Hey everyone, QueenofWords1 here! I can't believe I updated the story on ao3 but not here and Wattpad. That was my bad, I've been so caught up with school it slipped my mind. But anyway, here you go! The next chapter!

No trigger warnings this time. Enjoy!


"So…who wants to be the one to open it?"

Yakko nervously smiled at his siblings who shook their heads and folded their arms over their chests.

"No way. You have the key." Dot says. "You open it."

"Well, I will give the key to you." Yakko says, putting they key in Dot's hands. "You open it."

"Heck no!" Dot says.

BAM! BAM!

Wakko gulps. Once again the safe box had begun to make that racket. Neither himself or his siblings wanted to be the first to open up the box. Wakko wasn't sure what he was more afraid of. A full out blowout between his brother and sister or what was inside the safe box.

"Uh guys?" Wakko says, looking at his siblings. They had begun playing hot potato with the key.

"You open it! You wanted the secrets!" Yakko shouts.

"You dragged us down here! You have every right to open it!" Dot shouts.

Wakko frowns and stomps his feet. He puts hand to mouth and sharply whistles. The key lands on the ground and the two Warners look at their brother.

"Wakko, we're in the middle of arguing." Yakko says, putting his hands on his hips.

"Yeah, I'm close to winning." Dot says in a huff.

Wakko grabs the key. "I'll open it."

BAM! BAM! BAM!

"You sure?" Yakko asks.

"Well we came all this way." Wakko says, climbing on top of Lon Borax's safe box. "Let's not stop now."

Wakko balances on the shelf and then goes on his toes, stuffing the key into Animation Cels 29 's key hole. Wakko twists the key around until it snaps open with a click.

"Whoa!" Wakko shouts when the whole shelf shoots out and knocks him off balance.

"I got ya!" Yakko shouts, lunging forward and catches Wakko before he could hit the ground. "You okay?"

Wakko nods, allowing Yakko to stand him up. "I'm okay!"

"Look!" Dot shouts, causing both Warner brothers to look up.

The entire shelf was rattling and suddenly, with a burst of paper, a small safe box launched out and flew into the air.

"I got it!" Dot shouts, running forward.

The safe box plummets down and Dot throws herself forward. She falls flat on her stomach and skids to a stop. The box lands safely in her hands. Dot grins.

"I got it!" Dot stands up, holding the box up in the air.

" Fantastic! " All three Warners hear at once. " Now…can you let me out of the box? "

"Huh?" Dot looks at the box. "Did it just speak?"

The Warners hear laughter and all look at the box. It was coming from inside.

" Now that's the best joke I've heard in forever! " The voice laughs. " A box laughing! Hilarious! "

"Sis," Yakko says, grabbing the box. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone's actually inside this thing."

Wakko takes the box and begins shaking it. "But it's so small!"

" H-H-Hey!" The voice says from inside the box. " Quit shaking me! I'm not a maraca! "

"Oops." Wakko stops shaking the box. "Sorry."

"Lemme look at that." Yakko asks, and Wakko hands him the safe box. Yakko looks it over. There was a keyhole on the box. "Well, I'm short of keys."

"I got it!" Wakko said, taking the box and looking at his tail. He morphs it into a key shape and sticks it inside the keyhole.

Click.

Wakko opens the box and peers inside it. Staring back at him was a clear piece of paper with a big old smiling face of a toon inside. This toon looked a lot like them: the same rabbit ears, the cat and dog like appearance and cherry red nose, but had blue fur and wore a white lab coat over a green polo and some brown slacks. On his hands he had bright yellow gloves. He looked about Yakko's age.

Wakko pulls the paper out. "I don't get it. Where's the talking voice?"

Suddenly the toon on the paper grins real wide. "Ya looking at him!"

Wakko shrieks and drops the paper.

"I got it!" Yakko says, snatching the paper before it falls to the ground.

"Holy mackerel!" The toon within the piece of paper says. "Aren't ya all a sight for sore eyes!"

The Warners looked at each other and then the toon on the page.

"You know us?" Yakko says with a raised brow.

"Why, I saw your doodles before you all made it off the page!" The toon says with a smile. He suddenly starts tearing up and pulls out a handkerchief. "Oh, would ya look at me? I'm getting misty up here."

As the toon blows his cherry red nose, the Warners stare at their new acquaintance. Who was this guy?

"Um, not to be rude." Wakko starts. "But who are you?"

"Oh, my my my!" The toon puts his handkerchief away and looks up at the Warners. He gestures to himself and bows. "Where are my manners? I am Issac! Your cousin!"

