i feel this might start of on a bit of a let down but trust me it gets better, well i hope so, its your opinion really
everyone froze as the DIP hit Lucy, they watched in terror as it splashed all over her front and waited for the smoke and ink to start pooling round her feet,
...nothing.
Lucy didn't even seem to be in any pain (well from the 'DIP' at least)
Now what they didn't know was that Lucy's dad couldn't quite remember Rodger Rabbit that well,
He remembered was what dip looked like and how the toons were terrified of it,
But he could not remember what it was made up of,
he had gone into a shop that sold various items and asked about it but when the assistant heard what he was after she went to call security,
There was one use for DIP and it was simply to 'Get Rid' of a toon,
He left pretty sharpish and had to think, he knew what toons were scared of and how he could use it, but he didn't now where to get it or what was in it.
Then he had an idea,
An awful idea,
Lucy's dad had a brilliant awful idea,
(I'm expecting a lawsuit from 'The Grinch' and Dr. Sues for that but oh well)
he went into a small toy shop, the kind that doesn't sell anything BIG per say but the odd wind up or doll,
It was time to do a little shoplifting,
He got a toy water gun and 2 small tubs of green and yellow paint,
He mixed it with water and put it in the gun,
He had thought himself so clever when he did that,
Now though he was kicking himself, he wasn't meant to use it, it had been the threat of it that kept them at bay not the 'DIP' itself,
''That's not dip'' said Wakko, ''that's just paint and wa-''
he didn't finish that sentence, Lucy's father had just kicked him in the face knocking him out the way so he could grab Lucy, he grabbed her and held her throat in the crook of his arm pressed against him, he went to threaten them with the gun but now realising that it was worthless he threw it at them,
''alright no one comes near me or, or...'', now he was in a spot, the fear of that dip had been what given him power over there fear and the ability to do as he please, like the sick lying man he was, he looked around trying to find some new source of leverage,
Then he realised he was holding it,
''Or she gets it!'' he shouted increasing the tightness of his grip on Lucy's,
''Gets what? You're dip was a dud'' said Yakko smirking,
He stopped when Lucy's dad dealt a punch straight into Lucy's gut,
''Any other questions?!'' he shouted,
No one knew what to do, Lucy wasn't experienced enough with toon powers to get free on her own, and until she was fully healed she couldn't reflect the blows,
She was completely vulnerable,
Rita hissed at him and runt growled,
Slappy and Skippy were aiming missiles at him but couldn't shoot because Lucy would be hurt or even killed,
Brain was running possibly through his head and seeing the different possible outcomes but was struggling to concentrate because of what was going on in front of him,
Pinky simply wanted to hurt him; he didn't care how he just wanted him hurt,
The Warners however were taking this rough,
Dot was grinding her teeth, she was even madder than when her brothers called her 'Dotty',
Wakko was itching to bring out his largest mallet and just whack this guy straight down to satin were he belonged,
(I mean like send him through the earth like in most cartoons, not kill him)
Yakko was seething in rage but kept his cool, but you could still see it in his eyes,
He. Was. MAD.
Lucy's father began heading to a door, he thought it was the door to the kitchen, but in his drunken haze he headed to the cupboard, it was full of old tins of stuff and cobwebs,
The second he turned around and realised his mistake, Wakko took his chance.
he coiled his tail into a spring and sprung at her dad, he turned round and saw the incoming missile as it smacked into him, they went flying into the cupboard and knocked over several tins, one burst its lid and the contents began glugging onto the floor,
Wakko sprung to his feet as her dad began to get up, Lucy had fallen in the tussle,
The others rushed over, Wakko began heading towards her dad to get Lucy away from him, as he did he stepped in the puddle,
''Ouch!'' he yelled and leapt back, his foot was stinging like crazy, Lucy's dad looked at the tin that had burst open,
'ACME QUADRUPLE STREANGH PAINT THINNER'
While it was no where near as deadly and powerful as DIP it could still cause a toon pain, it wouldn't loose ink, toon ink is to strong for that, but it would still hurt,
Not knowing this and thinking he had a chance for leverage Lucy's dad picked up the tin and held it over Wakko, slamming his foot down on Wakko's waist pinning him down,
''Wanna try it now?!'' he shouted, grabbing Lucy and holding her same as before,
''Just stop it!'' shouted dot, ''how can you be so cruel to her, you don't even know her!''
''I know her more than any of you ever will!'' he hissed,
''How could you possible know her when even I couldn't find anything on her?'' questioned brain,
''Cos I'm her dad!''
