I'M BACK!
okay so i know you guys have been waiting, lets see *checks calender* several months, but here it is, and its super long to compensate, seriously really got carried away on this one! i mean look how small the scroll button is!
well i had several HUGE projects for college but now we're back on track and hopefully updates will be quicker, but still good, maybe not as long as this (oh who am i kidding, maybe!) but hey as long as you stay tuned i'll deliver. as for now...
enjoy...
Operation 'Make Lucy Happy' was not going so well, although they did waste some time by arguing over the name.
'''Make Lucy Happy'? is that the best we can think of?'' Dot had questioned, but they had eventually decided that the purpose of the mission was more important than the name.
it didn't make it any easier though.
no matter what gag they pulled, no-matter where they went and no matter what enemy they either vanquished or simply annoyed, she wouldn't smile.
even a small flicker from the corners of her mouth would have been a good sign but not even that happened, she simply wouldn't budge,
it wasn't a stubborn thing, they understood that much about her and Scratch-n-sniff made it clear when they inquired that she wasn't being moody,
'her humour and zense of enjoyment iz being shrouded yah? ze memory of her fathers death and the zense of guilt are what are preventing her from enjoying herzelf!'
so far this was proving itself more and more each day, so far a week had gone by since they set out on there mission and they couldn't see any progress being made,
Lucy remained miserable.
every so often they would be a glimpse of hope like when she switched the sprinkles for chilli flakes in Mexico,
a few days ago a pretentious theatre actor they had run afoul of claimed his theatre work was much more elegant and recognized than there TV work,
in other words he signed his own death warrant.
when Lucy had pulled the lever for the trap door when he had been giving a key speech they thought it was a sign of recovery, they even added to the gag by putting a trampoline under the trap door, he bounced off it and shot straight back up through the door and hit a rafter, when he fell back he had assumed he would hit the trampoline again,
until Lucy shut the door.
but each time she had done it she had not smiled and didn't look like she was enjoying it much.
they had made a hasty retreat when the actor had given chase but Yakko once more had to carry her in his tail, something that was getting tiresome to him.
''i cant get full speed while I'm carrying her'' he complained,
jokes and games were there specialty but so far they weren't proving effective enough to help her, which is a shame because that was kinda all they had.
no matter what they did or where they went,
Lucy stayed sad.
it was early in morning when the Warners emerged from there water tower, they quietly exited, climbed down the ladder and left through the exit and walked calmly down the street.
you actually bought that for a second didn't you?
the door swung open and a huge grey metal barrel emerged and stretched out pointing upwards, there was a voice over an intercom from no-where,
''T-MINUS 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, FIRE!''
instantly there was a huge explosion as the gun barrel fired its payload, people all over Burbank looked up as they saw something go streaming through the sky leaving a trail of smoke behind it,
finally it smashed down in the woods, the smoke cleared revealing an enormous bullet embedded in the ground,
suddenly the flat round surface of its rear swung up and opened it up, the Warners hopped out, followed by Lucy who clambered out.
''nice exit sibs, although we probably stopped every plane from taking off for the next 3 hours'' said Yakko,
''what's another 3 hours to them? they spend eternity waiting to take off anyway'' said Dot shrugging it off,
no-one could really argue with that.
they ran off from the bullet/capsule with Lucy keeping up as best she could, the frown was still plastered on her face,
and the Warners were determined to make sure it left today.
Oakland California USA, the famous Paramount Theatre, home to some of the most well known and renowned films of all time, universally known for its expansive lobbies, enormous screen rooms and love for all forms of entertainment, and the people who worked there did there jobs with pride,
in some cases too much pride.
the doors to one of the many screen rooms suddenly burst open and a young man and woman flew out before landing on there rears a little too hard for comfort, a man stormed out after them, he wore a blue usher jacket and a small hat on his head, he had a torch hooked to his belt like some sort of bizarre six shooter.
''AND STAY OUT!'' he shouted,
''but why?!'' questioned the man,
''you sneezed! I warned you already!''
''but I did it quietly'' complained the woman,
''your disturbing other patrons!''