"Cousin?" Dot says. "We don't have a cousin!"

"Well that's what I was told!" Issac says, straightening up and scratching his head. He taps his chin. "But then again when I came off the page there was a lot of arguing and anger. Like a couple about to divorce, am I right?"

"Hang on." Yakko says, holding a hand up. "Questions first. Why are you on paper and how can you still move?"

"Gee, you got me kid." Issac says with a frown. "I was sorta tossed back onto the page, but that's a story for another day."

Issac walks to the other side of the page and rams his shoulder into the side of the sheet. Yakko feels the paper move just the slightest.

"I'd rather focus on how I can get off the page!" Issac says, running in place.

Yakko snickers at the display. Wakko and Dot soon join in, watching the toon hopelessly run against the side of the page until he stands up and puts his hands on his hips, scowling.

"Well, don't just stand there!" Issac huffs. "I can use the assistance!"

"Sorry." Yakko says, ending his snickering. He looks at Wakko. "Wakko, anything you have in that bag of yours?"

"I'll check!" Wakko then reaches behind him and pulls out a large brown sack. Right away he opens it up and starts pulling out random junk. Like pillows, teacups, and toys. Then came out some rope and jack 'o'lantern.

Dot crosses her arms. "While we're young."

"I've got it, I've got it!" Wakko says, half submerged into his bag before climbing back out of it. He was now holding a paint can and a brush.

"Great job, sib." Yakko smiles.

Issac crosses his arms. "I don't get it."

"You'll see." Wakko says, dipping the brush into the paint and then walks over to the piece of paper. Issac moves to the side as he watches Wakko quickly draw a door on the paper. Once done, Wakko moves his brush off the paper as Issac inspects the door.

"Nice craftsmanship." Issac compliments, knocking a fist against the door. "Say you got a real knack for this."

"Now you can leave the paper!" Wakko says.

"Alright fellas, stand back!" Issac shouts as he moves backwards on the page. "I'm about to bust out of here like a cork off the bottle of giggle juice!"

The Warners stared at their friend, looking quite confused.

Issac sighed and folded his arms. "I'm gonna jump off the page."

"Ahhh!" The Warners chorus.

"Why didn't you just say so?" Wakko says.

"Stand back everyone!" Yakko says, putting the paper on the ground.

The Warners backed up. On the paper, Issac revved up his legs until they span into a blur.

"Freedom, here I come!" Issac shouts.

The Warners watch as the toon speeds through the door and with a pop, he's come off the page, growing larger until he's reached his normal size. He lands on the ground feet first. Standing up, the toon looks himself over, a giant smile growing on his face.

"I'm free!" Issac shouts, jumping with joy. "I'm finally off that stinkin' page! It's a miracle!"

The Warners smile. Yakko walks forward. "Well, it was all in a day's work for-GAH!"

Issac had pulled all three Warners into a giant hug, crushing them with sudden strength.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Issac shouts with a giant smile on his face. "I could just kiss you!"

"We'd like to breathe, please!" Dot gasps.

"Oh, sorry!" Issac drops them all down to the ground.

Yakko stands back up and dusts himself off. He turns to look at their new friend but notices him gone. "Issac?"

"Would ya look at all this junk?"

Yakko turns around and finds Issac at the shelf he had come out of. Issac was throwing papers out of it and rummaging around inside.

"None of it's even alphabetized!" Issac huffs. "How do you expect anyone to find anything in this place?"

"Hey!" Dot exclaims. "Careful with that! Those are our studio secrets!"

Issac had tumbled inside the shelf and shrieks. He jumps out, sitting on the shelf, holding a piece of paper and looks at it. He smiles.

"Would ya look at that?" Issac says, pointing at the page. "The whole gang's on here! Aces!"

"Whole gang?" Wakko asks.

Issac jumps down and flips the page around. On the page it looked like a drawing of a tv show poster. Right away the word Animaniacs jumped out at them. It was the title drawn at the top of the page with the silhouettes of some toons walking across the page on a stage. Seven of them in total. They all squint at the silhouettes.

"They look like us." Yakko says, seeing the familiar rabbit-like ears and cat-dog shaped faces.

Issac giggles. "Of course they do, silly." He turns the page back towards himself. "This is the Animaniacs cast we were all based on."

"What?" Yakko says, confused. "Based on?"

Issac giggles even more. He then grins all wide.

"Well yeah. We're the replacements! Isn't that terrific?"
