It was 7AM, daycare was about to open in a few hours, and yet, Lifetime daycare wasn't full of life or happiness, it was full of despair and heartbreak. It had heartbroken toys, grieving over their lost friends, and they had a deluded CIA Apprentice toy keeping a close eye on them.
Gompers looks at Sherman's Glasses, whimpers sadly. Cindy pats his muzzle.
"I know you miss him, but he's never coming back, Gompers." Mabel said, sadly. She sees Cindy's shoe, revealing "TRENT" written underneath. Her eyes fill with regret. Why didn't she listen to Sherman when she had the chance?
"Yes, I know it's hard to get over the loss of one you loved so dearly." Cindy #2 said, sighing.
Gene was playing the harmonica, but then, Jimmy bangs on the cubbie.
"Knock it off, music burger!" Jimmy angrily said.
"Well, okay, then I guess just pout!" Gene then said.
"Yeah, man, have you seen any prison movies? Prisoners get to sing or play the harmonica." Gerald then said, angrily.
"Name one!" Jimmy angrily said, rolling his eyes.
The bathroom door bursts open as a Tonka truck races in the room, with Timmy in the back, his Gang hanging off the sides, whooping it up. The truck comes screeching to a stop as soon as it arrives in front of the cubbie bins.
"Rise and Shine, Campers!" Timmy then said.
"Commander Fairy God Child! I have nothing to report! It's been quiet, and no sign of this vigilante you mentioned last night." Jimmy said, saluting.
"Wait! What have you done to my husband?!" Dani cried, reaching out.
"You mean your idiot husband?" Timmy said, tossing a dazed Gumball Watterson onto the floor. Gumball was coughing, groaning and covered in sand.
"Sweetie!" Dani exclaimed in horror.
"It was cold, and dark! Nothin' but sand and a couple of Trump Putty piles and Lincoln Logs." Gumball said, taking out his ear to get some of the sand out of his body.
"I'm not sure if that was Trump Putty." Wolfgang then said.
"I don't think those were Lincoln Logs." Gene then said.
"Then what were they?" Gumball said, disgusted.
"Something that shouldn't be said right now." Mabel intervened.
"Poop!" Ed then said, disgusting everyone.
"Thanks a lot, Ed." Eddy then said, rolling his eyes in a disgusted manner.
"You better get ready! You got a playdate with destiny!" Timmy then said, happily. He laughs in insanity, he's ready to make his enemies live in a living hedes.
The bell rings as a new day starts for the kids at Smileshine. Vicki ran into the daycare, and entered the room, along with a few more students, and in Vicki's bookbag, it unzipped, and in it were Penny, Sherman, Ford and Edmund.
"Okay, now we need to get into that room without being detected." Sherman then said.
"All right, go reunite with your friends, I'm going to talk some sense into Stanley." Ford then said, heading towards the restroom. Sherman, Penny and Edmund proceeded.
The 3 then surreptitiously scrambles to the top of a bookshelf.
Sherman pushes aside an acoustic panel, and they all climb in the crawl space above the tiles, and slide the panel back in place. Sherman hears the squeals of children, he then turns.
Crawling, Sherman follows the noise, puts his ear to a tile.
Sherman pulls up the ceiling tile and drops onto an empty reading loft, furnished with pillows and bean bag chairs, Edmund, Sherman and Penny fallow. They creep to the edge of the loft and scans the room.
Below, a Toddler uses Toothless to hammer a bongo drum. Another Toddler holds Gumball in each hand, then smashes them to the ground. Their pieces scatter. A child swings Cindy by her hair, releases her. Cindy slams into a wall, drops to the floor. Sherman cringes in pain, his friends are being tortured by those kids who don't know what they're doing!
"Excuse me." Dexter's voice was heard, and the 2 turned around and saw Dexter.
"Oh." Sherman said, startled.
"I know how to escape, but there's just one problem, more guards, more security, basically like Arkham Asylum." Dexter said, glad that he made it back on time for Sherman's return. "I can help you take out security, but first, there's someone who knows how to get out of here." Dexter then said, pointing to another toy.

A toy steps out of the shadows. He has a dimly tanned ashy complexion and grey-blue spiky hair on his head and a unibrow. He wears a white lab coat with a light blue green shirt underneath. He also wears brown pants, a dark brown belt with a yellow buckle, and black shoes. His name is Rick Sanchez.
"You shouldn't have come back, Cowboy. They cracked down hard since you left. More guards. More patrols. You and your friends ain't ever gettin' outta here now." Rick then said, concerned.
"We made it out once... " Ford then said, skeptically raising an eyebrow.
"You got lucky once. W-W-W-Want my advice? Keep your heads down. You'll survive." Rick then said as he stutters.
"Yeah? For how long?" Penny then said, worried.
"I been here years. Timmy has been pushing me around a lot, but *burp* joke's on him. They'll never break me. There's only one w...w...w...way Toys leave this place..." Rick then said.
Rick skips forward as he sighs in grief. Penny walks towards rick as through the window, she sees the Janitor across the yard dumping a broken Toy Train into a trash chute. Penny shudders. She's just witnessed a Toy death.
"It sucks to be that guy. And you know why? Because the trash truck comes at dawn. Then it's off to The Dump. That's where bird boy lies to rest." Rick said.
