(Fun Fact: The title of this chapter is a reference to "Little Shop of Horrors".)

Meanwhile, Gobba was on a boat and scooping some salt water from the sea into his mouth, while Sam and Max were fighting off a giant octopus.

"Uh, Gobba? Are you gonna help or what?" Max called out to Gobba.

"No worries, just getting a drink from this giant river!" Gobba shouted back.

But then the boat that Gobba was on started to slightly glitch, and then it started up on its own. Gobba walked to the control panel in curiosity, but there were so many buttons and small levers that he couldn't figure out which one was the on or off button. Suddenly, the boat glitched once again, and then the screen started flashing neon colors, and then the boat went forward to head for the octopus, causing Gobba to fall onto the floor of the boat. Before the boat could even touch the octopus, however, it glitched and then Gobba and the boat suddenly teleported in the middle of Lalaloopsyland, and then the boat turned itself off, only for it to leak The Darkness and grow legs made of The Darkness on its sides.

Gobba yelped and ran to the back of the boat in which he jumped off, but then the back legs of the corrupted boat grew arms and grabbed Gobba. Gobba chomped the glitchy arms off of him and spat out The Darkness from his mouth, running towards a pastel-colored bakery shop (with its windows and its doors boarded up) afterwards. Cut to the inside of the bakery where we see Crumbs Sugar Cookie sitting against the door, a worried look on her face and a rolling pin in her hand. Suddenly, Gobba chomped a whole into the wall between the boarded up window and the door, and ran inside, and then he grabbed Crumbs and ran behind the counter where he decided to hide.

Gobba panted in fear, and then Crumbs looked at Gobba in confusion.

"Who are yo-" Gobba suddenly shushed Crumbs.

"One, I'm eating. Two, The Darkness is out there!" Whispered Gobba.

"..Are you afraid of the dark?" Assumed Crumbs.

"No! That glitchy slime is called 'The Darkness'!" Gobba told Crumbs in a whispering tone.

Gobba looked on top of the counter and grabbed a pastel yellow cutting board to push against the hole in the wall he made.

"So, who are you?" Crumbs asked Gobba.

"It's Gobba, but I don't have time for introductions. You got any tape somewhere?" Said Gobba.

Crumbs looked around, and shrugged. Suddenly, there were two hard knocks on the door, and when Gobba peeked through the cutting board, he saw Corrupted James (from Oddballs) and Corrupted Pink Panther banging on the door. Gobba gasped and then went back to pushing the cutting board against the hole in the wall.

"..Uh.. I have some frosting, is that gonna work?" Asked Crumbs

"Yeah! Anything that sticks nicely!" Exclaimed Gobba.

Crumbs grabbed a bottle of frosting from a drawer in the counter and ran over to Gobba to give it to him. Gobba squeezed a lot of frosting onto the cutting board and stuck it onto the window with its handle on the door.

"..So.. what now?" Asked Gobba as he turned towards Crumbs.

"..I hope you can make yourself comfortable, because we're gonna be here for a long time."

Said Crumbs.

Immediately after what Crumbs had just said, James' head burst through the door, causing Crumbs to yelp. Gobba ran to the door and head-butted James' head back outside.

"Fair enough!" Exclaimed Gobba.

Suddenly, more banging was heard, but at a different door in front of the counter.

"Nobody attacks Crumbs, no one!" Shouted a muffled, Scottish voice from the door.

Gobba and Crumbs walked towards the door, with Gobba curious while Crumbs neutral.

"Do you know the guy in that closet?" Asked Gobba.

"Yeah, his name's N, but he's in here because he doesn't wanna deal with the glitchy stuff." Explained Crumbs.

"But everything's boarded up, so now he's kinda being.. paranoid."

"No, I am not paranoid!" Complained N.

"It's alright, N! Everything's boarded up! I promise!" Assured Crumbs.

"Do you? Do you really nonchalantly promise no slime will null me out?" Questioned N.

N peeked through the closet, only to find that all of the windows and the doors were boarded up. He then opened the door widely, but he was disappointed at the sight of Gobba.

"You nonchalantly brought in a stranger? What if he's secretly not friendly?" Complained N.

"Hey, I had to escape from The Darkness here, buddy." Gobba told N.

"Besides, I had no other choice now that I'm here."

*Commercial Break*

Cut back to the octopus, Sam, and Max in the middle of an ocean. The octopus started giving Sam a pink belly, which enraged Sam into beating the octopus up and pulling himself and it into a violence ball, but then Max started to notice something amiss.

