Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 28: King Yakko and Queen Carrie

Carrie finished up the drawing from earlier and looked at it in glory. She had made Yakko and herself a king and queen respectfully. Crakko pointed to Yakko and grinned. "Daddy." He cheers and Carrie walked with him out to show it to everyone. "Hey guys.. I've been thinking about my choice of not joining the Wakko's Wish movie and I wanted to show what I could have done with my part." She gave the drawing that she made and Yakko takes a look at it. "You know, this is a funny coincedence." "How so?" Carrie questions him and he finds one of the old scripts. Yakko flipped through the pages of the original script before finding the end of the book and turning it around for her to see.

"This was going to be the original ending before you turned it down." Yakko shows Carrie the ending for it. "We wanted to keep it a secret when we started filming and surprise you." Dot cupped her hands together. "Now we feel bad for keeping it that way from you." Carrie turned to Lauren and asked her. "Did you know about this?" She shook her head no. "I am just as surprised as you." Carrie spun into the outfit from the picture and sat down, wondering what could have been the other ending to this movie.

(In the Alternate ending.)

Wakko immediately got his hands on the star as the others in the distance watched him closely. Carrie and Lauren were mother and daughter servants to King Salazar, and had them imprisoned when he found out that the two were secretly helping the kids get closer to the star. Wakko immediately closed his eyes. "Oh glorious star, I wish but of 4 things from you. I wish for my sister to be all well again, for Carrie and Lauren to be free from the king, two Ha'pennies, and for my brother to be king instead." The star soon disappears and two Ha'Pennies appeared in his hands, and Dot awoke from her limp state. "Ugh.. What happened?"

Carrie and Lauren looked at their hands and sees the chains disappeared before their very eyes. "We're free. We're finally free!!" She tears up and picked up her daughter before rushing over to the Warners as Yakko transformed into the new king, leaving the former King Salazar in his briefs. Everyone turned to him as he covered up, while everyone stared at him and laughed, watching him run off in tears. The new king Yakko looked up at Carrie and gave a huge grin. "Carrie, I have something I want to say to you." Carrie looked down at him as Dot and Wakko stood together. "Go ahead, your highness." Yakko breathed in and finally started his confession.

"Carrie, the moment we first laid eyes on each other, I knew that something special would come along. You're kind, you're caring, and most of all, a mother trying to keep herself on her toes to your little girl." Yakko held her hand and Carrie intertwined their fingers. "And I realize that you're the one. I want you to be more than a low servant. I want you to be the opposite of what you are." He brought out a box and opened up and there was a nice shiny ring. "Carrie, will you be my wife and the future queen of Warnerstock? And will Lauren join us as the future princess?" Carrie immediately nodded. "Yes! Yes!" The two hugged each other and Lauren hugged Yakko's leg.

(End.)

Carrie sighs softly and smiles like a dork. "Wow. This is really sweet." Lauren then got an idea and spun into a layered green dress and did the same with Cassidy. Cassidy looks at her dress. "ooh. I love this." The girls look at themselves in the mirror and adored their looks. Wakko took a photo for the album. Yakko immediately had a thought for himself. "Wait. I have a question. Since we found Crakko, how would we find him in that universe?" Carrie began to think and then made her suggestion. "Maybe when me and Yakko are on a commute in the town, we hear crying coming from the orphanage and we decide to investigate and find him there and bring him back to the palace with us." Dot immediately wrote that down, beginning to imagine what it would be like.

(In the scene.)

Queen Carrie and King Yakko rode in their carriage, on a commute in the town. The two waved to their people and said numerous hellos. The carriage stops and they step out together, suddenly they hear a kid crying. "Darling, do you hear that?" Yakko asked Carrie as she listened closer to hear the crying again. "It's coming from this way." The two rush to the location of where the crying was coming from and see the orphanage. "We really need to get a plan to rebuild this." Carrie opened up the barred door and looked around. "Hello? Anyone here?" She asked as Yakko went to the right, and she went to the left. After some searching, Yakko finds the child. "My dear, i found them!" He calls to her and Carrie sees the kid.

Crakko sat in the corner, shivering and crying. He looked up at the King and Queen and blinked softly. The only thing he had for warmth was a torn down blanket. Carrie held out her arms. "We are not going to hurt you, sweetheart. We just want to help you." Her hands pick up Crakko and she wraps him up in her shawl to keep him warm. "We can't just leave this kid out here all alone. He'll freeze to death." Yakko nodded in agreement as the two walk out of the orphanage with Crakko in their arms. The townsfolk see the poor kid and looked closer as various mumbles come from them. "Oh no!" "The poor child." "Someone must have forgotten them when it shut down.."

((Back at the palace.))

Carrie had given him new clothes and the cooks made him a nice warm meal to warm him up and Crakko began to eat. Yakko watches happily as Wakko and Dot joined them. Since then, Wakko became the royal jester and Dot was in charge of designing new gowns. "Oh no. A lost child, what happened?" Wakko asked and Carrie turned to them. "We were on our commute to meet the people when Yakko heard the crying. We went to the orphanage and found him there." Lauren walked in pushing Cassidy in her stroller. She sees the kid and gasped. "We have a brother?" She smiled in delight and Carrie sighs. "Yeah. We really have no other choice." She takes a look at the name tag on him and sees the name 'Crakko'. "Well, Prince Crakko.. Welcome to the Royal Family.
