This is the most obscure chapter with all of the cartoons in this so I'll just let you all assume which toon they're from. If not, I'll leave a guide at the end of the chapter.
I do not own the cartoons of Cartoon City they belong to their original owners.
Chapter twenty-three: Random Condos
Milk Bar Condos, a place in the Downtown part of the Nicktoons District that makes people glad to be in Downtown. A red apartment complex with the sign in front with the name of it. We go inside the building super's apartment bedroom where the owner of the building was sleeping. A bookshelf with numerous manga and DVDs was in the corner. Across from it was a black and gray desk with a few papers on it, and a stuffed cow, lion and unicorn plushie on it. In the middle of the room was a huge bed made of metal that was bent, with an oak nightstand dress near it and an alarm clock on top. Across from it was a huge dresser with a few figurines of anime characters; Goku, Ichigo and Sailor Moon.
Sleeping in the bed was a white anthropomorphic cow with small horns and a pink nose and mouth. Her spots were a dark brown, wearing a purple pajama top and bottom with yellow stars on it, her udders hanging out the front. The alarm clock goes off at 7:30 A.M. as the cow groans and slams on the alarm clock breaking it in half.
"Crap…That's another fourteen dollars down the drain." The cow groans sitting up and looking at the damaged clock. "Maybe Thom can fix it." She picks her phone off the nightstand and goes to the memo app. "Okay, today I'm finding a job for the new hires, filling out milk orders and…ugh, collecting rent." Her stomach gurgles causing her to put her hoof hand on it. "First a trip to the bathroom." She walks out and goes over to the bathroom door to hear singing. "Crap. Bossy you in there?"
We go inside the bathroom to see a woman by the age of twenty-one taking a shower as she sings. She had bright red curly hair, her eyes a light green as the water slides all over naked body.
"Sorry Lulu, you know the saying first come, first serve." The woman grins as washes her hair out.
Lulu groans outside the "Awww man." She groans and sits down. "Well please just don't use up all the hot water like last time."
"Don't worry I won't." Bossy assured. As she cleans herself, we go a few apartments right of them as we go inside the living room of apartment #105. The living room had a brown lounge chair and a green sofa, with a television on a shelf. In the center of the room was a man around the age of twenty-four, standing straight up. He had dirty blonde hair covered by a black and red that hung in in the back at his neck, wearing a green T-shirt and blue jeans with black sneakers.
"Okay, time for my morning stretches." He glows bright shifting into a gray hippo with the same hairstyle. He then transforms into a yellow mouse, and then into a lion. A woman around the age of twenty-two walks in looking at her N-phone. She had black hair done into two buns on the side of her head, wearing a yellow T-shirt with a green undershirt with long sleeves and blue jeans. As she looked at her phone, she didn't notice to the man shifting into an elephant. He sighs feeling tired from the rapid transformations and sits down accidentally sitting on the woman. He blushes feeling something under his backside as he stands up seeing the woman gasp. "Sorry Kat, I didn't see you there." He shifts into his human form, clothes and all.
"With a butt like yours in elephant form its hard to see from behind." Kat pants standing up. "I should also remember not to look at my phone during your morning stretches, Cameron."
"You're just lucky I wasn't a horse. Chances were if I got spooked, I might've bucked at ya." Cameron chuckles.
"That'd be a damper on my plans for Wednesday." She comments.
"What do you have planned?" He questioned.
"Well, Lulu asked me to design a kid's menu for the bar." She informed. "I asked some kids to come to the rec center so I can ask their opinion. How about you?"
"Well, Thom asked me to run on his treadmill as a cheetah so we can charge the building's battery." He answered as we go to an old door that had a hanging apartment number on it, to reveal it said, 'Janitor's Closet'. Inside was a big room with a mattress in the corner, next to a bathroom door, clothes spread across the floor. Against the wall was a fridge and a small television screen with a laptop hooked up to it. Laying on the mattress was a girl around the age of nineteen, playing on a Nintendo 2DS. She had slick black hair and light blue eyes, wearing an oversized black T-shirt with a Unicorn design on the front.
"Gwen come on!" A voice called to her as the bathroom door opens revealing a girl around her age. Her hair was tied into two skinny pigtails in the back, her eyes covered by black frame glasses with blue lenses. She was wearing a blue jean jumpsuit, yellow gloves and black boots. "We're going to be late for the first job we get here as housekeepers."
"We're janitors Bessie." Gwen glares at the game she was playing. "Ugh! How is it that Yokai are somehow more annoying in game form than they are in anime form?!"
