Hanu's Adventure

Chapter One Once the Buzzflies left Dreamville, this haven once again regained its joy and laughter. One fine day, Clockie was once again at the plaza pulling off his usual pranks. "Augh!!! Clockie, you mischievous brat, tweet! I'm going to get you this time!" The angry red birdie pursued Clockie relentlessly, pecking away at him at every chance. It was the origami bird with the worst temper — Clockie REALLY got under its feathers this time. "Tick-tock! Boss Red, please stop it! All I did was give Professor Owl's statue a makeover! I'm sure he won't mind!" "Nonsense! Of course he will! They must never be allowed to enter ■■■■■■■■! This is the home that we've toiled away for, spending untold blood, sweat, and tears to build." It's just as Clockie said — Professor Owl's statue was an atrocious mess of colors, especially the dial on his face. Both hands looked like he had grown extra needle-thin whiskers — a truly comical sight. "Ahem, Clockie, Professor Owl is the origami birds' teacher and one who made great contributions to the foundation of our Dreamville. You must not offend him." Old Man Wood, the person who liked to lecture the most in town, hobbled over with tree roots in hand. Following behind him was the "super-cool" Brother Hanu. "*cough* Brother Hanu, you say something to him as well." Old Man Wood said. "Hmph." Brother Hanu emitted an aloof sound, with that perennially cool demeanor of his. "Abandon our plan to lure the enemy deep into our lines? But the difference between our forces is..." But this hmph made both Clockie and Boss Red instantly cease their bickering. "Tick-tock, sorry... I'll clean up the statue right now..." The minute hand on Clockie's dial drooped, and he lowered his clock face. In the eyes of Clockie, Brother Hanu wasn't just his bestie, but also his arch nemesis — he would never want to cross this stone-cold, dead-pan wolf. "I understand, but you have to come back safe... ■■■■■■■■ won't be the same without you." Brother Hanu nodded in approval as he watched Clockie remove the clock hands from the statue as instructed. He turned away to leave the plaza, disappearing into the shadows of an alley alone. To him, quelling the town's disputes is but a trifle. The real trouble lies with evildoers who would threaten the town's peace — they would not be so easily deterred with a simple grunt. And so, Brother Hanu must be on high alert every single day, scouring every nook and cranny in Dreamville to eliminate the evils that lurk in dark corners. But it is this very meticulousness that allowed Boss Stone to swoop in... A confident *hmph*.
