Life as a toon

Investigating

We saw at a movie theater a Goofy cartoon was on as everyone was laughing as Dimitri was seen watching the show.

Dimitri: Boy! Did you see that Ash? Nobody takes a wallop like Goofy! What timing! What finess! What a genius!

Ashton: (Grabs Dimitri) Get down! You're supposed to be hiding, remember?!

Dimitri: Come on Ash, relax, you're the only person who isn't laughing. But I know a toon killed your parents, but I want to know how it happened.

Ashton: You really wanna know? Fine I'll tell you. See back then my parents and I were investigating a robbery at the first national bank of Toon City, back in those days me and my parents really liked working with toons hell it was my dad's love for my mom that convinced him to move here when it was still called toon town. Anyway, this guy got away with a zillion simoleons. We trailed him down to a little dive down in Yahtzel Street. Went in. Only he got the drop on us. Literally. Dropped a safe on my dad and threw my mom into a vat of dip. And I broke my arm. I never saw who did it but I remember his burning red eyes and that high squeaky voice. He disappeared into ToonTown, and the rest is history.

Dimitri: Wow, that was tough, I'm really sorry about that dude.

Ashton: Jessica Rabbit was the one toon I've loved my whole life because she was my dad's best friend

Dimitri: Wow, it felt like you had everything taken away from you, i kinda feel the same about that, I mostly spent my life like everyone does when I was human but i was volunteered to do a test that would help change the world they decided to strap me down to a table to be put in a machine that did my anime surgery, and afterwards they drove me here to toon city and threw me here like I was trash.

Ashton: Ouch.

Dimitri: Yeah, after that I felt like I was never gonna fit in with society for being someone being turned into a toon.

Ashton: Try being labeled a drunk.

Dimitri: And when they did that I wanted them to turn me back but I learned it was permanent for now.

Ashton: Sorry to hear that.

Dimitri: But things started to change after I met you and the others. And I started to experience what it's like in the toons' eyes

Ashton: Oh, so that means you're deciding to stay a toon huh?

Dimitri: Yeah, at first I thought that being this was terrible but now it's actually pretty nice. (looks at the screen) OH i hope it's another cartoon (sees it is a newsreel) Aw man, it's another stupid newsreel. I hate the news.

Ashton: Tell me about it.

Jessica Rabbit comes in and sits next to Ashton

Ashton: You got all my stuff?

Jessica R: Yes, it's all packed up in the car outside. Would have been here right after you called, but I had to shake the weasels.

Ashton: They didn't hurt you did they?

Jessica R: No, I was able to get out unscathed.

Ashton: Good, that's good to hear.

They then looked at the newsreel.

Newsreel: the Pacific Redcar Trolley Line and the venerated Maroon Cartoon Studios. Here R. K. Maroon is seen clinching a deal with Cloverleaf's bankers and executives in one of the biggest real estate deals in Californian history.

Ashton then looked at it and then his eyes widened.

Ashton: That's it! That's the connection! Come on!

Dimitri: But what happened at the boba tea shop?

Jessica R: Last I heard after you boys escaped the police took in those who were in it to get answers of where you were heading and Jessica Cruz was one of those
