"Are we in Toy Heaven?" Thor asked.
"No, I don't think so, but it looks like we're in for a ride." Cherry commented.
"Well, at least we're safe from that muck." Atticus remarked.
"Amen." Lionel and Mo agreed.
Soon, everyone went non-sentient as the man came back to scoop them up and take them into his shop as they looked around curiously and were brought back into a private room to be worked on. Many tools could be shown as the man was soon using a blender at the moment before he drank from the pitcher and had a handful of marshmallows, stuffing them in his mouth. There was then suddenly a ringing bell sound heard from outside the room.
"A customer!" The man muffled as he left the room and went to tend to that while the appliances and action figure group were left alone in the room.
"Seems like a nice fella," Radio commented. "Dingy, but nice."
Just then, they heard a chuckling from above. Looking up, they saw a Peter Lorre-faced ceiling lamp descending. "Yes... Mr. St. Peters is quite an amusing fellow, isn't he?" he mused. "Oh, you poor baby... your bulb is burnt out. Here, you can have one of mine."
"Eugh." Thor grimaced as he felt nervous around this lamp somewhat.
The ceiling lamp chucked out his lightbulb and let Lampy take it. Lampy then sneezed out his old lightbulb and used the new one to shine bright once again.
"Use it in good health while you still can~" The ceiling lamp then said in a creepy way.
"Ooookay, sure." Atticus replied.
Suddenly, they all froze when they heard laughter as the man from before was about to come back into the room.
"Hello, compadre," The customer at the appliance shop requested. "I am in deep need of a blender motor."
"Ha, ha! A blender motor? Why, sure," Mr. St. Peters chuckled as the blender looked scared to death and tried to hide before the owner of the shop would come back in. "I got a whole shipment of blender motors in last week."
"That is a total normal way to speak to someone." Cherry mimicked, causing Thor and Lionel to chuckle a little until Atticus shushed he.
"Oh, boy. Heaven sent you to me." The customer said to Mr. St. Peters in relief.
"I could have it for you in two shakes of a lamb's tail!" Mr. St. Peters said as he came back into the room.
"Judging from the look of things, I doubt he's got one stored in a box nearby." mused Lionel.
Mr. St. Peters hummed to himself as he went over to the countertop. "...now, what'd I do with that blender?" he asked himself, looking around. "I coulda sworn I left it here a second ago... I'm gettin' as loopy as a polecat without any whiskers!"
The blender continued to shiver and hide behind the cereal box that was there until it was moved, much to his misfortune.
"There you are! I found ya!" Mr. St. Peters chuckled as he removed the box and spotted the blender right away before going to take the blender over to his work desk. "Better move you guys out of the way." he then said, removing Toaster, Blanky, Radio, and Lampy.
"I wonder why he's scared of him?" Atticus commented.
"We'll probably find out." Cherry replied.
Mr. St. Peters took out some wrapping paper and used a clamp while taking apart the blender while the appliances hid away and watched, looking a little scared at what they were witnessing. The man then slid on a pair of gloves while taking the blender apart with a screwdriver, making the appliances all grimace and wince as it seemed to be painful for them as Cherry began to look a little soft and concerned about that more than anyone else.
"Ha, ha! Whoa. Boy, are you some lucky guy!" Mr. St. Peters chuckled as he boxed up the blender motor and then came out to see his customer in need before shutting the door behind him. "This was the last one left! Can you believe it?"
The hanging lamp soon chuckled and came back down to the new group. "You see? You never quite know what he's going to do. He's so spontaneous." he then remarked to them.
"That's why the blender was so scared." Cherry realized.
"W-Well, how do we escape?" asked Lampy.
"You hear that?" The ceiling lamp cackled. "They want to know how to ESCAPE! Heheheheheheeheeh! Hehehehehehehe!"
"Is that a no on the help thing?" Atticus asked, feeling unsettled by the laughter.
"No, he was just remembering a funny joke about a duck." Cherry replied in a snippy tone of voice that could rival Emperor Kuzco.
Suddenly, the gramophone in the room moved its needle and began to play a creepy organ chord as another song began.
"More singing?" Cherry complained slightly.
"Watch yourself Don't fall off of the shelf~" The other appliances sang to the group.
"You must be the new boys in town~" An old-fashioned female tape recorder remarked to them.
"What's that sound?" Lionel asked.
"Is someone moving 'round?" Thor added.
"Sit down for a spell, you don't look so well~" The hanging lamp sang to them.
"~Waitaminute, I feel great! Just leave yourself to fate!~" declared a coffeepot with fork arms as it leapt out and dangled before Kirby. "~You might as well just haaang around...~"
"What are you supposed to be?" Atticus asked the coffee pot.
"My gosh, Atticus, you can't just ask people what they're supposed to be." Cherry rolled her eyes at that.
"We've got to operate, Just try to relax~" A fan and tape recorder sang to the others.
"It's a house of wax~" The hanging lamp added.
