Chapter 3: New friends and Housing Hunting: Part 1
Last time in Maelstrom on the lot; as suddenly as it all appeared, it was all gone. They were all back in Plotz's office, same day and only twenty minutes later. Above the fox was a flashing APPLAUSE sign. Immediately, the Warners started cheering, clapping and whistling. Mr. Plotz, on the other hand just said, "but… who are you?" the fox grinned and said, in a mirth filled voice, "oh! Naruto Uzumaki, at your service!" he then bowed to them all.
Now;
After finally introducing himself (I can hear the angels singing now that I don't have to call him fox anymore), Naruto looked to each person and asked sheepishly, "so… who are you guys?" this in turn made fall on his face at the stupid question, after all he JUST did a huge musical number. Standing up he straightened his tie and said, "My name is Thaddeus Plotz, CEO of-"he was interrupted by Naruto laughing loudly. Gasping for breath as he laughed, Naruto wheezed out," you… your initials are T.P?! Are you extra soft too?" this started the Warners laughing as well, causing them all to roll on the floor, ceiling, and all around the office laughing.
Becoming angry, Plotz yelled, "WILL YOU ALL BE QUIET?!" immediately the laughter stopped, with all four toons standing in front of Plotz with little, innocent smiles. (HAHAHAHA! Sorry, but putting 'innocent' anywhere near those four is hilarious to me) "yes sir, Mr. toilet paper sir!" Naruto said and saluted along with the Warners. Plotz just growled as he continued, "As I was saying… I am the CEO of the warner Brothers studios." Pointing towards Ralph, he said," and this is Ralph, chief of security." Looking over at Ralph, Naruto gave a deadpan stare, "biiiigggg man on campus, isn't he?" the Warners all giggled quietly at the joke about Ralph's gut. The joke, like everything else, when right over Ralph's head as he smiled happily. "Dah… Thanks!" he cried happily. Naruto just stared at him before turning to the Warners, choosing to ignore the walking brick house.
Smiling at Dot for a moment, he then asked, "and you three are?" the Warners all smiled at their cue. Putting their arms around each other, the brothers spoke in unison," we're the Warner Brothers!" Yakko held out his hand and shook Naruto's," Yakko's the name, Yakking's my game!" Wakko just burped out "Wakko" and said, "Excuse me" as his introduction. Dot then jumped back into Naruto's arms and said, "And the Warner sister, Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third." For a few moments, Naruto just stared at her. All those names bouncing around in his head, bringing it close to melt down, until she said, " but you can call me Dot, call me Dottie and…" she stopped for a minute and thought about it, 'well, maybe it'll be nice to hear HIM call me Dottie.' She eventually shook her head and just said, "… call me anything you want, just be sure to call."
Smiling brightly, and completely missing the shocked faces of Yakko and Wakko at the new intro from their sister, he just said, "a pleasure to meet you Dot-chan. I hope you all take good care of me from now on." This got two reactions from two different people. From dot, a full body blush, and from Yakko, another kiss and "goodnight everybody." Chuckling at the blushing toon in his arms, Naruto turned to Mr. Plotz and said, "All joking aside for now, I'm glad to be here." Mr. Plotz sighed as he asked, "and, WHY are you here?" Naruto just grinned and said, "Some guy named Steven invited me to come live here after meeting him in my home country of Japan." It took a minute for that to process in Plotz's head, once it did he was struck with fear, anger, and depression. Fear, because he had just been yelling at a personal invite of Mr. Spielberg. Anger, because no one consulted HIM about a new toon moving in. Finally, depression because the new toon was like a fourth warner. His only thought, before he passed out from shock, was, 'I HATE my life.'
