January 8, 2018
Steven Quartz Warner came back home with his best friend Victor. Victor was carrying Steven by the arm.
Steven had a tissue in his left hand. He was holding his lip. He busted it in the cafeteria while Jacob beat him. He pushed him into a table—Jacob didn't get in trouble but seven did. And he didn't do anything!
Victor carried him to the couch.
"Okay… let's get you some ice." He went to the freezer to grab ice.
"V-Vic?" His friend said weakly.
Vic ran to him with the ice.
"Here…."
"Vic…." He said. "Yeah?"
"Do-do you think people will love me as an actor?"
"What?"
"Do you?"
"Why do you think that? You always think so negatively?"
"Because….. because…. I'm just a stupid dumb idiot Toon!"
Victor kept silent. He knew that he had anxiety and he's very self-conscious about that. "Steven…. Back at the cafeteria, what did he call you?"
"What?"
"Before he beat you…. He called you something and kids were chanting it as he was hitting you…."
"Inksplot! Inksplot! Inksplot!"
Kids were chanting in the cafeteria. Steven was getting kicked to the ground
"Stupid Toon!" Another kid said. No one was helping him. He was getting kicked and beat to the ground. Steven shielded himself from the blows to his face.
"Stupid Toon!"
"Inkspot!"
"How could your parents ever love you! You're weird! Look at your weird ears and your weird tail and your eyes, and you're furry!" One of them said.
"Yeah, and what's this!" Jacob ripped it off his neck and held up a small Star of David.
"Hey! GIVE THAT BACK! THAT'S MINE!"
Steven said
"Awwww! Does it have meaning to you?! INKY!"
Steven was so mad. That he didn't even know that he started speaking to him in Hebrew.
"כן! זה היה של אמא שלי! להחזיר אותו!"
(yes! it was my mom got that for me in Isaeril! give it back!)
"No! And what is that gibberish anyway! Is that Toon!"
"AHHHHH!" He was about to lash out at him. Then, Victor held him back.
"Steven! It's not worth it!"
They ran out of the cafeteria. They didn't go to the principal's office. They went back to Steven's house.
Victor suggested that They would go to the hospital but he said no. When he's asked why he said that he didn't want to bother his dad when he's at work. But his dad needed to know.
Victor was about to call him but Steven said. He just calls an Uber so that's what he did.
And there they were now.
Steven looked at the broken o peace of jewelry and sighed. It was his mom's, she gave it to him on his birthday. Steven sighed. He put his hands on his face and coughed.
"Dude dude you need to go to the hospital. You're not okay."
"I'm fine….."
He clenched his stomach.
"Steven I'm serious. You need to go to the hospital."
"I'm fine." He said again.
Steven tried to stand. Victor pulled him down.
"Nonono. You need to sit."
He sighed
"I'll call your dad." He said.
"No…. Don't call my dad! He's gonna kill me if I'm not at school!"
"Dude. He'll understand your situation. Your dad is a reasonable Toon." He said.
"I said I'm fine Victor, what don't you get?" He said as he coughed. He took the ice pack that was on his lip.
"How does it look?" He asked. Victor cringed as he looked at it. His lip was busted open. The bleeding stopped but it still looked bad. His left eye was closed. It was black and it showed because of his white fur.
"That looks bad…."
"It hurts too." He said, putting the ice on his eye.
Just then the door open.
"Is anyone coming over?"
"Oh no…." Steven said.
"Your dad?"
"I think so…." He said as he saw Yakko walk in. The first thing Yakko saw was the family cat—PeePee Suck.
"Hey, PeePee Suck!" He smiled
"Vic we gotta hide. We're not supposed to be here!" Steven said.
"Where should we hide?! Your dad is by the door! If he goes to the office and we go past him he'll see us! The doors are glass."
"Stop he'll hear you." He said. They stopped talking for a second. Yakko went to his office and sat at his desk.
"Time to make our move," Victor said.
"Are you insane?! He'll hear us for sure! We both have our shoes on!"
"We'll take them off!" They took them off. And went to his room quietly.
They went upstairs but Steven fell.
"Oh, man!"
"Dude." Victor helped him up.
"I'm fine…. I'm okay."
