CHAPTER 4: SOME NEWS

As the sun brightened up the water tower that next morning we find the Warners sleeping the morning away. Each and every one of them was snoring and as soon as the light came to their eyes they groaned and then turned pulling the blankets of their beds over their heads. Yep, they were not morning people. They kept on sleeping for another thirty minutes until Yakko finally decided to get out of bed. In a groggy state he began climbing down the ladder of the bunk beds. Maybe it was because he was half asleep or something like that, but he missed the next step.

"Woah!"

Yakko got a very rude awakening as he fell onto his back with a loud thud. Dot sat upright in bed with hair curlers in her fur as she looked to Yakko with a glare. "Will you keep it down! I'm trying to get my cutie sleep!"

She then ignored Yakko's small glare at her as he sat up rubbing the back of his head. She rolled her eyes and then threw the covers over her head going back to sleep. Yakko stood up turning his gaze over to Wakko. He smirked seeing his brother was attempting to eat his pillow in his sleep, but only succeeded in drooling all over it. Yakko could only think of how many pillows were going to end up in the laundry if he kept at this. Deciding it was a bit early to begin breakfast, also by the looks of it neither of his siblings were ready to get up, he heads over to the section of the water tower that was their living room. Jumping onto the couch Yakko grabs the tv remote flipping the tv on. Almost mind numbingly he flips through numerous channels with nothing to watch.

"I'm tired of this run on gag." Yakko commented to the readers. "For once can't I find a show to watch?"

Yakko sighs and then flips the channel once more. Once he did it had a talk show going on before the news cut in with the breaking news. Yakko raised an eyebrow. It's been awhile since they've done this. He could've sworn last time the news brought up breaking news it had been in the middle of Wakko's three hour long Don Knotts marathon. Such bad timing...they had just gotten to the funny part and Wakko nearly mallet their only tv when they cut it off at the punch line.

"-police have disclaimed any further knowledge on the breakout, but we are still left wondering on what really happened at the prison."

Yakko glanced up hearing this. He was the slightest bit curious on what they were talking about. The tv then viewed onto the prison scene. Yakko saw as the reporter was outside the prison's tall fenced gates. All around the area there were police cars, ambulances, and other new casts. The reporter was now questioning a guard.

"Sir can you tell me what happened here?" She asked moving the microphone to him. "It's been rumored some very mentally ill criminals have escaped. Is this true?"

The guard kept up his serious face. "As much as I would like to deny it it's indeed true."

"Can you tell us more about the criminals in question?"

"I'm sorry there ma'am, but I don't know myself much. All I really know is these criminals are no joke. They are dangerous, a harm to themselves and the public. The sooner they're captured the better."

"Thank you for your time." She said before turning to the camera. "Without further details many of us are blind on just who these criminals are, but police are on the search..."

They went on talking about more details on the case. Something about what number to call if you spot suspicious activity and other things, but Yakko had lost interest. That and Wakko had waken up. He sleepily came over to where Yakko was watching the tv. Wakko looked to the screen with sleepy eyes.

He yawned. "What are you watching?"

Yakko shrugged flipping the tv off. "Eh just some news. Nothing special."

He stood from the couch facing Wakko. "Ready for breakfast? I'm making waffles."

Wakko perked up. "Waffles!"

With that one word the middle child rushed off to the kitchen eager for food. As he did that he went past Dot. Not prepared for the speeding Warner she was comically spun around into a blur before quickly falling on her rear with a dazed expression. She shook the stars that were swirling around her head and huffed crossing her arms.

"Brothers…" She said rolling her eyes.

Yakko walked over smirking at Dot. "Unless you're going to sit around then come join your brothers for breakfast."

Dot shrugged getting to her feet. "Might as well."

They both went into their kitchen finding Wakko waiting for his food. Yakko smiled seeing how Wakko's tail was wagging expectedly as he looked around for the upcoming plate of waffles. Yakko laughed.

"Relax brother sibling." He said going over to the cabinets of the kitchen. "I still have to make the food."

Wakko pouted slumping into his seat. "Oh…" He looked at Yakko hopefully. "I won't have to wait long, will I?"

Dot rolled her eyes. "Wakko it's only going to take a few minutes. It's not like you'll starve."

"But I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry." Both Yakko and Dot said in synch.

Wakko pouted getting laughs from both siblings. Even Wakko cracked a smile chuckling along. Yakko then went to cooking up the food. Once the smell of vanilla waffles filled the air Wakko was practically drooling. Dot scrunched up her nose in distaste as Wakko actually began to drool with his tongue hanging out.

"Diiiiiiiiisgusting!" She gagged.

Dot was soon saved from the sight of her brother's drool when Yakko served the waffles. All of them quickly ate their breakfast with Wakko taking in fifths by the time both Yakko and Dot had finished. Yakko took the dishes, minus the one Wakko had for he ate it, over to the sink.

"So what are we doing today?" Dot asked standing from her seat.

"Ahhhh." Yakko said putting a hand to his chin in thought. "I was thinking paying a visit to the new animators." He gave his siblings a knowing look. "Give them the ol' Warner greeting to the studio. We wouldn't want to disappoint them now would we?"

Both Wakko and Dot glanced at each other with knowing smiles. "Of course not!"

With their plan in mind all three Warners rushed out the kitchen and out the door ready for a whole day of mischief ahead of them. If only they knew what their day had in store for them.

Nothing like making some special friends to start the day huh?

"I'll say!"

What the-Yakko?!

"Yep! Don't wear out the name!"

What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the story!

(Makes sad eyes) "What? You don't want me around?"

I never said-oh never mind. Just let me close up the story already.

"I'll help!"

(Sighs) Fine. You know what to ask the readers.

"Hello Reader Nurses! Make sure to drop on down and review! The Queen wishes for reviews!" (Turns to author, wriggling eyebrows) "Now any chance the animaniacs king position is available?"

Don't count on it.

(Shrugs) "Worth a shot."

Alright everyone the Queen has left the building!

"Goodnight Everybody!"
