Chapter twenty-two: Siri's Day Off~

Cartoons, they make you laugh with their crazy and insane tactics and ideas. But what happens to a cartoon who is forced to do the same thing over and over. It's a dangerous thing, especially when it causes FCCS; Forced Cartoon Characteristic Syndrome. A condition where a character is forced to act like they are normally do from their cartoon. This condition can be fatal, and lethal to anyone around them if they are villainous.

The sun rises on the city as we go to Milk Bar Condos located in the Nick district, a milk bar with numerous apartments. Inside we go to an apartment's bedroom to see it had claw marks on the wall. Sleeping in the bed, we see Siri wearing a black tank top and red shorts as tosses and turns. She gasps waking up as her eyes flash red before returning to their normal shade of yellow.

"Relax Siri…it was just a bad dream." She sighs and looks at the time to see it was 8:27 A.M. For some it was early of a time to wake up, for Siri it was too late. The clouded leopard pulls herself out of bed and walks out of the room and into the hallway. As she did, we go to the kitchen to see two of her roommates having breakfast. One was a purple haired girl with light-ish tan skin and short hair, wearing a yellow and green T-shirt and blue jeans, eating eggs and bacon while reading an article on her tablet. The other was an anthropomorphic walrus, with brown fur and skin, her eyes a light amber brown, her two tusks were square-like. She was wearing a lime green T-shirt and blue jeans that looked tight on her, she was eating a huge plate of clams, fish and squid.

"Huh, look at this. Mr. Krabs has gone off the grid and his assets have all been confiscated. Including the Krabby Patty formula safe." The purple haired girl comments as the walrus slurps the gooey inside of the clam.

"What exactly is in a Krabby Patty?" The walrus asked.

"Eddy once said Mr. Krabs puts something extra in it to make it addictive." Siri chimes in, walking over to the fridge as the duo look surprised by her presence. She pulls out a container of leftover grilled fish and puts it in the microwave turning it on. The leopard turns around and sees the two women's surprised expression as the leopard looks at them. "What?" She looks herself over. "Yes, I don't wear a bra to bed, it pinches my fur when I sleep."

"Not that, it's just. Normally you're out the door before we even wake up." The purple haired woman claimed.

"Well, today I got the week off Taffy." The leopard disclosed as she opens the microwave to get her breakfast out. "Big deal, so what do you girls have planned? Rhonda, anything on your schedule?"

"I have to work in the bar downstairs, but this is a first, you don't normally get days off unless you're sick." The walrus comments. "What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Siri looks to the side as she sits at the table.

"Well, we won't bother you- "Taffy stops as the leopard continued to speak.

"Yesterday, Eddy was pulling a Death Note scam." She began as she looks up.

"Your boss has a Death Note?" The walrus questioned.

"No Rhonda, he spray-painted a college rule notebook with no spiral binding on it and wrote identical rules on the inside of it." The feline continued. "This scam was mostly for rich idiots who have too much money and anger on their hands."

Flashback~

We see Eddy and Siri walking into an alleyway as we see a hefty in weight duck with a gray beard. He wears a green Scottish kilt, with a white shirt, brown vest, and a navy-blue jacket and brown spats on his feet.

"Flintheart Glomgold, how are you?" Eddy smiles widely. "It's been ages since I've seen my bestest and only friend who is so handsome and sexy that I want to be him."

"Wait? Did Eddy actually say that?" Rhonda asked interrupting the flashback.

"Yes. For the stupid villains, Eddy puts on the act of being the cheesiest friend of all time." Siri informs.

"Ah Eddy, the only dealer who'd sell me on sharks that are just vicious enough to take out Scrooge." Glomgold smiles at Eddy. "I hear through the grape vine you have acquired a Death Note from that fangled thing called Anime."

"Right you are, Glommy, can I call ya Glommy?" He smiles pulling the duck to his side as the two laughed smiling as Siri rolls her eyes. "See, Glommy. This Death Note was hard to acquire." He pulls out a black notebook that had Death Note on the cover of it."

"Wait, I need to see if this has a Shinigami." The duck declared as Eddy smirks reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a small Pokéball before pressing the button to enlarge it.

