September 2001
Hello, I'm Yakko Warner, I am Twenty-two years old, I looked the same as I was in his show which ended four years ago, I was on my way to a Barnes and Noble to get a cup of hot chocolate and probably buy a book or a few books about Cartoon Cartoons—the show he watches since it's debut in 1995 with my siblings and we all loved and appreciate all the hard work and dedication they did at Cartoon Network Studios.
I walk inside the book store. I went to the section that he was looking for and went got the stuff he wanted. Then I went to a Starbucks to get myself that hot chocolate I was talking about.
I paid and was about to go to sit down. Then I bumped into a woman.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I said
"Oh, it's alright." The woman said, turning her head, the woman had pretty brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. she was dressed in pink short shorts and a white blouse. She had silver earrings and she wore a mini Star Of David necklace around her neck.
I stared at her for a moment, I look into her beautiful blue eyes. The woman stared back, she was staring at the most handsome man in the universe or something! I manage to say something. "Oh, I'm so sorry Ma'am," I said as I still stared at her like an idiot. "Oh, It's alright." she had an accent.
"Hello, I'm Shai."
"Hi... I'm Yakko." I said trying not to jump into the woman's arms and shout something ridiculous.
"So where are you from?" I asked.
"I'm from Israel." She said
"Are you visiting?"
"Yes."
"For how long?"
"For a month, I have a family member who lives in California, his name is Bar," she said.
"Oh, okay. so... wanna.. wanna maybe hang out?" I asked her.
The woman put a strand of brown hair and puts it behind her ear.
I slapped myself. So he wasn't about to start drooling in the middle of Barnes and Noble's Starbucks!
I drank my hot chocolate, they, together stood in awkwardness.
After a long silence, Shai said; "What is your job?"
"I... I was an actor for Warner Bros."
"Ohhhhh, fun! I just work for my dad back in Jerusalem."
"Oh, cool. what do you do?" I asked.
"I work at a restaurant. But I"m here with my friends. We are on vacation too."
"Oh, awesome!" I said.
"Well, I'll see you around."
"Wait!" she said grabbing my furry arm.
I blushed hard as she held my arm.
"Can... I maybe, have your number?"
"Sure," she said taking out her black Alcatel. I took out his silver Motorola.
Shai took his phone from him and put in her phone number.
I put in his phone number, then they exchanged numbers.
"Thank you Yakko," she said
"No problem, thank you," I said. he saw her leave the Starbucks section.
I drank my hot chocolate witch was now warm. then he walked to get more Cartoon Network books, I got some on The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and others.
I walked to the cashier and paid for my books. a nice lady with white hair was smiling at him.
"Hi, find everything okay?"
the woman asked.
I smiled.
"Yes, I did."
I was still feeling the effects of that woman from earlier, I had her number, maybe I can give her a call tomorrow. I walked out of the bookstore. and walked back to my car. he decided to go to In-N-Out burger in Las Angles.
I pulled out his phone and called Wakko and Dot.
Dot Warner was eighteen years old, they were still living up in the water tower in the Studio lot. "Hey, Yakko." Dot said.
"Hey, Dot. do you and Wakko want anything from In-N-Out?" I asked my sister.
"Yeah!" she said
"Hey, Wakko! Yakko's getting In -N-Out. you want anything?" Wakko Warner was nineteen, he didn't look much different. he's gotten a little bit chubbier. he wore a LAKERS jersey with jeans. he was sitting on the couch. he had a SEGA genesis controller in his gloved hands, Wakko was playing Sonic the Hedgehog on it.
Wakko looks over at her. "What?" he asked.
She turned to him and asked again. "In-N-Out burger, you want anything from there?" Dot asked.
"Can I have my burger?" Wakko asked his little sister
"Yeah." Dot said Wakko was still paying
"Aw, come on Robuttnick!" he said as he tried to move Sonic in to attack him.
"Hey, Wakko, didn't you beat Robuttnick already?" Dot asked
"Yes, but Yakko accidentally unplugged my game when I was in the bathroom yesterday and I had to restart Green Hill Zone all over again," Wakko said.
"Oh." Dot said.
"Heck yes!" he said
After I talked to my sibs. he went to an In-N-Out burger. He drove to the drive-thru and ordered their food, Yakko then ordered.
"Welcome to In-N-Out burger how can I help you?" the man asked through the speaker at the drive-thru.
"Hi, could I get the Warner Brothers meal?" I asked. after he got his order, then he drove to the window. I grabbed my food and drove up to the window. my phone starts ringing he took it out of his pocket and saw the name. It was Shai.
"Hey, Shai," he said.
"Hey, Yakko, would you like to come with me and my friends to the park today?" she asked.
"Sure, can my siblings come?" he asked.
"Yeah, they can, I would love to meet your siblings!" she said, I smiled.
"Alright, what time. because... uhhhhhhh, I didn't bring enough cheeseburgers for all of us," I said.
"Oh, it's alright. But again, I didn't eat either. maybe I'm going to head over to the mall and get some sushi," she said
"Oh, okay cool," he said as I smiled and drove to the Warner movie lot.
Ralph let me in. I parked my car and went to the ladder with my books in a bag as he starts climbing it.
I reached the top and opened the door. Dot was on the couch playing Sonic The Hedgehog two with Wakko. while he was drinking a bottle of water. I left the WB-shaped door open as he took out the books and set them on the kitchen counter.
"Hey, sibs." I said
"Hey Yakko." Wakko said
"Guys, I met someone!" I exclaimed, with a huge smile on my face.
Wakko smiled.
"Oh who?"
"Oh, brother..." Dot sighed.
"Yes, sister sibling?" I said jokingly,
Dot laughed, I still knew how to make them laugh even when their show has ended four years ago.
"Where's our food?" Dot asked.
"Your food is in the car, how about we get out of the water tower for a while and go to the park."
"Faboo! I'm bringing my basketball!" Wakko said, getting his basketball and shooting it.
I caught it with my hands and smiled.
"Now, now sib, what did I say?" I said with a wag of my finger like Sonic does in the intro when you start up the SEGA genesis.
"No throwing basketballs in the house..." he said, his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
"Good boy!" I pet his head.
Dot smiled and put her phone into her pocket. then they went out of the water tower.
we climbed down the water tower and went into my 2001 silver mustang.
I bought it when the car first launched. I loved this car, I even let my sibs drive it.
Once, Wakko was driving home from a basketball game, and he crashed my Mustang, Wakko knew that I was going to be furious with him, it wasn't a small crash either. Some idiot didn't look where he was going and crashed into the middle Warner. when I got the call from Wakko he was crying hysterically, telling me to not be mad at him over the car.
But I didn't he was glad that my baby brother was safe, that all that mattered. I can get a car replaced, but you can't replace family.
I started up his car and they went to the park.
We made it to the park. there was a kids section for swings, a teeter-totter, a merry-go-round, and a picnic table for adults to relax. but they weren't here for 'relaxing' they were here for fun!
Another section was for the older kids. a basketball court stood with four to six people playing on it.
Wakko was bouncing the basketball up and down on the sidewalk as they were walking. I held the food in my hands. He walked over to the basketball court to play with Wakko.
I set the bags down and they played a quick game before Shai came.
I went to a bench and put the bag down and he played with his brother.
Wakko saw me walk up and he smiled.
"Hey, Yakko!" Wakko said, tongue sticking out I smiled.
After our game, we went to a picnic table and waited for Shai and her friends.
Then Shai went to the park, they were unsure where they were so they look for them. Just then, they found them, Shai saw me with a short, skinny woman and a tall chubby man with a red hat his tongue was sticking out. She smiled.
"Hey, Yakko!" she said, sitting next to him. "Hi Shai," I said unwrapping my burger.
"Oh, you gotta burger?" Shai asked
"Yeah, we have our own burger," I said.
"That's awesome!" said Shai.
"Yeah," he said as he ate his fries and dipped them into buffalo sauce. Shai started on her food I smiled and blushed. so, this was a date?
Shai smiles and looks at me. Then, she studied me.
his adorable ears, his cute tail, his cute white face completed with those buttons for eyes. he was just perfect. an angel out of heaven, nothing was wrong with him. Shai thought
Just then. I jumped into her arms. Shai was surprised but, she liked it.
"Heloooooo nurse!" I said giving her a sloppy kiss on the lips.
She laughs and blushed, then to my surprise, she starts petting my head. I smiled and closed my eyes, I was liking this... very much. after a few minutes of that, I opened my eyes and saw her. dang, she was beautiful. Tan skin, her gorgeous brown hair glowing in the sunlight. man she was so pretty to look at it was unchaining! Yakko snap out of it! she's gonna think your a weirdo or something! who was I kidding? I was always weird, I'm Yakko Warner for heaven's sake! I was zany to the max with blongna in my slacks!
(I didn't mean that to rhyme)
Shai laughed and stared at him more. her beautiful pools of blue staring deep into my soul burning a hole into it!
The next couple of days we hung out with each other more and more, I was beginning to like the woman. And she was beginning to like me. But, what about her friends Marav, Dana, and Gal? she didn't want them to think that she left them in the dust for the whole month to go hang out with an actor that she knew was going to cheat on her with another woman.
But, then again. He would never do that... Would he? she got out of her thoughts as he made it to the address. it was a movie lot in Burbank. Did he live here? she thought as her taxi drove up to the gate, it was six in the evening, the sun was setting and it looked so beautiful, the reds and oranges blending in with the dark mountains and the Hollywood sign were absolutely a breathtaking sight to see.
She took out her phone and took a picture of it.
When she got to the water tower, the taxi stops and she handed him the cab fare.
Shai looks up. did they live here? was it even safe for them? she waited as Yakko climbed down the ladder. he was dressed in a black suit and white tie like on the show. But he was wearing back dress shoes, Shai blushed.
