CHAPTER 12: Doodle plans, and a court plead gone wrong
After a long nights flight, the cogs finally arrive at Lawbot HQ. "Sir Jimmy Kudo, We have brought some toons sneaking about in our turf!" Said the Big Wig. "Excellent Capture… Put them in the cage, and I'll question them later." Said Jimmy as the other cogs obeyed. Meanwhile, it was daybreak, around 6:00 in the morning, at Minnie's Melody Land, and Woodrow was just waking up from sleeping. He franticly looked around, and began to remember what had happened. He felt bad about abandoning his owner like that, but he got an idea! He ran towards the toon's houses, in the new street. Flippy had decided a while back, that houses should be with other toon's houses, so that's where the community neighbor hood streets started. Woodrow could smell a rather familiar person, a cop. He ran towards a house that said 'Captain Spiffy Flipper Glop's house', and he scratched at his door. Captain Spiffy opened the door, and saw Woodrow. " …Where did you come from?" Captain Spiffy asked curiously. Woodrow ran into his house, kind of making Captain Spiffy mad, but he noticed the doodle pointing his nose on a map on Captain Spiffy's wall. Captain Spiffy got closer and saw, his nose was on the spot where Lawbot HQ is, Woodrow ran over to a cog chart and scratched his paw on the Lawbot sign, and some of the cogs. It was kind of hard to follow, but Woodrow ran out the door, and pointed with his paw towards The brrrgh direction. Captain Spiffy's doodle, Vamp came over, and was barking with Woodrow. Being the smart doodle it is, he was able to write what Woodrow had said. "Good boy, Vamp! I'm going to go help them," Said Captain Spiffy as he left the house, Woodrow began to make a run for where he lives. DOODLES POINT OF VIEW "GUYS! OUR OWNERS HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY COGS!" Called out Woodrow as he ran towards the other doodles. "What?" Said all the other doodles in disbelief. "Its true! I saw another doodle, she didn't have a home, or a family. I decided to go and see if she was okay, but she ran under that one sign, so I followed. I asked her if she was okay, but she yelled at me, and told me to leave her alone. Then my owner picked me up, and Ness was being mean to her." Said Woodrow, but Ness' doodle King interrupted. "Yeah, the other night, he called me, when I finally got to him, he was leaning on a tree holding his head. He told me to find help, but when I came back, he was gone! The only trace left was oil." Said King. "I haven't even seen my owner Nessa, I loved it when she came home to pet me…" Purred Queen, who was upset by the disappearance of Nessa. "But, after Ness put her down, a Yellow Duck is going to keep her." Said Woodrow happily. "Is that all you had to say?" Asked Jacuzzi becoming inpatient. "No, a bunch of Lawbots came down and got our owners." Sad Woodrow putting his head down in sadness as the others gasped. "I got one of the top fighters to help them though!" Said Woodrow as the others sort of brightened up. "I think their gonna need all the help they can get." Said Rambler hitting his two front paws together. "Yeah! How about, we help them!" Suggested Queen. The other doodles agreed, and headed down towards Lawbot HQ. IN COURT AT LAWBOT HQ "Okay Cinders, remember the plead we gave you." Whispered Princess to Cinders. "Uh, sure, I'll try." Said Cinders nervously walking up the aisle to the judge's desk. "Cinders Seedie, how do you plead for your release?" Asked the large cog known as Jimmy. "Well, you see… Ned's doodle escaped under the fence, and Ned chased him, causing us to… A E I O U…." Cinders said going blank. The toons eyes were LARGE as the cogs jaws dropped to the floor… all was silent. "Umm, excuse me… Well, you see… Ned's doodle escaped under the fence, and Ned chased him, causing us to follow Ned. So, can you forgive us, as we forgive you, for RUDELY COMING DOWN, AND GRABBING US, AND BRINNING US HERE?" Screamed Cinders as the toons eyes were large, and their mouth dropped. While some of the cog's heads exploded. Cinders slowly walked back to her seat and sat down. "CINDERS? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?" Whispered Moon. "I'm sorry! I got nervous, and I was trying to remember my vowels, and then… I just felt they shouldn't take toons!" Cinders whispered back. "Were not going to get out of here alive, are we?" Asked Princess in a whisper. "I don't really think so…" Said Chester. "I'm sorry, but your plead is DENIED. Cogs, take them to the cages." Said Jimmy. The cogs obeyed and put them in a cage. "You'll do nice at the cog zoo! You'll be shipped off for there in about two days." He said as he walked off.
