Chapter Twelve: It's Mime Time

A week later...

Zenny looked over at the Warners as they watched TV. They weren't what he had expected. So far, none of them had been devious or evil, and none of them showed that they weren't to be trusted. Looks could be deceiving but so far, everything seemed fine. Still, he couldn't reveal all the secrets that they had been keeping. After all, the Warners obviously had their own secrets they didn't want to share. He watched as Dot went passed him to the kitchen for something to eat as the Warner Brothers whispered back and forth to each other. Shrugging his shoulders he decided to join her.

"So, how's everything going?" Wakko asked excitedly. "You've had three dates now, right?"

"..." Yakko faked a grin. "Great, it's fine. She's great. She's real nice, she's never mean, she doesn't belittle me and she's not a manipulative bitch at all."

Wakko just blinked at his brother. "But I thought-"

"-She's soo hot," Yakko interrupted, "but every time she does something that I just can't take?" He batted his eyes. "Oh Yakko! Pleeease? For me?" He rolled his eyes.

"Well, she does live with Minerva," Wakko pointed out. "Manipulating guys is what she does." He looked at his brother curiously. "Did you tell her off then?"

"Nah, we have our fourth date next week," Yakko confessed. "One part wants to tell her where to stick it! But the other part..." He groaned. "Whatever." He turned to look at Wakko. "So how's you and 'Arni'?"

Wakko frowned. "Iri." He growled at Yakko. "I hear that enough all day."

Yakko just smirked. "Yeah, yeah, how's the girl coming along?"

Wakko just grinned. "She's . . . nice." He smiled. "We kind of have this 'blackmailing me for a date' thing aggression that gets in the way, but I don't think it's as big. She even lets me call her Iri now." His smile became very cheerful. "I think she might even be- sorta- kinda-maybe starting to like me." He squeezed his hands together. "I think on our next date, I-I might be able to get a kiss."

"..." Yakko just shook his head. "Okay, I give in. Do you still want to switch?"

Wakko frowned. "Hell no." He growled. In fact, he had come on a bit stronger than Yakko had counted on.

Yakko just blinked. "Wow. You're starting to like the guy/girl?"

"Don't call her a guy/girl!" Wakko stood up and crossed his arms. He had enough of that! Everyday Iri was always hiding as Arni. Always. Always, always, always. Until a date. Beautiful, fresh, zealous, she could be herself when she was finally out of the guy shell. Then, right back in.

Wakko sat back down. "If Dot just knew, she could be herself around the tower."

Yakko's eyes became raised. "Whoah, whoah, whoah, Wakko. It was part of the deal that Dot didn't know, same as everyone else."

"I know," Wakko admitted. "I won't tell. It's just that, Aroma and Zenny and you and me all know she is really Iridescent. Just Dot stands in the way." He smiled longingly. "Then she could be free inside the tower."

Yakko shrugged his shoulders. "Careful, Wakko. You're just getting ten dates," he warned his brother. "She doesn't really like you, she's dating you to make you shut up."
