''Okay Lucy, now that you're free of the hospital what do yer wanna do?'' asked Yakko,
They had been released from the hospital and were now standing outside pondering what to do today.
''We could go lick stamps!'' said dot
''We could make bubbles with our spit!'' said wacko, dot cringed
''Deeeesgusting'' she claimed
''Eeeeehhhh as enticing as both of those options seem, I think I have something a bit more fun'' said Yakko,
''Like what?''
''Well we could go to Italy'' said Yakko,
''Yeah! I hear the fonze came from there so it's got to be fun!'' said Wakko
''The fonze! He's dreamy... not'' said dot
''lets go!'' said Yakko, and the trio shot off like a rocket, Lucy was left wondering just what to do now when Yakko's tail shot back, looped round her, and shot off with her in a cloud of smoke,
She flew threw the air for 5 seconds flat, when she stopped she looked around, they was in Italy already!
''Well here we are gang, Italia! Home of wine, canals, and-''
''Pizza!'' butted in Wakko,
''That too'' said Yakko
''Lets ask somebody where we can find the fonze!'' said dot
They walked over to a man in a 15th centaury attire selling fruit,
''Excuse me good sir, do you know where we can find the fonze?'' asked Yakko
''Fonze? I know not of this fonze'' said the man
''Ah you know, he's the most famous Italian!'' said Wakko
''Ooooh you want most famous Italian, yes I know where he lives! Today he is doing his most challenging piece! You want directions yes!''
''Yes!'' yelled the trio, Lucy just nodded,
So the man gave them directions to the most famous man in Italy...
...of the 15th centaury
''Oh mama mia, this shall be my most tormenting challenge yet, I shall never be able to finish this masterpiece, it shall be Ce end of me!'' wailed an old man in his studio, he was surrounded by paint pots and newspapers all with the same story,
''Vot shall I do, only a miracle can save me now!'' wailed the man
'Knock-knock'
The old man turned to the door, someone was there,
''Surely she cannot be this early!'' he cried and ran to the door, he opened it slowly,
''Hello!''
The man looked round, and then down, he gasped,
''Hey mister, were lookin for the fonze, yer seen him round?'' said Yakko
''Fonze? I know not of this fonze I am afraid''
''Who are you then?'' asked Wakko
''I my young friends am Leonardo Da-Vinci, and now I am preparing for my most difficult impossible task yet''
''Ya need help?'' asked dot
''Yes, that is good, I shall require all ze help I can get for this task!'' said Leonardo, ushering the four toons inside,
Yakko finally put down Lucy, ''so stretch what's the task you're so upset about?''
''I have been chosen to paint Ce one and only 'Mona Lisa' today!'' cried the famous man,
''What's so bad about that?'' asked Yakko
''Have you ever seen Ce miss Lisa in real life?'' asked Leo (I can't be arsed writing his full name all the time)
''eeehhhh no but something about the way your saying makes me not want to'' said Yakko, ''maybe we'll just head off''
'knock-knock' went the door, Leo jumped
''Please! Please! I need you're help, I will do anything you want just please help''
Yakko took on a thoughtful position, Wakko and dot mimicked him perfectly, Lucy saw this and mimicked too but she couldn't help a slight smile,
''I dunno, we already had a painting adventure'' he said
''Anything! Anything at all and will do it if you help me, the king himself is coming to see this piece when it's done!''
''Hmm, okay, but you have to help us find fonze afterwards''
''yes yes of course now please get ready!'' and he went to open the door, Yakko Wakko and dot spun changed into painters attire, a white coat, Lucy couldn't do this so Wakko spun her for her so she got one too,
The Leo walked in, ''lady's and gentlemen'' I present, Miss Mona Lisa'' and in she walked
now we all know the famous picture, but I am also sure we know paintings back then were done to make them look beautiful, not as an actual representation of how they actually looked.
And by god did that come into effect here.
She had a nose the size of a ripe tomato, her teeth were crooked and her skin had moles, and she wore a huge scowl on her face,
''Greetings madam! How nice it is to see you!'' said Leo through a forced smile, ''I shall be painting your portrait today, with the help of my young assistants''
the Warner's saluted, Lucy mimicked, miss Lisa passed them, the second her back was too them they made gagging faces' she turned sharply only to see them with halo's, then she went and sat on a
stool facing Leo,
''Now madam, if you would please just smile for Ce painting'' said Leo
Her scowl remained where it was, Leo sighed and beckoned for the Warner's and Lucy, he whispered to them behind the canvas.
