Toontown Short Stories

The Doctor's Regret

Now you see, when you think of Toontown, you think of rainbows, gags, happy times, teamwork, fighting brilliant battles and winning in the end, or just golfing or racing or just goofing around.

The happy sing-songs of the toons that deepened into the professor's mind, he had his usual scientist clothes, except it was slightly torn, he was not the ever-so naive scientist that he was back in his day, his gloves don't feel as clean and they also had slight tears on them too, it didn't feel as 'toony' as it did back then.

You see, it was back at the time of September the 19th where Doctor Surlee had planned to go back in time to change 'certain' pieces of a chess board, what chess board is this? Why toontown of course.

He had a sad face when he thought of toontown, while they were in another town that was like it, it never felt the same as it did back then, it basically broke the professor's heart having to think of the failure of having to balance things and make peace and end what seemed like a endless battle of pies, ships, guilt trips, and such.

They always won, right? Then why did it not end?

Also, where was Prepostra and the other.. one? He could not remember the other professor's name, but he knew that he was a rather short duck that was light green, always the goofy one, while the other one, Prepostra, was a dark blue-ish horse that was often the serious and concentrating one.

They had planned to make the world stop fighting, to create peace, but they failed because they could not find the supposed 'Cog Nation' that had been wrapping around the toon's finger of manipulating the others in believing that being happy was truly good, the toons couldn't understand the ideals of having to settle down, THEY wanted to battle, it was their only source of fun that never died down.

What a fool they were, and what a crash it had been when the devastation came.

At least Flippy survived, and the shopkeepers, at least THEY did, he smiled ever so slightly at the hope, but he eventually frowned when he remembered that hope was the very thing that made him ever-so foolish.

Thinking back, he eventually understood the cogs, on why they fought against the toons, they seemed to be asking for world domination, it seemed so much like that, the toons were blind, the shopkeepers were, HE was, and every day he wanted to undo the mistakes of his past.

But his eyes opened soon after 'Toontown' got catastrophic, the cogs were not fighting for dominance, they weren't fighting for greed of money even though they seemed to be, they weren't fighting for unfair law or to boss everyone about or to sell things endlessly.

They were fighting for freedom, to truly have the right of being someone that wasn't a 'it' but rather a 'him' or a 'her', they were always extremely determined about their goals, and ideals, he personally wished that he wasn't the sad and pathetic professor he was but rather someone who just stepped his foot down with the determination of to do things that was right.

Ultimately, that was what the cogs had wanted to do, no matter if they won or not.

But then again, he knew exactly why that Toontown first ended, it was because eventually it wasn't balanced and the Cogs had no choice but to use 2.0 versions in the streets just to win, of course due to the endless amounts of experienced gag toons they had failed.

He always had chills down his spine when he was out and about thinking what would happen if one of the sides won, if the cogs won, the pollution from the factories and constructions they'd create around the place would have gotten into the heat waves, and made it so hot that eventually, Toons and Doodles were extinct and even then, the Cogs would have melted into nothing, being a 'immediate create and immediate destroy' example.