"You look adorable," she told him.
I smiled, then she took my hand.
"So, where do you want to go first?" Shai asked.
"How about dinner in Beverly Hills?" I asked.
"Yakko, aren't the restaurants in Beverley Hills expensive?" Shai asked.
"Yeah, but remember. I have the money," I said as I went to his car and opened the door for her.
"Thank you," she said. I smile and went into the driver's seat then started the car. then they drove out of the movie lot.
We drove to Beverley Hills. I didn't notice her appearance. her brown hair was tied up in a bun, she was wearing a pretty black dress with black heels. she had a small red purse that was on her lap. she was the most beautiful person on earth right now. but he didn't want to admit that to her. I stopped the car at a nice restaurant.
"Yakko, This place is way too fancy," Shai said. I smiled and went to the other side and opens the car door.
"Thank you," I said as she blushed. I smiled and blushed.
Yakko looked and saw most of the food was $50.00.
"This is too much," Shai said.
"Don't worry about it," Yakko said.
"Okay.." Shai said.
We both sat down. we looked at the on-table menu. I chose the prime rib steak with broccoli, mashed potatoes, and Coke Zero. Shai chose the smoked salmon with a side of salad and Sprite Zero.
We finish eating their main courses and move on to dessert.
"The dessert menu has a strawberry truffle, a chocolate dirt cake, and seventeen macaroons." The waiter says.
"We will take the strawberry truffle!" Shai says.
"Alright, Ma'am," he said walking away
Then, the waiter came back with the strawberry truffle and it looked amazing. I ate half and Shai ate half.
"That was so good," Shai said
"I know right?!" I said.
We go out of the restaurant, we both got into my car and went to a movie theater in Burbank.
AMC theaters were packed that night. I opened the door for Shai.
"Thanks," she said they went inside, got their tickets for Monsters Inc.
"This is gonna be so good, I've seen trailers of it," I said
"Oh, you have, well. here's a problem we have back at home, we get everything last!" she said
"Wait, what?" I asked.
"We don't get everything first like in America. Let's say... your show for example. we didn't get it in 1993, the first episode aired in 1994!" Shai said.
"Wait, what why?" I asked.
"I don't know, but I think it's ridiculous!" she said
"It is ridiculous," I said
Shai nods.
We went inside the theater and we watched the movie.
Two hours later, we got out of the movie.
"I had an amazing time with you Yakko," Shai told him.
"Really?" I asked, blushing.
Shai smiled "Yeah, I did." we both hugged and went our separate ways.
September 2001
"Hey, Yakko can you help me with these?" Dot asked holding up her rollerblades. we were in the movie lot but we were outside the tower, sitting on the steps of the Warner Bros. Administrations' office.
"Sure, sib." I smiled as I helped her with putting on her rollerblades. Dot stood up. I helped her. We were going rollerblading today around Hollywood. Dot was excited that her brothers wanted to come. but Wakko needed to check something. so they had to wait for him. We all had sneakers on them in our backpacks
We then hit the streets to rollerblade.
Wakko laughed, he was enjoying himself as he was skating down the streets of Hollywood. They all went to Hollywood Boulevard, Wakko bumped into a man.
"Aw poo! I am so sorry," he said, it was his Dad, Noah Warner.
"Hey, Daddoo. what are you doing here?" I asked. Noah laughed as I grab his gloved hand and pull him up.
"Are you okay?" Wakko asked.
"Yes, I'm fine," he said
"Hey, where's Dot?" he asked, not seeing his daughter anywhere.
"I'm here," she said rollerblading around me and Wakko.
Noah smiled and hugged her. Dot smiled and laughed.
"Hey, dad. where's mom?" he asked
"She's parking."
"Oh, okay."
Just then, our mom came with her BMX bike.
"Hey, guys," Shirrel said
"Hey, mom." I rollerbladed to her and kissed her cheek.
She smiled.
"What are you guys doing in L.A?" Dot asked
"Oh, you know, we don't have any work for today, so we decided to take a trip here." their mother explained.
"Oh, faboo," Wakko said, tongue sticking out. Noah pulls out a pack of Pokémon cards, they were E-series cards. Noah puts it back in his pocket, he was going to open them once he got back to San Fransisco. I smiled that he gets to hang out with my sibs. and, unexpectedly, my parents.
The first thing we did was go to a Louis Vuitton in Las Angles.
Dad got a watch with a skull in the face. then we went to a Nike store. I got a pair of Nike's and a black LAKERS T-shirt. I decided to buy something for Shai also. so I bought her a LAKERS SnapBack and a yellow LAKERS jersey with matching shorts. It was my way of saying. 'Welcome to Los Angles!'
"So you have a girlfriend now?" my father asked. I spit out my water and coughed a little.
"No! dad, she's just a friend!" I said as he coughed more.
Noah pats him on the back. Dot rolled her eyes.
"Boys... go fig."
I looked at his sister and smiled.
"Can we go to a skatepark Yakko?" Wakko asked.
"Yeah, are you okay with that Dot?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm fine with it," she said.
Once they got to the skatepark in Hollywood we started skating and rollerblading. Kids saw us as we were having fun.
"Hey look, it's the Warner's!" a boy said.
"Hey, guys." I smiled as he signed autographs and took pictures with fans.
We went skateboarding, Noah started doing tricks on his wife's bike.
I smiled and he starts doing tricks on his rollerblades, the kids join them. And the Warner family joined them too.
After we were done with that we went to eat pizza. we got a large pie with pepperoni and extra cheese.
Wakko tried the whole thing. Noah stopped him
"Wak, no."
"Why?"
"Because your mummy is getting your pizza, just for you," Noah said. Yakko gripped his shoulders and shook him. he made a long uhhhhh sound as he did. Dot and Noah both laughed when I stopped. he 'passed out
"He died." I laughed, Dot shuffled her feet onto the floor, she changed into her sneakers, which were squeaking on the tile floor.
Then, Shirrel got the pizzas.
"Okay kids." she placed them on the table. as we dug in.
Wakko ate his in one gulp.
We all laughed as they ate our pizza.
"Jeez, Wakko!" I said. we all laughed again, as they ate their food.
Then we went to the arcade.
We walked inside, we all got tokens, even our parents got tokens as we played in the arcade for a couple of hours.
I was playing ski ball, getting as many tickets as I could, I was eyeing that stuffed Pikachu on the prize wall. and Ski Ball was the top of my list. I pulled out a token, I got a ball and I played. getting as many balls into the holes as possible. (Goodnight everybody!) before the time runs out and I have to play again.
After fifteen minutes or something, I went to another game, it was a shooter, Wakko was playing the game with a boy.
"Your good!" the boy told Wakko.
"Thanks, mate!" he said giving him a thumbs up with his gloved hand.
the boy laughed. "Wanna play another round?!" the boy asked.
"Heck yeah!" he said, they played another round.
Dot was busy at the wheel trying to get as many tickets as she could get. She got over a thousand tickets but she wanted more so she could get her hands on that toy helicopter for Wakko so he can fly it around the studio. plus it had real lasers! so, he can annoy Mr. Plotz if he wanted to! Dot got all the tickets she needed. but she wanted more! so she held them in her hands and walked up to the counter.
"Um, exqueeze me could you hold my tickets? I don't have any more room." Dot said. She went to the prizes and got Wakko that helicopter.
She was going to surprise Wakko with it once they got back to the studio.
"Sure, give us your tickets and we'll hold them for you." the employee said.
"Okay." Dot said she handed them all her tickets. She saw Yakko still at the Ski ball thingy so she went to join her brother.
After that, it was time to go, but. we got our prizes. Dot got her prize. I got something for Shai, I hoped she liked cute squishy toys. so I got her a couple and some candy for her as well and a rainbow slinky for myself. then they went back to the Warner Brothers lot.
I opened the door and they went inside. "Hey, Wakko. gotcha a present." Dot said.
"Oh, awesome! what did you get me?" her brother said.
"This!" she pulls it out. Wakko had joy in his eyes as he saw it.
"AHHHHH! A TOY HELICOPTER! With real lasers?! AWESOME! Hey, Yakko wanna play with me outside? we can race helicopters around the lot!"
"DO I?!" i said as i got my toy helicopter from our shared bedroom. it was sitting on my shelf with the red and white remote control.
We all went down the water tower.
"Alright, ready, set, GO!" we raced our helicopters. my helicopter was in the lead. Wakko's helicopter reached my helicopter pretty fast.
"Wait where are we racing to?" Wakko asked. Dot put his shirt over his head.
"Dude! I can't see!" he said as he crashed it into a window, thankfully the window didn't break. Or the helicopter.
"Dot, no! Yakko beat me!" Wakko said. I cheered and he danced. Dot laughed and looks at her brother pouting at him.
"You lost! how does that—OW!" Wakko was on the ground clenching his nuts in pain. he groaned and I laughed.
Just then, a window to the administrations' office. Thaddeus Plotz saw them and glares down at us and our 'annoying shenanigans,' "WHAT ARE YOU WARNER'S DOING?!" Plotz said, we cringed and saw him.
"Nothing..." we all said.
"Come up to my office NOW!" he said.
"Come on guys, before he blows," I said as they went up to the Administrations's office.
"ALRIGHT, YOU THREE. WHY DO YOU KEEP MESSING UP STUDIO PROPERTY." Plotz said annoyed at our actions in the studio for years.
"ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR STUPID MONEY!" Dot said.
"Calm down, Dot," I said.
"I DONT CARE YAKKO! PLOTZ IS ALWAYS BOSSING US AROUND AND I CAN'T STAND IT!" Dot cried.
