"WHOA!"
Rain, Mel, and Jazz all exclaimed as they were thrown out of Mr. Plotz's office. Rain stood up and brushed off her sweater and shorts. She shook her fist at the door. "You wait til I get in contact with my lawyer! He'll sue you for every penny you've got!"
Jazz raised an eyebrow at Rain. "You don't have a lawyer."
"Shh!" Rain smacked her hand over Jazz's mouth. "They don't need to know that." she whispered.
"Let's just get going..." Mel said as she began to walk off. Jazz and Rain quickly followed.
Rain looked at her older sister. "Uh, going where?"
"Away from here." The green-clad dog-cat groaned. She frowned at her surroundings, wishing she was back home, in reality.
Jazz looked to her left and smiled. "Who are they?"
The girls turned to see 3 kids, looking similar to themselves, messing with Jonas the guard. There were 2 boys and a girl. The taller boy was wearing brown pants, the other boy was wearing a red cap and a blue sweater, and the girl was wearing a pink skirt and had a flower clip holding her ears up. Rain perked up at the sight of them. "Those are the Warners."
Mel and Jazz watched in slight horror while Rain laughed at their antics. But, unfortunately, Jonas had grabbed the Warners and held them up in the air. "It's back to the water tower with you 3!"
Rain pouted. Then, she snuck over to him, despite Mel's protests. She quickly tied Jonas' shoelaces in multiple knots. Yakko looked down at her. She shushed him silently as she finished the knots. He made an 'ok' gesture and winked at her.
Just as Jonas took a step, he fell to the ground. His grip on the Warners was loosed enough for them to escape. He glared down at his shoes, then at the loudly laughing dog-cat that was running away with the Warners and her sisters. "You're gonna pay for this, you troublesome dog-cat!"
Rain stuck her tongue out at him. "You'll have to catch me first, bully!"
Once they all were a safe distance away from Jonas, the Warners and dog-cats stopped to catch their breath. Rain smiled at the Warners. "Are you guys okay?"
Yakko nodded. "Thanks for the help back there. Ralph was pretty easy to deal with, but Jonas..." Yakko shook his head. "Jonas can do his job."
Mel looked at Yakko, a light blush tinting her cheeks. Jazz was the same way. Yakko looked over at them. Then, his eyes turned into hearts and his tongue rolled out of his mouth. "HELLOOOOOOOO, DOG-CATS!" He started doing a bunch of zany, lovey-dovey stuff before Dot had to resort to smacking him over the head with a mallet.
She sighed. "Boys..."
Rain shrugged. "They're a mystery..."
Then, she noticed that Wakko hadn't been a part of Yakko's fawning over her sisters. Rain turned around and saw Wakko looking at her. He quickly looked at the ground. 'That's strange...' she thought to herself.
Jazz waved her hand in front of Yakko's face. "Is he okay?"
Dot nodded. "He's fine. But, he'll be unconscious for a while." She slung her brother over her shoulder. "Then, he'll be fawning over you two again."
Mel crossed her arms and glared at Jazz, who did the same.
"By the way," Dot interjected. "Who are you guys?"
"Oh, well I'm-" Mel was interrupted. She glowered at Rain, who was jumping up and down, waving her hand in the air.
"Oh! Oh! Let me do it!" Rain said. Then, she cleared her throat. "We're the Dog-Cats! I'm Rain!" She nudged her sisters, motioning for them to file in and continue.
"I'm Jazz!"
"And, I'm Mel." Mel said, not really into it.
Rain pouted at her. "You ruin everything." Soon, the 2 launched into an argument, calling names and threatening to hit each other with mallets and anvils.
Wakko watched them, mostly paying attention to Rain. She was absolutely adorable to him. He was glad that he wouldn't have to compete with his brother for her affection, seeing as Yakko would most likely have 2 girls fighting over him.
He pulled his red cap over his face to hide his ever-growing blush. Dot looked over at him, confused. 'What's up with him?' she wondered.
Rain pulled out a gigantic mallet with spikes on it, shaking it at her older sister. "YOU WANNA BE 12 FEET UNDER?!" Jazz, Wakko, and Dot all had to hold her back to keep her from hammering Mel into the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down!" Dot said. "Why don't we go to the water tower and cool off, huh?"
Rain smiled. "Okay!" She dropped the mallet, which accidentally landed on Mel. She looked at her flattened sister in panic. "Oh, Mel! Are you okay?!" She pulled her off of the ground and stretched her out. Mel's body popped back into place.
Mel swayed back and forth, her eyes dilating and shrinking. She shook her head furiously and snapped out of her trance. She glowered at her younger sister, who chuckled nervously. "Hehehe... Oops?" Rain shrugged her shoulders, hoping her sister would accept her answer.
Rain yelped in fear as Mel started chasing her in a circle, wielding a large mallet. Jazz groaned in worry as she watched them, ready to intervene with they got too hectic. Yakko, having been dropped on the ground by Dot, sat up and rubbed his head. "What happened?"
He blinked as he watched Mel chase after her sister. He turned to Dot. "What happened with them?"
"They're girls. Do you really want to understand why they do anything?" Dot smirked as Yakko shook his head.
"Shouldn't we be getting to the water tower?" Wakko suggested.
Rain stopped running from Mel and smiled at him. She linked arms with him, much to Wakko's delight. "Okay, Wakko! Let's go!" Wakko's eyes became hearts as they started walking to the Warner water tower. Jazz, Mel, Yakko, and Dot followed behind them.
