I DO NOT OWN THE ANIMANIACS. WB DOES.



Yakko almost always talked. That's how he got his name. However, lately, his sibs had noted how much time he'd spend just sitting around the tower thinking and smelling the flowers in the vase on the table. "Boys, go fig." Dot sighed when she'd finally put two and two together. Wakko, on the other hand, either didn't realize or just didn't care.

However, what the siblings didn't know, was that Yakko was sneaking to the human world late at night while they slept.

Yakko made his way to the window of a small house in the human world's downtown Burbank. "Psst, hey Lei, open the window!" He called in a loud whisper while chucking acorns at the piece of glass. A girl with mousy brown hair and black pjs opened the poor thing and helped Yakko climb in. "Hellooo Nurse," he whispered before winking at the girl. She smiled and greeted him before starting to cough. "You okay Lei?" Yakko asked worriedly; she wasn't exactly a healthy kid.. "Yeah, " she sighed.

Admittedly, the eldest Warner rather liked being around someone his same mental age; which was about fourteen...but he wasn't sure Lei would make it to fifteen...neither did Scratchnsniff...and her family didn't even know she was sick; They probably didn't care either. "I aaahh...I brought you some ointment for that bruise." Yakko admitted to Lei before pulling out a giant canester labeled "ointment" in big bold letters.

The silly scene earned a laugh from Lei before she gingerly hugged her friend. "Thanks," she whispered to him. "For everything," she continued. "Anything for you Lei." Yakko whispered as he mentally willed his blush to go away. "Are you sure I can't drop an anvil on your dad?" He asked while pulling a spare out of his pocket to lighten the mood. "Positive," she laughed before taking the heavy object and setting it down on the ground. "Why didn't you tell me they were hurting you?" Yakko asked as he watched Lei apply the ointment to her shoulders and legs. "I wouldn't have left," he continued. "Your sibs need you more than I do Yakko." Was the only answer he recieved. "Yeah, well my sibs are cartoons. If someone hits them then the bruise doesn't stay longer than a minute." Reasoned Yakko.

"What's being a cartoon like?"

She'd asked the question as quickly as he'd finished his sentence. "It's well...it's aaaahhh...like nothing else you know." Yakko admitted; he didn't want to...he knew how much she would've loved to be a cartoon and telling her about how great it was would just depress her. "Err, Scratchnsniff said your getting better!" Yakko said quickly to change the subject. "There are a few treatments but I'll have to sneak you into his office again." The eldest Warner explained; normal humans aren't allowed in the cartoon world.

Yakko sighed and put his hand on Lei's shoulder. "I know it's hard, but you'll get better." He said more to convince himself than her. "You have to." He said quickly. "I wouldn't be funny anymore if something happened to you." He laughed.

This caused Lei to blush and he quickly covered his mouth. "Look, uh, I better get back. Scratchnsniff said to deliver the ointment and go straight back." Admitted Yakko before jumping out of the window and running away before he could hear her say "bye"...that wast the word he never wanted to hear...not from her.


I've no idea if I'll even update this or not. It depends on the readers and the reviews really.
