Adventures of Texas

Author's note: This story was originally hosted over on Writing.com, but has been transferred over here so that people may read it again! Wherever possible, the original authors have been credited. Otherwise, the chapter was written by Squashedflat. The characters and settings are all from the game Texas in Trouble, which can be found here.

Additions are more than welcome, and I've left character bios for all the characters in the story guidelines sidebar (which comes up if you're adding or editing a chapter).

Enjoy!
