Well, Jimmy and his friends are about to go find Sherman and try to rescue him, but Sherman is surprised by the fact that he used to be on a 90's show. But Goten has a surprise for Sherman that sounds pleasant to his friends, but not to Sherman. Oh, boy, this could end only badly.

Later that night at the Worthington apartmen, Sherman and his new friends were just finishing up "Nicktoons Roundup"'s 8th season. Sherman was clearly won over by this series.

"Face it, Gideon, you're not goin' anywhere." Sherman said, while he was tangling with Gideon. "I don't care what you're trying, but whatever it is, you'll never win."

"And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and your goat!" Gideon then said. Sherman got a good grip on Gideon and threw him into a saloon, where he was dazed and stunned before a rope lasso grabs him.

"Well, you're goin' to jail for a long time, Gideon, say goodbye to the Gleeful Family and home!" Cindy then said, lassoing a fleeing Gideon.


"You did it, Sherman!!" TV Helga then said.

"I'm relieved that he didn't use the dynamite to destroy the town!" Gerald then said, putting back his Texas Cowboy hat back on.

"You said it!" Cindy then said, relieved.

Goten then accidentally lit the dynamite, much to the surprise of everyone.

"Goten! What did you do that for?!" Sherman said, surprised.

"Wait, this isn't a barrel of Fireworks?!" Goten then said, shocked. "I thought these were fireworks!"

Then, Cindy tried to fan the flames, but no avail.

"That's not the way to put them out, it takes real smarts to put out the fire!" Goten said, then he jumps on the explosive and landed on it
 
with his rear end. He then screams as his butt catch on fire. "YEEOWW! My biscuits are burnin'!"

Then, Gompers doused the barrel with water. Everyone glares at Goten, who shrugs sheepishly.

Then, cute forest animals arrived, chattering.

"Those critters are back!" Cindy exclaimed.

The critters chattered, concerned.

"What's that? Snakebite Wolfgang's comin' back and this time he's bringing a gang with him, planning to take over this town?!" Sherman said, surprised.

The critters nodded.

"What should we do?!" Cindy asked, curiously.

"Why if he thinks he can push us around with a new band of bullies, then he's got another thing comin!" Sherman said, surprised.

The townsfolk cheered.

Cindy yodeled out loud and then, Pinkie Pie, Cindy's beloved pet pony, ran to over to the commotion, and Cindy got on the saddle, and Pinkie Pie rode off into the sunset.

"Yeeehaaaa!" Cindy exclaimed. "Ride like the Wind, Pinkie Pie, the show's running low!"

Sherman then got on Gompers’s back and shouted, "Ride like the wind, Gompers!"

Gompers then rode off.

"There goes my hero." Penny then said, blushing.


"Well, once again, our brave little Sherman Peabody has saved the town of Harmony Gorge once again, but what new adventures await? Tune in Super Sunday as we air the final season of "Nicktoons Roundup", aka: Sherman's Finest Adventure!" The TV announcer said.

"Awesome! One last season!" Sherman then said, excitedly, but then, Cindy sadly turned off the TV, Sherman was confused. "Wait, what's going on? We could've waited another day until we started to watch the next season."

"That's all." Carl Wheezer then said.

"Wait what?" Sherman then said.

"Guys, I thought I made it clear we weren't going to tell him that!" Carl Lewis then said, in shock.

"Well, Sherman, the show got canceled before the NFL Playoffs even began." Goten then said. Sherman was angrily shocked. "But don't worry, there's a Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie coming out in 2014."

"Maybe there's a reboot coming?" Helga asks.

"A reboot would be terrible. Last thing we need is someone making the show into an unfunny, unwatchable attrocity." Sheen then said, angrily.

"What?" Sherman said, shocked.

"He was bound to find out eventually." Mason then said.

"But there could've been an easier way, right?" Arnold then said.

"Although it was critically acclaimed, we were like Puppies on a farm when it came to ratings, the bigger animals: shows like Family guy, Animaniacs, Dexter's lab, Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, ETC." Edmund then said.

"Wait a second! This was a great show! What about the critters, the character development, the humor? It was the best show on Nick! Who could cancel a show like that?!" Sherman ranted, running towards Goten.

"2 Words," Goten then said with a glare. "Paramount Pictures. Once Jimmy Neutron became a hit in theaters back in 2001, ratings declined even more once children only wanted to play with space toys."

"I know how that feels." Sherman replied, remembering when Trent received Jimmy as a birthday present a year ago, and how jealous he was when Jimmy became the popular toy in Trent's room.

"But I can't believe it! I have my own show." Sherman then said, looking at all the merchandise.

"Didn't you know? You're valuable property!" Helga exclaimed.

"You were popular in the 90's! We're surprised that you don't remember, I mean, it was only a few years ago." Cindy then said.

"How can you not know about a show you were in?" Libby asked.

"Well, judging by the low ratings, how could anyone expect me to know about this?" Sherman said, chuckling.

"Let me show you around." Carl Lewis then said, wheeling his way towards some of the merchandise, with Sherman fallowing. Gerald proceeded to play Partyman by Prince as Sherman looked through the merchandise.

There was a can with Sherman's face painted on it, with the glasses sticking out. Sherman was curious, so he pushed the glasses with his working arm, and bubbles came out of his ear.

"Whoa. That's actually neat." Sherman said, impressed, with Gompers played with one of the bubbles before they popped.

Sherman then noticed there was a small picture of him near one of the merchandise, he walked past it and the picture turned into a picture of Mr. Peabody in an instant, Sherman laughed.

"I get it." Sherman said, humored. " "I'm a dog too"."

Then, he noticed something that made him smile, a record player, the record had the show's theme song on it.

"Now this is cool." Sherman then said. "I haven't seen anything like this in ages!" That might've been an exaggeration.

"Hey Arnold, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Gerald asked.

"Yeah." Arnold then said. He then started to play the record, and Arnold and Gerald jumped on the record and walked on it like a treadmill.

"Wow. That's even great!!!" Sherman exclaimed, he decided to join in, he then decided to speed up the record, making it like an actual treadmill. Cindy joined in on the fun as well as she laughs, "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!!"

"This is awesome! I never knew I was part of a popular show." Sherman then said.

"Yeah! And the best part is that this merchandise will be part of a museum!" Harold then stopped.

"WHAT?!" Sherman exclaimed, shocked. Then, he stopped running and toppled some of his new friends. "Who said anything about a museum?"

"Don't you know? We're heading to one of the most well known Toy History Museums in Tokyo!" Goten then said.

"That's in Japan!" Penny then said.

