Before we start let me just tell you. I don't know squat about money, especially not dollars. So if you read this and think 'Wow there, (Insert thing) is not that expensive/cheap!' then that's why. Please bear with me and sorry in advance.
So for this chapter I had to google what bedding was in English, because blanket didn't seem to be the right word and... Americans use a top sheet instead of a duvet cover? What the heck are comforters? I live in Europe, I never heard these words, and literally all I've seen being used are duvets and duvet covers.
The more you know, I guess
(Also, I finally settled for a place for them to live that's not just 'Location that's a bus-drive away', see if you can catch it 😉)
Kassie woke up early that morning. There was a lot that needed to be done to properly make this a home for the Warners. Buying beds and other furniture, they'd need more food and probably some toys or other forms of entertainment for the kids. Oh and all the other necessities! How big was their budget again?
"Our budget is big enough, dear." Kassie jumped, tail puffing out. Andy chuckled from the kitchen seat. "Sorry Kass, but you were mumbling to yourself again."
Kassie groaned. "Again?" She sat down at the table. "Are you sure, Andy? I mean, you're the only one working right now. I don't want to keep taking the money that you earn."
"Kassandra." There was the dreaded full name again. "Do I seem upset to you?" Kassie shook her head. "Darling, I know it hasn't been easy for you to get a job. It might even get harder now, with three extra kiddos to take care of."
"But that's exactly wh-"
"No, Kass." Andy cut her off. "It's fine. Besides, you can look at this as me repaying you." He gently nuzzled his girlfriend. "You worked yourself to the bone when I just got my career started."
Finally, after what seemed like forever, Kassie nodded. "Okay… Just until I'm able to hold down a job."
Andy wouldn't ask anything more. With one more kiss on her cheek, he got up to make her some breakfast. "So… Your kittens, huh?" Kassie blushed furiously underneath her fur. "Funny. They seemed more like puppies to me."
"Oh, don't try and act so casual." Kassie snorted. "I'm not the one who stayed up all night to read the book and their documents. I saw those bags."
"Those documents were infuriatingly bias and unnecessarily rude towards the kids…" Andy growled.
Back upstairs Yakko was slowly waking up from all the unfamiliar noises. Since when could they hear birds chirping in the tower? Or cars driving by? Or the sound of pe- This wasn't the water tower!
He sprang up in a sitting position, rousing his younger siblings who also woke up groggily. Neither of them spoke a word, but it was pretty clear from the expressions on their faces when they looked around that they were thinking the same thing. The sounds, the light… They were not in the water tower!
All together, they jumped out of the beds and sprinted for the door, ripping it open in a frenzy. To their surprise it wasn't locked. They ran around, trying to find an exit only to trip and take a tumble down the stairs.
As they lay in a pile at the bottom of the stairs, they could hear movements. Oh no, they were caught!
A gasp, followed by hasty footsteps. Here comes the net… "Are you three alright?" Wait, wha-? "Is anyone injured?"
The Warners minds cleared a little. Enough to recognize the voice speaking to them. "Kassie?" Yakko groaned.
It all clicked then. The knocking on the tower's exit, the blinding light, the stranger coming in and talking to them and overall treating them kindly, Plotz yelling, the bus trip… The events of yesterday flooded back into his memory. Right…they were at Kassie's house.
"Urgghh… The real world hurts." Yakko groaned instead.
A chuckle came from Andy. "Yeah, that's usually what happens if you don't use your toon-powers to catch yourself, kiddo."
As Kassie lifted Wakko and Dot off Yakko's back, he got a chance to look at them. Both of them still looked a little frantic, but they seemed to be back to normal otherwise. Or well, whatever normal was for them, that is.
A paw landed on his cheek as Kassie inspected Yakko, like she had his sibs, for any injuries. Seemingly satisfied, she let go and stood up, still holding Wakko and Dot.
"What happened just now?" she asked. No anger, no judgment, just concern.
