Xakko looked at the chapter title. "That chapter title looks vaguely familiar."
(((A/N: I keep telling you…stop letting the audience know you can see that!)))
"It's the title for chapter 11 in the first story, Mr. X-acto-knife." said Wakko.
"Hey! It's Xakko…you know, pronounced like Zakko."
"Then why don't you spell it with a Zee?"
"I dunno (scratches chin)…why is it spelled that way, Ryan?"
(((A/N: Well first of all Wakko, it's not Zee, it's Zed. Anyways, I was too lazy to come up with original names so I just used the letter in-between W and Y, using the same name pattern. Same for Vakko – letter before the three already used.)))
"Ah, I see," said Xakko. "Anyways, about the chapter title, now that I think about it, in the first story it was 'The Part Where The Villain Tells The Protagonists His Plan.' This is 'The Part Where The Villains Tell The Protagonist Their Plan.' Similar but not the same."
Wakko rolled his eyes. "Yeah, real original, Ryan. Gimme a break!"
(((A/N: Silence! Can't you see the chapter title? It's Xakko's turn to talk.)))
Wakko scowled.
Dottie then spoke up. "Hey! My plan, my speech!"
Ryan almost fell out of his chair.
Xakko pretended to straighten his tie, even though he wasn't wearing one, and beckoned Dottie to explain.
" Well this is a bit of a long story so get comfortable. Now of course you know about the ICC™. It can hurt a toon but not kill, right? Well, that's the theory due to the results so far. Personally, I say there just hasn't been enough research done on the subject. So I did some research – and stole some research – and I believe I have come up with a technique that will change the results from injury causing to fatal."
Evil smirk and Mr. Burns-esque finger-tent. Music in the background evilly goes Da Da DA DA DA DAAAAAA. Sorry if you can't picture the music.
"The ICC™ evaporates at 33C, and most mammals (Warners included) have a body temperature of nearly 40C, so it doesn't evaporate in the air unless it's pretty hot, but evaporates on contact with skin. (((A/N: I'm not converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Do that yourselves!))) My theory is that prolonged contact with the ICC™ will allow it to do more, irreversible, damage. So we're going to drown you in it, Wakko."
Wakko paused for a moment. "Is that it?" he said.
Dottie looked confused. "Um, yeah."
"That wasn't a long story."
"Yeah, well this is Ryan we're talking about here."
"True…well, what if this plan doesn't work?" Wakko mockingly questioned.
Dottie and Xakko exchanged worried glances. Knowing that Wakko obviously saw this, Xakko knew he had to redeem himself with a scary comment worthy of ending the chapter in a cliffhanger-like way.
"We'll think of something," Xakko said. "Believe me, we won't give up until you're dead."
(((A/N: Oooh, good save.)))