"Come on, if that job doesn't work Lulu will give us another one." Bessie smiles. "Now get into your uniform. She'll be here any minute now."
"I'm not going to wear that dorky uniform." She rolls her eyes as a knock came to the door causing her to groan and stand up. "Distract her while I get dressed." She grabs her uniform off the floor and goes into the bathroom as Bessie goes over to the door and opens it to see Lulu. The cow was now wearing a purple T-shirt and blue jeans with button flaps on the front covering her udders.
"Hiya boss." Bessie smiled giving a salute.
"Bessie, we've been over this you can call me Lulu." She chuckled at the blonde's excitement and chipper attitude as she glanced around. "Where's Gwen?"
"Uuuuuuh…" She trailed off trying to think up a lie as we see Gwen in the bathroom putting on the jumpsuit pants first. "She's dealing with uh...explosive diarrhea!" The Asian girl facepalms at the lie and tries to get dressed faster.
"She's not dressed yet and asked you to cover for you, got it." The cow accurately guessed as Gwen comes out of the bathroom panting. She was wearing pants part of the jumpsuit while the top half was tied up, wearing a white muscle shirt. "I see her 'Explosive diarrhea' is over." She jokes as the girl glares at the blonde. "Now come on, I'll take you to your first job." She walks ahead as Bessie was about to walk out only for the black-haired roommate to pull on her jumpsuit's pants in a tight wedgie.
"Enjoy pulling that out." She smirks at the blonde walking out. After leading them down the hall, we see Scamp standing in the doorway talking to an anthropomorphic bull. The bull had black fur and curved horns, wearing a white T-shirt and brown cargo pants and gray boots.
"Thanks again for helping me out Ferdinand, I don't know how I got double booked in the first place." Scamp smiles at the bull.
"It's no problem, I love gardening." Ferdinand smiles at him and sees Lulu. "Could you give me a few minutes?"
"Oh, sure." The terrier smiles walking past the three as the bull licks his hoof hand and slicks his hair back.
"Hey Lulu, I've been expecting you." The bull smiles at him.
"Hey Ferdy, here's your two cleaners for the apartment and I'm here for the rent." Lulu smiles holding her hand out as he smiles pulling the check out, while Bessie and Gwen walked in. "Pleasure doing business I'll be back for the girls." They looked around and saw the apartment had a few Hispanic carpets the floor and cozies on the coffee table and couch.
"Hey Bull dude, this place looks cleaner than a public bathroom at a country club." Gwen points out.
"Oh, the living room isn't what you're going to clean." The bull informed going over to a door and opens it revealing a bedroom with dirty laundry and bunkbeds against the wall. "Six bulls, a goat, a few porcupines, and an old dog can make quite the mess."
"We're supposed to clean this?" The Asian teen questioned.
"Well this and the bathroom, if you managed to clean that I'll leave a huge tip…not like a-you know-I'll just go." He leaves the two as they look to the bedroom's bathroom door to see it cracked lightly.
"Okay, let's divide this into two teams." Bessie smiles.
"Right, you'll take the bathroom and bedroom, I'll look around for hidden messes." Gwen declared. "The hidden messes are the hardest part of the job and its my responsibility to take it."
"Thanks Gwen, I'll try my best to finish first so I can help you with it." She smiles.
"Start with the bathroom first, I can smell it from here." The black-haired girl turns her towards the bathroom. "Oh, and take this." She hands her a gas mask as the blonde puts it on and goes into the bathroom. She goes back into the living room and pulls out her phone and starts playing a game on it.
One hour later~
"Hey, I'm here to pick you up- "Lulu walks in and stops seeing Gwen playing a game. "Oh, you guys finished quite early. Wait, where's Bessie?" Bessie pants walking in covered with a few stains as she removes her gloves and puts them in a metal container with an airtight top.
"I just finished; Gwen finished earlier with finding hidden messes. Also, these gloves need to be burned after what I did in the bathroom." She hands the metal container to the cow who looks at it then to Gwen who smiles nervously.
"Hidden messes, eh?" The cow raises an eyebrow. "Bessie, Gwen will be getting a different job since she's too good for this job."
"Like how you can be too good for a job interview. That's awesome Gwen! You got a different job because you worked hard." Bessie smiles hugging the black-haired girl.
"Greeaat…" She trailed off with a forced smile.
