Hello, and welcome to my latest Pibby AU, Cartoons vs Toon House! This story takes place after the (sadly hypothetical) Pibby show, meaning the Darkness has been defeated by the time this takes place. But a content farm is threatening the cartoon universe, and threatening the integrity of cartoons and video games alike…

This is basically the culmination of years of snarking and documenting the worst of YouTube Kids brainrot, as my usual Twitter posts on the matter simply wouldn’t do the sheer amount of flaws in this particular series justice. Some people don’t realize that I used to write fanfiction much more frequently when the Infinity Train fandom was still active, I had writer’s block on the front for a while but inspiration has finally struck again! Please note that any feedback is welcome!

Most of the characters in this story are characters from either Cartoon Network shows or popular video games that are often content farmed, but there will be a few original characters in this story too, mainly provided by Connor Crawford, aka James Goosebumps, who was kind enough to help write this story with me. I would also like to thank TerraTerraCotta, who gave notes to help with the writing!

It was a nice and sunny day over at Megan's Residence. Tulip Olsen’s parents were gone for the weekend, which meant that she could finally host a gettogether for the friends she’s made all over the Cartoon Network universe. It just so happened that the Cartoon All Star Baseball game was going to be broadcast live during that weekend, so she invited a whole bunch of cartoon friends over to watch it with her.

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup flew all the way over from Townsville - which was an easy feat. Billy and Mandy also accepted Tulip’s invites. Grim came with them too, but of course he didn’t really have a choice. Finn, Jake, Mordecai, and Rigby also accepted, given how they all love an excuse to just hang out and chill, but there was one more invite Tulip gave that was much more of a shock - Pibby.

Despite having a preschool show character hang out with the “cool kids”, she had defied the expectations of everyone across the cartoon multiverse she helped lead a group of scrappy cartoon underdogs against the seemingly glitchy, and unstoppable force known as the Darkness and managed to defeat it for good. She also fought the main Darkness named Terror; who wanted to rule every single universe. Even if at first she didn’t seem like a cool kid or strong fighter like many of the other cartoons, she managed to earn their respect. So by then, getting invites to parties which used to not allow “baby show characters” at all had become normal for her.

“So what players are you rooting for?” Pibby asked Tulip. “I’m assuming the guys from Milwaukee?"

“No no, I’ve always been a Minnesota person. So many people think I’m from Wisconsin for some reason, but I was actually trying to get to Oshkosh from my home in North Branch, which is in Minnesota.”

“Ohhh!” Pibby exclaimed. “I just got here and I’m already learning new things.”

“The game’s about to start!” said Mordecai.

“This is gonna be good!” said Rigby.

Everyone sat down, watching intently as the first player was going up to bat. But shortly after, the feed all of a sudden cut out and was interrupted by something rather strange. It appeared to show a live feed of a huge mansion, baffling everyone.

“Okay, this is odd. Did some rich guy hook his security cameras up to the wrong app?” said Tulip.

“I don’t recognize that one anywhere, and Jake and I have been to a lot of mansions and castles,” said Finn.

Suddenly, Tulip’s doorbell rang. She ran over and answered it, only to be greeted by an unexpected yet familiar sight. On the other side of the door stood an adult grey humanoid figure with grayish black hair.

“Mr. Boris!” Tulip exclaimed. “What brings you here?”

Boris is a monster who serves as the mayor of CN City. Usually he was quite busy with all the political happenings in such a big city, so Tulip knew that something serious was going on.

“I heard that all the broadcast signals in the Cartoon Network universe have been intercepted by some strange force. May I have a look?” said Boris.

“Sure thing!” Tulip said. “Come on in!”

Soon everyone Tulip had invited over noticed Boris’ presence.

“That forest outside the mansion looks somewhat familiar,” said Blossom.

Boris quickly noticed where the forest in the broadcast was located. 

“Oh my god. That’s the forest that’s located on the outskirts of CN City!” he yelled.

“How did someone manage to build such a huge mansion there in such a short period of time?” said Pibby.

“That’s the thing. There wasn’t even the slightest sign of anything being built there yesterday.”

“But that’s not how construction works!” said Tulip.

“Exactly,” said Boris. “Someone, or something, must have intercepted our reality in order to have the mansion show up for that broadcast.”

“But what exactly could this broadcast be for?” asked Rigby.

Suddenly, a chill ran through the room as a dark figure approached the door.

“Hello, pathetic heroes!” it said in a rather menacing voice.

“BLACK HAT?!?” everyone shouted.