Apart from his heavy breathing the silence was so great that you could have heard a pin drop,
Everyone was horrified by what they had heard, for a moment they just stood in wide eyed shock,
Then Ralph spoke up,
''You's...you's...you's is sick in the heads!'' he said pointing a fat finger at him,
''Yeah! How can ya treat yer own daughter like that!'' snapped Slappy,
Hearing THIS from HER, everyone turned and stared,
''Hey I might be a big rough but I would never do that!'' she protested,
''You wanna know why I hate her?'' said her dad in a dangerously quite voice, ''you wanna know why she's such a little speck of cr&p?!'' he said getting louder and angrier,
''Would be good to know'' said Skippy
''its cos of her that I lost my wife!'' he shouted, ''I had such a beautiful wife, we were happy just the two of us, the SHE came and ruined it'' he said giving Lucy a forceful shake, ''I begged her to get the abortion but no, she wanted her, but I didn't, she spent so much time buying her clothes while I had to drag myself along with her, watching that cyst of a child grow in her!'' he snapped, ''my wife always had a poor heart, and the more this little sh!t grew the more exhausted she got. then it came, the day of delivery, I just wanted the little retch out of my wife, them maybe she could go in an orphanage and we could be rid of her'' he was getting angrier as he went, ''but her heart couldn't take the stress of the birth, the second Lucy flopped out her heart gave, she died right there on the hospital bed, my wife, the only one I've ever loved gone'' a tear ran down his cheek, then his face contorted in fury and he began shaking in anger, ''and I was left with her, this little piece of sputum, I tried to love her, like my wife would have, but every time I looked at her, her little face, all I saw was my wife, my wife lying there dead on the table, all because of her!'' he gave up trying to hold back, ''ITS CAUSE OF HER THAT SHE'S GONE! SHE MADE HER SUFFER! SHE TOOK HER LIFE! AND SHE DESSERVES ALL THAT SHE GETS!'' he screamed with such force and power that everyone except Wakko who was on the floor nursing his foot, he looked up and was frozen in shock at what he had heard,
''She deserves to suffer! and those who help her...'' holding out the thinner above Wakko, ''deserve to suffer too!''
Lucy didn't know either about the difference between DIP and thinner, all she knew was that Wakko was in trouble because of her, surly she could do something!''
Then she realised what she could do,
She opened he mouth and bit down hard on her fathers arm,
''GYAAHHH!'' her father screamed as her toon animal teeth sank into his skin, making him drop the tin and loose his footing on Wakko, he almost dropped Lucy but caught her,
''YOU LITTLE SH!T'' he screamed pinning by her throat against the wall, ''I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF Y-'' he said punching her hard every word, Wakko jumped in on the last one followed by the others and slammed into his side, Lucy was sent flying and clattered amongst the other tins,
Her dad meanwhile had managed to get a grasp on Wakko's throat and lifted him up; Lucy looked up and saw this,
Wakko was the one, who comforted her that night,
He was the one, who helped her most with toon skills,
And he was the one who she felt closest to,
She felt something she hadn't before,
She had felt fear, horror, anxiety, panic, and recently humour, happiness and joy, but never this,
Lucy was angry, she forgot all about the pain she felt,
Lucy's dad had got Wakko against the wall,
''YER WANT SOME! WELL FINE!'' and he drew back his fist, the other toons leapt to stop him,
then the end of a mallet swung round and slammed into his head making him drop Wakko (bounced like a ball over to his sibs) and fall hard against the wall, everyone looked to the other end of the mallet to see who was holding the long handle,
It wasn't dot,
It wasn't Yakko,
It wasn't pinky, brain, Slappy, Skippy, Rita, Runt, Ralph or any of the guards,
It was Lucy,
She had done it; she had pulled a mallet out of hammer space,
But while she had hit him, she could not hit him hard, she was too weak,
She sunk to her knees as her adrenaline wore off and her dad regained composition,
When he saw who had done he went blind with fury and went at her, and he might have got her,
If a blur of grey and white hadn't flew at his face and began clawing and scratching at it,
And a horrible biting pain in the form of a brown blur hadn't gone for his leg,
Rita and Runt had made there move's,
Her dad disappeared in a cloud as everyone jumped in and began battering him,
Except Wakko, he got in a few good hits with his mallet before turning and seeing Lucy,
she was on her knee's and woozy, her weak ribs hadn't stood a chance against her dads brute force, he ran over and caught he as she was falling forwards, her vision was getting fuzzy and voices echoed in her ears,
''Guys!'' he shouted, Yakko and dot stopped and looked to see the scene and ran over,
everyone else stopped and left her dad semi conscious on the floor as they ran over, but not before one in particular pulled something out of her purse,
''Here, have a bomb for yer troubles'' said Slappy and dropped the bomb, complete with lit fuse, onto his lap and darted over,
Her dad didn't even have time to react before the fuse burnt down,
There was a quick explosion that didn't affect the others but quickly robbed him of his consciousness,
Lucy's eyes began fluttering as the fuzziness in her eyes turned figures into blurs and anything she heard just sound like blurry echoes
She felt Wakko holding her close as she was on her knees, enjoying the comforting warm feeling,
Then she saw darkness.
this is not the last were going to see of her father, but i can safely say its the last time he gets his hands on him, OR IS IT?!
nahh it is dont worry she's safe know, but while he cant attack her physically, theres still one giant verbal bombshell left in his arsenal,
until next time,
REVIEW!
