Animaniacs (4th Warner)

Together Being Superstars

Dr. Scratchansniff was on the road, taking Dot to a specific destination.

Dot, perched in the backseat, had transformed it into her personal beauty salon, makeup kit and all. She was primping for a grand event, channeling her inner Diva Superstar, meticulously plucking away an unwelcome eyelash.

Beside her, little Lily was strapped in her car seat, eyes wide with wonder at the array of cosmetics. She made a covert mission out of stretching her tiny fingers towards the makeup kit, hoping to explore its treasures unnoticed by Dot.

But then...

"Ah-ah-ah! Hands off, Lily!" exclaimed the psychiatrist.

Startled, Lily whipped around to find Dr. Scratchansniff's stern reflection in the mirror. Sheepishly, she lowered her hand and pouted.

"Big sis has a photoshoot, and she needs to glam up," the psychiatrist clarified.

With a huff, Lily slumped back into her chair, resigned.

"I apologize, Dot. None of your brothers were able to look after Lily, so I had to bring her with me this time. I hope you don't mind having a family member here to support you," Scratchy said, offering a sheepish smile.

"No worries, my sweet little sister is all I need, way more than my good-for-nothing brothers," Dot dismisses with a wave, not pausing her makeup routine. "Anyway, I've been prepping for these gigs in my sleep. Just so you know, this is already my fourth local ad this month."

Dot had just finished brushing her hair and painting her nails simultaneously. Unbeknownst to her, as she was preoccupied with her false eyelashes, Lily's arm stealthily reached over and pilfered them.

"Today, I'm opting for a subtle style, yet adding a dash of glam with these opulent, luxurious lashes," Dot declared. Glancing down at her hand, where the falsies should have been, she let out a dramatic gasp. "There gone!"

Dot rummages around before glancing at Lily, who is in fits of laughter, sporting fake lashes and a smear of Dot's lipstick. Striking a pose, Lily flutters her eyelashes like a pro on the runway.

"Haha, very funny, Lily. But big sis here needs her beauty arsenal." Dot gestures at the items before reclaiming the lashes from her little sister.

"And the lipstick, please."

With a sigh, Lily relinquishes the lipstick to Dot's outstretched, cartoonish gloved hand.

"And don't forget the perfume."

With a groan, Lily passes the perfume to Dot, then turns away, arms crossed, sporting a sulk worthy of an award. "Hmph!"

Dr. Scratchansniff, along with the Warner sisters, has arrived at their destination: the dental office setup.

Dot's photoshoot is just moments away. The producer is deep in conversation with Dot, and Dr. Scratchansniff is multitasking like a champ, perched on a chair, flipping through the newspaper, and giving Lily a bouncy knee ride.

"All righty, Miss Dot Warner, let's get started on the advertisements for Dr. Albert Wilson's dental practice, so give us your biggest smile!" said the producer.

Dot stood in front of the backdrop, poised and ready for the camera.

"Let's take the 'before' picture now."

Dot flashes a grin, proudly showcasing the gap where a front tooth once was.

"And the 'after'!"

Dot yanks out her fake teeth, unveiling a gummy smile. But not for long! With a bit of magic, her real, razor-sharp canines emerge, sprouting from her gums. She gives them a quick lick, a fanged grin confirming they're ready for action.