"What?!" Sherman said, in shock. "No, no, you have the wrong idea!!!"

"Wait, what do you mean?" Cindy asked, concerned as everyone's smiles left. The music then stopped.

"I can't go to Japan!" Sherman said.

"Well, why not?" Penny asked.

"Look, this was great and all. But I should go. I have to get back to my owner, Trent." Sherman said, showing the shoe that has Trent's name on it.

Everyone gasped while Gompers looks surprised. Penny exclaimed, "He still had an owner?!"

"This is not good." Goten said, concerned. Then he notices something that concerns him even more: Cindy is hyperventilating.

"I can't go.....I just can't do it." Cindy said, hyperventilating.

"What the-?" Sherman asked, raising an eyebrow. One moment she is excited and happy to see him. Then suddenly, she is acting like something terrible has happened because of what he said.

"You can't make me go into storage! I don't want to! It's not fair!" Cindy yelled in fear, hyperventilating.

"Cindy, calm down!" Goten said, but then, Cindy shook his box in panic.

"I won't go back into the dark! I just can't go back!" Cindy yelled.

"Did I miss something?" Sherman asked, concerned. "What's wrong with her?"

Goten sighs as he said, "We have been waiting in storage since 1999, waiting for you to show up." However, Sherman knows that Arnold has his own non canon spinoff from Nicktoons' Roundup, so why are the Hey Arnold toys going to the museum with the Roundup Gang?

"What? Why me?"

"Evan plans on selling his collection. But the museum will only agree to have it as long as you are in it. If you go now, he'll will put all back into storage, just as simple as pie."

"What? And do his parents know about this?"

"Maybe?" Arnold replies, knowing that Evan's doing this behind his father and mother's back.

"I can't believe it! You jerk, how could you do this to us, you worthless, two-timin'.....?!" Cindy demanded, upset.

"Cindy, calm down, there's a good reason behind this." Penny then said.

"Yeah. I never wanted to come here, it was an mistake!" protested Sherman. "I was at this yard sale and..."

"Wait a minute, you were at a yard sale?" Helga asked, raising part of her unibrow.

"Well, yes." Sherman said.

"That doesn't make any sense." Gerald then said.

Goten asked, surprised. "I agree with Gerald. You shouldn't be in a yard sale if you have an owner."

"Yeah, it doesn't make any sense." Libby then said.

"I never wanted to be there." protested Sherman. "While I was trying to save a toy from a yard sale, it went wrong and that's how I got stolen!"

"Well, that makes sense." Helga then said.

"Let me asked you something: Trent's the one who damaged you, right?" Wolfgang asked, nodding to the rip in the boy toy's arm.

"No! Well, yes. But it was an accident! He didn't mean to..." Sherman then said, stuttering.

"Oh geez, it seems as if your owner really loves you." Cindy said, angrily and sarcastically. Whatever joy she has for the toy is seemingly gone.

"It's not like that and I am not going to some stupid museum!" Sherman yelled. Why is this girl being difficult?

"Well, I don't want to go to storage!!!" Cindy yelled.

"Willickers! This isn't going well." Stinky then said.

"Yeah, I've seen arguments, but arguments between Cindy and Helga aren't this bad." Carl Lewis then said.

"Zip it, Carl!" Cindy snapped.

Then they heard footsteps it was Evan, everyone went into their cases, and went into toy mode.

Evan then entered the room. His friends were his classmates, their names were Chuck Downfield, Barry DeJay and Vinnie the Gooch.

Evan gets Cindy and the other toys out of the box and puts them in front of replicates of the town as seen on table. The greedy kid smirks as he takes photos of each one in different poses.

Turning to see Sherman still in the glass case, he smirks as he goes over saying, "And now, the star...." 

The plan is simple. Once Evan has taken pictures of all his toys, he will send the photos to Japan. The museum was making a new space and they offered any cash offer to anyone who could fill it. The toy store owner's son has got a deadline to meet.

"Hey, Downfield, do me a favor, help me with this." Evan said. His friend nodded. "Vinnie, get the camera!"

"Alright, got my camera." Vinnie said, getting out a camera. "Remind me, why are you doing this again?"

"I can't pose the characters and take the picture at once, I gotta get the perfect cameraman for this, and that's you guys." Evan said.

As Chuck took Sherman out of his case, he didn't notice that part of the seam holding the toy's arm is caught, being torn up. The boy didn't noticed what happened as he puts him in front of the town replicate. That is until his friend gasps in horror.

"NOOOO! His arm,” Evan screamed as he sees that the toy's arm was ripped off! Oh, he was so careless! He looks around until he finds the arm on the floor. He picks it up and begins to panic. "You idiot!!! Look what you did!"

"Sorry!!" Chuck said, feeling embarrased.

"It's not good enough, Chuck. Don't you get it? The museum owner wants Sherman in the collection and he wants him complete! I can't take a picture of Sherman like this." Evan yelled, He knew he's got to do something but unfortunately, he is no sew person. He knows there's only one person that can help him now.

"Mom! We got a problem!!!" Evan said, panic stricken.

The boys leave the apartment room still talking to his mother, taking the ripped off arm with him. When he's gone, Sherman comes out toy mode. Everyone's first reaction?

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sherman screamed in terror. "It's gone! I can't believe my arm's completely gone!"

Helga also screamed in not only terror, but in disgust. No one wants to see a disembodied arm.

"That is not a pleasant sight." Arnold then said, repulsed.

"Not to mention nightmare fuel." Gerald groaned.

"Let me see." Goten then said. Sherman does so and groans. "Calm down, Sherman. That's just a popped seam. Nothing to get riled up over. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones."

"LUCKY?! ARE YOU SHRINK-WRAPPED?! I AM MISSING MY ARM, YOU IDIOT!!!" Sherman shouted, angrily. He then proceeded to hyperventilate.

"Get a hold of yourself!" Helga shouted, slapping Sherman with his working arm. Sherman calmed down.

"So what?" Cindy angrily said, using a plunger gun to fire at Sherman's cardboard likeness. The girl is obviously still angry at Sherman. Glancing at Sherman. "I'm sure Trent's dying to play with a one armed toy."

"What's your problem? You're happy to see me, and now you're acting like I committed a crime." Sherman said, glaring at Cindy while raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, please, an idiot like you wouldn't understand." Cindy said, upset and angered.

"Now that's enough, Cindy."  Penny then said, comforting Sherman.

"Penny's right. With Sherman having one arm, he wouldn't make it out there in the streets. It is dangerous even for a boy like Sherman. Until Sherman's fixed, He has no other option but to stay here for another night." Goten then said, much to Sherman's dismay.

