(Sorry I took so long getting the final chapter up!..Well here it is anyway. And if anyone is wondering, FanFiction.net took down the 'Wakko's Wish Movie Bloopers' and suspended my account for a while because of it =P I never knew bloopers were against the rules when I put it up... )

Chapter 8

Wakko was drifting in and out of consciousness, trapped in between life and death. Part of him was aware of the frantic doctors running around, and the machines he was hooked up to keeping him alive. Another part of him was off in another world entirely.

Ever been in that weird state of mind, usually at night or when you first wake up, when you think strange thoughts that seem to make sense at the time? In a way that's what Wakko was feeling. Thoughts swirled around in his mind, more often than not completely random and not making sense, though they made sense to him at the time.

Every once on a while a real memory would slip in (though he didn't know they we're his memories at the time). A soft female voice singing a wordless tune while rocking him to sleep, a great flash of light, yelling and screams of terror, a vague memory of another girl like him; a lost friend, and two others like him always there.. his siblings.

And suddenly he knew they were there beside him. Struggling, Wakko began to return to consciousness... and then they were gone.

Yakko.. Dot, he called out with his mind weakly but was too tired and eventually sank back into the world of dreams.

"No!" Yakko screamed as he and Dot were pushed into the hall, the door closed firmly behind them. The doctors obviously didn't want children in there... because Wakko was dying.

"No.." Yakko repeated sinking down to his knees, weak with worry and grief. Dot wasn't crying anymore, but instead was sitting next to Yakko, her arm around him, a forlorn look on her face. Yakko couldn't get the picture of Wakko out of his mind, his little brother hooked up to machines, looking pale, barely holding onto the threads of life..

"Are you okkay?" A voice said, and Yakko looked up.. into the face of a beautiful young woman dressed in a nursing uniform. She crouched down so she was eye-level to the two kids.

"You look so sad.. something wrong?" Yakko gazed up at her with wide eyes. Being this young still he didn't yet have any feelings yet for the nurse, but her being so beautiful and intelligent looking he admired her. And decided to trust her, having become desperate.

"It's.. my brother" Yakko began hesitantly, then ploughed ahead seeing that the nurse was paying attention and taking him seriously. "Wakko.. he's in the room but I was kicked out by the doctors.. You have to understand, we're the only ones who can save him! Please help me..."

The young woman sat down next to the two Warners and hugged them.

"My name is Heather.. I'm a college student training to become a registered nurse and am here on work experience. I want to become a nurse so I can help take care of people like your brother... but you have to understand, the doctors are doing their best and I know you love your brother but.."

"I know all that!" Yakko yelled and moved away from Heather. He turned so his back was to her, facing the door.

"Why can't you let us in?"

Heather sighed and turned Yakko around gently so she was looking into his eyes.

"If you truly believe that being with your brother will help him live, then you don't really need to be right next to him.. distance doesn't matter"

Yakko was confused for a moment, but then suddenly what Heather was trying to tell him became clear.

Closing his eyes and holding Dot in his lap, Yakko mentally urged Wakko to wake up and prayed that he would be alright. When he finally opened his eyes, Heather was gone.

"He's gone!" One of the doctors exclaimed upon seeing Wakko's empty bed. She checked and rechecked the room but Wakko was definitely missing. A passing surgeon heard the noise and came in to see what was going on.

"Who's gone?" he asked, and the doctor motioned to Wakko's bed. "The patient.. the one that was in critical condition... oh you know, the puppy kid!"

"Ohhhh him... gone??"

"Well he was stable so I left for a moment. When I came back he was gone!"

"Do you think he walked off by himself?" The surgeon suggested after hesitating slightly. The doctor shook her head and sighed.

"I highly doubt it but anything is possible I guess.. C'mon, we'd better sound the alarm."

"Yakk..o?" Someone said, and Yakko jumped. He couldn't possibly have heard Wakko.... could he? Yakko looked around and found himself face-to-face with his brother.

"Wakko!" He exclaimed, then hugged him. "How did you-" but before he could finish what he was saying he heard some yelling, something about a missing patient.

"I have no idea how you got better so fast but we'd better beat it. I don't want to be in this place anymore. Too serious. C'mon!" Wakko nodded, and together the three Warner siblings made their escape.

Outside and far away from the hospital, Yakko, Wakko and Dot sat down exhausted and thought of their adventure.

"It's like we're right back where we started." Yakko mused, then looked at his sibs. "Well okkay maybe we're all a little older. And we must have learned something from this whole adventure... unfortunately I have no idea what that is!" Yakko gave his sibs a quick hug, then pulled out a couple of waterballoons and threw them at Wakko and Dot. Both hit their targets.

"H...hey!" Wakko complained and whacked Yakko with a fish. Dot joined in the fight and soon the three Warners were laughing, then tore down the street chasing each other (not minding if a few innocent people got in the way).

Between dodging anvils, paint bombs, and angry bystanders, Yakko thought to himself how lucky he was. Why worry about things like finding a home? Being a kid was fun and besides, he knew they'd find a home eventually. In the meantime, there was fun to have and people to annoy!
