It seems that noone want to finish this story. Let's see what we got:
masked_platypus
Everything was perfect on this quiet day. The sun was shining in a clear blue sky, and a soft wind was just perfect to cool the heat. The birds were playing cards on the trees. The cow was eating for the third time the same grass. Ducks were kwacking in the pool. So, why Finny the rabbit was so worried?
"I'm sure something terrible is going to happen" thought Finny the rabbit while all the animals were starting the happy song.
NightHawkFan01
It didn't take Finny very long to find the source. He looked across the pet shop and spotted the hypno-toad. "Dangit! He's doing it again. Why does it always seem like he gets his way with everything?"
The hypno-toad stared back, eyes changing color. What the hypno-toad did not know, however was the Finny was deaf. Despite those long velvety ears, he was as deaf as a rock. This meant that Finny was impervious to the hypno-sound the hypno-toad was generating.
On one hand, Finny was glad he wasn't susceptible to the hypno-toad's shenanigans, on the other hand, everyone looked so happy. For about 15 seconds. That's when it started to go wrong. The animals turned towards him, snearing. Out of the corner of his eye, Finny could see the hypno-toad smirking.
"I'm sure something terrible is going to happen" thought Finny as all the animals stopped singing the happy song.
Gert
Black clouds began to furiously rush in over the skies above them, roiling and pulsing as if it were signaling the end of world. All other sound was negated, as horrendous crashes of lightning and falling trees slammed into the ground, and a foul, dread wind threatened to blow each end every single forest critter to the ends of the earth.
"I KNEW something terrible was going to happen!" thought Finny while all the other animals held on to any anchor they could, as the wicked gales brought ever-increasing sheets of horizontal rain.
ViolaLover
Finny shut his eyes tightly as freezing rain hit him from all sides. "I didn't sign up for this!" he thought, thinking lovingly about his warm bed back home. He was brought out of his day dream when a slightly cross eyed and snaggle-toothed shark appeared above the raging waves. "Well well...looks like dinner time for me!!"
Looking at the others with a look of dread, Finny cried, "What do we do now??!"
masked_platypus
It was worse than everything he has feared in his worse nightmare! Worse than the end of the known world! Worse than the day his momma has caught him trying to jump on a boat!
He screamed again and again and again. And when his throat began to hurt, he sobbed.
"Why don't you just eat some grass?" suggested Pamela the cow.
mister_mouse
"What use is that?! Unless... it's super modified, genetically enhanced grass that will endow me with a spectacular range of superpowers! Yeah! That might work! Lets go down to the local food'n'veg store and get some."
And so they all trooped down to the shop, (where a very surprised shop keeper discovered that his store could squeeze in a cow, a rabbit, two pigs, a horse, three pigeons, a coupla ferrets, an earwig, a bonsai elephant and a beetle)
'Ahem", said Finny, "could we please have two cans of...you know." At which they got a even more bewildered look from the shop keeper. "You know- nudge nudge, wink, wink, you know what I mean.."
Gert
"Oh, yes, of course." The shopkeeper replied, as he quickly reached under the counter and placed the items in a brown paper bag. Setting the bag on the counter for Finny, he asked, "Will that be all? That will be seven butternuts, please."
"But I don't have that many butternuts!" Finny exclaimed. How was he ever going to pay for all that canned stuff?!
masked_platypus
There was only one thing to do. "Stay here I come back at once" said Finny to the shop keeper He ran to the farm and asked all the animals to help him. Then, back in the shop, he asked the keeper if they could pay him with a song
And then, once again, the animals started to sing the happy song.
And there it is how an honest shopkeeper turned suddenly mad and transformed himself in a smirking hypno-toad, without the implication of any princess.
End credits.
Starring :
masked_platypus as Finny the rabbit
NightHawkFan01 as the hypno-toad
Gert as the shopkeeper
Violalover as the shark
Mister_mouse as Pamela the cow

I like it. Thanks for compiling, masked... I've been a bad forumer lately. |

I'll try to start another round of insanity. 
Spoiler: Clarissa slumped at her desk with her eyes closed. She should be working, but her headache was killing her.
Even the soft ticking of the ancient clock on the wall across the room made her head throb. |
Suddenly the ticking stopped. Clarissa wearily opened her eyes and squinted at the old clock.

