Corporate Take-Over

You yawn, open your eyes, and roll out of your ludicrous bed. You do a double-take of the room. Something doesn't look right. You aren't sure what, but there's definately something wrong. You pad over to Fred, who's sleeping peacefully in an equally stupid bed. "Fred? FRED!"

He leaps for the ceiling with a yelp and, in accordance with toon humour, comes back down on a nail in the floor. There follows a long, tedious routine of leaping oround and bashing into things. You finally grab him and bring his face up to yours. "What's wrong about this scene?"

Fred looks around, confused. He double-takes, loking even more confused. "Beats me. Everything looks OK, but it feels... wierd. Like... it's not our room?" he hazards.

You look around again, and it hits you. Everything's there, but it just looks different. As if it were in a different style... You look down at yourself and gasp. You're in a different style, too! What's Lengths up to?

"Oi!" you bellow at nowhere in particular. "Cut out the experimentation, OK? It's bad enough being a 'toon without someone else drawing you!" You concentrate, and everything returns to 'normal'. You hear a gasp, and a crashing noise.

Odd. You'd been expecting an angry Dr. Lengths. Something feels wrong. "Erm, hello?"

"WHAT'S THIS?", booms an unfamiliar voice, "LIVING CARTOONS?"

"Where's Lengths?" Fred looks utterly bamboozled.

The voice gives a discreet cough. "LENGTHS HAS BEEN... SUBJECTED TO A HOSTILE TAKE OVER. ALL COPYRIGHTS AND PATENTS ON HIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOW BELONG TO THE ANIMATION CARTEL THAT I REPRESENT. AND THAT APPARENTLY INCLUDES YOU."

You and Fred exchange horrified looks. Now what's going to happen to you?