''I can a look past all of a this'' he said gesturing at his face indicating hers, ''but if only she would a smile a little, just a smirk would do, please help me'' he begged,
''Relax stretch, we'll make her smile'' and they pulled out feathers from hammer-space, Wakko pulled out a second one and gave it to Lucy, then they ran over and began trying to tickle a smile out of her,
Nothing.
Not even a smirk.
''Hmm, this is going to take drastic measures'' contemplated Yakko.
''What do you mean Yakko?'' asked dot
A large pie in her face was the reply.
Both Wakko and Yakko were rolling around laughing while cream covered dots face, Lucy even snickered a little, but Miss Mona Lisa?
Nothing.
''Well what else can we do?'' asked Yakko to Wakko,
''I have an idea'' said dot in a dangerously quite voice, they both turned too see dot with a large mallet for a split second,
Then down came the mallet.
And yet still nothing from Miss Lisa,
But a huge headache for Yakko and Wakko,
The four had tried everything, from jokes to mallets to anvils, and had gotten nothing from the moody woman, and the time for the king to come was getting nearer and nearer,
''This is a disaster! I shall never finish in time, the king will be most angry with me!'' cried Leo,
''Well we've tried everything! She's as emotionless as buster Keaton!'' yelled dot
Calm down dot, you'll make your hair a mess'' said Wakko with a bit of a smirk
''Not that it'll make much difference'' said Yakko with an identical smirk
''You better watch it'' seethed dot pointing at them,
''Settle down dotty'' said Yakko with a bigger smirk,
This was a mistake
''DONT! CALL! ME! DOTTY!'' she screamed and took out a mallet, took aim, and threw it had at her brothers, who dived aside and let it pass through,
But now it was heading at Lucy,
Luckily thanks to years of practice avoiding trajectories from her father she had good reflexes,
she picket u a tray on a table near he and held it up in front, the mallet ricochet of it and flew up into a prototype flying machine hanging from a string on the ceiling, it flew round and round so fast it was a blur, there was a shelf by the machine, on it were various paint pots and jugs and urns, the machine caught one of these and sent it flying through the air,
Straight at Leo,
Now this was bad for him for a start but when it collided sharply with a certain 'area' on his person,
Well that was just bad for him.
While he was writhing on the ground in front of his canvas, the Mona Lisa's (who had seen all of this) mouth twitched, then the corners turned up ever so slightly,
''LOOK QUICK PAINT!'' yelled the Warner's while Lucy just jumped and pointed,
Leo reached up his hand and painted a the smile from the mono Isa on the canvas, he got up and him and the other Warner's plus Lucy looked at it,
''Better than nothing!'' said Yakko
the next half an hour Leo spent painting the rest of the painting while the Warner's and Lucy rushed around getting the paints and brushes, they even tried painting the background,
''What is it meant to be?'' asked Leo
''Mars'' said Wakko simply,
''I think a the countryside would be more appropriate'' said Leo painting one on
''Hey its you're painting'' said Yakko
''I wanted her to be a Martian'' moped dot,
Then there was a fanfare outside,
''The king! He is here!'' cried Leo, and slopped on the last bit of toon paint finishing the famous portrait,
''The king is here!'' cried voices outside,
The second the door opened Leo threw himself at his feet,
''Oh sir! Oh your majesty! Oh thine excellence! I give you you're painting, I hope it's to you're liking'' said Leo,
''Ayeee forget about it it's perfect!'' said the king, Leo looked up and saw...
''The fonze!'' cried the Warner's, Lucy had no idea who the fonze was, but mimicked they're reactions, then they jumped into the fonzes arm, Wakko pulled Lucy along as well,
''Hey Leo, he like's it!'' said Yakko from his perch
''Do you know you're hairstyle looks a lot like Elvis?'' asked dot
Later on they pulled up outside the Warner lot screeching comically; Yakko placed Lucy on the floor from his tail where she had hung,
''Hey you're starting to catch on, soon you'll be as wacky, zany and manic as we are'' said Wakko,
''And the fact you can't talk can come in use for silent cartoons'' said dot
''Stick with us kid and you'll be fine'' Yakko
As they were talking, further up the street a man was watching round a corner,
a grimy, smelly, plain nasty looking man who knew Lucy all too well, she may be in a new form but he still recognized her, he sneered, he should remember her,
He had known her since birth...
