Chapter 2: A Dodo and Three Weird Kiddies

'I'm stuck in a bottle, floating in the middle of a big pond,' she thought while sitting in her glass prison, 'I must be having a nightmare.' Piper stared at the water outside, thinking about how she had got into this predicament. She had come to the conclusion that if she hadn't followed that blue furry, she wouldn't have ended up in this mess. Though it went against her better judgment to find a way home, she wanted to see where that thing was heading to after all the trouble she was getting herself through. But first, she needed to get out of here.

After she floated for a while, she heard something off in the distance. She looked over to see a blonde man in a late 18th century coat, shirt, pants, hat, gloves, and shoes. He was in a boat with two birds rowing. Probably out exploring new lands or something, he sang a little tune that went like this.

"Sailing, sailing, over the ocean blue! Hope to hit new lands before 1492." He took out an eyeglass and spied out in a random direction. Afterwards, he shouted, "Ahoy! And some other nautical nonsense. Dry Land A-Ho!"

"Aye aye, Domiwick!" said one of the birds as the two started to row to dry. Piper raised an eyebrow at the scene. The person who was on that boat couldn't be the same pompous jerk that she used to worshipped back home. Maybe she was going a little bit crazy. After all, she was now viewing various creatures swimming past her. She soon snapped out of her thinking when she realized that there was a chance for her to be rescue.

"Hey! You swimming there, Help me!" Her cries were drown out by the glass barrier and of course, the rolling waves. Several seconds later, she realized the futility of yelling at the strange creatures and decided to wait until she reached land. Hopefully, it would be soon. She was tired of the tossing through the waters.

A while later, she heard some singing from afar and looked over to the same creatures running around a huge rock and getting wet from the surf. On top of the rock, Domiwick was singing as well while getting warm by a fire. Even though it was a strange sight to see, she wouldn't be surprised if her world's Domiwick done the same thing.

Piper soon felt a shift in balance, making her realized that the bottle was caught in one of the huge waves. As it tumbled, she soon found herself on the beach sitting in the sand. The good news was that she finally out of the bottle. The bad news was that she landed in the middle of the strange ritual.

The girl quickly got up and started to run around the rock. After a couple of laps, she started to question why everyone was running around in the first place. From a logical standpoint, this was completely silly. However, since she was in some strange world, she looked up at Domiwick and asked, "Hey! What is this? Why are we running?"

The man looked down at her before answering, "Simple, this is a Caucus Race. It's the effective way of getting dry." That explanation caused her to sweatdrop. There was no way she could get dry like this, especially near a high waves area. Speaking of which, one came toppling down on the running group.

It soon receded, revealing a wet Piper with her hair drenched. She quickly shook off the water and turned her head back to Domiwick. "I can think of many effective ways of drying off other than running around on the beach. One of them being a towel."

"Yes, but this way is much more fun." His answer made her cringed. How could anyone consider this fun? Before she could reply, she caught a glimpse of the Blue Furry coming onto the shore, riding his umbrella on the water. Once on the beach, he got off, closed his umbrella, and ran off into the forest. Piper got out of the "fun run" circle and towards the forest, ignoring the calls from Domiwick.

She continued to chase until she came upon a clearing, losing track of creature. "Argh, this is so irritating." She then sat on a log, figuring out whether she should continue to chase after the creature or to look for a way out of this place. If she continued to follow it, she might end up more lost in this place. Going back home was out of the question since she didn't know the way back. However, she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Suddenly, the girl heard some ruffling in the bushes. "Hey, who's there?" She didn't get an answer, but the shuffling still continued and now there were some giggles. "Alright! I know Sky Fu and I'm not afraid to use it!" It seemed to have silent whoever was doing that and, she can relaxed and think of a plan. Unfortunately, the creatures making the noise were also clever and equally annoying.

"HI!"

Piper quickly jumped and turned around to look at the people who said that. Strangely, they were kids, two boys and a girl… Cartoonish animal-looking kids. They look like a cross between a cat and a dog, with red noses and black/white fur. They were also dressed as old-timey school kids with the boys having propeller hats and the girl having a flower hat. Though their appearance was obvious, the crystal specialist still didn't know who they were.

"I'm Tweedle Dee," said the tallest of the three children.

"I'm Tweedle Dum," said the boy with the Scouse accent.

"And I'm Tweedle Dot," said the girl as she posed cutely. "However, call me Tweedle Dotty and you'll die."

"…What?" Piper was really confused by these three kids. For one thing, they popped out of nowhere from behind her. And also, they didn't seem like any creature she had seen on Atmos. The trio noticed her confusion and blinked at her.

