A Stretchy Start

Whoa! A spark shot right down to my toes! I gave a sudden wiggle, popped my stubby arms outward, and realized I can actually move! Right next to me stood a tall, colorful cylinder. I lunged forward with a quick hop, tapping its smooth plastic side with my fist. Clink! It wobbled just a bit, but held firm. I'm really here, ready for action!