"BUT YOU GUYS ARE IN YOUR TWENTIES! YOU SHOULD BE MATURE!"
"Exsqueeze me, what does "ma-to-ree" mean?" I asked.
"SEE! HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT MATURE MEANS! YOU ARE ALL ADULTS AND YOU ARE STILL LIVING IN THE STUDIO!" Plotz says.
"SO? MATURE OR NOT MATURE, YOU SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE THE SAME." Wakko says.
"Alright, YOU ALL HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER. IF NOT, I WILL HAVE TO FIRE YOU ALL." Plotz yells at them.
"NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE. NOW!" Plotz says.
We run out, then Dot starts to slowly cry.
"I wish we can fire stupid Plotz.." Wakko said in anger. "I just want to whack him with my mallet!"
"I can try.." I say.
then they think for a few minutes to come up with a plan.
"CORPORATE!" Dot and Wakko say in sync.
We all went to Warner Bros corporate.
I walked to the door and opened it, the building was a very nice place, marble floors, a large beautiful crystal chandler hung on the ceiling, we looked around and walked up to the front desk.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A lady asked.
"Hi, we need to speak to someone," I said they went to the elevator and went up to the office.
Wakko knocks on the door
"Come in," he said.
"Oh, hello kids," he said, we walk inside and saw a man sitting at his desk.
"Hello," I said.
"What can I do for you guys today?" the man said. he had tan skin. he had a nice white smile, Green eyes and brown hair he had a watch on his wrist and a blue suit and black tie.
"Hi, I'm so sorry we have to barge in like this without an appointment, but..." Dot breathed in and out and continued. "We need your help."
Jacob Malone was the higher-up in charge of Warner Bros Studios. he loves the Warners deeply, ever since they've arrived at the studio in 1990. Something about them made him like them. A lot.
The man smiled.
"What do you guys need help with?" Jacob asked.
"We can't take it anymore with Plotz's buttfaced stuff! it's gone way too far!" Dot said. her brothers agreed.
Jacob sighed. "What did he do this time?"
"Well. we were playing with our helicopters and—"
Jacob cut them off.
"Did you say, helicopters?"
"There toys," I said.
Jacob understood.
"Okay. So, what's the problem?"
he asked. pulling out his phone and putting it onto his desk.
"We want him fired!"
"He doesn't appreciate us!"
"If he doesn't get let go we're moving out!" I said. My sibs agreed. we can't stand Plotz! how can the cast from Animaniacs stand him?! he has to go! if I hear or see his face again I'm gonna scream! or I'm gonna vandalize his car or his office. one of the two. I smiled to myself at that.
"I can give him a warning Yakko, but you kids have to understand something, he Doesn't leave for another twenty years, if you wish to leave the Studio and find you all houses we can do that for you. how does that sound?" Jacob asked.
After the meeting with Jacob, we all agreed.
We went back up to the water tower and looked for places online.
I found a house close to the studio on the market for only two million dollars.
I then called my dad.
"Hey Dad," I said when he picked up the phone.
"Hey, Yakko, what's up?"
"We're planning on moving out of the studio and... we need help moving and stuff like that. so can you help us?" he asked him.
After that, we finished our talk and we would get to work on it.
Dad was a flexible Toon so he was able to work his job. and find a house for us in a couple of months. I was really happy about this because I was finally going to get out of the studio. But—Steven. How are we going to tell Steven? we have to tell him eventuality, right? we were not good at this, not at all. maybe we can wait it out. waiting it out was a good idea, right?
The next day. we were all bored.
"So guys what do you wanna do today?" I asked
"I don't know..." Wakko said playing Mortal Kombat on his SEGA Genesis.
"I have an idea!" Dot said, I perked up and smiled at his sister.
"Hey guys, you know those lightsabers, Mom gave us for our birthdays last year?" I asked. "Yeah?" Dot said, Wakko paused his game and perks up.
"We can play Star Wars!" I told my sibs.
We all grabbed our lightsabers, I had the red one. Wakko had a blue one and Dot had a green one. We all went down the ladder and we found a place to play in. We saw the perfect place—One of the soundstages!
We get to soundstage three and checked if people were inside. we didn't see anyone so they went inside farther, we didn't see the camera equipment and started fighting each other, making the lightsaber noises from the movies. But what they didn't know their director, Steven, was filming for a movie on soundstage four. we got into their fighting positions.
"Luke, I am your father!" I said.
"NO, THIS CAN'T BE!" Wakko yells.
"And I am your mother!" Dot said.
"NOOOOO YOU FREAKING TRADERS!" Wakko charged at them and we started to fight each other. Their battle continued. Wakko and Dot going at each other as I was trying to hit his brother. Then a minute later something went wrong. Wakko knocks over a film crew camera.
"Uh oh... Ohhhh, beebee baabaa Wakko's in trubleeeeee!" i and Dot said in unison.
"Be quiet guys!" Wakko hissed at us
"W-We have to hide this," he said pointing to the broken camera that was now on the floor.
Dot and I looked at him.
"Guys we have to hide this!" Wakko said again, bending down and picking it up he put it somewhere, but when he was about to put it away. Someone enters. it was Plotz and Steven.
"AHHHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU THREE NUNCANCES DOING IN HERE!?" Plotz asked
"Playing Star Wars?" I asked, we grinned sheepishly.
"GO TO MY OFFICE NOW! ALL THREE OF YOU!" Plotz screamed at us.
We all ran, dropping our lightsabers as we bolted out of the soundstage and went to Warner. Bros Administration.
"I am so sorry, Thaddeus. I'll clean this up, and talk to them after you talk to them. and please go easy on them, they're just kids." Steven said.
Plotz closed the door to his office, he was fuming with rage. this was our third strike. I remember the first one well. it was a couple of months before I met Shai, we were bored with nothing to do. so we decided to play baseball and I hit the ball too hard and broke Scratchnsniff's car window, Dr. Scratchnsniff was very angry at us for breaking the back window of his car—and we had to pay for it!
"YOU WARNER'S ARE OUT OF THE STUDIO! YOU HEAR ME?!" Plotz said.
He couldn't even talk at this point, he was so upset that he had nothing else to say to us about this. then he found something to say; "I want your bags packed and out of the studio by sundown! do you understand?!"
We nodded our heads. we walked out. I hugged my sibs, Dot started to cry again. They were both shaking at this point. we were terrified by this. were we going to become homeless? living on the streets. I didn't even want to think of it!
Just then I got a call from mom.
"Hey, I'm just checking in. what's going on?"
"Mom! we got thrown out!" I said, trying to keep his cool, but his sibs were losing their minds right now, how could I keep calm in this situation?! we just got KICKED OUT of our home! the home that we lived in for eight years!
"What?! that's whack! what happened?"
"Well... we were playing on a soundstage and we... knocked down a camera," I confessed.
After a talk with my mother. we all walked to the water tower. then Steven stopped us.
"Hey, Yakko. can I talk to you?" my director asked.
I nodded my head and we both went somewhere private.
"Now, Yakko. I'm not mad at you or your sibs. Do you understand me?" he asked
"We're sorry, Steven! we are! we didn't mean to do it, we were just bored!" I was rambling at this point.
Steven stopped him and gave me a hug. I stopped talking as I accepted the embrace from my director, I haven't cried since Wakko's movie—and that was just acting!
I let some tears come out of my eyes as I held my director tightly, Steven rubs my back in a way of comforting me, I was scared at this point. We didn't have anywhere to go, we had money but, this was their home away from San Francisco. I've never felt like this in a long time, I'm a normally happy and upbeat person but now, I'm scared, sad and he doesn't know what to do at the point.
I then called Shai. she was staying until the twenty-fourth of October.
"Shai?" I asked.
"Hey, Yakko. what's up?"
I sighed.
"Yakko, are you okay?"
"Yes—no. I'm not, we're in big trouble," I said mentioning both me and my sibs. "What's wrong?" Shai asked.
"We need a place to crash for a few days... our boss kicked us out of Warner Brothers."
"Oh no! of course, you can stay with us at our apartment! But I'll only be staying for the month. I leave on the twenty-fourth next month." Shai said.
"That's fine, were buying houses in Burbank anyway. Thank you so much, Shai. I'll see you in an hour." he said as he hung up, I smiled. I had a place for me and my sibs to say for a few weeks.
I smiled as I went up to the tower and we start packing, we probably don't need the triple bunk bed anymore because we were probably going to sleep in the guest room anyway.
I sighed as I put our stuff into my car, we were probably going to make two trips back because we just had so much stuff. I picked up my paintball gun and looked at it. it was a gift from Steven so we could go to a paintball field next to the Studio lot in Burbank and play with other kids, teens, and adults alike who also liked the sport as much as us. we don't rent out the field just for them, others can play as well.
I put my stuff in my car and Wakko's too. we had until sundown, so we had... five hours and thirty-four minutes to get their stuff and vamoose—I just couldn't believe that Plotz is doing this to us! It was pathetic of him to do this! I closed the trunk then I went inside of my car and went to Shai's apartment. with was her cousin—Bar.
I got out, it was a large and beautiful apartment building in Las Angles. it had two complexes I walked inside the left one, and I saw that it had a gym, an indoor swimming pool, a game room, and a lounge, I went to the elevator and pressed a button it opened and he stepped inside. A man walked out with basketball shorts and a black tank top I went into the elevator dragging his suitcase into it. I had to make like twenty or something trips, but I'm cool with that. I walked inside then pressed the twenty-fourth floor. when I got there, I saw that the door was wide open, I smelled food in the apartment, I knocked on the door and walked inside.
Shai had music playing it sounded foreign, he's never heard it before. then he heard a radio station and the woman called it. galgalatz. I thought about it and maybe it's their radio station there. I walked inside and saw a large dog and the dog starts barking. "בלה. תרגע"
the man yelled in another language.