"… Weeeellll, just to be on the safe side; how 'bout calling me Yakko," The eldest pointed at himself. "Him, Wakko," The red-hatted kid waved. "And her, Dot."

The female cartoon character replied, "The name rule still applies."

Piper blinked, before standing up. "What… Are you?" Like said before, she didn't know what kind of creatures they were. For all she knew, they could be some kind of new species in this strange land.

"Well, we're the Tweedle brothers," Yakko and Wakko said at the same time as they bowed.

"And the Tweedle sister," Dot said after as she curtsied. Well, they did seem nice. And it wouldn't hurt to ask them where the Blue Furry went.

The crystal specialist took a deep breath to relax her. "Well, have you seen a Blue Furry around here? Big ears, long tail, has been carrying a pocket watch." Her question was short and to the point. Also, the extra details would help them if they had seen the creature.

"Why, yea, we have seen the Blue Furry," Yakko answered, giving Piper some hope. He then turned to his sister. "Dot, have you seen a blue creature with a pocket watch anywhere?"

"Of course, Yakko, like it isn't that hard to spot it," Dot replied before turning to Wakko. "Have you seen a pocket watch?"

"Why, I have one right now." Wakko took out a pocket watch from his "Gag" bag. Attached to the pocket watch was a White Rabbit.

Dot crossed her arms with disappointment. "No, no. There was supposed to be a Blue Furry attached to it."

"Oh," The middle child said, before putting the watch plus rabbit away. "Sorry, then. Haven't seen him."

"No, Dice." The cute girl responded as she turned to Yakko.

"Maybe you should try to "Lost and Found"?" Piper's jaw quickly dropped at the scene in front of her. She asked one simple question and somehow, it led her to a dead end with a waste of time.

She sighed again before asking, "Well… Do you know the way out of this place?" If she wasn't going to find out where the Blue Furry was going, she still needed to find the exit to this forest and more preferably, this land.

"Why, sure," Yakko said, before the three of them took out a huge map. "First, you take a left here, and then a right, and then you go here, here, here…" The kid was pointing at a lot of different places, making the specialist's head ached. She hoped that his directions would help get her out of here. Unfortunately, the conclusion to the mess of directions was, "And that's number one of how not to get out of here. Wanna hear number two?"

Piper groaned angrily but before she could rip her hair out, she calmed herself instead of going nuts. "You know what? I'm just going now." She was about to leave. However before she could, all three kiddies hopped onto her body.

"But you can't leave yet."

"Don't you know it's very rude to leave people when they only met you?" Well, that did seem like good moral logic. However, that didn't mean that they deserve politeness either.

"So is wasting time."

"That's a great idea!" Yakko exclaimed, "We should waste time! Forget about recycling and being green nowadays."(Author's note: This is a joke. I support being green on some issues.) The specialist slapped her forehead and groaned. Her patience was wearing thin.

"Look, I just really need to go back. I really don't care about the Blue Furry right now, but my friends might be worried about me." She started to walk away, surprisingly without the trio clinging to her. She stopped after a few steps and soon her angry face melted into guilt as they looked sad.

"Oh sure," the eldest said, "You leave us poor kids alone out in the cold, dark woods, waiting to be prey on by hungry predators and under-paid deforesters."

Wakko continued, "And the worst part about it is that you didn't even tell us a story." They soon started to cry big tears, causing Piper to feel even guiltier. Well, they were just children. And she might as well keep them company for a little bit.

"Well… I could tell you one story now." Her answers instantly made their crying stop and then, they tackled her to the floor. They held her tightly, almost as if she was choking. She was probably going to regret this.

"Oh thank you!" Dot exclaimed as she hugged her. "You know, it really does help to be persuasive." Piper just quickly shook them off and the three immediately sat on a log. She took a few steps back and was about to tell the story about the battle between the Sky Knights and the Cyclonians.

"BORING!"

She looked over at them before she could utter one syllable from her mouth. She didn't even tell it and already they said it was boring. "How do you know? I didn't even tell it yet!"

"Well, we thought of a better story." The three quickly set Piper on the log and then stood in front of her. Next, they started to prepare themselves by coughing and spraying perfume in their mouths. After they were finished, they began,

"And now here's the story,…

A Fishing Day
(Or How Two Lab Mice Tried To Take Over the World)

A Lark (Cyclonis) and a Snipe(Just… Snipe)
Went off to go a fishin'
With them were two lab mice
World Domination they were wishin'

As the two fishers settled
On their fishing spot
The Brain began his lecture
About his latest plot

"Now, Pinky, if you remember
Our plans have been completely furled
But now we have a new scheme
To take over the world!

"Our first task is to collect pearls
From the Oysters down below
To power our laser machine
That causes a vicious flu blow.