12AM, near the mall.

A car passes by in the neighborhood. As it does, a certain boy genius toy looks out through some bushes, along with a certain sweater loving toy. Jimmy and Mabel clearly don’t want anyone to spot them, even during nighttime.

Next, the rest of the toys sneaked around carefully, as they did, the burger boy bank trips, causing his cork to fall out and the coins inside him to come out. Dani and Soos nonchalantly walk past the coins.

Gene then covers his hole, snapping, “Alright, nobody look until I get my cork back in!”

“Okay, guys. Good work.” Jimmy then said. “Only a few more blocks to go.”

“For the love of Billingsley, if we keep this up all night, Gumball’s parts and my parts will fall off.” Dani then said, exhausted.

Then, they all heard a noise.

"What the what?" Gumball asked.

“I see that you're near Habitat for Humanity.” A voice was heard.

“Who said that?” Mabel asked.

“I did.” The voice said, he stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself to be a plush toy. He had the look of a 10-year old boy. He had dark brown hair, a pink nose, light skin, glasses, a dark brown jacket, a white T-shirt, dark green pants, and navy blue pants. And one unique feature he had was six fingers. His name was Ford Pines.

“Who are you?” Gene then said.

“The name’s Ford, Ford Pines. I see you’re in trouble.” Ford then said.

“Yeah. After being kidnapped, our friend, Sherman’s in trouble.” Jimmy then said, but he has no idea how in trouble Sherman is with Cindy.

“Well, I hate to see a toy that gets separated from his owner.” Ford said, sympathizing for Sherman’s friends. “I've been donated here since 2001, and I haven't seen my owners. And for someone to suffer that type of fate, I wouldn't want that to happen to another soul.”

“Yeah, that’s great, right after our break.” Gumball said, tired.

“I’m surprised at you guys.” Jimmy then said. “Did Sherman give up when that punk taped me to that fire work and tried to blow me up? Did he give up when you kicked him out of the moving van?”

"Oh, bring that up, why don't you?" Gumball groaned, rolling his eyes once. He felt guilty ever since his and the toys' actions almost made our heroes lost toys.

"Well, he's right." Ford then said, nodding. The last of Star Spangled Banner played as a flag appeared behind him somehow. "We have a friend in need. We’ve got to go and save Sherman. And we will not rest until I see to it that he is back in his owner’s room!" Just then, everyone moves on, but the flag continues to wave.

"So..... are we just going to ignore that?" Mabel asked, confused.

"Could you get the flag out of the shot, I'm a born All-American boy, but I don't wanna get sued!" Ford said, concerned.

That night in Evan's bedroom, the toy collecting boy had the Red Sox game on, but he was falling asleep by the time the 9th inning begun as he held Sherman's arm in his left hand.

Sherman looked around and checked if the coast was clear enough to get out. He needs to get to Trent Cooper's home, but he knows that his friends won't forgive him for running off on them and forcing them back into storage. But he has no other option. But first, he has to get his arm back.

Sherman walked over to the bed, and so far, he was doing well, that is until he hears something.

He turned and is surprised to see Gompers, Helga, Arnold, Gerald, Penny, Mason, and Carl following him.

"What the---?!? Sherman said. "You don't mind going back into storage?"

"Do you really wanna disappoint your kid?" Edmund asked.

"All right, you guys can come but keep quiet." Sherman whispered. They fallow their friend, trying not to make any noises. Upon reaching the bed, Sherman climbs up to Evan's bed and sneaks over to the arm. He reaches for it.

Gompers then smelled something that smelled delicious, it was tempting, he started to lick his fingers, tickling the boy. Helga tapped his tail, as if to tell him to "Shut up" in a polite way.

Sherman sighs, wondering what the kid ate. He reaches for the arm, but only Penny hears a rumbling noise. It's coming from the boy's stomach, she climbed up the bed to warn Sherman, but too late, the toy collecting boy burps, making the toys gag.

"Wow, this kid can eat!" Sherman said, gagging.

"He had pizza for dinner." Penny then said. Everyone looked at her in a confused way. "Harold can smell  foods from a distance."

Sherman then takes the arm back slowly. He smiles as he held the arm in triumph. Well, that's one problem solved.

Suddenly, without warning, a sound of a remote being click is heard and the TV is turned on, Sherman's show starting to play loudly! Evan woke up suddenly knocking Penny and Sherman fall to the floor, forcing them back to toy mode.

Half asleep, the boy woke up fully looking around confused. The TV was turned on without him using the remote or using the buttons. He looks down and sees the kids on the floor. He looks puzzled as he sees the glass cases empty.

He mumbles as he picks up The toys, and puts them back in their cases.

As Evan looks around the room for the remote, Sherman looks puzzled. How did the TV got turned on? Just then, Penny spots something nearby. It's the remote control...and it's near Cindy's case! Suddenly, the toys have a hint on who foiled his escape.

"Where is it? I can't just leave it like this..." Evan then finds the remote and picks it up. "Found it."

With a yawn, Evan turned the TV off. With another yawn, he heads out the door, heading to the bathroom. Sherman looks concerned as the collector is taking the toy's arm with him!

As the door closes, the group frowns at Cindy. That girl has some nerve! They jumped out of their glass cases and stomped towards her.

"Why did you do something like that?" Helga said, angrily.

"What do you mean?!" Cindy said, confused.

"Don't play dumb, you know what you did." Gerald then said.

"Look, being angry about something you don't want to talk about is bad enough, but why did you do that?" Sherman angrily said.

"What?!" Cindy replied, accused. "That's crazy! I didn't turn on the TV!"

"Oh, sure. Blame everybody but yourself! That is so you." Stinky said, rolling his eyes. 

"Maybe the TV got turned on by itself. And maybe, just maybe, the remote sat right in front of you!" Penny angrily said.

"Oh, I suppose you're suggesting that I am liar, is that it?!"

"Well if the boot fits, that proves that you're a walking-one-dimensional-bleach-blonde-valley-girl-stereotype." Sherman said, rolling his eyes.

"What did you say?!" Cindy demanded angrily, taking Sherman's remark as an insult.

"I said that if you really turned on the TV, then you'd be a walking-one-dimensional-bleach-blonde-valley-girl-stereotype." Sherman then said, confused, while raising an eyebrow in confused manner.

"Alright, sheriff." Cindy angrily said, gritting her teeth.

"This can't end well for me." Sherman said, worried and breaking the 4th wall. Gompers then hid in the cookie jar, this is not going to end well.

Soon, Cindy screams as she jumps out of her case and pounced Sherman, beginning a fight with him.

