(Y/N) Your Name. (L/N) Last Name. 

It's the late 1950s. 1958 actually. You're a nineteen-year-old girl named (Y/N) (L/N). You live in the city of Chicago, Illinois. You live in your own apartment above a store and you live by yourself. You're actually a ballerina. You've been one for most of your life. Since childhood. 

Even when your dad Elmer was out fighting during combat (Possibly WWII.) when you were a child, your mom Barbara would take you to ballet classes. Luckily, your dad made it back home alive. He was discharged after being shot in the leg by a sniper. But you and your mom were thankful to have him home and he was more than happy to be with you two.

You're in your living room right now. You gotten done with your ballet dancing and you're watching your TV. The news is on and this suddenly come up from the anchor, "This just in, folks. We've received news that there's about to be a gang war about to break out..." You lean in and you listen. 

The anchor says, "That's right. The mob leader of our fair city himself... Huggy Wuggy has something to do with this, no doubt. He's up to something. But what? All I can tell the citizens of Chicago is that you don't go outside after the sun sets. Keep your family and friends safe. I repeat. A gang war is about to happen..." 

You say, "This city has a mafia?" You smirk and you say, "Interesting." You get up and you turn your TV off. You say, "I'm going out for an ice cream while it's still safe to go." You head out of your apartment and you head downstairs. You hear this, "(Y/N)! Hi!" 

You stop and you turn around. You see a familiar fuzzy pink girl approaching you. You smile and you say, "Kissy. Hi. How are you?" It's your neighbor, Kissy Missy. She's your age. Nineteen. You met her a couple of weeks ago when you moved into your apartment. She says, "Good. Hey, did you hear on the news? There's gonna be a gang war. Here in Chicago." You say, "Yeah. I saw that. The news anchor said so." She sighs.

You say, "What's wrong?" She says, "I never did tell you." You say, "Tell me what?" She says, "They mentioned Huggy Wuggy as the mob boss, right?" You say, "Yeah. What about him?" She says, "He's my brother." You look at her and you say, "Come again? Huggy Wuggy is your brother?" She says, "Yes. He became a mafia boss for a reason." 

You say, "Hey. Why don't you come with me to get ice cream and you can talk to me about it as we walk?" She smiles and says, "Sure, (Y/N)." You and Kissy walk down the sidewalk. You say, "So, what happened?" 

She sighs and says, "Long story short... Huggy's three years older than I am. Our dad was abusive. He would take his anger out on me. Huggy couldn't take much more as we got older. By the time he was thirteen, he lashed out on our father. Told him to never hurt me again. Our dad left and never returned. Mom thanked Huggy for saving me, but Huggy was beginning to change a bit." 

You say, "Go on." She says, "I was bullied in high school and he got to the point where he'd start to hire a few criminals to come in and threaten to kill the bullies if they didn't back off. The kids never bullied me again after that. They were afraid of coming near me without having to face my brother and his gang. And that's just it. I found out after 11th grade that Huggy was in a mafia. Let alone the boss. He told me that it was for my own safety and that he wouldn't let anyone hurt me unless they wanted to be buried alive in cement." 

After what she tells you, you say, "Wow. So it all started with an abusive father?" She says, "Yes. That's what changed my brother. He now shows no remorse for those who cross him. He may be a mob leader and extremely dangerous, but he's still my brother and I love him." 

You get to the ice cream parlor and you head inside. As you get in, the speaker in that place is playing Sugartime by The McGuire Sisters. You look around at customers sitting down and eating ice cream, having milkshakes, etc. 

You go up to the counter and the employee says, "Hi. Welcome to Playtime Ice Cream. What would you two ladies like?" You say, "I'll have a (your choice of ice cream)." He gets out a piece of paper and pen and he writes it saying, "Sure thing." Kissy says, "I'll take a cherry float. Whipped cream and cherry on top." He writes it down and says, "Alright. Is that all for you two today?" You say, "Yes sir." He says, "I'll get that for you." 

He gets your ice cream and he brings them to you. He sets the ice creams down by you and he says, "That'll be sixty cents." You pay him the sixty cents since both yours and Kissy's ice cream was thirty cents each. He says, "Enjoy your ice cream." You say, "Thanks." Kissy grins and says, "Yeah. Thanks, mister." You and Kissy walk to a booth and you sit down to enjoy your ice cream.

***********************************************

Meanwhile near the bay of Lake Michigan, there are a few warehouses. One of them however has a group of people inside of it. They didn't look like they'd be friendly, either. There are five men and one woman.

The men are Bron who's the literal brawn of the group. Like strong. He's a large orangish red brontosaurus dinosaur. Another is a yellow bunny guy with buck teeth. That would be Bunzo. He's kind of the crazy one of the group. The short green robot with tank wheel like legs is Boogie Bot. The brains of the group. 

The caterpillar like dog one is P.J. Pugapillar. He's blue and purple in color. He's the one that's always hungry. He'll even eat the victim that the boss himself has them bring in when allowed. The lady is a pink long-limbed woman with green eyes, pink hair in a ponytail, pink dress, etc. That would be Mommy Long Legs. She may be a woman, but she knows what's up when it comes to what they do.

The boss... is Huggy Wuggy himself. He's a blue fuzzy man, red lips, etc. He's in a black suit and wearing a hat. He has a cigar in his mouth and he's sitting behind his desk, under a light. P.J. is inside a wall. He only comes out when needed by Huggy to eat the victim who crossed him.

Bunzo says, "So hey uh, boss... Any ideas about the gang war? Where they're going to be?" Bron says, "I hear they're going to be having it right in the town part. Near those stores and apartments on Maple Street." 

Huggy looks up at them. Cigar in his mouth. Mommy says, "You look like there's something you know about that part of Chicago, sir. What is it?" Huggy says, "The gang war will be taking place near Maple Street, huh?" They all nod. Boogie says, "Affirmative, boss. No family is safe over in that spot if they don't pack up, now." 

Huggy says, "Well, boys... lady. Luckily, I've got someone here. He says he's got a daughter that lives over there." Bunzo grins and says, "Ooh, you mean that older man standin' right outside?" Huggy says, "Bron. Bunzo... bring him inside my office." They walk out. 

Mommy stands there and says, "Anything Mommy can do, sir?" Huggy looks at her and says, "Yeah. See if my shirt's dry yet, would ya? And iron it while you're at it. I've been meanin' to say something to ya about it, doll." Mommy says, "Sure thing, boss. Anything Mommy can do for you, she's right here." She walks off and goes elsewhere. 

(It's the 50s. There was still quite a bit of sexism then.)

Bron and Bunzo bring a man in. He's middle aged, has glasses on, etc. That man actually turns out to be Elmer (L/N)... Your WWII veteran father. Huggy says, "Ah, Mr. (L/N). From what I've heard, you were out during combat fourteen years or so back. Am I right?" 

Elmer says, "Y-yes boss. I was discharged after being shot by a sniper." Huggy says, "You seem like a tough guy, then... I have a job for you, (L/N)." Elmer says, "Name it, boss. I just want to save my daughter is all. She lives over on Maple Street." Huggy says, "And so does my sister... Kissy Missy. So here's what I want you to do." 

Elmer looks at him. Huggy says, "I want you to drive over there and bring the two of them here by sunset. We'll keep them here and they can't get away until this gang war ends. Gang wars are not something a woman should be involved with." Elmer says, "Alright, Huggy... I'll do it."
