Our story begins with our heroes watching TV and eating lunch when Laughing Matter notices a particular man on the screen. Previously, they were trying to find a suspect who had robbed a jewelry store taking several gemstones including diamonds.

“Look, bro! Is that the guy we’re looking for?” Matter asked.

“That’s him alright. He must’ve not noticed the reporter talking about the news as he walked by. I think there are some warehouses around that area which would be the perfect hideout. Let’s take a look.” Slinky said.

They drove down to the area of town that was known for storage facilities and began their search through several buildings before finding someone who looked like they were busy working. The man didn’t seem to be bothered as they approached him and they looked at each other a bit confused.

“Uh, excuse me, sir? I’m going to have to put you under arrest for illegal activity.” Slinky told him.

The man looked up and with a surprised expression said “I didn't do anything. You must have the wrong guy.”

“My man, we know you stole stuff from the jewelry store downtown so don’t play dumb. That’s my job.” Said Matter as he crossed his arms.

The boys arrested the man and drove him to the station where the police took him and brought him into court to be tried by a judge.

“Your Honor, I swear I’m innocent! I’ve never stolen anything in my life!” The man said.

“Sir, All the evidence is clear as day. Why do you keep denying it?” The judge replied.

No matter what he did or said, no one would believe the man. The jury was fully convinced he was guilty and would be charged with a hefty fine and jail time.

A bit earlier after Slinky and Laughing Matter had dropped off the man at the station, Slinky wanted to double-check the warehouse where they had found him to see if there were any other pieces of evidence to complete the case. They peeked around and didn’t find all that much until Slinky noticed something strange. On a table was a banana peel that was eaten recently and some rope was severed as if by force instead of being cleanly cut like a knife would’ve done.

“Matter. Something fishy is going on.” Slinky said.

“Hey man, we caught the bad guy. Don’t drive yourself bananas over a closed case.” Joked Matter.

“Seriously! Something doesn’t add up. I think we might’ve got the wrong guy. C’mon, let’s head back to the cave and see if we can figure this out.” Said Slinky.

As they were getting close to the car, they heard a voice call out to them say “Hello! You guys are Slinky and Laughing Matter, right?” 

They looked around for a moment but didn’t know where the voice came from.

“Down here!” The voice said.

At knee level was a cute turtle kid with a backpack around his shell and a little hat on his head.

“Oh, Hi there. Yes, that's us. What’s your name, friend?” Slinky asked.

“I’m Timmy! Timmy the adventure turtle. I was on an adventure when I spotted a strange hairy person and it looked like he had some shiny gems in his hands. I figured you heroes should know about it.” Timmy said.

“Thanks a lot, Timmy. That’s actually very helpful for a case we’re currently on.” Slinky said.

“Aw, he’s adorable! Can we keep him?” Matter asked.

Slinky gave Matter a disappointed look before handing Timmy a note and said “Here’s my number. If you have any more tips don’t hesitate to call. We’d love all the help we can get to keep our town safe.”

Timmy’s eyes glistened and a wide grin spread across his face as he said “Sure thing! See you guys around!”

The heroes hopped in the car and drove to the location Timmy mentioned and hiked around the area until Matter stumbled upon a small cave.

“Hey, I think I found something.” Said Matter.

“Heh. That’s a rare occurrence.” Slinky muttered under his breath.

As they walked in, they saw a small pile of jewels on the ground and all of a sudden a baboon jumped out of it in pure happiness over his spoils.

Once it noticed the boys, it screeched and leaped towards them and tried attacking. Fortunately, Slinky already suspected something like this so he had brought a handheld tranquilizer gun and fired at the baboon mid-air. The hairy marsupial fell to the ground and struggled to stand up but after a moment was totally knocked out. Matter grabbed a cage from the trunk of the car and they locked it inside as they drove down to the courtroom where the man they initially arrested was being tried.

Moments before the judge pronounced the man to be guilty, The heroes burst through the doors and ran down towards the judge.

“Your…Honor. New evidence…has come to light.” Slinky said, out of breath.

“You may proceed.” The judge replied.

They explained the situation that the man was framed for the crime of stealing the jewels that the baboon had in its possession. Everyone in the court was in awe as to how the baboon could’ve possibly done all of this.

“Slinky, how can you expect us to believe a baboon stole diamonds when we clearly had video evidence of this man stealing them?” The judge asked.

“Simple, your honor. This is no ordinary baboon. Isn’t that right?” Slinky said as he stared down the baboon.

“Oh, poppycock. I’m ruined.” The baboon said.

The court was speechless hearing the baboon speak and after several moments, Slinky continued “You see, this baboon brainwashed this man to steal the jewels for him. He thought he would get away with it too, but a friend of ours spotted him before he could escape to his cave unnoticed.”

Upon hearing all of this the judge said “Well, I believe it is now obvious the choice I must make. You sir are innocent and I find this baboon guilty. Furthermore, it will be sent to a correctional facility where it will be rehabilitated into a normal baboon that can no longer commit crime."

The court adjourned and the heroes headed back to their base. After a long day, they ate dinner and slept the night away having had another successful day in the hero business. 

Time and time again these courageous heroes fought crime and made their town a safe place to live for those dwelling there. However, their most important mission was one that involved not just their town but the whole world. Yes, one of the most important jobs that they would ever face would soon come when it would become their duty to save the universe.
