"Bored, bored, booooored!"
Yakko sighs, putting his head in his hand. "Yes Issac, we heard you the first time."
In the Warner living room, the Warners and Issac were trying to enjoy a game of chess. It was Wakko vs Issac. So far, Issac was bored stiff and Wakko had eaten half the game.
Wakko tosses another piece of the chess into his mouth, swallowing it whole. Issac continues to do what he had been doing for the last few turns…hitting his head against the table.
"Uggggh." Issac groans, slamming his head down once again. "Yakko, you said this would be fun!"
"I think it's tasty." Wakko smiles, and peers at Issac's side of the board. He points at the pieces. "Are you gonna finish those?"
Issac waves a dismissive hand. "You can take them."
Wakko licks his lips and goes to grab the pieces, but Dot smacks his hand.
"Maybe we'll just switch up the game." Dot says, tossing the board game to the side. "So what do we do next?"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Issac exclaims, sitting up and raising his hand. "I know! I know!"
"Ahhh," Yakko pretends to scan the room and then sets his eyes on Issac. "How about Issac?"
Issac lowers his hand and smiles real big. "Can we go outside?"
"No." The Warners chorus.
Issac groans and slams his head down again.
"Issac, I know you're bored." Yakko says. "But like I told you, there's plenty to do inside."
"Malarkey!" Issac shouts, banging a fist against the table. "All we've done is play board games!"
"Okay, maybe starting the day with board games wasn't my best idea." Yakko scratches his cheek. "We can do something else."
Issac raises his head. "Like…?"
"How about a nice game of hide and seek?" Yakko suggests.
Issac perks up, clapping his hands. "Oh! I want to seek! I want to seek!"
"Great!" Yakko stands up from sitting on the couch. "You seek, everyone else will hide."
Issac covers his eyes and turns around, counting down from ten. The remaining toons spread out. Wakko dives under the couch. Dot runs for the kitchen. Yakko runs up to the roller coaster to hide.
"Five, four, three-." Issac stops and peeks out of his hands. He can see no one in sight. He straightens up and deviously smiles. He slowly tip toes for the water tower door.
"Hehe." Issac chuckles to himself. "While they're hiding, they won't notice me taking a quick joy ride around the lot."
Issac makes it to the door and reaches for the giant wheel. He twists it around slowly.
CREAK!
Issac gasps when the door opens with a horrible noise and he quickly stops the door, shushing it. He peeks back into the tower. No one has moved out of their hiding places. Issac sighs, relieved. He glares at the door.
"Lame-brain door!" Issac whispers angrily. He slips through the opening and lands on the water tower catwalk.
"What a view!" Issac compliments, looking over the studio lot. He could see all the movie stages, the big offices, and most important of all the lone security guard down below welcoming people into the studio. Issac smiles brightly.
With a holler, Issac marches forward…and steps right off the catwalk with a cry. Zooming downwards at what might be the speed of light, Issac screams and frantically tries swimming back up towards the catwalk to no avail. When that fails, he frantically empties his pockets.
"I gotta have something on me!" Issac yells.
He pulls out cheese blocks.
"Nope!"
He pulls out milk cartons.
"Nu uh!"
He pulls out a bowl of ice cream-
"Why do I have so much dairy?" Issac yells in frustration before reaching inside his jacket and pulls out an umbrella. He snaps it open.
The umbrella forces him to slow down and he's simply gliding down now. Issac sighs. He smiles.
"That was a close one!" Issac laughs.
Suddenly, the umbrella folds up with a snap. Issac freezes. He slowly looks up at the undone umbrella before looking towards the readers with an unamused expression.
"I take back what I said." Issac says bluntly.
With a scream, he drops down at alarming speeds until smacking onto ground below. Groaning, Issac dizzily stands back up.
"Well…could be worse." Issac slurs.
His ear twitches to the sound of falling and he looks up.
CLONK!
His umbrella smacks him right in the face. Issac spins around with a goofy smile and his eyes crossed. He falls flat on his face once more.
"...ouch." Issac squeaks.
Standing up abruptly, Issac scowls and grabs the umbrella and starts shaking it around, trying to choke the umbrella.
"How do you like it, huh? Ya jerk?" Issac yells, throwing down the umbrella and giving it a good kick. He takes a deep breath in and looks around. "Now, what was I doing?"
Right away, Issac spots a golf cart. He perks up instantly. "My joyride!"
Issac zips over to the car and hops inside. He claps his hands together and hugs the cart.
"Oh, boy! You and me baby, we're about to go places no toon has ever seen!" Issac laughs. He goes to turn on the engine…to find the keys missing.
"Oh, shoot! I'm short of a key!" Issac scratches his head and looks around. That's when he spots Ralph the security guard. Issac grins seeing the keys tied to his belt. "Low and behold, we have found a way!"
Issac jumps out the cart and runs over. Meanwhile in the water tower, the Warners were getting a wee bit antsy.
"Cramped, cramped, craaaammpped! Need space!" Dot shrieks, She slams open the cabinet door of the kitchen and gulps the fresh air outside. "I can't take this any longer!"
"Shhh!" Wakko hushes from under the couch. "Dot, you're gonna get us caught!"
Yakko peeks from his spot on one of the roller coaster carts. From this view, he couldn't spot Issac anywhere.
"Odd." Yakko says. "We've lost our seeker."
Wakko peeks his head out from under the couch. "Hey, was that door always open?"
The Warners rush over to the open tower door and stare.
