Chapter 6

When a sliver of light appeared under a door, the three sibs were torn between feeling relieved, and afraid of what was to come. A key turned in the lock, and the door swung open with a loud 'creeeeeek'.

Ms.Fuzzy stepped into the room and flicked on a light switch, causing Yakko, Wakko, and Dot to be temporarily blinded. Finally when their eyes adjusted to the light, they got a look at the room they were in:

It was a basement of some building and like any other stereotypical basement in which people find themselves tied up in movies: Dark, dank, and dreary. Covered in cobwebs, a large wooden desk rested in a corner of the room, but other than that the room was empty.

Ms.Fuzzy went over to Dot and picked her up.

"You, girl, will be the first to take part in one of the...experiments." She turned to the two brothers.

"Don't worry" She said in a sickly sweet voice, "You're sister will be perfectly fine..... if she's lucky."

Yakko struggled to break free but it was no use; he was trapped. Suddenly someone appeared in the doorway.

"Going somewhere, Fuzz-for-brains?" A voice said, and Ms.Fuzzy spun around, finding herself face-to-face with Slappy.

"You!" She exclaimed. Slappy rolled her eyes. "How very observant of you. Now hand over the kids."

"Never!!!" Hilda screeched at full volume, and glass somewhere in the room shattered.

"Hand over the baby." Slappy repeated, as if talking to a naughty little kid. Hilda shook her head and made a run for the desk, then pulled a knife out of one of the drawers.

"Come any closer and I kill the girl!" She threatened.

Yakko, who was on the floor next to Ms.Fuzzy, gave her a kick in the shins. Ms.Fuzzy glared at him then kicked him back, only much harder. Yakko whimpered in pain, but was unable to do anything about it since he was still tied up. Oooh if I ever get the chance for revenge you'll wish you never set eyes on us Warners, Yakko vowed with hatred.

The time that Hilda was distracted however, was enough for Slappy to free Wakko and take Dot out of the evil clutches of Hilda Fuzzy. When she looked around for the missing Warners, it gave Slappy time to rescue Yakko.

Soon Slappy was standing in the doorway, with the Warner siblings behind her. Ms. Fuzzy spun around in circles as all this was going on. "Wha.... where....?!" Hilda stammered, looking around.

"Nice try Fuzzy Wuzzy, but ya snooze ya loose." Slappy motioned for the Warners to leave the building, and they quickly obeyed. She then turned to face Ms.Fuzzy and took out a stack of dynamite.

"And now for you..."

A few explosions later, an extremely charred and blackened Ms.Fuzzy stumbled out of the door of Sunny Valley, followed by Slappy.

"Don't try this at home kids, I'm a trained professional!" The large squirrel warned, and seconds later the police began to arrive. Red and blue lights flashed, sirens blared, and finally Ms.Fuzzy was taken away.

Slappy went looking for the Warners and finally found them huddled together under a tree. She walked over to them.

"Look kids, I'm sorry I left you with Ms.Demon Fuzz there.. I'm normally have a good judge of character but I guess everyone's wrong once in a while. Look, if you want to stay with me for a while longer I guess that would be fine..." If she said anything after that, it wasn't heard because just then gun shots fired through the air inches from Yakko, Wakko, Dot and Slappy. The foursome spun around, amazingly free of bullet wounds, and faced their attacker; noone was there.

"For the love of Mel Gibson, what now?" Slappy said, but there was no answer. Realizing that there was nothing she could do, Slappy turned to the Warners.

"Come on, let's go home. And quickly. " She said, then started walking making sure Yakko, Wakko, and Dot following close behind her.

Despite the weird gunshots a moment ago, Yakko felt safer than he had in ages. The thought of Slappy's house being their home was a comforting one, but still he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong. Little did he know that he'd be finding out what that was soon enough. In the meantime, as always, there was the present to worry about.

With thoughts of their new life (even if only temporary) running through their minds, the Warner kids finally felt as if life was going their way.

Naturally then, it was a complete surprise when the sidewalk beneath them exploded and everything went dark.
