Khakiandoracle: So do your parents know yet?
Valentinedeer214: No, but they did give me a rash of shit the next day when they saw that half of the food was gone. I was so tired that day, I slept through three classes!
Khakiandoracle: Well I think we should tell them.
Valentinedeer214: WHAT?!?!
Khakiandoracle: Look, we can't keep them up in our rooms the rest of our lives, can we? Besides, our parents won't think we're crazy if they see them as well.
Valentinedeer214: What if we ARE the only ones who see them?
Khakiandoracle: Then we will go peacefully to the loony bin.
Valentinedeer214: Oh, that's real comforting.
Khakiandoracle: Well I'm gonna tell. Good bye!
Coralee signed off, leaving Jenna in a stupor. What would her parents say if they saw two cartoon characters? Building up her courage, she marched up the stairs and into the attic. Both were sleeping and draped in each others arms.
"Hey, you guys! Wake up! I have to tell you something!"
***************
"Mother. Father. Carrie and Allison. I have something to show you all."
Jenna's family stared at her. Jenna's father, Kevin, was bald and had thick glasses and stubble on his face. Her mother, Nancy, was a little taller than him and rather portly, and she had her usual cranky look plastered on her face. Carrie was a pretty eighteen year old with long blond hair and glasses as well. Allison was a tall seven year old with a mouth full of crooked teeth and her hair tied up in her usual ponytail. All of them rolled their eyes towards Jenna, expecting her to say something stupid, like how many days the next Harry Potter book was coming out. (Which, by the way, is in 34 days. Hee hee!)
"What is it Jenna?" Kevin grumbled. "I'm paying the bills."
Jenna cleared her throat and said, in a shaky voice. "I, uh, j-just want to show you some new friends of mine."
Nancy scowled at her daughter. "You invited friends over without telling us first? The place is a pigsty and we don't have any food for them." She barked, emphasizing that last part and glaring at her.
"For the last time, I was not the one who took all the food! In fact, it was one of my new friends who did it!"
"Okay then, show us your friends! They owe us an apology." Carrie smirked, rolling her eyes. Allison smiled smugly, showing her nasty teeth at Jenna.
"Okay then. My dear family, I would like to introduce you to Tulio and Chel, two of the stars from The Road to El Dorado!"
She dragged the cartoons out from behind the corner and into view. Tulio blushed a little and waved shyly at them. "Please to meet you, Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Jenna's told us a lot about you."
Nancy, to everyone's surprise, let out a shrill scream and fainted right there on the spot.
"Wow." said Jenna. "I've never seen Mother faint before. Let alone scream."

"---The sweet unfolding of antique mystery. All will be revealed. . . On the trail we blaze!!!" After little Bibo ate the butterfly, Coralee turned off the movie. Miguel sat awestruck in front of the TV and slowly turned to Coralee.
"It's true then." he whispered. "I mean, this- HA!- this is all real! Are you saying we're famous? "
Coralee smiled. "Yep! You're famous."
Miguel started to play with a Burger King action figure of himself when his smile faltered. "I'm confused though. . . Why are we in the future now? Why were we flung nearly five hundred years into the future?"
Coralee sighed. "I have no idea. But if it takes the rest of my life, I'm gonna-"
"YOU'VE GOT MAIL!!!"
The computer frightened them so badly that they nearly jumped off the floor.
"Who the hell was that?" Miguel panted, clutching his chest.
"Uh, it's my computer. Don't worry, I just need to check this email I got." She left Miguel (more confused than ever) and opened her mail.
The message said it was from Toontown, CA. Coralee stared at it. No. It couldn't be. There couldn't be a Toontown! She rubbed her eyes, trying to see if they were playing tricks on her. But, clear as day, it said Toontown. Coralee nervously clicked OPEN and read the message out loud.
To Whom it may Concern,
My name is Cornelius Acme, great grandson of Marvin Acme and the current owner of Toontown, California. According to my records, it appears that you have intercepted two cartoons through our Toon Snatcher. Obviously, there must have been a glitch in the program and instead of receiving the cartoons at headquarters, both were transported at your house. I sincerely apologize for this incident. I would also like to inform you that we are in need of both cartoons, so if it doesn't intrude on your personal agenda, please come right away. I shall see that all expenses are paid for your journey and that you get the best service in Hollywood. Please reply ASAP!
Sincerely, Cornelius Cuticle Acme. Owner of Toontown California and Acme Supplies (If It's An Acme, It's A Gasser!)
Coralee stared at the screen. "Unbelievable." she said.
"I'll say!" Miguel said over her shoulder. "What kind of a name is Cuticle?"
"That's not the point Miguel." Coralee said. "Toontown doesn't exist! It's just from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit!"
"Ooh, can we watch that?" Miguel said, grinning.
"NOT NOW MIGUEL!!!" Coralee snapped, causing Miguel to wince. She sighed. I'm sorry Miguel. . . I'm just really confused. . ." Coralee hung her head and Altivo nipped her hair affectionately. Suddenly, the computer made a noise.
Valentinedeer214: Okay, did you just get a little from a Cornelius Cuticle Acme or am I going even more crazy?

Oh that sucked. Hopefully, though, I'll get more reviews! Ingrates..
