Anywhere But Burbank

Chapter 48: A Night We'll Never Forget

Carrie was talking with the press about the big dance nigh. "So Carrie, can you tell us about what happened at the Dance Night?" One interviewer asked her, holding out a mic. "The big dance? It was a huge celebration. The biggest night of all our toon lives. Like it was the ending of one chapter, and the beginning of another one." Carrie sighed dreamily. "We danced the night away. Me and Yakko won Dancing King and Queen, but I knew something was going up on that day. And No, Pinky and The Brain were not behind one of their fiendish schemes. So after the whole missed bucket sham, Me and Yakko gave our crowns to Wakko and MacKenzie." She looked up at the ceiling, thinking back to the big day when everyone from Toon Town helped out.

(Flashback: The day before the big dance.)

People were coming in from Toon Town to the huge ballroom in town. Some were handing down decorations, others were putting them up. Then they began to sing a song to pass the time. "You ain't seen nothing yet. It's gonna be a night we'll never forget. You ain't seen nothing yet. It's gonna be a night we'll never forget!" A rack full of dresses and tuxedos gets pushed to the spares in the back by Bugs Bunny. Everyone continued to entertain each other with the song. "You ain't seen nothing yet! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget! You ain't seen nothing yet! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget!!"

Babs, Buster, Plucky and Hamton began to make the invites to the big event of the year. "Oh my gosh, this big night is just a few days away." Fifi began hanging up some decorations. "I've had nothing to eat since yesterday!!" "I'll be gone back to town by the morning sun's own rays." Elmyra pulls on a rope as it lifted the mural and banner respectively, then it cuts to some getting their makeup done. "All I care's that i'll be there with my cute looking guys." Lola and Jessica sang together as Hamton got ready by himself. "If Lauren asks me to dance, I swear I'll die." "I will never look back once I finally say goodbye!" Babs stacked up the invites and began to hand them out to everyone.

"This will be just great. Yeah, our lives are gonna take flight. Can't wait till Saturday Night. Yeaaaaah!" "$140 bucks for some tux? I hope I'll be okay." Roger adjusts his tie as Jessica helped him. "You've been wishing for that since the deal went away." "Yeah. It's the least we deserve after everything we paid." He tells her and she shakes her head. "Sad." Minnie popped up with some snacks on a cart. "I got the snacks!" Dot came in with some drinks and ingredients separately for fruit punch. "Got the drinks." "Got the limo for ten. And we might get a chance like this again!" Pesto, Bobby and Squit sang together and Wakko helped set up the chandelier. "I will leave as a boy, but I'll come home as a man!"

"This will be just great. Yeah, our lives are gonna take flight. Can't wait, We can't wait till Saturday Night. You ain't seen nothing yet! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget! You ain't seen nothing yet!! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget!!" Everyone sang together as the scene pans to Amelia putting on her toon disguise. "God Amelia.. The other toons are talking.." Lucille shook her head as she brushed her hair. "Let them Lucille, I don't care." "We can't believe that you're going disguised to see your daughter." Serafima and Eddie both tell her as Amelia turned to them. "Come on, it's just one night."

Meanwhile, Wakko was meeting with MacKenzie's ex husband and kids. "You're the one taking our mom to some dance?" The girl Wendy asked Wakko and Wakko raises his hands in defense. "Look, I know it sounds a bit crazy.." He began but her ex husband Jerry interrupted her. "Have you lost your freaking mind?" Butch nodded in agreement. "Yeah, if you were THAT desperate, you could have just asked me." All of them turn to Butch as he laughed a bit. "What? I'm joking." "You ain't seen nothing yet... It's gonna be a night we'll never forget.." Everyone sang as the scene goes to Carrie, Lauren and Cassidy dress shopping. "I bet other girls already know the ways to get their skin to glow, and I can learn." Cassidy sang as she picks out a light pink dress. "I'm not sure how all these dresses mix. The other girls, they got their tricks, but I can learn." "It's our turns on saturday night!!" The three girls sang together.

Daniel, Cassandra and Norita began walking down the hall, giving invites to the various workers. "Hon, you really think that the Brain is finally done with his antics between the family?" Cassandra asked and Daniel nodded. "Sure of it." "Why in what names would he try to be nice?" Norita shakes her head, mailing one out to Hello Nurse. "And that's what I intend to find out." Cassandra places a hand on his shoulder. "What about Chloe and Raquel? Are they still giving you grief?" "Not a peep. It honestly worries me even more." Daniel shakes his head as they walked onward.

Raquel walked through the rafters of the stage, holding onto a pulley system to set up. "I believe in getting even, that's what I believe. And I just don't forgive and forget this. I don't turn the other cheek for two pathetic freaks. Carrie and MacKenzie will regret it!" As she sets up the pulley system, Chloe almost trips up the steps with a bucket of red food coloring. "Oh watch it! You're going to dye the whole place you stupid prick." "Who are you calling stupid prick? This whole thing was your idea." Chloe sneers and Raquel nodded in agreement. "Damn straight it is. And it's gonna be good."

"On the Party City floor, Ee-yi-ee-yi Oh." Chloe smirks as she ties a rope around the handle of the bucket and Raquel sends it in through the pulley system. "And then we stole-" "Food Coloring." They both sang together and over lapped one another. "Ee-yi-ee-yi." "Ee-yi-ee-yi!" "Ee-yi-ee-yi Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh! Ooooooooohhhh!!" Carrie puts her dress up on a hanger as did MacKenzie. "I never dreamed that I would go. When Norita asked and I said no. She asked me twice.. She asked me twice." "When Wakko asked me, of course I told him yes. My ex friends won't know I guess.. How I might just look in my blue dress." "I might/I just might look nice!"

"We're getting there but not quite! Can't wait till Saturday Night." The other toons continued the decorations. "You ain't seen nothing yet! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget! You ain't seen nothing yet!! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget!!" "This will be great! It's gonna be a night we'll never forget! This will be great! It's gonna be a night we'll never, No never, We'll never forget!!" "Let's finish these up!!" Bugs calls as the chandelier gets hanged up. "A night we'll never forgeeeeeeeeeet!!!"
