After a short cab ride, John and Carrie walked into the lobby of their hotel. On the way over, they had witnessed many more strange cartoonish events, and
couldn't wait to start exploring ToonWorld on their own.
At the desk, the clerk had them fill out the usual paperwork, then rang for a bellhop. "Take these bags to the Honeymoon Suite, young man," he said. As the
newlyweds started to head after their luggage, the clerk called them back. "And where do you think you two are going?"
John and Carrie shared a confused look. "Uh, our room?" John commented.
The clerk smiled. "Sir, this is the ToonWorld Hilton. Our visitors don't use mundane means of travel to get to their accommodations."
"They don't?"
"Of course not," he replied, pulling a pair of clear plastic tubes from under the counter. Sitting one down, he open the top of the other and pointed it at Carrie.
Before John had a chance to realize what was happening, his new bride was sucked into the open end of the tube.
Unable to comment, John stared as the clerk close the tube and sat it on the counter. Through the clear plastic, he could see that Carrie had been compressed
inside, filling the tube completely. Her two eyes stared back at him, blinking in confusion.
He turned back to the clerk, and saw that the man had opened the other tube and was pointing it at him. "Uh..." was all he managed to say before he was pulled off
his feet, flying toward the open end of the tube. A few seconds later, and he found himself in the same predicament as Carrie. He stared out of the plastic as the
clerk closed the tube.
Picking up the tube containing the young woman, the clerk carried both over to a metal pipe that ran up the back wall. He adjusted a few settings on the control
panel next to it, before opening a small door in the pipe. He placed the tube containing Carrie into the pipe and closed the door over it. Pressing a button on the
panel, he was rewarded with a loud sucking sound. He opened the door again to see that the tube was gone. Next, he placed John's tube into the pipe. "Enjoy
your stay," he said before closing the door. With another press of the button, he reset the control panel.
