Chapter 1

"Aww, well I do declare, aren't you three just the cutest little puppy children I ever have seen!" The huge woman cooed, reaching down and hugging the three Warners tightly in a near-deadly embrace. Yakko gasped for air.
"Nice..to....meet....you....too....lady...." He managed to say, then promptly fell over seeing stars. Wakko looked up at the woman angrily, then out of nowhere pulled out a huge wooden mallet at least three times his size.
"Buh bye!" He giggled in his cute little accent, then whacked her over the head with it.
" ....and that's the last time I invite Christopher Walkins over for dinner!" The woman declared, staggering down the street running into lamp posts and startled pedestrians until she was out of sight. Giggling in delight, Dot turned to Yakko and pointed to Wakko who was gnawing on the mallet. Wakko grinned then swallowed it whole.
For a moment Yakko was in shock, amazed at what his brother had just done. Then he noticed that two-year-old Wakko wasn't the only one who had these 'toon powers'. Everywhere he looked, the world had a comic appearance and things were exaggerated. Yakko tried to remember how he and his siblings came to be where they were -the toon world- but couldn't remember.
Deciding to experiment, he reached into his pockets and pulled out a paddeball, a sandwich, a bottle, then some coins and a toothbrush. It seemed there were no laws when you were a toon: anything was possible.
'Who cares how we got here', Yakko thought, 'I love it and I'm definitely staying!'
Filled with a sudden craving for causing mayhem, Yakko picked up Dot and took Wakko by hand and the three of them went off in search of fun.


After a day of causing chaos, the three Warners sat down on a park bench exhausted. An hour before, Wakko had snuck into an ice cream shop and eaten three buckets of ice cream whole, then gotten tossed out by the manager. Yakko had been enraged that the manager had been so cruel as to toss his little brother out on the street and had gone back in for revenge.
Might I say, when Yakko joined his sibling outside, he left behind the ruins of an ice cream store. The angry manager had chased the three kids all the way down the street, then stopped and waved his fists at them cursing. Finally they found the park bench and sat down for a break.
Yakko had Dot in his lap and Wakko sitting beside him making weird faces. Absentmindedly he reached over and held Wakko's hand, and ran his fingers through the soft fur on Dot's head, thinking. He absolutely loved the toon world, and never wanted to leave. It confused him that he couldn't remember anything beyond the past few days, and he wondered why he was alone on the street with no parents and had to look after his siblings. Finally he gave up trying to figure things out, and just came to accept things.
"Where do we go from here?" Yakko wondered out loud. No one answered. "Okkay sibs," he continued, "Let's go look for somewhere to stay.. there's no way we can keep sleeping on the streets."
With that, he got up off the bench and picked up Dot, and making sure Wakko was following, set off in search of a home.


By mid afternoon, the trio was tired, hungry, and slightly dizzy from heat exhaustion. Dot was becoming irritable, and Wakko was eating random objects he found, even rocks. Finally Yakko, Wakko, and Dot sat down (or rather, collapsed) under a large tree.
"I don't know what to do" Yakko apologized to Wakko and Dot, "I'm trying to do the best I can do, I really am.. I just don't know what to do anymore.." Suddenly a door in the tree flew open:
WHAM!
The three Warners flew forward, landing flat on their faces. Dot began to sob, Wakko pulled out a mallet, and Yakko spun around to face their attacker... a large grey-and-white squirrel? She was about Yakko's height, middle aged and getting kind of old, yet her eyes still had a sparkle to them; she wasn't somebody to mess with.
She had a funny little green hat perched on the top of her head with a yellow flower sticking out of it, giving her a comical appearance.
"Go on, skat!" She commanded, whacking Yakko with a broom.
"Ouch!" He complained, then grabbed the broom and whacked her back. Wakko eyed the broom. "Me try!" He giggled, then grabbed the broom from Yakko and whacked everybody within reach with it. Dot's face turned red. "Wakki!" She cried, then took out a broom of her own and whacked her brothers and the squirrel with it.
"Ow! Dottie!" Yakko complained, then realized his mistake. "Um.. I mean..."
Whack! Yakko fell over and watched as the world began to spin. Dot put away the broom and smiled innocently. Wakko started whacking everybody in sight. The squirrel watched in amusement until she was hit in the face by Wakko.
"Alright! Enough!" She commanded and took away all the brooms. "Whack me again with anything and I'll introduce you to my friend dynamite. Now go on back to your folks, and don't let me ever catch you hanging around my front porch again!"
Dot crawled over to her and clung to her leg. "Granny?"
"I ain't no grandma kiddo. The name's Slappy Squirrel, and I don't get along well with kids. I just made my last cartoon today and I'm officially retired. The last thing I need is you three hanging around. It's makes me look old."
"Pwwweeeaaaase?" Dot pleased, batting her eyelashes. Slappy got out a crow bar and attempted to pry the clinging Warner baby off her leg but it was no use. She turned to Yakko.
"What are you standing here staring for, take your siblings and go on back home to your parents."
Yakko stared at her and started to sniffle.
"I have no parents. I have no place to go, and I have to look after my siblings.. If you can't help us, then I guess we'll go.. "
Slappy studied the three Warner kids for a minute, then sighed. "You can stay the night and tomorrow I'll look into calling Social Services or something. I'll fix up the guest room for you, get your brother and let's go inside."
Yakko looked up surprised.
"You mean you've had a change of heart? Or is this like bribing your conscience?" Slappy chuckled and patted Yakko on the head.
"You know, you remind me of a very young Groucho Marx."
"What?"
"Nevermind."


The four of them went inside Slappy's house inside the tree. Yakko looked up at her questioningly.
"Why are you doing this for us?" He asked again. "Pity?"
"Maybe.. " Slappy replied, thought a moment, then motioned to Dot. "But mainly because your sister won't let go of my leg!"
