But there was one really big problem; Jimmy was really scared of Tommy the monkey because Tommy is better than Jimmy at football. Jimmy was also a little bit jealous of Tommy.

Hello my name is Jack and I am made from fire. I fell into a fire and that is how I became fireboy. I have a friend called Boxy who lives on Box World. I met Boxy after ordering a portal to visit different realms, but instead, I got Boxy… I never ordered anything from there again.
