? I then figured it out, “Are you talking about…?
“Never mind who I’m talking about! Just go!”


“Is this everything then?” A pink haired girl at the cashier machine asked.

I looked at the list again, “We’ve got 4 pounds of strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries; yep, that’s everything.

“How do you want to pay for this?” the girl asked.

Eridell then took the piece of paper and handed to the clerk, “Well, we don’t have the physical card, but the card number is on this paper and that is how we’d like to pay. Please bill us later.”

“Interesting! Please wait a moment,” she said before she went into a backroom.”
“Uh oh!, I hope pieman didn’t give us a stolen card number,” Eridell said with concern.

“Nah, The pieman’s not that dumb!” I assured him.”

“I do hope you are right, Galaxyman!”

The clerk returned with the paper, “I just spoke with the manager and he said that the card was good.”

“That’s good to know,” Eridell said as we finished putting all the berries in sacks.

The clerk waved to us, “Have a good day.”

“Thanks!” We both said as we exited the store.


Well that was fun.” I told Eridell as we continued walking.

“I agree Galaxyman! We better hurry and get back to the pruplepieman with these berries.”

I heard the sliding doors to the store open and I caught a glimpse of a girl with a red hat leaving. I quickly grabbed my friend and we hid behind a bench that was nearby us.

“What are we hiding behind this bench for Galaxyman? What’s going on?”

“Shh…She’s hear you!” I told him.

Eridell’s voice became a whisper, “Who’ll hear me?”

“She will!” I said as I pointed to the girl who was walking by us.”

Eridell looked and saw a girl with a red hat on with orange hair and a small chameleon on her shoulder. He then ducked back down, “Who is she?”

“Her name is Peppermint Fizz and she’s the girl who was in my dream.”

I heard a small chuckle, “Wow, Galaxyman! I never realized you were that obsessed with girls.

I narrowed my eyes at him and then struck him in the head with my hand.

“OW!” Eridell said somewhat loudly.

The girl turned around to see what was going on, but then continued on her way when she didn’t see anything.

“Thanks for almost giving us away there, man.”

Eridell rubbed his head, “That was uncalled for.”

I sighed, “Will you quit your whining?” I watched as the girl got further away. “Now, as I was saying, “I had a dream and her name was mentioned.”

“How come?” He asked.

“I’m not sure exactly, but in the past, this girl had become a bully to another girl, and if I understand correctly, the other girl kept on being nice to her; eventually, the two girls became friends.”

“Interesting! But so what?” Eridelle asked.

“The two girls are still friends, but the weird thing is, Peppermint might go back to her old ways. However, I’m not sure when or how.”

Eridelle shook his head, “Yes, but Peppermint might not go back to her old ways. If they have been friends for a long time and have forgotten about those incidents, then they should be fine.”

I stood up since I knew Peppermint was now a distance off and couldn’t see us, “I’m sure the other girl has forgotten about it and even though Peppermint may have forgotten about it, but maybe she remembers it to.”

I helped Eridelle up, “Personally, I think that if anyone has a questionable past, you should always trust them with extreme caution no matter how good they have become.” I started walking in the direction she went.

“Personally, I think you’re loony,” my friend said as he came up to me. “What are you going to do? Spy on her?”

I looked at Eridelle, “You know what’s funny? I asked the white figure that.”

He raised his eyebrow, “White figure?”

“It’s complicated, forget I even mentioned it. Let’s follow her; she’s even heading in the direction where the pruplepieman lives.”

I quickly ran so I could try to keep her in sight while I was far behind her where she couldn’t see me.

“Be careful with the berries man!” Eridell called as he ran after me. We both continued running after Peppermint. After awhile, we both saw her still walking straight. I looked around to make sure that there were plenty of trees around for both of us to hide behind In case she saw us.

“This is insane!” Eridell said in protest, “Why don’t we just go up to her and confront her?”

I looked at him as I went by a tree, trying to keep an eye on Peppermint, “Why would we do that? I’m not going to blow our cover!”

