Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 12: The First of Many Fights

Wakko was starting to spend time a lot more outside away from the others and Carrie was starting to have some suspicions about it. At the end of the day, she just shrugged it off like it was nothing until one day when Wakko finally came back. "Hey guys. I finally decided to put myself out there and get an actual lady." "Who is it? Is it that Callie girl?" Carrie asked him and he shook his head no. "No. She's way out of my league.." Wakko then opens the door and in comes MacKenzie, Carrie's old bully.

"Why is she here?" She crossed her arms as MacKenzie raised her hands. "Carrie, I can explain about everything, alright?" She began and then started to tell them everything. "When me and Wakko first started talking, he has really opened me up and showed me my true colors.. Ever since my ex took back the kids, I didn't know who else to turn to.. Then he came to me and has made me laugh since.." MacKenzie puts some hair behind her ear. Carrie on the other hand was in disbelief. Wakko dating her old bully?! It was absurd as it all can be. "I need some time to think.." She moves by her and MacKenzie watched her go. "Wait Carrie, if I may-" "No.. Just no." She said and shut the logo door behind her.

Yakko walked out after her and decided to talk with her. "Carrie! What was that all about?" He turned her to face him. "Yakko, I don't care about that right now. MacKenzie is a manipulator. She could be lying. She is the LAST person I want to see!" She got up in his face. "Why can't you just accept the fact that Wakko is in love, Carrie? I'm sure that she was being sincere!" He started to get impatient with her attitude. "It's all too sudden. Him with out of all people, a person that used to torture me?!" She growled and they began to yell at each other. "CARRIE!! The past is all past! Just let this go!" "I CAN'T!! That's the thing!" She snapped back at him and they continued to fight.

Wakko was listening to everything from the other side and MacKenzie was in shock too. "I guess it was too sudden. I'm sorry for this Wakko." "You're fine darling." He pats her back and continued to listen to them. Nora was looking at this through the tower. "Oh boy.. This is the first time I've ever seen them fight like this.."

Yakko finally had enough of Carrie not listening and he stormed back in. "When you want to listen, you can come in." And he slams the door shut. Carrie flinched and walked away, feeling bad about everything. She should have just calmed down. Yakko turned around to meet his daughters angry faces. "We're giving you till tonight to apologize for kicking her out, Dad." Lauren said sternly, tapping her foot. Cassidy held out Arfroid as he barked at Yakko, growling. "Okay, okay." He raised his hands in the air.

(Meanwhile)

Carrie arrived at her father's house and knocked on the door. After a minute, she was greeted by Cassandra. "Hey Carrie, what's the matter?" "I got kicked out. Me and Yakko got into our first fight.." She sighed and walked into the house, taking her shoes off. "Well would you like to talk about it?" Cassandra asked as she prepared some iced tea. Carrie nodded and sighed, laying down on the couch. "My old bully came by saying that she and Wakko were starting to date each other, and I just didn't understand. It was all so sudden." She sniffs and Cassandra handed her her glass of iced tea. "I'm sorry to hear that. You're free to stay here for as long as you need." She tells her and Carrie takes a drink. "Surely Yakko will come around."

((Later that night..))

Yakko finally caved in and opened up the door. "Hey Carrie, I'm sorry for not letting you calm yourse-" He looked around the grate for a bit. "Um.. Carrie? Where are you?" Wakko looked and he couldn't see her. "Nice job big bro, you scared her, your own wife off." Dot crossed her arms and Yakko gulped, getting nervous pretty fast. He knew he messed up big time and his own daughters were after him. He immediately bolted to the flower shop, candy store and finally winning a huge bear at the dunk tank. Then after putting everything together, he searched for her and arrived at the house where Daniel is staying in. He knocked on the door and Daniel answered it. "Yakko, what do you think you're doing here? I heard about what you did." He said sternly.

"Sir, I came here to apologize for my mistake. Where's Carrie?" Yakko begged, holding out the stuff. "This is so heavy." Carrie heard him and walked to the door frame. "Hi Yakko.." She blinks and holds onto herself. "I should have let you calmed down and let you explain yourself." Yakko handed her all of the stuff that he collected for her. "I got all of these for you. Again, I'm sorry.." Carrie gave him a hug. "I'm sorry too." The two share a soft kiss and they headed back to the tower where they were greeted by Wakko and MacKenzie. "Carrie, I-" MacKenzie began and Carrie shakes her hand, giving a grin. "Welcome to the family MacKenzie."