''but-''
''no buts!'' snapped the usher, ''now get out! your banned!''
and he slammed the door while the couple walked away, they're date ruined.
the usher took his stood back in his spot at the back of the room, a smug smile on his face, he had thrown out 17 'noise polluters' (as he called them) that day, and now they were entering the evening shift he reckoned he could get it up to 30 before 9pm.
suddenly he thought he heard something, he went over to the furthest isle and marched down it, as he did someone coughed quietly into they're fist, quick as a flash he snatched his torch and shone it straight into the mans face, he leaned in close and brought his finger to his mouth,
''SSHHHHHHHH!''
and he stormed off on his mission to find the noise, leaving the man to wipe the flecks of spit off his face.
the usher marched on until he heard it again, this time near him, there was a woman sat in her chair with a bucket of popcorn and a drink, he watched as she took a piece and ate it, there was a tiny 'crunch' noise.
she was suddenly squinting as a beam of light shone straight in her face, when she was able to see again she wished she hadn't,
the usher was glaring at her with a look that could cut through steel, she smiled nervously and gave a little wave,
the man said nothing, he reached over and grabbed her snack before standing up straight.
''you can get these back later'' he hissed and marched back up leaving the woman shaken,
the man stormed through the doors and made for the staff room,
before chucking the snacks in a bin.
'if she wanted them she should have been quiet' he thought smugly, he was about to head back in when he heard his name being called, his supervisor was coming up to him.
''we're short staffed at the ticket booths, you need to take over''
the usher groaned, he'd been looking forward to throwing out some more people but had to do what his supervisor said.
he stormed over to the little booth and stamped in, slamming the door behind him, he sat in the chair with his arms crossed huffily, he couldn't do much here, he wondered how long it would be before someone came to take over, he shuddered at the thought of all those people in there coughing, sneezing, chewing-
''4 please!''
the usher jumped and for a second thought no-one was there,
until he looked down.
''eew''
outside stood the Warners with a reluctant Lucy, she had her eyes fixated on the pavement.
''we wanna see Sleepless in Seattle'' said Dot,
''Meg Ryan is in it!'' exclaimed Wakko ''helloooooo nurse!''
Lucy let out a sigh through her nose but it went un-noticed.
the usher sniffed as he stared down his nose at them ''sorry little... whatever you are'' he said realising he had no idea what they were, ''but we don't allow little children in here!''
''why not?'' asked Yakko.
''we are a respected establishment'' he said, ''we don't want little children running around''
''why?''
''because they make a mess!''
''why?''
''because its what they do!''
''why?''
''because they're fools!''
''why?''
''because- gahh!'' shouted the usher catching on at last, ''just get out of here''
''wh-''
''NOW!''
Lucy flinched but other than that she didn't do much else.
the Warners stayed put though, the usher seethed,
''well leave then!''
''you didn't say plee-aase!'' sung Yakko.
a few moments later there was a 'WHACK!' and four toons went flying through the air yelling and landed on the other side of the road with a thud.
''well now what?'' asked Dot,
''we could see 'The Getaway''' offered Wakko, but Yakko stood up,
''oh no we wont, we came here to see Meg Ryan and gosh darn it we will see Meg Ryan!''
''i thought you said Tom Hanks was in it'' pouted Dot,
''he is but that's not who we're interested this'' said Wakko gesturing to his brother and him,
''but that man says we cant go in'' pointed out Wakko,
Yakko smiled smugly, ''and has that ever stopped us?''
''nope'' they said in unison,
except Lucy, who just frowned.
undeterred the Warners hopped up, Lucy got up and made to follow them, but before she did and while they werent looking she winced as she felt a sore spot on her rear,
why did she have to land on the stone?
the usher was bored, despite only being there 7 minutes he just wanted to get back in the screen room, he shuddered at the thought of people eating there popcorn too loudly, coughing, sneezing, and worst of all,
talking.
he snarled at the thought, although we cant really blame him for the talking one,
that annoys everybody.
he was just thinking this when he saw someone coming up to the ticket booth, he sat up straight and tried to look important, which to him involved staring down your nose at whoever's unfortunate to be in your line of vision.
as the figure came closer he stared at her in bewilderment, she was wearing a massive purple coat and a white fur hat, she walked in a staggering way and stumbled side to side on occasion, she had tiny arms and what he thought was the strangest dog he had ever seen,
i think we all know she wasn't what she appeared to be now don't we?