"Uh oh." They chorus.
Yakko walks over to the door, swinging it open. "Issac might just be enjoying the fresh air…"
"WHOOOHOOOO!" Issac screams at the top of his lungs, driving off at top speeds throughout the lot with Ralph the guard on his tail.
Yakko slowly drags a hand down his face. "Or I could be wrong."
"ISSAC!" The Warners chorus and rush down the ladder.
With Issac, he was looking back at the guard and blew a raspberry at him. He laughs and grips the wheel of the golf cart.
"Bananas!" Issac laughs. "What a gasser! I could do this all day!"
A girlish shriek attracts his attention and he glances forward, some man in a blue blazer was frozen in his path. Issac shrieks and swerves the cart off the road and drivers deeper into the lot. Issac scowls and raises a fist at the man.
"I'm driving here! I'm driving here!" Issac shouts. He faces forward and his eyes bug out. A group of tourists were in front of him. The tour guide screams in horror while the tourists take out their cameras and begin taking pictures of the oncoming golf cart. Issac swerves the cart once again and scowls at the tourists.
"I'm getting really tired of this gag!" Issac rants and looks forward.
"ISSAC!" Yakko yells. He and his siblings were in the cart's path.
Issac's screams, sounding like a girl fresh out of a horror movie, he slams down his foot on the breaks. The cart screeches to a horrific stop, just an inch from Yakko. The Warners pile on into the cart. Each Warner glares at Issac, as the blue colored toon breaks out into a nervous smile.
"Cousins!" Issac titters, breaking into a sweat. "Um…I found you?"
"We found you!" Yakko scowls, poking the toon in the chest. "Just what do you think you're doing?"
"Eheh," Issac swallows. "Having a joy ride?"
"Warners!"
The quartet looks back and gasps, seeing Ralph the guard rushing towards them. The Warners glare at Issac once more, who shrugs with an unconfident grin. The Warners plop into their seats and buckle in.
"We'll argue later." Yakko says. "Drive!"
Issac slams his foot onto the pedal and the cart shoots off once again. The Warners brace for their very lives as Issac shoots down the lot and starts driving around like a maniac.
"You are in so much trouble!" Yakko screams, clutching to the seat of the cart. He dares to look at his cousin as he was staring down the road with an excited grin.
Issac giggles. "I know! But right now I have a need for speed!"
The golf cart accelerates as Issac drives the cart up the walls of the buildings and curves it into the air. Every Warner screamed as they began to dive down, Issac barely managed to land the cart back onto the road. Swerving the cart around every person that came their way.
"Hehe! Isn't this fun or what?" Issac yells at his cousin.
Yakko slouches in his seat. "Once I get my stomach back, I'll tell you…"
"I think we lost the old blimp." Issac said looking back.
Yakko looks forward and spots a closed down building. He has Issac look forward and points towards the building. "Drive there!"
"Why?" Issac asks, confused.
"Just do it!" Yakko says.
Issac shrugs and swerves the cart towards the building, entering the alleyway and hauls the cart to an immediate stop. All the Warners pile out of the cart. Before Issac can even step one foot out of the cart, Yakko grabs him by the arm and pulls him up to his face.
"What part of don't leave the tower do you not understand?" Yakko demands.
Issac brushes off Yakko. He huffs, turning away. "It's not my fault your tower is boring."
"Issac." Yakko says firmly, causing Issac to look back. "You do realize that a lot of people saw you right?"
Issac was silent. "Yeah…?"
"Even Ralph saw you." Wakko points out, with Dot nodding.
"It's only a matter of time before someone tells Plotz." Yakko says, crossing his arms.
"So what?" Issac dismisses. "We can just hide somewhere until the heat dies down. What's the worst that a cranky CEO could do?"
Yakko turns Issac around and grabs him by the shoulders. "Issac, that's exactly what I don't wanna find out! What if he puts you back into that safe?"
"The safe?" Issac squeaks. "I don't wanna go back to that thing!"
This time it's Issac who grabs Yakko by the shoulders, shaking him. "It's lonely! Very lonely! Do you have any idea what kind of torment it is to have nobody else around? Huh? Do ya?"
Yakko grabs him by the arms. "I can imagine." He sighs. "Why do you think I wanted you hidden? It was for your own protection."
"I knew that…" Issac says meekly. Whatever energy had possessed the toon had begun to fade. The worry within his doe eyes meet Yakko's gaze. "You won't let them take me back, will ya cousin?"
"Of course not." Yakko says, placing a hand on the toon's shoulder. "Me and the sibs will do what we can do to keep you from that horrible place."
Issac smiles. Then he looks at the building they had parked next to. "So mind telling me why I had to drive us here?"
"Empty soundstage." Yakko says casually and gestures to them to follow him towards an alley doorway. "We can hide here until the heat dies down outside."
Issac follows the Warners towards the door, letting the siblings walk ahead of him. As he did he looked around the alley. The walls were cracked with old paint and abandoned movie posters. A couple trash cans here and there. He glances behind him and notices a shadow.
"Huh?" Issac turns around entirely and notices a small figure peeking into the alleyway. He squints at the figure.
"Issac!" Yakko calls out, seeing the toon standing in the middle of the alleyway. "Are you coming?"
"What?" Issac looks at Yakko before turning his head back. The figure was gone. Issac tilts his head in astonishment and then turns back around, not taking his eye off the place where he spotted the figure. "I'm coming, I'm coming."
Issac runs into the building and Yakko closes the door after him.
