Here's the second part of my series. Enjoy!
I do not own Animaniacs or their characters.
Minerva brushed her hair in front of her mirror marveling herself while
singing her intro song " It's not pretty being me. Just try it and you'll see.
It's harder than you think. To be a gorgeous mink." The doorbell rang.
"auugh!" Minerva groaned disgusted with the interruption. " who could this
be?" Minerva said sarcastically knowing that it was probably another
nobody trying to ask her out. Or that annoying hunting dog: Newt. She
answered the door. "What is it?" she said aggravated. "Minerva! Sweety!
you've gotten so big!" "MOTHER?!" Minerva shouted shocked beyond all
belief. " And look you've gotten your boobies!" Her mother continued
looking at her chest proudly. "MOTHER!" Minerva shouted disgusted and
covering her chest. " Oh there's my little pumpkin!" Her father ran up to her
with outstretched arms. " look Clyde she's all grown up!" Her mother
pointed out. "Mother!" Minerva hissed through clenched teeth. " ah honey
we missed you so much!" Minerva's dad gave her a hug. " daddy what are
you two doing here?" Minerva whispered glaring at the laughing forest
animals. " well you did get our message didn't you?" Minerva thought back
to last week when she was half asleep at seven A.M. Her phone rang and she
let the answering machine get it. " Hi honey. Me and your mother are
coming over for a visit next week. See ya then!" End flashback. " Oh! must
have ran out of tape." She said with nervous laughter. "well go ahead and
show us around." Her mother motioned. Minerva took them inside and
showed them the very few features of her house. " so here's the bedroom,
there's the kitchen, and over there is the bathroom." "all in one room?" Her
father asked questionably. " well hey, what do you expect? I live in a giant
log." Minerva answered. "Well If we want to get dinner ready by eight, we
should probably go to the store now." Her mother pointed out. " Dinner?"
Minerva asked. " yeah," answered her father. " we're staying for the night."
Minerva had a frightened and hopeless look on her face. Were her parents
going to continue humiliating her? Well they were her parents. She wouldn't
feel right kicking them out. " Well then I guess we better get to the store."
She agreed. They walked out to the car and Minerva's jaw dropped all the
way to the ground. There, parked outside her house, was a shiny, red,
convertible sports car. Her parents hopped in. " Is that a brand new
Corvette?!" Minerva asked surprised by the sight of this expensive car
" almost as gorgeous as her," "well no," her mother answered. " We've had
it for several years now." " But how did you afford it?" The still slightly
shocked mink asked. Her parents looked at each other and laughed. Her
mother finally answered " It's amazing how much money you can get from
just showing up at certain places."

In the store, Minerva's dad went to get half of the things on the list, while
her and her mother got the other things. Her mother noticed several men
gawking at her. Minerva had a disgusted look on her face. " Why don't you
go over and say hello to them?" she asked her daughter. "Because mother,"
Minerva answered, " None of them are good enough for me." her mother
took another look at the men. "Well that may be true for them," she replied.
"But you can't say that about all men." she said. "Because if you ignore
everyone thinking they're not good enough for you, you may just miss that
special someone." Minerva let this sink in a bit. Then her mother broke the
silence. " Come on. Let's go find your father." "knowing him he's probably
in the beer section." Minerva joked. The two women laughed as they walked
off.

At 8:25 P.M., Minerva and her parents were sitting around the table having
a nice quiet dinner until Minerva broke the silence. "mom, when you said
that whole thing about getting paid a lot of money just for showing up in
places, what did you mean?" Her mother smiled at her father. Then looked
at her and said. " well you see, many years ago back when we were your
age, your father and I were in the movie career together. We met on the set
of a cartoon we were doing together. We immediately fell in love with each
other. We were probably the two most beautiful toons in Hollywood. We
were so beautiful it seemed that anyone would give us anything just to be
around them. We were never conceded with our beauty and we admired
each other. That's why earlier today I told you not to limit who can date you.
If had done that with your father we would have never had you." "No,"
Minerva replied. "because daddy was just as every bit as beautiful as you."
"well I wouldn't say that," she said giving her husband a look. He gave her
a bit of a glare. " plus," her mother continued, " I don't know why you feel
so disgusted by those men that look at you." "of course you wouldn't,"
Minerva replied, " you lived in the sixties." "well," continued her mother,
"when we came looking for you we had to stop down by the Warner
Brothers studio lot to ask where you were. There was a very beautiful nurse
there who was glad to help us but was attacked by two puppy boys. She
didn't seem to mind." Minerva shuddered at the thought of the Warner boys.
" probably because she was used to it." she muttered. "so you see, you
shouldn't let your beauty get the best of you." Minerva pictured her parents
younger and beautiful. " yeah," she said "I guess you're right."