''go steady!'' hissed Dot, she was perched awkwardly on Lucy's shoulders, the purple nosed toon wasn't exactly 'happy' with this position (Dot was pretty light so it wasn't that bad) but it could be worse, she could have been in Yakko's position,
being the legs of any costume is never fun, and having the two girls on his shoulder was a bit of a strain.
''I'm starting to think I should have taken Wakko's part instead,
Wakko was the dog.
Lucy was the arms and wasn't having that much fun trying to manoeuvre them like an ordinary woman while sat on Yakko and being sat on by Dot, she had a tight hold of a leash hooked onto Wakko,
Wakko was just strolling along on all fours with two fake ears on, much to the annoyance of everyone in the coat,
they eventually reached the ticket booth but Yakko only found that out because he bumped into it.
''can i... help you?'' asked the usher, a bit befuddled by all this,
Dot cleared her throat while trying to stop the hat falling over her eyes, ''yes, I would like- whoa!... I would like a ticket please'',
''no pets are allowed'' said the usher curtly,
''oh its fine, we'll-ahem-I'll just tie him up somewhere, he'll be fine until I come back''
the 'dog' growled,
''fine'' sighed the usher, this woman looked high class enough he guessed, he pressed a button and a ticket came out, he snatched it and held it out of the window,
Lucy reached forward and tried to grab it, but she couldn't, she waved her hand around trying to see out of a tiny space between the coat buttons, she was too high up to reach the ticket, the usher had only reached out of the window hole a tiny bit.
Yakko decided to take action.
he reached out intending to snatch the ticket and reach back in, but the usher retracted his hand,
''waitta minute!'' he snapped and reaching though he ripped open the 'woman's' coat revealing Yakko and Lucy, who squinted at the sudden light,
''ya know if we were a real woman you would have been in trouble right now'' noted Yakko,
''i should have known!'' shouted the usher,
''then why didn't you?'' asked Dot,
the usher was not amused, ''get out of here! your banned! all of you, and your little 'dog' too'' he shouted, making comma signs with his fingers as he said dog,
''whaddaya think this is, Scooby Doo?'' asked Dot, Yakko looked at Wakko, who was scratching behind his ear... with his leg.
''hey Wakko take five its over''
''i know, but I think I've got a flea!'' he said furiously scratching,
''are you going to leave or am I going to have to call-'' the usher never finished that sentence.
a small black speck suddenly jumped off Wakko and through the hole in the window, the usher was instantly scratching everywhere as the flea went to work.
''gah! get this-AH!-thing off-eurgh!-of me!''
the flea jumped off and onto the small panel in front of him, he began to try and hit it, pounding the small panel with his fists, at one point he nearly succeeded, but he missed,
and hit the button instead.
instantly a monsoon of tickets flew out of the small slot and filled the booth within 5 seconds despite the ushers best efforts to stop it,
even if his 'efforts' went about as far as thrashing and screaming.
soon the booth was stuffed full of red paper tickets, the ushers eyes were still showing, but he could only make muffled noises,
and even they sounded angry.
the Warners however took full advantage, Yakko reached to the window were several lines of tickets were stuffed through and neatly plucked off 4.
''we only need four but thanks anyway'' he said and the Warners turned on there heel and took off into the building,
Lucy ran to catch up but she didn't make much effort.
the usher meanwhile was fuming and trying to get to the door, he finally wrenched the door open and an avalanche of tickets fell to the floor taking the usher with it, he leapt up ripping the tickets to shreds as he did, he straightened his hat and glared around trying to find the four children.
he finally saw them running into a screen room and shot off after them,
the Warners however were edging there way through the theatre, ''this isn't our movie'' said Dot,
''relax, ours it doesn't start yet, we'll just duck in here for a while until he moves on''
''what if he doesn't?'' Wakko asked, Yakko shrugged,
''its never stopped us before''
the Warners grinned, but Lucy's frown didn't budge, as they made there way to there seats Wakko looked back at her, she was looking at the floor so didn't notice but Wakko saw that she just didn't look like she was into it,
he turned back quickly as he tripped over someone's legs and narrowly avoided crashing into his sister, an event that would have ended badly for both him and everyone within a 8 feet radius.
