Prologue

     It was dawn of the 19th of April, the year of 2006. It was a bright sunny morning, the hills covered with lush and green grass and wildflowers. Deep in the woods nearby was a simple household at 607 Golden Wood Drive. Plain and ordinary as it seemed, it became the base of a great team, in a long, grueling fight filled with sorrow and despair...
     No one knew that an evil organization of superintelligent squirrels was forming. At the Communist Squirrel Base, their German leader, Gairdon, who joined the Communists, was describing a plan to his allies. "Ve vill conquer zem, vith zese-- grenades, svords, javelins, even some magic staffs, since ve haff mastered magic-- you name it! Ve haff all ze veapons ve vill need! Skvirrels... Ve vill attack!!!" he yelled.
     A large cheer erupted from the squirrels.
     Unaware of the upcoming onslaught of evil, fixing breakfast, was Joseph Anderson, a brown-haired and green-eyed average person who lived at 607 Golden Wood Drive. "Breakfast, guys!" he yelled.
     A voice soon called, "What are we having, Dad?"
     "Bacon, eggs, and pancakes!" he responded. Joseph was a great cook.
     "All right!" A boy, about the age of fifteen, came in. He had black hair and deep brown-black eyes as well, and his skin was white. He was a very cheerful and energetic kid. "My favorite!"
     Joseph said, "I know! Thought I'd make your favorite food today! After all, Colin, your birthday is next Saturday! The 25th!"
     "Yep!" he responded. "I can't wait to get my gift! Wonder what I'll get."
     "I won't tell you much, but it's something that can come in handy, if we ever need to get firewood," Joseph replied. Colin was completely stumped.
     Two more people entered, a black-haired and brown-eyed woman, and a fourteen-year-old girl with brown hair and brown eyes.
     "Morning, Dad! I can't wait to eat!" the girl said.
     "Good morning, Caitlyn!" Joseph replied. "Morning, Rose." He kissed Rose, his wife, on the cheek. "Well, now that everyone is here, we can eat! Dig in, guys!"
     Everyone eagerly sat down to eat.
     After breakfast, everyone went about their business. Colin left to go play his favorite video game, and Caitlyn left to go shower, since she always slept late on weekends. Rose went to the grocery store, and Joseph sat watching the sports news. No one in their out-of-the-way town-- Elmwood, Georgia-- expected what happened next... When the attack of the Communist Squirrels commenced!
