Another day, another fan fiction. Animaniacs is one of the best cartoons EVER. So I decided to try my hand at creating a fan fiction with the Warner siblings. I don't know if I can produce some good jokes for them, but I'll try my best! (Please help me) Anyway, Enjoy!
Otto Atmas, a young man of the age of 22, was a semi-normal guy. He had a few things about his life that were abnormal for normal people, but he could just shrug those off and hide those secrets away. If anything, he wishes that he could just live a normal life with the same problems as everyone else, but he had to admit that a one day tour of the Warner Brothers studios and movie lot WAS an exciting idea. He could see everything behind the scenes of the movies and shows, live and up-close.
He walked around with a group of people that he could really care less about, all following a tour guide. Although it was an exciting IDEA taking a tour of WB studios, it was much more boring to actually do it. He continued with the group to move from one place to another listening to explanation after set description after history lesson, getting even more bored than before. Soon something would happen, though. As the group passed a water tower, he heard a sigh that did not come from anyone in the group.
Otto looked around trying to find the source of the sigh, only to hear that it was accompanied by two others. He still looked around, and could not find the sources. He decided to stop and listen carefully, willingly tuning out the voice of the tour guide, who was currently talking up a storm about the history of the water tower. Due to… reasonable circumstances, he developed the ability to locate the source of any sound within a 3 mile radius. He found that the sighs were coming from…
"The water tower?" said Otto questionably. The tour guide heard him, and was both confused at the reason he said that, and irritated that she was interrupted. So she decided to confront him about it.
"Excuse me, sir. I didn't quite catch your question."
"Hm? Oh, uh, yes, my question. Right. Uh, what exactly is inside that water tower?"
The tour guide showed a slightly peeved face, but shook it off and said, "It's a water tower. It holds water. Now are there any questions that DON'T have an obvious answer to them?"
Otto could still hear the sighs, but decided to wait until later to investigate. So the day rolled to an end, and the lot had only the night watch patrolling it, making sure that no one snuck in to steal or mess with anything. Of course, Otto could easily make it past them unseen, he knew how to be very careful, for in the past he had to-
"Hey! This fan fiction's not about me! Skip ahead!"
Okay, fine. Sheesh. Anyway, Otto climbed up to the top of the water tower, and found that the WB logo had hinges on it. Otto pushed and pulled the hinges to see if it did anything. Unfortunately, nothing budged. He was beginning to think that the sighs were just a part of his imagination, until he heard voices coming from inside the water tower. He could not understand what they were saying, but he could tell that the voices were that of children.
He knocked on the logo hard enough to be heard from the inside, but lightly enough not to be heard by the guards. He whispered near the logo.
"Hey, is anyone in there?"
From inside, the voice of a little girl spoke. "Who's there?"
"Are there others in there with you?"
Again from inside, two other voices sounded. They sounded like to boys, one older than the other.
"We're here too!"
"Ssshhh! You'll alert the night watch. (sigh) Why are you kids in there?"
What seemed like the oldest kid answered his question.
"Oh lots of things. Running, yelling, making jokes, breaking stuff, messing with things, breaking MORE stuff…"
This kid started to list every possible reason he could think of, and Otto got annoyed at that.
"Okay, enough! I get it. You kids caused some trouble, but that's still not a good enough reason to lock children up in a water tower."
"Boy, when YOU say it, then it just sounds boring and plain."
"Yeah, yeah. Look. What I need you kids to do is to help me open this logo, so you can escape. Okay?"
The kids agreed to his help. Otto told them that he'll count to three, and when he's finished they'll all attempt to open the logo. One. Two. Three. They try to open it, but it would not budge. They try again. Still nothing. They keep trying and trying, but each attempt ended with failure. The younger boy spoke up after panting a while.
"Did you try to loosen the bolts?"
"There are BOLTS?"
"Sssssshhhhhh! The night watch will hear ya", said the older boy.
"Why didn't you tell me there were bolts?" Otto whispered in an irritated tone.
"We thought you saw them. They're pretty hard to miss", replied the little girl.
Otto checked the edges of the logo and found multiple bolts holding it to the rest of the water tower. Using his… experience he pulled the bolts off easily and quietly placed them on the platform.
"Okay. We're going to try this again. On three. One. Two. Three!"
With that the logo finally opened. However, it opened a bit too easily. It smashed Otto between itself and the water tower wall. Out of the water tower popped out three… cartoons? … Anyway, the three kids looked around for the guy who released them and found him in the wall of the water tower, behind the door. They pulled him out and gave him big kisses. Otto started spiting their saliva off of himself. When he calmed down he realized that three kids were cartoons of… a dog/cat/rabbit thing.
"Uh… Are you the three kids from in there?"
The tallest (and eldest) one responded by saying "Yep!" The little brother joined him to say, "We're the Warner brothers!"
"AND Warner sister!", added the little girl cartoon. They stated their names.
"I'm Yakko!"
"I'm Wakko!"
"And I'm Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third! But you can call me Dot."
"Uh, right. I'm Otto. Otto Atmas."
Yakko proceeded to shake hands with Otto, and talk up a storm even faster than the tour guide.
"Hey there Otto, nice to meet'cha. Y'know we know a different Otto. He was our psychiatrist, small world, huh? Speaking of small worlds, I love that ride! Can we go there? Can we? Can we? Can we? Please! Please! Pleas-"
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Do you WANT the Night Guards to find us?"