"Of course." He tosses the Pokéball behind him as the duck touches the notebook. "Oh look! My Shinigami." He points to the Pokémon emerging from the ball, a black-and-white, bipedal Pokémon. Its head sits forward of its body on a long, thick neck; it has a pointed snout like a badger. It has a thicker coat of gray fur around its forearms and lower legs, as well as around its back, and most of its chest like a vest. "Say hello to, Goon my Shinigami."

"Shinigami, it's so hideous…" The duck touches the Pokémon's face as it licks his hand. "Alright, sign Scrooge McDuck's name in the Death Note Eddy and this is yours." He smirks holding up a bag of money with a dollar sign on it. The short con artist smirks and puts the Death Note on a dumpster top and opens it up and wrote down Scrooge's name. After a few seconds, we see Eddy and Glomgold looking at his phone waiting for the time.

"Five more seconds…four…three…two…one." The spiky haired man grins and presses play at the bottom, as it starts to show a camera feed of Scrooge. As he did, he starts to hold his chest and collapse on his desk.

"Yes! Glomgold wins!" Glomgold grins laughing happily.

"I don't know why, but something snapped in me. I was angry at the fact he was okay with supposedly killing his nemesis." Siri narrated.

The leopard in the flashback growls and tackles the duck to the ground. "So, your okay with murder?! You're okay with killing a man who tried to teach you honor?! If murder is okay, then I guess I'll be having duck for lunch!" The leopard opens her mouth wide letting out a loud roar as she sinks a bite into the duck's arm. Suddenly she fit a dart hit her arm as she turns and sees Eddy looking scared. Siri's eyes flashed red as he gasps, she charges at him and tackles him to the ground. "I guess I'll be having short cake for lunch too!" She bites into shoulder causing him to scream as he fires darts into her stomach.

Flashback's end~

"You bit into your boss's shoulder?!" The two questioned in shock.

"Yes…he's not mad, he was more concerned when I bit him. After that he-"

"Wait, does Eddy actually have a Shinigami in a Pokéball?" Rhonda asked.

"No, that was his Obstagoon. Anyway, he took me to the doctor. She said, my FCCS is acting up again and- "She hears chair screeching as we see the walrus had her back against the wall. "It's not that dangerous, she said it may come in and out when I'm dealing with stressful situations."

"Sorry, but I am not getting bitten again. The day you bit me was the day I accidentally stepped on your tail. I still have scars. Look, I'm going to head to work. See ya!" She runs out of the apartment grabbing an apron off the counter as the leopard smacks her forehead against the table.

"Sorry to ask this, but I forget. What is FCCS?" Taffy inquired.

"FCCS or Forced Cartoon Character Syndrome is a condition where a cartoon acts like they do from their show." Siri explains. "Say for example, Lola Bunny is pretty levelheaded normally, but at times when her FCCS act up, she acts ditzy and lacks some common sense like The Looney Toons show incarnation of her. Or any of her other incarnations attitude. Another example would be Spike from MLP, yeah he's in a relationship with Danger Moth, but his FCCS might on rare occasions make him fawn over Rarity again."

"Oh, so that's what that medication he was getting was for." She mentioned, remembering seeing Spike at the pharmacy the other day. "So, are you taking medication now?"

"No, it's not that serious yet." The leopard comments.

"You bit into your boss and that's not serious?" The woman questioned with a confused look on her face.

"No, the doctor said it would be serious if I went through with it. He said stress is the main reason for my FCCS to flare up." She informs. "I just have to take it easy this week and hope for this was an accident. So, uh got anything planned for today?"

"I'm babysitting today, you could come along?" She offered standing up.

"Yeah…you do remember babies and me, don't get along?" The feline reminded her.

"Oh come on, that was your movie self. You used to love taking care of them." The woman reminds her.

"It's a no. Plus I'm sure my FCCS would still kick in around a toddler or baby." She remarked.

