Chapter 1: The Bushes Are Rustling!

July 25, 2013 was a beautiful day in Tomville. It was the first sunny day in a super long time, the temperature was below freezing, and there was no snow on the ground. Little soccer lover Rettlan is riding home from soccer practice in the back of his mom's Boyota Hazel. The DVD Player TV is playing the Jokemon cartoon loudly.

• Rettlan: Go Wishani go! You beat that little pink thing! Ra ra!

• Rettlan's Mom: Rettlan, please calm down. There's a bunch of traffic and I need to focus. This silly blue hatchback in front of me thinks it can merge when it really can't.

• Brianna: You said you need to focus, and a Focus is in front of us. Get it? Heh heh heh.

Brianna was a very pretty penguin who really liked cars. Johnny, the Tomville mayor, really liked her, as they shared a lot of common interests. Since she was so involved with cars, she didn't have many friends. The mom and Rettlan were confused and continued on with life.

• Rettlan: What??!! Wishani lost to Kirbychu? That's a disgrace! Kirbychu has only a third of the power that Wishani has! I'm turning off Penguin Network right now!

Disgruntled Rettlan presses the off button on the car remote very hard.

• Rettlan's Mom: The traffic is clearing up now, so I'm fine. But please, you seriously need to calm down.

Listening to his mother, Rettlan took out his Dr. Ray headphones and listened to some Jokemon tutorials online through his pPad.

---

Fifteen minutes had passed, and the blue-gray Boyota was pulling into the driveway. The mom was about to get the mail when she heard some rustling in the bushes by the front door.

• Rettlan's Mom: What's that?

Nervous, Rettlan's mom walks on tiptoe towards the suspicious green bush. All of a sudden, the bush moves! It slides into the street, right under the neighbor's car. Big orange feet could be seen through the bush. Rettlan's mom screams.

• Rettlan's Mom: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Brianna started screaming too. Since Rettlan thought he had swag, he didn't scream; he just continued listening to the online tutorial.

• Brianna: Mom, do you want me to call the police on my pPhone 5?

• Rettlan's Mom: That would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Brianna begins to frantically dial 119, the emergency number for Tomville.

• Brianna: Hello?

A male dispatcher in his mid-40's picks up the phone.

• Dispatcher: What do you need today, young lady?

• Brianna: Umm, one of the bushes in my yard moved to the street on its own, and my mom and I are freaking out.

• Dispatcher: That sounds weird. Hmm. Try capturing the bush!

The dispatcher giggled, knowing this wasn't going to turn out well.

• Brianna: Okay, I'll tell my mom.

Brianna hangs up, even though the dispatcher was probably going to fool them even more. The mother motioned for Rettlan to open the garage door via the garage door opener in the van. Watching his mom and Brianna get their random dog-catching net, Rettlan became excited, shut down his pPad, and jumped out of the minivan. The bush begins to run once Rettlan jumps out loudly.

• Brianna: We'll get you bush!

The bush jumps down an open sewer in the street. Since the women are too scared to go down there, Rettlan grabs Brianna's phone (for light) and the net, and jumps fifteen feet down the sewer.

• Rettlan (landing): Ow, my butt!

While Rettlan is rubbing his sore butt, the bush is still running away. The swishing is quite loud. Green leaves are scattered on the brick sewer ground.

• Bush: Ooga ooga ooga!

Unable to see the bush, Rettlan turns on the GPS on Brianna's phone to guide him through the sewer

• Phone (female voice): Turn right at the big jagged pole. Then turn left after 1.5 miles.

• Rettlan: Miles? I didn't think plants were this fast!

Rettlan turns at the phone's destination, only to find the bush panting. It's a dead end. A yellow water cooler is propped up on a brown end table. A swig of water flies out of the leaves.

• Bush: Oh man, am I tired! Whoof!

A sewer lid opens from above the bush, which is about twenty feet in front of Rettlan. Rettlan hears lots of car horns, which means they're in the Tomville city limits. A wooden ladder lands in the sewer, and the bush rustles up. Surprisingly, nothing is dropped, which causes suspicion.

• Rettlan: I need to go back home and tell Mom and Brianna that the bush is in the Downtown area now.

Rettlan ran back to the home sewer on the path the phone gave him. To his advantage, the sewer door was still open, and there were metal steps on the side of the sewer. Once he climbed out, Rettlan ran inside to tell his mom and sister.