"No your not."
"Can you stop my dad will hear us!" He said
"You're the one making all the noise!"
"Shhhh!"
They finally made it upstairs. They walked to his bedroom in the large hallway
"I'm thirsty."
"Dude now?! My dad will see you! Come on go to my room. I'll get you water." He said.
He went back downstairs, his dad was in the kitchen
Oh no…He thought. He ran back upstairs. But he banged his foot on the couch and let out a Yelp of pain.
He didn't realize that he yelled.
"Hello?" Yakko said.
He ran upstairs
Yakko walked into the living room and saw two pairs of shoes on the floor. He was confused, so he went to the front door to put them in the front. But—then he realized that nobody was home except him, Steven was at school, Wakko or Dot wasn't here. He walked upstairs with the two pairs of sneakers in his gloved hands. He went to his bedroom and put his hand on the handle.
"Dad's coming!"
"How do you know?"
"You know my hearing is more sensitive with Warner ears. Go hide!" He said.
Steven ran and his in the bathroom. Victor hid in the closet.
Yakko went to the closet. Victor saw a mallet sitting in the corner. So when Yakko opens the door Vic whacked him in the head with it and he passed out.
Steven ran out and saw the mallet in Victor's hands and his father on the floor.
"ויקטור, אתה מטורף?!"
(Victor, are you insane?!)
Steven spoke in Hebrew. His friend understood a lot of it from going over to Steven's house every day. And he heard the conversations with Steven and his parents.
"WHAT DID YOU WANT ME TO DO?!"
"אוי לא! נונונונונו! לא!"
(Oh no! Nononoonono! NO!)
"Vic! What. Did. You DO?!"
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"
Steven and Victor both dragged him to his bedroom and put him into bed.
"Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's just leave him here, he can sleep it off," Victor said.
"You're an IDIOT!" He said
"What why?"
"Because when he wakes up and finds out that I'm not in school! He's gonna yell at me! I'm Hebrew! We need to go to my first cousin's house! His name is Bar."
"Are you sure he lives here and not TEL AVIV?!"
"Yes, he lives here. And my mom's family lives in JERUSALEM!"
"Okay CHILL!" He said.
They got out of the room. Steven closed the door
"So… do we just sit here?" Victor asked.
"No. We can go to the studio."
"Are you crazy!" He said.
"What?!"
"If the studio calls my dad and if he doesn't answer. We're going to be in trouble." He said.
"Calm down we can—" then he hears the office phone downstairs. Victor and Steven ran downstairs and went to the office and saw the caller I.D on the little screen that said Burbank High school.
"What do we do?!" Steven asked.
Victor pressed accept and it went to speakerphone.
"Um….. this is Warner Bros Studios. This is Rob Paulsen how can I help you?"
Victor glared at him and mouthed.
'Rob Paulsen?!'
Steven nodded nervously.
"Rob Paulson? your my favorite voice actor!"
"Yeah, hey."
"What are you doing at the Warner's?"
"Um… I'm… just checking up on him."
Then they hear a knock on the door.
Victor went to check who it was. He almost screamed.
He ran back.
"It's your mom!"
"What?! Why doesn't she have a key!" He asked.
"I don't know-"
"יאקו הכניס אותי לשכחתי את המפתח שלי!"
(Yakko let me in I forgot my key!)
"Oh, man…."
"Yakko!"
"You open the door and run. You understand?"
"Why can't you do it?"
He still had the phone up to his chest.
"Because I'm on the phone with Warner Bros!"
"Well hang up!"
"I can't hang up!"
"Oh my god, Steven!-"
"Yakko Warner!"
"Um…." He cleared his throat to make it sound more believable.
"אני בא! אממ ... .. מציצת פיפי צריך לתת לחוץ!"
(I'm coming! um….. peepee suck needs to be let outside!)
"PEEPEE SUCK is a CAT!" Victor said.
"Victor stop! We have to-"
"What?"
"She left the front door."
"How can you tell?"
"My hearing is sensitive you dolt!" He said.
"BWAHHHHHH!"
Steven laughed.
"Is that from Foster's?!" He asked.
"Yeah." He laughed.
They hear the back door open.
"Oh god!"
