Sid woke up strapped to a surgical style table in a sterile white room with very bright lights. "What's going on?" he asked the figures moving around the table. They looked blurry at first, but when they got closer he could see one of them looked like a doctor.
When no one answered him, he paid more attention to his situation. His arms were over his head. Wide straps went across his chest, stomach and knees and his wrists and ankles were shackled to the top and bottom of the table. A sheet covered him up to his neck.
A person dressed like a doctor told him he was to be a 'breeding sire'. Not sure what that meant, Sid struggled against the restraints and asked again to be released.
"We need you to make some babies - you know how that happens, don't you?"
"Well yeah, I guess, but I'm a little young don't you think?"
The doctor had on a cap that completely covered his hair, and a mask like he was getting ready for surgery. Sid thought his eyes looked so familiar. "Oh don't worry, you will be fine. These ladies have all been waiting for your arrival."
A line of girl's giggles standing nearby giggled. Sid looked over at them and smiled shyly. Sid thought, okay, even though I don't know what's going on, if they turn me loose to um, make babies with these girls, I can get away.
"Well? Untie me so I can make some babies!" Sid demanded. The 'doctor' approached the table and pulled the sheet down revealing to Sid, the girls and everyone else in the room that he was completely naked. Sid gasped when he saw himself, and looked around frantically.
"Not that way - you won't need to be untied for this. You don't get to actually touch any of them, silly." Each of the girls held out their specimen jars and giggled again.
The doctor moved in closer to Sid, holding a syringe with a huge needle and some sort of plastic thing with thin clear tubes attached to it. "I will insert this end, in you - and each of the girls will get a little."
The girls got closer too, giggling and holding out their cups closer. "No! I don't want to!" Sid squirmed, panicking. They were all standing close around his very exposed body and he really wanted to shrivel up and die.
The doctor leaned close and pulled down his mask. Sid saw the doctor - he was really Tobey!
"Tobey! What are you doing to me? What's going on?"
"It's ok Sid, it won't hurt much, and this way you don't have to do your health education homework."
"Wha . . .?"
"Sid! Come on! You didn't do your homework and now we are going to be late, again!"
"Wha?" Sid said again, not really awake enough to comprehend.
"Did you sleep all night, here on the desk?"
"Yeah, I guess I did."
"Well I hope you studied a little we're gonna have to know words like fallopian for the sex ed test today!"
"Yeah, right . . . fallopian." Sid shook off the really creepy feeling he had all over, relieved to see he was dressed. He had never even gotten undressed from the day before. He jumped up and ran for the shower while Tobey went downstairs for breakfast.

While the three were at school, Mr. Wu had an above-ground pool set up in the garden for the summer. He kept Barney out of school for the occasion, since he was the one who had to set it up. It was very sturdy, meant to be up year round. The pool was five feet deep and twenty feet across the circle shaped sides.
After Barney finished setting the whole thing up for him, and was filling it with water, his dad came out and boasted about what a wonderful thing he had done for his customers. Poor Barney just rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Wu's Garden, Eat and Get Wet! What a great summer slogan! I've done it again! Barney, when you get done with whatever you're doing, get the tables and chairs set up and the lantern's lit for dining Al Dente."
"Dad, I think you mean Al Fresco, dining outside. Al Dente means pasta or rice that is cooked to a firm consistency but not too hard."
"Barney! I know what it means - Too much talk not enough work!"
When Sid, Sue and Tobey got home from school, Tobey ran right upstairs to get on his bathing suit, thinking it had to be set up by now!
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
A streak in a bumblebee, yellow and black swimsuit shot past them all, standing around the pool. Tobey leapt into the air, screaming and came down in a cannonball form into the half-way full pool!
Barney screamed, "No wait!" to warn him the pool wasn't full yet, but Tobey was already in the air. When Tobey hit bottom he flattened out, floating on the surface of the shallow water and didn't move except to say "OW!"
Sid had followed, and looked in at him. "Hurt, didn't it?"
"Sid, I hurt my butt!" he rolled in the water and got his feet on the bottom to stand up, holding his left butt cheek with one hand, he used his right hand to send a large spray of water at Sid, squealing with joy as he splashed him!
"Tobey! I will get you! You have to come out of there sometime!"
Tobey put his thumbs to his nostrils and waggled his fingers at him. He started giggling so hard he fell back in the water. To his delight he found the hose that Barney was using to fill up the pool, stuck his finger in the end and aimed the stream at Sid.
Sid jumped and flipped out of the way and pressed himself flat behind the Scholar Stone, planning Tobey's demise the whole time.
Barney looked out and saw what was going on. "Tobey! Aim the hose back in the pool or it will never fill up!"
Tobey put the spray back in the pool but didn't drop the hose, just waiting for Sid to come out from behind the Scholar Stone.
"Super Hero Tobey, waits for the enemy's attack, not knowing how it will come, only that it will." Tobey made exploding sounds with his mouth and pretending Sid was shooting at him leapt up and landed back underwater planning his surprise attack.
He was sure his trick would work and Sid would come out when he saw that he was underwater. He waited for it . . . and jumped up with the hose spraying right on the Scholar Stone, and Nana, who had come out to lock the cookbook up.
"Tobey!" Nana shook the water off the book and went back in to make a 'drying' herb mixture that when sprinkled on any surface would soak up the extra water. Mr. Wu heard Mei Hua yell at Tobey and it reminded him that the only one working was Sue!
When Mr. Wu got outside, Sid was rolling on the ground laughing his guts out, and Tobey was looking embarrassed and a little afraid about what he had done to Nana. Mr. Wu yelled at the boys to get back to work!

