Gimmick, how come you thought it was such a great idea

-to visit the Great Desert in the summertime? -Hmm.

Well, Grubby, you must admit

there are some beautiful rock formations here.

Yeah, but I'd bet they'd be just as beautiful in the winter.

Hmm. You're probably right.

Say, Gimmick, aren't we near the Mushroom Forest?

Why, yes, I believe we are.

-And isn't the Mushroom Forest... -Huh?

...damp, dark, and cool all year round?

Yes, it is.

Say, I have an idea.

Why don't we visit the, eh, Mushroom Forest?

It's damp, dark, and cool all year round.

I wonder why we didn't think of that.

[Teddy chuckles]

Well, Quellor,

I told you those crystals

Tweeg gave us were fakes.

You said maybe they were fakes.

Yes, but I was sure

that maybe they were fakes.

Meanwhile, the Illiop Ruxpin has the real crystals.

In his hands, they could destroy

the Monsters and Villains Organization.

Quellor, we Gutangs would be happy

to bring you the Illiop and the crystals.

For a small fee, of course.

Aren't you Gutangs ever evil just for the fun of it?

Yes, but that costs extra.

Okay, Ambassador, we'll pay your fee.

Send a squadron of Gutangs

to seize the Illiop and bring him to us.

[Gutangs cheering]

Right away, Quellor. I'll bid you.

Quellor: Bognostroclum.

At your service, Great and Horrendous One.

Bring us the one responsible for this whole mess.

With pleasure.

[squeaking]

Oh, thank goodness you're here.

There's been a terrible mistake.

Let me out.

Rise and shine, you slugs.

Quellor wants to see you.

Oh, it's about time. A guy could rot in this dungeon.

That's the general idea.

Follow me, and no talking in the corridors.

Ah, you'll pay for this, Buggle--

Stog-- Boss-- Noga--

Stagglebocklecom--

That's Bognostroclum.

Ah! Whatever! You'll pay for this.

Just as soon as I've explained everything to Quellor,

and he makes me Assistant Supreme Oppressor.

How do you put up with this guy?

It ain't easy. Let me tell you.

So, Tweeg,

how are you finding your new accommodations?

The dampness is terrible. [cringes]

And the insects, they're as big as Bounders.

Hey, I resent that remark.

[growls]

There's been a terrible mistake, I tell ya.

Has there? And what might that be?

Uh, uh...

-It was L.B. who planned the attack on your headquarters. -Huh?

There's your traitor, Quellor!

We've had enough of your foolish pranks, Tweeg.

You might as well get used to the dungeon.

It'll be your home for a long, long time.

Take them away, Bognostroclum.

And make sure they work hard.

As you command, Your Vileness.

Move it, you two!

Grubby: It's nice and cool here.

Hey, fellas, I feel a lot better already.

So do I.

-Ow! -Whoops! Oof!

Eh...

Most interesting.

What is it, Gimmick?

Wasn't this a rock a moment ago?

Gee, I don't know. It looks like a bush to me.

Well, yes, it is, but it wasn't.

That is to say, most peculiar.

-Maybe the heat's getting to him. -I wonder.

Wow. These big mushrooms would make great chairs.

Ouch!

Hey! My chair's walking away.

What we are witnessing here

is scientifically impossible.

Grubby: So how come it's happening?

Eh, well...

possibly it has to do with sunspots.

Well, why you figure it out,

I'm gonna get my chair back.

You must capture that Illiop and his friends

and deliver them to Quellor!

Pilots, to your flying machines!

[whimpering]

Excuse me, Mr. or Mrs. Mushroom?

My word.

This little creature is so frightened

it can hardly speak.

Don't be afraid.

We won't hurt you.

Yeah. I'm real sorry I sat on you.

Who are you?

I-I-I-I'm nothing.

-Nothing at all. -Gimmick: Nonsense.

You're obviously a member of the fungus bisporus family.

In other words, you're a mushroom.

I-I told you. I'm nothing.

Now leave me alone.

What's your name, Mr. Nothing?

Th-Th-This.

-Huh? -I think he means "This" is his name.

And that he's called a "Nothing."

Isn't that right?

Y-- Yeah.

We're Nothings because we don't have any shape of our own.

It comes in handy when we want to hide, and we usually do.

Where are the other Nothings?

Oh, they're around,

but they're hiding.

They're just too sh-- shy to come out.

All: Huh?

Well, I can certainly see

that the Mushroom Forest

would make an ideal home

for such bashful creatures.

I wonder if there are any more of these Nothing guys around here.

-Hey! -[giggles]

[smooches, shouts]

Oh! [laughs]

That tickles.

[chuckles] This is wonderful.

You know something, Teddy?

I get the feeling we've been surrounded

by these Nothing fellas all along.

Hello, Nothings.

