STORY

Prepare to be blown away by amazing storytelling once again

This is Fred the Blob


This is Fred's best friend Timmy




Timmy™ and Fred are best friends. They've known each other for two days!


Timmy™'s Birthday is soon, so Fred wants to buy him a present online



But the Postal Service  is absolutely terrible! 

Fred will miss Timmy™'s birthday if he waits for 30 day shipping! 

Fred is fed up and decides that he is going to go get that present himself.  No matter the cost.



So Fred comes up with the ultimate solution: Mail himself to the factory the presents are made, it has to be there!



Sadly, shipping takes just as long both ways


So Fred is left with no choice but to break OUTSIDE THE BOX and work through whatever is in his way to give his friend THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!


Everyone loves fred :]
