Popping Candy

*Rote sighs*

Rote: Got to be worth a try.

Penny: You do that. I'm going to check on the samples. *walks out*

LATER...

*Vibes, Van and Carmy are enormously swollen waterballoons*

Vibes: Ugh...

Van: ugh....

*Rote sighs*

Rote: This is going to be harder than we thought.

Penny: no kidding

*Vibes sighs*

Vibes: I feel...so...so...wobbly.

Van: i feel like i swallowed an ocean *wobbles*

*Carmy groans*

Carmy: This has not been a good day.

Rote: there has to be a way to fix them

*Penny ponders this*

Penny: I'm still trying to work on Fiona's DNA sample. She's immune for some reason.

Rote: So we just create an antidote.

Penny: Not that simple.

Van: i feel funny.....

*Penny turns to Rote*

Penny: If we get this wrong all we'll do is rubberise them.

Rote: right.

*Rote turns sadly to Vibes, Van and Carmy*

Rote: We'll be back, okay?

Van: burble

*Carmy groans*

Carmy: MUMPH!

Rote: *walks out*

*Rote and Penny both look over the sample*

Rote: So basically we need to use this to replicate the protection Fiona
        naturally gets from the candy...

Penny: But without significantly changing them. Therein is the challenge.

Rote: maybe making them rubber won't be so bad for now. we'll find the cure while they stop sweetie

Penny: no. then their normal powers would be wonky and they couldn't control their new bodies without practice

*Rote sighs*

Rote: This is a tough one.

*He looks round and sees Vibes, Van and Carmy are getting bigger*

Penny: If they pop again they'll drown us!

Penny: we gotta get them to the basement

*Rote groans*

Rote: I'll handle that, you keep working on the rubber.

Van: MUMPH!!!!

Carmy: burble blubble

*Rote sighs*

Rote: I hate my job sometimes.
