In the tall building. Rita was at the top floor at her desk looking at papers. Her workers and employes were working peacefully around her. The world seemed to be filled with smoothness. Runt was the only one in the room with Rita. He was wearing a red tie from his neck watching her in silence.

Suddenly, the doors burst open. Runt swung his head around and Rita perked up slowly as Skippy bounced toward her desk. "Yes, what is it?" Rita asked him. Skippy met her gaze even though it was stern with a cold fire as if something was wrong.

"Rita, c'mon. It was your orders; about the 'new guy'..." the squirrel told her. Finally, Rita looked relaxed. She laid back in her chair waiting for him to continue.

"Ah, yes. Please, go on." she insisted still holding her gaze.

"Well, he said he would join." Skippy explained. Rita sat straight up in her chair and picked up the phone right next to her. She did it a few times but Runt nor Skippy could make out what she was saying or who she was calling. At last, she put it down and flicked her tail to Skippy beckoning him to come where she was.

She leaned over and whispered, "Bring him in." Skippy silhoutted her and bounded off out of the room. Runt flashed a confused glance at Rita, but she just nodded with a smile.


In the hallway outside the door, Yakko was sitting on a bench playing with two paddle balls. "Rita, wishes you to come in." the squirrel happily announced. Yakko stood up and walked pass him and through the doors.

"Yakko, you're clever that you've joined this corporation," Rita started. Yakkoproudly stood there in front of her. "But you're a fool because you know nothing to be serious about this." she finished. The Warner looked at her wonderingly. Rita was right, he barely knew anything then to act like somewhat of an idiot...but clever.

"Rita, I'll do my best, you know that!" he tried to insist the feline. Rita suddenly looked like a mixture of feelings: proud, happy, and uncertain.

"You really know how to talk your way out of this...alright, you can join fair and square. After all, we do need more people. Fine. But we must announce this conundrum to the others; so, they know you work her and so you can recieve your code name. So, I have taken the liberty to call everyone to this top floor." The cat decided carefully. Did Rita have this 'code name' when she started.

As if she again read his mind, she addedly fiinnished, "I also have a code name. Mine is, Songstar. From now, you will adress my no other than that name! Same as everyone else you will call them by that as they will you," she explained.

Yakko dipped his head in greeting until something caught his attention. Thousands of knocks were coming from the door. Skippy shrugged to Rita as he stood next to the door. "Let them come in!" Rita shouted. Just down, the doors flung open. Everyone was pouring into the room. Wakko, Dot, Slappy, Hello Nurse, Minerva, Pinky, and Brain.

Rita stood on her desk in front of the crowd while Yakko stood on the ground in front of her while Dot and Wakko approached him. The cat flicked her tail for silence. Eventually, the voices died down. "I have an announce." she called. Than all eyes were on her. Rita only kept her eyes on Yakko as she continued talking, "I, Icestar, call upon the voices of this crowd to welcome this newbie." she started. "Yakko Warner, do you promise to follow our rules, learn our ways, and fight rights for this company?"

"I do," Yakko replied confindently.

"Than by the authority invested in me, I give you the priveldge of working here and your code name. If you do not follow the rules you will be nameless as punishment! Yakko Warner, from this moment until you recieve your employie name you will be known as Yakkingpaw. We'll honor your cleverness and acting and we now welcome as a full apprentice." she finished before turning to Minerva and Skippy. Whoah, you sure do a lot more talking than I do. C'mon author! Gimme more lines! Yakkingpaw added silently to himself.

"Rippedheart, Minerva, and Squirrelflight, Skippy. You two are mentoring Tigerpaw, Wakko and Dot, Swiftpaw. Please mentor Yakkingpaw until I find someone suitable enough to train him." In unicon. Rippedheart, Squirrelflight, Tigerpaw, Swiftpaw, and Yakkingpaw nodded to their boss and headed out the door and outside.

It had gotten to be evening by the time they had been left alone outside. The sun would soon by gone. "Well, Yakkingpaw, we'd better give you a tour of the studio." Rippedheart suggested. Squirrelflight flicked his fluffy squirrel tail in agreement. As the three apprentices, Tigerpaw, Swiftpaw, and Yakkingpaw followed their mentors, Yakkingpaw couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Did you guys go through that, too?" he whispered to Tigerpaw.

"Yep," Tigerpaw replied. "We're sorry we didn't tell you about this earlier. We've been doing this for a month." A month?!!?

"To answer your question better, our names are given by our personality." Swiftpaw added. They kept walking and talking and always following their bushy-tailed mentors on the tour. Until there was a screech that alarmed them.

"Yakkingpaw!!! Watch out!" Rippedheart cried.