Eridell shook his head, “Perhaps blowing our cover in this case isn’t such a bad idea.”

I sighed as we both continued to pursue her, keeping our distance as best as we could. We had no idea where she was going either. At some points, we thought we had lost her, but with a little luck, we managed to stay on her trail.

“Look Galaxyman!” Eridell said loudly pointing at a house in the distance. We’re almost back to the pieman’s house. How about if we just abandon this pursuit, give the pieman his berries, and then chase this Peppermint some other time?”

“I want to know what she’s up…Hold on!” I said as I stopped myself. Eridell slowed to a stop, only after he saw that I had stopped. We both saw Peppermint standing still looking around. I looked around and hoped that there was a tree close by us. We both continued to look at Peppermint who, thankfully, hadn’t seen us yet. I moved towards the tree.

“Are we supposed to duck behind the tree now?”

“No Eridell, but we should get close to the tree just in case she does.” As soon as I had finished speaking, I saw her slowly turn her head towards us. I motioned for my friend to get behind the tree. The girl saw my friend’s foot go behind the tree. She scratched her head and started walking towards us.

“Shoot!” I whispered to Eridell, “She’s heading our way!”

“I know,” he replied, “What are we going to do?”

I whispered into his ears for a few seconds and then he backed away when I finished, “Are you crazy? That’s not very nice.”

I smiled, “I never said it was nice, but it has to be done, or else, she’ll tell everyone she knows about us.

Eridell shook his head, “Well, I’d rather she tell everyone about us and leave a good report than the other way around.”

“Maybe that will happen a few years from now, dude. I saw Peppermint get closer. “Alright dude, I need two of your berries.”

“Why do they have to be mine? How come they can’t be two of yours? Eridell complained.

“Just give them to me and hurry!”

Eridell reached into his bags and pulled out one strawberry and one blueberry. I took them and held them in my hand which was behind my back, careful not to squash them. We both could hear the girl’s footsteps get closer.

“Hello? Is anyone there?” Peppermint began.

“BOOGA! BOOGA!” I shouted as I took my hand that contained the berries and smashed both of them directly in Peppermint’s face.

“AAUUGHHH!” She screamed as the berries made contact and the juice flew on her face, some of it going on her clothes and in her eye. She then dropped to the ground holding on to her face while still screaming.

I turned to Eridell, “Now’s our chance, to the purplepieman’s house, Hurry!” I told him as I made a mad dash towards the house off in the distance.

“Goodness! Gracious! Our silly adventures!” He then turned towards peppermint who was still on the ground, “I’m sorry about that, my friend can sometimes be rather rash.”

“WHO ARE YOU? I’LL GET YOU FOR THIS!” She yelled, still not being able to see.”

“Oh my goodness!” Eridell exclaimed before he finally took off for the house.”

At this point, Peppermint was furious, “Cola! Cola! Where are you?”

The chameleon tugged on her shirt to let her know that he was there.

“Go after those two and find out where they are going. After you are done, come back and tell me everything you’ve found out.” She felt all around until she touched the tree; lifting herself up off the ground. She swept some more of the berry juice off her and saw her pet looking at her.

“Why are you still standing there?!” After them!”

The chameleon turned camouflage green to make himself look like the grass before taking off after us.

The orange haired girl looked at her hand which was now stained with both of the berries.
“I’ll get you for this!” She said to herself through clenched teeth. A sly evil smile and a chuckle then came from her, “I promise you that!” ]]> Quote:After I had awakened, I smelled a familiar smell of Bacon and Eggs.

There was that voice again. I couldn’t understand why he was calling for me now.

“What is it this time?”

“I’m here to warn you,” he answered. “Warn you of dangers that are coming!”

I was confused, “What dangers? I thought we took care of all the dangers that that there were before we came here.”

“Don’t be so naive; just because you have come back to Strawberryland doesn’t mean you are safe. Indeed, this place is relatively safe 99% of the time, but if you choose to overlook that 1%, it will be your undoing.”

