Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 13: Anima-nyet

Yakko began to flip through some tv channels because he was getting bored. Carrie then takes the remote. "You're going a bit slow, let me take the wheel." She then began to press the button rapidly as she speeds through channels quickly. "That's too fast mom, how can you even tell what's on?" Lauren asked and then Cassidy blinked out. 'She can tell alright.' Then it passes a funny looking version of their water tower and the siblings plus the daughters spoke over one another to tell her to stop. "I'm already passing by the adult channels." Then the picture turns to the tower they saw before and it began to play their intro.

After the intro was done, it transitioned to a big and burly person who was supposed to be Dot walking inside. "Brothers, have you seen loyal wife and doting daughters? I haven't seen them all day." "Okay, I do NOT look like that." Dot scoffs and then the door slams open to reveal three others in the doorway. "Hello, I am Carriestov, a petite lady who has many problems in life. Boo-hoo!" The person playing Lauren pats her mother on the back. "It's okay momma. At least we have president to keep us company.. And of course, I. Laurenstov." Then the actor playing Cassidy made a loud burp.

"No burp loud!" Cassidy huffed, crossing her arms. "Sometimes.." Dot was starting to get angry but Carrie stopped her. "Now now Dot, there's no reason to get mad just yet." What happened next was about to set Carrie off like a firework. The actor playing Yakko dumped all the cleaning and cooking utensils on Carriestov and Laurenstov. "Go clean and cook like women are supposed to do." Carrie then shoots the tv with a nearby shotgun. She wasn't about to have any of that.

"Nice one dear." Yakko loved the chaos that she was bringing. "Get me another TV, Wakko." Carrie reloaded the shotgun and he sets another tv in place, tuning the channel to a Chicken Boo segment. "I'm not really feeling it today with him, next!" Carrie called and he tuned the tv to Tom and Jerry. "Yeah, yeah.. Keep going, keep going." Wakko tuned it back to their Russian ripoff as Laurenstov spoke. "I know that women have a bunch of potential!!" but Yakkov shakes his head. "Dream on, little one. They don't." "BINGOOO!!" Carrie smirked and shot at the tv again. "We are going to Russia to tell these people a thing or two." Wakko packed up their things and headed out the door. Carrie looked at the shotgun in her hands and sighs. "I gotta return this to Elmer soon.."

(Later)

The family all arrived in Russia and Cassidy puts on Dots old shawl from the movie. "Cozy." She giggles and then looked around. "Man, Russia is exactly like what they said in the movies.." Lauren looked around the place as they walked through the area. "I mean the women are something else here too. All tens and ones." Dot looked at the girls passing by, going "Wow.. Woah.. Wow.. Woah.. Wow.. Woah.." "Woah." One lady cringed slightly at Dot and Dot pouted. "Aww, I'm a woah!" She sniffs and Yakko pats her back. "Don't feel bad sis. You'll always be a wow to the guys."

Soon enough, they arrive at the lot and Carrie kicked down the door. The actors turned to face the door. "Oh look. It be our American counterparts. What do you want?" Yakkov asked them as Carrie jumped at him but then she gets held back by Lauren and Yakko. "We're here to put a stop to this production all together. Sorry, she's hostile." Wakko crosses his arms and stares them down. "You know copying off of people is completely wrong and unfashionable. Why don't we teach you how you can be like us?" He then looked to the piano to see a familiar face. "Original Animaniacs composer Randy Rogell?" Randy points to the chain and spoke through gritted teeth. "Help me.." Yakko comes up behind him and spoke out in a whisper "After the song." Then Randy begins to play a Melody on the piano.

"To be like me, all you gotta be is perfect, funny, cute, and smart and strong." Dot began to sing and kicked her counterpart like a soccer ball. "And if the time permits, find your Slavic counterfeits, and kick their ample butt-skis from this song." Carrie then takes the upper hand to show how to be like her. "So to be like me, it's all in the beauty. Where you need to see the pleasure through your pain. Cause the acting business pays, and it's sure to be a bliss. Because you get to give your love a kiss like this." And she brings Yakko into a heated makeout while Wakko began to sing his part.

"To be like me, eat everything you see. And always stand up for your mates. And if some big brawny czar is acting real bizarre, just pop his muscle suit and watch him deflate." Wakko popped his counterpart open like a balloon and then looked to Lauren and Cassidy. "How about you two? Do you want a say in this matter?" The two girls nod and Lauren began to sing their double part. "Now to be like me." "And me!" Cassidy chimes in and they began to sing together. "It's real easy. You have to prove your power is not a game." "Cause I'm the brawn." Lauren points to herself as did Cassidy as she said "And I'm the brains." "We will always bring our top A-game. And we will put our enemies to shame!"

Yakko finally took his turn in the song. "And to be like me, well buddy here's the key. Use the pen and not the sword when you're in a fight.You could write a clever rhyme, turn your foes into a mime! And then sign off by wishing everyone Gooooood Night!!" Carriestov began to bang on the invisible walls. "Let me out, or I call police!" "Yeah, I don't think they would care. It's a victimless mime." Yakko remarks as he brings the family together to sing the final verse.

"So to be like us, it doesn't take much fuss. And just like us, it's really all black and white! You just gotta be yourself.... Don't copy someone else.. Cause being you is a singular delight." Carrie then slams a stack of lawsuit papers against them. "And we're seeing you in court on Monday!" Lauren then picks up Randy. "And we're taking this with us!" And the family left.

"And we won that $5 million dollar case easy." Carrie chuckled and opened up the safe where they kept it and jumped in the money pile. The family joins her soon after for a day of fun
