Joe was late to T.U.F.F. but luck was on his side. Since Quacky the Duck was on, no one would've noticed him coming in. When Joe saw what his friends do when they watch the show (as seen in previous episodes) well...
Joe: (to himself) "And they call me crazy." He grabs a video camera and records the action. "I am so saving this for later." Later that day...
Chief: "Agent Nutcase, report to my office!" Joe: "Am I in trouble?" Chief: "No. I need you to help Keswick test one of his experiments."
Joe: "Does it involve blowing things up?" Chief: "No."
Joe: "Aw...man!" The Chief showed where Keswick's lab was, where Keswick was waiting. Joe: "Eh...sorry I'm late. Let's just say I had QUITE the nightmare last night." Keswick: "It's quite alright, Agent nuh-nuh-nuh-Nutcase." Joe: "So what'd ya need me for?" Keswick: "I need you to stay still while I tuh-tuh-tuh-test my de-age-ifying ray."
Joe: "Wait, why me?"
Keswick: "So that I won't have to get my puh-puh-puh-parents' skin lotion anymore." *shudders* "Also the Chief said something about you being late." Joe: "Darn." Then Keswick fired the ray and not surprisingly it actually worked. "A genius, you is." He was happy to see that it had worked but he was horrified when he saw his reflection. "Uh, Keswick. You might wanna run." Keswick: "Don't worry. You're not going to explode." Joe: "Well...everyone else might! The last time I was this age...my parents...went bye bye." Even though he didn't cry, his eyes were still watering. To make things worse the ray gun fell apart. "What was that?"
Keswick: "Oh buh-buh-buh-butter biscuits." Joe was clearly not happy about this. Just then Dudley showed up. Dudley: "What's the problem?" *sees Joe* "Aw. Hey there little dude."
Joe: "Dudwey, it's me, Joey." Dudley: (into hallway) "Hey Kitty! Come check this out!" Kitty: "What is it now?" *sees Joe* "Aw...he's so adorable! Who's kid is this?"
Keswick: "Sorry to duh-duh-duh-disappoint you two but it's actually just Agent Nutcase. Dudley: "What are you talking about? This kid's harmless."
Joe: *pulls out weapon* "Does you want bet?" *arms gun* They realize that it clearly the little kid is Joe. Kitty: "Take it easy little dude. We'll come up with something." Chief: (over intercom) "Agent Katswell report to my office pronto!" Kitty: "Dudley, you stay here and find something for him to do. I'll be right back." While Kitty was gone, Joe thought of something. Dudley: "So. What do we do now?" Joe: "How about hide and seek?"
Dudley: "You're on!" One hour later...
Dudley: "Ninety nine...One hundred! Ready or not, here I come!" Then Kitty showed up. Kitty: "What's going on? And where's Joe?"
Dudley: "I was about to start looking for him."
Kitty: "You lost him already?" Dudley: "No! We're just playing hide and seek." Dudley started looking in random places. "So what did the Chief want?" But before she could answer she saw some bedsheets.
Kitty: "Dudley, how come there are bedsheets hanging out the window?" Dudley: "What bedsheets?" *looks* "Oh no!" They both see an open window with a bunch of bedsheets tied together as a makeshift rope. They look out the window, only to see Joe got himself stuck halfway down.
Joe: "I'm thinking this was bad idea." He sees the bedsheets untie themselves. "Uh oh." He looks back down again and realizes he is too high up to survive the fall. "Can Joey be saved now?" Kitty is seen lowering herself down with the grappling hook. But the bedsheets untie too quickly and it seems like all is lost. Joe: (as he is falling) "What Joey wouldn't give for rocket pack." Then Joe comes up with an idea and grabs a flamethrower. He points it downward, puts it on full blast and uses it as a makeshift rocket. Meanwhile, Kitty is sadly raising herself up, knowing that she failed until she hears something. She looks around to see Joe fly right up to her level. Joe: "What you doing here? Doesn't Kitty know that hanging on tall building is dangerous?" *tsk tsk tsk* "You need to give better example." Then the flamethrower stops. "Uh oh." He starts fall but Kitty grabs him before anything else happens. "That was fun! Can we do it again?" He looks up only to see that Kitty is angry at him.
