Going To California, or WakkoRyan Meets The Warners:

The Warners were sitting around in their pajamas, playing Nintendo (not Wii, (((A/N: oh my, what a dumb name for a game system))) or GameCube, or 64, they were playing the original Tetris.) Suddenly they heard a knock at the water tower door.

All three were stunned. "Huh?" said Yakko. "This is the second chapter. Normally in a WakkoRyan fanfic we don't have a major appearance until the fourth."

"Yeah," said Dot. "At least I could have put my dress on and taken out my hair curlers if I would have known we'd appear this early."

Looking back to Wakko to see if he had a comment to make, the other two Warner sibs noticed that he was already in his normal attire.

Yakko and Dot both took a breath and opened their mouths at the same time, but knowing what they were going to ask, Wakko simply said, "spinchange."

Yakko and Dot simultaneously said, "oh," and began to spinchange. But at the exact moment they began, the person at the door knocked again, startling them, and they ended up tripping and falling into each other, landing in a messy heap on the floor.

Wakko took the opportunity to answer the door, while Yakko and Dot properly spunchanged (((A/N: or is that spinchanged? Shut up Microsoft Word! They are totally words! Don't squigglyredline me! Gah! There is goes again, twice!)))

Considering the length of the author's rant, by this time WakkoRyan had already introduced himself and was in the water tower.

"Oh, there's no need to introduce yourself," said Dot, beginning to blush. "I do follow Carley's DeviantArt account, you know."

Knowing what she was referring to, WakkoRyan blushed too.

"Sorry Dot," he said, "but this is actually Ryan in WakkoRyan's body. You can call me WakkoRyan or WR or whatever, but I don't think we should be in a relationship. It wouldn't be right."

Dot looked a bit forlorn.

"Wait a minute," Yakko interjected. "You're WakkoRyan and at the same time you're the author? The author that barely gave me any lines?"

Wakko spoke, his voice verging on anger. "The author that gave me a near-death experience?" He reached for his mallet, but Dot intervened.

"Wait!" she said. "He may be the one that put us through all that trouble, but he's also the one who saved us."

Wakko and Yakko were still neutral, but not so angry.

Dot continued. "He's also the one that gave us our good friend Vakko. And Xakkharie!"

Yakko and Wakko beamed at the mention of the names of their friend and the nearly two-year-old baby of Xakko and Dottie that they cared for since he was less than a week old, because his parents were in jail.

"Alright," said Wakko, putting his mallet away. "Truce?"

"Truce," WakkoRyan agreed, shaking Wakko's hand. "Truce?" he said to Yakko.

"Truce." Yakko said, making this the fourth time in thirteen words that that word was used, or the fourth time in a row that it was spoken.

WakkoRyan couldn't help but make the motion of wiping sweat from his brow.

"Come on," said Yakko, motioning to the door. "Since this is your first time here, we'll show you around."

First off, Dot showed WakkoRyan her flower and shrubbery garden at the base of the water tower.

Then, Yakko showed WR Hello Nurse and Minerva, greeting them in a predictable way.

Wakko showed WakkoRyan something just a few blocks away that was opened just for Wakko himself. It was the new Faboo Times Two™ Ice Cream Company factory. Ryan, (((A/N: remember, it's me in WakkoRyan's body))) was confused since he hadn't written this into any of his stories, although he had created the brand name. Then again, he hadn't written about Dot's flower garden so he wasn't too concerned that the world he had created was making its own designs. (Well, at least it was his opinion that he was essentially using virtual reality…he still didn't know it was something more.)

Next, they visited ACME Labs just in time to catch Vakko at the end of his shift. Due to Ryan's background in Chemical Technology (((A/N: that's not fictional by the way,))) he got into a conversation about several of the projects on the go at the lab.

WakkoRyan was having lots of fun, so he suggested that maybe the whole group try to get some other cast members from Animaniacs together for a party at the water tower.

Ryan (or WakkoRyan or whatever…all the same right now) pointed out that since they were at ACME Labs, the first guests to look for should be Pinky and the Brain. Unfortunately, when they got to their cage, there was simply a note saying, "gone to take over the world." Well, so much for inviting them.

Next, they went to invite Slappy, Minerva, and even the Mime, but they were all out too.

"Oh well," WakkoRyan said, marking the first time in more than half a page that anyone had spoken. "A party with 5 people is still a party…especially when they are all Warners."

That night, the Warners set up the outside of the top of the tower with deck chairs and patio lanterns.

Luckily, they didn't have to worry about getting a babysitter for Xakkharie since he was being taken care of by Butter and hanging out with Remi. Of course, in WakkoRyan's body, Ryan was happy that some or most of the elements of some of his favorite fanfics existed in this universe that he had managed to enter. He kept wondering if maybe other FanFiction writers would show up ((A/N: I originally wrote a name there, but without her permission, I decided to be nonspecific.))) One of the only differences he had seen so far was that Butter lived on the other side of the country, where her creator Carley did. Ryan wondered if Carley and Butter both existed in this universe, but then he got to thinking about whether he did too in New Brunswick despite the fact that he was here in Burbank being represented by WakkoRyan, and whether WakkoRyan also existed here, and he got really confused, just like anyone who is reading this fairly long sentence and paragraph.

As the Warner sibs and Vakko were setting up for the party, WakkoRyan went out and bought some snacks. Climbing the ladder with one hand, and holding a case of root beer and a crate of party mix in the other, WakkoRyan lost his grip. Flailing so he wouldn't fall, he reached for the top platform right above the top rung. He managed to get a small cut from the platform, but it was too small to warrant any concern. Since he was wearing the same gloves that most Warners do, they acted like an automatic bandage to the wound that was smaller than even a paper cut. What WakkoRyan should have noticed was that since he was a toon, he should not have been able to be injured.
