Disclaimer: Let's face it, I don't own Toontown and never will. But I do own Little Lily McTooth, Princess Melody Featherwoof, Jennifer and Jacob Orangecarrot, and all my other non-original characters. If you want your character to be in the story, let me know and I'll put him/her in. Don't worry, I'll give you credit! Little Lily McTooth and Princess Melody Featherwoof are my characters on Toontown, though Lily is my main character.
Chapter 1: At Least There's Hope
In an empty neighborhood in Toontown, a lone rabbit carried boxes and furniture into her new estate. Her old house had been burned down by Cogs, along with the rest of the neighborhood, and she was forced to move to another neighborhood.
Little Lily McTooth was a medium-sized, lavender-colored rabbit with a purple top with dark purple hearts and a pair of blue shorts that went about down to just above her knees. She was an energetic young rabbit with a lot on her mind. A little mischievous, but overall a nice girl.
She set down a box and opened it up. It was filled with the shirts that she had bought from Clarabelle's Cattlelog recently. Lily put them in her dresser, then went on to the shorts box and did the same thing. She moved her couch in front of her fireplace, and placed her bank in the upper-right corner of her bedroom. Her bed went on the lower-left, and her dresser went on the upper-left corner of the room. She put the two green chairs in her room, and her other two chairs next to the couch.
"Just a temporary arrangement," Lily whispered to herself as she looked at her house from the living room. It looked okay, but it needed something. Lily couldn't think straight enough to figure out what.
The lavender rabbit walked outside and breathed in some fresh air. She would have to go to Toon HQ soon to get a Toontask for the next frame of her Toon-Up Gag Track. But she didn't care. All she wanted to do was get some fresh air and enjoy her free time away from the Cogs in the street.
Lily shivered thinking of the Cogs. When she was on Barnacle Boulevard with a red mouse named Baby Squeakus, they had approached a Cog building where three Toons wanted help taking it over. Lily had told Squeakus to go, so she did. After all, Squeakus was stronger than her. Lily stood outside the two-story building, waiting for her new friend to come out.
She never did.
When the other three Toons came out of the building, they brought the bad news that Squeakus had been kidnaped by the Cogs and was being held under lock and key. Lily swore revenge against the Cogs and that she would rescue here friend.
Just that memory put the painful image of her old neighborhood burning down. The image was still clear in her mind. The Cogs had flown into her neighborhood carrying matches. They set her house on fire first. Lily had run out of the house, screaming for help. Her red Doodle, Baby, was running too. Baby was burned to death by the fire. Lily had made it to a nearby concealed location, but her neighbors had been kidnaped by the Cogs and taken away.
Now, Lily cried into her hands, losing more Laff Points than she could count all four paws. She missed her friends. Everyone that she cared about was either in chains or dead. Lily sniffed. "At least there's hope," she whispered. "I can rescue my friends from the Cogs, and I can buy a new Doodle, but my parents..." She began crying again. Her parents had bravely gone into the Sellbot H.Q., but never came out. During another invasion, there was a report that Lily's parents' dead bodies had been found on the ground. "Why me?" Lily whispered. "Why always me?" Her Laff Points went down to zero. Lily warped to the Playground to collect some ice cream cones and buy a Doodle. Before she warped, four words escaped her lips: "At least there's hope."
When Lily got to the playground, she noticed an ice cream cone straight in front of her. She slowly walked up to it, not having the energy to run, and grabbed it. Some of her Laff Points were restored. She smiled and went to the Pet Shop. When she entered the yellow building, she approached a clerk behind the counter.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the clerk asked.
"Yes, I'd like to buy a Doodle," Lily replied.
"You name, please?" the clerk asked.
"Little Lily McTooth," Lily answered.
The clerk typed some things into the computer. "Ok, come back here and sample our Doodles." She opened a swinging door next to the counter. Lily walked in and headed to the room labeled "Doodle Room." "Boys are on the left, girls are on the right," the clerk explained as she followed Lily into the Doodle Room.
Lily walked in to the sound of several squeaking Doodles in cages. Lily browsed through the girl Doodles until she saw a blue one with a feathery tail. The Doodle smiled at Lily and licked her hand through the cage. Lily laughed, and some Laff Points were restored. "I'll take this one," Lily said.
The clerk unlocked the Doodle's cage and gave her to Lily to hold. "What would you like to name her?" she asked as she walked to the computer, followed by Lily.
Lily looked at the Doodle and her joyful expression. "Happy," Lily finally said. "Her name is Happy."
The clerk nodded and typed in the Doodle's name on the computer. "Okay, be sure to take care of your new friend!"
Lily paid the clerk 217 Jellybeans and thanked her. She walked outside and pet her new Doodle.
"At least there's still hope."