Meanwhile~
We see Cameron as a cheetah running on an oversized, mechanical hamster wheel that was hooked up to a huge battery next to table with a laptop on it. Standing next to it was a short anthro cat wearing a small, brown bowler hat and orange fur. He was wearing a brown vest over a long, sleeve button up white shirt with a green tie, brown pants and Italian loafers.
"How much…longer…Thom?" Cameron pants as the cat looks at the computer showing the energy output of the wheel and the battery's intake.
"Just a few more minutes, the battery's almost there ol' chum." Thom assured.
"I've been on this thing for an hour straight…" The transformative man groans. "And couldn't this have been a treadmill? A hamster wheel seems excessive."
"And if you stopped running on a treadmill, you'd have slid off from the force generated from your running, with a hamster wheel it stops when you choose to." The cat explained as the laptop beeps. "There we go, you can relax now- "He stops as he sees the cheetah passed out on the wheel. "Never doubt my design."
Back with Lulu~
"Gwen, I'm willing to keep you because we're slightly understaffed. But I can't have you forcing Bessie to do the cleaning." Lulu comments leading Gwen into the kitchen. "Which is why you'll be working in the kitchen with a friend of mine." We see a lion at a stove mixing a few ingredients in a pot. He had a brown mane and yellow for and was wearing a white chef's hat, and a white chef's uniform and black shoes. "Gwen, meet Mr. Frank our head chef for the bar."
"Hey there." Mr. Frank waved.
"Sup." Gwen declared.
"I'll leave you two to it, I have to get the girls ready for the milk job." The cow walks out.
"So, what exactly can you cook since you probably can't cook meat around cows?" Gwen questioned walking over to the chef.
"Oh some of my recipes have some meat in them, just not beef. Like for spaghetti I substitute meatballs with chicken nuggets I make personally." Mr. Frank smiles. "Now what are your specialties that you can cook?"
"Hmmm, well I can cook dumplings out of tortilla shells." She offered as the lion goes over to a nearby cabinet and opens it.
"Hmm, we have these tortilla shells from Tuesday's Taco Night." The lion offered. "And a few veggies in the crisper." Gwen gathers the ingredients onto the table, which was tortilla shells, carrots, tomatoes, celery, and a bottle of hot sauce. She washes her hands in the kitchen sink and then started to dice the vegetables into cubes and lays the tortilla shell out. She sprays the hot sauce on the shell as the red sauce started to bubble on top of it as she drops the veggies onto the tortilla. She then molds it into a ball sealing it shut. "Shouldn't you put it in an oven?"
"No need, my family's hot sauce makes the tortilla's insides hot its as if it cooks itself." She smirks proudly. "Want to try it?"
"Oh no, spicy food doesn't agree with me." He shakes his head as the kitchen's back door opens as a yellow anthropomorphic cow runs in panting. She was wearing a red T-shirt and holding a blue purse. "Oh, hey Cow."
"Sorry I'm late, the commute was murder to the point I got out of the bus and ran." Cow runs over grabbing the dumpling out of Gwen's hands. "I didn't even have breakfast. You don't mind do ya? Thanks, I need some energy to give milk." She swallows the dumpling whole and runs out.
"Ha! Looks like I have my first regular." Gwen boasts proudly smiles.
"Uh…you do know cow's milk respond to what they eat right?" Mr. Frank questioned.
"So?" She shrugs. "It's not like she's going to produce milk that's red hot."
A few minutes later~
Thom puts on a welding mask looking into a bucket of red-hot liquid as he holds up a metal spoon and puts it in the liquid. He pulls it out showing the spoon was warped from the heat as he removes the mask.
"Yep, that's definitely not safe for consumption." Thom looks to Lulu and Gwen who were behind him.
"How?!" Gwen questioned. "Doesn't milk neutralize hot sauce?"
"Yes, but only if it's on the affected area. Since Cow ingested the hot sauce is affecting her chambered stomach and- "
"Wait, I thought cows had four stomachs?" She questioned.
"No, they have a stomach with four chambers inside. Common misconception." The feline informs him.
"Great, so we're one cow short." Lulu sighs as we see Cameron walk in drinking some water and sees the bovine smile at him. He slowly backs out of the room only for the cow to run after him and drag him back. "Come on Cameron, we need one cow to fill our quota for the day."
"You're asking me to turn into a female cow." He comments.
"You can do that you know, last week I saw you at Lynn's Table talking to a Doberman while you were an orange poodle." She remarked as he blushed.
