Hello readers, I'm VickyT36, I thought of this idea for onward a while ago, and decided to make it happen. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Year Later

It had been a whole year since brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot when on a quest, discovered magic, and brought their dad back from the dead. Things had changed, and for the better. Ian became more confident, he had friends at school, and he managed to get his learner's permit.

Barley found a part-time job as a comic and toy store worker. And the citizens around them began appreciating the past a little more, discovered the magic in the world, and re-discovered themselves.

Life in New Mushroomton was much more interesting.

On an average day, Ian had just woken up, and was getting ready for school. After he was clean and dressed, he went downstairs, and was greeted by Blazy, the Lightfoot's pet dragon.

"Good morning, Blazy. (Chuckles), down girl." he said, as Blazy licked his face.

"Morning, Ian." greeted his mother, Laurel.

"Morning, Mom."

He went into the kitchen, and saw her getting some water after her workout.

"You ready for the day?" she asked.

"You bet." Ian replied, as he got some cereal.

"Barley leave for work already?"

"Yeah, he says he'll pick you up from school though."

"Great."

As he ate his cereal, Laurel's boyfriend, Officer Colt Bronco came in.

"Morning, Laurel." he greeted.

"Hi, honey." Laurel greeted.

They kissed, and Colt turned to Ian.

"Good morning, Ian."

"Hey, Colt."

"Things going well at school?"

"Yeah, things are good. Speaking of which, I better get going."

Ian put his dishes in the sink, kissed his mother goodbye, and left for school.

Out front he met up with his friends from his science class. They all had a great talk about the latest trends, and when the bell rang they went to class. Classes went pretty well, and he sat with his friends at lunch.

When school ended they hung out on the steps while waiting for their rides.

"So Ian are you still using your magic?"

"You bet, I practice everyday with Barley." Ian answered.

"You'll have to show us some of your new spells sometime."

"Sounds good to me."

Suddenly they heard a vehicle driving up. Ian recognized it as Guinevere 2, and Barley was at the wheel.

"Brother, your magical transportation awaits." Barley called.

"(Chuckles) bye guys." said Ian.

"See you, Ian."

He got in the van, and they rode off.

"So Barley, how was work?"

"Oh it was great. Sold some merchandise and entertained some kids."

"Great."

When they got home, Laurel was still gone. Before starting his homework, Ian decided to hang out with Barley for a while. Barley gave Ian magic lessons, they read up on new spells, and watched some TV.

Around 5:00, Ian had just finished his homework, and Laurel came home from work.

"Hey, boys." she greeted as she came inside.

"Hi, Mom how was work?" Barley asked her.

"Oh it was fine. Colt called and he's going to join and bring us dinner."

"Great." said Ian.

Just like his word, Colt brought carry out from Manticore's Tavern. They all shared a nice dinner, and watched TV afterwards. That night as Ian got ready for bed, he thought about how good his life was now.

He had a good relationship with his family members, and his mom's boyfriend, he did went and had friends at school, and he had the ability to do magic, something not many people were able to do. And it was all thanks to that quest last year.