"Well, I guess you'll have to entertain yourself then." Taffy walks out of the room grabbing a laptop bag and walking out of the apartment. After she left, an eerie silence befell the apartment as Siri sighs and eats her fish. A few moments later, we see Siri sitting on the couch as she pats her legs lightly in rhythm. She looks on the coffee table to see the remote control to the television. The feline picks it up and turns the television on to a random channel.

"Time to be my dinner man-cub!" Shere Khan's voice was heard on the tv as it shows him in feral form chasing a kid. Siri turns the channel instantly, as it then showed a leopard tackling and killing a deer. The purple feline turns as it then shows a soap opera causing her to relax.

"I can't be with you Roberto~!" A woman in a red dress shouted at a man in a black tuxedo.

"Why can't we be together Rosa?" Roberto asked as tears streamed down his face.

"It's because, I'm hungry!" She turns into a werewolf and tackles the man, causing Siri turn off the television.

"Okay! I don't think TV is good right now." The leopard smiles nervously. "I'll just check on the neighbors." She grabs her keys off the table and walks out locking the door. As she did, we see her walk down the hall to an apartment door marked 209. She was about to knock on the door when it suddenly open revealing a slender snow leopard holding a red mat. She had on a red sports bra with a dragon print on it, and black leggings. "Hey Song, I was wondering if we could hang out?"

"Don't you normally hang out with your boss?" Song questioned walking past her.

"Eddy, and he gave me the week off. So, I was wondering if two leopards like us would hang out?" Siri smiles nervously.

"I'm going to meet Marlene up for yoga. Do you want to come?" The snow leopard offered.

"Yes, I could use some limbering." The feline agreed immediately. The two walks downstairs and enter the lobby briefly as they walk into the community center of the building. They stop as Siri looks around seeing others in sweatpants, she pauses seeing a pink anthro hippo wearing red glasses, a green T-shirt and red yoga pants. 'Ugh…hate to be around her when she's doing downward dog.'

"Song, over here!" A voice called to the white leopard as she looks over and sees a brown anthro otter with a white spot on her foot. Her the sclera of her eyes yellow as her pupils were bright orange as she was wearing a red tank top and blue shorts. The two walks over as the otter notices Siri. "Hey Siri, what are you doing here at Yumi's Yoga Hour?"

"I thought I'd get loose." Siri lied smiling. Before they could talk, we see Yumi walking in wearing her tie-dye T-shirt and matching tie-dye pants, holding a yoga mat under her arm.

"Hello, my fellow Yoga lovers, old and new." Yumi smiles setting her yoga mat down. "Everyone, find a place to put your mat that generates the most positive energy for you."

"Uh, Yumi, I don't have a Yoga mat." Siri holds her hand up.

"That is fine, that means you can find someone who will open their arms and share their mat with you." The pink dragon smiles.

"Uh alright." Siri agreed, sounding uneasy while everyone was getting ready. She glanced around and spotted Song waving at her from her spot, as the purple leopard smiles walking over.

"Now, let us begin." Yumi smiles as the leopards stood on their mat. "Let us start by tree pose." The dragon stands on one leg as she puts her leg against her knee holding her hands up making an arrow with her hands. "Be sure to make sure your center of gravity is balanced." The yoga students started to do the same pose, as we see the purple leopard wobbling slightly as Song was balanced. "Now slowly migrate your body to downward dog with rising tail, if you have tails." She bends over backwards getting on all fours, her backside was high in the air, her tail high in the air.

Song goes into downward dog with ease, as Siri bends over only to accidentally bit the snow leopard's backside causing her to shriek. "Oh my god sorry!" She stands up accidentally ripping off the black leggings revealing her red panties. "OH GOD! SORRY!" She shouts backing up, only to slip on the map causing her to fall back flailing her arms. The purple leopard tries to reach out for anything, only to accidentally claw open male elephant's shorts and briefs causing everyone to scream in shock. The purple leopard blushes and runs out of the room in shock, running outside into the Milk bar's picnic area with few oak trees in the grass parts.

"Okay, TV didn't work. Yoga did work." Siri smiles nervously as she leans back against a tree. "I just need to calm down." She pants as her eyes flashed red briefly.

As she panted, she took a moment to take a few deep calming breaths as she slid down against the side of the tree. The leopard closes her eyes, trying to keep herself calm.