as they found some free seats and sat down he managed to get a good look at her in the flickering light of the movie projector,
on first view she just looked upset, but when he looked closer he saw that was just the tip of the iceberg, her hair looked withered and limp, her nose didn't even reflect the light like there's did, it was so dull,
but the worst were he eyes, they looked bleak and miserable, compared to them the frown on he face could be considered a 'brave face',
and the saddest part was that it didn't even shock him, because it was the same way she had looked for the past couple of days,
and he was loosing hope.
they had tried a lot of different tactics, tickling her barely moved her frown at all, Yakko's one liners had done nothing to turn it upside down.
and she hadn't even laughed at his Don Knots tapes!
he looked away and took a deep breath, he wasn't going to stop trying now, he pulled out his bag and reaching in he brought out an assortment of different foods you find at a cinema, a drink the size of a bucket, a popcorn carton the size of one of small pram and bag of sweets the size of a shopping bag,
he did not bring out any cinema hotdogs though, he may have eaten a rock once but he still had standards.
in typical Wakko fashion he started shovelling copious amounts of popcorn into his jaw and crunching it loudly, he looked to the purple clad toon girl next to him and offered her a sweet, but she turned it down,
''please?'' he whispered offering it again, it was her favourite flavour and she hadn't eaten much of anything he could mention,
this time however she did take it, she gave a nod as her way of saying 'thank you' and placed it in her mouth, slowly sucking on it.
satisfied for the time being Wakko resumed munching away, although Lucy was eating the sweet she couldn't taste it much, and when she could it tasted bitter.
''what movie is this anyway?'' asked Dot, Yakko looked at the screen,
''i think I know this one'' he pondered
suddenly 3 screams pierced the air until 3 birds splattered against the window of a phone box a woman was hiding in, only these birds looked like they were wearing costumes and one of there heads smashed through the glass minus the costume, it was grey and had a dazed smile,
''oh yeah the boids! I heard of this one!''
Lucy recognized the unfortunate 'stunt birds', a while back they had ran across the set while they were making it, but it did nothing to lift her sullen mood.
what happened next helped even less.
they suddenly felt a hand grab the scruffs of there necks and lift them sharply off there seats so fast Lucy swallowed her sweet, they hung in the air while another hand shone a torch in there faces,
the usher had found them.
''i thought I told you you're banned!'' he seethed, Yakko smiled,
''ahhh I'm not sure you did''
''yes I did!'''
''then why do you only think you did?'' asked Dot innocently,
''i don't!''
''you don't think? there's a shocker'' quipped Yakko,
''that's not what I meant!''
''then why did ya say it?'' asked Wakko,
''SHUT UP!'' shouted the usher, Lucy flinched but only Wakko, who was hanging beside her, felt it.
''I've worked here for years and I'm not about to start letting little pests in now! not on my watch!''
''bit late there pal'' noted Yakko pointing at his watch.
the usher looked at his watch only to see a tiny Dot sitting on the hour hand waving at him, he double take'd and looked to the Warners hanging from his fist, only to see a quadrant of stuffed dummies, when he looked back at his watch Dot was gone and when he looked back up he noticed the dummy of Yakko was holding a sign,
'seeya'.
he turned round to see the Warners running through the door, Lucy was running earnestly this time, this man was starting to scare her.
the ushers fists shook in anger and he pelted towards the door, he threw them both open and looked around but he couldn't see the four toons anywhere, he brandished his torch like some sort of weapon and stalked around, he saw a worker behind the refreshment stall and went over,
i think we all know where this is going.
''you seen four little kids that look like bugs!?'' he snapped,
the stall worker spun round with a grin, guess who it was,
correct.
''no I haven't'' said Yakko, ''but you look parched there buddy, how's about a soda?'' and he grabbed a cup and filled it with coke.
the usher, somehow unable to recognize Yakko, was in fact thirsty, he took the cup but didn't say thank you, he went to take a swig,
and nothing happened.
he looked through the cup to see there was no bottom to it, about two milliseconds before a stream of cola shot through and straight into his face, he spluttered and shook it off before seeing Yakko smiling and holding the soda gun, cola dripping from its nossel,
''will that be all?''
the man seethed and was about to pounce when Dot popped up from behind the counter,
''how about a large popcorn?'' she asked and threw a tub of popcorn the size of a cupboard at the usher, he struggled to hold it as his knee's quivered under the strain,
there was suddenly a movement from the popcorn and suddenly Wakko popped out in right in front of the ushers face,
''mind if I have some?'' he said before giving the usher a whacking great smooch, he usher spat out in disgust dropping the tub as Wakko scampered away,
''WHY YOU-!''