Shai walked inside. She was mad. She was on a plane for three hours coming back from New York.
"יאקו? איפה אתה?"
(Yakko, where are you?)
"Um…. Shalom…" Victor waved.
"Vic! What are you!- oh hi… אִמָא (mom) what's up? How was your flight?"
"למה אתה לא בבית הספר?"
(Why aren't you at school)
"Before you get mad. I have a very good expansion."
Shai gasped.
"סטיבן, העין שלך! מה קרה?"
(Steven, your eye! What happened?)
"School happened…." He coughed
"איפה אבא שלך?"
(Where's your dad?)
"הוא ... יָשֵׁן. אתה לא צריך להטריד אותו! הוא עייף מאוד!"
(He's…. sleeping. you should not bother him! he's very tired!) Steven lied.
Shai nodded.
"אמא שלך יודעת שאתה כאן ויקטור?"
(Does your mom know your here Victor?) she asked.
"No, she doesn't."
"Well, we have to call her."
"Nononono! Mrs. Warner, please! She doesn't know that I'm here."
Shai smiled and nodded. She took her suitcase upstairs to her and Yakko's bedroom. She opens the door silently not to wake him. She put her suitcase, she walked over to Yakko's side of the bed and kissed his head.
"Get some rest Yak."
Back downstairs, Steven took off his Tune Squad jersey that had a bit of blood on it.
"אִמָא. Can I ask you a question?"
"בסדר, מה השאלה שלך?"
(Okay, what's your question?)
"האם אתה…. אתה אוהב אותי?"
(Do you…. do you love me?)
"Of course I love you! Why do you think that?!"
"Because some kids at school think that you or אַבָּא (dad) don't love me enough because…. Because I'm a dumb stupid 'Toon!"
"מה?! מי אמר את זה?"
(What?! who said that?)
"ג'-ג'ייקוב ..."
(J-Jacob…)
"הילד שקשה לך?!"
(The boy who's been giving you a hard time?)
"הוא קרא לי אמא אינקספלוט! הוא בעצם אמר שאני ציור! אתה יודע כמה זה כואב ?! "
(He called me Inksplot mom! he said that I'm a drawing! you know how much that hurts?!)
Shai hugged him and kissed his head.
"מחר אנחנו יורדים לבית הספר ואומרים זאת למנהל! זה לא בסדר!"
(Tomorrow we are going down to the school and telling the principal this! this is not okay!)
Yakko groaned and opened his eyes a few hours later.
"Man…. My head…" he said. He got up and held his head. He walked downstairs and saw Shai and Steven sitting together. He smiled and forgot all about the pain.
The next day. Steven and Shai both went to Burbank Highschool together. Shai parked then she got out with Steven. Steven wore a black Warner Bros. T shirt. He grabbed his Pokémon backpack and slung it on his shoulder. Then they both went into the school together.
Steven saw everyone staring at him. Their body language said it all. They didn't want a "stupid Inksplot" in their school. And he knew it.
"אִמָא…"
(Mom?)
"אנחנו כמעט שם בסדר מותק?"
(We're almost there okay honey?)
Steven nodded.
They went to the principal's office. The secretary saw them.
"Hi. We're here to see Mr. B." Shai said.
I hope he's free…. Steven thought.
He was free and he let them in.
The Toon sat next to his mom.
"Hello, Mrs. Warner, Steven." He said.
"Hello Mr. B. We have a problem." Shai said.
"About the fight in the cafeteria? I know all about that and I already suspended Jacob."
"Thank you." Shai said
"ראה, סטיבן. הוא כבר הושעה, בסדר." Shai told him
(See, Steven. he already got suspended, your okay.)
Steven nodded.
"אני פשוט לא רוצה להיות כאן עכשיו. האם אנחנו יכולים ללכת הביתה?"
(I just don't want to be here right now. can we go home?)
"סטיבן."
(Steven)
"Please, אִמָא!"
Shai sighed.
"טוב בסדר. אכפת לנו מהבריאות הנפשית שלך. בוא נחזור הביתה."
(Well, okay. we do care about your mental health. let's go back home)
"תודה אמא."
(Thanks mom)
They got out of school together and went on with their day.