Yakko chuckled sheepishly. "Oh, that? Well, funny story actually. We kinda just woke up and we… well… Uuhhhhhhh…"
"We didn't know where we were." Wakko filled in the blank.
"Right, that."
Kassie nodded her head, trying to understand. "So you panicked?"
"A little." Dot confessed. "Yakko always tells us to run and escape when we can. So we did."
Neither adult was confused by that logic. When the chance of freedom presented itself, you take the chance no matter how small it might be. This probably wasn't the first time this happened, going by Dot's words, but hopefully it would be the last. They would make sure this would be the last.
"Well! I'm just gonna get you three some breakfast." Andy said, trying to get their minds on something else. "You lot have a busy day ahead of you after all."
With a groan, Kassie put Wakko and Dot down so they could run to the kitchen with Yakko. "Don't remind me, hon."
Wakko tilted his head in confusion as Andy put their breakfast on the table. "Why? What are we gonna do today?" he asked, before swallowing his bacon, scrambled eggs and toast in one bite.
After refilling Wakko's plate, Andy gave them the heads up of today's plans. "First of all, you're gonna need your own bed, because as fun as it is to sleep on the couch, you can't really keep using my mattress." He winked playfully at the kids. "Then Kassie is probably take you to some other stores for other necessary furniture and the like. Either way, you'll be at the mall for a while."
"You're not coming?" Dot asked.
Andy shook his head. "As much as I want to, I have to work. Songs don't write themselves unfortunately." He turned away from the now off stove to face the children. "Though before you go there are a few things you should probably know."
Swallowing the last bits of food, the Warner siblings became alert, wondering what this was about.
"So, I'm guessing that back at the studio you barely got hurt?" The trio confirmed his suspicion. "The reason for that is because studios like that are full of toon-energy. It affects everything in the studio lot, including humans. It's the reason they don't get injured from things that would usually cause serious harm." he explained. "But it seems that thanks to that, you three haven't had much practice with your toon-powers either."
Yakko quickly raised his hand as if he were in class. "Yeah, hi. So, quick question, but… What are toon-powers exactly?"
"It's exactly as it sounds. Toon-powers are the abilities - or powers - that a toon has." Andy answered. "The most common for example is your hammerspace."
He demonstrated by pulling a bouquet of flowers from behind his back. They wittered immediately, but the effect was still there.
"We can do that!" Wakko exclaimed eagerly.
"Yeah!" Yakko joined in. "Guess we just didn't know it had a name."
"I know I've pulled enough mallets out of my hammerspace." Dot gloated proudly.
They each reached behind them and rummaged through their 'hammerspace' as they now knew it was called. When they pulled back they proudly showed… a runny pie, a dead flower and a- erm… wooden stick?
Yakko stared at the pie in disbelief. "Hey! What gives?" he exclaimed. "This was supposed to be a full pie, not-" He cringed away as he let the pie drip down on the table. "That."
"You think yours is bad? Look at my flower!" Dot practically shoved the dead flower in her brother's face. "I wanted a full bouquet!"
"My mallet is gone!" Wakko cried, looking in horror at his broken stick.
That happened to be the moment Kassie walked into the kitchen. "What about a mallet?" she asked while tying her hair in a ponytail.
Wakko showed her the broken stick. "My mallet is gone!" he repeated.
Blinking in confusion, Kassie looked at Andy for an explanation. "I tried explaining the basics of toon-powers and they tried to use their hammerspace."
"Ah." The cat knelt down, petting the distressed Wakko's head. "I'm sorry, sweetie. Your mallets were confiscated when we left. Plotz gave me some crap about it being studio property."
"So I can only pull out broken sticks now?" Wakko's ears drooped.
"Of course not!" Andy called out. "From what I hear, it's just your old mallets that are out of commission."
"And anvils…" Kassie muttered.
"Just your mallets and anvils that are out of commission." he corrected himself. "Your toon-powers are just a little underdeveloped. You've been relying too much on the studio's toon-energy. You just need more practice." Andy reassured the three Warners. "And I think I know just the person who can teach you."