Chapter 2: Not Every Mannequin is a Mannequin

The evening had been quite nerve-wrecking for Rettlan's family. Not only was there a crazy bush penguin who escaped to the downtown area of Tomville, but it was already 8:30 PM, and no sign of the father. Nervous about his dad yet ecstatic, Rettlan told his mom and Brianna about the underground adventure.

• Rettlan: Did you know that there's actually a water cooler underground? Oh, and did you all know that the bush thing is actually a penguin in disguise?
• Rettlan's Mom: Hmm, very interesting. Do you know where the bush man went?
• Rettlan: Some construction workers let him out of the sewer, which was kind of weird. But from all of the traffic, I think he escaped in the downtown area, near the mall and near the county services.
• Rettlan's Mom: I definitely hope he doesn't destroy AutoCountry, as your sister and father would be pretty mad.

Tired of what seemed like fantasies about the sewer, Brianna went upstairs to try on some old clothes, only to find that most of them didn't fit. She went back downstairs and told her mom.

• Brianna: Hey Mom, most of my clothes are too small for me. Can we please go to the store tomorrow?
• Rettlan's Mom: Sure! Rettlan, do you wanna come?
• Rettlan: Oh sure! Is it Gollister? All of the models there are pretty.

Rettlan makes a very creepy facial expression.

• Brianna: I love you, Rettlan, but please don't be creepy in front of girls twice as old as you.

• Rettlan: Aww. :(

A silver Donha Respond pulled into the driveway. An aqua penguin with a mustache and hair exactly like Rettlan's got out. He is Rettlan and Brianna's dad. His real name is Joseph.

• Brianna and Rettlan: Dad!

• Joseph: Hi kids! What's going on?

• Rettlan's Mom: Oh, one of our bushes ran away. Please don't ask.

• Joseph: You know what I have to ask you...

Rettlan's parents had been on the verge of divorce for about six months now. Almost every night, they got into a massive argument, mainly involving Joseph's other affair, but other stuff too. It was and is very stressful for the two young penguins.

• Rettlan: So, what time do you want to leave tomorrow? I have soccer at 6 PM.

• Brianna: Bright and early. 9 AM. :).

• Rettlan: That sounds good.

• Brianna: Let's ask Mom about it once she's done arguing with Dad.

After their brutal argument, Rettlan's Mom and Joseph had red faces. This one had obviously been quite emotional. Brianna asked about the time, and her mother said yes. The whole house was asleep by 11, since Joseph had work, and the kids were going to go shopping.

---

It was 7 AM, and the penguins were up and cheerful. Joseph was gone, so there was no parental stress, and breakfast had been catered from Diamond. Yummy!

• Brianna: So Rettlan, what stores do you want to go to at Atum's Fantastic Mall of Goodness!? I want to go to Gollister (duh) and AutoCountry (duh).

• Rettlan: Meh, they closed StartLine several months ago. I'll just stick to wherever you go, unless you go to a girly place. Then, I'll just wait outside.

• Rettlan's Mom: Did you two have any bad thoughts about that bush while you all were sleeping?

• Rettlan: I had a nightmare that Brianna was a cannibalistic bush, and she was out to eat me! Gah!

• Brianna (sarcasm): Nice.

Brianna slaps her crazy younger brother.

• Brianna: Meh, I wasn't really scared. I just hope that bush doesn't pop up at the mall.

• Rettlan's Mom: Oh yeah, the police haven't responded to you since your call. I'm getting worried that this may be staged.

---

Time had flown by pretty quickly, and Rettlan, Brianna, and their mom were piled inside the Boyota going to the mall.

• Brianna: I hope Gollister has stuff that fits me.

• Rettlan: I hope Gollister has models that are hot.

Rettlan giggles.

• Brianna: Hush.

The van turned into the parking lot of Atum's Fantastic Mall of Goodness!. Very few cars were there, since most stores didn't open until 10 AM. Gollister, however, opened at 9. The penguin family jumped out of the van and hurriedly walked inside. Sled Racing music played on the first floor. Brianna and Rettlan were looking around, distracted with all of the beautiful marble decorations.

• Rettlan's Mom: Come on kids, we came here to go to Gollister. Let's just go to Gollister, then get out of here.

• Brianna: There's a car memorabilia store around here!