My gaze stayed locked on the figure in front of me who was dressed in, and surrounded by bright light, “I don’t disagree with this. I know a long time ago that Peppermint Fizz, one of Strawberry Shortcake’s friends, tried to cheat at a pet contest. She also tried to steal her garden away, but she told her how sorry she was every time; today, they are still friends.”

“Yes, indeed!” Strawberry is certainly forgiving, but it could backfire and make her a doormat for people, like Peppermint, to walk all over her.”

“What is that supposed to mean? Tell me!” I demanded.

There was a slight chuckle from the figure, “My, My, you are full of questions aren’t you? Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised.”

“Tell me!” I demanded louder.

“If Strawberry is always as forgiving as you say, then why does it always seem that some of her friends constantly repeat their own mistakes on purpose?” He asked, now with his gaze focused directly at me. I then felt a sensation of really cold air and then I was shivering for a few seconds before the feeling faded

“LOOK!” I said half shouting, “Even my friends and I make mistakes over and over again sometimes, but we always forgive each other and try hard not repeat them.

“That’s true, but as you said, you try hard not to repeat them; however, you don’t intentionally keep doing them, nor do you try to find a new way to do the same thing hoping that no one will suspect that you are disguising what has happened previously.

“What does this have to do with Strawberry, her friends, and Strawberryland? Get to the point already!”

“As you wish.” He was silent for 5 seconds before he continued. “Surely, you must have heard the old saying?”

“What would that be?” I asked.

He chuckled again, “You know? The saying that goes, Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

“Meaning what?”

“Exactly what it is supposed to mean. It describes Peppermint perfectly. Fool me once, shame on you: As you have stated already, a long time ago, Peppermint tried to cheat at the pet contest. At the very end, after she was exposed as a cheater, it was assumed that she felt bad that she was caught and that is just what everybody assumed when she walks off.” He then sighed and shook his head, “Fool me twice, shame on me. Later on during the annual Strawberryland games, she cheated again and this time, she may have not gotten caught, but had she not later confessed to her friend, she would have owned Strawberry’s garden and no one would have ever known what she had done. Of course, Strawberry forgave her and continued to forgive her after every little incident that she committed.”

“Sorry, I’m still not seeing the point,” I told him.”

The figure raised an eyebrow, “All that and you still don’t get the point?” He shook his head, “Shame, shame.” He then laughed.

I was getting upset, “What’s so funny?”

“You mean who is funny? The answer is you. Think about it; if Strawberry keeps forgiving her friends after they keep intentionally doing bad things, then they will continue to walk all over her, even if she can’t or refuses to see it.”

“That all was a long time ago. They are still friends and as far as I’m concerned; Peppermint has complained a lot, but I haven’t ever heard of her trying to cheat or trying to do anything bad anymore.”

“That’s because she hasn’t, yet,” he said, and then narrowing his eyes he continued, “Of course, old habits tend to disappear for a while, but then they can resurface when people are totally unaware of them. I’m not saying that Peppermint will ever do anything like that again, but you would be wise not to ignore the possibilities.”

I sighed, “I know, but what do you want me to do? Spy on her?”

The man in bright light shook his head, “How can you continue to be naïve? This isn’t about Peppermint, Strawberry, or her friends. This is about you and your companions. Even with all of this chatter we have had, you still don’t get it and if you continue to be this way, it will be the end of all of you. That is the last warning I will give you. Goodbye and enjoy your time in Strawberyland.”

I was still puzzled, “So, what do you want me to do?”

Instead of receiving an answer, there was a big and evil sounding laugh as I felt as though I was moving further and further from the figure. I looked behind me and saw a little tiny blackhole. The hole began to get bigger and bigger the closer I came to it until I was consumed. The last thing I remembered was waking up. ]]> Quote:“Galaxyman!”

Even with all of this chatter we have had, you still don’t get it and if you continue to be this way, it will be the end of all of you. That is the last warning I will give you. Goodbye and enjoy your time in Strawberyland.”

I was still puzzled, “So, what do you want me to do?”

