Ralph entered his house as fast as he could and quickly got his computer on the site. Soon after that Lionel came for a visit. "Hi Ralph"

Ralph looked over to Lionel. "Good timing Lionel, I just got the page open."

Lionel pulled up a chair. "Now let's see here..." Ralph scrolled though the text." Grr, this too wordy and confusing! I'm just going to watch the news to see if there is an abridged version." Ralph got up from his chair and went into the living room and turned on the TV.

Lionel got up from his chair and then sat in Ralph's and continued to look at the article.

Ralph set the Television to the news channel and sat down on the couch.

The News was midsentence when Ralph turned it on, on the screen we saw a teal rabbet newscaster and a green duck newscaster. "-As you may have heard there has been a lot controversy on whether or not the information in the newest Toon News for the Amused is fact or not"

The other reporter chimed in. "And that's we've decided to go to clear the facts from fiction, Flippy take it away"

The camera cut to a sky blue dog. "Flippy Doggenbottom here, Standing behind me are the same scientists who have claimed that the world will end. First off I'm going to talk to the famous toon inventor Gyro Gearloose!"

A white chicken walked on screen.

Ralph's jaw dropped to the floor at the sight of Gyro, and as fast as he could he paused the TV. "LIONEL GOT OVER HERE, GYRO GEARLOOSE IS ON THE NEWS!"

Lionel sprung out of his chair and ran as fast as he could to the living room. "Let me see this!" Lionel sat down on the couch next to Ralph, he then unpaused the TV.

"So tell us Gyro, how IS the world going to end?" Asked Flippy.

The chicken looked at Flippy. "There are many theories but no confirmed answer, They most common theory is that we'll simply cease to exist." Said Gyro.

"I see... so tell us, will it be quick and painless or the other way around?" Asked the mayor.

Gyro looked away. "We don't know, something like this has never happened before so we have no way to be sure."

"So what are the toons of ToonTown going to do now that the end of the world is coming soon?"

Gyro struck a dramatic pose to the camera. "Just because the world is coming to an end in almost a mouth that doesn't mean we should lose hope, The cogs won't rest until they've won and we can't let that happen. Don't let the short amount of time left stop you from living live to its fullest, after all it's going to end soon so why not make the most of it."

Ralph turned off the TV. "Well shoot, I had things I wanted to do with my life..."

Lionel Pointed at Ralph. "I TOLD you it was going to end but you didn't believe me!"

"Well there is only one thing to do now..."

Lionel looked over to his friend. "What's that?"

Ralph got up and ran towards the door and looked back at his friend. "Oh you'll see, it's going to be EPIC" Ralph exited the house.

"Hey wait up!" Lionel ran after the dog but when he got outside he didn't see him, Lionel looked around then called out "Ralph where are you?" He heard Ralph reply from out of nowhere.

"I'm up here, on the roof!" Barked Ralph

Lionel looked up on the roof and saw Ralph waving while holding an umbrella.

Ralph jumped, using the umbrella and lowered gravity he did a triple back flip and then splashed into the pond.

Lionel clapped.

Ralph poked his head out of the water.

Suddenly the toons got a notification about a cog invasion.

"Ralph get out of the water, we need to fight the cogs" Meowed Lionel.

Ralph groaned. "We don't HAVE to..."

Lionel looked annoyed at him. "No but we should anyway, the world may be ending in September but we can't let the cogs win"

Ralph got out of the water and shook his umbrella and himself dry. "Yeah thinking it over part of me still isn't convinced on that..."

"What more will it take to convince you?!" Hissed Lionel.

"Weeeeeeell, I need to hear from Jinx seeing how she has psychic powers she MUST know... I'll ask her tomorrow" Said Ralph.

"Why can't you ask her right now? Her house is over there." Lionel pointed to Jinx's house.

"Because she's probably busy, and besides I'm late for a party." Ralph pulled his portable hole and left. Lionel sighed as he headed for the playground.

For the next few hours Lionel worked on his Toon Tasks and fought the Cogs until he finally got tired and decided to head home for the night.