• Rettlan's Mom: Oh well.

Rettlan's Mom always shopped from Penguin's Club for all of her clothes, and she hated shopping in general. She always had to have a list of specific items she needed before she could be satisfied.

• Rettlan's Mom: Let's go inside.

Like other Gollister stores, the Tomville Gollister was very dark inside, making it impossible to see anything. Rettlan, who was still a bit scared about the bush of the previous night, was super concerned. Plus, the models weren't at the store yet; a double loss for Rettlan.

• Brianna: Oh yay, I found some pretty shirts! May I please try them on Mom?

• Rettlan's Mom: Oh sure! Go right ahead. Have you found anything yet Rettlan?

Rettlan was walking back to the Men's section of the store.

• Rettlan: Not yet.

Rettlan stared at one of the mannequins. It was a red penguin with blond hair and an orange swimsuit. However, this was a bad mannequin to look at. A stick came out from under the mannequin, and knocked Rettlan down. He was then pulled into the mannequin, screaming for help. This was already suspicious, since most mannequins were gray.

• Rettlan: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Mannequin: Erga, erga, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

The mannequin ran away, and Rettlan fell out from the mannequin's shorts. He was covered in red feathers.

• Rettlan's Mom: Are you alright?

• Rettlan: Yes. Nothing bad happened to me in there; I was just stuck in some creepy guy's pants.

Brianna bounded out of the dressing room.

• Brianna: Baby brother, are you seriously okay?

• Rettlan: Yeah. Just scared. There was a creepy bush yesterday, and a scary mannequin today. What should I expect next, a penguin hiding under my bed?

• Brianna: That would be me. Heh heh heh.

• Rettlan: Nice.

Startled, Rettlan's family left the mall and went home. It was 11 AM, and Rettlan didn't have soccer until 6, so he just relaxed on his computer and watched Jokemon, soccer, and car videos. Brianna was also watching car videos, while the mother was searching for who this creeper could be. Was it the same person? She'd find out.

Chapter 3: Penguins Fit Inside Soccer Balls?

It was already 5:45 PM, and little Rettlan was packing his navy blue soccer bag with cleats, a green hoodie, a couple balls, and a magenta towel used to wipe off his sweat. His mom had filled up a water bottle for him. Rettlan was still a bit concerned about the creeper around Tomville, worrying that he'd appear at his soccer practice outside the city limits.

• Rettlan's Mom: Come on, it's time to go!

• Rettlan: Alright Mom. I'm coming!

Rettlan swung his bag around his shoulder and put on his red Dr. Ray headphones as he headed out to the Boyota in the driveway. He hopped in the passenger seat, and he and his mom rode off to soccer in silence.

---

• Coach George: Twenty pushups for being five minutes late!

• Rettlan: But...

• Coach George: No buts! Do as I say, okay young man? And you seriously need to lower your butt on your pushups.

Coach George was/is a very strict soccer coach. Even if you're one or two minutes late, he makes you do pushups.

• Coach George: Come on kids, we have a game at 10 AM on Saturday morning! We don't need to lose for a fourth time in a row! Come on, we seriously lost to the soccer league in Bro Town 2-1! That's quite pathetic. Penguins, line up in your formations!

The penguins on Rettlan's team went and lined up. Ever since a physical altercation between Joseph (Rettlan's Dad) and George in 2011, George absolutely hated Rettlan. Rettlan sat on the metal bleachers beside his friend Brandon, whose right foot was broken.

• Rettlan: Is your foot doing alright?

• Brandon: Yeah. I just need some therapy, that's all. And my crutches are causing a rash on my flipper-pits.

• Rettlan: Sorry about that. Have you seen this suspicious man who disguises himself as normal things around Tomville?

• Brandon: No.

• Rettlan: I saw this guy disguised as a bush yesterday, and I saw him as a mannequin at the mall this morning.

• Brandon: Maybe it's Johnny. You know he and Brianna are obsessed with each other.

• Rettlan: But he's always busy. I mean, he runs a mall, runs Tomville, and is building communities within Tomville.

• Brandon: He and Penquino built Tom Atum a few weeks back. I think Johnny's just bored, since Tom is doing everything for him.

• Rettlan: Good point.

A soccer ball rolled up to Rettlan's feet. It was making high-pitched noises.

