Chapter 1 - Framed!

()()()()

Burbank California, is a beautiful city to live in. Not perfect, but beautiful. There are a lot of evil people in it. Thieves, Burglars, Hackers, Repo agents, just to name a few. Sometimes, these evil people will cross paths with the innocent, and the innocent are affected by the crossed paths. Such is the case for 3 siblings, currently running through a peaceful park, where people sit and do internet work, play sports. But some of them are trying to make an honest living. And some try to make it look like they're making an honest living. Such is the case of a man selling hotdogs.

"Let me get this straight, bud! You expect me to pay 6$ for one of these shriveled up pieces of starch-filled, chemical pumped combinations you call a hot dog?" asked Yakko to the Hot dog vender

"No speaky english. 6$. taste good!" The hot dog vendor spoke

"What a rip-off!" Added Wakko

"Come on, Sibs, We'll go eat at taco bell." Yakko began to walk off. Dot and Wakko followed after him.

"Why do stupid things like hot dogs have to be so expensive?" asked Dot

"I guess the guys that make the weiners are unionized." Yakko replied

"Or it's a government ploy to get people to spend their money at corporate supermarkets." Wakko added in.

Yakko turned the audience "See folks! We're educating your children about capitalism! Aren't we just the bee's knees?" Yakko smiled with his big teeth.

"You'd better put those away. You'll scare people." Dot informed her eldest brother

"Ah, who's scared of big teeth these days?" asked Yakko

"People with odontophobia?" asked Wakko

"Eh, you've got a point." Yakko put his teeth away.

As the Warners walked down the path, their attention was directed to an elderly lady guiding a cop towards them.

"it's them! those are the 3 hooligans!" She hollered while pointing at the Warners.

"Hey! what's the big idea?" Yakko wanted to know

The old woman was all worked up.

"These 3...Won't stop prank calling me!" she hollered

"Now calm down, Miss Terbate, We'll get this settled." Said the cop

Yakko and his siblings crossed their arms as the cop approached.

"I'm Constable Loney. Now this lady claims that you 3 were prank calling her phone."

"Constable Loney? As in Baloney?" asked Yakko

"Don't rub it in, kid." gritted Constable Loney

Of course the Warners had not. they had spend the last 2 hours watching a movie at the local theatre, and had just left to get some more snacks before heading back to the Warner movie lot. Wakko was quick to defend.

"But how could we have prank called this lady? We were just watching a movie!" Wakko argued

"Just how exactly were you pranked, Miss Terbate?" asked Yakko

"You hooligans keep on calling me, yet every time I get to the phone, no one answers!" Miss terbate complained.

"Are you sure your reciever's not broken?" asked Yakko

"Yes!"

"Phone jack plugged in?" Yakko interrogated the old lady

"Yes!"

"Volume turned up?" asked Yakko

"Absolutely!"

Yakko didn't believe a word the old lady was saying. And neither did the cop. He could see right through the old woman, and how her mind must have been slipping.

"You kids want to come with me?" asked the cop

"But we didn't do anything!" Wakko complained

"We can't go to jail!" Dot added

"You're not goin' to jail. I just wanna get this settled, and i'll give you a ride home." the cop reassured the siblings.

"In the cop car?" asked Wakko

"No, in my $250,000 lamborghini."

"Oh, poo! I'll never get to sit in a cop car." Wakko complained.

The Police officer drove all of the subjects to Miss Terbate's apartment.

"Now ma'am, tell me where your telephone is." Asked Constable Loney

"It's over here." Miss Terbate pointed to an old phone in the corner.

"That thing's ancient." Dot replied

"Kinda like this old lady." Yakko quickly shot off to the audience.

The old lady somehow heard him.

"I heard that! And so did God." The old lady responded

"Hey! I read that book. The Devil did it." Yakko replied

"Ah! I was just at the good part! Why'd you have to spoil it?" Wakko complained

"Quiet, everyone." Constable Loney ordered.

The Constable picked up the reciever on the phone, and didn't even hear a dial tone.

"Well, Miss Terbate, your phone isn't even working." Said Constable Loney

"Really! It should be! It's plugged in!"

The elderly lady pointed to a jack in the wall, indictating her phone was plugged in, along with the power cord. But obviously, the phone itself was very old, and well used.

"Ma'am, this phone is ages old. I'd buy a newer one if I were you." The cop informed the old lady

"But...I bought this phone brand new from Sears Roebuck in 1977! They said it would last forever." The old lady argued

"Ah, good old Mr. Rogers Neighborhood." Yakko replied

"And telephones nowadays, I wouldn't know how to use one!"

The cop had just about enough of the old woman wasting his time.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but these kids didn't do anything wrong."

"But...I swear it was them! I'm no liar!" complained Miss Terbate

"Come on kids, We'll head down to the precinct and i'll give you a ride home. My shift's over anyways." Constable Loney headed for the door, with the Warners in tow.

But Miss Terbate didn't want the Warners to go away scot free. She was determined to have them hauled off. So she intentionally fell on the floor.

"OW! That big one! He hit me, officer!" Miss Terbate cried on the floor.

Constable Loney turned around, and noticed the lady had thrown herself on the floor.

"Ma'am, are you ok?" asked Constable Loney

"No! that big one, he knocked me over! He's a no-good hooligan!"

Yakko stood there, completely dumbfounded.

"Some people, eh?" Yakko asked the audience.