"Tough guy now, huh? Take what you said back now!" Cindy demanded furiously as she hits the boy.

"No! You may be a girl but that doesn't mean you aren't easy to hurt!" Sherman said, angrily, as he fights her.

"Hey knock it off! Cut it out!" yelled Goten from his box. "Enough of this foolishness at once!" The other toys also saw this.

Suddenly the Saiyan boy's box fell from where's he at to where the fight is at, cutting things short. Alarmed, Cindy and Penny help Goten up.

"Are you okay?" Carl Wheezer asked.

"I'm fine, Wheezer." Goten then said.

"You should really consider staying on the table instead of a piece of merchandise." Sheen then said.

Goten sees Sherman upset as he added, "Look, tell you what. When morning comes, the fixer that Evan's mom knew for years will come and fix you up."

"I'm sorry, it's just....." Sherman said.

"Trent, Trent, Trent. That's all that idiot talks about." Cindy angrily said, rolling her eyes.

Sherman looks frustrated. What is the girl's deal?

Arnold and Gerald took the opportunity to sneak into Evan's backpack, much to the confusion of some of the toys.

The football head toy's friends came over and had a look of confusion.

"Arnold, it's nearly 1 in the morning, what do you think you're doing?" Helga asked.

"Me and Gerald are heading to the toy store by sunrise." Arnold replied.

"What? Why?" Helga then said.

"Well, if the guy is owned by a kid, then there's no doubt that he may have friends looking for him." Gerald then said. "And I think we should help him."

"Wait, are you serious?" Sid the snitch then asked.

"He seems to care about his owner, he'll be heartbroken if he doesn't see Sherman again and I say we should help the friends that are looking for him." Arnold then said.

Everyone agreed and proceeded to enter the bag.

"He may have a point." Edmund said, "Who knows what his friends are doing?"


10:00 AM, bushes

While the toys are getting exhausted from no sleep, Jimmy chops some bushes. All are exhausted but are determined to save their friend.

"So you must be the one that glided back to your kid along with Sherman." Ford then said, referring to Jimmy and Sherman flying to pass the moving van to get back to Trent's loving arms.

"How'd you know?" Jimmy said.

"One of the toys saw in a kid's bedroom." Ford then said. "I gotta say, you must've went through an awful lot to get back to Trent.

"You have no idea." Jimmy said, thinking about the adventure to get back to Trent.

Waddles was almost about to fall asleep, he's barely keeping his balance.

"Come on, Waddles, we're almost there." Mabel then said, before the pig toy fell on Dani.

"Mabel, I'm giving you 3 seconds to get Waddles off of me."

“Okay, is everyone here?” Jimmy then said, looking at the map.

“Not all of us.” SpongeBob then said.

“Who’s behind?” Jimmy asked.

“Mine.” SpongeBob replied as his rear end barely keeps up.

Suddenly, everyone lightens up as soon as they saw something that brightens this day, their destination: Worthington’s Toy Stadium!

“Yes!” Soos exclaimed, now recharged to save Sherman.

Suddenly, some cars rushed by on the road, one of them crushed an empty can that flies into the air and landed near the toys.

Then, a few cars rushed by and crushed an empty can that flew to the toys. They don't look thrilled of crossing something where something big can crush them easily.

"Well, that's it, I'm outta here." Gumball then said.

Gumball tries to leave, but Jimmy stops him. “We’ll have to get over there one way or another.”

“We’ll have to cross.” Ford then said, prompting everyone to gasp in terror. 

“No way! You’re not turning me into a flattened pancake, dude!” Soos then said.

“I may not be a smart sponge, but I know what road kill is.” SpongeBob then said.

Just then Jimmy sees something nearby that made him smirk. “I have an idea. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Ford?” Ford nods.

At the traffic lights, the light turns green at one side. Suddenly, a voice yelled, "It's green. Let's go!"

Soon, cones begin to move as if on their own! The toys are actually using them as cover as they get across. Toothless looks nervously while the other toys walk in precaution. Ford and Jimmy were peeking out from their cone to see if anything's coming.

Just then, the light turns red on one side and green on the other. A car is approaching.

"Drop!" yelled Jimmy. The toys quickly dropped the cones. The driver of the approaching yelps as he turns his car. The good news is he missed them.

The bad news is he drives into an entrance that has spikes near it, causing his tires popped and flat. A truck hits the rear, colliding into it.

"Now let's get going!" exclaimed Ford as the toys picked up the cones and go on. Just then more cars begin to approach. "Drop," Most of the toys, except Mabel and Dani, dropped. "I said drop!"

The 2 toys dropped causing the two cars to serve around them. A while later, they crashed resulting in a tire cap to roll pass the cones.

"Go!" The toys continue on their way. Gene in his cone looks though his hiding place isn't making things better. Suddenly, a monster truck passed over him spinning the burger boy bank around. He recovered and frowns before moving on.

"Drop!" ordered Jimmy and Ford once more. The cones and toys dropped causing a car to turn around in alarm. This results in an approaching truck to drop in screech while honking its horn. The truck is carrying a huge tunnel barrel that can flatten anything. It went over them as it continues twirling.

"Go!" Jimmy yelled as the toys continue on their way. As they do, the chains on the barrel breaks off causing the thing to rolled free right at them.

Suddenly, Gumball trips. One of his feet got stuck on some gum on the road. He goes back and feels for his foot. He finds it and begins to pull it out, unaware that the barrel is approaching him very slowly.

Fortunately for Gumball, he got his foot out of the way in the nick of the time, putting it back on, and got out of the barrel's way. The gum that got his foot stuck ended up getting stuck on the passing rolling barrel.

Soon the toys made it on the other side safe and sound. They removed their disguises as Gumball said smiling, "Well, what do you know? That went well."

Ironically, as they continued to Worthington’s Toy Stadium, none of them noticed that traffic behind due to what they caused. The barrel hit the light pole causing it to fell to the ground, destroying its light.

"We should be getting closer to Sherman now. We're almost there!” Jimmy said, grinning. What he doesn't know that he is technically right.

10:05AM, Worthington apartment

A doorbell rang, and Mrs. Worthington arrived at the door. Mrs. Worthington opened the door and saw a well dressed man. He has white hair tied into a ponytail, and a matching goatee. However, he has black eyebrows and a pointed nose. He has midnight blue eyes and his eyes are heavily outlined in black, showing his evil nature. He typically wears a black suit with a red handkerchief in his left breast pocket and a matching red bolo tie. The suit has three rows of white buttons, a total of six. He also wears a white undershirt and black pointed shoes. His name was Vlad Masters.

