Tex Goes Over The Hedge Part One: Vincent Returns

After we saved the FNAF Verse from the wraith of Vanny and EXE, Tex, Toppy, Rohan, Dave, and I were traveling through the portal of the multiverse to try and get home to our world. Our adventures in the FNAF Verse were fun, but we felt like getting home without any issues.

"Toppy," asked Tex. "How long until we get home?"

"Well, according to my GPS," said Toppy. "We should be home in five hours. Why?"

"Well, shouldn't we make a stop first?" asked Tex, as he pulled out a jar of EXE.

"EXE?!" we all shouted in horror.

"Yeah," sad Tex, sheepishly. "I figured that we should bury this somewhere in the multiverse. That way, no one can ever find it again!"

"OK, fine," said Toppy. "Where to?"

Tex put some coordinates into the portal and transported us to where he wanted to go. We all dropped out of the portal and onto a hedge. The hedge divided a neighborhood from a forest.

"What is this place?" asked Dave.

"This is the Over the Hedge world," said Tex. "I figured that we could bury the EXE somewhere in this forest. That way, no one can use it ever again!"

At that moment, RJ, Verne, Hammy, Ozzie, Heather, Stella, Penny, Lou, and the three porcupine kids walked into the view.

"Guys! It's them! The Protectors of The Multiverse!" said RJ, excitedly.

The rest of the family cheered in adoration, as we slowly got off of the hedge.

"Actually, we were just here to bury something quickly," I said.

"Nuts?" asked Hammy.

"No, Hammy!" said Tex, as he held up the jar of EXE. "We were talking about this."

The family gasped at the site of the EXE.

"What is that?!" asked RJ.

"It's called EXE," I said. "It is a black goo that makes whoever is exposed to it evil. We had an issue with it in the FNAF Verse. But luckily, we were able to resolve it by blowing it up. Or at least some of it. But as you can see, there is still some left. So, we were hoping that we could bury it here."

"Of course," said Verne. "Actually, we could use your help as well, if you guys don't mind."

"What is it?" asked Tex.

"You see, times have been tough for us recently," said Verne. "17 years ago, we had enough nuts to last us an entire decade. But then, the supply started running lower and lower by the day. Now, we're not sure if we will survive another winter."

"So, we were hoping that you could help us find food for the winter, there," said Lou.

"Sure thing!" said Tex.

"Tex, can I speak with you in private?" asked Toppy, before pulling Tex aside. "I know you want to help these guys, but we have to get home. We agreed that we could bury the EXE here. Then, we would go home."

"I know," said Tex. "But you heard Verne: They're not sure if they will survive another winter! They need food! Can we stay a week at least? Please?"

Toppy thought about it, long and hard. He did want to go home to our world. But he knew that heroes don't let people starve.

"OK, fine," said Toppy.

"You won't regret this!" said Tex, before turning to the family. "OK, guys! What's the plan?!"

"Well, last time we tried to steal food from the humans," said RJ. "We nearly died. First, at the hands of an exterminator. Then, at the hands of a homicidal bear. Then, at the hands of an HOA president. Finally, all three at once."

"Well, that was RJ's fault, sort of," said Verne. "He came to our neck of the woods, 17 years ago, trying to help us look for food. What we didn't know was that he had to give the food to that homicidal bear he told you about. It was crazy!"

"Well, Verne," said RJ. "We just had some horrible communication back then, that's all. He should be in the Rockies now. The point is, we have to be more sneaky about how we get the food from the humans."

At that moment, we heard Hammy scream in horror. Everyone rushed over to see what was going on.

"Hammy! Are you OK?!" asked RJ.

"Scary bear," said Hammy, as he pointed at the figure approaching the family and us.

"My tail," said Verne, as his tail began to tingle.

At that moment, we saw the figure. He was a black bear, who was five feet tall. He had blood on his teeth and his claws.

"Hello, RJ," said the bear, sinisterly.

"Vincent! Good to see you!" said RJ, nervously. "How long has it been? 17 years?!"

"Yes," said Vincent. "I spent 17 years in the Rockies because of you! While there, I had to claw my way back here to get revenge on you! Killed a couple animals along the way! But it was worth it. You made me lose my food supply. Now, I'm gonna make you lose your family."

"Vincent, was it?" said Tex. "Killing someone over food is very petty! I know how you feel. I went through a very dark time in my life, before I met these four. But now, I'm a hero and I don't care what people think about my company. Don't do this, man!"

But Vincent still didn't listen. He grabbed one of the porcupine kids by the throat and was about to consume him. Penny and Lou screamed in horror at the site of one of their kids, about to be consumed by the psychotic bear.

"Everyone, to the log!" yelled Verne, as he and the rest of the family, except for RJ, ran for the log.

"Vincent, if you let him go, I promise I'll get you more food," said RJ.

"Do you really think I'm falling for that trick again, RJ?" asked Vincent, as he prepared to eat the poor porcupine kid.

"He's serious!" said Rohan. "And we'll help him!"

"Wait? We will?" asked Toppy, before Rohan gave him the evil eye. "I mean, of course, we will!"

"I agree," added Tex.

"Me too," said Dave.

"Ditto!" I said.

"So, you guys will get me my red wagon?" said Vincent.

"Yes," we all said.

"The blue cooler?" asked Vincent.

"Why blue?" asked Toppy.

"No reason! Just because blue is my favorite color," said Vincent.

"Yes," we all said.

"Also, don't forget the Spuddies this time!" yelled Vincent. "I love those things!"

"OK," said RJ. "And we'll get you that Giant Picnic Pack, Family Fun Size we talked about!"

"They have that?!" Tex, Toppy, Dave, Rohan, and I asked.

"Pretty sure," said RJ, nervously.

"OK," said Vincent, as he put down the porcupine kid. "You all have one week to get my food! If it's not at this exact area by the time I get back in one week, all of you are gonna be dinner!"

Vincent left, and everyone's eyes widened in shock. Verne and the rest of the family got out of the log.

"Mom! Dad!" said the porcupine kid, as he ran to Penny and Lou.

"We're so glad you're safe!" said Penny.

"Thank you, there," said Lou. "How did you save him?"

"Well," said Toppy. "We made a bargain with Vincent: We have one week to get the food he needs or else, he'll eat us all."

"What?!" said the whole family in horror.

"That means less time for us to get our own food!" said Verne. "What are we gonna do?!"

"Guys," said RJ. "I think we can do both in one week. We have a huge team this time. If we all work together, we should be able to have our cake and eat it to."

"I agree," said Toppy.

"OK," said Verne. "Let's get to work."

So, the family went to begin stealing food from the humans for Vincent and themselves. But we now had a new problem on our hands.

"How are we gonna bury the EXE, help the family gather food, and gather food for that psychotic bear in one week?!" asked Toppy.

"Relax, Top Dog," said Tex. "I think we can do it. But first, we need to store the EXE away for later."

So, Tex went to put the EXE on top of a tree, while we went to help the family gather the food. But what we didn't know was that EXE was bout to strike the Over The Hedge Universe.

Our new adventure is on.
