Everyone remembers the story of Carrie Nelson, but what happened in between the time of the end of the original show and before the Reboot?
Join Carrie Nelson, and her daughter Lauren as they share tales from the beginning of the troubles all the wa...
(Canonically, Lauren is Bi. Just telling those that don't know this yet. I know a lot of my gay babies out there might not feel accepted by those around them, so this is for you to have some sort of comfort!)
Lauren was pacing around in her room, feeling quite nervous. She couldn't keep lying to herself about a secret that she was keeping from herself and from the entire family, except Carrie who already knew the fact; What she felt inside. Growing up, she always had an attraction to both guys and girls. All her crushes were mixed and she loved making impossible ships that would never happen. Crakko knocked on the door and opened it up, despite him being tiny. "Sister okay?" He asked, walking in slowly and crawling up on her bed. "Yeah i'm fine little bro. It's just something I've been thinking about. Hey, how about we go shopping for cake ingredients?" She picks him up and Crakko nodded. "Yum! Cake!"
(An hour later)
Lauren comes back in with the groceries and Crakko in a holster on her chest, asleep. Carrie looked up from her book and sees her. "Hey there Lauren. Aww, decided to go on a little shopping day with your brother, huh?" Lauren chuckles softly and pets Crakko's head. "Yeah. I just went to get ingredients to make us a cake for dessert later." She goes to the kitchen and sets all of the items down. Eggs, the cake mix, vegetable oil, and some decorative icing. 'I just hope the rest of the family will understand how I feel.' Her thoughts raced back to when she first told her mom.
(Flashback: 2015.)
Carrie was watching the news when Lauren came back from Looniversity graduation practice. "Hey mom. What's going on right now?" She asked her as Carrie turned to her. "The government just announced that Gay marriage is now legalized in all 50 states. I'm quite proud for this turnout." She gave a huge grin as Lauren's mind was cheering. She was happy, but now she wanted to tell the truth whether she would like it or not. "Mom.. There's something that I should tell you, but I don't know if you'll like it." "Sweetie, you know you can always tell me the truth, and I won't get mad. We can always find a solution." She reassures her and got up from the couch as Lauren took a deep breath. "Mom.. I like both guys and girls. I feel bad for hiding this from you.."
Carrie looked in her daughters toon eyes and blinked. "Sweetie, You know I love you. I'm glad you told me the truth." She brings her into a hug and they both shared the sweet little moment. "I'll always be accepting of you no matter what." Her soft voice whispers as Lauren cried in joy into her shoulder. After pulling away from the hug, Carrie wiped away the tears from her face. "Come on dear. Let's get that makeup fixed up, and after graduation, let's go get Ice cream." She brings her back up to her room and they get her makeup fixed up. "I know I have to tell the others once we find them." Lauren sat down in the chair as Carrie pets her head. "I know your father more than anything. He'll love you for who you are."
(End.)
Lauren had finished making the cake and Carrie was helping with the decorations. "Are you absolutely sure that you're ready to tell them?" She asked her and Lauren nodded. "I can't keep lying to myself, and to them. I am ready." She breathed in and out with her mom as she puts the finishing touches on the cake. "Let's get this over with mom." Lauren takes the cake and walks out of the kitchen with it. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Cassidy looked over and looks at the cake. "Wow, that looks amazing." Lauren sets the cake down and sighs softly. Wakko was the first to notice what it said.

"'I'm Bi.'" Dot read the text on the cake and then Yakko started to take the hint. "My little girl knows her truth?" He asked her and then Carrie comes out behind her. "I was the first one she told. We were wanting to tell you all for a little bit. Until we found you, that is." She tells the siblings and Cassidy what it meant and they all go up and hug her tightly. "You're very brave for going the extra mile to do this. We love you Lauren." Dot comforts her as Lauren finally lifted the weight on her shoulders. "Yeah! Now let's eat some cake!" Wakko cuts the cake for the family and they all began to have their slices
