A/N: This is my first Animaniacs fic. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for reviews. I know how short the prologue is, but everything that comes after will be much, much longer. Anyway, here's the prologue. Enjoy.

Prologue: The Rule

There is a rule in cartoon-making. The rule, simply, is that as soon as a human creates a toon they have to bombard them with as much paperwork as possible. This is applied to all toons, even the infamous Warner Brothers (infamous in the sense that they're infamous in the studio, the public loves them.)

After all, if a toon is created in the human world, and is left undocumented, things tended to get rather messy. Being undocumented, they would run free and bend rules and cause quite a bit of havoc because they 'didn't exist'. The company who made them would have a gigantic mess on their hands. Contracts and all the general legal 'stuff' had to be sorted through when someone finally decided to create a toon.

That was a big step, to bring something into the world. Especially the villians. Things had to be taken into consideration.

Whatever the case of the particular toon was, they had to shift through mountains of paperwork before anything could be done about them.

That is the rule.

Then again, rules were made to be broken.