"Oh, thank goodness. Evan's been freaking out and..." Mrs. Worthington then said, exhausted.

"Say no more. This is going to be more easy than being the dairy king." Vlad then said.

A bit later, Mrs. Worthington puts down a tool kit Vlad has brought along when he does cleaning. The mother opens it to reveal a lot of things used for when cleaning toys. It even has its own barber chair.

Speaking of which, Vlad removes Sherman from the case and puts him in the chair making sure he's in there tight. The cleaner then puts the bib on the toy before raising him.

"Oh, and I forgot to ask you this. How long will this take?" Evan asked, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Kid, you can't rush art." Vlad then said, before flashing his light on Sherman, getting to work on fixing up Sherman.

Meanwhile at the Toy store:

At the toy store, the toys use a cart to hide from people seeing. Jimmy and Ford were pushing the cart. They exited the cart.

"Uh, about that, it's closed, dudes." Soos then said.

"Yeah, we're not preschool toys, Soos." Gumball said, rolling his eyes.

"It's closed, only to the customers, not to the employees, or us toys." Ford then said.

Of course, in order to get in at all, they'll have to get the doors opened, which meant getting on the mat for their presence to be detected.

The toys jumped at same time and soon the doors opened up. They all quickly headed inside as the doors closed once more.

Now that they got in, the next thing to do is to find Sherman. He's got to be in here some more. As they looked around, Toothless stops as he sees something. It's a strategy guide on a rack nearby.

"HEROIC ACADEMY: The Video Game Strategy Guide'." Toothless then said reading the cover. Then, he gasps as he sees some more words near the bottom of the book. It said, 'Having trouble defeating Dark Danny? Find out how inside'! The dragon toy laughed.

Toothless grabs the book with joy. Now he can finally defeat Dark Danny and beat the game! With a grin, he followed his friends as they looked around in amazement.

"Wow. What a big palace." Mabel said, with a grin. This would've been more awesome if it wasn't for the fact that the son of the guy who owns this place kidnapped Sherman.

"So how can we find Sherman?" SpongeBob asked looking around.

"When we find Mr. Worthington's son, we'll find Sherman. Now split up. We will cover more ground." Jimmy then said.

With that, the gang split up as they go look for their toy friend, especially Mabel. Mabel tagged along with Dani and Waddles.

Worthington apartment-

Vlad gets to work on repairing Sherman. He uses the cotton swab and some liquid to shine the boy up, cleaning the boy to the point where he's smooth, especially his shoes.

Next, the Packer fan gets a pump with spray paint, allowing him to cover parts he wasn't spray painting while spraying the face.

Then, he takes some paint and spray paints the cheeks, adding a little blush to Sherman's face, minus the holes. Getting out a magnifier, and took a closer look at the popped seam, and Sherman's arm as well.

Putting the needle carefully through the thread and after making sure it's secure, the man begins to work on the arm. Soon, Sherman's arm was back to normal, fixed as if it wasn't ripped to begin with!

Two more things need to be done before Vlad is done. The man cleans the toy's shoes. Next, he uses a paint brush to get some paint. Then he begins to paint on the bottom of the shoe, the one that had Trent's name written over it.

Vlad smiles as he puts the paint brush away. With the work now done, he takes Sherman and puts him in the case, smiling.

"All right, the dear boy is all set." Vlad said as he closes the case. Turning to the confused, yet impressed mother and the gleefully cheerful son, he added, "Remember, tell your son he's for display only. Don't handle him a lot or he won't stay this way!"

"Awesome! Thank you so much! He looks like brand new!" Evan then said, happily.

For 34 minutes, he then proceeds to take pictures of the toys with his dad's camera. And he smiles, happily. This shows that he can be a hypocrite.

"Son! I'm heading to work!" His father said, notifying the boy.

"Dad, may I come with you?" Evan said, eagerly.

"Uh, I don't know why, but okay." Mr. Worthington said, confused.

"I left something behind during the last time." Evan said, lying. "And also, I love toys." That, and he went for a walk to the toy store with his father's key and placed the Hey Arnold! toys in his father's office.

When the family left the son's room, the toys came back to life. Sherman smiles as he jumped like an acrobat out of his case, the other toys come over and grins at his repaired arm that was fixed. Of course, Cindy frowns crossing her arms.

"Oh, boy! Now I look like I was fresh outta the box! This is great! I feel so..." Sherman said checking out his arm.

"Easy, Barry Dylan. I think you're over-thinking things." Libby said, jokingly.

"I'm sorry, but I feel great! This is something else." Sherman chuckled.

"Great. Now you can go!" Cindy then angrily interrupted. In disgust, Cindy left, jumping off the table as she goes to a window nearby. She is obviously still upset with him. It's one thing to turn your back on a new friend, but blaming her for someone else's doing is low.

"Well, maybe I will." Sherman snapped. He looks at the grate where he plans to escape through then sees Gompers nudging him. He sighs as he said, "What? It's not like I cursed her, although she did seem upset when I brought up Trent."

"Well, you don't know what she's been through, so there's no need to be mad at her." Penny said.

Goten then suggests, "Well, I do agree with Penny."

"Sherman," Carl Wheezer spoke up. "Do you know what Wubba Lubba Dub Dub means?"

"Something she says when she's having a fun time?" Sherman shrugs.

"It's not for partying, at all." Carl Wheezer replied. "I've met a Birdperson Toy at walmart back in November 95'. He told me that it means: "I am in great pain. Please help me."."

"Well, I got news for you, she said it ironically last night." Sherman scoffs.

"No, Cindy is in emotional pain." Libby said, concerned. "That's why she....."

"Come on, Libby." Sherman said. "Cindy's not that complicated! I saw her on my friend's movie and show."

"Tell you what, why don't you spend some time with her make amends with her, after all, you don't wanna hate her forever." Goten sighs, concerned.

Sherman looks at the depressed Cindy by the window. Maybe he should apologize. It's the least he could do. 

He sighs as he said, "Okay, but I don't know what good it will do."

As Carl, Carl Wheezer, Sheen, Libby, Mason and Gompers watch, Sherman heads over to Cindy who is still looking out the window.

"Look, just get outta here." Cindy said, angrily.

"I'm just here to sit here with you." Sherman said, feeling guilty for what happened last night. He's gotta admit, for an angry girl, she sure is pretty adorable. 

However, Sherman had one question on his mind as well, where's Arnold, Gerald and the PS118 toys?

While Sherman was once again fixed, Jimmy was still looking around for Mr. Worthington, but no luck. 

Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching this from the security camera, it was none other than Arnold and his friends.

