THE BEGINNING

Author's Notes: This is my first Wander Over Yonder Fan Fiction, so bear with me while I try to get personalities and the story right. Also, I'll be writing the story based on prompts, most of the time. Once I get going, if anyone has a prompt for me that they think is interesting enough, put the title of it in CAPS in your review with or without a summary (I may or may not use the summary if I pick it). I'll choose which ones I want to do – I'm very picky, just letting you know and my focus is nowhere near perfect right now. This might be a little AU, but hopefully, it'll still be good. And for the record, these first few chapters are how Wander's journey started. I wanted it to be original and clever. Let me know how I'm doing. Reviews are appreciated, but please remember that only constructive criticism is accepted by yours truly – I don't listen to rudeness, ranting, or trolling anymore, and I will block you if you try. If you can help me better my writing, however, I welcome it. Anywhooooo, on with the show!

It was quiet in the Star Galaxy as the planets continued to sleep. But the sun would soon be rising and a new day would soon commence.

Dawn was just beginning on the planet of Stellaria and the citizens of the planet, short folks with different colored furs, were slowly waking. A pale-yellow-furred boy on a bike scampered from door to door, placing a single package of newspapers on each doorstep.

When he reached one of the houses, however, the door opened, and another orange-furred Stellarian came out, smiling. "Ah, thank ya so much, Tim! I'll take that off your hands, if you don't mind!"

"No thanks needed, Wander. I'm just doin' my job." He handed over the newspaper to Wander before nodding his goodbyes. "Have a good day."

Wander smiled widely and walked back into his family's house, the newspaper in hand. The Stellarian citizen walked into the living room and held the newspaper out to his father.

"I got the paper fer ya, Pops." Wander said to the darker orange, almost brown, furry Stellarian. His father smiled down at the small boy as he took the paper from his outstretched hands.

"That's a good boy, Wander. Now, let's see what's goin' on taday."

As Wander looked over his shoulder, his father looked through the pages of the daily paper.

"Ah ha, the Annual Fishing Competition is goin' on today at 2:00 this afternoon. Do you wanna join in the fun with your siblings, Wander?"

Wander shrugged. "I don't know if Windy and Wood will want to join. Windy's only nine, and even though Wood's just turned twenty-three, he's always sayin' that fishin' is too easy ta be considered fun ta him."

His father chuckled, "Well, why don't you ask them anyway. You'll never know their answer till then."

Wander shrugged again and went in search for his older sibling. He found him in his attic room.

"Hey Wood, whatchya doin'?" Wander asked his brother, a slightly taller, browner, messier, and much moodier version of Wander.

Wood sighed grumpily. "I was sleeping. What do you want, Fur-ball?"

Wander frowned. "Didn't Mom and Dad tell you not to call me that?"

Wood scoffed. "You seem to think I care what Mom and Dad say."

Wander sighed in defeat. "Fine, I just came up to ask you if you wanted to come to the Annual Fishing Competition."

Wood glared down at him. He looked like he wanted to say something really bad, but he held it back and instead said, "No. Now, how about you go ask Windy to go with you instead. Maybe that brat will be more accepting of your weirdness than I am. Just go away."

Wander glared at his brother. "Why are you always so mean?"

Wood retaliated, "Why are you always so childish? You're two years younger than me and yet you act just as bad as the brat!"

Wander could feel himself ready to blow, but his father called up to him.

"Wander, I hope you two aren't fighting."

Inhaling deeply and letting it out in a big gust, Wander turned away from his smirking brother and walked down the steps, thinking to himself, 'You would probably enjoy it if I wasn't here at all.'

Wander founds his sister just outside Wood's bedroom.

Wander's sister was much more understanding and cheerful than Wood. Windy had more peachy-orange fur, their mother being having light peach-colored fur. Like Wander, she had a happy personality, but like Wood said, was very childish. However, being only nine and a half, her parents overlooked it. They assured that if once she turned thirteen, she didn't start acting more grown up; they were starting teaching her better.

Wander personally loved his little sister just the way she was.

"Hiya Wander," The littler Stellarian said with a smile. "Mama and Papa tol' me ta come find ya! They said you wanted somethin'."

Wander smiled with his feelings about Wood from before all but forgotten and bent over a little to look her in the eye. "Yeah, I was wonderin' if you wanted to go with me to the Annual Fishin' Competition today."

Windy smiled, "Sure! When is it?"

Wander explained, "The paper said it's at 2:00 in the afternoon." He glanced at the clock. It read 9:50 AM.

"How about we get ready and leave at about 1:30? That way we can get there, set up and be ready early."

Windy nodded. "Sounds good ta me. Let's tell Papa."

Grabbing her brother's hand, she pulled him into the living room where their parents were relaxing and began to explain the plan…

A/N: Okay, I honestly kept switching the title for this particular prompt because I didn't know what to call it. But as you can see, I called it 'THE BEGINNING' because it is in fact the beginning of the story – lame, but whatever. I know the basics of what's going to happen next. But this may be a little AU eventually. And since I'm a romance chick, I'm going to put an OC that I SINCERELY hope is not going to turn into a Mary Sue in the story. I've already drawn her…like, 5 freaking times and I'm still not happy with the final piece. Probably the style. It's an EVVVVVILLLLLL style that I'm not used to.

IMPORTANT: I've went back and edited this a second time. Story-wise, it's the same, but Wood's age was incorrect as was Wander's father's language/speech. I messed up a lot and didn't realize it. Sorry! If there is still more wrong, it's because I'm rushing. ^^; Wander's father is supposed to have a southern accent like Wander, though, so there's your clue.