Nudging the unconscious Plotz with his foot, Naruto whistled. "Who knew you could turn that white from one sentence," he said. Shrugging it off for later he turned around and smiled, "alright, who do you have to prank to find a new home around here?" Dot immediately sat up in his arms (betcha forgot she was there, didn't cha?) "Oh! You can come stay at our place!" she squealed excitedly. Yakko just raised an eyebrow, "uhhhhh… might not be a good idea my littlest sib" Dot looked confused, "why not? We have plenty of room" 'AND, it gives me time with the new hunk of the year,' she thought to herself. Yakko rolled his eyes. "Yeeeah we do, BUT we can barely feed the bottomless pit we can brother over there," he said as he pointed towards Wakko, who had just started chewing on Plotz's desk. Naruto just laughed and said, "That's alright, I need to see more of the place anyways. I can do that and house hunt for a while."
Dot pouted at the fact that he would be leaving soon, "oh alright," she sighed. Then she looked Naruto in the face and said sternly, "but as soon as you get that house, I'm coming over to visit." She then jumped out of his arms and walked over to her Brothers. Naruto just smiled and walked towards the door, "alright, that sounds fun to me. See you guys later." Closing the door as he left, he missed Yakko asking when the wedding was and Dot smashing him with Wakko's hammer.
Park/Forest 3 hours later
After walking around the lot for a while, Naruto eventually found a place filled with trees. Taking a deep breath in as he walked, he exhaled with a sigh, "now this is a place I could live for a while. Trees, nature, freedom, what more could a guy-. "He stopped suddenly when he heard a rather loud BOOM in the distance. Confused, he started walking towards a tree that was cut out to look like a regular house. Complete with a blue front door, windows, and a red shingle "roof" over the door. Smiling widely, Naruto thought to himself, 'hey, maybe who ever lives here can help me find a home.'
Walking up to the door, he knocked three times and waited for someone to answer. After a few moments the door opened to reveal a small, young brown squirrel. He hadn't even looked at Naruto yet when he asked politely, "can I help you?" Naruto raised and eyebrow, wondering what was so interesting that he wouldn't even look at the door. Shaking the thought away, he asked, "yes, sorry to interrupt little guy, but is there someone older here I can talk to? I don't really think you can help me with what I need." Whatever was so interesting was apparently gone, because the little squirrel started to turn to Naruto as he said, "oh yeah. I can get… my…aunt…" the little guy stopped as he finally saw Naruto, and noticed his sharp canine teeth as he smiled. Wondering why he stopped talking, Naruto started to ask, "hey, you alright little-"he was cut off as the squirrel screamed, "AUNT SLAPPY!" and ran back into the house, slamming the door as he went. Naruto blinked in surprise and titled his head a little to the left, asking to himself, "was it something I said?"
Before he could think about it more, the door was slammed open by an older, grey squirrel wearing a green hat with a flower in it. She also happened to be carrying a GIANT rocket launcher over her shoulder. "Who are you and what do ya want?" she asked in a gruff, but definitely female voice. Blinking again, Naruto just smiled and said, "well, as I was trying to tell the little guy before, I need help trying to find a home to live in. you see I'm just moving in and I kind of need help." Ask he talked he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. The grey squirrel looked him over, taking in everything about him before speaking. "You don't have any clue who I am, do you?" she asked in a deadpan voice. Naruto just smile and cried, "NOPE!"
Sighing, the grey squirrel called into the tree-house, "false alarm Skippy! Just a new neighbor." She then turned back to Naruto and said, "My name is Slappy. Slappy squirrel. The little guy was my nephew, Skippy." Happy to finally get a name, Naruto introduced himself. "Cool. I'm Naruto, pleasure to meet you," he said with a small bow. Scowling, Slappy said, "now, here's a little secret 'pal'" she beckoned him closer and whispered in his ear, "I don't care about helping people….SO GET LOST!" she screamed the last part in his ear, then slammed the door into his face HARD.
Grabbing the back of his head, Naruto gave a hard tug and pulled his face from the door. While his face was alright, the door had and indention of him sticking his tongue out and pulling his eyelid down. Turning to the audience, he just smiled and said, "I knew I was hard headed, but what a way to test it." Shrugging, he turned around and started walking deeper into the forest. 'Maybe the next person can help me out,' he thought to himself.
