Carrie was thinking of ways to celebrate with all of their toon friends, human friends, and studio hands for a big festivity going into a new era of animation and movies. "Hmm.. You guys think we can do a festival of some sort?" Yakko began to think about it. "Hm.. A lot of the stuff is kind of expensive to pay for." Lauren then wrote an idea down. "Ooh. How about a carnival with rides themed after certain characters?" "That sounds like a fun idea! But it might get a bit of trouble trying to get a license to use some characters outside of our company.." Wakko tells them and began to think of something else.

Dot wrote an idea down for something. "How about a dance. Like the gala after the original series finale?" "Ooh. We can try that too!" Carrie began to write down ideas left and right with the family pitching in ideas for a theme. They all chatted with one another before Carrie went to Norita to pitch the idea for the party. She knocks on the door to her office in a friendly manner. "Excuse me Ms. Norita? Can I have a word with you about something?" "Eh, I don't see why not? Come on in, Mrs. Warner-Nelson." Norita called to her from the other side of the door and Carrie walked in, holding the file for the ideas of the celebration.

"What do you wish to talk about today Carrie? This better be quick, I got a meeting in 30 minutes." She puts one leg over the other, looking at Carrie in curiosity. "I was thinking Ms. Norita about a celebration party and what we could do with it." Carrie handed her the file and Nora takes it. "I was discussing ideas with the family, from a festival to even a carnival with rides themed after certain characters. Then we understood that they couldn't work due to licensing stuff.." "Exactly. Glad you could learn from that." Nora opens the file to the gala dance. "Which is why that we finally put the idea down for a dance party. Almost like a prom of some sorts."

"A dance, hmm?" Nora flips it open and looks through the pages. The ideas of beautiful decorations.. The chandelier in the middle. Even down to the food options. "Huh.. This actually looks really good." Nora flips through the pages. "Yeah. We can invite everyone to the biggest ballroom in town. There will be plenty of room for everyone. Toons and humans alike." Carrie gave a huge grin, hoping the idea will go through. "Let me go to my meeting and run this by everyone and I will get back to you on this Carrie." Nora gets up and leaves for her meeting, and Carrie waved goodbye to her. "See you later."

Carrie went back to the water tower to break the news to the family. She climbed up the water tower and looks at everyone. "What Business Lady say?" Crakko asked and Carrie told them what Nora had said. "She said she is going to run this by everyone during her meeting. It doesn't mean we can celebrate this idea just yet you guys." Dot sighs. "Well that is fair." She shrugged. "How long did she say she will be?" "I don't know. It could be later tonight or maybe tomorrow. We don't know." Carrie sat down and Lauren began to think. "Who would we even invite?" She asked. "Well obviously we would invite the Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, everyone. How about we let all of Toon Town come as well." Yakko suggests. "Yeah. And we can invite everyone here too." "Oh boy, I got the perfect dress planned for this." Lauren spins into a beautiful red dress.

"Wow." Carrie looks at her daughter. "Yeah that is very beautiful. Maybe we can all go clothes shopping before the dance." Everyone all nodded in agreement. Wakko stretches. "Let's just get some rest and wait for the call." The family all went to rest up, Carrie stayed up for a little bit longer.

(Later that night.)

Carrie was eventually getting some sleep herself until she gets a ring from Norita. She picks up the phone and answers it. "Yeah Ms. Norita?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. "Hello there Carrie. I did happen to talk to the others about this idea and they really like the idea. We give you the approval to make this dance happen." Nora tells her and Carrie cheers silently. It was some pretty good news. "Alright Ms. Norita. I will tell everyone in the morning." She ends the call and goes back to sleep.
