Chapter 3: New Resistance Members

The Cog stepped into the building. It looked at Tyler, Gustavo, and Maria in disgust. Suddenly, it reached out and grabbed the newspapers out of their hands. The Cog turned and walked out the door. But before it got very far out, a piano landed on it. The Cog got out from it and exploded. Flippy came into the Office, a smile on his face.

"We gotta stop meeting like this," he said when he saw it was Tyler, Gustavo and Maria again. Flippy took out some kind of devices He handed one to each of them.

"What are these?" Tyler asked.

"They are Laff Meters, they track how happy you are," Flippy replied.

"Why do we need these?" Maria asked, taking one of the devices.

"These Cogs want to make all Toons sad. This device tracks how happy you are, so you can be careful and not go sad," Flippy replied.

"Wow you sure know alot about these Cogs," Gustavo said.

"Yes, well, the Toon Council... does it's research fast.." Flippy said, suddenly looking nervous. Tyler had a feeling he was lying to them about something. Flippy gave them some gags-- Cup Cakes and Squirting Flowers, the classics. He then handed them Fruit Pie Slices, Cream Pie Slices, Fruit Pies, Cream Pies, Birthday Cakes, Glass of Waters, Squirt Guns, Seltzer Bottles, Fire Hoses and Storm Clouds. Flippy took out a bag of other gags, Sound, Drop Lure Trap, and Toonup. He told Tyler, Gustavo, and Maria to make their choices of the gag tracks they wanted. Tyler chose Sound, Trap Lure and Toonup, Maria chose Sound, Drop, Toonup and Lure. Gustavo chose Sound Trap Lure and Drop. Flippy wrote down all their chocies, as well as their names.

"Very well, I have a question for you," Flippy said.

"What's that?" Gustavo asked.

"Do you three want to be Toon Resistance members?" Flippy asked. Tyler, Maria and Gustavo looked at one another. "Yes," they answered in unison.
