Prologue
March 1995

Brant and some of his friends were walking down the hallway of a middle school.

Brant: See you you next class Ryan.

Ryan: Hey have you asked out Melon yet?

Brant: Um no?

Other Friend: You guys know she has a boyfriend right?

Brant and Ryan: Yeah...

Ryan: But you should ask her out anyways. I mean come on.

Ryan shoved Brant into Melon, who was walking by, almost bumping into her.

Brant: Uh, sorry. Anyways, wanna go out with me?

Melon: Um...

Brant: You know, as friends.

Melon: Okay sure. Coffee Shop then?

Before Brant could answer, he was interrupted by a voice.

Voice: Asking out my girlfriend again Brant? You'll never get her.

Brant: Oh hi Chad. No I was just- AGH

Brant was hit squarely in the stomach with a punch from Hockey Manlet.

Hockey Manlet: You know Brant, you shouldn't ask peoples' girlfriends out.

Brant: But it was just as- UGH

Hockey Manlet kicked Brant in the legs.

Brant: Okay, okay.

Before Hockey Manlet was about to kick him again, Brant blasted him halfway across the hallway with snow.

Brant: Thanks Sensei. You know, Hockey, you shouldn't be hitting people either.

Chapter 1
June 1999

It had been over four years since middle school, and many of the old friends had split up, going to different high schools. Shortly before graduating, war had broken out with Puffle'and, and Penguin Island was now changed.

Brant and some of his old friends met in the Coffee Shop, their usual hangout spot. Though with war broken out, it was crowded with soldiers.