Spoiler: "Oh my", she thought, "either I have slept one hour or a whole day!"
But when she went to take a look at the window, she couldn't believe her eyes. Cars were flying and robots were everywhere. The sun was high in the sky, but it gloomed a dark red light. And there was so many things she didn't even know what they were. Suddenly, the door behind her opened wide. |
"You're wondering what this is all about, don't you?" said a mysterious tall masked man.

Spoiler: | a shriek escapes her lips as the masked man approaches her bed. She quickly leaps out of bed, slips on her clothes from the previous night and hits her head on the dresser. The man attempts to grab her but she screams even louder and quickly dashes around him towards the front door. |
Grabbing some clothes as she streaks out the door into the busy street just noticing the three headed dog waltzing past her front stoop.

Spoiler: | Patting the docile creature on its heads, Clarissa spared no further attention to the pet owned by her mad-geneticist neighbor in 3-E. Despite the wild screeching, grating metal noises, and the avant-garde-Moldovian folk-electronica fusion at 3 to 3:07am each Tuesday, you couldn't beat the price and location for a downtown apartment. |
It was a good thing Clarissa grabbed a skirt upon her hasty exit from her apartment, because it would have taken forever to put pants on while running. Turning the block, she found that she'd gotten to the subway station in record time! She quickly bought a token and waited for her train to arrive. |

Spoiler: | She could dimly hear the baying of the three headed dog as it waltzed in her general direction. She Clarissa hoped the doggie treats she had strewn behind her would distract it a bit. "C'mon, C'mon", she muttered under her breath as she waited impatiently for the train. She jumped in as it finally arrived and crossed her fingers, hoping for the doors to close before Cerberus made his appearance. |
Nope. No such luck. She watched in horror as the snarling, slavering (yet implausibly still waltzing) dog managed to burst into the station just as her train started to move.

Spoiler: | Time slowed down as the dived onto the last moving subway car. She pried the doors open and walked inside. Sitting placidly in one of the seats was a cybernetic hobo. All the jobs lately were taken by more qualified artificial life forms. She caught her breath and struck up a conversation with the quirky individual. He shared tales of his time in the caramel mines of Golmeo. |
She was glad to have leapt in time to catch the train. Together with her new homeless robotic friend, Synamon, they arrived at the next stop. He suggested a new restaurant down the street they could try. |

Spoiler: Just then ... across the platform, and down a ways from her ... there was a sound. A sound unlike anything anyone anywhere on Earth had ever heard before. It was actually a combination of sounds. A garbage truck lever, a car alarm from another world, pressure within pipes, a street sweeper -- all of them heavy, industrial-mechanical sounds, and all heard together as one bizarre, unfamiliar klaxon. Repeating and overlapping in waves across the platform. One sound. But it was coming from all directions. Some were closer, seemingly very near to her, some were very faint and distant, possibly being many miles away. Others were just around the corner. Maybe found down Brookhaven Street or Richmond Drive, and around that corner leading nowhere -- or possibly Maple, or Elm.
The sounds were maddening and frightening.
It took a moment for Clarissa to figure it out.
She was listening to the flying Gargoyles of ZuZu. They were everywhere. They were approaching. And no doubt, they were hungry. |
When she saw the first one, it was dripping snot from its nose like a leaking tub of yogurt -- and it was singing a Lady GaGa tune.
"My God ... I'm in hell," was the only statement she could manage. |

Since no one's done it yet, I've stitched together the story this time.

I think one or two people forgot they weren't supposed to read the parts in spoilers before posting their bit. Overall, good job, dudes. Anyone want to start another? I can, if people want. |