(Bella, calm down!)
"Hello!" I said.
The man looks up. Bar Isaac was just an average man. he wore jeans, a white T-shirt and he had a red LA baseball cap on his head covering his black hair. a large tattoo, of roses, skulls, a large Harley Davidson, the flag of Israel, and a bunch of roses around the skulls were covering his left arm and it went down to his hand. he had some facial hair and blue eyes, like Shai's. the man flashed a white smile.
"Hello," he said walking up to me and shaking my hand.
"Hi, I'm Yakko Warner, Shai's friend."
"Oh, so you the Toon that is going to be staying with me?" he asked.
"If that's okay with you. we got kicked out of our home with nowhere to go so—" I looked down, the dog was licking his... spot
"Bella! no!" Bar said as he took her by the collar and put her in his bedroom.
"I am so sorry, she's very friendly and she'll lick anyone's kiwis!" He said.
"Yeah, so I and my sibs were gonna stay here for a couple of weeks. I said.
"Oh, okay." Bar said smiling.
"So, where is Shai?"
"She is in the shower."
"Okay."
"Make yourself at home. get comfortable," he said
"Um, I have to get another load of our stuff but I'll see you in a bit," I said.
"Okay," he said.
Bar continued to make dinner, he had guests coming over who were his friends, Shai was okay with it, Bar explained that they were friends of his from work. he works in an office in L.A. He was jolted out of his thoughts when he saw his cousin.
"היי, שי"
(Hey, Shai) he said.
"מה קורה"
(What's up?)
"אה, אתה יודע. בדיוק יצא מהמקלחת. יאקו היה shai asked כאן?"
(Oh, you know. Just got out of the shower. Was Yakko here?)
"אה, בסדר אני ממש מתרגש שהוא יישאר איתנו."
(Oh, okay I'm excited for him to stay with us)
she said.
Back at the Warner movie lot, Wakko and Dot were all packed up and ready, they were all set before six also. so they were ready to leave, they all said goodbye to the cast and crew.
"Wakko, I want to give you something... to show my application towards you..." Steven told him
"Close your eyes." Wakko did, Steven went behind him and puts it over the middle warner sibling's head. he rested it there. he opened his eyes and he got an electric guitar necklace.
"Steven... this—this has got to be the best present I've ever gotten," Wakko said hugging his director.
"Dot. hold out your hands." Said Steven, Dot held out her hands. Steven placed a red box with golden script, it said to D.W—her initials. She opened the box and saw a small silver Clapperboard necklace, it had the name. the name of the company, and the show's run date on it.
"Seven... this is so thoughtful but... why?" Dot asked.
"Why not?" Steven asked.
Dot hugged him.
"Yakko, I have something for you too," Steven said.
Steven gave me a small bag. I took out what's in the bag and found a white ring box. I opened it. Inside of it, sitting in blue satin, was a Warner Bros shield diamond-studded ring—it must've costed Steven at least twenty thousand dollars.
I hugged my director.
"Thank you, Steven," I said.
After all the gifts were exchanged. we said our final goodbyes then left the studio.
I sighed and looked at the rearview mirror and saw the employees of the studio waving goodbye, even Plotz's boss, Jacob, said goodbye to the Warners' but no Plotz. he was probably in his office.
what a jerk.
From the moment we got to the Studio, Steven Spielberg immediately loved us, after he saw us and he wanted to direct a show called Animaniacs. When we got to the WB Administrations' office, we'd met Tom Ruegger—He was the man responsible for giving us a chance to make it to Hollywood in the first place! it's because of him that we got a job at Warner Bros. and now... now we have to say goodbye to all of it. we drove to the apartment building.
Bar was playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on his PlayStation 2 the table was all set up with seven people, including the Warner's that's ten people.
Just then. someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Bar said.
Wakko, Dot, and I all walked in with the last of our stuff. Wakko put his stuff down.
"Oh, hey, Yakko." Bar said.
"Heloooooo Bar!" Wakko said, Bar laughed
Dot ran in and jumped into his arms.
"Heloooooo nurse!" Dot gave him a big sloppy kiss on the lips.
"I love a man with a tattoo!"
"Please, get off me." Bar said. Dot gets off.
"Sorry," she said as she got off, I laughed at my sister and gave her a thumbs up.
Shai smiles and sat at the table.
"You want some coffee, Yakko?" Bar asked.
"I don't drink coffee. I'll have some water," I said.
Shai got a bottle of water from the fridge and handed it to him.
"Thanks." I smiled, then opened it.
"Ohhhhhh, you like her!" Wakko said. I glared and punched my little brother in the arm.
"Ow!" he whined.
"You big baby!" I said. I pantsed him showing him plaid boxer shorts
"Aw dude!" he said pulling up my blue jeans quickly. Wakko just laughed.
Shai laughed, they're very entertaining.
Bar smiled. I blushed hard with embarrassment.
I pulled Wakko's shirt over his head.
"I can't see!"
"Ha! that's what you get for pulling my pants down!" I smiled.
"You're a bloody idiot!" Wakko said in his British accent.
Bar and Shai both laughed. this was going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
I was reading my Cartoon Cartoon books on the couch. then, Bar's friends arrived.
"Hey dude." the first man was wearing red jeans and a long-sleeved white wool shirt with Nike high tops.
"Hey, Roy!" Bar said smiling, they both hugged, just then five more people showed up. ranging from men to women.
"Oh jeez! It's them the Animaniacs!" a woman said running towards the Warner Brothers and Sister.
"Heloooooo nurse!" I and Wakko both said both women smiled kindly at them.
Wakko gave the first one a sloppy kiss on the mouth. the second one just stared at them.
"Hey, Bar can I play on your PlayStation?" I asked.
"Sure," he said.
"Here, let me set it up for you," he said as he turned on the TV input. I turned on the PlayStation and begun to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater three.
"Do you have Tony Hawk's pro skater one and two?" Wakko asked
"Yeah, but wait until your brother is done playing," he said, Wakko sat next to him on the couch and I continued to play.
A few minutes later we got called to dinner. Bar stood in front of a plate with a small cup on it.
"What's that?" I asked, sitting next to Shai.
"It's called the kiddush cup."
"kiddush? what's that?" Wakko asked.
"Well, Wakko. it's—let's make this simple for you guys to understand. Shabbat is the most important day of the week for us Jewish people. It's a day we remember that God created the world in six days, but on the seventh day—which is Sunday, he rested and, just like him we also rest on Shabbat." his friend Avi told him.
"Ohhhhh," i and Dot said in unison.
I and Wakko saw the men standing up and wearing... hats?
"Exqueeze me?" I asked.
"Yes," Shai said. "Why are the men wearing those?"
Shai smiled and puts it on my head, in between my ears.
"This is called a Kippa Yakko."
I nod and grinned. Then we got to say the prayer, Bar opens a book and went to the page that he wanted then he read it. Bar then passed the cup around the table. They all took a sip. Then it went to the Warners, "Spewwwww! Do I have to drink out of other people's mouths?! What next we have to feed each other?!"
We both laughed at that.
"No, don't worry Dot we don't feed each other. we just drink out of the same cup. if you don't want to do that. you can pour it into your cup." Shai said, sitting next to the Warner Sister.
Dot nodded but denied. "I want to do it like you guys, after all, it is tradition." she said, "Can I dip my finger in it? I don't drink wine. "Sure, but it's not wine, it's grape juice," she said.
Bar then said the blessing for the challah.
When he did that, he ripped it up then he dips it salt sand threw it around the table. I caught his piece in his hands.
"Ohhhhhh! You caught it!" Wakko yelled, Wakko's piece hit him in the face. he picks it up and ate his. I ate mine as the dinner was going smoothly.
"Okay, guys." Shai pulls out the rice salad and steak that has been soaking in a pot for a few hours. "Ohhhh, that looks good!" I said.
"Yakko would you like some rice?" Shai asked.
"Yes," I said, Shai put a scoop of rice on his plate, I blocked it from my brother who was eyeing his food.
"Wakko, no! my food, you get your own."
"Hakuna matata!" Wakko said.
I looked at him with a blank expression.
"What is wrong with you?!" he asked his brother.
"Everything, I'm—no we're Zany to the max!" Wakko said I laughed.
"And I've watched Pinky and the Brain last night," he said.
"Ohhhh, are you talking about that episode titled "Welcome to the Jungle?" Dot asked
"Yeah. that episode was so good!" Wakko said.
Then we finally finished eating. we got a call from Steven.
"Hi, Steven!" I said happily.
Wakko steals the phone and says "Hi Steven!"
"What the heck?!" I asked.
I then stole my phone back.
"Hey, do you guys have somewhere to stay?" Steven says.
"Yea, we are crashing at Shai"s cousin's house," Wakko says.
"Got it. The houses you all are looking for is gonna be ready in two weeks."
"YIPPEE!" I yelled.
Wakko laughs.
"Wait how in the heck do you know that?!"
"I got a call from your mother. and she told me."
"Ohhhh okay."
"So, when are we going to get our new houses?"
"You guys are gonna get them don't worry, your parents have to put the downpayment on all of them then we'll buy you guys furniture and all the other stuff you need," Steven said
"Okay. I'll see you in a few weeks." he hung up. I sighed heavily.
"Hey, Yakko, you and your siblings' bags are in the guest room." Bar said.
"Thanks." Wakko went back to playing Tony Hawk.
Dot was watching him play.
"Wakko, when is it my turn?"
"When I finish my run!" he said Dot crossed her arms and sighed.
Everyone went home. it was a great night for all of us. We then went to bed.
I was in a local skate shop in Hollywood the next day. I'm getting my very first skateboard. I walked into the skate shop, a man wearing a beanie was sitting at the back of the store.
