I then spun the wheel, anticipating what game will be next. The wheel landed on Connect Four!

"There we have it, folks!" Said Bumpus. "Go for it red! Go for it Black! Go for it! CONNECT FOUR!"

"Mister Wobbleworks! You're getting that jingle in my head!" Komodo cried in stress. "I'm gon'na be singing it until the break of dawn! Go for it... DANG IT!"

Tibby and Tooey wobbled to the scene with a fairly large crate.That crate housed the chips used for this unique game of Connect 4. The chips inside were chatting with each other.

"Is it okay if we let all the chips out?" Tibby asked.

Tooey nodded his head, and opened the crate.

"IIIIIIINCOMING!!!!" Cried the twenty-one, red and black chips, as they charged to us.

"Take it easy, guys! Take it easy!" I said while slightly panicking.

"Go for the fun of Connect four!" Said one of the black chips as it ran up to me. "Four in a row wins!"

I picked up said chip and talked to it "Look in my right blue eye, little fella. I played Connect Four for quite a while. And this game is LIGHTNING FAST! Most folk were winning this when they were four years old! They were in daipers demolishing their innocent opponents!"

"If I am correct, and I always am, I'm certified Connect Four PRO!" Komodo bragged. "I take my time to think about what my opponent is going to do."

Bumpus laughed his tail of at what Komodo and I were saying. "The rules are simple, everyone. Connect four chips, HIT IT!"

"Oh no..." Komodo sighed.

The connect four chips explained the rules...in the form of a song! 

"Go for it, Red! Go for it, Black! Go 4 it! (GET OFF MY BACK!) Connect 4! Just three in a row? Go 4 one more! Go 4 it! (Too late, Slow-mo!) Connect 4! Go 4 the bottom, go 4 the top! Watch the block! (Forget it, you're stuck!) Go 4 the glory! Go 4 the score! Go 4 it! Connect 4!"

"Sheez, they can sing." Said Lazlo. "Good luck singing it in the shower, Komodo!"

"Bumpus, it appears we're going to have the geniuses duel." I said. "Quigley and Komodo's strategies are the perfect two opponents!

Komodo smiled when he saw one of the chips. He thought it was cute. "I choose black, since it won't camoflauge with me."

A red chip tugged on Professor Quigley's lab coat and said, "You're with red, sir."

The two geniuses of the Cartoon Heroes looked each other in the eye, ready for their strategy to clash together.

"I've a qestion. Since these lil' dudes are 'bout 2 feet tall, how would they fit in the thing?" MC Ballyhoo asked. He then saw the game towering over him. "I'm lookin' up..."

Quigley and Komodo are already playing, and nobody said they could start!

After three drops, Komodo decided to strategize. "The usual game of Connect 4 is constant blocking of the four in a row. If I make the--"

"I'm hearing all of this!" Professor Quigley teased over Komodo's speech.

"If I make the wrong move, Quigley will win for sure."

"KOMODO! This isn't about winning, this is about fun!" Tooey yelled from the bottom of the game.

"And Connect 4 is completely about being a certified genius, LIKE ME!" Komodo dropped the black chip without looking. Said chip landed on a red chip.

"Was that kobold even looking?" Said the red chip.

"I'M A MECHANA-KOMODO DRAGON!!!" Komodo shouted. "DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY SPECIES?!!!"

Tibby struggled to hold her laughter in at what Komodo is saying.

"And before any of you two go haywire over your minds, there are lights above your heads indicating where the chips are." Bumpus informed. "Good luck with stratigicness, boys!"

"You might wan'na cover your ears." I warned.

Bumpus pulled his ears down to the point where he nearly couldn't hear anything.

"Go ahead, you two, break the rules and go crazy. Take turns and don't get hurt while you're at it."

"SHUT UP AND TAKE MY RED CHIPS, KOMODO!!!" Professor Quigley cried.

Komodo dropped three chips down forcefully and replied by yelling, "ACCEPT THE BLACK CHIPS THAT'LL FALL INTO YOUR RING OF FIRE! CONNECT FOUR IS ABOUT BEING SMART, AND PERDICTING WHAT YOUR OPPONENT IS DOING!"

Komodo dropped three chips down forcefully and replied by yelling, "ACCEPT THE BLACK CHIPS THAT'LL FALL INTO YOUR RING OF FIRE! CONNECT FOUR IS ABOUT BEING SMART, AND PERDICTING WHAT YOUR OPPONENT IS DOING!"

"I've had a win streak of a whopping FIVE, and I don't even...have...five...FIIIIINGEEERS!!!" Suddenly, Komodo fell into the Connect 4 game unit!

"GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY!" MC Ballyhoo shouted.

"Help! I'm stuck!" Komodo cried.

"Boys, and girl, we have to do something!" I said.

Tooey wobbled up to Komodo and grabbed his forepaws to the point where he's squeezing them. "Lazlo, grab my shell."

Lazlo responded, ran up, and tugged Tooey's shell too hard.

"Gently, please."

Lazlo began to walk backward, holding Tooey by his shell. Komodo slowly started to come out the hole. Komodo looked behind himself and saw that he suddenly won the game! "I won?" Komodo asked himself while slowly being pulled out.

Lazlo and Tooey sucessfully pulled Komodo out of his stuck situation. The rest of us cheered for the two who saved him.

"Are you okay, Komodo?" Asked Lemmy.

"One, yes. Two, that anger was Quigley and I playing around." Komodo replied with a dazed expression.

"Yeah, Komodo and I were just playing." Quigley added. "We weren't acually arguing."

"WE WIN!!!" Cheered the black chips.

"Shut up! It's not nice to brag about your victory!" Said the red chip next to one of the black ones.

In the mean time, Tooey went Weeblin' and Wobblin' into Tibby's arms. "What a genrerous man..." She flirted. This then resulting in her kissing him.

"Tibby, please! You're far too pure." Tooey giggled as he blushed.
