The jungle was nice
But way behind the times
For two endangered hippos
With hip and trendy minds
So they flew their ranch rover
To the city's neon glow.
Flavio and Marita,
The Hip Hippos!
Third Person pov: It was a beautiful day at the Warner Brother's studios and everyone's favorite hippos were talking a walk through the lot.
Marita sighed in sadness. "What is the matter my little dew drop?" Flavio asked Marita, they had stopped walking to hug for a moment.
"I wish to have a child." Marita admitted, since they lost their first 'child' that the stork had delivered to them, the hippos had been sad.
"It would be nice to have a little one." Flavio said in agreement, just then, a child's laughter caught their attention so they followed the sound.
Flavio and Marita saw Yakko, Wakko and Dot playing keep away with Ralph but what really caught their attention was a ten year old girl.
"Who is that?" Marita asked Flavio, he didn't have an answer so they observed the girl. "Play fair guys!" The girl called out, her voice was sweet.
"We will Vega!" Dot called back, Vega, they noticed has fair skin, black hair in a bob, light blue eyes and wears a blue dress with white sandals.
"Flavio! She is the one!" Marita said happily, it took Flavio a moment to figure out what Marita meant but then he smiled at his wife happily.
"If you want her as our daughter then so be it." Flavio replied with a smile, however they didn't know if Vega has a family or not but they'll find out.
Meanwhile, the Warner siblings and Vega were oblivious to the fact that two hippos wanted Vega for their daughter even though she's a human.
"Alright now that Ralph is gone, what shall we do?" Yakko asked his sibs and best friend, they all thought of what they could play or do next.
"We could go visit Mel Gibson." Dot suggested with a dreamy sigh, Yakko and Wakko gagged while Vega giggled at her best friends reactions.
"As fun as that sounds, I have get ready for adoption day." Vega told her best friends, the Warner's stared at her for a moment then gasped.
"You mean that's today?" Wakko asked Vega, she had told her friends about hopefully being adopted today into a loving family for good.
"Yep." Vega responded, a light bulb appeared over Dot's head. "Then we have to get you ready!" Dot said with a smile, the four kids took off.
As they left, Flavio and Marita smiled and hugged for joy. "We're finally going to be parents!" They cried happily, so they fallowed the kids.
Once the Warner siblings and Vega got back to Madame Barrow's orphanage for girl's, they went up to Vega's bedroom to help her get ready.
Dot looked through Vega's clothes while Yakko and Wakko did her nails. "Really guys?" Vega asked bemused, her friends were so silly all the time.
"We need to help you look your best." Dot replied to Vega, she smiled and shook her head. "Maybe you should sing to get attention." Yakko suggested.
Vega thought about it decided that maybe singing would get a perspective family's attention. "I'll do it!" Vega responded happily, soon it was time.
A lot of human adults came to see the kids but two hippos were looking for Vega. "How will we find her?" Marita asked Flavio, she was worried.
"We will find her, my little sunshine." Flavio said in a determined tone, they started to search for Vega who was setting up her guitar to play.

When Vega was done singing she looked at the adults who were clapping for but soon the crowed dispersed and other kids were adopted by those same people.
"Oh well, there's always next time." Vega said sadly, the Warner siblings started to comfort her. "That was incredible!" Marita said with a huge smile, Flavio clapped.
"Um...thanks?" Vega replied confused, she nor her best friends knew why Flavio and Marita were at the adoption center. "Excuse us a moment." Flavio said to her.
"Why are they here?" Wakko asked in wonder, the four kids watched as the two hippos talked to Madam Barrow and Marita pointed to Vega as she said something.
Vega raised an eyebrow as she shared a glance with her friends. "You don't think that they want to adopt Vega, do you?" Dot asked Yakko, he thought for a second.
"Ehhh...that would explain why they're here." Yakko replied to her, Vega thought that was silly but unfortunately, Dot had been right about the adoption part.
Madam Barrow held out some papers. "Those are adoption papers!" Vega exclaimed in worry, once those papers were signed, there was no going back.
"Looks like you'll get a family after all." Wakko said to Vega, she did want a family but she didn't want hippos for parents who are strange and often confused.
Flavio and Marita signed the adoption papers and that was it. "I'd better go pack." Vega said sadly, this was not how she pictured her new family to be at all.
First chapter done! I don't own the song in this chapter and if you missed the episode, Brain was pretending to be the hippo's baby.
Please review and no flames!