"Someone go get Ludwig." Helga then said, confused.

He went from aisle to aisle hoping to find his best friend, but then, something stopped him, he looked behind him, what was it that caught his attention? He looked behind him and walks back to the aisle and his jaw drops in amazement.

He saw an aisle of Jimmy Neutron action figures, in their boxes, ready to be sold. Jimmy was in awe of this. He walks in the aisle, impressed about what he saw. But it's not the first time he saw something like this. He saw that commercial about it back in Duncan's home when he learned the hard way about the fact about he was a toy, but after Sherman and a reinvigorated Jimmy reunited with Trent, this felt like a big homecoming to him. Then, he noticed a sign next to the aisle, it said, "Utility Belt Jimmy". Jimmy whistled in awe.

"I could use one of those." Jimmy then said. He then climbed up to one of the gigantic attracting containers and saw a look-a-like of him, only one thing's different, his shirt is white, his atom is navy blue with red in the middle, and his shirt had navy blue lining in his armpits and he had a Silver Jetpack, and his jeans have a dark blue look. The utility belt looked silver and light blue.

"Wow." Jimmy said, surprised. 

In another aisle, Toothless was explaining the strategy guide to everyone. Gumball groans. He has been listening to him ever since he got the strategy guide.

"Yeah, this strategy guide is amazing. It's like the only way you could defeat Dark Danny if you buy this." Toothless said with a smile. Refusing to listen to anymore of this, Gumball decides to remove his ears.

Then, the toys jumped out of the way as something nearly knocked them down by accident. Turns out it's just a toy car with Gene at the wheel and SpongeBob in the back seat.

"Hey, check it out, guys! We can search like Archer and Cyrill!" Gene said, grinning.

"Bada Bing, Bada Boom!" Spongebob said, a la Robert DeNiro.

Gumball rolled his eyes and got in. "Get outta the way, I'm driving!" Gumball snapped. As he and Toothless got in, Gumball pushed the Burger bank into the next seat.

Gumball begins to drive, only to bump into a lot of boxes doing so. He groans in anger. But what can we expect from a terrible driver? The toys continued on their way as they looked for their friend, while dodging the mess Gumball made.


Back in the display in the Jimmy Neutron aisle, Jimmy looked at the Utility Belt version of himself.

"Is my head really that big??" Jimmy then said, confused. He notices that this version of Jimmy's utility belt, confused and intrigued. He decides to hold it to check it out.

But as Jimmy reaches for it, his double came to life and grabbed him by the arm, and put him in a restrained position.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Jimmy demanded. 

Utility Belt Jimmy then sternly said,"You're in violation of code-6484.5! Stating that all CIA apprentices must remain in hyper sleep until being awoken by authorized personnel."

"Oh, no." Jimmy groaned, realizing that his double is behaving the way Jimmy used to. Thinking that he's a CIA apprentice. The same behavior that almost got him and Sherman destroyed or worse, the same behavior that almost made them lost toys. Now he's experiencing it all over again, except this time he is on the receiving end!

"Don't you know you are breaking ranks, Agent?" UB Jimmy snapped as he shoves the original to the plastic wall. Then, he takes out his "communicator".

"Jimmy Neutron to CIA," Utility belt Jimmy said to his wrist watch, "I found an AWOL CIA apprentice!"

"Please tell me I wasn't this deluded." Jimmy said, annoyed and embarrassed.

"Zip it, I have a laser and I'm not afraid to use it." Utility belt Jimmy snapped.

"What? That little light bulb that blinks?" Jimmy then said, pressing the button, causing Utility Belt Jimmy to gasp in shock as he jumped on a fake moon.

"Are you crazy?! You almost got us killed, CIA apprentice, or should I say, Traitor!" Utility belt Jimmy then said, angrily aiming his "laser" at Jimmy.

"I don't have time for this." Jimmy said, embarrassed and annoyed by this. He then left.

Jimmy jumped to the ground and prepares to leave the aisle and get away from this deluded action figure. However, the Utility Belt version jumps down and attacked him. The two Boy Genius toys fight but the Utility belt version has the upper hand. He grabs the original as he begins to shove him towards a pin screen.

"HEY! LEAPIN' ELECTRONS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!" Jimmy then said as his body is thrown to the pin screen.

Meanwhile, Gumball and Group 2 kept looking around. They have no idea where they're at, and they haven't found their 2 best friends.

"Where are we?" Toothless asked, puzzled. "Are you sure you know where we're going?

“Yeah, I think that we’ve been down this aisle already.” SpongeBob then said.

"It's pink! We’ve never been down this aisle, SpongeBob. Maybe I should've gotten Patrick to come along." Gumball replied with a frown. He has memorized every aisle and he's sure they haven't gone down this way.

"I think we’re lost." SpongeBob said, concerned.

Suddenly, some laughing and cheering catches Gene’s ears. Where is it coming from.

"Ooh! Back it up, back it up!" Gene then said.

The car backed up as they see who was laughing and cheering. It looks like a bunch of blonde 12 year old females having fun. They all had long blonde hair with bell-shaped bangs and usually wears a purple jacket with a short lavender dress, along with a periwinkle belt. They also wore black leggings with cream colored boots. They all wore heavy purple eye shadow and lavender hoop earrings. They also had dark blue eyes. They were Pacifica Northwest dolls. They all sounded like beautiful blondes.

"What a great party." A Pacifica doll giggled. The boys' jaw dropped in amazement. These girls looked beautiful!

"Helloooooooooooooooooo Nurse!" The boys happily said.

Some of them did a limbo as they said, "How low can you go? How low can you go?"

Gene smirks. Maybe one of these ladies can help. Well, time for him to put on the charm. That should work.

"Hey, any of you gals can help us where to find the son of the owner of this place?" Gene asked, smoothly. 

"I think I can help!" A girl called on a slide. This Pacifica doll wears a purple t-shirt (with her monogram stitched in pink on the right side of her chest), a white skirt, a white glove on her right hand, a purple wristband on her left arm, pink socks with purple diamond patterns, diamond earrings, and white golfing shoes.

The girl slides down the slide and into the air and landed in the car. She looks at the toys as she said, "My name is Tour Guide Pacifica Northwest! Keep your hands, arms, and everything else in the vehicle at all times. And no flash photography. Thank you!"

Gumball grins lovingly at Pacifica.. However, he doesn't want to be achieve a reputation of being a rubbernecker, so, he closes his eyes as he mumbles, "I'm a married cat, I'm a married cat, I'm a married cat..."

"Then make room for the single men!!" Gene then said, laughing, as he moves the Gumball aside so he could sit next to Pacifica.

