Chapter 1: At the Library

This is JumpStartville. A location which may be a hometown to many of our wonderful and cheerful inhabitants who dwell there and teach all those educational benefits for children to learn. Houses and shops are all over the place and many facilities. All who live there called it, their beloved home.

Today is a wonderful Wednesday as it cuts to a pathway on a street where 2 characters, a frog named CJ and a firefly which is his partner named Edison are walking by.

Edison: "Did you know that Eleanor has opened a library in town?"

CJ: "That's great! I hope I can borrow a book from her workplace."

Edison: "What kind of books are you going to borrow CJ?"

CJ: "Maybe books about adventures and treasures since these words rhyme."

Edison: "Treasure? Now you're talking my language." They laughed together as they recall their adventures.

Soon enough...

After walking for several minutes, "Ah! There it is!" In front of them is the library and as they entered, they could see many bookshelves, posters that says many encouraging words about reading and some tables and chairs for others to sit down and read. There are also couches and large beanbags for sitting down to read. Right now, CJ and Edison were amazed at the interior design as they even saw their friends in there reading and borrowing books. "Amazing!" CJ exclaimed. "Yeah! It reminds me of a song from Richard Scarry's!" Edison recalled. "Really? How does it go?" asked CJ. "I'm glad you asked. MUSIC!" Edison called out. Some random music was being played as Edison cleared his throat and began.

Edison:
At the library! The library!
You can find any book from A to Z!
At the library! The library!
There are books for you and me!

The other jumpstart characters upon hearing Edison sing joined the fun

She then opened it revealing the story of Cinderella.

Edison:

There are books for you and me!

Hopsalot:(Holding 2 books)

All: "YEAH!"

All:

At the library! The library!
There are books for you(pointing at each other and one another)and me!(Pointing at themselves)

By the time the song ends(Remember, this song belongs to Richard Scarry and Edison just enjoys listening to it), all laughed about it until, "Shhhhhh!" All turned to see Eleanor putting her pointer finger on her lips and shushing them. All remembered why she did that because the next thing it happened, silence has filled the library as CJ and Edison began exploring the place. "Let's see...acrobatics...history...machines...sound" The duo went through shelf by shelf until, "Oh look! Treasures and Legends! This should be an interesting book to read. Let's borrow it!" CJ exclaimed. "My thoughts exactly partner!" Edison agreed as they went tot he front desk where Eleanor was attending to Frankie who also passed her some invitation. "Okay Frankie. I'll be there."

"Cool! See you on Saturday!" As Frankie left, CJ and Edison went next. "Nice library." CJ complimented. "Thank you. It was a great idea for me to move all my reading materials here since I hardly had enough space to store them all. Fortunately, Hopsalot and Kisha helped me build this place and there, I get to work here." said Eleanor. "Neat!" replied CJ. "Okay, we would like to borrow this book."

"Okay, let me stamp it." Eleanor took a stamper which has ink and stamped the book. "Here you go. Enjoy reading it!"

"One question to ask. When do we need to return the book?" asked Edison.(why would he ask that is because this is the first time the library was open in town)"You have to return the book within 2 weeks. If not, you have to pay the library fee depending on how many days you exceed from the date to return. Fortunately, they're cheap." answered Eleanor

"Okay, like how much?"

"Each type of book that was borrowed has a different price and duration to read. Yours for instance is only 3 dollars if ever you return the book after due date. The longer the days, the higher the price." she explained. With understanding, they thanked her and left the library as Eleanor attended to Kisha.

Now outside...

Exiting the library, CJ and Edison ran into Frankie who appeared to be waiting for them. "Hey guys. I have something for you." Frankie passed both of them invitations and both read them.

This is what it says.

BBQ party at my house! Drop by at 11am on Sunday!

CJ: "Cool! I bet you invited the whole gang along with others! No wonder we saw you give one to Eleanor!"

Frankie: "That's right my friend!"

Edison: "Will there be lots of food and games in the BBQ?"

Frankie: "Of course! There will be pizza, burgers, hotdogs and many more to be grilled and there will be activities in the BBQ!"

CJ: "Wow! Sounds like fun! Well, gotta go and see you on Saturday!"

Eleanor(appearing from the window)"It's 'got to'."

CJ: "Uhhh...never mind. We'll be there."

Frankie: "Okay, see you!"

After their friendly conversation, they went their own way to do their own stuff.

That night...

Inside the living room, CJ clad in his bathrobe can be seen sitting on his sofa as he opened the book, Treasures and Legends. "Edison! Are you done?"

"I'm here!" The firefly now in his PJs flew in as he landed on his partner's shoulder. "Okay, let's see..." CJ opened the book and first, looked at the content page. "So many treasures! This should be interesting..." CJ started browsing through page by page.

Edison: "Ooh. The Lightforce Sword! Legend says that it has the power to give life or take it away. Seems a bit scary and dangerous."

CJ: "Dangerous? Ha! No danger shall interfere with our adventures Edison!" He flipped to the next page.

Edison: "Wow! The Ring of Protection. It says whoever wears it will be protected from any evil spirits and threats!"

CJ: "I suppose it has value...no matter, let's proceed." CJ flipped through a few more pages when something caught his eye. "Amazing! The Legendary Elemental Tokens!"

Edison: "Tokens? Aren't they used a coins in game stalls and machines in arcades?"

CJ: "Yes and too bad, we don't have an arcade in this town."

Edison: "But as far as I remember, Hopsalot made plans to construct one."

CJ: "Right...anyway, it says here that the tokens were forged and empowered with the power of the natural elements. There are 6 elemental tokens which are the Fire Token, Water Token, Lightning Token, Wind Token, Earth Token and Ice Token. However, due to it's power and in fear of others wanting to get hold of it, each token was sealed in a sacred location and legend says that the tokens have a hidden ability once all are collected and only one individual will harness all 6 elemental powers."

Edison: "How surprising. And I thought it's impossible to have superpowers."

CJ(chuckling): "Superpowers? Hmmm...yeah, my guess is that it may be the hidden ability but we need to confirm about it if we want to acquire the tokens."

Edison: "Well then, anything else?"

CJ(flipping to the next page)"The next page shows where they are kept. The Fire Token is sealed in the Temple of Eternal Flame. The Water Token is sunk into the Undersea Ocean Palace. The Lightning Token is placed in the Thunder Shrine. The Wind Token is hidden in the Altar of Tranquil Breeze. The Earth Token is left in the Underground Desert Ruins and the Ice Token is kept in the Arctic Caverns."

Edison: "Plus, the map in the page has revealed new locations outside of our town!"

CJ: "Exactly! Which is why we have found our quest!"

Edison: "So true. When do we leave?"

CJ: "In 3 days time."

Edison: "But that's also on Frankie's BBQ."

CJ: "Then, we leave for our adventure after the BBQ."

Edison: "Okay then. Boy, I'm tired. We should go to bed and tomorrow, we'll prepare for the upcoming adventure."

CJ: "You sure have great ideas partner. Well, I need to get some rest."

Edison: "Okay, goodnight and thanks for inviting me to stay over for the night."

CJ: "You're welcome. Goodnight."

So CJ put the book on the table in front of him and after turning off the lights, he and Edison(with the help of his light source)went to bed as JumpStartville is as quiet as the night.

Okay, I sure did what I can do to make it a good story since it's my first time writing it. Hope you all enjoyed it. Well, see you again and soon, chapter 2 will be updated...