• Brandon: Holy (word not suitable for this wiki), what's that ball doing?

• Rettlan: I think someone is somehow hiding in there.

• Ball: Man, this is tight! Oi oi!

• Brandon and Rettlan: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two boys jumped up and hugged each other in fear.

• Mean Soccer Teammates: Hee hee hee.

• Coach George: I'll break them up.

Coach George threw a soccer ball at Rettlan and Brandon.

• Coach George: Fifteen pushups, each of you, now!

• Brandon: Aw man! But I have a broken foot!

• Coach George: Oh well.

Coincidentally, once the penguins were done doing their pushups, soccer practice was over. Joseph and Rettlan's Mom were in a huge argument back at home, so they were going to be late. Brandon lived far away, so his parents were still commuting. It was now 8:45 PM (soccer ended at 8:30), and the July sky was just starting to get dark. Mysteriously, Brandon and Rettlan went to find what happened with the soccer ball, only to find Atum's Wexus AFL parked by the bathrooms. The talking Pendidas soccer ball was right by the passenger door. Though excited to meet Atum, the two boys were certain that "The Tomville Creeper" was inside the car.

Chapter 4: Is It Johnny?

Lots of activity was going on inside the Wexus. The stereo was blaring rap music, Soke cans littered the unpaved ground outside, and the LED interior illumination could be easily seen from behind the bathrooms, where Brandon and Rettlan were hiding.

• Rettlan (whispering): Let's not talk, and hear and see what's going on inside Atum's cool car.

Rettlan and Brandon were shocked. A penguin that looked exactly like Johnny 115, the Tomville mayor and Atum's younger brother, was sitting in the passenger seat.

• Atum: So, how's the stalking going?

• Johnny?: It's going fabulous. I just hope Brianna doesn't get too concerned.

Brandon fainted. Rettlan almost had a heart attack.

• Atum: What the heck was that?

• Johnny?: Meh, probably a dead puffle. You know how crazy the traffic around here is, big brother.

It was now confirmed that Johnny was the creeper. The suspect had big Size 13 feet, was a red penguin with blond hair, and had an extreme obsession with Brianna. All of these key points matched up to Johnny. Thankfully, the Boyota Hazel was pulling into the parking lot, so Rettlan could tell his mom about who the creeper really was.

Chapter 5: Yes, It Is! But Does Brianna Believe It?

Once Rettlan told his mother about who the stalker was, she had a hard time driving home. Since Brianna was also obsessed with Johnny, it was going to be hard to tell Brianna, as she'd either be happy or scared.

• Rettlan's Mom: Brianna is going to go crazy when she finds out Johnny loves her.

• Rettlan: Yeah, but she gets scared easily. I know from experience. ;)

The van pulled into the driveway. Joseph had left for a hotel, so there wasn't any stress in the house. Brianna walked outside in her sexy Boyota Racing Development pajamas.

• Brianna: So, how was soccer?

• Rettlan: Benched again, talked to Brandon. Oh, and the creeper is Johnny.

• Brianna: Mayor Johnny? The hot guy?

• Rettlan: Duh.

• Rettlan's Mom: Come on, let's talk about this inside.

Rettlan's Mom locked the Boyota, and the penguins walked inside, going up to Rettlan's bedroom.

• Brianna: How did you know this?

• Rettlan: Atum's AFL was parked by the restrooms at the soccer complex, and he was casually talking to Johnny about his stalking expeditions.

• Brianna: So he creeps on SUVs? :P

Rettlan and his mom sat there confused.

• Rettlan: And Johnny called Atum "big bro." This is obviously him.

• Brianna: Do you have a recording? I want to hear about how much he's stalking me. :)

Rettlan was getting creeped out. Brianna was actually happy that Johnny was stalking her.

• Brianna: Cool, let's go dress shopping tomorrow. I'm getting a date with Johnny.

Though Brianna was happy that Johnny loved her back, Rettlan's Mom was super concerned. She was FURIOUS with Johnny, and was yelling at him through the phone. Arguments with Joseph gave her a good vocabulary.

• Rettlan's Mom: Sorry Brianna, Johnny is getting arrested ASAP. He admitted to me on the phone as being the creeper. He'll be back out on August 2.

So, a big mystery was instantly solved with a simple and subtle phone call. The creeper was found, and he's still serving jail time.

THE END.
