Author's Note

Hey everyone! This is a result of my re-watching some (not all – Damn youtube!) of the animaniacs episodes recently.

The background of the story is based on the movie – the Warners are from a royal family and are meant to be the rulers of Warnerstock. However, the kingdom was destroyed and they live in the water tower of Warner studios in California.

Hopefully the prologue will make sense of everything. I intend to do a sequel to this and might even do a series, depending on how popular they are, so if you like, please review.

Now, on with the story!

Prologue

Many years ago, there once existed two mighty kingdoms: Warnerstock and Kallas Dawn. Equal in prosperity and wealth, the rulers of these neighboring countries, the Warners and the Gilmores, were close friends and staunch allies, and always sought to unite their kingdoms in harmony and peace.

When the first son of the Warners was born, all the land rejoiced, and the King and Queen of Kallas Dawn showered gifts upon the young prince, taking pleasure in their friends' happiness.

Then, their own little bundle of joy graced them; a daughter, whom they named Penelope, and she was the precious jewel of Kallas Dawn.

"Congratulations my friend!" the Warner King exclaimed when he and his wife visited. "She is a beautiful little thing. Ah, such happy times are before us! And do you know a great opportunity has been given us through this blessing."

"What do you mean?" old King Gilmore asked.

"Well, suppose my son, Yakko, were to one day marry your daughter, Penelope? It would complete the unison between Warnerstock and Kallas Dawn; perhaps even create a new Kingdom if our kingdoms prosper so well, and both our peoples will be united! What do you say, my dear friend?"

"I think it's a splendid idea," the king replied. "But suppose they do not get along? I will not force my daughter to marry someone she does not love."

"Of course not," the Warner king replied. "Let us bring them together while they are children. They can become playmates and friends. And then, who knows! If all goes well, perhaps the seeds of love will grow."

It did not go well, however. When they were five years old, Yakko and Penelope met for the first time. Less than five minutes later, Yakko came away with a fat lip and Penelope with a ripped up teddy bear.

Not to be deterred, their parents tried again the following year, and the year after that, with worsening results. But no other opportunities came for further meetings. In the same year, Salazar rose up against Warnerstock and overthrew the King and Queen. The armies of Kallas Dawn marched in retaliation, but Salazar's forces were too great and they too were defeated; and Salazar claimed rule over both kingdoms.

Yakko and his two siblings, Wakko and baby Dot, were moved to Warner bros. Studios in California, where they remain to this day.

As for Princess Penelope, she disappeared from all knowledge. Some say she perished in the fires of Kallas Dawn. But others believe she survived, and lives in hiding somewhere in America…
