A/n: Hi guys! Here's another story to make up for those who don't like tragedy (like me). I just want to note that the condition that Wakko will be in is written from personal experience, which I actually got the inspiration for this story from. Enjoy!;)
Yakko and Wakko were walking towards the psychiatry building, Wakko walking as tough his legs were injured. Well, they weren't injured, but they still hurt. And the reason for that was simple. Not sitting the right way and a lack of activity. And that has been going on for three and a half years now. Yakko has tried to help his little brother, but whatever the doctors said, Wakko would forget it because of self-distraction, no matter how many times Yakko reminded him. It's not like Wakko did nothing, tough. There were times when he worked out very intensivly, but then again, that wouldn't last long. So the only option left for Yakko was to bring his little brother to their favourite nurse.
"Come on Wak, we're almost there!", said Yakko. Wakko tried his best not to walk behind his brother. "I...I'm trying Yakko...it hurts...", he said. Yakko sighed. "Which leg?" "Um...right...left...I don't even know anymore..." "Alright, just hurry please, aren't you happy to see Hello Nurse? You're actually having an appointment with her, you know"
Wakko started wagging his tail as a smile formed on his face and he hurried and soon found himself right next to his brother. "Really??", he asked, still wagging his tail and smiling. Yakko chuckled. "Y'know, I think I shouldn't be your role model for things like this" "What do you mean Yak?", asked the middle sibling. "Three words brother sibling. Chasing after girls. And since you know we're over intelligent, no further explenation" said Yakko. "Oh...", Wakko blushed.
"To be honest, I wish I was in your place", said Yakko. Wakko chuckled. "Better don't. Besides, you have just said everything" "You're right. And by the way, you know what?"
Wakko looked at him. "I'm actually more into Minerva"
Wakko smiled. "Well, good luck then" "You too sib", Yakko smiled back.
The two brothers entered the building and sat in the waiting room. Wakko was very nervous, his palms were sweating and he was swinging his feet, his head down.
"Head up Wak, you know it's not good", Yakko reminded him. Wakko lifted his head up and stared at the wall, his eyes widening as he clunched his stomach.
"You nervous?"
Wakko looked towards his left and saw his brother smiling back at him. He just slightly nodded. "You don't have to be, it's just an appointment. But I understand you. Just don't worry, it'll be fine"
Just then the nurse came out. "Hellooo Nurse!", the Warner brothers greeted as usual. She looked at a piece of paper and back at them.
"Wakko Warner?"
Wakko stood up and followed her inside while Yakko waited outside.
Wakko just stood there, waiting for the nurse to ask him something. Finaly, she did.
"So, your brother has told me that something's bothering you, right?"
"Yeah, it's my legs. They hurt. Like, every now and then, either one or both...", he trailed off. The nurse was looking right at him.
"Ok", she said, "First, step here", she pointed to a mat in front of him. Wakko slowly stepped on it, his palms still uncontrolibly sweating. "Now, bend down to your toes, but try to do it more with your hips. Like this", she said as she bent down. Wakko did the same, trying to keep his legs straight.
"You don't have to keep them so straight", said the nurse. So, Wakko bent his knees just a little.
"Good. You can get up now", she said and Wakko got up. Then she wrote something on a piece of paper and turned back to him.
"Ok. Now, lay down here", she said as she pointed to a medical bed that was there. Wakko shivered, but did as she said. Then the nurse came to his right side.
She bent his right leg. "Ok, so I'm going to push your leg to your chest, but you don't let me", she said. Wakko tried his best to do so, but still, he had a smile on his face, obviously.
"Good", she said and moved to his left, "Now the other leg"
Wakko was enjoying this. As much as it was nothing special, he still enjoyed it. After all, it was Hello Nurse, right?
"Ok, now, I'll go left, and you don't let me", she said. Wakko tried to do so as she dragged his left leg. Then she did the same with the right leg.
"Good", she said, "Ok, now, lift your legs up". Wakko lifted his legs in the air. "Now, I'm gping to bring your left leg down, and you don't let me", she said. Again, Wakko did so. "Ok, you can lower it down now", she said. Wakko lowered his left leg down. Then she did the same with his right leg and he lowered it down too.
"You're pretty strong, you know", said the nurse. Wakko blushed. He didn't know that, for some reason he tought he wasn't, but now he was sure he's as strong as before, just because someone actualy told him that.
Wakko nodded, still smiling. "Ok. Now, I want you to lift your shirt up", said the nurse. Wakko shivered, but still did as she said.
"Ok. So, there are two points. Here", she pressed two fingers on Wakko's waist, on that part where it's connected with the left leg. Wakko shifted a little, it tickled. "And here", then she pressed two fingers on his chest. "The first one makes your legs weaker, and the second one makes them stronger. Now, you have to press two fingers on one of these two points and make little circles, and then we'll repeat those exercises from earlier", she said.
And sure enough, she was right. When Wakko pressed the first point, he felt weak, and when he pressed on the other point, he felt as strong as usual.
"Ok, good", said the nurse, "You can put your shirt back". Wakko gladly did so. Then she got out two cards.
"So, I have two cards here. You can take them", she said and gave them to Wakko who took them. "Now, we're going to try the same thing with these. If you look at the one with a dot, then you're stronger. And if you look at the other with the stripes, you're weaker. That's how the brain works", she said.
Again, it was true. When Wakko looked at the first one, he felt as strong as he was, and when he looked at the other one, he felt weak.
"Ok, you can get up now", said the nurse. Wakko got up and watched as she wrote a lot on that piece of paper. After a few minutes, she handed him the paper. "Give this to your brother. And do that bending from the beginning at least once a day, ok?" "Ok, thanks, bye!", said Wakko and went out.
"How did it go?", asked Yakko as they were heading to the exit. Wakko sighed. "It was great! I still can't belive I've just...", he trailed off. Yakko chuckled. "Well, congrats! How is she, if I may ask?". Wakko inhaled, "You may not belive this...but she really is great!" "What do you mean?" "Well...uh...", Wakko didn't want to admit it, since she was an adult and a human, but...
"You think you have a crush on her?", asked Yakko finaly.
"Yeah...", Wakko said.
Yakko frowned. "Ok sib, you have my aprooval, but I think you should talk to Scratchy about it" "Ok...Hey, um, I have something to give you", said Wakko and gave him that paper. Yakko read the notes. "It says your right side is shorter and you have a slight scoliosis" "What does it mean?" "It means you're a little distorted and you have a little hump on your back", said Yakko.
"Oh...", Wakko frowned a little. "It also says that the next apointment's in a week", said Yakko. Wakko's smile returned. "She told me to bend down at least once a day. I did that first thing when the apointment started. I'll show you how it looks like when we get home", he said.
The two brothers came home, Wakko with a dreamy face and Yakko smiling widely.
"Boys, go fig", was all Dot could say.