“Is this mansion something you supplied to one of your quote unquote ‘clients’?” said Blossom.

The heroes besides Boris and Mandy had every right to be scared and worried. Besides Terror and the Darkness, Black Hat is the true most powerful villain in the Cartoon Network universe, having not only fought against many heroes but supplying weapons to pretty much every other major Cartoon Network villain.

“Actually, I had my minions investigate it, because for once this is not the work of one of my clients but someone even worse!” Black Hat stated.

“And what exactly could that be?” said Grim. He suspected that this might be the start of yet another really weird adventure he didn’t want to be a part of.

“This mansion and this broadcast are the work of one of the many horrible yet powerful entities known as content farms! With their evil ways, they have the power to manipulate the realities of anything that is popular so they can make absolutely pathetic content for money!”

“But why would you care about that?” said Finn. 

“If these abominable entities are able to twist the realities of anything they so desire, they would stop me from taking over all of them first! They could even force me to fall in love with Demencia!”

“Hey, that doesn’t sound like such a bad thing!” said Demencia. Black Hat had brought all his major employees with him to meet up with the heroes, something he was quickly regretting.

“Shut up, Demencia! That would be an absolutely idiotic idea!”

“So why do you need us heroes?” asked Blossom.

“Just this one time, I insist on having me and my team at Black Hat Organization assist with getting rid of this corrupt content farm and their rancid reality show! We are more likely to get what we want if they don’t keep disrupting our reality!”

Tulip sighed. “Fine. Just this once. But what’s so bad about this show anyway, besides it interrupting all our broadcasts?”

Suddenly, a title card popped up on the TV screen which read “TOON HOUSE”.

“Do you ever get the feeling that something really bad is about to happen?” said Grim.

After the title card faded out, a tall and fairly slender human being with purple hair and a purple suit and tie showed up on screen.

“Welcome to Toon House!” the guy yelled.

“Who even is this guy?” Pibby asked.

“I think he’s the guy who runs the company that’s responsible for all this,” said Boris.

“The wildest show the gaming world has ever seen!” continued the guy on TV.

“Gaming? I thought this show was called Toon House,” said Finn.

“Thirteen toons will live in one house while battling for one legendary crown!” The camera then focused on a gem encrusted gold crown.

“Why is the prize a crown and not something with more tangible value like money?” said Mordecai.

“The last two standing won’t just walk away with bragging rights, they’ll face death defying challenges, explosive drama, ruthless rivalries, all while YOU, the audience, hold the POWER to choose their fate!”

“Can we just cancel the show right now? I already hate this,” said Mandy.

“The last toon standing will claim the almighty Toon Crown! A game-changing prize with powers the world’s never seen.”

Black Hat was furious. “So this mortal has not only summoned a mansion out of nowhere into our world, but he’s giving away an all-powerful artifact with seemingly unlimited power? None of us stand a chance if that thing gets used!” he shouted.

“Which is why all of you need to find a way to stop him,” said Boris.

“So who will rise, who will fall, and who will you save? You know the stakes!” 

The camera then cut from the host to outside the mansion, where a small army of pink, blobby creatures wearing green tracksuits had gathered.

“And who the hell are these pathetic little creatures?” yelled Black Hat.

“Now, meet the chaos!” said the host. Next to him stood a white woman with black hair and black eyeliner, lipstick, hi-tops, and a dress with a fishnet top that made her look like she had come straight out of Hot Topic.

“Do these mortals realize that they will be no match for Black Hat Organization once we get to them?”

A red hot air balloon then descended towards the mansion. Inside the hot air balloon was a character that looked strangely familiar to Tulip.

“Wait, that’s Banban from Garten of Banban!” she said. “But that’s a video game, not a cartoon”.

“Why would a video game character be in a show called Toon House?” asked Pibby.

“I don’t know!” said Tulip. “Garten of Banban is a horror game that’s set in a kindergarten, it has nothing to do with cartoons!”

“The crashout is here, baby! Ready to win and take that crown! Yeah!” said Banban.

“He would never say that. Not once has he ever been called ‘The Crashout’. What is going on here?”

The show then cut to a confession cam, where Banban had an onscreen caption which referred to him as “The Crashout”. “The name’s Banban. And I’m here to take that crown because power belongs to toonsters like ME. Once it’s on my head, I’m not just strong, I’m unstoppable!”

“Once again, you’re not a toon, you’re a video game character!”

Before any of the actual cartoons could continue, the camera cut to another hot air balloon landing, this time with CatNap in it. However, he was wearing shades and holding a rose.