''care for some artificial butter flavour with that?'' asked Dot, and brought up a hose pipe, pointed it at him and turned it on,
a jet of liquid butter (or what resembled it at any rate) shot out and around the ushers feet, he struggled to grip the floor in his shoes as they flew around trying to maintain his balance,
they failed.
his feet shot out from under him and he started to fall, he grabbed the rim of his popcorn bucket in an effort to keep himself up but only ended up bringing it down as well, he slammed into the slippery floor and was instantly buried in a wave of pale yellow popcorn.
''he doesn't have to hog it all'' noted Wakko to Lucy,
Lucy was stood by the door, she didn't participate, she simply stood and watched, not making a sound,
but the frown stayed put.
Wakko had little time to concentrate on that though, the usher had leapt up and was advancing towards the stall, the Warners rushed out, Wakko grabbed Lucy's hand as they ran past and hurried her along with them as the usher leapt over the counter, the door was one of those little ones like you see on bars, as they ran through Yakko shut it, the usher's lower half collided sharply with it and his top half doubled over it bringing his legs with it as he fell over the door and landed on the other side, he looked up to see the Warners rush round a corner and resumed the chase once more.
as he rounded the bend he saw a black tail disappear into a screen room, he bolted forwards and was about to rush in when-
''ticket please''
he stopped and looked down to see Dot in a similar uniform, unable to recognise her he questioned, ''why do I need a ticket? I work here!''
''new policy'' claimed Dot.
the usher fumbled for a ticket which he did not have.
''err I'm sure I have one somewhere'' he stuttered,
''no entry without a ticket'' Dot said,
the usher was about to argue some more when there was a shout behind him as Yakko walked up in a hat and overcoat.
''tickets here, get your official cinema tickets right here. by the isle or in the centre, front row back row middle row, on the floor or on the balcony we got 'em all''
the usher went to him quickly, ''how much for a ticket in?''
''10 bucks'' was the curt answer.
''but that's outrages!'' shouted the usher, ''we sell them for less than half that!''
''nice ad campaign but its 10 or nothing'' said Yakko,
the usher fumed around when Wakko popped out of the door, ''last call before the film starts!'' he shouted before going back again, Lucy was on the other side by the door only paying half the attention to them.
the usher sighed and traipsed up to Yakko, ''one please''
''that'll be 15 bucks'' said Yakko, the usher double taked,
''but you said 10!''
''what can I say, demands suddenly skyrocketed'' said Yakko smugly wriggling his eyebrows.
the usher seethed before reluctantly forking over the cash, Yakko gave him a ticket and he stormed to the door, Dot opened it for him.
''enjoy your film sir'' she said sweetly to annoy him further, as he went in Wakko came out with Lucy and rejoined his siblings.
the usher went forward to steps before realising what had happened,
he went white, then purple, then red with rage, he shot back up and kicked the doors open knocking one off one of its hinges.
the four toons rushed up some stairs followed by the furious usher shouting ''you cant come up here! its employee's only!'' he shouted.
the Warners dragging Lucy along disappeared into a projector room shut the door, the usher wrenched it open and looked around only to see not a trace of the Warners.
he stalked around the room looking round, peering round the other side of the projector, he suddenly tripped over an empty reel container, it made a metallic clatter as it skidded across the room,
the was a click and one of the reel housings on the projector opened up, the Warners popped out looking cross,
''keep it down we're trying to sleep in here!'' shouted Dot before it was slammed shut again, the usher stood in shock for a second before he opened the hatch only to see a standard film reel inside,
''i know your in there! come out!'' he snapped and began fishing around jumbling up the film,
''where are you you little... hey!'' he said realising he had his fingers snarled up in the film, unable to pull free, it didn't stop him trying though.
then a small gloved hand in a purple sleeve reached up and flicked the projector on,
the result was instant.
the film was wound in until it reached the ushers hands, he fought against it but was dragged into the spinning film, the second his hands hit it he was yanked off his feet and was sent spinning round and round at a tremendous speed, he screamed as he went faster as the projector warmed up,
finally his hands came free, but at the worst time possible.
he was thrown forwards and through the small window into the screen room, he sailed across the rows of seats and into the screen,
literally.
he landed straight in the scene of the film he had inadvertently put on, he stood up observing the room he was in and thinking how to get out,
until the door was kicked in by someone wearing a hockey mask and wielding a chainsaw, that kinda distracted him.
he screamed like a 10 year old girl and began clawing at the walls trying to find the way out much to the amusement of the Warners who were watching from the seats.
