Ch. 1 Flip the Script
We find ourselves in a quaint little cottage as a familiar squirrel was currently sitting at a table with two other females.
"Ah, what a beautiful summer morning, wouldn't you agree girls?" asked Slappy to Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.
"Yes mother dear." spoke both of them in unison.
"Anyone care for more tea?" asked Slappy holding up the kettle.
"I'd love some mother-You know what? This won't work for me." frowned Minerva standing up from her seat.
"What's wrong?" asked Hello Nurse.
"We've been doing the same cartoon clichés for decades and I for one am tired of it."
"Amen to that sister," remarked Slappy as she all but ripped the bonnet from her head and through it on the table "I'm playing an old squirrel lady whose daughters are a human and a mink. What's up with that?"
"I mean it's nice to make some wholesome family entertainment but times have changed. I wanna do more than just cartoon comedy."
"Like what?" asked Hello Nurse.
"Like drama, action, horror, romance, and possibly... something a little naughty on the side." smiled Minerva.
"Minerva!?" gasped Hello Nurse.
"I'm in, just as long as don't have to dress up in anything frilly."
"A little too late for that." whispered Minerva.
"What was that?" asked the squirrel getting up.
"Nothing." spoke Minerva hiding her smile.
Both turned to Hello Nurse.
"Well... alright, but lets add some sci-fi and fantasy to the list."
"Why?" asked Slappy with a raised eyebrow.
"I always liked the shiny outfits in sci-fi and lets face it what girl doesn't have dreams of being a princess in the days of old?"
Slappy raises her hand. "I don't need to look like some fancy shmancy damsel. Someone tries to take me, I'll give'em the good ol' one two." spoke the squirrel.
"Well lets talk to the artist." spoke the mink before looking towards the audience. "Can we get a white background to start over?"
A giant pencil with the eraser facing them appeared and literally rubbed away the scene, leaving the three girls in a virtually endless white void.
"Alright ladies, where do we start?" asked the mink.
"Well before we start with the story, I need to have some work done. Hey Picasso, how about getting me out of these rags you call clothes and give me a body I can be proud of with some extra time on it?"
The pencil erased the old lady clothes she had on and erased her out before drawing her as an hourglass.
"Look. You have that hourglass figure you wanted." snickered Minerva.
The pencil drew a mirror next to her so she could get a good look at herself.
"Keep this up funny man and you're gonna be missing some teeth." warned Slappy whose glaring eyes could still be seen.
The eraser quickly got rid of the hourglass and redrew Slappy, but with a younger, curvier body similar to Minerva's.
"Hubba hubba I'm hot." She made a few poses in front of the mirror to admire her new figure. "Now lets get down to the nitty gritty. What genre should we do first?" asked the squirrel.
"I say a romantic drama with me as the leading lady." smiled Minerva holding a hand to her chest.
"Easy stomach." remarked Slappy feeling sick just from hearing that.
"Um, maybe we should try asking the artist what would work?" suggested the nurse.
The brush came down and painted a city. Then edits the girls on a building in front of a museum and puts them in skin tight black outfits with equipment used for burglary.
"Hey! I'm a squirrel, not a cat." growled Slappy.
"I think they look nice." smiled Hello Nurse.
"Now all we need is to know what we're still stealing." spoke Minerva.
The pencil drew a small newspaper that showed a picture of a red ruby.
"There's your answer." mumbled Slappy.
Hello Nurse pulls out a grappling hook "Let's go get it."
She shot the hook as it latched onto the edge and the three beauties zip lined to the museums roof.
Slappy went to the security panel connected to the skylight and cuts the power from it. "I may not be a professional burglar, but I have done a little breaking and entering in my time."
"Which explains a lot." spoke Minerva opening the skylight and tossing a rope down.
Minerva slid down the rope to the floor below, followed by Hello Nurse and finally Slappy.
"So, where's this rock at anyway?" asked Slappy.
The artist draws a sign to the ruby.
"Thanks for the tip Rembrandt, you couldn't have put that up before we came it." remarked Slappy.
The three of them followed the sign and saw the ruby sitting on a pedestal.
Minerva moved the infrared goggles down to her eyes and saw the beams of light surrounding it. "I got this, finally I get to put all those years of acrobatics to good use."
She leaped through and ducked past the beams and reached the ruby in no time. Minerva makes a smug smirk and reaches for the ruby. "Too easy."
"Wait!" cried Slappy.
Once the ruby was removed the alarm started going.
"Stop right there!" called a security guard as two of them ran towards the thieves.
"Run!" yelled Hello Nurse as they darted for the exit.
Slappy "You dumb bimbo, don't you know that you're suppose to put something of equal weight in place of the thing you're stealing?"
Minerva "Oh just shut up."
they make it to the rope. Slappy is the first to climb followed by Hello Nurse then Minerva.
A guard grabs her ankle "Gotcha!"
"Sorry, I prefer guys that aren't clingy!" Minerva used her other foot to kick him away as she climbed up the rope and they shut the skylight.
"Nice kick." complimented Hello Nurse.
"Thanks."
"Don't start celebrating too soon ladies." Slappy then points to the police cars barreling toward their location. They all slid down the drain pipe to the ground below.
"Hey mac, can we get a getaway car?" called Slappy as the pencil drew up a mustang.
"Nice choice, I'll drive." spoke Slappy getting into the driver's seat.
"Shotgun!" called Hello Nurse.
They got in and floored it as they sped away from the cops with the ruby.
"I'm not in the mood for a car chase, but I ain't going back to prison." spoke Slappy keeping the wheel steady.
"Back?" spoke both the nurse and mink.
"Just hold on." Slappy turned at a corner sending the vehicle back to the curb between two other cars and finally turned off the engine. "Get down."
They all ducked their heads as the police cars drove right past them.
Slappy looked back at the police cars driving further away. "Our tax dollars at work."
"At least we got the ruby." smiled Minerva looking down, only to see the ruby erased and a stick of dynamite drawn in its place.
BOOM!
The scene changed to all of them getting covered in gunpowder turning them black as their hair was blown back wit h parts of their suit burned off.
"My hair!" Screeched Minerva.
"Of all the nerve." frowned Hello Nurse.
Slappy licks her fingers and puts out the small flame on the tip of her ear. "Girls, lets teach this comedian some manners."
The artist is grabbed by three pairs of hands and pulled into the page.
