Tully Grooberson

*"I'm gonna go take a shower now!"*
―Tully Grooberson[src]
**Tully S. Grooberson** is a dimwitted resident of Orlando, Florida, who has a huge romantic crush on Sarah Bermudez. Obsequious, Tully moved next door to the Bermudez Residence, hoping to befriend Sarah's brother, Jason Bermudez, so he could get to her. Tully soon got locked outside of his house, causing him to later be targeted by Raymond Floyd, DeAndre, and Luis, who prevailed to confront Tully's neighbors. When Tully tried to escape, he unfortunately got kidnapped by Ray's colleagues, being held hostage in the back of DeAndre's Car. While Tully was under DeAndre and Luis' custody, the three were attacked by multiple Ogres, who took Ray's pawns, but just when they got close to killing Tully, he was rescued by the *Shrekbusters*. Sometime later, Tully moved into the Orlando Apartment, due to his house being destroyed. While getting comfortable in his new home, he kindly befriended Edward Fitzgerald, his next-door neighbor.

## History

### Romance Towards Sarah Bermudez

*"Man, I remember my senior year, all the goals I set for myself about dating Sarah... They never really worked out--but it's ok because we live in the same area now I suppose, right?"*
―Tully Grooberson to Jason Bermudez[src]
Tully S. Grooberson went to Melston High School, where he met and developed a crush on his classmate, Sarah Bermudez. Wanting to be with her more than anything, Tully set up personal goals that he wanted to achieve in life, just so he could impress her. Unfortunately, Tully's plans didn't work out like he hoped. Sometime later, Tully started to express his love directly to Sarah, only for her to reject him multiple times. Tully however, refused to let Sarah go, and continued to chase after her. Tully later moved into the house next door to the Bermudez Residence.

### Meeting Jason Bermudez

*"How's Sarah?"
"Oh, she's fine... without YOU! Now if you'll excuse us, Tully, we got more important things to do..."*
―Tully Grooberson and Jason Bermudez[src]

Tully met Sarah Bermudez's brother, Jason Bermudez, and desired to become friends with him. Unfortunately, despite Tully's friendly ambitions, Jason assumed that Tully only wanted to be friends with him just so he could get to his sister, and refused to befriend him despite being a truly nice person. One day, Tully went outside his house to greet Jason and his friends, oblivious to the fact that Jason just had a very terrible day, due to him, Daniel Coleman, and Alex Rainsford, having been expelled from Melston High School for invading an Abandoned Swamp.

Tully asked how they were doing, mindful of the fact that they were finishing off their finals. Tully remembered of his senior high school years, and how he set up all those goals about dating Sarah that didn't work out for him, but assured that it was alright now that he lived in the same neighborhood as her and Jason. Tully then asked Jason how Sarah was doing, but Jason said that she was doing perfectly fine without him. Jason then left Tully behind, saying he and his friends had more important things to do. Tully asked if he could join them, but Jason refused, begging Tully to stop being so nosey for once. Tully decided to go back inside and take a shower, but he struggled to open the door, because he didn't know that it was push, not pull. Tully then started knocking on the door and shouting, hoping someone on the inside would help him out.

### Locked Outside

*"H-hey guys?! Wait! I've been locked out of my house I need help...!"*
―Tully Grooberson to the *Shrekbusters*[src]

By the time night fell, Tully was still trying to pull his front door open so he could get inside his house. When the *Shrekbusters* bypassed Tully's house so they could get to the Gaylord Palms Hotel, Tully tried to get the boys to help him out. Unfortunately, the *Shrekbusters* left and Tully began trudging back over to his house. The *Shrekbusters* then bypassed Tully again, having gone in the wrong direction. Tully once again tried to get them to help with his door problems, but they prioritized their business more than Tully's situation. Tully mourned, and had no other option but to sleep outside for the night.

### Love Confessions

*"Oh God-- Tully, what in the world happened to you?"
"I was, uhh... I was locked out of my house and I had to sleep outside... Hey, I was wondering... Uh, maybe I could come in and we could hang out?"*
―Sarah Bermudez and Tully Grooberson[src]

The next morning, Tully woke up covered in dirt and dust. Seeing Sarah right outside the front door of her house, Tully walked up to her to say hi. Seeing Tully's messed up face, Sarah asked what happened to him, and Tully explained that he got locked out of his house and had to sleep outside for the night. Just then, Tully questioned if Sarah could invite him inside the house so they could 'hang out'. Unfortunately, Sarah instead walked back inside the house, then shut the door behind Tully, slightly upsetting him.