"Wait a minute, WHERE THE HECK IS GOBBA!?" Shouted Max.

A few seconds later, Sam had tied the octopus' tentacles into a knot, and then Max climbed out of the tentacles and stood next to Sam, a clearly annoyed look on the rabbit's face.

"Did Gobba seriously bail on us, Max? I mean- Sam?" Questioned Max.

"Max, we just met him. Why would he leave us alone so quickly and on our boat just like that?" Replied Sam.

Sam and Max looked at the spot where the boot used to be, but then the duo remembered that Gobba was on the boat earlier, leading them to believe that Gobba escaped the battle using their boat (with Gobba doing so in curiosity in Sam's thought bubble while Gobba did so with an evil look in Max's thought bubble.).

"Oh no, we shouldn't have let him on the boat!" Worried Sam.

"I know, he absolutely stole our ride!" Complained Max.

"No, I meant that he probably didn't know about how our boat worked!" Sam told Max.

"He must've gotten so confused with the boat, and now he's in the middle of nowhere without any help!"

Cut to a close-up of Max's face, with Max looking absolutely bored and disappointed.

"You know what? My theory or your theory, I know we're gonna start looking for Gobba either way." Noted Max.

Sam chuckled and then said that Max cracks him up. Cut to a close-up of T-Midi on his couch, sipping his coffee.

"So, let me get this straight. Your species are known as 'Mixels', and you are escaping from this.. glitchy goop known as 'The Darkness', and you need my help with your escape?" Questioned T-Midi.

Cut to a medium shot of T-Midi, Footi, Scorpi, and Torts sitting on couches.

"..Yeah, that's exactly right!" Exclaimed Torts.

T-Midi paused before eating his jelly-spreaded toast.

"And all three of you glitched into this universe somehow and ended up falling into the Breadwinners' van's trunk?" Asked T-Midi.

Scorpi nodded, and then Torts happily agreed to T-Midi's second question. T-Midi faced-palmed himself in confusion mixed with disappointment and concern.

"Sheesh-a-roo-roo." Muttered T-Midi.

"And I thought the Breadwinners were crazy."

T-Midi got off of his couch and looked out the window.

"You may not be in your world anymore, but I assume you'll have to stay here for now." Assured T-Midi.

"..Like a sleepover?" Assumed Footi.

"What the? No." Said T-Midi.

"Ooh, a sleepover? I love those!" Exclaimed Torts.

Cut to the Background Glowkies in space while flying in circles in a panic, since they were very worried about what had happened to the Main Glowkies. Not to mention that they were worried about it happening to themselves as well. However, little did they know, that The Darkness was tearing through the bag of the Hideous Vaccum of Space. The sound of the tear was all it took to make the Background Glowkies hold still and go silent.

"...Mommy." Muttered a cycloptic Glowkie.

The Corrupted Vaccum later started revving up as if it was a lawnmower, and then it had turned itself on and flew towards the Background Glowkies. The Background Glowkies flew away from the vaccum as fast as they could go, but the closer the Corrupted Vaccum got to the Glowkies, the more Glowkies that got sucked up.

"COME ON, FASTER!" Shouted a two-eyed Glowkie.

"WE'RE TRYING TO GO FAST, DUDE!" Another two-eyed Glowkie yelled back in annoyance.

As the Glowkies got closer and closer to Planet Mixel, their hope in finding somewhere to stay (since Mixel Moon was destroyed) had increased by the second. When the Background Glowkies had finally reached the Magma Wastelands, they hurriedly scrambled to find a home or somewhere to hide away from the Corrupted Vaccum. However, the Corrupted Vaccum was right on their tail and they had sucked up most of the Glowkies, but only five of them managed to survive because they had left the Magma Wastelands and scattered to different tribelands.

*Commercial Break*

Cut to above the Cragster Mines, and then the camera pans down where we see a three-eyed Glowkie bat hiding behind a boulder home, shivering in fear of the Corrupted Vaccum.

"ROCKBALL!" Shouted a gruff voice from a distance.

A thud was then heard after the voice, so the three-eyed Glowkie slowly peeked though the boulder home, only to find that the main three Cragsters were playing a game of Rockball with the Series 1 Infernites watching the game while sitting on a stone bench.

"Rockball!" Cheered the Infernites.

Shuff pushed the boulder off of himself, and then the camera pans up to a medium shot of the Infernites on the stone bench.

"Rockball looks fun man, let's play." Said Flain.

