OK, next chapter coming right up! Thanks for reviewing, KaylaMicael, weirdsib, Emmygirl822, Kibalover1998 and frumouttamimind (and since I've stolen so many of your ideas, I'll do Yakko's POV especially for you).

YAKKO'S POV

Why did I ask Alex out in the first place? Truth be told, I didn't have an answer in words. Weird for me, huh?

It was Dot who said exactly what the reason was when I mentioned that I would ask her out, just before the summer. "You like her!" she'd squealed. I could almost hear her interrogating Alex in their room.

"How did it go?" Wakko asked, when he saw I'd gotten back. I was lucky he wasn't like Dot for the moment. Wakko would ask questions like that, but being a boy, he wouldn't ask for every detail.

"OK." I answered. "She said she'd go on another date with me."

Wakko smiled a bit, knowing that it meant a lot more than just a date. "So how did you get her to do that?"

I shrugged. "Who knows? Being normal."

Wakko's face suddenly became more serious than I could remember it ever being. "You can actually be normal for that long?"

"Well, if someone can do it, I can." I said. "OK, so being zany is a habit, and I am not trying to break free, but being normal works at times. All of us can do that." I wasn't going to admit to anyone but my siblings that being zany was so natural to us that acting like a normal person was an effort at times. At least, when we were around people who were just asking for us to start on them. Like Alex sometimes was.

"Not for that long." Wakko countered. "Not around her. She gets so easily annoyed and fights back, I can't resist it."

I grinned. "It doesn't matter. I think I can get around her. She'll stop fighting by the end of the summer, and just accept us. I'll bet she will."

"How much?" Wakko asked immediately. "Not that I don't believe you, but it's fun."

"I'll wager five bucks that I can make Alex accept our zaniness by the end of the summer, and she'll stop getting mad at us."

ALEX'S POV

Dot was merciless in her questioning, asking me for every last detail. She practically made me repeat all our conversations.

"So are you going out again?" Dot finally asked.

"Yes." I admitted. "It was pretty good, as dates go."

"Hey," Dot added, her eyes lighting up in a way that made me know I wasn't going to like what she was about to say. "I forgot to ask. Did you kiss?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "How many people kiss on the first date?"

"Sorry." Dot said insincerely. "It is one of my brothers."

It had been about an hour since she started questioning me, and I felt super-exhausted after that. So I tried to change the subject. "Do you think Mom and Dad will let just the four of us go out while we're here?"

"Definitely." Dot answered, black eyes shining. "I know some fun stuff we can do!"

Over the next week, I noticed a pattern. Every day, we'd do the same thing as we did back in Albuquerque – we'd go out as a group for a couple hours, then Mom and Dad would leave the four of us to our own devices. Sometimes, they'd let us take out the car, as usual, although, as usual, Yakko was the only one that was supposed to drive (although I did have my Learner's), and although he wasn't supposed to take non-driving passengers (restricted rules), Wakko and Dot usually joined us anyway. But although the four of us went out together, Dot and Wakko nearly always seemed to find an excuse to leave Yakko and I alone. I did challenge them, but both insisted they didn't know what I was talking about and it was just coincidence.

Not that I always minded. It was usually our moods. For example, at one point, I was in a tolerant mood, and Yakko was in his most serious mood – not flirting all the time with no reason, and actually able to have a proper conversation. That was the best time. Then there was also the worst time – Yakko was at his most Animaniacs-style, living up to his name to the max, and making word jokes. Also, he was flirting (and for some reason, only with me). To top it off, I was driven to the edge already, since all three of the Warners had been in extreme-Animaniacs mode that day. I'd caught Dot making cute faces in the mirror while she was helping me do my hair, and Wakko had been making full use of his bag of stuff. The last thing I needed was a bunch of word play and flirting.

But on the whole, the pattern wasn't that bad. And on the last night, Mom and Dad left us to have a movie night again. This time, we got out less kiddie movies and more adult stuff. My pick was Scary Movie, a spoof on horror movies, particularly Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

"OK, so let's have another horror movie." Yakko suggested. Wakko picked up a few as suggestions.

"Must we have another horror movie?" Dot whined. "At least Alex picked one that was a parody." The trio refrained from calling me "Princess Alexandra" in earshot of randoms, but they still did it as much as possible.

I was in a loose mood, and I had to smile when I looked at all of the movies Wakko had picked out. "Would that be your cue to swallow those?" I teased. Then I looked at the movies that were there. "So there was Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Exorcist, Psycho-"

"Cut out the first two." Yakko said. "Wrong time."

"Wait a second." I said. "Aren't all of those R16?" The boys immediately moved to put gloved hands over my mouth.

"Don't tell the world you're not sixteen yet!" hissed Dot. I pushed the boys off.

"So what are we having?" I asked. "Nightmare, Exorcist, or Psycho?"

"That Exorcist one is bad luck!" Dot pointed out. "I don't like horror movies anyway!"

We ended up with A Nightmare On Elm Street, which was better than Scary Movie. However, the death scenes did tend to have me hiding my face in a pillow at every opportunity.

I was on the sofa in-between Yakko and Dot. Dot actually did the same as me, blocking out the blood in the first death scene and the guy screaming "Tina! Tina!" But since there was only one pillow, she took it. I couldn't be bothered to go get one, so most of the time, I ended up blocking out stuff by turning away on the side Yakko was on. Of course, I caught sight of one of his sly grins after I tried to block out the second death scene. And just don't ask me how, by the time the lead turned away from her antagonist, saying "I take back every bit of energy I gave you. You're nothing" my head was on his shoulder.

"OK, what the hell was I thinking?" I asked at the end.

"Guess you got scared." Yakko teased me, stating the obvious. "Don't worry, Princess Alexandra, you've got protection." He slung an arm around my shoulders in a mock protective way.

It's weird, I pushed him off, but when he did that, I felt a little prickle of excitement. I just didn't know what it was back then.

But I had no time to think of that. I was too excited about our next stop, which we would go to the next day.

I know I'm making references to several horror movies, but I love those things sometimes. I haven't actually seen "Scary Movie", but I have seen all the "Nightmare" films. Anyway, Kansas is next. I've heard it's boring, so could I have some help on it? Please review, and suggest where Yakko and Alex should go on their Kansas date!
