The following is a ToonSchool version of We Are the World: 25 For Haiti. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, THE SONG OR ITS LYRICS, OR THE ToonSchool STORY!! The latter of which belongs to dannyfangirl. I created this songfic to remind everyone of the devastation the Haiti Quake has caused and what we humans and the cartoons can do to help make things better for the Haitian people.
And so now I present to you: We Are the World 25 For Haiti: ToonSchool Edition.
In ToonTown, there was a gathering at ToonSchool's auditorium. Parents, guardians and Townsfolk had arrived to see a special charity event at the world best school for young cartoons. Once everyone was seated, the lighted dimmed and Daisy Duck, the secretary for ToonSchool's principal, stepped in to a spotlight with a microphone.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she greeted the audience "welcome to our special charity event. We would like to thank you for your $5 donations that you hand-in at the auditorium entrance. And now without further ado, to discuss the event which you are all here for, here are ToonSchool's principal and our mayor, Mickey Mouse and our deputy mayor, Bugs Bunny."
Daisy exited stage right and entering from stage left were Mickey and Bugs.
Good evening, everybody and welcome to our special charity, which is also being broadcast all around ToonTown and the cartoon world," Mickey said.
"Now let's get down to business, doc," Bugs put in. "As you know, this past month the human-world country of Haiti has been devastated by a massive earthquake."
"That's right, now the humans are doing everything to help the homeless, the sick and injured, the poor and starving, and especially the orphaned children."
"And also, human celebrities have gotten in on the action too, doc. The hit song 'We are the World', written by Lionel Ritchie, and the late, great King of Pop, Michael Jackson and sung by them and many other music stars in 1985, was remade and sung by today's top human music artists, on its 25th anniversary," Bugs said.
"With a resource we placed in the recording studio, we have gained the remake version and have rehearsed with our students and your children to help the relief efforts," Mickey added.
"And now we present, 'We Are the World 25 for Haiti' by the ToonSchool Grand Choir," Mickey and Bugs said together. They then walked off the stage as the lights dimmed.

when the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along