Too late, the guards noticed them up on the water tower. Luckily he could not see who they were, just their figures. Otto started to panic a bit and was muttering to himself, Wacko responded by pulling an exceptionally large mallet out of nowhere and smashing it on Otto.
"OW! What was that for!"
Wakko responded by saying, "You really need to calm down. Look! He's only half way up here."
"What?" Otto looked down to see that the Wacko was right. "We gotta do something!"
"You're right!" said Yakko, who then turned to his younger siblings. "Who wants to do the escape trick this time?"
Wakko and Dot started raising their hands and jumping saying, "Me! Me! Ooh! Pick me! I wana do it!"
In the end, Yakko let Dot do their escape trick. Dot pulled out a magician's hat and said, "Alakazam Scooby Dooby Pasta Pesto!" She then pulled out of the hat… Scooby Doo eating a bowl of Pesto Pasta?
"What? You didn't see that coming?" said Dot while looking at the reader(s).
"Would you please get on with it", Otto said impatiently.
"Okay! Rocket!" This time she pulled a rocket out of the hat.
The three Warner siblings hopped onto the rocket, ready to go, but Otto was still confused about what just happened. Yakko whistles toward Otto.
"Hey! Are ya gonna get on or what?"
Otto was still confused, but decided to board it anyway. He soon started to have second thoughts as they lit the rockets fuse. The rocket blasted off. While the rocket was speeding off in crazy directions, Otto was left screaming in fear, while the Warner siblings screamed in joy. Its been a LONG time since they got to do this kind of stuff, over a decade even, but their fun on the rocket would soon come to an end, as it crashes into the ground right next to Otto's conveniently parked car.
They started screaming out in laughter and joy even more and started saying, "Let's do it again! Let's do it again!"
"Um, excuse if I'm interrupting, but I've got to bring you kids to child protection services, or the authorities, or something."
Realizing what he said, the Warner Trio tried to stop him, grabbing his leg and pleading for him not to do so. After ten minutes of trying to pry them off his leg, he finally decided to ask them why they did not want to go to the authorities. Yakko started to tell him their reason.
"Y'see pal, we are the Warner siblings. We used to have a show called Animaniacs. On this show we would go around causing mischief and havoc to almost everyone we met. Our friends helped us with the show, providing segments and gags of their own."
Wakko pitched in with the explanation by saying, "We'd sometimes appear in their segments and vice-versa! It was fun!"
"Thank you, Wakko. Moving on, when our show had come to its finale, everyone started to drift apart. Everyone needed to get new jobs and left, but we decided to just do what we always have done."
Dot also joined into the explanation by saying, "We ran around the movie lot causing havoc!"
"Well said, Dot. Anyway, we caused too much trouble and ended up being placed under house arrest, permanently." Yakko then rushed over to Otto, and appeared suddenly disheveled. Yakko was saying, "It was horrible I tell ya! No one else to joke with, no one to use gags on! It almost drove us insane!"
Otto looked to Dot in the background for a less exaggerated version of whatever Yakko was previously talking about. She was obliged to do so.
"It was VERY boring."
Yakko instantly returned from his previous state of craziness, back to the craziness we all know and love. He went on to finish his explanation.
"Anyway, what I'm trying to say is-" the disheveled Yakko grabs Otto again, this time accompanied by his siblings. "Their gonna lock us up again! Ya can't bring us to them! Ya can't!"
"Alright! Fine! Just get off me!" Otto pushes them off of himself. "Where are you three gonna live? You can't go back to the movie lot, and I don't think an orphanage would accept three creatures of unknown species."
The Warner siblings thought about it for a moment. Then Yakko snapped his fingers and said, "That's it! We'll live with you!"
"WHAT!" exclaimed Otto. "When di- How can you- Why my- WHAT!"
Yakko put his hand on Otto shoulder, and began to tell his reason. Meanwhile, Dot and Wakko made their way inside Otto's car.
"Calm down, Otto. Can I call you Otto? Technically, you kidnapped us from people who sealed us up in a water tower in order to keep havoc and destruction levels to a minimum. By doing so, you have put in motion article 4016 Sub-Section 1 Paragraph 3 of the 'Heroic Kidnapping Manual', which clearly states, "Those who kidnap cartoon kids of unknown animal species, from water towers with the WB logo sign used as a door, must allow the children to live with them, if there is nowhere else to go.' Ya got all that?"
Otto looked in the book that appeared out of nowhere into Yakko's hand, and read that it was, word-for-word, true.
"How did you guys even GET this book?"
"I dunno."
"(sigh) Fine, you three can live in my house. Get in the car, my house's up north."
Yakko hopped into the back seat of the car with his younger siblings. Otto got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove off. Wakko was so excited that he just had to say, "I'm so excited! … Are we there yet?"
"We just started on our way", said Otto.
"Oh…Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
Well, that's the end of-
"Wait!"
Huh? What are you doing HERE, Yakko?
"Oh, nothing. Just breaking the fourth wall."
Congratulations, you did it. Now If you'd just leave for a sec, I need to clos-
"Wait! We still haven't done the Wheel of Morality!"
What? you still have that thing? It's been more than a decade since you've used that wheel.
"What can I say? It's a habit."
Uh, okay, go ahead.
"(ahem) Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn. Teach us the lesson that we should learn... Moral number 7... 'Don't try to lock the Warner children in a water tower. It never works.' Well that was an obvious one."
Seriously, how did you get here?
"I'm a cartoon. It's what I do."
...Okay. Anyway, SEEYA'S!
"Goodnight, everybody!"