"Hey, dude. how can I help you?" he asked.
"What's up? listen, what's the best skateboard for beginners?" I asked
"All skateboards, you just need to practice and then you'll become a pro," he said.
"Okay. How much do they cost?" I asked
"It can cost in between seventy to one hundred dollars." the man said
"Alright, I already know which one I want," I said.
"Okay, sweet." I saw one that caught my eye. it was a red and black checkerboard one.
"Sweet, I'll set it up for you." the man said getting some supplies to fix him up, I saw what the man was doing he put some black hard stuff on the board.
"What's that?"
"This is called grip tape my friend. so your shoes can grip the board." the man said.
"Oh cool," I said.
I walked out of the Rip City Skaters skate shop with my new board that I had to pay a hundred dollars for I smiled and went to the local skatepark to skateboard.
With Wakko he was playing Call Of Duty: World At War with Bar on his PlayStation 2 Wakko was playing the Campaign while Bar watched.
"Awesome! Wak kill him!" he said there were way too many enemies they killed Wakko.
"Aw, poo!" he said throwing the controller down on the couch next to him.
Bar reached over his legs and grabbed the controller.
"Let me show you how a real pro does it!" he said as the game replays the same mission.
"Dude the only games I have are games on the genesis!"
"Did you bring your genesis?" he asked.
"It's in my room though," he said.
"Oh, okay, cool."
A few hours later, I came back with my new skateboard.
"Awesome deck." Bar said.
"Thanks," I said, I went to our shared bedroom and i put it against the nightstand next to our bed.
I walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to get a water bottle and drank it.
"Hey, where's Dot?" I asked.
"Oh, she's with Shai at the mall." Bar told him while still playing.
"So, you skate?" I asked, sitting by him on the large black couch.
"Yeah I do, but recently I busted my board in half. if you wanna take a look I have a picture of it," he said
"Sure."
Bar took his Motorola flipped it open and went to his pictures and showed me his board, it looked like the picture had been taken outside of a mall. one half was standing up. grip tape side facing the camera and one half also stood, a cool dragon on the back of the board with neon green wheels to match the background.
"Whoa, intense what trick were you trying to do?" I asked.
"I was trying to do an ollie off of a staircase at the outside of a mall. and I broke my board and I sprained my ankle." Bar said lifting his left foot to reveal his still sprained right ankle in a brace.
"Yikes, that's gotta hurt." I cringed. "How long do you have to wear the cast for?"
"Two weeks. I get it off tomorrow." Bar said.
"Jeez," I said
"I know it hurt like butt, but I'm okay." I nodded, glad that he was okay.
A few more hours go by, Dot and Shai walked in. we were all sitting down and watching SpongeBob on Nickelodeon.
"Hey, guys." Dot said.
"What's up Dot?" he asked
"I'm okay." She said.
"Hey, Yakko," Shai said
"Hi." I smiled and waved
"So, wanna go out to the skatepark with me? do you have a skateboard?"I asked.
"Yeah, I do."
"Alright, let's go," he said.
We went to the skatepark, Shai taught him how to skateboard. Shai stopped her skateboard.
"Okay, the first thing you need to learn is to push. you'll have to push with the foot that you're not using, so your right. see? like me." she said as she demonstrated for him. she took her dormant foot and puts it on the front of the board, then she took her other foot then pushed it off.
"See? now you try," she said, I tried it, and succeeded.
"Hey, I did it!" I exclaimed.
"Yay! the next step is trying to balance on your board, do the same thing you did before, push with your dominant foot, then move your hips side to side this will give you a little boost and help you feel more comfortable on your board. go ahead try it." Shai said, putting her hair up so she could skate better.
"Okay," he said doing it, he fell a few times.
"The most important thing to remember is to get up and try again. never give up," she said extending her hand out to me, helping me up.
"Thanks," I said, kicking my board up by the tail.
"Yakko, I want you to try that again alright?"
"Alright," I said as he tried again. this time he nailed it.
"Good! now, let's try some tricks."
We came back to the apartment later that day.
"Oh, where were you guys?" Wakko asked.
"She was teaching me how to skate," I said
"Ohhhhh! you have a new girlfriend and she knows how to skate!" Wakko teased.
"Oh stop it you Twinkie!"
"Hey! I'm not a Twinkie!"
"Dude, your DRESSED like a TWINKIE! look at you man! you have a yellow Spongebob shirt with his face on it with WHITE PANTS!" Yakko said. "Okay, guys please don't throw insults at each other." Dot said
"I didn't say anything, he insulted me!" Wakko pointed to his brother. Dot rolled her eyes. "Boys..." she muttered
September 2001
"Yakko, what are you doing?" Dot asked. Yakko was sitting on one of the couches outside of Bar's apartment, he was putting something on his skateboard.
"Putting stickers on my board," I said
"Ohhh, fun, what do you have?"
"I have a Looney Tunes one. an Animaniacs one, a Sonic one. Batman. others." I said, putting some wax on my board so the stickers won't get ruined when he's riding.
Then, Shai walked out. "Hey, what's up," she asked
"Hey," I said waving to her.
"Hey, Yakko. you wanna go out tonight, just you and me?"
I smiled. "Yeah, I want to make these last few weeks count when you here," I said.
"Oh, about that, I decided to stay for a few extra weeks, I can even help you move."
"Really? that's amazing!" I smiled.
"Yeah. I can help you move and buy furniture."
I said. then Shai walked behind him and hugged my neck. I blushed hard.
"S-Shai." I stuttered.
"What?" she asked.
"N-Nothing i-i I like this..."
"You do?" She asked.
I nodded and smiled.
Shai smiled and then kissed my furry cheek. I blushed, he was not expecting that.
"What?"
"Nothing, i...I'm starting to like you."
"Wait but your-"
"Jewish? so? Yakko I can date a Christian if I wanted to." she said. "Really?"
"Yes! it's not against our religion. I was raised that way."
"Really? so your parents don't care?"
"No! they don't care, they're not 'by the book' or however you want to call it."
"Oh..." he sighed in relief.
"Are... are you scared of them?" she asked.
"What?! nononononono. I'm not!" I said nervously.
"You were scared Yakko, Hey everyone! my boyfriend's a big chicken! bawk bawk bawk bawk!" she said flapping her arms. I put his hands over my face.
"Ughhhhhhhhhh! why! Wait, did you say... the 'B' word?" I asked.
"What, boyfriend?" I nodded.
"What, you don't want to be my boyfriend?" Shai asked.
"No, no. I do! but we didn't go on a date yet."
"How about tonight... we can go to a restaurant in Hollywood, then I can show you around?" I asked.
"Okay I'd like that," she said.
We got dressed, Shai did her makeup, I was dressed in a Tune Squad jersey with red jeans and I put on his white converse. then I put on my Warner Bros shield ring, put on some cologne, and grabbed my yellow hoodie with dinosaurs on it. Then I walked out of their room, Shai walks out of her room, I looked at her she was breathtaking, she was dressed in blue jeans, converse, and a blue T-shirt. Her hair has been put up.
"Hey, ready to go?" Shai asked
"Yeah," I said
When we got to Hollywood, Shai saw all the lights, cars zooming past. I parked my mustang and I let her out.
I held out my hand for her, she took it in hers. Shai smiled as I held open the door to the restaurant for her.
The place was like a sports bar, wood flooring covered the inside of the restaurant with TVs and a bar.
"Hi, how many?"
"Two," I said simply.
"Inside or outside?" the host asked.
"Outside," I said
"Alright follow me."
We were lead out the back. the man opened the door and we went to a table and sat at it.
"Alright guys, your waiter will be here shortly," he said walking off. Shai smiled and took my hand in her own.
"Sorry this isn't a 'perfect date' But I was craving burgers and nachos so, yeah," I said.
"I don't care, Yak. I'm just glad that I can spend time with you." Shai said.
"What is that? like a nickname you gave me?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's cute," Shai said.
I smiled and blushed.
We both got our drinks, then they ordered an appetizer of nachos with no beans. (I hate beans).
"These are so good!" I said, eating a chip covered in cheese and jalapeños.
"It is," Shai said
"So..." I tried to make some conversation. But, he didn't know what to say.
"How was it like working on the show." Shai decided that she would go first.
"It was a lot of fun, I loved it. never complained about it one bit!" I said with a grin.
"Oh, awesome! what was the best part about working on the show?" Shai asked.
"I loved how I and my sibs got to bond and did what we did best—was being zany!" I exclaimed. Shai laughed.
"What about all those girls you hit on in the show?" she asked. I blushed hard—How could he explain that to his girlfriend?!
"W-well, uh... I-I, um..."
Shai laughed.
"Yakko, I'm not mad at you. you were just an actor. and a darn good one at that!" she said, I breathed a sigh of relief. "Well that's good, is there something else that you do? besides working at your dad's restaurant I mean?"
"Well. I write FanFiction," she said.
"Really? of what?"
"Monsters Inc, The Lion King. Animaniacs."
"Did you say, Animaniacs?"
"Yeah."
"Wait really? there's FanFiction of us?!"
"Mmm-hmm," she said as she picks up another chip and ate it.
"That's awesome," he said, then, the waiter came back.
"Hi, are you ready to order?"
"Ohh, Yak. we should take the chicken tenders."
I smiled at that
"I'll have what she's having."
"And the sauces you get on the side for the wings, can get those as well? the ranch and buffalo sauce?" Shai asked.
The waiter smiled and nodded.
"I'll be right back with your orders, are you guys all done with the nachos, or you're still working on those?"
"We're still working on them." I smiled.
"No problem, hey are you Yakko Warner?"
"How did he know?" Shai asked.