"I was just getting a free dinner!" The shapeshifter comments. "And it's not like I do it all the time, plus it feels weird shifting into a different gender each time."
"Relax, if it helps the girls will be right next to you the entire time." She assured.
"That's the problem." He argued.
"Please, how about I give you one month's rent free for you and your roommates?" She offered as he turns his back to her. "How about I give you a raise, depending on how many milk cartons you fill?" He sighs and shifts into a white cow with a different hairstyle and black spots. "Thanks Cameron."
"Just know I do this of my own choice." He comments walking out of the room.
"As for you," Lulu turns to Gwen. "Let's get you a different job that doesn't cause me to lose a milker."
"I just want to say on record I did not know this would happen." Gwen claimed.
"I think it'd be a lot easier to find Gwen a job if we play to her strengths." Thom chimes in. "What do you excel at Gwendolyn?"
"Well, first its Gwen and I'm an accomplished DJ." She comments.
"That's certainly one idea. Look, I have to collect the rest of the rent and since I hardly have time, I'll bring you along." The bovine suggested walking off as Gwen sighs and follows her. A few moments later, we see them go up to a door and knocks on it. The door opens but they didn't see anyone at first as they look in.
"Down here." They look down and see an anthro red panda with a purple crystal on her forehead wearing an oversized black T-shirt with the words 'Choke Out' in Metallica letters. "I assume you're here for the rent." She hands them an envelope.
"Hey Nut." The cow smiles at her. "How's- "
"Sorry can't talk, particularly important god business." Nut slams the door.
"That was rude." Gwen remarked crossing her arms.
"We probably caught her in the middle of one of her shows." She defended the red panda's actions as they walk off. They go up to an apartment that with heavy metal music playing behind the door. The cow inhales and knocks on the door and then looks to the teen. "Okay, with this tenant, try not to anger her. Also do not question her gender, she hates that."
"Who-"
"Alright ya blokes, this better be important!" A strong gruff voice spoke from behind the door as it opens, revealing an anthropomorphic kangaroo with beige fur and a gray muscle shirt on. "Oh, its you, what do you want ya dunny destroyer?"
"Joey, it's the first of the month, so I'll be needing some rent-"
"I done told ya wide hipped bovine that I'll pay the rent when I want to!" Joey glares at her.
"Woah first off man-"
"Man!?" The kangaroo glares at Gwen getting in her face. "I am woman! Just because that show kept calling me Joey doesn't mean I was a man!"
"Wait, you're a woman? But-"
"Look at my pouch!" The angry marsupial pulls the front of her stomach showing off her pouch. "I am a female, now if ya don't mind, rack off!" She goes back into the apartment and slams the door.
"Rack off?" The Asian girl questioned.
"A kinder version of saying piss off." Lulu translated. "Joey, come on! We go through this every first of the month! I know you have the money to pay me- "Joey opens the door and glares at her. "So…could you please pay your rent?"
"I have another option." She turns the cow around and reaches into the back of her pants pulling out the cow's pink panties and snapping them over her head. "Now again I say, rack off!" She's about to step into her room only for Gwen to step in the way.
"Hold on, first that is messed up to do to someone who basically gives you a roof over your head and can evict your ass!" Gwen glares at her.
"Now you listen-"
"No you listen! Joey, either you pay the rent, or she gives you the boot or I do! And I'm not talking about evicting you either." She threatened cracking her knuckles.
"You're threatening someone bigger than you?" The kangaroo gets into her face.
"No, I'm threatening a punk ass poor man's Rocko knock-off with an anger issue and does not want to get on my bad side." She insulted the marsupial who blushes and growls as they stared each other down. A few minutes later, we see Gwen counting the money she got from Joey while her red thong was over her head in an atomic.
"Wow." Lulu comments as the girl hands her the money. "You know this went a whole lot better than it normally did."
"I was taught one thing in my cartoon, never back down from someone with an ego." She smirks.
"You know, if you want you can be the rent collector, there's other people who kind of act rather meaner than Joey." The bovine smiles.
"Tch, if they're meaner than her, than they're probably snowflakes." The Asian smiles. "I just have one condition before I agree. Could you get me out of this wedgie she really got deep in there?" She winces as the cow goes behind her and tries to pry the wedgie out.
Later that night~
"Hey Cameron, want to look at some of the designs I drew for the kid's menu?" Kat walks into the living room and sees Cameron as an anthropomorphic female horse in a red dress. "Uh…"
"It's a free dinner, nothing more." He runs out of the apartment.