“That’s another video game character, this is from another horror game called Poppy Playtime! Though at least in that game’s lore he appeared in a cartoon,” said Tulip.

“Is he this much of a casanova in the actual game?” said Grim.

“No. Not by a long shot.”

“Ha! Step aside! The real star’s here!” said CatNap. He then walked up to the woman in Hot Topic attire and kissed her hand. “I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than a rose.”

“So this guy has only been here for only ten seconds and he’s already flirting with who I assume is another one of the people behind this operation,” said Buttercup.

The show cut to another confession cam, this one of CatNap, where he was captioned “CoolNap”.

“Who calls themselves ‘CoolNap’? That’s even lamer than when I tried to change my name to ‘Trash Boat’!” said Rigby.

“I’m CatNap, future Toon King! Full time star and part time heartbreaker. When I win, the lights stay on me! Everyone else? Background noise,” said CatNap.

“I hate him already,” said Blossom.

The next hot air balloon had Doey the Doughman in it. 

“Let’s gooooo!” he said. “What up gang? I’m Doey like dough, but more unbaked. Get it? No?”

“Great, now we have bargain bin Barney the Dinosaur,” said Grim.

“Actually, that’s another Poppy Playtime character,” said Tulip. “Though he’s already getting on my nerves.”

Another confession cam started, with Doey being captioned “Meme Lord Doey”.

“As if the memes the Darkness made Bun Bun spout weren’t obnoxious enough,” said Pibby.

“I need that crown! Y’know, need it so I can make the whole world laugh, till they snort cereal out of their noses. I’m talkin’ non-stop belly busters, 24/7 giggle mode!” said Doey. He then proceeded to dab.

Pibby visibly cringed, with the rest of the cartoons soon joining in.

The next hot air balloon had Huggy Wuggy in it, although he appeared to be extremely confused about where he was as he entered. His confession cam captioned him “Dizzy Wuggy”.

“Are any of these nicknames not going to be embarrassing?” Buttercup asked.

“My name is Huggy Wuggy and, uh, I forgot the question, what was it? Oh, okay, I want the Toon Crown because I’ve always… wanted… something… it’s coming to me hold on hold on. I want something magic and with it I’ll make, uh, I forgot what I was gonna say. Can I get back to you about it?” said Huggy Wuggy.

Everyone watching it on TV with Tulip facepalmed.

The next balloon had a pink, peg shaped creature with rabbit ears in it.

“Wait, that’s Pinki from Sprunki! Yet another video game, and that one was made by a 15 year old on Scratch originally!” said Tulip.

“Back off, my aura needs space,” said Pinki.

“Why is Pinki all of a sudden so concerned about her ‘aura’? She’s a pretty nice girl in the actual game!” said Tulip.

“And I’m not being dramatic, this is just who I am!”

“No, it isn’t!” yelled Tulip.

Pinki’s confession cam captioned her “Drama Queen Pinki”.

“I feel honored to be part of this competition. Remember to vote for your one and only, Pinki! If I win, I will make myself the richest, most glamorous pink star around the globe!”

“Can we vote for no one to win?” said Mordecai.

The next character to enter the show via hot air balloon was Banballeena, whose confession cam caption referred to her as “Queen Crashout”.

“I’m Banbaleena,” she said. “If you kill my vibe, you’ll be blocked from existence!"

“Can I block her out of existence?” said Buttercup.

“So vote for me because I’m going to use the crown to control everything in this world!”

“Yet another reason we should stop these fools early. I want to control everything in this world!” said Black Hat.

Mommy Long Legs entered next, who was immediately greeted by Huggy Wuggy flirting with her.

“Hello, my beautiful queen!” he said.

Mommy Long Legs proceeded to ignore him and went straight for CatNap.

“Hi there, handsome!” she said. She then glanced over at Huggy Wuggy. “Whoops, did I say that out loud?”

“We’re not even five minutes into this show and there’s already a love triangle,” said Mandy.

“We’re not even five minutes into this show and it already feels like an eternity,” said Grim.

Mommy Long Legs’ confession cam captioned her “Spider Babe”.

“I’m Mommy Long Legs, but you can call me ‘Spider Babe’,” she said.

“I’d rather not. That’s such a weird and creepy nickname!” said Buttercup.

“I came for the crown, and maybe a new man!” she said.

The next hot air balloon carried a small pink creature wearing a tan sunhat.

“That’s a crewmate from Among Us! Yet another video game and still not a cartoon!”

