A/N (Introduction):

Hi everyone, it's me again! Ok, so this is my second official story on FFN, however it's not going to be like my first where we've got a forbidden romance going on. I've updated this on my profile, and I'll also mention it now that I'm also open to writing known romances from movies, but I'll be writing about what happens before, and after what we see in the movie since some movies just don't give us enough info about the relationships of the characters.

One of the prime example of this (and the whole subject of this story) is the relationship between Roger and Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

While they did show clearly in the movie that Jessica and Roger loved each other, how did it all begin? How did they meet and what happened to make the two toons fall for each other? Well, that's what my story expands on!

Remember how in the movie we briefly see a few pictures in Roger's wallet of some times that he and Jessica have spent together? I'll try to incorporate those in the story the best I can.

This story is actually a prequel to another story which I will be writing upon completion of this one. While this story is based completely around Jessica and Roger, the next story I'll be writing based off of their movie will also include the lovable Eddie Valiant and of course his girl Dolores.

Ok, that's about it for the intro, so now enjoy the story!

Chapter 1- Cut!

"And...cut!" The director moaned, burring his head in his hands. "Cut! Cut! Cut! Roger!"

"Yes sir?!" Roger Rabbit asked while bounding forward, managing to trip over his own feet as he did so. Nonetheless, he didn't show the slightest bit of pain and just continued hopping along until he stood in front of the director's seat.

"What was that?!" the direction demanded angrily. "What did I tell you to do before we shot the scene; for the fifteenth time!"

"Slip on the water?" Roger asked, thinking it was quite clever how they could make water slippery on a soccer field. Of course the toon rabbit had never actually played soccer before, but all the same he thought it was a great sport. Roger thought that almost everything was great, even though most things actually weren't.

"And what did you do?" the director asked, his eyebrow twitching dangerously.

Roger gulped. "I s-s-s-s-s-slipped on the ball?" he asked.

"Exactly!" the director yelled, making Roger cringe back a bit. Then the director sighed, seeing that they weren't going to get any more progress done that day. From morning all the way up to the late afternoon, they had been filming the next scene for the start of an all new TV series staring Roger and Baby Herman, but Roger always 'messed up' in one place or another by accidentally going against the script. It really should have been acceptable since Roger made funny moves either way, but the director was a perfectionist.

"Alright boys, clean up!" the director yelled and then he got out of his chair and walked away from Roger.

Roger, feeling downhearted, put his ears down sadly and sighed. He had come from Toontown into the outside world to try and get an acting job like some of the best toons, particularly his idol Goofy, but so far things weren't working out for him. It had only been a week since he'd come out, auditioned, and even been accepted as one of the regulars on the brand new TV show, so really he was making excellent progress; better than most toons anyway, but he still felt just a bit discouraged. He'd only gotten the role for the TV show because Baby Herman, his best friend since birth, had insisted that Roger was the best one for the role and that got him the gig.

Baby Herman walked towards Roger right as the director left, and then looked up at Roger in a disapproving manner.

"Ya know Roger, ya could be doing much better," Baby Herman said. The toon had already been in three previous episodes as a guest star on tv shows and this was his lucky break as well so he was a bit peeved with how Roger kept messing up. "How hard is it to slip on grass? I mean seriously: grass?!

Roger shook his head. "I don't know Herman...maybe I'm just not cut out for show business."

"Aw, don't say that buddy! Say, we'll try again tomorrow."

Then the baby whistled and his assistant, a rather curvy blonde, came and picked him up and put him in his carriage.

Roger nodded and waved goodbye to his friend, but in truth he wasn't so convinced. Being only a beginner, he didn't have the built confidence that a toon should usually have.

I'm never gonna be like Goofy...he thought sadly to himself as he walked alone out of the studio, the door closing behind him as he left.

A/N: A short chapter, I know, but I like to ease gently into the story. So, right now we're at the very beginning of Roger's career and although I know that there's (probably) not a soccer-based episode of Roger doing anything, I haven't seen a lot of Roger Rabbit cartoons so for this story I'll mostly be making them up as I go along.

Extra: Reviews are always appreciated!~
