Disclaimer: I do not own Animaniacs or Naruto. Each is owned by its respective writer, producer, director, etc. etc. Just to let all my readers, I will be starting a new upload schedule today. From now on I will be swapping back and forth between the two stories I have until they are finished, that way I can focus on one a day. Thanks for all the reviews and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 5: House Hunting: Part 3/Finale
Last time, on Maelstrom on the lot; they nodded as they arrived at a clearing in the park. Naruto sat with his back against a tree, with Rita and Runt curling up next to him. He smiled as he started falling asleep, 'life is goooood.'
Now;
The morning sunlight shined down into the clearing where the three friends laid sleeping. Rita was laying down on Runt's back, curled up to get comfortable. Runt's head rested on Naruto's knee, while our favorite fox was snoring lightly while against his tree. The sun eventually reached our hero, going straight for his eyes (BOOOM! HEADSHOT!). His eyes shuddered as he tried to ignore the sunlight, and failed. Squinting in irritation, he mumbled to himself, "Damn you, you giant ball of gas. One day I'll find a way to destroy you." Sighing he looked at his lap and chuckled. He nudged Rita and tried to wake her up first. "Rita…hey Rita, time to get up," he whispered to her. She yawned and stretched her back before saying, "That was the best night sleep I've gotten in forever." She opened her eyes and glanced at Naruto with a smile, "Morning Naruto." He just nodded and sighed, "Think you can get Runt up? If we're going to find a home soon we need to get a move on.
It took a second for his words to register in her tired mind, but when it did her eyes widened. "Wait, 'we'?" she asked in a timid voice. Naruto just smirked, "you really think I'm going to leave my new friends alone out here? I feel so insulted." Rita was stunned, no one had ever offered to let them live with them, it was a real shock. 'A home? A real home?' her eyes watered for a moment before a thousand watt smile appeared on her face and she bounced on Runts head. "WAKE UP BIG GUY! WE"RE GETTING A HOME!" she cried out in joy. Naruto watched as she and Runt, who just woke up, jumped with joy at the thought of a home. He smiled and thought, 'it'll be nice to live with friends. Now, let's try and find an apartment or something.
Noon; apartment buildings near the Warner's tower
After spending a few hours looking around, they wandered to the apartments next to the water tower. Looking around, Naruto sighed, "Wish we had some help finding a place." Before he could do anything else-
BANG!
His head shot up quickly to see the Warner Brothers logo on the water tower was swung open, and his friends the Warners were coming out. Smiling brightly, he called out to them, "HEY! YAKKO! WAKKO! DOT-CHAN!" they glanced down at him and they all smiled, Dot much more than her brothers, before jumping down towards them. Yakko went into a swan dive, before pulling up into a spin and landing on his feet. Naruto held up a card with a 9 on it, "good form, perfect stunt, but your tail hit first." Yakko just snapped his fingers. Wakko went for a cannon ball, and as soon as her landed the earth cracked and shook for a few seconds. After steadying himself, Naruto held up a 6. Wakko stared at him in confusion, Naruto shrugged, "No form, all power." Wakko smacked his head before they looked up at Dot as she fell.
She started spinning, coming to a stop dressed in an aviator's outfit. She pulled to the side and when into a spin, making a full circle before nose-diving towards the ground. At the last second, she pulled back and landed on her feet with open arms. Naruto, Rita, and Runt all clapped and held up straight 10's. Dot bowed to them before sticking her tongue out at her brothers, who just shrugged. Naruto laughed before asking, "what were you guys doing up there?" they looked at him before Yakko smacked his head, "ooohhhh right! You just moved here," he jammed a thumb at the tower, "that's our home man." Naruto tilted his head, causing Dot to sigh out 'cute', before shrugging. "To each his own. Hey, do you guys know any apartments that are open?" the Warner's all put on their thinking faces (Yakko's being a hyena mask, Wakko's being a giant light bulb on his head, and Dot standing on her head). Yakko snapped his fingers, "oh1 I think Scratchy said something about and apartment at our last session!"
