Introduction
(The bit you don't read cos it's too dull and boring)
The adventure started when the seven soon-to-be-superheroes, Jenny, Jimmy, Sarah, Stephen, Anthony, Taku and Luke (yes, ok, maybe that's six superheroes and one extra) joined forces to find the five soon-to-be-forgotten-but-at-the-time-very-important things:
- The place where rain comes from
- Somewhere worse than Manchester
- An answer to the age-old question "What was the maths prep?"
- The relevance of brown in 20th century life, and the role played by brown in the continuation of the human race
- A large ball of cotton wool
There was no real reason for finding out these things, but the thought it might make a funny story, and since Simon was so sad, boring and without any friends whatsoever, they thought they'd let him write it down, while they:
(Jenny, Jimmy, Sarah, Anthony, Stephen, Taku and Luke) went off and had lots of fun:
(Jimmy, Jenny, Gareth, Lewis, Isabel-he wishes, Little Sarah, and um... and... a... computer?!))
Their adventure would take them into danger, and they would have to overcome unknown perils as they searched high (Anthony's head) and low (his sperm count) for the whereabouts of the things above.