"How could I not?! you are my kid's favorite character on the show. he aced his geography test all because you taught him the nations of the world song!" he said, I smiled. "That's so cool man. hey, tell you what. after I leave, come find me and I'll take a picture with you to show your son that you met the Yakko Warner!" I said, laughing. emphasizing the word 'the.'
"Dude! that's awesome. okay I will get your food out for you as soon as possible Mr. Warner!" he said
I smiled. "Please, just Yakko. none of that 'Mr. Warner' stuff. the waiter smiled and laughed.
"Alright, alright. Yakko," he said, walking away.
"So, Shai.—" now I get to ask questions that he never asked before since we're dating now. "Who are your parents? like what do they do? I know your dad works at a restaurant, what about your mom? oh, and I didn't ask you what are their names?" he asked.
"Well, my dad's name is Ben and my mom's name is Amit," she said drinking her Coke.
"And my mom works at Apple."
"Like, the company?" I asked
"Yeah. I can get you a free MacBook." Shai said
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes," she said
"Okay, cool."
After we finished eating, I found the man that wanted a picture.
"Okay, ready?"
"Yeah." Shai took the picture on his phone.
"Thank you so much, and could I take a picture with both of you guys?" the man asked.
"Yeah," he said, both Shai and I walked next to the man and they took the picture. another employee who was working took their picture for him.
"Thank you so many guys, I appreciate it." the waiter said.
"Take care now, Matt!" I said.
"Thanks again, Yakko!" he said as they left.
We went back into my car and went to the mountain where the Hollywood sign is.
We drove over to Mt. Lee, then I drove up the mountain, next to the Hollywood sign. he parked his car and put on music—the radio was on KPWR 106 FM, A radio station in Las Angles. and it was playing, One In A Million by Aaliyah.
I put an arm around Shai's shoulder and pulled her close. Shai smiles and kissed me.
I smiled and put a hand through her hair, he pulls her close as the lyrics of the song start to play. I smiled and kissed her passionately this time. the lights of the buildings on our silhouettes.
A few minutes later, we broke the kiss.
I pushed a button on the driver's door to retract the roof.
The roof peels back, now his car was a convertible. "I never knew it did that," she said.
"Well, now you know," I said as I held her hand and enjoyed the view together. "It's nice..." Shai said.
"It is, all the lights down there, it's beautiful..." I smiled
Shai smiled and kissed me again.
Then we drove back down then drove back home to Bar's apartment.
A skateboard hit the pavement. I pushed my board to gain more speed, I was skating with my now girlfriend Shai, I was having the time of my life! it was awesome!
"I love this!" I said skateboarding down the street. Then, Shai got a text. she pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw a text from Dot. it said. Wanna go paintballing?
Shai read the text then texted back on her phone.
Sure, where at. we need to go back to the house though to grab our gear.
she pressed send and after a few minutes, she received back a message. Okay, sew. I and Wak will be ready and down in the lobby. the text read.
Shai nodded and texted back.
Sweet, see you. she puts her phone back in her pocket.
"Who was that?" I asked
"Dot, she asked if we wanted to go play paintball," she said
"Ohhhh! okay! but we need our gear." I said.
"I know," she said simply.
Once we've skated back to her apartment complex, I opened the door. We saw Wakko, Dot sitting on a bench they wore camo and they had army boots on Wakko was holding his black pinball gun in his hands. Dot set hers on the floor beside her.
"We'll be right back," I said, we ran to the elevator and went up to the apartment to get their gear.
We went to our rooms, put their boards down, I put my gear on.
Then I grabbed extra red paintballs just to make sure if I ran out of them. I grabbed my mask, so I could be safe playing.
I walked out of the room and waited for Shai to come out.
Shai walks out wearing camo pants and a camo jacket to match, with a bulletproof west also.
"Looking nice." I gave her a thumbs up. "Thank you," he said, smiling.
We arrived, my sibs stood and walked out of the apartment complex, then they went to play paintball in Las Angles.
Critical Paintball center in L.A was filled with people. they walked inside and paid for the game.
We all then walked in. I put on my mask on then we played paintball.
"Aw! dude you shot me!" a boy said, Wakko shot a little ten-year-old boy who was on a different team than he was on.
the boy was on the yellow team. he was on the red team.
Wakko was given a little red patch that was on his right arm signaling what team he was on.
The boy had splatters of orange paint on his vest, protecting him from the paintballs—they hurt a lot, and he knows because I shot Wakko in the back with my gun seven times.
My brother can be a pain in the butt sometimes...
Wakko laughed and ran, the boy shot him in the chest.
"You shot me!" he said. then he 'died'
I swung from handle to handle, doing that call like in the Tarzan movies. then, I made my mark and shot both Wakko and the boy in the chest with bright blue paint
"Aw come on!" Wakko said.
"Ha! you're out!" I said as he ran to find his next target.
Dot was on the other side of the paintball field. she had a pink band around her forearm. some kids and teens were wearing pink bands around their arms as well so they all grouped and they called themselves—'Team Broke' because there was one player on their team named Brooke and they all agreed on the name.
Shai was with me. I was protecting my girlfriend, she and I were on the same team.
"Found you!" I ran like the flash, Shai ran with him and they both shot a blonde-haired boy. The boy grinned as he shot both me and Shai.
We were feeling hungry so we took a break from shooting each other with paintballs. Their clothes were stained with brightly colored paint, Critical Paintball was a large park—they even had a food court. on the inside of the park was the front desk, where you can pay to play up to one or how many hours you'd like of paintball until the park closed there was a fenced-off area outside that lead to the field.
We were sitting and eating, we all eating Burger King. we were all sitting at a red-holed picnic table, and we were enjoying their food. Dot was talking to two girls at their table who asked to sit with us.
Twenty minutes later, we were back outside at the field, Shai ran and shot some people.
"Shai," I said running to her as I reloaded my gun with paint.
"Let's go slowpoke!" she exclaimed as she jumped over a barricade and shot some people.
I jumped over the same barrier and went to join her in on the fun.
"That was so awesome!" I said, removing my mask. we were walking out of Critical Paintball, they had a blast!
"It was awesome!" Dot said removing her mask. which was covered in green, blue, and orange paint, I went into my car and we drove to the apartment complex that we temporally lived in.
October 2001
"Bye, Shai." Wakko hugged her.
"Bye Shai it's been a lot of fun hanging out with you." Dot said
"You too guys!" Shai said petting Bar's dog.
"Where's Yakko?" Shai asked confused.
"I don't know," Wakko said
Shai saw him outside.
she walked outside on the balcony and saw him sitting on the couch. Shai removed her backpack and set it on the couch.
"Yakko?" Shai asked.
I continued to look at the floor.
"Yakko, look at me," Shai said picking my head up.
"Yak, we can make this work... okay?"
"But.. but. it doesn't work in the movies," he said
"Dude, yes it does. Yakko. please trust me. we will see each other again." she flashed a smile at him and rubbed my back.
"I know but, it doesn't feel the same you know?
"Yakko," she said putting her face inches to mine
I turned and put her hands in my gloved ones.
"Listen to me, we will make this work. you can use Bar's laptop to FaceTime... okay?"
She hugged me.
"I had a fun time with you." Shai felt my ears twitch a little.
"I did too Shai. I can't believe that you have to go back to Israel." I said.
"Yak..." Shai said.
Shai looked into his eyes, I looked into her's.
"Yes?" he asked.
"We will see each other again... it's not like I'm going there forever, yeah live there. but... you can come down and meet my parents, I'm sure they'll love you," she said.
"Really?"
she nods.
I smiled and kissed her. they sat there for a few minutes and they broke it.
"I love you," I said, looking into her eyes again.
"I do too, Yak." she hugged him. then she stood up and looked at her Rolex.
"Oh! I have to go. and one more thing. Thank you for the LAKERS stuff." she said as she put her hat on backward.
"No problem... bye Shai..." I said as she walked into the apartment then she opened the door, picks up her skateboard, and walked out with Bar.
October 2001
I was eating ramen in my new house. my parents did a very good job with it. hardwood floors covered every square inch of the house. He had a large couch with a Tube T.V, A PlayStation 2 with all the games that I want with it.
I also had neighborhood kids that he could play with, so, that's what I did, I got up and smiled then joins them outside on my skateboard.
"Hey, guys!"
"Hey Yakko!" a boy named Alvin said, then another boy rode up on his bike.
"Hey, Yakko! wanna play with us?" a boy named Peter asked.
"Sure, what are we gonna play?"
"We can jump rope." a girl said.
I was jumping over the rope as two girls, Vanessa and Abby were turning it. and they were rhyming this rhyme.
"Ice cream, Ice cream, cherry on top! how many girlfriends do you got?" Abby asked
"one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen!" they both sad, I missed the next one and he got a total of Seventeen girlfriends!
I smiled. I'm happy that I got to play outside.
then a red-haired girl ran up.
"Your turn Julia!" I said.
"Okay turn it, I'm gonna jump in!" she said. The girls turned the jump rope, Julia jumped in.
"Ice cream, ice cream, cherry on top! how many boyfriends do you got?" Yakko asked
"one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen!" Julia stops as the kids laughed. myself included
"Hey, guys! we should play street hockey!" a boy named Brad said.
"Yeah!" his friends shouted.
Then, an eight-year-old boy ran up to me.
"Wanna play hokey with us Yakko?" Peter asked.
"Yeah," he said
"But I don't have a stick."
"You can have my extra one." the next boy Billy said, running to his house to get his extra hockey stick.
Me, Billy, Sam, Jack, and Peter were on one team.
another group of children named
Mike, Louie, Drake, Bruce, and Ash were on another team.
I had my rollerblades on and I was holding the black and red hockey stick that my neighbor gave me.