The children jumped and cheered at the idea. "But!" And deflated immediately at Kassie's 'but'. "That is gonna have to wait a little while. First things first, going to the mall so we can get you three settled properly."
The car parked in front of a quaint little mall. The North-Hollywood Toon Mall, though, used toon-physics to be bigger on the inside than it appeared. It was a mall specifically created for a toon's every day needs. In other words, things that could most likely destroy a regular human-build mall…
Just one more check before she left the car wouldn't hurt, Kassie decided as she ripped open her purse. Wallet was still there, so were her keys. She'd packed plenty of snacks for Wakko's big appetite as well as her old studio's prop-sack, which she honestly forgot she still had and wanted to burn the moment she lay eyes on it. After mentally adding 'Buy a new prop-sack' to her list, she was ready to go.
Her kids had apparently already decided they were ready and left the car while Kassie checked her purse.
Biting back a curse, the cat slammed the car door shut and ran after her kids. Luckily they'd stopped right in front of the doors. Kassie let out a sigh of relief as she caught up. "Yakko, Wakko, Dot, I know you're excited and all, but please try to stay close." she insisted. "The mall is bigger than it looks and busy at this time of day too. I don't want you getting lost in there. But if you do get lost-"
The siblings stopped listening as they entered the mall. It really was much bigger on the inside, it had escalators and everything! Big ones! There were food courts, mallet stores, even shops that sold anvils! Think of all the pranks they could pull!
What to do first? Disguise as a pastry chef and sneak some free food? Nah, they'd done that before. Oh! How about-
"Are you listening to me?" Their heads snapped to who was talking. "Kids?" It was Kassie.
Yakko chuckled sheepishly. "Right… Not our world."
Kassie put a paw on the older brother's shoulder. "It'll get easier to see over time, hon."
Yakko, Wakko and Dot looked at each other with uncertainty. It didn't feel like it was getting better. Yakko had been fully prepared to rope his siblings into a plan to get some free food. Meanwhile Wakko and Dot had been ready to whack the mean boss with their mallets, which they just remembered not having access to.
"Hey, none of that now. You are getting better." Kassie smiled reassuringly. "You snapped out of it immediately didn't you? And you realized immediately that something wasn't right. That's progress." With one last affectionate head ruffle, she got up from her kneeling position. "Now come on. Bunks and Beds is just up ahead."
Okay. Progress so far. They managed to find mattresses that each found the most comfortable. They also found pillows that each found the most comfortable. So far so good.
Now the hard part that no one seemed to agree on. The bed itself! When the Warners saw the various kinds of beds they were torn. On one hand, Yakko liked keeping his siblings close, so the king size bed seemed great, but he'd also like to have a little space just for himself. Wakko had a similar problem in that he loved the cuddle-piles with his big brother and baby sister, but the bunk bed was something he wouldn't mind trying either. And Dot, as much as she enjoyed cuddling up to her older brothers, wanted her own sleeping space and was leaning more towards the single beds, or the bunk bed.
In short, they had a problem.
"Hello there, can I help you with anything?" As on cue, an employee came to their rescue. The squirrel toon was holding a notebook to write down the information. It may seem strange to some, but it was just how this store worked.
"Well, we got the mattresses and pillows all figured out, but we're stuck on the bed itself." Kassie shook her head as she chuckled. "And we haven't even looked at any type of bedding yet."
The employee nodded as she listened. "What seems to be the problem?"
"The kids want to sleep close together in a cuddle-pile, but also in separate beds." Kassie gave the quick summary.
She let out an 'oomph' when she was suddenly tackled from all around by the kids. They stared at her with big, pleading eyes. "Can we please get the single beds?" Dot pleaded, batting her eyes cutely. "We can shove them together if we want to sleep close."
Yakko shook his head at that. "Please can't we get the king sized? It's big and spacey enough so we won't always bother each other. And it'll take up less space then three constantly moving beds."
"I don't know anymore." Wakko admitted. "Can't we get both somehow?"
Right as Kassie was about to tell him no, the employee chipped in. "Yes, that's possible."