“Aw, look at you sweet babies!” said the crewmate. She then kissed a couple of the minions on the cheek. “Mommy’s here!”

“Mommy?” said Pibby.

The crewmate’s confession cam captioned her as “Your Mom”.

“Is this some sort of a sick joke Muscle Man is pulling on us?” said Mordecai.

“Hi, I’m Your Mom,” said the crewmate. “No, seriously, like that’s actually my name. So go ahead, get the jokes out of your system now, I’ll wait, and if I win, I’ll make the world a better place!”

“You’ve gotta be kidding me!” said Buttercup. “These names are just getting worse and worse.”

On the show, the female host started flirting with Banban.

“Hm, nice! Is that TNT, or just you?” she said.

“Haha, you know it, baby! Banban is built differently,” said Banban.

“That’s normally pretty unprofessional behavior to flirt with one of the hosts on a reality show like that,” said Finn.

“Excuuuuse me!” Banballeena shouted. “That’s my man!”

“Girl, please,” the female host said. “He may be your man, but he’s looking at me like I’m the sequel!”

Banballeena attempted to beat up the female host, only for her to quickly dodge the attack.

“Dang it, if she didn’t dodge that attack that would be one less mortal for less to deal with,” said Black Hat.

Banballeena then fell over onto Pinki, knocking over one of her fake eyelashes and slapping her in the face.

“Oh no. She did not!” said Pinki.

“I fight cute, but keep flirting with my man and I’ll sharpen my eyeliner in your phone!”

“Give it your best shot, babe!” said the female host. “I’ll clear my schedule!”

Banballeena then started fighting the female host. As everyone else watched in horror, Doey got out his phone and shouted “Caught you in 4K!”

“Not funny!” said Pibby.

A giant heart shaped hot air balloon then showed up, carrying two more Among Us crewmates, one purple and one white, who were both making out with each other. The purple crewmate had a pink flower on her head while the white crewmate had a snowball on his head. Everyone proceeded to watch them in disgust.

“What is this, Love Island?” said CatNap.

“You tell me…” said Buttercup as she rolled her eyes.

The crewmates’ confession cam identified them as “Sandy & Snowball, The Power Couple”.

“Hi, I’m Sandy!” said the female crewmate. “I just want everyone to be happy, and maybe let me win without realizing it? That would be lovely!”

“I’m Snowball!” said the male crewmate. “I wanna win, sure, but if Sandy wins, that would feel even better!”

“Eww…” said Mordecai.

“Said the guy who can’t get any girls!” said Rigby.

Another Among Us crewmate then arrived, this one red and wearing a red beanie.

“Based on wind velocity, gravitational track, and traumatic tension, I calculate a 97.8% chance that I just entered the winning quadrant!” said the red crewmate.

“He reminds me of the scientist I took that portal gun from,” said Pibby.

“You mean Rick?” said Black Hat. “And it seems just like Rick, he thinks he’s the smartest person in the world even though he’s not.”

The red crewmate’s confession cam identified him as “Jeff”, which was apparently short for “Einstein Jeff”.

“I’m Jeff,” said the crewmate. “I’m the plot twist no one saw coming! While they’re all planning alliances, I’m planning world domination! I hold all the facts and formulas, and soon they’ll realize I’m the final exam they didn’t study for!”

“I don’t see any alliances, I just see flirting and fights,” said Pibby.

The next contestant was Vineria, who was meditating as a blue aura orb manifested in front of her.

“The stars align. The chakras hum. And the universe whispers, ‘win with grace’,” Vineria chanted.

Vineria’s confession cam captioned her “Zen Master”.

“Oh god, they turned the calm one into a hippie,” said Tulip.

“I’m Vine-era,” Vineria said as she manifested another aura orb.

“She can’t even pronounce her own name right? What is going on here?”

“I don’t compete! I manifest! Mmm, yes! I see… me… winning! My predictions are always right! I do private readings! Payment accepted in vibes, snacks, or Paypal.”

“Alright, everyone is here. Let’s go in,” said the female host.

“Thank glob. We’re getting really sick of all these nonstop character introductions,” said Finn.

Unfortunately, one last hot air balloon then showed up, carrying Oren.

“OH, COME ON!” yelled Pibby.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t forget me! You guys, wait for me!” said Oren.

This caught Pinki’s attention. “Wait, do you hear that?” she said. “Oh my gosh! Oren! He’s here! Everyone, stop everything! My literal boyfriend just arrived!” She then ran over and grabbed Oren. “Oh, my love, I’m so glad you could make it!”