Later, Joe is sitting in the corner as punishment while Dudley and Kitty were in the break room discussing what to do next. Dudley: "You got any bright ideas?" Kitty: "I don't know, dude. This kid's giving me a rough time." Joe eavesdrops on them and then feels unwanted. He decides to leave T.U.F.F. so as to not bother them anymore. He ends up having to wander the streets since he can't drive back home. He sees Snaptrap stealing candy from a baby's stroller and decides to do something. Joe: "Hold it wight there evil peoples! You is under awwest in name of T.U.F.F." Snaptrap: "Aren't you a little young to be there?" Then Ollie pulls him aside. Ollie: (whispering) "Boss, I'm starting to think that's no ordinary kid." Snaptrap: (whispering) "So. He's still just a kid!"
Ollie: "If that kid is who I think it is, we could easily get secret information about T.U.F.F."
Snaptrap: "Ooh. I like the sound of that." *goes back to Joe* "Okay, kid you caught us, But first... Tell us about T.U.F.F.'s top secret information!"
Joe: "Give one reason Joey do that." Snaptrap: "How about a nice lollipop?" Joe: "What fwavor?" Ollie: "I think it's grape flavored."
Joe: "What does you want to know?" Meanwhile at T.U.F.F., Kitty and Dudley were getting concerned since they couldn't find Joe. Then, while they were searching, Snaptrap blew up a section of T.U.F.F. with the T.U.F.F. jet. Kitty: "Snaptrap! But how'd you...?"
Snaptrap: "Oh this? Your little friend told me all I needed to know." Then Joe's head poked out of the jet. Joe: "Hey guys."
Kitty: "Joey! What are you doing in there?"
Joe: "Don't worry about me. I just gots me a free lollipop." Kitty stares angrily. *lick* "Can evil peoples drop me off here? I gots to go to bathroom." Snaptrap pushes the ejector seat which luckily for Joe has a parachute. "Thanks evil peoples!" Snaptrap flew off with his gang. Joe runs off to the bathroom and withins seconds he's out and still licking his lollipop. He stops mid-lick and sees that everyone is angry at him.
Joe: "What? It's grape flavored!" He sees that everyone is still mad... "Fine. Joey go play someplace else until smart guy fixes age thingy! And I'm telling on you!" *slams nearest door* Kitty: "I wouldn't worry, I mean who's he gonna tell?"
Joe: *reopens door* "...and by way, if Cousin Suzie finds out, you guys get sued until Dark Ages!" *reslams door and laughs maniacally*
Dudley: "We gotta do something quick!" Kitty: "Wait a minute. Why didn't he just take the elevator?"
Meanwhile about 8 stories below...
Joe: *panting* "Stupid Joey! Why not Joey take elevator?" He sees the buttons for the elevator are a little too high. Joe tries jumping but he still can't reach it. "Stupid buttons." He waits for an elevator but when one arrives Kitty and Dudley are there. For a second they're both intimidating but then seemingly out of nowhere Dudley starts begging. Dudley: *grabs Joe by the feet* "Please, don't tell! I still wanna keep my job here!" *sobbing* "We beg of you!"
Joe: *sigh* "Okay...Joey will not tell..." Dudley and Kitty are both relieved... "...under one condition!" They listen carefully. "You guys get Joey ice cream." Kitty: "Uh...Okay!"
Joe: "YAY!"
Kitty: "But first we have to deal with Snaptrap!" Joe: "Awww..." Dudley: "But he has the T.U.F.F.-mobile! And we don't even know where he is!" Joe: "Joey does!" Kitty: "Really? Where is he?" Joe goes to his tank and reveals a container filled with gas. Joe: "Joey siphoned gas from fwying mobile when you isn't looking." Kitty: "Why on earth would you do that?" Joe: "Uh...I expwain later. Now let's go get those bad peoples." He tries to get in the tank but he's still too short. "Stupid boom boom machine." Dudley: "Need some help?"
Joe: "Uh huh." Dudley picks up Joe and help him onto the large vehicle. "Thanks." He opens the hatch and falls in. "Owie!" Kitty: "You okay?"
Joe: "Joey is fine...Joey has buwwetpwoof skull. It handy sometimes." He and the others get in but... "Darn it. Joey can't reach contwols. Pwus I just wealized I'm too young to dwive...and I think I gots to go to bathwoom." *runs off* Then Keswick shows up on Kitty's wrist com. Keswick: "Agents Katswell and Puppy, I have good news and buh-buh-buh-bad news. The good news is that I managed to concoct a formula that should have Agent Nutcase back to normal." Kitty: "What's the bad news?"
