Toby volunteers to show off a new product, though it has some strange effects.
Toby’s Product Testing
By: Soda-Cola
“I’m so glad you’re all able to witness my latest invention,” said a kookaburra. His name was Dr. Rogers, a scientist at Johnson's research facility. His job mainly involved inventing products that are supposed to make everyday life a little bit easier. Though his often off-the-wall
inventions have a tendency to fail in mostly hilarious ways, which unfortunately earned Dr. Rogers the nickname “Dr. Kookoo”.
Today, Dr. Rogers invited some investors in the hopes of selling his latest invention. There were 4 investors which included a female fox with strawberry blond fur, a male buffalo with a permanent scowl on his face, an elderly female cat with gray fur, and a male frilled lizard. Most of the investors were frequent visitors, invited multiple times to judge whatever crazy idea Dr. Koo- I mean Dr. Rogers has come up with. While they questioned why they keep humoring the strange doctor as most of his inventions failed spectacularly, he has come up with a few good ones in the past, so it was worth it to see if the next idea was a good one.
“I assure you all,” Dr. Rogers continued. “This next one is sure to be a success.”
“Just as long as it doesn’t end up like that electric toothbrush,” said the buffalo.
“The Super Duper Toothbrush,” corrected Dr. Rogers. Certainly a dark day that was, he thought to himself. “But no, nothing like that. Today, I have a more useful and less messy invention to show you.” The doctor led the investors outside, over to a large aquarium used for scuba diving. When they reached the aquarium, Dr. Rogers brought out something from his pocket and boldly said “Behold!” What he had in his hand looked like a cube of gum.
“What is it?” asked the frilled lizard.
“This,” Dr. Rogers answered. “Is my latest invention. Oxygum. Every chew of this gum gives you a breath of fresh air, so you don’t have to lug around any clunky air tanks. Thanks to Oxygum, scuba diving can be a much more affordable and more comfortable pastime.” Dr. Rogers paused to look for any faces of interest only to see faces of uncertainty. “Ahem. And to demonstrate this fantastic invention, is my outstanding assistant.”
Right on cue, a ribbon seal walked out of a door and over to the doctor, his name was Toby Gullivan. He knew Dr. Rogers as he was an old friend of Maria Gullivan (Toby’s mom). Growing up, Dr. Rogers showed all the wonders of science to Toby, and in turn Toby would
sometimes help him with his inventions. Today, Toby accepted the doctor’s offer to help show off his latest invention, though he felt embarrassed as the wetsuit he was forced to wear did too good of a job showing off the curve of his belly.
“So Toby, are you ready to start?” asked Dr. Rogers.
“I guess,” replied Toby, his voice toned with nervousness. Toby has witnessed some of Rogers’ inventions fail in the past, which made wary of how future inventions would go. But Toby had faith in the doctor. Sure his inventions had a tendency to fail in spectacular and unusual ways, but Dr. Rogers would make sure everything was alright in the end.
After reassuring himself, Toby took the piece of Oxygum and climbed some stairs to the top of the aquarium. At the top, Toby popped the gum in his mouth, slipped on his goggles, and jumped in. The gum seemed to be working, everytime Toby chewed, he would receive fresh oxygen, and was easily able to breath out through his nose. A success, Toby thought.
On the outside, Dr. Rogers was beaming at how well the gum was working, as he knew it would, and was especially happy to see that the investors actually seemed interested. “As you can see,” Dr. Rogers began. “The Oxygum supplies plenty of oxygen to make underwater
swimming a breeze. And each piece of Oxygum has enough oxygen to let you stay submerged for hours.”
As Dr. Rogers was pitching his invention to the investors, Toby was enjoying his swim. As a ribbon seal, swimming was one of Toby’s favorite things to do, and thanks to the Oxygum, Toby was able to swim for as long as he liked. Right now, Toby was showing off a bit, swimming
around in loop de loops and going every which way. At one point, he decided to do that cliche swimming technique where he would swim backwards with his arms behind his head and his eyes closed. Unfortunately, he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going, and swam into one of the walls of the aquarium, the surprise causing Toby to swallow the Oxygum.
Uh oh, Toby thought to himself, beginning to panic. He swallowed the doctor’s invention. Will he be mad about that? Am I going to drown? With these thoughts buzzing inside Toby’s head, he realized that his oxygen supply hadn't gone down at all. In fact, it feels like he’s still
getting plenty of air. Is the Oxygum still working? How is that possible? Toby wondered. As Toby was thinking, he began to feel a new sensation. He felt… fuller?
Taking a glance downward, Toby noticed that his already round belly was starting to look rounder. The sight and the strange sensation were all too familiar to Toby, he was inflating. In order to get the doctor’s help, Toby started to swim up to the surface quickly before he inflated into immobility.
Meanwhile, Dr. Rogers was finishing up his sales pitch. “So, any questions?” he asked. The investors had looks of concern and confusion on their faces when the elderly cat asked “What’s happening to your assistant?”
