The Best Damn Story Starters Period

Hi all! Sort of the opposite of the recent "unsequellable" challenge, I want you to start a story. Something nice and open-ended, cliffhanger-y and whatnot. *HOWEVER.* You will not be considered for any prizes unless you write at least *two (2)* additional stories about someone else's story starters! _(For the confused, you have to write three stories total: one starter and two additional sequels or prequels, or at least one of each.)_ Feel free to sequel someone's starter multiple times, prequel several, or anything, really! We certainly need more storylines here on Ficly. You've got two weeks, get cracking!
