Swampy had been in need of new plumbing for quite some time now, the last time he tried taking a refreshing shower no water had come out of his shower head. Now disappointed and wandering aimlessly around the sewers he called his home, Swampy somehow stumbled into an area of the sewers he had never seen before. Swampy's curiosity had peaked, without any second thought he began to explore and walked further into unknown parts of the sewer.

Unknown by Swampy at the time, Cranky was trailing not too far behind. Cranky had also never seen this stretch of the sewer and after spotting Swampy quickly followed from a distance.

As Swampy continued, the sewer around him gradually began to transition into less of a sewer. The walls and other surfaces began to look white and strangely clean. And as Swampy continued walking, he came upon a bare clearing with the occasional machinery and equipment strung about. What surrounded Swampy resembled that of a lab, the floors polished and sleek with white light from the ceiling reflecting off nearly every surface.

Swampy did not really know what to think, he had never seen a lab like this before and never would have expected to let alone find one in the sewers of all places. After examining and looking around for a bit, completely oblivious to the fact that he was not alone and had just wandered into a testing chamber, Swampy found himself looking at what appeared to be a large shapeless pile of red goo laying on a slightly elevated platform. Walking near to take a closer look, Swampy crossed in front of a gun-looking device that had silently started tracking and aiming its nozzle at the clueless croc as his back was turned. Swampy approached until he was standing upon the platform and poked at the goo, it wobbled when he touched it and without thinking Swampy scraped up a clump and forced it into his mouth. It tasted sweet and Swampy quickly made the connection to the goo as delicious jello. Swampy licked his lips happily, it was by far the best jello he had ever tasted and there was more than he could ever hope to enjoy in one sitting laying in front of him. As Swampy was reaching with his claw to scrape up another handful of the delicious jello, he realized that the hand he had used to scrape up the jello was coated in an orange jelly substance. As Swampy attempted to wipe the jelly away he realized that the jelly wasn't coating him, but rather, he was turning to the orange jelly himself. Swampy then realized that his mouth was feeling strangely wobbly. When the unfortunate croc turned to flee, Swampy finally noticed the gun-looking device pointing directly at him. Before Swampy had time to comprehend what was happening to him, the device released a horizontal wave of energy that landed on the croc's feet. Almost immediately, Swampy's feet turned orange and jellatinus, and as the wave of energy began to angle upwards the jello gradually formed up his legs and continued to do so until he was completely and utterly made out of the gelatinous orange jelly.

Around the time Swampy finished his transformation into a jello croc, Cranky wandered into the testing chamber. Swampy examined himself and did not know what to think, his jello body was wobbly and transparent. Cranky curiously walked closer and before Swampy could warn the larger fat croc, Cranky leaned in and poked the jellatinus Swampy at his waist.

At first nothing happened, Swampy's waist wobbled briefly after being poked and some of the jello stuck to the tip of Cranky’s claw. But soon, Cranky felt his hand beginning to feel weird. By the time Cranky lifted his hand to examine it, his hand had already changed to a transparent gooey purple and had quickly began to spread up his arm. Cranky stumbled back dumbfounded as the jelly formed around his chest, ran down his legs, and flowed down the length of his tail. Cranky could do nothing as he watched his jellified limbs wobble and vibrate with every sudden movement. When the fat croc's belly was turned into the transparent purple jelly, all of the assorted objects inside Cranky's stomach became visible, suspended and floating around inside his now gooey belly. Eventually the jello licked its way up his neck, covered over his eyes and face before caving into Cranky's mouth. When Cranky opened his eyes, now his body had also been completely and utterly transformed into jelly, and now he too was nothing more than a jello croc… just like Swampy.

But unlike Swampy, Cranky still had his stitches holding his belly closed along with all of the assorted objects floating around inside his gooey body. Swampy didn't really know what to think of all this, both he and Cranky were now jello crocs, but at least they had each other for company. As Cranky pulled and picked at his stitches, Swampy playfully poked at the base of Cranky's tail and watched how the wobbly vibration ran down the length of the fat jelly croc's tail. In response, Cranky simply chuckled in delight and patted his belly that vibrated before pinching Swampy’s and pulling. Swampy’s face stretched and rubber-band back when Cranky’s grip slipped between his jelly claws. Both Swampy and Cranky enjoyed the wobbly feeling of being made of jello and they were too distracted playfully messing with one another to notice that the strange gun-looking device was once again pointing at the two jellified crocs. A loud humming sound finally catches Swampy and Cranky's attention as the device begins to click rapidly before releasing a surge of energy. The two jelly crocs barely have time to express their state of shock before both of their bodies collapse to the ground as shapeless piles of jelly.

Looks like Swampy and Cranky would make for a tasty treat, but it might be best to avoid this lab unless one wishes to share a similar jello fate…

I wish everyone a pleasant day and hope the holidays treat everyone well...
