Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 21: Saved By the Wedding Bells (Yakko's Version.)

Carrie was showing Cassidy and Crakko the photo album that she had kept over the years, blowing the dust away from the cover. She opens it up and flipped all the way to the wedding pages. Confused as to why she looked different in the photos, Cassidy looked to her mom. "Is that you?" She asked, pointing to her human self, and Carrie obliged to answer for her. "Yes. Before I was a toon, I was just an ordinary young girl. That was me and your dad on our wedding day, televised and all." Yakko sits next to the three and raised a finger. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Fun fact: I was actually supposed to sing the song that Carrie sang in the episode and Brain was disguised as me." Crakko looked on in amazement, wondering what it would have been like if Yakko was to save Carrie from getting married to a evil mouse.

(In the alternate short.)

The disguised Yakko walked into his dressing room and spin changed into a different wedding tuxedo and got all dolled up. He adorns a rose boutonnière as the finishing touch on the tuxedo as he began to sing. "This day is going to be perfect. The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small. All the heart throb loving bores say I look great in uniform. What they don't know is that I have fooled them all." His eyes lit up a glowing shade of red as it pans to Wakko and Yakko, trying to find their way out of the maze.

"This day was going to be perfect. The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small." Yakko sang out as he fell to his knees. Wakko knelt next to him as they looked in a cracked mirror, the shards giving different reflections of them. "But instead of having cake, with all my friends to celebrate, my wedding bells, may never ring for me at all." He looked up to the partly cloudy sky as they stood back up, running around again.

"I care not one thing about the ring. I won't partake in any cake." The fake Yakko flipped over his own ballpit bed, the balls bouncing everywhere they went. "Vows? Well I'll be lying when I say 'That through any kind of weather, I want us to be together.' The truth is I don't care for her at all!" He held up one of his prop hats and stomped on it, looking up to the lights. "No I do not love the bride! Cause my own heart is dead inside!" The toon picked up a mirror and looked through it's reflection. "But I still want her to be mine!!"

Yakko and Wakko continued to run through the maze, as they got closer to the exit, and Yakko continued to sing. "We must escape before it's too late, find a way to save the day. Hope? I'll be lying if I say.. That I don't fear I may lose her to one who wants to use her. Not care for, love, and cherish her each day!" The two find the exit, but it was blocked as Yakko pushes up on it. "For I oh so love the bride, cause in my heart, she does reside." Wakko pulls out a trusty mallet and handed it over to his brother. "Oh Carrie Nelson, I'll soon be by your side!" And he swung it at the door a few times before the lock broke, and they escaped to run back to the studios

"Finally the moment has arrived for me to take a very, lucky bride." The disguised Yakko spoke while a hypnotized Carrie was walking down the aisle with her mother while Yakko and Wakko made it back into the studios. "Oh the wedding we won't make. She'll end up marrying a fake! Carrie Nelson will be-" "Mine, all mine." And he laughs evilly, ready to let this be all his.

"Vell then, Yakko and Carrie, it is vith great pleasure to pronounce you-" Dr. Scratchandsniff began to finish up the speech before Wakko came through and yelled to the crowd "STOP THIS WEDDING!!" And everyone turned to face him, gasping in shock. "Wakko is right.. It's my own special day!" Yakko came in behind his brother and everyone stared in shock. "Hold on now. I'm confused as to how there's two Yakkos.." Dot scratched her head as she finally made a realization, snapping Carrie out of her hypnotized state. "W-what's going on?" Carrie asked, going over to the real Yakko as Dot took place at the altar.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Yakko that is about to wed this poor lady is a fake! Look at him. His eyes do not look like that. Look at the boutonnière on this sap. It's supposed to be a lilac. Not a rose." Wakko then pointed out the price tag still attached at the bottom. "Look at this. The price tag is still on the darn thing. And this tuxedo isn't correct either! This is the right one that Yakko was meant to wear!" Wakko pulled out the correct purple tux as the crowd started to mumble in suspicion. "So I know it has to be someone that has to be an enemy." Carrie immediately smashes the device that the fake Yakko had on him and the suit came apart.

"Brain! I should have known it was you!" Carrie crossed her arms. Brain sighs. "Alright. You got me, I was just mad about not being invited. At least I explained myself." Yakko then picked him up and puts him in Carrie's hands. "It doesn't give you an excuse to do that. Pinky can stay, but you have to go." She then throws him out and back to ACME Labs, landing in the trash can. "Well.. that was a long ride.. Now I have to prepare for the same thing I do every night with Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