In Kong Li's lair.
The dimly lit stone room just off a small branch of the sewer hid a terrible experiment. The suffering small creature in the sun tea jar fought hard and spastically thrashed every time Kong Li came near it and if he touched it, or injected something into the jar with it, the small body quivered and sometimes splattered itself on the sides of the jar trying to get away.
This really annoyed Kong Li as it was slowing his progress quite a bit. Each time he 'fed' the little thing some of the wang poo ginko sauce, it strongly resisted. Kong Li tried over and over to access and control its behavior.
Every time he showed it a picture of Tobey that he had on the desk in a frame, the blob cooed and purred like it recognized him.
Under the influence of the recipe, it was supposed to jump up and attack, attaching itself to Tobey and allowing Kong Li to control him from a distance.
Adding some ginger to the potion finally did the trick and Kong Li did control its actions, mostly. But it still resisted his commands when it saw Tobey. Kong Li was further annoyed, that one boy was the one he really wanted to punish for all his own past failures.
Leaving the picture turned away, from the jar Kong Li had the blob change through a routine of square, circle and triangle three times and pronounced his experiment a success.
"Soon I will finally have the cookbook. You will turn Tobey against the others and trick Nana into getting the cookbook from its hiding place and then destroy them all, starting with Tobey." Kong Li thought a moment and smiled. "Now for some insurance."
Sandy was standing perfectly still nearby, like a mannequin. Kong Li created "Sandy" using a variety of the Shape Shifter recipe of his own invention. "Sandy, your job is to make sure this blob does its job. You will keep the other's out of the way and ensure our success."

Tobey came home all depressed from school again. Sid had a new friend that he brought home from school every afternoon and Tobey couldn't help but be a little jealous. His best friend was ignoring him for some dumb old girl. They hadn't even played video games for days. Sue was busy mooning over Barney and Tobey was lonely.
Sid came in with his arm around Sandy and Tobey looked away, pretending to be texting someone on his phone. "He Tobey, don't you think that would be easier to do if your phone wasn't upside down?" Sid teased when he sat down in the booth across from him. Sandy slid in close right next to him and put her hand on his thigh and gave his tight muscular leg a little squeeze.
"Well, no Sid! I am so good, I can do it right side up or upside down!" Tobey attempted to cover his boo boo, but Sid was no longer listening to him anyway. Gazing into Sandy's eyes, Sid almost purred. Tobey was so sickened - he got up and left, without them even noticing.
Tobey went out in the garden and sat in front of one of the benches alone. He leaned forward and rested his forehead on his knee, thinking. Something hit him so hard in the side of the head, he fell sideways. Panicking, he pulled and pulled on it until it let go and he threw it down. Once it hit the ground he recognized it! "Blob! You are back! I'm so happy to see you!" Tobey had picked it back up and snuggled it into his neck.
The blob made little paw shapes and hugged his cheek and neck. "What took you so long? Kong Li's been back out of the painting, like forever! Are you ok?"
The blob made a little head shaped bump and Tobey could swear it nodded at him. "Come on, let's go tell Sid and Sue that your back!"
While Tobey was excitedly telling Sid about the blob's return, Sandy listened. She was a little miffed that the blob had not taken control of Tobey yet, mostly because she was afraid Kong Li would blame her. Really, Sid was not very happy to see the blob again and said so. "Are you going to get rid of it this time? Come on Tobey, that thing really freaks me out!"
Sid took a step back when he thought he heard it growl at him. "Just keep it away from me, okay?"
Sandy caught the blobs attention and it seemed aware that she was frowning at it, unhappy that it had not yet done Kong Li's bidding. The blob shivered and slid down Tobey's back. Tobey giggled saying it tickled and took his blob up to his room with him to study.
"Wow, what an unusual pet your friend has."
"Yeah, Tobey can be pretty unusual sometimes. I don't know how that blob puts up with him."
Sandy laughed like Sid's insult aimed at Tobey was the funniest thing she had ever heard and they went out in the garden holding hands.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Sandy went with Sid on his deliveries even though she was supposed to be blob watching for Kong Li. She found she really kind of liked Sid even though Kong Li called him the 'enemy'. But she had a job to do. They met Tobey on the street and after they stopped next to each other sandy stepped down from the back of Sid's bike and Tobey got off to stretch.
Sandy stepped over to Tobey and gave him a tight hug! Sid's mouth fell open and he gave Tobey a look that could have killed. "What?" Tobey was shocked, and pushed her back. Instead of blaming Sandy, since she was obviously the one who did the hugging, Sid yelled at Tobey. "How dare you! You keep your paws off my girlfriend or our next training session, is going to get very rough, for you."
"But Sid! I . . ." too late, Sandy had climbed back on with Sid and he was leaving. Sandy enjoyed the bad feelings she caused between the boys, but really she was only patting Tobey down looking to see if the blob had done its job yet.
Tobey hadn't realized it yet, but the blob had attached itself to Sandy's ankle and had left with them. It didn't take him long to notice the blob was gone. "Just great, now both of my best friends are gone. This is a terrible day."