Instead of receiving an answer, there was a big and evil sounding laugh as I felt as though I was moving further and further from the figure. I looked behind me and saw a little tiny blackhole. The hole began to get bigger and bigger the closer I came to it until I was consumed. The last thing I remembered was waking up. ]]> https://www.strawberryforum.org/board/thread-124.html Sat, 17 Sep 2011 04:31:11 +0000 galaxyman]]> https://www.strawberryforum.org/board/thread-124.html Also, when I write my stories, if I am lucky, I may be able to post multiple chapters at one time, or I may be able to post one and then it might be awhile before I post again, but when I get around to it, I will post and I can promise that.

This introduction is not the first chapter, but I would think of it as perhaps maybe sort of a synopsis (At least I hope I'm using the term correctly, if I'm not, then please let me know and I will try to find a way to correct this even if I have to get some help) of a story that I am writing on my computer. Now, where I am going to start writing my story here on the forum is nowhere near where I am currently writing the story on my computer. On my computer, I'm at the very beginning where so far, nothing interesting has happened at all. Also, Due to copyright laws, I'll probably not get anywhere near where I want to get. (And that's with the permission to use the characters) If I'm lucky enough, I may even get my first book approved and published. However if worse comes to worse and...(I don't mean to look at the downsides or be negative in anyway)...there is likely a 98% chance that it will; at least, I will be able to see the parts of my story that I never got to on this forum. Anyway, without further ado, here is the intro.

A long time ago, I, Galaxyman, along with some of my friends didn't really believe that cartoons could ever exist in the world that we live in. (As you already know, I'm talking about Earth) I always thought that it was a possibility though, mostly because I've always believed that. Anyway, I had a dream where I spoke to "The higher power" and he told me that I am suppose to look out for 5 cartoon characters; although at the time, I didn't know that and so I was unaware of who I was suppose to look for. Later on, I found The Purplepieman, Sour grapes, Pupcake, Custard(The dog and cat were captured and being held by Pieman and Sourgrapes as part as some crazy plan (nothing new, right?) and Huck (Huck was also captured by the two, but since he was a little more "cooperative" They, Pieman and Sourgrapes, decided to not really hold him as a "hostage" against his will. When we all first met, Pieman and crew weren't really as ecstatic as I was. As time went on though and we had all of these adventures where we all had to help each other out, we all slowly began to enjoy hanging out with each other more.

Now after all of our adventures that we have had, we have decided to go to Strawberryland. Pupcake, Custard, and Huck are very excited because they kept on wanting to go back to their home and I finally am letting them since we currently are not on any more adventures and things have calmed down so that we could go back to Strawberryland. Anyways, we are now in Strawberryland and, much to his own surprise and his "better judgment" as he would describe it, the pieman has let Pupcake and Custard go back to their home and he never even tried to prevent Huck from leaving either. In return, the 3 of them have agreed to come visit from time to time. Meanwhile, my friends and I are staying with the brother and sister in an abandoned house in Strawberryland that is nowhere near Strawberrys or anyone of her friend's houses. The purplepieman is doing his best to be very good, although he tries his very best to keep his evil side alive, although he's not as successful as he had been in the past.

Well, there is my introduction on what's happened. I'm sorry if I didn't exactly fill you in on what is to come to my stories, but I can tell you that it will be very intresting. Although my story mainly focuses on The purple pieman, sourgrapes, myself, and my friends, it will also include Strawberry and her friends and also some other characters from other shows depending on how my story is going. The stories will include action, suspense, surprises, comedy, mystery, (although I feel suspense and mystery are the same) and although I disaprove, it will also include romance :oops:

If you want to discuss anything that is in this introduction, whether it be the characters, speculate what you think might happen in the future, or just to discuss what you thought about how I wrote this intro, whether good or bad (although I hope it's more good than bad) then let's discuss about it. Be sure to keep an eye out for the first chapter of "Back to Strawberryland.]]> Also, when I write my stories, if I am lucky, I may be able to post multiple chapters at one time, or I may be able to post one and then it might be awhile before I post again, but when I get around to it, I will post and I can promise that.
