Plants vs. Zombies Begins!

This is a (currently abandoned) story that tells how the first battle between Plants and Zombies unfolded.
==Notes==
*I will make 1 part per day whenever I get the chance.
*Even though this fanfic takes place before the first game, plants and zombies from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures and Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time will appear, along with a brand-new zombie.
*Princess Kitty, if you want to, you can make some artwork for each part to show what is happening. (but please try to have no more than 2 images per part)