"Siri?" A voice called out to her, as she opened seeing Song walking over, using her yoga mat to cover her lower half as she looked concerned. "Are you ok? You ran out as if you just killed someone."

"I'm fine…" She looks away.

Song frowned as she gently placed a hand on the clouded leopard's shoulder. "Siri…I know when someone is having a bad day, I'm not gonna force an answer out of you, but if you want to talk, I'm willing to listen." She assured in a gentle tone. Siri's ears folded down a bit hearing this her shoulders relaxing a bit at the snow leopard's touch.

"My FCCS has been acting up…and I almost killed someone I cared about." The purple feline explains. "I thought I had it under control, and then that happened."

"FCCS. It's a hard condition to shake." Song comments sitting next to her. "If it helps, my boyfriend still goes through it."

"Who's your boyfriend?" She asked confused.

"Hiro from Invizimals." The snow leopard revealed causing the purple feline's ears to point up in surprise.

"That kid from those Pokémon knock off games?" The feline questioned.

"He's grown up, also he doesn't like being compared to some games like that. Especially when he's compared to Ben 10 as a discount knock-off." She disclosed.

"Does he hate him?" The purple leopard inquired.

"Nah, they're friends." The white leopard chuckles. "There's him now, with my spare pants." She points to a tall young man with dark hair, his skin slightly tanned with a well shaven face. He was wearing a white T-shirt with a blue Z on it, wearing a pair of black pants with a red belt, around his neck was a necklace with an amber curled charm with a dragon symbol on it.

"Hey, uh when exactly did yoga class cause you to lose your pants?" He joked handing her a pair of jeans. Song smirks as she grabs the jeans and goes behind the tree to change into her jeans.

"I may have been responsible for her pants coming off." Siri blushes rubbing the back of her head bashfully.

"Cat fight?" Hiro questioned and blushes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean like that I just-"

"It's fine, if it helps, it was an accident." The purple leopard blushes standing up as Song comes from behind the tree dressed in blue jeans.

"She bit my ass and ripped my pants off with her teeth." The snow leopard reveals causing the purple feline to blush bright red.

"Talk about eating pussy." He mutters under his breath as the girls heard it and glare at him.

"Hehehehe sorry my FCCS tend to make me blurt stuff out like that without thinking." He smiles sheepishly.

"Anyways, Siri if you need a friend to talk to about this my door is always open." Song reassured her.

"I just can't seem to find anything that won't trigger my condition." Siri sighs.

"You know there is a support group that deals with dealing with FCCS they know all sorts of tricks to keeping it under control." Hiro suggested.

"I'd rather not vent my strife to a bunch of random people." The purple leopard comments.

"It's not like that, its mostly people who chat about ways to get past their FCCS." He continued. "Just know, not everything can be done alone." The two walks off leaving her to her thoughts as she sighs and walks upstairs. As she reached her apartment door, she stops seeing Eddy at the door holding a black plastic food container with a clear top showing some grilled chicken teriyaki.

"Eddy?" Siri questioned as Eddy looks over.

"Hey, I brought you some chicken teriyaki." He smiles.

"You shouldn't even stand up after I bit into your shoulder." She glares.

"I've been bitten by worse no offense." He assured her, handing her the food container "Just wanted you to know there's no hard feelings."

"Thanks." She frowns at him.

"I'll see you on Monday." He pats her back as he walks off as she looks to the container. She saw a note on the top of it causing her to pen it and read it.

Siri, I'm not good with sappy crap like this, so I'll just say you're an awesome partner to work with. And just know you can beat this FCCS crap.

Eddy~

Siri cracked a small smile as she looked back up from the note. "See ya Monday, Eddy." She affirmed as she headed inside her tail swaying more vibrant now in a far better mood then before.

I'll explain further why FCCS is shown through the eyes. The eyes convey the soul.

Red means aggressive FCCS

Green means jealousy FCCS - Toons who are normally jealous will act more aggressive too the person they're jealous of

Orange means Obsession FCCS - Toons who are obsessive by nature will have their eyes flash orange

That's all the FCCS I got for now enjoy
