A/N: I've just been watching "Animaniacs". This is a little bit out of context, but I think it should be enjoyable anyway. This chapter is just a bit of introduction, but it'll get better, I promise. Please review and give me ideas! I love getting feedback.

I shoved the Ipod buds in my ears, scowling, as my mom drove the car through Los Angeles. I thought it would be fun to have three other kids going on holiday with us in the summer, but I hadn't counted on the Warners. They had a home at the Warner Bros Studio, but they didn't make cartoons over the summer, so they had to ship the Warners off somewhere. I ended up having my family volunteer to take them until the oldest was eighteen. Persuaded by me, true. I was about nine years old at the time and I was an only child, so I begged my family to take them so I'd have other kids around for two months, at least. But the Warners were not how I expected. Like I said, they were orphaned soon after the youngest was born, so I expected at least the eldest to be quite serious.
Was I ever wrong! Not only were the trio of siblings happy, talkative and wise-cracking, they were crazy and seemed to have a talent for being annoying. Especially to me.

Well, basically, they were toons. And being from that studio meant that they were the types to drop anvils on people's heads. OK, so they've never done that to me, but they still used toon-type techniques. Also, they look like a mix between dogs and cats with red noses, even if they act human. They drive me insane.

OK, on the subject of each of them, they've been with us over the summer for the last six years. I was fifteen this summer, but dealing with those three have prematurely aged me, I swear. OK, the youngest was Dot. She was eleven. In her cartoon, she's supposed to be the cute one. She was sometimes OK, except for her temper and how much she showed off. And when she joined in with her brothers. Then there's Wakko, who was thirteen this year. He was OK occasionally. He didn't talk much, though, which was a contrast (let me explain later). Anyway, Wakko had, like, this impossible appetite. That didn't annoy me so much, but I didn't enjoy witnessing it. He was also the craziest of the three, but even so, it never made him the most annoying. No, that honour went to Yakko, the eldest of the three. He was the contrast to Wakko. Why? Because he didn't understand the concept of shutting up! That boy was sixteen years old, and he'd always stayed the same, talking nearly all the time. He thinks he's so smart, too.

That was why I hated the Warners. Because they enjoyed annoying people and at least two of them showed off nearly all the time.

The first summer wasn't too bad, because Dot was only five, Wakko was seven, and Yakko was ten. We were all kids, and we stayed at my home that summer anyway. I enjoyed playing around and joining in with them when I could.

The second summer, we all got to go to Mexico (Warner Bros Studios always paid for the kids). But the Warners had so much more to do, and I felt left out. They didn't really annoy me then, but they didn't notice me, either.

By the third summer, we went to Arizona, and I pretty much couldn't do anything because I was so hot there. But those three decided to have fun getting me to move, and that's when they started actually trying to get on my nerves.

The fourth summer was in San Diego. By now, Dot was already eight, and the boys were older. I thought they were just being too childish. I started trying to annoy them back, and they had the advantage, because they were toons. It just led to the fifth summer, in which they decided to make me their 'special friend'. It was at home again, and I had to have them following me around all summer.

I was fourteen last summer, and so I dedicated the months to trying to avoid them and seeing my friends. But this summer, we're going on a road trip around the West Coast, and my parents have had a serious talk with me about actually staying with the family, and treating the Warners as part.

Going on a road trip with those three? It's going to be a nightmare.

We'd reached the movie lot. I was sitting in the back of the car, (it seated eight at the very most.) and I knew that at least two of the Warners were going to try to sit next to me, if not all of them.

Ten minutes later, the car was leaving the lot, and to my surprise, Dot and Wakko had decided to take two of the middle seats, and Yakko was right next to me. I was still listening to my Ipod, trying to ignore anything of the Warners.

I felt the buds being pulled out of my ears, and I turned to glare at Yakko, who was now holding my Ipod ear buds, with that super-annoying smile. "Give it back." I said, trying to keep my voice even. "Please. I was listening."

"You've got a new soundtrack, Alex." Yakko teased. "Get ready for summer days, not forgetting Summer Nights."

I sighed at the stupid pun. This summer would be the worst one yet.

So please review! Please.