''cant beat a good slasher flick'' said Dot,
''ehhh I feel he might disagree'' said Yakko pointing to the usher who was being chased around by the psycho.
Lucy was covering her eyes, when her dad had watched them she usually got trapped in the room, so she knew this much,
hockey mask + chainsaw = bad stuff.
the usher began clawing at the screen so Yakko decided they better clear off before he broke through,
he had the feeling he would want a few 'words' with them.
'c'mon guys, if we go now we can still catch Meg Ryan''
Dot put her hands on her hips and glared at him,
''and Tom Hanks'' said Yakko.
Dot perked up and the trio followed the elder Warner out of the isle and to the door while the sound of the usher screaming could still be heard, they just reached the doors when...
'RIIIIP-THUD'
the four span round to see a large tear in the screen, there was the sound of heavy breathing and swears coming from the front of the room bellow the screen and out of sight,
he had got out.
''is that him or the man with the chainsaw? asked Wakko?
''I dunno but either way I'm not stayin to find out'' said Yakko and he opened the doors,
they quickly shot out and along the corridor before darting in another screen room, ''we'll hide in here while he goes past'' whispered Yakko,
he peered out the doors through the small crack between them, Lucy meanwhile leaned against the wall, staring at her feet,
''don't you get it?! he's dead!''
the young toons head bolted upright at this, she spun round looking for the source, the Warners were busy at the door and everyone else was looking at the screen, she realised that this was where the voice had come from,
''he aint comin back! why did ya' do it huh!'' snapped a man who looked like a detective, he was harassing another man, ''don't you care! he died at your hands!''
as the man continued Lucy shrank back and trembled as memory's flooded her mind,
horrible memory's.
Wakko meanwhile was watching the door with the other two Warners, he turned round to glance at her and double taked seeing her shaking, he went to comfort her when one of the lines in the movie caught his ear,
''people like you are sick, you think people can die and you can just walk away!? you cant! your a killer and-''
Wakko quickly covered her ears before she heard more, but it was too late,
the damage was done.
he wrapped her arms round her head and held her close in an effort to both comfort her and block out the film, but it did little to calm her down, he could feel her shaking against him.
''hey Yakko'' he whispered, but his brother didn't hear at first, ''Yakko!'' he tried again, this time talking louder in a hushed tone, this got his attention.
''yeah?'' he asked, then he noticed the toon girls disposition, ''wha-'' he started to ask but Wakko jerked a thumb in the direction of the screen, Yakko listened for 2 seconds before paling,
this probably wasn't going to help much.
''c'mon guys we better get outta here!'' he said, and quickly opening the doors the quartet ran out and into the hallway,
and the usher.
he gasped as they collided with his gut and fell back onto the floor as well as them, he blinked then snarled as he leapt up,
''YOU... YOU... YOU...''
''don't look here, we're over there'' said Yakko, the usher span round and saw the Warners at the end of the corridor, hen he turned back they were gone from in front of him, fuelled by rage, adrenaline, and quite frankly his own insanity he leapt up and charged at the Warners, he pounced and flew through the air grabbing them in a flying tackle, he crashed through the doors and into the main lobby,
''NOW I GOTCHA!'' he screamed and began pummelling the Warners, ripping there arms off and chewing them,
he didn't seem to realise they were cardboard cut-outs.
everyone in the lobby however, did.
the usher continued his assault on the cut-outs not noticing two large men in uniform come up behind him, he froze suddenly realising that these kids were not kids and opened his eyes seeing everyone staring at him in shock, then he slowly turned round and saw the two men,
''eh heh'' he laughed nervously, ''i can explain...''
three minutes later the men walked out of the Paramount Theatre dragging the usher with them, his boss followed them.