Confused, Dr. Rogers turned to see Toby frantically trying to swim upwards while seemingly getting rounder and rounder. “Uh, no need to worry,” Dr. Rogers tried to reassure. “I’m sure it’s just a minor bug. Uh, I’ll check to see if he’s ok.” Dr. Rogers then ran as fast as he could up the stairs to the top of the aquarium with the investors right behind him. Please let Toby be ok. Please let Toby be ok! The doctor thought to himself.
As Toby was trying his best to swim to the surface, he could feel himself getting bigger. The air from the Oxygum continued to fill his belly and started moving to the rest of his body, rounding him out. Toby felt himself steadily turning into an orb, which made swimming difficult.
His limbs stiffened as they inflated, making it impossible to paddle any further. Yet Toby could his assent actually getting faster. His inflating body made him incredibly buoyant, propelling him to the water’s surface, like a balloon underwater. It felt kind of exhilarating.
Within seconds, Toby shot out of the water only to fall onto the surface with a gentle plop like he was a beachball. Fitting, as Toby was mostly spherical at this point. His limbs were domes that rested on the circumference of his body, and the wetsuit managed to stretch to
contain Toby’s inflated form, making him look like a giant black ball almost 6 feet in diameter. But there was something that was concerning Toby, he was still inflating. He could feel his body getting bigger and his limbs slowly being smoothed out. How much air is in this gum? Toby
wondered.
Dr. Rogers finally managed to climb to the top of the aquarium gasping for air. “Huff, Toby!” he yelled. “Are, gasp. Are you alright?!”
“I accidentally swallowed the gum doctor,” Toby responded. “I’m sorry.”
“No need to apologize,” the doctor replied. “Right now, we need to get that gum out of you”
The investors then quickly made the climb as well, and were currently trying to catch their breath. The elderly cat managed to say “Is he, gasp, going to be alright?”
“No need to worry,” Dr. Rogers replied. “Once we get him out of the water, everything will be just fine.”
As soon as Dr. Rogers said that, ominous creeks began emanating from Toby’s body. The ribbon seal had grown noticeably bigger, probably 7 feet in diameter. His limbs were smoothed out by his expanding frame, leaving his hands and feet to rest in divots. Toby felt his skin tighten, stretching paper thin. Everyone took a few steps back from the creaking orb in preparation for what was about to come. Toby’s body was creaking more and more, until…
BBBbbbrrUUUUUuuuuppppppppp!!!!! Toby managed to let out the loudest belch the doctor and the investors ever heard. As embarrassing as it was, the burp did manage to alleviate some of the pressure. He was still a sphere, but he didn’t feel as tight anymore, which felt nice. Everyone else stopped cowering when they were pretty sure that no explosion was going to happen.
It was then that the doctor noticed something smoking on the ground. Using a pair tongs he kept in his pocket to pick it up, he realized it was the wad of Oxygum. “I think I know what happened,” the doctor began explaining. “My assistant here accidentally swallowed the Oxygum, and his stomach acids tried to break it down, releasing all the oxygen inside his body. But it seems that he managed to burp it out before he popped.”
“Why is it smoking?” asked the buffalo.
“Oh, that’s just the oxygen being released from the gum,” Dr. Rogers said. “Nothing to worry about.”
“Right,” continued the buffalo. “In any case, I don’t think your gum is worth the investment.”
“B-bu-but I…” Dr. Rogers stammered.
“We don’t want to risk being sued by customers after they become balloons or even explode if they happen to swallow the gum,” said the cat. “So, I think we’ll be on our way.” The cat then started to storm off with the buffalo and fox following behind.
Dr. Rogers tried desperately to get them to stay. “The gum’s fine! I just need to adjust how much oxygen I put into them! Along with a disclaimer, I’m sure the gum will be a big…” But the investors were already out of sight. Dr. Rogers slumped in despair.
“I’m sorry doctor,” said Toby. “Don’t apologize Toby,” replied the doctor. “I should be the one apologizing to you. I never should have asked you to show off my stupid invention.”
The doctor’s moping was cut short when a cheerful voice spoke up. “Now hold on Doctor.”
Confused, Dr. Rogers stood up to see that the frilled lizard had stayed. Toby finally recognized him to be Walter Nelson, the owner and founder of Inflate Co., and his friend Leslie Nelson’s father. “In my line of work, I keep an eye out for any potential products,” Walter explained. “And I can say with confidence, your product has potential. With a little tweaking, I’m sure it’ll be a big hit. How about we discuss the details somewhere more private.”
“O-of course!” Dr. Rogers replied, confused yet joyous. “Oh! Sit tight Toby. I’ll send some people over to deflate you.”
“Take your time!” said Toby as Nelson and Rogers walked away. Toby still felt that he was responsible for messing up the presentation, but was happy that Leslie’s dad was willing to invest in the doctor’s invention. And he did mean what he said. Despite inflating into a giant
helpless orb, there was something relaxing about the situation he was in. Being so big and round, floating atop the surface of water, moving with the subtle waves and soft winds. He found it very enjoyable.