"I appreciate your concern, Old Timer. But we got a kid waiting for us and we got to leave ASAP. Now if you help us and Ford out, from one toy to two more and such...we will be forever grateful." Penny then said, worriedly.
Rick sighs, it won't be easy to beat and escape Timmy Turner's prison, but they have to get back to Trent.
"What if I told you, my kid knows a friend that has the Mulan Szechuan Teriyaki Dipping Sauce from 1998?" Sherman said, convincingly.
"EW!" Penny then yelped.
As soon as he heard those words, Rick smiled and laughed. He's been looking for that sauce for many years now. Now he has a chance to get it!
"Well, if you're gonna get out... First thing you go*burp*tta do is get through the doors. Locked every night, inside and out." Rick then said.
"OK, what else?" Sherman asked, taking notes.
"Turner has trucks patrolling the halls all night long. Hallway. Lobby. Playground. As for the walls, eight feet high. Cinderblock. No way through it. You go over or under." Rick then said.
"Okay, that sounds easier than expected!" Penny said, cheerfully.
"Well, there's one problem: Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Muscle Man, High-Fives, Benson, Pops, and Thomas. Rigby sees everything, classrooms, hallways, even the playground. You can unlock doors, sneak past guards, climb the wall... But if you don't take out Mordecai, Rigby, Skips, Muscle Man, High-Fives, Benson, Pops, and Thomas, you're not goin' nowhere. Y'wanna get outta here? Fire those jerks!" Rick then said.
"Alright." Sherman said, in determination.
"And I'll help you distract one of the guards. One of them has got my eye on me." Dexter then said.
The school bell rung, which meant it was time for Recess, the teacher opens the playground door. The Toddlers drop the Toys as they rush outside. The Teacher hits the lights and closes the door. Cindy and the others sit up, groaning in pain. These days are getting harder every time they get played with by kids who don't know any better.
"I can't believe this is how my life will end!" Mabel then said, crying. "Broken up, heart broken..."
"Mabel, calm down." Libby then said.
"CALM DOWN?!" Helga shouted. "How could anyone be calm at a time like this?! Our friends are gone, and it's all Cindy's fault!"
Everyone glared at Cindy in fury. Cindy has done dumb things in the past, but this is just stupid. Even for her.
"I thought it was a good idea!" Cindy gulped nervously.
"Well," Cindy #2 said, angrily. "It must've been a suicide mission! This is just dumb. Why did you rope your friends into this?!"
"Because we were on the curb, it was the heat of the moment, we were tossed out, what was I supposed to do?!" Cindy sighed in sadness.
"Psst! Guys! Over here!" Sherman whispered, as soon as they heard that voice, they knew who it belonged to.
"Sherman?" Cindy said, confused, but no one cared, because they were excited to see their friends, alive and okay, they ran over to Sherman and gather the toys, rejoicing.
"Sherman!" Helga exclaims in glee.
"Thank goodness you're alive!" SpongeBob then said, then Gompers handed Sherman's glasses.
"Of course I'm alive!" Sherman said, chuckling, then he puts on his glasses. Then he notices Mabel crossing her arms, not knowing what to feel, happy that her ex- boyfriend's okay, or angry that she got her feelings hurt and feeling as if Sherman's ready to rub it in her face.
"Shouldn't you be with Trent?" Mabel said, skeptically, still hurt about yesterday and what Sherman said.
"Point taken." Sherman said. "Look, I know I was a jerk, but listen, our friends are in trouble. Things aren't what they seem here! The daycare's like Arkham!"
Mabel just ignored Sherman, still feeling stupid that about what has happened yesterday.
"Mabel, I know your feelings are really hurt, but..." Sherman said, before realizing all but one were here in this place.
"Wait, where's Jimmy?" Penny asks, also concerned as Sherman.
"Timmy did something to him!" Toothless then said.
"What do you mean?" Sherman then said, raising an eyebrow.
"He thinks he's a real CIA Apprentice, again!" Carl Lewis said.
"Oh, no..." Sherman said, disappointed that his friend is back to being the deluded CIA Apprentice that almost got him and Jimmy destroyed by Duncan or worse, the behavior that almost made them lost toys.
"Oh, yes... Return of the Heroic Nutcase!" Gene said, agreeing with Sherman.
"Oh, we were wrong to leave Trent, Sherman, I was wrong." Cindy then said, guiltily.
"Cindy's right, Sherman, she was wrong." Gumball said, not wanting to admit that he was wrong.
Cindy then punched Gumball in the arm as they were all wrong and didn't want to take the
"No, it's our fault for leaving you guys." Penny then said.
"We stick together from now on." Sherman then said, confidently.
"Wait, isn't Trent leaving for College tomorrow?" Libby asked, confused.
"COLLEGE?! HOG TIE THE MAILMAN!" Helga exclaimed in shock as she shoves the 2 Cindys out of her way, "We gotta get you home before Trent leaves tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? But that only mean..." Gene then said, concerned.
"It means we're busting outta here. Tonight." Sherman then said. This makes the other toys gasp a bit. Busting out? But that's impossible!
"What? Impossible!" Dani then said.
"Yeah, how are we gonna find a way out?" Gerald then said, confused.
"I know one way out. One way." Sherman said, determined. The toy motions to a familiar trash chute outside on the mainenance shed near the wall. The toys huddled in as they listened in, Operation: Get Home has just begun. But first, they need to get Jimmy back on their side. And it won't be easy.
