Oh, sorry, Emmygirl822 and frumouttamimind, I didn't see your reviews for Chapter 16! But here's a thanks now. OK, now, on with the chapter.

Alex: Thanks for the Chapter 17 reviews, from xBrianna123x, frumouttamimind, Emmygirl822, A Scribbler and Kibalover1998. Oh, and SideshowJazz1 does not own the song "It Takes Two" from the musical Hairspray.

I didn't really understand. We went to a movie – some story about a group of teenagers stranded on an island – girls and guys. It had brutality and romance in it, so it was an OK mix. The girl who died in it reminded me of the popular girls in my grade. She was that pretty and that blonde and that fiesty. But why would I need to watch it as a toon?

After the movie, another question plagued me. When Yakko and I were back in the car, I asked it. "So, at this moment, do I have toon abilities?"

"Try something." he suggested. I thought about it, for a moment, then smiled.

"Do you have the bag?" I asked. Yakko had brought it, for some reason, so I reached in, and brought out a laptop, which was marked 'EXPLODES ON ORDER'.

I grinned and opened it. Then I put it a few feet away from anyone passing. "Explode." I ordered, and it did. Of course, no one was hurt. I couldn't help giggling. "That was awesome! Why didn't I ever get to be a toon other times in the summer?"
"Well..." Yakko said, "I only discovered this way to turn humans into toons last summer, and you were avoiding us then."

I shrugged. Then I smiled. "Well, at least now I'm equal to you, for some time! I have a counter attack."

"Careful, Princess Alexandra. You're up against highly experienced toons." Yakko teased.

For once, I didn't scowl at him. I simply said "I'm still not a princess."

"Well, then, I guess you're opposed to Burger King, if you're not a princess."

"Are you kidding?" I exclaimed. "If we're getting fast food, why not?"

We did actually go to Burger King, and found a booth in the corner. It wasn't exactly Italiano food, but it was fun to go there. Plus, I put a couple quarters into the jukebox and so my favourite songs were playing.

Finally, when we were back in the car, that's when I asked the one question that I had forgotten. "How does anything on this date make it necessary for me to be a toon? Also, how do I turn back to human form?"

"It's easy." Yakko said, avoiding my first question. "All you have to do from changing from toon to human or human to toon from now on, is to close your eyes again, then focus on what you want to be for five seconds. After that, you should have turned back."

I tried that right now, and this time, there was no pain. I just opened my eyes, and I was back to normal. I quickly turned myself back into a toon, just to ask my first question again. "So how did anything on this date make it necessary for me to be a toon? It's fun, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't seem necessary."

"For one thing, it's fun. Now you can actually join in with us. That was kind of fun, back when we were little kids."

I thought back to those times when I'd happily joined in with the Warners. Now I could do so again, although I knew it couldn't be the same, because my fifteen-year-old self would hold back more.

"And for another," Yakko continued. "It's not over yet."

"So?" I said. "What's next?"

"Remember when you said on the second date had I got anything else planned, and I said kind of, and you said how we were kind of different?" Yakko said. I nodded. "Well, now we're both toons. We're not different at this moment. So I'd thought about that. And that's kind of why the reason I chose to ask you to be a toon for once."

Suddenly, I thought I could hear music playing. "Is this something to do with a duet?"

"No, I just wanted to sing something to you, just while no one's going to hear us." The car was sound-proof, I guessed.

I recognized the song immediately. "They say it's a man's world, but it cannot be denied,

What good's a man's world without a woman, by his side?

So I'll be waiting for that moment you decide,

That I'm your man and you're my girl

That I'm the sea and you're the pearl

It takes two, baby...it takes two." All three of the Warners always had good voices, so I could enjoy the singing, even if I had hated the song But I loved it, too. The lyrics were sweet, and so was the tune.

"A king ain't a king without the power behind the throne." Yakko continued.

"A prince is a pauper, babe, without a chick to call his own,

So please darling, choose me, I don't wanna rule alone.

Tell me I'm your king and you're my queen, that no one else can come between

It takes two, baby, it takes two..."

The song ended after a couple more verses. I had to smile, and at one point, I even closed my eyes, just listening. I only opened my eyes when it ended, feeling a little bit disappointed.

"Alexandra Romara, I don't want to drag this out any longer." Yakko said. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I was struck at this. I didn't know whether I had fallen in love, as of yet. But I could see this was a serious question. I couldn't deny it, I did kind of like Yakko in that way. My mind kept saying 'no', though, reminding me that I wasn't actually a toon.

But I had to make a decision. "Yes." I finally whispered.

The boy opposite me smiled. "I hoped you would. Now I can finally show you exactly why I wanted you to be a toon for tonight."
And with that, Yakko Warner kissed me.

Wow. I wasn't sure exactly where this was going, but it ended the way I wanted. Leave a review! Now this will probably be the last chapter for some time. Also, the movie in this was a vague description of my story "Twelve Girls, Thirteen Boys and Savages", if you want to know. It can be found with my other fanfics.