"Oh, I remember Frankenstein, Shivers up my spine~" The others sang, dancing in an almost Thriller sort of way as they surrounded the new appliances and action figure group.
"Whoa-oh I'm for getting out of here~" Kirby sang as he felt unsettled about all of this.
"No need to shout my dear, No-oh~" The others sang and even an oven came in and opened wide, making the others fall into his mouth door. "Who will go to the cellar down below? Trouble is a-bubbling in the brew~"
Cherry and the others stacked up on top of each other and soon Atticus opened the door to let out Lampy, Blanky, Radio, and Toaster while the other appliances were being creepy.
"And while you're down there, Mister Vin-cent Price, will give you good advice~" The appliances continued. "~He'll know what to do... you just tell him 'BOO'!~"
"He will put the voodoo in the stew, I'm tellin' you~!" Lionel joined in, enjoying it. "Say what you will, but these guys know how to put on a show!"
"I kinda like it even though this place is a bit creepy when I see it from an appliance's perspective." Cherry agreed.
"I'm telling you, It's like a movie~" The other appliances sang as the coffeepot's shadow looked creepy before turning into bats that flew away while Toaster, Radio, Kirby, Lampy, and Blanky hid together. "It's a B-movie show, It's like a movie, It's a B-movie show~"
A box then suddenly flew down right in front of them before it opened up to show a very strange looking appliance.
"Look at me," The appliance said to them. "Barf, barf, barf!"
"Um, what are you exactly?" Thor asked.
"Are you supposed to be the Joan Rivers of household appliances?" Cherry added.
"I'm a can opener, a lamp, and a shaver," The appliance replied frantically. "Oh, God, I'm a mishmash!"
"Yep, the Joan Rivers of household appliances." Cherry concluded to herself.
The other cords then suddenly carried that appliance off after that brief introduction.
"This is weird~" Kirby remarked.
"It's much worse than I feared~" Radio added, hiding behind the vacuum cleaner.
"I'll close my eyes and make it disappear~" Lampy said as he joined them.
"This is strange!" They exclaimed.
"It ain't home on the range!" The oven responded.
"We'll just tell St. Pete, that you got cold feet~" The appliances sang.
"There goes the sun, Here comes the night~" Blanky sang as he pointed out the window as the sun was setting.
"Somebody turn on the light, Somebody tell me that fate has been kind~" The others with Blanky sang hopefully before they all got ensnared in more cords by the other appliances.
"You can't go out, You are out of your mind~" Everyone else sang as creepy shadows such as a hand, a knife, and even a wolf came over Lampy before the creepy handed shadows turned into spiders and the group were surrounded by the deranged appliances, looming overhead by their cords, scaring the group a bit, except for maybe Cherry who just enjoyed the tone of the song, being a perky goth and all. "It's like a movie It's a B-movie show, It's like a movie, It's a B-movie show Ah-ahh Ah-ahh Ah-ahh Ah-ahh Ah-ahh ah-ahh Ahhh~"
"Man, was that dark or what?" Atticus commented to the others.
"I liked it." Cherry smirked.
"Of course you did." Mo said as she rolled her earth green eyes.
"I could dig it." nodded Lionel.
"Excuse me, the missus loved the blender motor," The customer behind the door said. "Was wondering if you got some radio tubes, too."
"Sure! I got a whole shipment of radio tubes in this morning." Mr. St. Peter said before coming back into the room.
"You gotta help me. I'll do anything!" Radio begged Toaster and Cherry. "I can get you bread, mounds of hot cross buns. And you, I can give you your own dreamhouse and all of the cars that any doll could ever want! Have you seen what they give Barbie in commercials?"
"Pull yourself together!" Cherry told him before they went to hide.
Mr. St. Peters looked into the carriage before looking frustrated for a moment. "Now what did I do with that radio? I could swear I left it right here in this very, very spot," he then frowned while looking around. "What did it do, get up and walk away? I really should drink more coffee."
Toaster and Lampy then did their best to hide Radio behind them, but it was fruitless.
"Aha! There you are! Ha, ha! I got ya!" Mr. St. Peters said once he spotted Radio and soon dragged him by the antenna to put him to work like he did with the blender earlier.
"Kirby! Whaddo we do?" Toaster whispered.
"I, uh... I don't know!" responded the vacuum.
And then, Lampy spoke up. "...hey!" he exclaimed. "I've got an idea!"
"Any bright ideas then?" Atticus asked the lamp before smirking.
Cherry just rolled her eyes at the forced pun as Lampy began to explain his plan to everyone. Mr. St. Peters soon took out his pliers, going to use them on Radio's antenna while Toaster was by the window and closed the curtains suddenly. Blanky, Lampy, Toaster, and Kirby soon piled together and made howls and moans to look like a ghost to scare off Mr. St. Peters which worked as the man screamed and ran away, especially with Kirby's very convincing evil laugh. Mr. St. Peters ran and screamed until he ran into a post and then suddenly fell flat on the floor due to being in the dark.