Keswick: "It tatse like fish." Kitty: "Seriously, what's the bad news?" Keswick: "Not everyone like fish, Agent Katswell." Joe returns from the restroom and is knocking on the tank. Joe: "Hewwo? Can someone help Joey here?" Kitty aand Dudley pop up. Kitty: "Guess what? Keswick's got a formula that should change you back to normal."
Joe: "Aww...I was starting to LIKE being 7 again. Plus you two owe Joey ice cream!"
Kitty: "We'll get you your ice cream later."
Joe: "Yay!" Joe races them to elevator. Kitty: (whispering) "Should I tell him? Or should you?"
Dudley: (whispering) "He's gonna hate you for this."
Joe: "Come guys! Someone needs to press buttons!"
They all get in and Dudley presses the button to the correct floor. On the way Joe starts asking if they were there yet. Joe: "Are we there yet?" Kitty: "Not yet." Joe: "How 'bout now?"
Dudley: "Still not there." 117 "Nows" later...
Joe: "...Now? Now? Now? Now?" KItty grabs him by the shirt out of rage.
Kitty: "For the last time WE ARE NOT THERE YET!" *ding* Dudley: "Kitty, we're here." Joe: "Can I be on ground now?" Kitty puts Joe down and Joe runs to the lab. He finds the formula and proceeds. When he does however...
Joe: *face turns green and spits* (coarsely) "Keswick..." *hacks* "...this tastes like fish!"
Keswick: "Well. Sorry if my concoctions don't all taste like chu-chu-chu-chocolate!" Joe: (coarse voice) "It's not that!" *hacks* "I'm extremely allergic to fish!" He swells up the same way Snaptrap does when he eats cheese. "Which one of you forgot to tell me this had fish in it?" Everyone points at Kitty and Dudley as they whistle like nothing happened. Joe stared them down. Dudley: (nervously) "Look on the bright side."
Kitty: (nervously) "Yeah...at least you're back to your normal age."
Joe: (coarsely) "You guys are so lucky my cousin doesn't know about this yet."
Kitty: "We should get you to a hospital."
Joe: (coarsely) "No need. I've got some pills at my place."
Dudley: "Where is your place?" Joe: *hacks, coughs, and voice gets better* "It's only a few miles away. But let me tell you something, it is a very dangerous street."
Kitty: "What's so dangerous about it?"
Joe: "Every household has at least one tank plus some other weapons collection. For example, my nextdoor neighbor has about 12 tons of TNT and my other neighbor has about 1300 gallons of napalm."
Kitty: "Is any of this legal?" Joe: "Only in MY neighbor hood. I think they're having a tag sale today. Ms. Nukem had a sweet deal on ammunition this morning. I hope I can get to it before tomorrow."
They all stare at him.
Joe: "Relax, most of the dangerous stuff is kept in backyard bomb shelters." Everyone stares at him some more... "Good luck getting my meds. I'd come with you but seeing as I can't move... oh well." They come back and hour later, like they were being chased at. Dudley: *panting* "Boy, that Ms. Nukem can run for an old lady." Kitty: *panting* "I'd never seen someone with so many weapons." They both fall flat onto the ground as Kitty throws the pills to Joe. "Here...catch." Joe: "Thank you." *swallows pill and shrinks down to normal* "That's better. Just ONE more thing to do." Dudley: *still panting* "Please don't make us go back."
Joe: "No. How about the three of us go get some ice cream afterwards?"
Kitty: "What about Snaptrap?"
Joe: "I think I can deal with him."
Meanwhile, Snaptrap and his gang are trying to push the T.U.F.F.-mobile towards a gas station. And by that I mean...
Snaptrap: "Come on Larry! The gas station isn't that far!" Then , just as Larry passed out, Joe showed up on the scene. They instinctively pointed blasters but they hesitated. Joe: "Do you you really wanna make me use this?" They put their hands up and are soon taken by the police. The Chief managed to show up.
Chief: "Good work, Agent Nutcase! I expect a full report on today's work!" But Joe obviously didn't want to write that long of a report.
Joe: "Does that include this embarrassing footage of you guys acting wieird to Quacky the Duck?" *says while showing footage*
Chief: "UH...reports are...overrated anyways." He leaves, not wanting to risk extreme embarrassment, just as Kitty and Dudley showed up. Kitty: "I gotta say, you did good, especially for a rookie." Joe: "Well, it does help to have a 15 and a half ton tank. Now let's go get that ice cream you guys still owe me." The end shows Kitty and Dudley doing standard poses while Joe holds his machine gun to the right.
The End.
