    About this ebook

    Pegasus Dave cannot help but overhear Squirrel Steve of the East’s plan to outlaw puns by finding the chief, and Pegasus Dave loves puns! How can he possibly stop Squirrel Steve of the East outlawing puns? Well, he is in luck: Instead of finding the chief, Squirrel Steve of the East found the sheriff! It turns out the chief is in the North, and they are in the West. Squirrel Steve of the East discovers he needs people to sign a petition, and he needs to plan out the best route to the North! However, Pegasus Dave of the West is determined to stop him by making another petition: To keep puns allowed! The race is on! Who will get the most signatures for their petition? Pegasus Dave of the West, or Squirrel Steve of the East?

      Chapter 1

      Let the Pun-ishment Commence!

      ‘So, Mr. Squirrel,’ a light-brown meerkat continued as he began to hand over an alcoholic beverage to a red squirrel with a yellow cape and silver sword, ‘what brings you here to the West, then? We don’t get many visitors from the East.

      ‘I heard that the chief was here,’ the squirrel responded in a serious tone of voice while drinking from his glass. ‘I want to finally get all these puns outlawed! They’re driving me round the bend!’

      ‘Sheriff Sheep Toory should be around here somewhere,’ the meerkat replied while tidying up all the alcohol on the shelves behind him. ‘I’m sure he’ll be able to help you out.’

      ‘You look exhausted,’ the squirrel stated as he stared at the meerkat bartender. ‘Just how long have you been awake for?’

      ‘I start early every morning, and then when I finally finish my work, I sometimes go out with some friends to have a few pints of my own.’

      ‘I see. Maybe you’re overdoing it a bit.’

      While they were continuing to chat, a white Pegasus with a brown western hat and a brown whip was trying to listen in on the conversation.

      ‘Why would anybody want to outlaw puns?’ the Pegasus mused in shock. ‘Also, why would Meerkat Owen of the West Bar want to help him out? Just who is this squirrel, anyway? I should finish drinking my tea quickly and try to find answers! This situation could get furry bad if I let it continue!’

      At that moment, the squirrel suddenly stood up and wandered across to where the Pegasus was.

      ‘You’re the main reason I’m doing this!’ the squirrel stated in anger. ‘Soon, you’ll see just how much the world hates puns!’

      ‘Being a Pegasus, I’m pretty sure I’m always the mane reason for things!’ the Pegasus joked.

      ‘That’s it!’ the squirrel suddenly yelled in a fuming tone of voice. ‘I, Squirrel Steve of the East will put an end to your shenanigans, Pegasus, uh, Pegasus Someone of the Something…’

      ‘Pegasus Dave of the West, sir!’ the Pegasus responded with an anxious smile on his face.

      ‘Yeah, okay, I’m off to see the chief…’

      As soon as Pegasus Dave had finished his tea, he galloped off after Squirrel Steve.

      ****

      After Squirrel Steve had found and entered the sheriff’s courtroom, he noticed that it looked quite a bit more run-down than the buildings in the East, with wooden floors and windows that looked like they could smash with a tap from a hand.

      ‘This courtroom looks like a dump,’ Squirrel Steve proclaimed as he wandered through the courtroom, searching for the sheriff.

      ‘Hey, now, Ah’d mind what you say in these parts, lad!’ a weird voice stated. ‘What brings you to these parts, lad?’

      ‘You don’t really sound like a western sheep, do you?’ Squirrel Steve responded to the sheriff, who seemed to be a white sheep wearing a brown western hat with a Sheriff’s badge on it. ‘Were you born in the West?’

      ‘Why-Aye man!’ the sheep responded in a serious tone of voice. ‘I’m Sheriff Sheep Toory of the West!’

      ‘Right, I’d like to make a request, Sheriff Sheep Toory of the West!’

      ‘Ee, lad! Ah’ll see what Ah can do.’

      ‘This is one weird sheep…Uh, I’d like to outlaw puns!’

      ‘Howay, man! Ah don’t do those requests! The Chief of the North does those, I’m afraid.’

      ‘Alright, so where can I find him?’

      ‘…’ Sheriff Sheep Toory stared at Squirrel Steve with an odd look of surprise on his face. ‘Why, in the North!’

      ‘Okay, I guess that’s all he knows. Well, I’ll be seeing ya!’

      ‘Hold on, lad! You’ll need to get lots of people to sign your petition if you wish to get the chief to listen to your cause!’

      ‘Petition…right…Guess that means I’ll need some paper, then...’

      ‘Ah could supply you with some of those, lad!’

      ‘Excellent, thanks!’ Squirrel Steve said with a grin on his face as he accepted the paper. ‘I’ll be off, then!’

      ****

      After Squirrel Steve had left the courtroom, he noticed Pegasus Dave standing outside, staring at him.

      ‘What do you want, Dave?’ Squirrel Steve queried the Pegasus in a serious tone of voice.

      ‘Could I have one of those pieces of paper in your hand?’ Pegasus Dave pleaded.

      ‘Yeah, sure. I could always use the back when I run out of room for signatures on one side. Just don’t even think about following me! I go my own separate path, got it?’

      ‘Uh-huh, uh-huh!’ Pegasus Dave acknowledged the squirrel while nodding.

      ‘I’ll beat you to everyone, anyway,’ Squirrel Steve stated as he rushed towards the Northwest.

      ‘Looks like he’s going to the Northwest first,’ Pegasus Dave mused. ‘Then I bet he’ll go in an anticlockwise direction. I’d better follow him, quickly!’

      With that, Pegasus Dave galloped towards the