Naruto raised and eyebrow, "Scratchy?" he wasn't going to question what session he was talking about, his gut said he'd find out soon enough. Yakko nodded, "yep, good old Scratch n' Sniff. He's our psycho-ologist." Naruto questioned, "You mean psychiatrist?" the Warner's all shook their heads. Wakko said, "NOPE! He calls us psychos, cause we're crazy" he proved this point, he pulled a bathtub out of hammer-space and bit a chunk out of it. Naruto just shrugged, 'who am I to call someone out on being crazy,' smiling he said, "Alright! Lead the way to the psycho-ologist!" they saluted and started marching.
20 Minutes later; Psychiatrists Office
Scratch n' Sniff was a rather old man, having become the studios psychiatrist years ago when he was younger. Sadly, his days had become increasingly frantic because of the warner's constant visits. They had quite literally forced him to pull every single hair out of his head. Because of this, if you looked at him, you could see a headful of wrinkles, think glasses that obstructed his eyes from everyone else, and a white lab coat. Today, he was waiting for his assistant to come back from lunch with his papers. He sighed and looked at the clock, "Mein gott. Vhen vill zat voman be back, she has only tventy minutes left," he said in his thicker than average German accent.
Before he could contemplate more, his door flew open and the Warners bounded in on pogo sticks. "SCRATCHY! WE'RE BACK," they yelled in unison. Scratch n' Sniff dove under his desk while he screamed. Popping his head up he screamed, "DON"T DO ZAT!" he took a deep breath before asking, "Now, vhy are you here? You session is not scheduled until tomorrow." Yakko bounced up to the doctor, "uhhhh… you see Scratchy, we got a new friend who needs help finding a place to stay," he then poked the doctor's big nose, "and yooou, were talking about an open apartment last time we saw you.
The doctor rubbed the bridge of his nose, "ja, ja. There is an apartment available near mine. So vere is zis friend?" Dot spoke up here, "oh. He's setting up Rita and Runt in a restaurant across the way so they can get something besides garbage to eat." She sighed and went into a day dream," he's so nice, and good with others." Raising an eyebrow at her behavior he looked to Yakko, who shrugged and said, "Apparently he gets her motor running." They heard a loud VRRROOOOM outside, followed by a person yelling, "THANKS FOR THE FIX FOX BRO!" Yakko deadpanned and said, "And apparently that guy's too." He blew a kiss and said, "goodnight everybody."
The doctor just sighed, looking up when he saw an antromorphic fox walk in a few moments later. He looked the fox boy over and concluded one thing after staring into his eyes, 'mein gott…. IT"S ANOTHER ONE.' Still mentally crying about bad luck and four Warners, he greeted Naruto. "Velcome, you must be zhe Warner's new…friend," he said with a little hesitance. Giving a giant smile, Naruto grabbed the doctor's hand and shook it, accidentally shaking the doc's whole body as well. "Great to meet ya! Takes a very patient man to deal with crazy people, I'd know being crazy myself."
Shaking out his strained hand, Scratch n' Sniff sighed, "ja, I guessed as much." Looking at the blond haired fox, he said, "now. I understand you are searching for a home." Naruto nodded and said, "Yes I am, I just moved onto the lot and need a place to sleep." The doctor nodded and said, "very vell zen, let me give you directions to ze building." As Scratchy and Naruto talked, the Warner's were doing their own things. Yakko had his paddle ball out, quietly thinking to himself.
'Alright, pros and cons of letting my little sis date Naruto. Pro, a good guy for her, Con, the constant smooching.' Here he shuddered, 'pro two, a new person to join in on our adventures, con, increased cost.' His thoughts toured down that way for a while, so let's try another Warner. Wakko was….I don't know what it is he's doing, but it involves a corncob, a tuba, and his mallet. (0_0) MOVING ON! Dot was watching Naruto with a love sick smile, before a thought came to mind, 'someone's missing… wonder who?' she shook her head and went back to staring at Naruto.
After getting the directions to the apartment building, Naruto thanked Scratch n' sniff. "No, no. it vas mein pleasure to help." Naruto just smiled and started towards the door at a fast walk, "Thanks again Scratchy! I'll let you know if- OOFF!" before he could get out the door, he ran into someone who let out a squeak before they both fell down. As they lay there dazed, Naruto's head on top of something big, soft, and warm, he distinctly heard Yakko and Wakko yell, "HELLLLOOOOO NURSE!"