“I made it for you!” said Oren. “I mean, for the show, but mostly you.” 

Pinki then proceeded to give him kisses all over his face. “Okay, Romeo, save the flirting for later! Right now, we’ve got a show to steal!”

“Your show has already stolen several acres of the forests outside our city,” said Blossom.

Oren’s confession cam captioned him “Shy Guy Oren”.

“Uh, I’m Oren,” he said. “I don’t know, I guess winning would be cool. So would people actually hearing the music that I make? That would be nice.”

“Sprunki is literally a game where every character makes music! Of course people have heard your music, Oren! How do you misunderstand your own game this badly?” said Tulip.

The Toon House cast then gathered in the foyer of the mansion. It was a rather large room with a double staircase.

“Welcome to the Toon House!” the male host yelled. “Where dreams, drama, and delusions come to life!”

“I’m assuming those delusions include the idea that this show will actually be successful,” said Mandy.

“I will leave you with Bella, my trusty assistant, who will give you the grand tour! And if you need anything, don’t be shy, our sometimes handy Pawns are at your service!” he continued.

“Wait, the main host still hasn’t introduced himself,” said Black Hat. “You think with his ego, and the fact that every other worthless character on the show has been introduced by name that that would be his first priority.”

(Spoiler: the main host’s name wouldn’t be revealed for the rest of the episode.)

“By the way, before the drama continues, who’s your pick to win it all, and claim the almighty Toon Crown? Is it Doey the Meme Lord? Maybe Pinki the Drama Queen? Or Huggy Wuggy just tripping his way to victory? Vote now at STA Studios dot co slash vote or scan the QR!”

“They’re expecting enough people to watch this crap that they’ll vote on a website?” yelled Black Hat.

Tulip proceeded to use her phone to scan the QR code displayed on the screen. Sure enough, it directed her to a website with a poll that listed all of the “contestants” of the show.

“Oh god, it actually works!” says Tulip.

“Great, so now we have to intercept a website too,” said Black Hat.

The show cut back to Bella leading the contestants across the foyer.

“Follow me for your grand tour,” she said.

She then led the contestants to a room which resembled an elementary school cafeteria, complete with a colorful tile floor and benches to eat at.

“Why does this mansion have a whole school cafeteria in it?” asked Pibby.

“Here’s the cafeteria. Dining will happen here. Aaand…”

Doey proceeded to shovel all sorts of food onto a tray with his arms. He then filled up a cup with liquid from a dispenser labeled “Toon Juice”.

“Yo, this place is snack heaven!” he exclaimed. “Also, is this juice supposed to v-v-vibrate back?”

“Yes, that’s the point. Now moving on.”

“The fat one likes to eat a lot. Real original idea that totally isn’t just using negative stereotypes for comedy,” Buttercup said sarcastically.

Bella led the contestants into a blank room covered in metallic, sci-fi looking tiles.

“This is the challenge room,” she said. “Where champions are made.”

“Wait, why is this room empty?” said Jeff.

“Don’t worry, Einstein. That’s the point. And now to the bedroom.”

Bella then showed the contestants a ridiculously large bedroom, full of bunk beds, cabinets, couches, beanbag chairs, rugs, bookshelves, and even a vanity.

“Alright everybody, this is your free time before the first challenge. Mingle, snoop, scheme, I don’t care. Just don’t go full goober in the room. The season’s just begun.”

“That’s it?” said Pibby. “There were only three or four rooms in total that they showed. I’m pretty sure Bun Bun and I’s little cottage has more rooms than that!”

“Hey minions,” said Doey. “Fetch me some snacks!”

Two Pawns then showed up carrying trays of snacks for the contestants.

“So these pawn guys are like slaves? And I thought what Billy and Mandy made me do was dumb,” said Grim.

“So, uh, blue thing. Where’d they dig you up?” Banban asked Huggy Wuggy.

“The Playplace,” he said.

“Playplace? Like the McDonald’s Playplace? That’s a place for clowns,” said Doey.

“It’s Playtime Co.” said Tulip. “And shouldn’t Doey know what that is, since he’s also at the Playtime Co. factory?”

“I’m just shocked these producers got access to Playtime Co. in the first place,” said Black Hat.

“You know what that is? I thought you didn’t play video games.”

