Episode Short #6: Toxic Petting Zoo

It was another slow day and Grauntie Mabel was dead on making it yet another Family bounding experience.

"We're not knitting again are we?" Stan asked as the car stopped in front of a farm with a large red Barn.

"Not that we wouldn't love to." Ford said giving his brother a stern look.

"Nope today were going to the petting zoo." Mabel told them as they got out. "Heather suggested it."

"Aren't we banned?" Ford asked remembering the Unicorn incident.

"No that's the Zoo." Mabel corrected him. "The Petting Zoo has its own grounds."

"I didn't know this town had a petting zoo." Fidds said.

"It does!" Heather said, she was very excited, and had been since they entered the car.

"So I guess it's safe to say you like the petting zoo." Ford joked as they got out of the car.

"Well there is a special animal here that I love to come and see." She admitted as they entered the area that was sectioned off as the petting. There are several animals all around them, from turtles, to pigs, and sheep, even horses."

Stan gasped as they passed each one. "I'm gonna pet you," he said. "And I'm gonna pet you, and wow! You better believe I'm gonna pet you!" he exclaimed petting each animal they came across.

Finally they reached pin with a cow named "Octavia" with 8 legs.

Stan was couldn't believe his eyes. "This is the coolest thing I ever seen!" He declared.

"Cooler then the rat swimming in that bucket?" Ford joked.

"Totally!" Stan said. "More limbs means more hugs!" he shouts as everyone runs to the cow.

"Wow! I didn't think nature would allow this!" Ford said grimacing at the creature.

"This is Octavia." Heather said. "I come to see her every year."

Mabel looked to Sprott, the owner of the farm. "How did this happen?" She asked.

"Yeah what do you feed this cow?" Fidds asked. "Toxic waste!"

Sprott laughed. "Close." He admitted. "You see Octavia here is just another blessing' from the toxic flood running off the Mud Flat factory." He pointed to the stream of toxic waste and everyone looks just in time to see a goat drinking from the toxic river, is grows another head, and begins to choke like its dying.

Heather laughs as Octavia licks her. "I could pet this cow forever!"

"Me too!" Stan said as the cow switches over to lick him next.

"Well, you better get your pettin' done now." Sprott said. "Because I'm gonna eat 'er come cow eatin' season."

Everyone except Sprott gasps.

"What?!" Heather cried.

"You monster!" Stan declared.

"Why would you eat a toxic cow anyway?" Fids asked.

"To gain its mutant powers." Sprott answered simply.

"That's just crazy." Ford said.

"You can't eat her!" Heather cried hugging Octavia. "She's loved, her life matters."

"Oh but I can." Sprott said. "And she's gonna make some mean burgers."

"MONSTER!" Heather lunged for him, luckily the boys managed to hold her back and they forced her to walk away.

"Ms. Pines We can't let Octavia be eaten!" Heather cried.

"Yeah Octavia deserves to be free!" Stan agreed.

"Yeah isn't his violating animal rights are something?" Ford asked.

"Or at least self-endangerment?" Fidds added. "I mean the cow is toxic!"

Mabel sighed. "I'd love to help, but Octavia is his cow." She reasoned.

But we love her!" Heather cried running back over to Octavia and hugging her nose.

Mabel looks at her and Stan petting Octavia, then looks at Sprott faraway imagining Octavia as a hamburger; Octavia licks Mabel as she walks up to her and she sighs. "Warm up the truck."

Everyone cheers quietly and runs back to the truck. Moments latter Fidds runs up to a nearby pay phone. His task was to distract Sprott while they braked Octavia out.

Meanwhile the rest of the gang watched as Sprott hung up a "CLOSED," sign as a dad with two children exiting the Petting Zoo. Once he sees everyone has left Sprott enters his home just as the phone rings. "Howdy!" he said as he answered the phone.

Hey! I'm calling from "Pictures of Tractors Monthly"! Please hold for an important message." Fidds said before playing a tune on a little organ and sings. "Da-ra-ta-ra-to! Ta-ra-ta-pa-da-ba-bo! This is definitely a real message -ta-ra-pa-po!"

Meanwhile Ford, Stan, Heather, and Mabel are loading Octavia on the back of the truck.

"Man she's heavy." Ford said.

"Quiet now." Mabel said. "She's a lady."

"Sorry." Ford said, feeling a little silly.

Finally they got her in the truck and zoom off, unfortunately the trucks exhaust sputters alerting Sprott to the theft.

"They're stealing' Octavia!" He cried. "Emmit! D'Shawn! Close the gate!"

Emmit, his son pulls a handle under the sign "GATE." Trying to cut them off.

"Faster Grauntie Mabel faster!" Stan shouted.

"I'm trying." Mabel said as she makes a sharp turn to the Sheep Pen, breaking some fences.

"Sheep! Dodge! Dodge!" Stan cried.

Mabel dodges a few sheep while driving as she heads for a makeshift ramp. "Brace yourselves!" She advised.

Everyone screams as the truck goes up on a ramp and jumps over some hay.

Emmit and D'Shawn wave their fists in anger as they make their narrow escape.

Sprott shook his head in defeat. "Serves me right for building' an escape route." He said knowingly.

Mabel sighs in relief as the car comes to a slow stop beside the payphone where Fidds is waiting.

"Wow it worked." He said obviously surprised it worked.

"So where do we take her?" Ford asked as Fidds got in the car.

"I've got an idea." Mabel said and continued to drive, minutes later they arrived at a large meadow.

"It's perfect." Heather said as they got out.

"Be free Octavia." Stan said as he led her out of the truck and into the field. "Here's a little something to remember us by."

Mabel sticks a "Mystery Shack" sticker to Octavia's body and hits her back.

Octavia moves forwards and the gang waves and says goodbye.

"Goodbye, Octavia!" Heather cried.

"Have beautiful babies!" Fidds shouted.

"Love you!" Stan cried.

"She was alright for a mutant." Ford said. "I hope she's happy."

Suddenly Octavia shoots green lasers from her eyes at a passing bird and burns it. The burned bird falls to the ground and Octavia catchers it in mid-air with her mutated long tongue, and aggressively eating the bird.

The group looks at her as if for the first time, horror fills their faces.

"Run!" Mabel screams.

Everybody starts to run, except Stan, who's taking a picture. "That is so cool!" he says in awe.

Ford runs back over to him and grabs him by the arm. "Come on you idiot." He shouts.

The twins enter the car and Mabel speeds off as fast as the law will let her.

No one dared to looks back…!