"Ready?" a boy said he set the ball in the middle of the street. I and his 'rival' Drake were in the middle of the street. Our sticks in opposite directions in between the little red ball.
the 'ref' known as Johnny, blew the whistle then we got the game started.
I grabbed the ball first, then rollerbladed to the red goal, my team was the blue goal. the girls were sitting on the curb watching them. half of the girls were cheering for me and my team correctly named 'Team Warner' and the other team was called 'Team Jackson'
"LET'S GO YAKKO LET'S GO!" the girls clapped and chanted.
"LET'S GO YAKKO LET'S GO!"
"LET'S GO YAKKO LET'S GO!"
I looked back, smiled waved, and made a goal in the red team's
they cheered, the game was now 1-0
"COME ON YAKKO!" a girl named Jordan said.
2-1. my team won the game!
"YAKKO, YAKKO, YAKKO!" my team cheered
"Kids! come inside for lunch!" Alvin's mom said. Mary was a friendly lady, she had short brown hair, she wore a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops.
"Awesome! my mom makes the best spaghetti ever! hey mom! can our new friend join us?" Drake's mom asked.
"Sure sweetie!"
"AWESOME!" I said running with them to her house.
they all ate lunch then went back outside to continue playing.
December 2001
Two months passed, I got a call from Shai. he picked it up. the caller I.D said Shai 3
(Shai's phone was unlocked so that's how she could call me).
"Hey, Shai." he smiled.
"Hey, Yak. why won't you come to Jerusalem for Hanukkah?" she asked. I was confused. She talked about a bunch of stuff, but I don't think she ever talked about Hanukkah before.
"Shai, what's that?" I asked.
"Oh! let me explain it in the simplest way possible."
She explains it to me.
"Ohhh, okay. so it's like Christmas but eight days." I said.
"Oh, cool."
After my talk with Shai, I called my director
"Hey, Stevie..." I said as I walked around my house.
"Hey, Yakko. how are you?" he asked.
"I'm okay. I have a question." I said
"Okay, what's your question?" he asked.
"Do you know how to speak another language?" I asked my director.
"What languages are you talking about?" Steven asked.
"Do you know Hebrew?"
"Yeah, I do. why?"
"Remember that I said that I had a friend that spoke the language?
"Dude, you never mentioned that," he said.
"Well I forgot okay?! can you help me out?" he asked.
"Yeah of course I can. Do you need help with reading it, writing it? speaking?" he asked.
"Everything."
After our conversation, I put my phone on the counter, I smiled as I thought about going to Israel to see her, this was the first time that I am going out of the state to see her, they've been keeping in touch and going on 'virtual dates' through FaceTime. I borrow Wakko's computer to contact her. but it's not the same, and it's only been two months since we've talked in person.
A few days later, I went to Steven's house for the lesions.
he walked to the door and knocked.
Steven Spielberg opened it.
"Hey," he said
"Hey, Stevie."
"Don't call me 'Stevie.'
"Aright, Stevie." I grinned.
Steven rolled his eyes and smiled.
With Wakko, he was walking, putting up flyers for a band that he wants to start, Then a man looked at the flyer.
"Hey you're looking for band members?" the man asked.
"Yeah," he said
The man was in his early twenties like he was.
"Hey, looking for band members?"
the man asked. Wakko nodded
"Yeah, I'm forming a band," he said.
"Okay, I'll join, my and my friends are looking to play in a band," he said.
"Alright, what's your name?" Wake said.
"I'm James Anthony," he said.
"Faboo!" he said
"Wait, are you Wakko Warner? from Animaniacs?" he asked.
"Yeah," he said
"That's so cool!" he said.
December 2, 2001
I was getting ready to leave for Jerusalem the next day. Hanukkah was on December 9th, and it made things better, I was staying for a week, I had a surprise for her after the holiday.
I remembered that Shai told me that she had three nieces. and Shai told him that they liked filming, music, and Looney Tunes. so I got a Looney Tunes necklace for one of them named Shira, then I got the other one named Jordan an electric guitar then I bought the third one named Gal a clapperboard with her name on it—she really liked filming, so I got her a video camera too so she can do home movies. with her sisters.
I packed his backpack, zipped it up, and put it down on the floor. I looked at my dresser and picked up a black ring box. I opened it. it was an engagement ring. the ring had diamonds around it with a large diamond in the middle of it.
I was so happy that I was finally going to marry this woman. But again it hasn't been a year. but I wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, I love this girl to pieces!
December 3, 2001
I was at the airport. I had my skateboard under my arm. my backpack on my back snd I was dragging my suitcase, I got his ticket and went through all the other stuff.
I handed his passport to the man.
"Yakko Warner?" the man asked me.
"Yep, that's me!" I said. his suitcase next to me. which was just grey with A Clapperboard, a camera, and an Animaniacs sticker was on it. the man handed back my passport with my ticket inside it and my I.D. I walked to security and put my phone in a bin, I took off my shoes, put them in the bin, along with my phone. then I took my skateboard and laid it on the grip tape side down. I picked up my suitcase and puts it on the rollers, I took off my Warner Bros ring and puts it on a smaller trey, then I took my hat off.
I went through the metal detector. I was good.
I was on the plane now the pilot said it was a thirteen-hour and fifty-five-minute flight from LAX to Tel Aviv Yafo.
I cringed. I turned off my phone, went into the overhead compartment, and grabbed my white and black checkerboard backpack next to my skateboard to grab my GameBoy to play Pokémon Red.
Thirteen hours later, I looked over the open window, a man was sitting next to him. I put on my LAKERS hat snd I looked at the view.
fifty-five minutes later. I land, I got up, grabbed my backpack and my skateboard, then I went out of the plane.
"The pilot said baggage claim number five..." I said as he went to the area I stood next to a man, a few minutes later, the conveyer belt buzzed and the bags start to fall. I thought I saw mine but when I pulled his back he saw no stickers. he waited for a bit longer
After I grabbed my luggage and walked out of the airport.
I walked out, then he saw a small black Toyota. it stopped in front of him. the man walked out.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Roy, Shai's brother," he said.
"Oh, cool."
"Are you Yakko?"
"Yeah," I said.
Roy picks up his stuff and put it in the car we went to Jerusalem.
We then went to their house.
I went to his home, it was an apartment complex just like Bar's in Las Angles. and it was the same size too. Roy walked out, opened the trunk then grabbed my stuff.
"Thanks."
"So, how did you meet my sister?"
"We met a few months ago. at a Barnes and Nobles." I said confidently
"Oh, cool. Shai told me a lot about you," he said, I walked to the apartment, Roy punched in a four-digit code, then it beeped. he opened the door, we walked inside. It was a pretty large apartment building, I thought it was going to be small.
Roy walked over to a door and opened it.
"Your apartment is on the first floor?" I asked.
"Yep," he said as he set his stuff down.
I yawned. "Why am I so tired?"
"Maybe it's because you're jet-lagged. where are you from?"
"Las Angles," I said
"Oh, so that's probably why your jet-lagged, the main thing is don't take a nap, that will mess you up pretty bad, you'll start waking up in the middle of the night and sleeping during the day. it's a ten-hour difference"
I was now skating with Shai.
"Your getting better," she said, I smiled then did and ollie over a flight of stairs.
"This is awesome!"
"It is fun," she said
I jumped over a car.
"OHHHHH, DANG!" she said
I smiled and kept on skating, Shai rode up to me. I smiled
Shai stops.
"Hey, Yakko. let's switch bards."
"Why?"
"Come on, Yak. it'll be fun. and you can get used to Skating on a board that's been broken in." she said
"How long have you've been skating for?"
"Me, for two years, but I got the hang of it," she said.
"That's how you got so good."
she nodded.
"And I've watched a lot of Tony Hawk videos."
"Oh sweet!"
"How old are you by the way?"
"I'm two years younger than you," she said.
"Oh cool, so your twenty?" I asked
She nods and kissed my cheek.
We rode for a few more hours then we went back home.
"Hey, guys." Bar said
"Hey, Bar. did my parents get home yet?" Shai asked
"Oh, yeah they're in the living room, Yakko I put your stuff in the guest room," he said
"Oh, thanks," I said smiling, Shai walked off to turn on the T.V she changed the channel to Nickelodeon. Spongebob was on. But in Hebrew. I cringed and changed the channel to Cartoon Network, he saw Animaniacs!
"Yay!" he said as he sat next to her and watched.
I sang the theme of the show.
"It's time for Animaniacs
And we're zany to the max
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh till you collapse
We're an-i-man-iacs!"
I sang to myself and watched the show. it was one of my favorite episodes I filmed called Cartoons In Wakko's Body/Noa's Lark/The Big Kiss and Hiccup. I had a lot of fun filming the show. since its cancellation and the movie going straight to DVD, it was still a fun cartoon to make!
"Yakko."
"Oh what? why!" I said as I turned around. controlling my heartbeat, I saw Roy.
"What the HECK DUDE!" I glared at him
Roy laughed.
"You should've seen your face!" he said.
He laughed. "Okay, you got me."
"So, what are you watching?" he asked.
"I'm watching my show."
"Do you understand what you guys are saying?"
"Kind of, I learned Hebrew my director taught me."
"Wait what?" he asked
"It's true. he thought me." I said again.
"That's cool," Roy said.
Just then, I saw a man enter the living room. the man had brown hair like Shai and blue eyes too. he had tan skin, a beard, he wore a Looney Tunes t-shirt and he was six foot seven. like Roy.
"Hey! you must be Yakko," he said.
"Hi, who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Ben."
"O-Oh... your Shai's dad." I stuttered.
"I'm not gonna bite," he said
"Hi... um... I'm Yakko."
He waved me with a kind smile.