It's very nice to meet you.

[all stammering] Likewise, we think.

[chuckles]

[stammering] Hello.

My name is That.

[stammering] I'm The Other.

The Other what?

The Other Nothing. That's what.

This sure is confusing.

[Nothings giggling]

Would you people like to play a game with us?

Sure. That sounds like fun.

Oh, boy. I love playing games.

Indeed. They're most enjoyable. [chuckles]

Nothings: Hooray!

Good.

It's the very favorite game of the Nothings.

We call it hide-and-seek.

Oh.

Down there!

Search the place.

What's this?

Hmm. I think Quellor will be interested in these.

Very interested.

This is fun. Hey, fellas.

How about turning yourself into something to eat?

I'm getting kind of hungry.

-Grubby! -Just kidding. [laughs]

Do you always live here in the Mushroom Forest?

Yes.

It's lots easier to hide here where it's dark.

Besides, mushrooms are easy to imitate.

My, Teddy, these fungus fellows are truly amazing.

I agree, Gimmick.

But I don't think you should call yourselves Nothings anymore.

We shouldn't? What should we call us?

Well, since you can become anything you want,

I think you should call yourselves "Anythings."

Gee, with good friends like you,

I don't feel like a Nothing anymore.

I like our new name.

We're Anythings!

[cheering]

-We can do anything! -Yes, we can.

Hooray!

Ambassador on radio: We'll fly westward towards the woods...

According to our spy,

the Illiop and his friends sometimes go there.

Commander, look below!

[jabbers]

Gutangs!

It's the guy who smashed up all our best planes

at the Hard to Find City!

Ooh! I wonder what those fellers are doing here.

[jabbers] I'd better tell Teddy, Grubby, and Gimmick.

Although the Hard to Find City is ancient,

the architecture--

Oh, dear! Gutang flying machines!

How dare you interrupt my lessons!

Where's that Illiop Teddy Ruxpin?

I don't know.

And if I did, I certainly wouldn't tell you.

Don't worry.

We'll find him without your help.

And don't bother coming back, you ill-mannered ruffian.

Why are they so mean, Miss Leota?

It's hard to explain, Seymour.

There are some very unpleasant creatures in this world.

And the Gutangs make up most of them.

Tweeg: Imagine an evil genius like me having to scrub floors!

It's not fair, I tell ya!

Quiet! Quit yapping and keep on mopping!

Who let you in here?

State your business, or else!

We demand to see Quellor.

Is that so?

Well, nobody sees Quellor without my permission.

And I don't feel like giving it today, so there!

I like this guy's style.

We have something of great value

which we stole from the Illiop's house.

Hmm?

Big deal.

Who said you could take a break?

Back to work!

All right, follow me. Hup, two, three, four.

Hup, two, three, four. Hup, two, three, four.

Did you hear that, L.B.?

Hear what? [grunts]

No wonder your head is shaped like a dunce cap.

Those Gutangs said they stole something valuable

from Gimmick's house.

It must be valuable seeing as you already stolen all the worthless junk.

-[laughs] -Very funny, L.B.

Hmm. I just wonder...

[Bognostroclum clears throat] Your Supreme Evilness.

What is it, Bognostroclum?

These Gutangs claim to have stolen

something of great value from the Illiop's house.

Hmm.

Exactly what have you stolen?

These, Quellor.

The plans for the Illiop's airship.

Quickly! Let me see them.

In due time, Quellor.

But first there is the matter of payment.

But you've still not brought me the Illiop Ruxpin

and his friends.

Ah, they will be found.

In the meantime,

surely these plans are worth something.

Shall we say four million pieces of copper?

What?! Completely out of the question.

Nevertheless, that is our price.

I'm sure our own builders

could make excellent use of these plans.

Very well.

Four million pieces of copper.

Bognostroclum, see to it that they are paid.

Right away, Sire of Evil.

Hmm.

All right, you've had your say.

Now get out!

Quellor: Four million pieces of copper.

A small sum to pay.

With these plans, we could build an invincible airship of our own.

Then we'll destroy that Illiop along with the Gutangs.

[laughing]

Well, boys, we really should be getting back to the airship.

I guess you're right, Gimmick.

Well, we're sorry, but we have to go now.

Yeah, you fellas sure are fun to play with.

Why thank you. So are you.

[whispering]

That's a wonderful idea.

Teddy, before you go,

we'd like to make you, Grubby, and Gimmick

honorary Anythings.

Us?

But we can't turn into mushrooms and stuff like you can.

That's true, but you can be anything you want.

-He's right, Grubby. -Hmm.

Gimmick: Absolutely correct.

All it takes is a little imagination.

This: Yes, and we learned to be

two things we never were before.

We learned to be brave.

And we learned to be friends.

-Yeah, that's right. -We did.

Yippee!