''sorry buddy but I feel some psychiatric help will do you some good'' he said as they dragged the usher to an ambulance,
''no! it wasn't me! it was those kids who looked like bugs! get them not me! LET ME GO!''
then a large family of kids and two adults came up, the kids were running around shouting and laughing.
''7 tickets please'' said the dad, the shouted and yelled as the man at the booth handed them the tickets with a smile,
''NO! STOP! LET ME GO! IT WAS THE BUG KIDS I TELL YOU! THE BUG KIDS!''
the men simply chucked him in the ambulance and locked the doors, the usher appeared in the window hammering at it,
''BUG KIDS! I'M TELLING YOU! IT WAS THE BUG KIDS! BUG KIDS!''
the ambulance drove away with the usher still screaming his head off,
little did he know the 'bug kids' were long since gone.
the water tower door opened and the Warners jumped inside towing Lucy in Yakko's tale, the door shut and he unwound the miserable toon girl, the second she was free she walked over to the bedroom and shut the door,
there was a few moments of silence.
''well that went badly'' said Dot bluntly, ''whyd'ya pick that screen room! there was loads of 'em!''
''hey I didn't know that was going to happen!''
''well you was in there long enough to see it!''
''so were you!''
''well I didn't drag us in there!''
while they bickered they didn't notice Wakko quietly heading to the bedroom, he looked serious,
minus his tongue sticking out.
he slowly turned the handle and opened the door, he could still hear his siblings in the other room arguing but they faded out as he slowly peered inside,
Lucy stood there in the middle of the room, her fists were shaking and she was taking deep breaths, while she wasn't facing him he could still see the tears dripping off her face and onto the floor,
she had her eyes shut and he face pointed downwards, she was trying to calm down, she knew fully well it was just a film but it voiced what she was feeling,
she didn't hear the faint footsteps of the middle Warner as he entered the room and slowly shut the door behind him,
or as he walked over until he was just a few steps behind her, her head was too full of torment and accusations.
for a minute there was silence, Yakko and Dots argument couldn't be heard, all there was the shaky, scared breathing of Lucy and the calm, rhythmic breathing of Wakko.
''Lucy'' he said quietly, she heard him but didn't move,
''its not your fault''.
her fists shook harder suddenly and she trembled, her face pointed lower to the ground, Wakko stepped closer to her,
''its not your fault''
she shook fiercely and balled her fists tighter, her legs shook and her breathing got deeper and faster, Wakko stepped forwards until he was right behind her.
''its not your fault''
suddenly she spun round and forcefully shoved him away, anger on her face, she didn't know why but she just did, there was so much going on in her head she didn't know what to do and Wakko's voice added to it, Wakko however remained undeterred and the calm look on his face remained.
''its not your fault''
she went to push him again but this time he grabbed her wrists and held on tight as she struggled, he waited as she strained to break free but couldn't, she soon got tired and the anger started to slide of her face, tired, lonely eyes stared up at him, she breathed heavily through her nose, for the longest while they stared at each other, then Wakko whispered softly,
''its not your fault''
for a few seconds nothing happened, then the Lucy's frown wobbled and sank, her breathing got faster until suddenly she rushed forwards, Wakko let her hands go and they wrapped around him tightly as she buried her head in his neck, he quickly wrapped his arms round her and held her closely as she wept uncontrollably, resting his head against hers gently he whispered soothingly in her ear, ''its okay... its okay...''
he felt tears leak from his eyes too but kept his composure, he tightly held her as she let her emotions loose and silently sobbed against him,
''you didn't do a thing wrong'' he whispered, ''don't ever think that you did, you were brave up there and we're proud of you''
Lucy's breathing started to slow but she continued to tremble, he didn't let go and neither did she.
Wakko knew there were still tons of unanswered questions, where she came from was the main runner and so was what her father said about universes but they could all wait until she was ready, he didn't care how long it took, they were going to help her through this,
and he would be by her side every step of the way.
as i wrote that ending i was tempted to whip out the violin, but then i released i cant play a violin, nor do i own one either, oh well.
so Lucy had a breakdown but Wakko was there for her, let the healing begin!
and don't worry, the next update will be quicker than the last, well i'll try anyway, so put down the pitchforks and remember to...
REVIEW!