"Huh?" Neither the siblings or caretaker were expecting that answer.
"Though, it's not exactly possible for single beds." She clarified, leading them through the store to another section. "These are beds made with toon-energy." She showed them a king sized bed which had a sort of hand-held remote next to it. The employee grabbed the remote, punching in a security code and showed a little demonstration. "Now, there are two buttons. One will set the bed to king size and the second-" She pressed the other button which made the left side of the bed lift up in a way that created a bunk bed. "-will do that." the employee finished.
The four customers were in awe, but where the Warners snapped out of it quickly to beg their caretaker to please buy that one, Kassie was a little slower.
"Can we? Can we? Can we, pleeeeaaaase?" the siblings begged and pleaded. "Pretty please with sugar on top?"
Kassie cleared her throat. "W-well it depends on how much it is, I guess."
"It's 1050 dollars." Kassie nearly choked. That much?! And they hadn't even taken into account the mattresses, bedding and pillows!
She sighed. "Alright. We'll take it."
While the kids cheered and danced, the employee took all the other information and handed her notes to a colleague who would prepare the bed in the back. Since everything in the mall worked on toon-logic, the bed was assembled in a matter of minutes and brought to the front for Kassie to pay.
Which is how Kassie and the kids left with a nearly 4000 dollar complete bed in Kassie's prop-sack. The only thing that saved it from being more expensive was a discount on the mattresses.
Here's hoping that would be the most expensive they were gonna get.
After going around the mall buying some more necessities Kassie was about ready to go home. They'd gotten a few more things, like an extra nightstand, a lamp Dot really liked, some new curtains and of course the ever important toothbrushes. Kassie also threw in some soft brushes for their fur and a few new towels just in case.
Yakko, Wakko and Dot were just following behind Kassie trying to behaving, but it was hard with the background music being so playful. It screamed 'Prank time'. The music made Yakko pause in his steps. Wait…did the real world have background music? He never heard it before now.
"Yakko?" His sibs must've noticed him stop walking.
He let his ear swivel around. "You guys hear that music too, right?" Getting a confirming nod from both of them, Yakko started looking around.
"What are you doing?" Dot questioned. "It's just background music. We've always had that."
"Yeah, in our world." Yakko stated. "But this isn't our world and I've never heard it before now."
That made the younger brother and sister pause for a second. Now that he mentioned it…
Wakko spotted a crowd up ahead. "Hey, what's that?"
"You mean besides 'a crowd'?" Yakko joked. He started walking closer to it. "Come on, sibs. Let's go find out."
The closer they walked, the clearer and louder the music became. Seems like Wakko found the source of it then. They pushed through the small crowd, finding some random guy playing the piano right there in the mall. So that's what that was.
"Whoa… Do you think all music comes from there?" Wakko asked.
Yakko shrugged. "I don't know, Wakko. Didn't our background music sound uuuhhhh… different at times?"
The younger boy shook his head. "No, I mean do you think it came from the real world? That we just never noticed it."
"Huh… That's an interesting question…" Yakko said. "And I believe that for our answer we'd better ask someone more versed in real world physics. Hey Kass-" He cut himself off when he noticed a certain cat was nowhere around. "Oh-oh."
The others noticed too and started looking around for a familiar face in the crowds of people.
"Relax, sibs." Yakko tried to reassure them. "We've always found who we were looking for before, right? Even if they didn't want us to."
Dot nodded slightly, but not fully convinced. "Yeah. Before." she emphasized. "But who says that real world physics work the same? We could be stuck here forever trying to find who we're looking for!"
Yakko growled softly as he shook his head. Right, he had just been about to ask about real world physics. How could he forget already?
There was a sudden dinging noise from all around the mall. "Attention shoppers." A voice reverberated through the mall after the ding. "Could Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner, please make their way to the help-desk. You mo-" the voice cut off all of a sudden before it came back. "Excuse me. Kassie is looking for you."