"And then they'll come to us
For our concocted cure
And through their cash and praise
I'll be leader for the world!"

His associate, Pinky
Listened to his speech
And finally, he spoke,
"Narf! Geez, Brain, that sounds neat!

" But wouldn't be bad for the angels
If we didn't ring the bells?"
The Brain just slapped his head
His comrade was thinking something else

Brain calmed himself and continued,
"Here are some artificial gills,
Which will help with breathing underwater
For us with no diving skills."

Pinky examined his breather
And said, "Geez, Brain, I don't know…"
Brain replied, "Shush! Quiet, Pinky
We're about to go down below."

Tied with string to a wooden stick
The mice took a plunge
Down to the watery depths,
Home to that annoying sponge

Once reaching the bottom
Without a moment to distress
And now they were ready to begin
Their pearl-hunting quest

After a while, they came upon
The oysters' sleeping bed
The Brain was prepared for negotiations
From the front part of his head

"Oysters, with shells that glisten,
Listen to my word
With your help, I can finally
Take over the world!

"However, I need your pearls
To power my machine.
And in return you shall receive
Achievement beyond your wildest dream!"

The oysters were quiet
Not budging one bit
Until Pinky said,
"Narf! How 'bout some spit?"

With that said, the oyster's reply
To the Brain's wish for the world
Was in the pearls
That they hurled

Meanwhile up above
With the fishers still a-fishin'
The Snipe said to the Lark,
"Is your pole bittin'?"

The Lark replied, "No,
I still say it's bad timing."
Then, the Snipe asked,
"Then, why are we still rhyming?"

Lark raised an eyebrow
"Snipe, stop talking. I mean it."
Snipe replied
"Anyone want a peanut?"

Back at the ocean's bottom
Brain was still working
While Pinky was exploring
His normal shirking

The Brain quickly smirked
His laser at last done
He quickly prepared to
Fire it at one

"Now with this laser
Powered by the pearls
I can now finally
Take over the world!"

As the big-headed mouse ranted
His assistant was in awe
Until something behind him
Gave him a big scared pause

Pinky tapped the Brain
Who turned with a glare
At least until he saw
A big shark with good dental health care

"AHHH!"
Screamed both the mice
As they swam away
Like bug-repelled lice

Unfortunately, they were tied
By fishing line
Making much easier
For the shark to dine

The shark went munch
Had the mice for lunch
But it didn't last long

Because the laser shot
Like a tasered spot
Aim at jaw, big and strong

The shark chucked
The mice up
Onto the beach

Out of the frying pan
And into the sand|
With a big screech

Now with the fishers
Who were wishers
Of having big loot

Until they saw
What they had caught
Was a big old boot

Back at the Brain
Whose head was in pain
"We should prepare for the next night."

Pinky asked,
"What's next forecast
For next night, right?"

The Brain bonk
On Pinky's knock
"No, you idiotic swirled

"We will redo
What we always do
To take over the world!"

The Pinky, The Pinky
And the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.

"So, what do you think?"

Piper's mouth was gapping, trying to think of what to say about it. For one thing, it was interesting. Crazy and random, but yes, it was interesting. "Well… I really didn't understand it. But it was… Something."

"Well, wait 'til you hear the time that we were rulers of Anvilania." Yakko said, causing Piper to groan more. She didn't want to hear another story. She just wanted to go now. The only thing that could save her now was a distraction.

Suddenly, a police whistle sounded, causing the Tweedle Brothers (and Tweedle sister) to perk up. They started to run and disappeared, just as a man that looked like a fat, dumb security officer came onto the scene with a butterfly net. He looked around for a while before running off into the thick of the forest. Piper blinked before standing up and walking off.

"I do not get this place."

Author's Notes:

Here's chapter two! Almost as good as the original one by Tawnyfur, or at least that's what I think.

Now to those who have read the original story by Tawnyfur shall think why I used the Warner Bros as the Tweedles instead of Leugy and Hoerk as in the original story. Well… They are much funnier than any bickering lizards and I love Animaniacs! For those who don't know, the Animaniacs was one of the Greatest Cartoon shows of the 90s. There are clips of it on Youtube so go and see them!

This brings up an important question (At least to this fanfic). Would you like more other characters from other series (Whether it be anime, cartoon, book, or video game) to be in this? Other than Animaniacs, they might play minor parts or the parts that might fit better than the Storm Hawks counterparts. But still, I want to have your own opinion on this. That's why there will be a poll up soon.

Also, I do not own anything that you find familiar that isn't my works. I especially do not own the source where I got the inspiration for the poem. Furthermore, typing a poem that makes sense is hard.

And I would like to thank Kitten2007 and Aivilo246 for reviewing. I'll make sure to update this soon.

Please Read and Review!
