Jack and his family headed for the car as they did they saw that the changes weren't isolated to the gift shop near the bear enclosure. they saw several buff toons seemingly unaware that anything was wrong. some regular toons could be seen heading for the parking lot like them. They reached the parking lot and saw more toons some weren't even animals, instead being themed to look like inanimate objects. a busty anthro camera woman was taking pictures of a tourist family of Marco otters. they got to their car just as a regular Lynx toon got to his, they watched as his car changed from a blue beetle to a yellow muscle car. after seeing this they agreed that jack would use his tail or feet when he needed something, they then drove off with Alan behind the wheel.
they could already tell things were gonna be busy at the hospital. they were nearly run off the road by a feral toon cab that kept saying he knew a shortcut to a sports bar, despite the driver and lion toon saying they were going the wrong way. they stopped a block away on Jhonson street after they calmed down from a talking cab nearly hitting them head-on. they saw several Marco toons plucking food from a banana tree while the neighboring tree was waving at passersby. the fire hydrant was singing 'blow the man down' to a female drunken pelican sailor who was brushing against multiple toons and people while asking in a slurred voice for a bottle of turpentine. the unfortunate humans were quickly turned into regular toons, some of them even shifting genders.
they finally got to the hospital to see tons of toons trying to get in. they then heard a nurse address them when they got out of the car, "doctor Manzi thank goodness you are here. I take it from the 8-foot monkey man here you can guess why there are a lot of cartoons at the main entrance." she said. "yes I'm afraid my wife Jackie has gotten affected by the Marco strain of this stuff" he said before jack extended his leg for the doctor to shake "its jack, I gotta say I can't remember being this Jackie lady" he said as the nurse shook his hand, "that's understandable for Marco toons like you, lets head inside." she said before the 4 of them headed in the emergency entrance. "we had to separate the unaffected patients, guests and even employees to the north and west wings of the hospital. there are so many people affected that we had to issue a quarantine for those unaffected people here." she said before letting Alan and Henry sit in a waiting area.
"ill need you to wait here till we are done. I would ask for your help doctor but you need to make sure your son doesn't try and touch a toons gloves. we've seen any kids old enough to be able to walk they well..." she said before whispering in Alan's ear " they have been able to masturbate despite not being the proper age." she said and led Jack to the east wing of the hospital and opened the door before letting him in. "room 132, the doctor will be with you soon" she said before leaving, jack then headed past several toons both patients and employees. he then waited in the room before he saw a 7-and-a-half-foot-tall buff tiger woman in doctor's clothing entered. "Hello, Mr. jack Monkzi" before realizing who it was, "Jackie not you too". "yeah I guess so, can't say I can't say I remember being Jackie but I remember you Ziggy" jack replied.
"that's perfectly normal, Marco toons like us seem to recognize other toons as normal. when sexual stimuli are involved during change we would have our memories altered, this is why we remember always being this way. when we see another changed toon if we had known them before they changed our minds and perception of who that person was will change. anyway let's get on with the tests" she said before doing several cartoonish versions of doctors' tests before continuing their conversation. "well your test came back, you are perfectly healthy toon man in all areas." she said. "so is it possible to change me back" he asked hopefully. "unfortunately not at this time. believe me, I've heard that from several toons. the problem is that this is an unknown phenomenon so it is not curable till we get an understanding of it. to make matters worse because Marco toons don't recognize they are changing anything they touch they are spreading the 'stuff' even more." she said before sitting next to him on the table and putting a hand on his hairy shoulder.
"We don't know enough about this. we don't even know if this is a virus or a bacteria or even an allergic reaction to the gloves. for right now you should focus on the positives. your fit, you've got 3 extra dexterous appendages, and like I said you are as well endowed as any toon your size. there are 3 types of Marco male toons, first is the bodybuilder type with layers of muscle on them, who barley fit in the room however any of these 3 types can range even higher without any difficulty moving in a room that is too small. the next type is the rare fat Marco toons, these types have large amounts of fat. the final is your type the fit type, these are toons who have muscles but not as much as the bodybuilders. these toons are smaller than them as well, though we have found no toons shorter than 7 feet tall. my recommendation is to embrace this for a while till a cure can be found" she said before leading him back to his family."well they said they don't think they'll find a cure anytime soon." he said as the three of them headed home, the clock now reads 7:30.