"Sure, but where is the help-desk, Mr. Voice-man?" Wakko called out to the ceiling. They didn't receive an answer.
Luckily they were overheard by a mall security guard who passed by. After confirming with the security desk that the descriptions matched, he approached them. "Hey there, kids. Are you Yakko, Wakko and Dot?"
When the siblings turned to find a chubby man in a security uniform, their eyes widened. Oh no. Did they do something wrong again? They just got free! Not this time!
They turned on their heels, Yakko pulling his younger siblings by the hand to keep them close. The startled security guard gave chase, but thanks to some quick footwork and strange movements, he quickly lost sight of them. He informed the desk and gave their last known location before he continued the search.
Only after the Warners were sure the guard had left did they come out of hiding. They'd decided to hide in the piano, which is where they would stay for the time being. Though, curiosity was a strong thing and Yakko was definitely curious about the piano. Making sure it was safe first, he jumped out of his hiding spot and onto the piano seat.
It wasn't long before piano notes rang through the mall.
It was taking too long for Kassie's liking. Abandoning the waiting-game, she retraced her steps. She remembered them being right behind her after they'd bought the toothbrushes, then when she reached 'Whack-a-Mallet' and turned to ask if they wanted to go in they were gone. So they'd gotten lost between those locations.
As Kassie got closer to the place where she lost the kids, her ears picked up the sound of the mall-piano being played. Usually this was just background noise to her, but something stuck out to her this time. It wasn't the usual 'I can play a decent tune' kind of play. It was more like a child banging on the keys.
Now this in itself wasn't unusual either, kids bang and play on that thing all the time. But right now, to someone who'd just lost her kittens, it was them. Kassie sprinted towards the piano, begging and hoping it was her kids.
The universe was on her side today. "Yakko! Wakko! Dot!" she called out as she rushed to the piano.
The trio, who'd been jumping on and banging notes on the piano, abruptly stopped and turned around. They jumped off the piano and ran to Kassie, tackling her in a hug.
Kassie gave a relieved purr when she had her kittens in her arms. It could've just been her imagination, but she could've sworn they purred back. It was probably just hopeful thinking. "I'm guessing neither of you heard what I told you to do if you got lost?" She just got straight to the point.
"Uuuuhh…. That depends." Yakko said sheepishly. "What did you say?"
Of course. "I told you to stay on the first floor and pointed out the help-desk where we'd meet up if we couldn't find each other." the cat repeated her earlier instructions.
"Ooohh! That! Yeah, yeah, we totally heard that." The older boy laughed nervously. "We just…uuuhhhhh…"
Dot had to jump in to help her big brother. "Uhh… Missed the directions to the help-desk!"
"And Mr. Voice-man wouldn't tell us where it was." Wakko chimed in.
Choosing not to ask who or what Mr. Voice-man was, Kassie had to give them props. "Either way, you did good staying in one spot." She ruffled their heads lightly. "Though I think it's about time to head home, wouldn't you say?"
Truth be told, the siblings actually wanted to play on the piano a little longer. It was fun! Even if their music sounded kinda bad. But they followed Kassie to the exit anyways.
When a chubby security guard passed by, Kassie gave him a nod, gesturing to her kids who'd seemed to shrink away a little at the sight of him. The man grabbed his walkie-talkie, probably informing his colleagues. Now that that was handled it was time to go ho-
"Oh! Can we go there? Please? Please, please, please?" Dot pulled at Kassie's sweater while pointing to a clothes store.
The boys had to raise their eyebrows at that. "Uuh… Dot? You do know that we're toons, right? We don't normally change clothes." Yakko pointed out to his little sister. "Actually, why is there even a clothing store?"
"Because some toons do like to switch up their wardrobe." Kassie informed him. "They tend to think of the clothes they were drawn with as work clothes and wear anything but when they're not filming." She scratched her chin with a sheepish chuckle. "Aaaand I'm one of them, honestly."
"So can we take a look? Pleeaase?" Dot used her cute-eyes to try to convince the older toon.