The girl and the toys drive off leaving the aisle. Gumball tried to keep himself under control as Pacifica begins the tour.

"To our right is the Hot Wheels aisle. The original series had 16 cars, including the Corvette when it was developed in 1966." Pacifica explained, smiling.

"Hey, any chance we can get to Mr. Worthington's office?" SpongeBob asked hopefully. Their friend Sherman could be in there!

"Once the tour is over, questions will be answered."

Toothless spots something in the strategy guide that made him laugh happily.

"I found it, check it out! I found out how to defeat Dark Danny! Look!" Toothless said as he shows the book to everyone. Unfortunately, Pacifica can't see where she was going, this causes the car to swirl around.

Gumball pushed the book aside, but now the toys in the car see that they are about to collide into a giant box filled with bouncy balls!

"Look out!" SpongeBob yelled in alarm.

"Stop!" screamed the Burger bank.

Pacifica turned the car, but that didn't matter, because the car ended up hitting the bottom of the box anyway. The toys looked up and yelped as bouncy balls come out of the hold in the box right at them. They yelped as they get away while avoiding the bouncy balls. Soon, they ended up spinning out of control.

Just then, the strategy guide flies out of Toothless' hands making him yell, "Noooo! My secret weapon!!"

The dragon toy jumped out of the car and ran after the book. But unfortunately, he couldn't catch it in time as it went under the shelf, out of sight.

He then sees the car is moving away, making him yelp as he chases after it.

Gumball looks in the mirror and sees a close up view of Toothless chasing them like in Jurassic Park.

Soon the car stopped. However it ended up with Toothless slamming into it and falling right into the car, hitting himself on the head, as Pacifica rolled her eyes as she continued to drive.

Mabel, Waddles and Dani were looking around, with Ford catching up.

Mabel was clearly concerned, for Sherman in particular. She was panicking, breathing heavily. Then, a small piece of paper fell from Waddles' back.

"What the-?" Dani then said, she then grabbed it and it had a drawing of a love heart with the words "ShermanxMabel 4ever". "You love Sherman?"

"What?! Yeah, right! I just think Sherman's a sweet guy, okay? It's not like I lie awake at night thinking about him!" Mabel then said, nervously. Dani raised an eyebrow. Then Mabel had a sad look.

"Alright, you would understand, but Sherman isn't like other boys. He's actually a sweet guy." Mabel then said. "Jimmy's lucky to have a friend like him. You never forget a guy like Sherman, because he's like one of the rarest, nicest guys I've ever met."

"Mabel, I didn't know." Dani then said.

"Let's go find him." Ford then said, after overhearing this. "I know how much Sherman means to you. And I can understand how you felt before I became a lost toy."

"Thank you. I really appreciate the comfort." Mabel then said.

"Mabel, I've been alone for months, and I don't want you to suffer the same fate as I did. And don't worry, Mabel. Sherman will be found. and we have the best guy for the job." Ford then said.

Back in the Jimmy Neutron aisle, Jimmy yelps as he is tied down to a cardboard by the Utility Belt version of himself.

"Let me go! This is a mistake! You are not a CIA Apprentice! A toy! You are a toy! Don't you get it?" Jimmy angrily yells as he gets shoved into an empty Jimmy toy box and it closed in. How ironic.

UB Jimmy ignores the original as he said. "Tell that to the CIA."

"Let me go! You don't understand!"

The UB version places him on the shelf with the other Jimmy Neutron action figures. He then leaves, all set to find Dark Danny.

The car arrived in the aisle while Pacifica Northwest continued her tour, "We are now in the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius aisle. Some retailers could not order enough toys to meet demands in late November 2001."

The toys looked up as they see a familiar figure in front of them. Gene smiles as he said, "Hey, look! Jimmy!"

It is Jimmy, but what they don't know is that it is actually the Utility belt version. He sees the toys and gets his "laser" out preparing to fight.

It's technically Jimmy, but it's the Utility Belt Version. He sees the toys and gets ready and aims his laser at them, preparing to fight them.

"Halt! Who are you?!" UB Jimmy demanded, suspiciously. He feels as if these newcomers are working for Dark Danny.

"Put the laser down and get in the car." Gumball said, rolling his eyes.

"I got good news, I found a way to defeat Dark Danny once and for all, Jimmy!" Toothless excitedly said.

"Really? You do?" UB Jimmy said, surprised and impressed as he places the laser away.

"Come in. I can tell you on the way."

The original Jimmy, the real one, looks shocked as his UB version get into the cars. The toys do not realize that they are picking up the wrong one.

"Wait up! You got the wrong guy! I'm over here!!" Jimmy said, alarmed.

Of course, none of the toys could hear their real friend. They are too busy to look at the other Jimmy toys on display.

Gene then notices the Utility Belt as he said, "Wow, that's new. When did you get the cool shiny belt?"

UB Jimmy chuckled as he said, "Well, although I got this from the very start, Burger boy, after all, they do come standard."

As the car drives away, the original Jimmy looks helplessly horrified.

Jimmy angrily yells as he shakes his box helplessly among the other Jimmy toys on display.

Meanwhile at the apartment, Cindy was sitting nearby a window sill, sitting, holding on to her legs, sadly looking out the window. Sherman looked out the window as well.

"Beautiful morning, isn't it?" Sherman said.

"It's the last one before I head back into storage, might as well enjoy it while I can." Cindy then said.

The boy toy sighed in grief. It hurts to see Vortex upset like this.

"Listen, Cindy. I have no other option. I know you're really in great pain, and you need help, but you also you have to understand that Trent still needs me, I mean if you saw him, maybe you'd understand how I felt." Sherman said.

"Let me guess. Trent Cooper's a sweet kid?" Cindy snapped as she stood up, angrily, catching Sherman by surprise. "To him, you're his best friend, his buddy, And when he plays with you............" Cindy's look goes from enraged to remorseful as she speaks in a tone of regret as she sadly said, "...........even though you can't move, you feel alive because that's how he sees you." Cindy goes back to looking at the skies, bowing her head.

Sherman was surprised, Cindy Vortex couldn't possibly know how it feels to be played with, unless.....

"Well, how did you know that?" Sherman asked.

"Because, a little girl was just the same." Cindy said, without a Brooklyn accent. "Josee was my whole world."

Sherman was surprised by this, he hasn't heard about Josee's life other than Ice Skating with Jacques. Trent's cousin, Josee, used to be a Nicktoons' Roundup fan?

Flashback:

It was a beautiful morning in a beautiful home in a beautiful girl's bedroom. Cindy lied there, smiling and she was picked up by a young brunette girl with pigtails and a purple shirt and a white skirt.