"W-What's up?" I stuttered. I was legit shaking.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing. I just..." I lost my train of thought. as I look up at the large man.
Help...
I thought
"Um. I'll be right back." I said, getting up and walking out of the room
Shai was in her bedroom.
I walked inside her bedroom. her room had posters of Tony Hawk, the Mario games. she had white shelves with plashes on them. I saw that her toys that I got her from the arcade were still there. She also had a hook rack for some of her mini backpacks, her LAKERS hat was on her desk next to her opened laptop.
The walls were covered in magazine pages.
One of them had a white stand with a tube T.V with a PlayStation 2 on the top shelf. She also had lots and lots of movies on another shelf.
I saw that her laptop was opened to a word document.
he walked over to it and scanned it. she had over a thousand words on it, it looked like his girlfriend was writing it for a while
Then Shai walked inside.
"I like your room," he said
"Thanks," she said, sitting down at her computer and continuing to type.
"What are you writing?"
"Have you ever seen that movie the luck of the Irish?"
"Oh, yeah, I have," he said
"So, I'm writing a fanfiction on it."
"Oh, cool." I smiled
December 9, 2001
Tonight was the first night of Hanukkah, I was playing my GameBoy on the couch with Shai as her parents were watching channel 2—the news station they have over here. the food was ready, I heavily smelled of oil after he was done helping Ben with the Sufganiyot and the Latkas. twenty to thirty people were coming over to the apartment. I continued playing video games with Shai, she had a link cable hooked up to her and my GameBoy's to trade Pokémon in Pokémon Red.
A few minutes later, people started showing up.
"!שלום"
(Hello!) a woman said cheerfully.
she was an older woman.
"שלום, אמא, מה שלומך?"
Amit asked
(Hi, mom how are you?)
"אני עושה טוב, איך אתה עמית?"
(I'm doing fine, how are you Amit?)
(I'm doing great mom!) she said kissing her cheek.
"Oh, Yakko this is my grandma, Ruth," Shai told me. Then, I spoke fluent Hebrew
"שלום רות, אני יקו, ידידתך של הנכדתך"
(Hello Ruth, I'm Yakko, your granddaughter's boyfriend) I smiled.
Shai was shocked.
"Y-Yakko. how?"
"Well, I went over to my director's house just like a day before, and bam. I was talking in another language. I learn stuff fast."
Shai hugged me and kissed my fuzzy cheek.
"You did all this for me?" she asked. I smiled and nodded. Shai kissed me passionately.
We were all eating. the kids were playing with each other including me. her three nieces were sitting next to her. One had straight brown hair like Shai and blue eyes.
"Hi, are you Yakko Warner?" one of them asked.
"Yes, I am," I said as I jabbed a finger to myself.
"Can you do the thing from your cartoon?" a boy named Eli asked.
"What thing?" another boy named Stav asked.
"Ohhhhh, Heloooooo nurse!" I said
they all laughed and all the kids did it.
"HELOOOOOO NURSE!" they all yelled. I laughed and we all did it again. Man, it was so much fun here.
I and the kids all gathered around many menorahs with one candle on them, meaning only one night.
then we sang the prayer for it they lit all the candles
Later. we all exchanged gifts.
"This is for you Yakko," Shai said handing me my present. I opened the wrapping paper and I saw what I got.
"A MacBook! awesome! thanks." I said hugging her. Shai smiled.
"No problem."
"and this is for you," I said handing her a gift. she smiled and opens it and gasped.
"Awww it's adorable!" she said as she held it up. it was an iPod.
"Thanks, Yak," she said kissing me back I smiled
"Okay guys, Yakko has some gifts to give you," Shai said. her three nieces, Shira, Jordan, and Gal.
looked at me. and I handed them one by one their presents.
Once they've opened them. they were all overjoyed as they hugged Yakko.
"תודה רבה לך, יעקב!"
(Thank you so much, Yakko!)
they all hugged me. I fell to the floor and laughed.
"Your welcome!" Yakko said as he hugged them.
December 18, 2001
Hanukkah was over. I needed to do this before it was too late.
I wanted to make a day out of it by going to the movies, the mall. I wanted to make it special for her before I popped the question.
But I wanted to surprise her. I wanted to do this perfectly.
We walked inside the mall. sadly, I didn't get bombarded by fans. that was my favorite thing to do was to meet fans, sign autographs, take pictures with them. man, what's the point of being a cartoon character if fans don't know who you are? maybe it is because I'm in a different country, who knows. but, one thing is for sure. I miss it. I held Shai's hand as we walked into the mall together.
Shai saw a large candy stand filled with clear boxes and those clear boxes were filled with candy.
"Candy?!" I ran to the stand. Grabbed a bag and filled it up with everything that I would like. I tasted each one and I love the gummy-shaped bananas. and they tasted like bananas! I then got some gummy eggs next but then I asked her;
"Shai, is this gonna taste like eggs?"
She laughed—she loves me and my zaniness!
"No, you're fine Yak." she kissed my fuzzy cheek
after that, I put the three bags of candy in her mini backpack
We got out of the mall an hour later
I wanted to go see a movie. Shai knew what theater to take him and it was the only one in Tel Aviv.
My eyes widened in shock and excitement as we pulled into the parking lot, it looked like something on set at Warner Bros!
"Shai. what is the place?" I asked my girlfriend.
"This is Cinema City, it's a movie theatre and a mall," she said.
"That's cool," he said. they found a place to park. Shai turned off the car and put the key out of the ignition, I got out of the car and grabbed my Animanicas hoodie, and brought it with me just in case if it was cold in there.
they walked inside. I gasped.
A fan gasped.
"יאקו וורנר!"
(IT'S YAKKO WARNER!)
Then fans start to crowd around us
I smiled and signed their shirts and everything that they could find and give to me. such as shoes. jackets cell phones, everything they could find. and I signed them.
After we said goodbye, we walked around the place. Shai mentioned that the movie theater was on top, so that's where they went.
I saw the top floor.
I was amazed by this place there was a mall on the first floor. Restaurants on the second and now a full-blown movie theater on the third?! I'm surprised that they didn't throw in the water tower up here from the Warner Movie lot.
We walked up to the ticket booth and got our tickets to see Batman Forever, then we went to the concession stand and got popcorn and soda.
After a mini conversation with the man about why a Warner was at Cinema City without his sibs and I explained to him that I was on vacation to meet my girlfriend's parents and celebrate the holiday with them, he smiled at us then sent us on our way.
Shai grabbed the popcorn and ate some.
"Mmmm, popcorn here is so good," she said.
"Really? can I try some?" he asked.
"Yeah sure," she said. then they went to the movie.
December 2001
I was taking Shai to a nice restaurant where there were boats. Shai said that it was called the marina. Bar suggested it to me. and it was the perfect place to propose. I walked in with her.
"HEY LOOK!" a man said.
they all ran and saw me, I smiled as I signed autographs, and took pictures with fans. Shai smiled as I wrapped an arm around a boy also wearing a white Toon Squad jersey. but mine was different. I have a friend back at the studio lot that prints logos into the fabric. I got the NBA logo stitched into mine.
I smiled as the boy hugs me.
"Thank you Yakko!" he said running back to his mom.
"No problem!" I smiled.
We went to an area. I was thinking about this all day.
Well. it's now or never... I thought.
"Shai..." I held her hands.
Shai smiled as I held her hands. Then I got down on one knee.
"When I met you. my heart stopped beating, I loved you from the moment I saw you. when I was homeless for while, You took me in and supported me through everything, I love you for that, Shai Isaac? will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?" I asked.
Shai covered her mouth and smiled, tears welled up in her eyes. Shai olny said one word; "Yes... YES YAKKO WARNER YES!" Shai took him and kissed her passionately.
July 8, 2002
A year later, my family and I were all in Jerusalem for the wedding, I wore the suit from the cartoon. I stood at the altar.
A few minutes later, the music started playing She walked up to the altar, her dad's arm wrapped around hers.
I smiled as she walked to me. I held her hands in mine and we smiled at each other.
The rabbi started speaking.
As the rabbi started we looked into each other's eyes. I STILL couldn't believe this was happening! me, Yakko Warner, about to get married to the woman of my dreams, the one that I've been dating for two months, and we're finally getting married.
Mom was getting emotional, Dad was recording the wedding on the video camera. Wakko and Dot were there too, even our director Steven showed up he was sitting next to my parents. This was the happiest day of my life.
As we said our vows we exchanged the rings and kissed. Then Bar broke a plate.
"Mozel Tov!" he said, everyone, cheered.
At the reception, they went to the cake, I put my hand on top of my wife's hand and we cut the cake, naturally being my zany self. smushed it in her face. she did the same and we started eating it with our hands. my hands were covered with cake but we didn't care.
Then we walked to the dance floor, we chose the song. the DJ puts it on and we started slow dancing. it was "One In A Million by Aaliyah.

October 2005
"Yakko!" Shai ran up to me with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah?" I asked peeling away from my laptop.
Shai was smiling from ear to ear.
"Yak, your gonna be a dad," she said.
"Wait what?"
"I'm pregnant," she said.
I was grinning, I got up from my place on the couch, picks her up and spun her around, and started laughing.
"I'm so happy!" I said smiling at her, kissing her passionately. I posted it to my Twitter. I can't believe this. for the next nine months, I'll have a son or a daughter in my arms.

"It's a boy!" the Doctor said.
Shai smiled tiredly at me, she looked at her. I took her hand the doctor handed him to Shai. Shai held him in her arms. the baby opened his eyes, his eyes were like Yakko's but blue. he was ninety-nine percent, Toon. "He looks just like you..." Shai said smiling as she held the baby Toon in her arms.
"I know... he's perfect," I said smiling at them.