"Ooh, he's good," Cherry smirked. "He'd be great for The Haunted Mansion."
"See? It worked!" Lampy beamed as his plan worked out. "I told you! I told you! I knew! It worked!"
"All right, let's get you guys out of here before he wakes up." Thor suggested.
"Jailbreak! Jailbreak! Jailbreak!" exclaimed a megaphone, and all the appliances hopped from the shelves.
Quadruped the dog leaned against the private door only for it to break down behind him as the appliances began to escape once they had the chance. The dog then ran out of the store and climbed into the monster truck. He then put on his seatbelt and then began to drive the monster truck away from the store, somehow knowing how to drive.
"Whatya know, guys? Dogs can drive." Atticus remarked to his friends.
The others just rolled their eyes at that, especially Cherry since it was a well-known fact that Atticus, for whatever reason, decided to teach Patch how to drive. After the monster truck was gone, the appliances all began to go their separate ways. Mr. St. Peters soon woke up after his daze only to find his store empty and the door broken down.
"Did I catch you at a bad time?" The customer asked, finding Mr. St. Peters alone in the room. "Just wondering if you got my radio tubes."
"Come on, guys, we're outta here!" Cherry said as they took the carriage as their transportation back on the road.
"Yup! So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!" Lionel called as they rolled away.
It was nighttime as they made it out and soon, they stood over a hill in the carriage, looking out to the big glittering city that was currently miles away from them.
"Wow!" Lampy beamed at the bright lights.
"Is that where their Master is?" Thor wondered.
"I don't know, but we made it this far." Atticus replied.
Kirby then pulled them all down the hill as they kept going since they just had to keep moving forward. Everyone then cheered as they rode down the hill and Blanky held onto The Master's picture for comfort and luck as they were very close right now.
Of course, that young boy had grown up into a man, and he was packing his bags.
"Honey?" called a female voice. "Are you taking enough underwear?"
"Mom, you've bought me enough underwear to stock the whole dorm, y'know?" asked Rob.
"Do you have enough socks then?" Rob's mother asked.
Rob pulled a bit of a face as he saw several folded socks on his bed in two different rows. "Look, Mom. I'm not going to Jupiter or anything, I'm going to college!" he then reminded her. "It's just college!"
"So let me worry a little bit," Rob's mother replied before they both spoke at the same time. "I'm your mother."
The doorbell then suddenly rang.
"That's probably Chris and her new friend," Rob then said aloud as he came to answer the door. "We're going to the cabin today and pick up like the old lamp and radio and stuff. I can use them at the dorm."
"Oh, terrific!" Rob's mother beamed at that.
Rob soon opened the door to show one of his friends he was expecting.
"Hi, Rob. You ready?" The young woman at the door asked.
"Yeah. Goodbye, Mom!" Rob nodded and then called out on the way out the door.
"Take a sweater!" Rob's mother reminded him.
"Jessica's right here too." Chris said, showing their other friend who just happened to be Atticus's older sister, making a rather unexpected appearance.
"I brought my dog along," Jessica said, showing herself as she carried a certain young female Dalmatian puppy in her arms. "I hope that's okay."
Oddball barked and panted in response before they headed to the car while Rob and Chris smiled at that. In the meantime, the entertainment center and newer lamp came to life once they were alone.
"Hey, Plugsy."
"Yeah?"
"Did you hear that?" The entertainment system asked the lamp. "He's taking some old stuff to the dorm, instead of us."
Plugsy the lamp seemed to have no response to that.
In the meantime, Cherry, Toaster, and the others went down one side of the road just as a certain car went in the other direction.
"All right, go!" Cherry instructed.
"You're gonna like this cabin," Rob said to Chris and Jessica as they drove down the road together. "Too bad we have to sell it."
Soon, the appliances and Alpha Brigade found themselves in the big city, surrounded by neon lights and other such things.
"How are we gonna find the master?" asked Blanky. "In this big place?"
Toaster soon found a phone booth and pointed it out.
"What's a telephone booth gonna do for you guys?" Cherry asked. "It's not like you're gonna call and say you're the missing toaster, radio, blanket, desk lamp, and vacuum cleaner looking for your lost human or something.:
"No, no, we'll use a phone book to look for his name and address." Toaster clarified.
"Oh, well, that works too." Cherry shrugged at that.
They soon came inside as Toaster leafed through the various pages, looking as carefully as she could to find a matching name.
"Here it is!" Lampy pointed out in one of the pages.
Toaster then ripped that page out and they collected it out of the phone booth before going to cross the street.
The traffic lights were in order before they seemed to look down and see the groups in front of them.
"Uh, excuse me?" Cherry spoke up as she looked at the page and faced the traffic light. "Do you know how to get to 2470 McBean Parkway?" she then asked.
"If you could, that would be great." Atticus added.
The traffic light soon turned green and pointed one way for them, leading them that way right away.
"Never thought I'd be asking a traffic light for directions." Cherry commented to the others.
"Yeah, life is funny like that." Thor nodded as they continued on that way.