Kassie hesitated. They'd already spend quite a lot today and most of it would be coming from Andy's wallet. She didn't want to keep taking his money, despite him saying it was okay.
The boys also didn't seem too thrilled. "I don't know, Dot. Maybe we could go some other time?"
Dot just upped the cute factor. "Aww… Pretty please with sugar on top?"
"Dot, honey." Kassie let out a sigh. "Just a few minutes, okay? And we're sticking to a budget on clothes!" She made sure to set the rules. "Next time we're here, we'll spend a little longer on the clothes, okay? But not today. Deal?"
Shaking the hand Kassie held out for her, Dot nodded. "Deal!"
"Okay then. Let's at least get you guys pajamas."
Dot of course very much enjoyed the many cute clothes that hung in the store. The complete opposite of her brothers, the eldest of which seemed very indifferent about the clothes. Wakko tried to imitate his brother by remaining indifferent about it, but pretty quickly failed when he saw a hoodie he really liked. Pretty soon even Yakko could help but be interested in some of the clothing he found.
But they stuck to the rules set by Kassie. The four of them eventually left the store with three pajamas, two skirts and a shirt for Dot, the hoodie Wakko wanted as well as another sweater, and for Yakko also a shirt and a new pair of slacks that were surprisingly similar to the one he was wearing, just a different shade of brown.
Now it was about time to go home.
It didn't take too long to get everything set in the Warners' bedroom. It was just a matter of getting everything out of the prop-sack - which Kassie did indeed burn after it was emptied out - and placing it in the room. The old nightstand, the one they already had when this was a guest-bedroom, was put against the right wall with the bed next to it. The new nightstand, was put to the left of the bed. That one would really only be in use when the bed was in king-size mode, though. The lamps, old and new, went on the nightstands. The new one, the one that Dot liked so much, went on the old nightstand since that was on her side of the bed.
Lastly Kassie put up the new curtains while the siblings made their beds. Or attempted to make their beds at while Kassie gave them instructions. They managed to do it eventually.
Now that the room was pretty much done, there wasn't much else to do. And as fun as it was to watch Kassie burn her prop-sack on the patio outside, even that got boring after the first minute. So they decided to explore the house. So far they've only been in the living room, kitchen, upstairs bathroom and their bedroom. They've also seen the garage when they got in and out of the car earlier today, but not much exploring had been done there yet.
Though, since they were upstairs right now they might as well start there. There wasn't much of interest there, though. Opposite of their room was another guest bedroom which was just as bland as theirs, though they at least managed to spice up their room with some new things. The first room on the left of theirs was Kassie and Andy's bedroom, where they couldn't help but notice a missing mattress on one side of the bed. Maybe leave this room alone…
Next to the couple's bedroom was apparently the laundry room. The washing machine was on right now, washing their new clothes. Opposite of that was the bathroom, nothing much to explore there either. Then finally came what appeared to be a storage room. This oughta be fun.
It was not…
All there was to find were boxes full of Christmas decorations, a locked chest, a box with two photo albums with most photos ripped or cut in some weird way, and just random junk. They couldn't even lock-pick the chest! Boring…
Well, time to explore downstairs. Wakko found the bathroom immediately, but the room that they were really interested in was the big one. The mystery room that Andy disappeared to for hours on end yesterday.
"Please let this be better than that boring storage room." Dot pleaded as Yakko slowly opened the door.
It was. It so was! First thing that caught the siblings' eyes was the piano against the far wall, but there was even more. All different kinds of instruments!
"So this is where the music all comes from…" Yakko muttered as he strung random strings on the guitar in the standard.
A chuckle came from behind the door. "Well, yes and no." Andy closed the door he was behind. "I'm guessing you're talking about background music?"
Caught. Well, guessing by the dog's face, he didn't really seem to mind the intrusion too much.
Wakko nodded his head. "Yeah! Though, why do we only hear it in our world?"