### Kidnapped by Raymond Floyd

*"We just wanted to pay him a visit and, y'know, have a little talk with him."
"Oh uhh... Ok then...? H-hey... On a second thought, are you sure you're friends with Jason? You guys seem a little... scary..."
"Nawww I think YOU'RE just in bad shape. I mean look at yourself! Here, meet my friends DeAndre and Luis. They're gonna take you to a nice bar, maybe go to the mall and distract you for a while!"*
―Raymond Floyd and Tully Grooberson[src]

Tully ended up being stuck outside his house for about a month. Sitting outside on the steps in front of his house, Tully looked up to see Raymond Floyd, DeAndre and Luis, who were approaching the Bermudez Residence. Tully got up and asked if they were friends of Jason, and Ray claimed that they were, saying that they just wanted to visit him and have a little chat. Tully started to become concerned that they weren't really friends with Jason, and commented on how scary they looked. Ray told Tully that he was just in bad shape, and that DeAndre and Luis were going to take him to a bar and distract him while he confronted Jason.

Tully became more confused, but DeAndre and Luis tried to clam him down, saying that they wouldn't hurt him. Tully attempted to escape by going inside his house, but once more came out unsuccessful with opening the door. Making a fool out of himself, Tully turned around, begging DeAndre and Luis not to harm him, and that he didn't want any trouble. Unfortunately, just like that, Tully was kidnapped by the two, who held Tully hostage in the back of DeAndre's Car. While the group were waiting for Ray, Tully asked DeAndre and Luis if they were going to hurt Sarah, but he was told to shut up. When an explosion destroyed the Bermudez Residence, DeAndre and Luis got in the car, and drove off into town with Tully in the back seat.

### Ogre Invasion

*"HEY! LOOK, THERE'S MORE COMING!"*
―Tully Grooberson to DeAndre and Luis[src]

Tully remained in the back seat and didn't say a word, until DeAndre's Car came to a stop as a flying Ogre landed on the hood. After DeAndre threatened the Ogre to get off the car, Tully tried to warn both him and Luis that more Ogres were coming their way. Both DeAndre and Luis kept telling their hostage to shut up, but they soon started to pay attention as the Ogres got closer. DeAndre attempted to run over the Ogres, but one of them used superstrength to hold the car in place. Tully and DeAndre then watched as Luis was dragged out of the car and had his DNA mutated, causing him to become an Ogre himself, much to Tully's shock. DeAndre then got out of the car so he could escape, leaving Tully behind. Tully tried to get DeAndre to help him out, but DeAndre was captured by a flying Ogre that killed him. The Ogres kept wrecking through the vehicle, hoping to get to Tully, who remained in the back seat.

### Rescued by the *Shrekbusters*

*"Stay inside the car, Tully!"
"Okay, but first, I need my wallet, my phone, and my credit card--"*
―Jason Bermudez and Tully Grooberson[src]

Just when it seemed like it was the end for Tully, the Ogres surrounding him moved out of the way when they were threatened by Jason Bermudez's Proton Gun. This ultimately led Tully to be rescued by the *Shrekbusters*, who took him back to the destruction of the Bermudez Residence in the Shrekbusters Truck. When they got back to the source of the Ogre madness, Jason told Tully to remain inside the car, but Tully got out so he could get some of his personal items out of his house. Unfortunately, Tully continued to have problems with opening the door, causing him question why it wasn't opening.

Meanwhile, the *Shrekbusters* managed to put a stop to the terrifying Ogre invasion, causing all the Ogres to be sent back to where they came. Rushing over to the scene of the commotion, Tully told the *Shrekbusters* that he heard a lot of loud explosions and questioned what was going on. Tully then turned around, shocked to see that the Bermudez Residence was completely destroyed, prompting him to wonder what happened to the house.

### Moving Out

*"Okay Mr. Grooberson, here is your new apartment. The City of Orlando is paying for your first two years of your rent, as a compensation for the destruction of your home. But after that, you better pay me rent!"*
―Landlord to Tully Grooberson[src]

Sometime later, Tully moved into an apartment. Upon meeting his landlord, Tully was told that the City of Orlando would be paying Tully's rent for two years to make up for the destruction of his house, and that afterwards, he would have to start paying the rent himself. Tully was then left alone, excited to move into his new apartment. Unfortunately, as he tried to open the door by pulling and not pushing, he became upset when the door didn't open. Tully was then approached by Edward Fitzgerald, who asked Tully if he needed any help. Tully explained to Edward his situation, but ended up looking like an idiot when he was asked if he tried pushing instead of pulling. Tully then pushed the door open, and much to his surprise, it worked.