Singer: When Somebody Loved Me.....
Everything was beautiful

Cindy was played with as the girl controls her and acts like the toy was riding a pony.

Every hour we spent together,
Lives within my heart....

One night, the girl played with Cindy in a makeshift tent. And one summer morning in 1994, the girl's family went on a picnic to the park.

And when she was sad,
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I

In the car, while the girl slept, Cindy came to life and smiles. She was comforted by the one who she cared so deeply for her, hugging her forearm.

When she loved me

That day was the happiest day of Cindy Vortex's toy life, they played together, swung on a swing set, even jumped into a pile of leaves.

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together,
Like it was meant to be

For a while there, it seems as if Cindy would be with her forever.

And when she was lonely,
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

Sadly, it was not meant to be. As time goes by and Josee grows up, she ends up making some new friends.
One day, a friend takes the pillow and Cindy fell underneath the bed.

Cindy came to life and looked up and noticed that the girl was playing with her new friends such as doing nails. And she's giggling. Cindy, on the other hand, felt heartbroken, she seems to be forgotten. In a manner of heartbreak, Cindy lies down as she felt forgotten.

And it is the case. As time goes by some more, her ponies are replaced with make up while the posters have since been replaced by pictures of popular male ice skaters and ice dancers.

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone

Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you

More and more stuff rolled by under the bed, Cindy doesn't bother to notice, heartbroken over the fact that the one she cared about forgotten her.

Then one day, the girl dropped her purse causing some stuff to roll under the bed. Cindy sees it as her chance to regain her owner's attention.

Lonely and forgotten,
I'd never thought she'd look my way

The girl's now 16 years old, she's wearing a pink buttoned shirt and dungerie jeans, she gets her stuff that fell under the bed. The girl then felt something and takes it out. She finds Cindy who went back in toy mode. 

And she smiled at me and held me just like she used to do

Josee forgot about this toy. She looks at her and for a while, it seems things will be all right after all.

Later that day, Josee and Cindy rode in the van, heading somewhere. Cindy secretly smiled at her owner. Seems as if everything will be back to the way they were meant to be. I guess Josee remembered her after all these years.

Like she loved me
When she loved me

The van arrived at where Josee used to play with Cindy, the toy wondered what her owner has in store for today with her?

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart

Suddenly, Cindy was placed in a box with old items. Josee heads back to her van and drives away. In the box, Cindy went out of toy mode and had a shocked look on her face as she looked through the hole. She can’t believe it. Her owner, the girl she cared for abandoned her. Cindy continues to look sadly as she sat in the box near the donation van.

When She Loved Me.......


Back at the apartment, Sherman was in heartbroken shock after hearing Cindy's past life. She used to have an owner and her kid has abandoned her. And years in storage without someone to love and play with her didn't do any good either. And when Cindy revealed her memorable times with Josee and how Josee inevitably dumped her regardless, Sherman started to understand. Kids do grow up and Sherman could almost foresee his future in Cindy’s current predicament.

"I...." Sherman said, speechlessly sad.

"Even though countless toys never forget kids like Josee or Trent, in the end........they forget you." Cindy sadly whispered. "Pretty crazy, huh?"

"Cindy........." Sherman said, sadly shocked. "I had no idea."

"Just go. That's what you wanted, right?" Cindy said, sadly and quietly. 

"Cindy, please......." Sherman sighs, hoping to comfort the depressed Cindy doll.

"Sherman, you've made it clear you don't want to be here, I won't force you to do something you don't want to do," Cindy said, quietly and tearfully.

Sherman was about ready to leave, he opened the Grate door, but when he opened the grate, all he did was stare at the dark vent. He felt guilty about leaving behind his new friends such as Penny, Cindy, Libby, Carl, Sheen, Arnold, and Gerald especially if he found out about Cindy's life before she was in storage. But he has to go back home to his old friends and be there for Trent.

"You're going back aren't you? I suppose I can't stop you." Goten asked. "But consider this: You can't possibly think that things last forever. Do you really think Trent's going to stay 10 years old when he goes to college, or on his honeymoon, or let alone Total Drama Island?"

Sherman started to look concerned as he didn't respond to the answer. Trent's going to stop playing with his toys one day, and will he be ready for it?

"Face it. Cindy had to learn this the hard way, Kids outgrow toys. Trent's growing up, and there's nothing you can do about it." Goten then said.

Sherman sighed in grief and hung his head in sadness. He then looked at the tunnel and thought for a second. Sherman doesn't want to be abandoned and alone. Yet, he doesn't want to be away from his friends and Mabel, but he knows that Trent will outgrow him one day.

"It's your choice, Sherman. You can go back. Or you can stay with us, and you wouldn't have to worry about being abandoned ever again. You'll last forever. You'll be adored by kids for millenniums to come." Goten then said.

Sherman knew that if he leaves, his new friends will be in storage for the remainder of time as we know it. Should Sherman go back home to where he's loved but face abandonment by the boy who Sherman deeply cares for, or should he go to the museum and never see his friends again? But then again, he knew that Toys don't last forever, but museum pieces do. He then sees Gompers looking at him sadly.

"Who am I..." Sherman said, smiling. "To break up the Roundup Gang?"

Sherman has made his decision, he closed the grate door. He's going to stay. He doesn't want his friends in storage.

Cindy and Penny heard that, and they smiled at the fact that Sherman's going to stay. Everything's going to be okay, at least that's what Cindy thought. Penny started to have an unsure look on her face. Sure, Trent's going to be a grown-up, but that's not for a while. Did Sherman make the right choice? Or did he do something stupid? 


Author's Note:

Well, Sherman's going to stay for the sake of his friends, but how will Jimmy and the others react to this?

Jimmy: It won't be pleasant. (Glares at Sherman)

Sherman: Jimmy........

Me: Guys, calm it. Next act, Sherman prepares to go to the museum, and Jimmy tries to convince him to come home, and even if he doesn't and Sherman figures it out for himself, a certain Saiyan has other plans....

As Sherman enjoys being part of a popular acclaimed show, Sherman discovers that the Roundup Gang is about to be sold to a museum in Japan. Sherman brings up that he has an owner, which causes Cindy to have PTSD flashbacks of being in storage from 1999 to 2003, a dark place that she has no intention of wanting to go back to. Jimmy and Trent's toys meet a Ford Pines plushie at Habitat for Humanity, who offers to help with the journey, but it would seem that Sherman's having second thoughts about returning home after he learns something tragic that happened to one of the Nicktoons's Roundup Toys.