The camera cuts to a close-up of the three-eyed Glowkie, while the rest of the audio of Rockball is still playing somewhat faintly. In the background, part of the ground falls apart (the inside of the hole is TV static), and then screams from Ed, Edd, and Eddy are heard in the background, causing the three-eyed Glowkie to look behind himself in concern and fear. Cut back to a medium shot of the Infernites.

"..Wait, do you guys hear static?" Asked Zorch.

"From where?" Questioned Vulk.

"I don't know, somewhere over there?" Assumed Zorch as he pointed towards a boulder home.

The three-eyed Glowkie walked towards the hole, whimpering in fear, only to find that the TV static inside quickly shifted into a bird's-eye view of somewhere on Earth from a million miles in the sky. Inside the hole, the Glowkie also saw three creatures falling from the sky.

The Glowkie yelped and immediately flew right into the hole without a second thought, attempting to fall towards the creatures to save them from their plummeting doom.

"Oh, someone danger! WE GET!" Realized Krader.

Krader then dug into the ground, with Seismo and Shuff following behind. The Cragsters popped out of the tunnel that they made behind the boulder home, only to find a strange portal nearby. Zorch zoomed next to the Cragsters, checking up on where they found the source of the static-like noise.

"Did you find the static noise yet?" Asked Zorch.

"Yeah, it came from portal!" Exclaimed Shuff as the pointed towards it.

Meanwhile, the three-eyed Glowkie was getting close to the three creatures, until the group of cartoons suddenly glitched into Springfield, and then they crashed through the roof of a donut shop where Niksput, Peg, and Cat hid away from Corrupted Rambamboo.

"You're all gonna have to pay for that roof, sirs." Reminded the cashier.

"..Do you SERIOUSLY think we HAVE that much MONEY!?" Shouted one of the creatures who wore red suspenders, purple pants, and a yellow shirt.

"Eddy, please have some manners." Reminded another creature who wore an orange t-shirt and purple shorts.

The three-eyed Glowkie attempted to get off of the pile of the three creatures (or in our case, 'humans'.), but he rolled off the pile and hit the cashier's counter due to being so tired and hurt from the fall that he and the creatures just had.

"Uh... got any bandages?" The three-eyed Glowkie asked the cashier.

"Nope, fresh out. Try checking out the Kwik-E Mart for some, they're pretty close from here." Said the cashier.

"Just get out of here, take a right, and keep going until you see a store called 'Kwik-E Mart'."

The group of cartoons (not including the cashier) paused, and then they scrambled towards the door the followed the cashier's directions to Kwik-E Mart. The cartoons scrambled inside the store, quickly ran around, checking every aisle for bandages, and left no stone unturned.

"Goodness, it hasn't been this crazy ever since everyone became their own costumes." Worried the cashier.

(Fun Fact: This is a reference to "I've Grown A Costume On Your Face from Treehouse of Horror XVI.)

The various cartoons ran through each aisle, just searching and searching for bandages, until they finally found two small and identical boxes that both said "BAND-AID", and Niksput and Ed both grabbed a box each, and then all of the cartoons (not including the cashier) were about to head out of the store, until...

"Hold it! Hold it! You have to pay for those, so don't come out of here until you do." Reminded the cashier.

"Oh, I'm sorry that we fell from the SKY just to get BANDAGES! TINY BOXES OF BANDAGES!" Shouted Ed as he turned towards the cashier.

One of the creatures who had a unibrow ran towards the medical aisle and walked around, searching for more bandages.

"Boxes of bandages, boxes of bandages, boxes of bandages.." Chanted the unibrow creature.

Ed looked at the unibrow creature in disappointment while most of the rest of the cartoons looked at the unibrow creature in confusion.

"..Look, cashier bro, we don't really have any Mucks on us right now so could you at least-" Suddenly, Ed interrupted Niksput to create yet another one of his scams.

"Cashier person, look at you! You look like you've been working your butt off!" Ed told the cashier.

"I mean, you must be so tired from working here for so long, right? Let me tell you, what you need is a break, not to mention a replacement!"

"..Excuse me sir but even if I wanted to, my boss would not allow it." Reminded the cashier.

Ed looked at the name tag on the cashier's green jacket, which said "APU".

"Look, Ape-pu, your boss has been bossing you for so long! Aren't you getting at least a little tired of it?" Ed told Apu.

"Ed, you do realize that a cashier can't just waltz away from his duty like nothing, correct?" Questioned the creature who wore an orange t-shirt and purple shorts.

In response, Ed groaned in annoyance, with the unibrow creature still chanting "boxes of bandages" in the background.