“I may not play video games, but I have found the realities that exist in them have access to so much technology I could use for EVIL! I’ve attempted to take over not only Playtime Co., MIRA, and the Garten from Garten of Banban, but also Joey Drew Studios, Hamelin, Gardenview Center, Waygetter Electronics, Willy's Wonderland, Frankie's Parkour Palace, Happy's Humble Burger Farm, The Neighborhood Studios, Harmonic Heights, and way too many theme parks. But unfortunately, after Mordecai and Rigby stopped my takeover of Fazbear Entertainment, I have not had much luck convincing the owners of those companies to sell them to me.”

“Yeah, well you took advantage of us needing money so you could torture us with all those animatronics!” said Mordecai.

“No, it’s not like that. Our’s had traps!” said Huggy Wuggy. “And vents. And screams.”

The show then cut to another confession cam of Banban.

“Playplace? Please. The only playplace I know is where burger eating clowns are born. And Huggy, he’s the biggest bluest clown of them all.” he said.

“Why is everyone here so obsessed with McDonald’s?” said Rigby. “I don’t know any monsters who eat tons of fast food!”

“We weren’t clowns,” Huggy said in another confession cam. “We were experiments! Big difference.”

Meanwhile, the Among Us crewmates started to make small talk with each other.

“I didn’t think I’d see you guys again!” said Snowball.

“Yes, it’s been a while since our last time on the Among Us universe,” said Your Mom. “How have you been? How’s your handsome little son Snowball Jr.”

“He’s grown up fast. And Jeff, what do you have to say, man? Are you still planning on taking over the universe with your super intelligence?”

“Most certainly,” said Jeff. “Even if 80% of the universe truly crossed authentic knowledge, we might finally stand a real chance at saving it from completely falling apart. Maybe. With a good AI copilot.”

“Fascinating as always, Jeff,” Your Mom said sarcastically. “I’ll pretend I understood that. And you, that flower is still flawless! How did it survive all that time?”

“It’s probably a fake flower. I see people wear those all the time,” said Pibby.

“Thank you, Your Mom!” said Sandy. “My secret Bio Bloom spray, like vitamins for petals! It’s so good to see you again! You always made the ship feel like home! Even if half the crew was acting sus.”

“Aw, you’ve always been the sweetest!” said Your Mom. “Now come here, everyone! Your Mom says it’s Among Us hug time! And don’t worry, Your Mom always knows who the imposters are.”

Meanwhile, Oren was listening to music, Pinki was writing in a notebook, and Vineria was moving around crystals.

“One of these stones will reveal the winner. You’ll see,” she said.

“That’s kind of cool!” said Pinki. “Can you summon those stones to make me super famous?”

“Since when did Sprunkis care about any of that type of stuff?” said Tulip. “They just like to hang out and sing with each other!”

“Girl, I don’t have access to enough sorcery for a feat like that!” said Vineria.

“Let’s not kill the good vibes,” said Oren.

As if right on cue, Huggy Wuggy and Banban were still arguing with each other and soon started to beat each other up.

The feed suddenly cut to a viewing room, where the hosts of the show were monitoring the contestants’ every move.

“Oh look, we don’t even need to stir the pot,” said Bella. “They brought their own spoons. Only the delulu will be left standing.”

The main host then broadcast an announcement to the contestants.

“Attention, everyone! It’s time to meet in the challenge room! For the first challenge!”

“Well, well, well,” said CatNap in a confession cam. “The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here! Though judging by the looks on their faces, it’s a full house of scaredy cats. Except me, of course. I was born ready. Challenge please, I live for this! I’m either the real deal or the best actor in the game.”

“Finally, we get to see some real action!” said Blossom.

Suddenly, a large TO BE CONTINUED title card appeared on screen.

“Are you kidding me?” said Buttercup. “They ended the episode before something that could have been exciting actually happened?”

“Well, the good news is that that buys us some time to start planning out how we can infiltrate this Toon House before anyone gets that crown and starts really breaking the cartoon realities with it,” said Black Hat. “Say, why don’t you do-gooders come over to my place so we can stop this STA Studios corporation from making the concept of cartoons into a complete joke together! Just don’t touch ANYTHING important to me!”

Everyone besides Boris and Mandy took a step back away from Black Hat, knowing how evil and terrifying he truly is.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this situation already looks so dire that it’s worth taking that risk. Come on, Cartoon Network heroes! Let’s go!” said Pibby.

“While you guys all work on stopping STA Studios and Toon House, I’ll watch over CN City to make sure nothing too bad happens to it,” said Boris. “I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope to see you once they are defeated!”

“We will!” said Pibby. She and her crew then headed over to Black Hat’s manor to start planning their counter attack.