"Ai, hitting me with the hard question, huh bud?" Andy teased the boy. "This might need some explaining." He turned his seat away from the keyboard to focus more on the kids. "I know we keep calling it 'your world', but the truth is that your world is part of the real world." This earned a few confused faces. "I know, I know. Let me explain. You know the movie lot, right?" All three nodded. "In those buildings are sets they use for filming. Thanks to the toon-energy it can be as big as the directors want it to be and can differ per shoot. Your world is one of those sets." He paused for a moment to let the information sink in.
"But what about the music?" Wakko repeated his earlier question.
Well, they took that better than expected. "Well, usually there's a separate room where the musicians are playing their instruments. They don't usually interact with the set, since it can become pretty dangerous at times, so that might be why you've never seen it."
Man, learning things you thought you knew aren't how it really works wasn't fun. This was gonna happen a lot more, wasn't it?
The trio looked around the room again. "So, why do you have all these instruments then?" Yakko couldn't help but ask.
"Well, that's easy. I'm a freelance-musician." Andy told him with pride. "I've made a name for myself out there, so people who like what they hear will hire me to play some songs, compose some music, you name it."
"No, I mean why so many?"
There were quite a lot of instruments. There were the aforementioned piano, guitar and keyboard, but there was also a violin, multiple different flutes, drums, a trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, cello, harmonica. You named it, he probably had it!
Andy simply shrugged. "Why not? Music has been my passion since I was created. Of course I'm gonna have a lot of instruments."
*pink**pink**ponk*
The sound of the piano ran through the room. Curious, Andy looked to find Wakko tapping on the keys. He couldn't hold back the fond smile as he remembered doing something similar when he first saw a piano.
He walked over, petting Wakko on the head- err…hat? "Want me to teach you a couple of songs, bud?"
When Kassie had finally calmed down from her pyromaniac episode, she came inside to make some hot chocolate for herself. She thought about asking her kids and boyfriend if they wanted some when she noticed it was quiet.
Way too quiet for the Warner siblings…
Grabbing her hot cocoa, she went to the only room that was sound-proof. The music room. The second she opened the door she was met with the sound of shaky, messy piano play and song.
She found all four missing toons in front of the piano, Yakko being the one currently playing it. Ah, Andy was teaching them, huh?
At some point while she was listening in the doorway, Dot wanted a turn, so a push and shove battle began which Wakko also joined in for, not wanting to be left out.
"Whoa, whoa! Break it up!" Andy called out. "Yakko, you've been on the piano for a while now. It's only fair to give Dot a turn. But Dot, you could've just asked."
Kassie had to giggle at the sight of Andy acting like a father. "He's right you know." she decided to let herself be known. "Besides, it's a little early to start teaching you how to play on the same piano at the same time."
"You can do that?!" the siblings asked in excitement.
"Yeah, but not yet." Andy told them. "Now Dot, I believe you wanted a turn?"
No more words were needed as Dot started playing an easy ditty.
As Dot was playing, the two adults stood on the side watching. "I totally understand your kitten statement now." Andy told her softly.
"Oh?" Kassie smirked. "Whatever do you mean, dearest?"
Andy elbowed her softly. "You know exactly what I mean."
"I know." She still smirked in her cup. "But I wanna hear it from your mouth."
Sighing dramatically, Andy shook his head. "Fine. These kids are totally my puppies as much as they're your kittens." he admitted to her. "Also, I've never felt a bigger urge to play 'Scales and Arpeggios' than now."
Kassie snorted. "You're such a dork."
"But I'm your dork."
"Got that right."
"Eeewww! Get a room!"
Yeah… I couldn't decide between beds for the kids. I mean in the show they're shown in different kinds of beds each time. One time it's a bunk bed, then it's 3 singles and I believe there was at least one episode where they all slept in the same bed.
Also, again, excuse my prizing. I literally just googled the average prize for bunk and king size beds, took the maximum prices, combined them then divided by 2 and minus the cheapest price for a king size bed and came out with 1050. I don't know what I'm doing either!
No detailed descriptions because 1) That way you can use your own creativity to imagine what everything looks like and 2) I just really suck at descriptions.
