It all started when our overrated adventurer, Freddy, woke up in a magical cornfield. It was the tenth time it had happened. Feeling abnormally displeased, Freddy took a bite of beef jerky, thinking it wouldn't make him feel better (but as usual, it did). Before the keen eyes of a brilliant kid, he realized that his beloved mushroom was missing! Immediately he called his so-called friend, Cartoon Kid. Freddy had known Cartoon Kid for 550,000 years, the majority of which were action packed ones. Cartoon Kid was unique. He was plucky though sometimes a little... pestering. Freddy called him anyway, because this situation was urgent.
Cartoon Kid answered the phone to a very sad Freddy. Cartoon Kid calmly assured him that most 3-legged dogs sneeze before sleeping, yet long-haired sea monkeys usually surreptitiously panic *after* sleeping. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Freddy. Why was Cartoon Kid trying to distract Freddy? Because he had snuck out from Freddy's with the mushroom only five days prior. It was a enticing little mushroom... how could he resist?
It didn't take long before Freddy got back to the subject at hand: his mushroom. Cartoon Kid cringed. Relunctantly, Cartoon Kid invited him over, assuring him they'd find the mushroom. Freddy grabbed his watch and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Cartoon Kid realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the mushroom and he had to do it recklessly. He figured that if Freddy took the rice rocket, he had take at least eight minutes before Freddy would get there. But if he took the pogo stick? Then Cartoon Kid would be scarcely screwed.
Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, Cartoon Kid was interrupted by ten stupid Wild Dingos that were lured by his mushroom. Cartoon Kid grimaced; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling stunned, he deftly reached for his carrot and aggressively punched every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent-the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the magical cornfield, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the pogo stick. It was Freddy...
