Just An Experiment: Animaniacs Epic Novel (Back in Black and White Edition)

6: Goodbye Beloved Water Tower

  Little Boy? Little Girl? Where Art thou? Where are you? Are you here?  

At the research facility....

Enchantment grinned and bopped her fingers on the ground as she watched her mommy dancing with her sister and brother. She wasn't able to crawl around that far yet, but she couldn't help but move as she watched her family wiggle.

Dot laughed happily as she kept dancing between her son and daughter. "Come on Caress, move your hips more." Caress laughed as she tried to move her hips more. Dot nodded approvingly as she looked over at Tiger. "Good job, Tigey!"

Tiger grinned as he continued to dance wildly. He started bouncing up and down.

Dot followed his lead and started bouncing. She looked over at Caress. "Come on Caressy, up and down. Up and down, up and down!"

The observers watched with little interest. Dancing, singing, moving, bouncing, this 41590 was becoming more avid in engaging her children in these activities. Unlike a normal animal that would teach its children about hunting or fighting or what to eat, she chose to have them dance and sing and act goofy. It was very hard to understand why she took time to do such activities with her children.

Dot never cared though about the observers expressions. She started snapping her fingers in a catchy rhythm. It took a few seconds for Tiger and Caress to start snapping their fingers too. Tiger was the first to catch the beat. Caress didn't give up though. Dot smiled at her encouragingly as she continued dancing and snapping with Tiger. In a few minutes, she had the beat down. "Great job," Dot commented as she stopped bouncing and dancing. "Keep the rhythm up."

Tiger and Caress continued to dance, bounce and snap their fingers as Dot went over to Enchantment. Dot picked enchantment up and smiled at the baby knowingly. "You wish you could have joined, huh?" She stood the baby up and barely letting its tiny feet touch the ground, let it dance. Of course, it was too small to actually dance but it shook its feet around wildly, it's tongue sticking out in excitement.

One observer scratched his head and made a note about the new activity. Usually the baby was not engaged in the activities. 

Enchantment danced a whole minute before Dot set her back down. She looked over at Tiger and Caress. "Keep it up, keep it up!" Caress and Tiger bounced, snapped their fingers, and danced for an hour straight before Dot said another word.

The observers figured the 41590 would tell her offspring to stop finally when she spoke. Instead, she asked for something else.

"You have the beat in your head?" Dot asked Tiger and Caress.

Tiger and Caress nodded.

"Great. I want you to make a song using that beat," Dot said.

One observer couldn't help but groan. The children were not very good at singing at all. Their voices were too high, too squeaky, and their lyrics were horrid. They had nothing close to their mother's nice voice. No, their singing was almost as bad as listening to nails scratch against a bare chalkboard. The things they did in the name of science.

"What should we sing about?" Caress asked her mommy.

Dot shrugged her shoulders. "Whatever you want."

"Let's sing about our blocks again," Tiger suggested. "*~oUr BloCkS aRe GrEeN!~*"

Caress tried to think of the next part. "*~ThEy arE ReAllY GrEen!~*"

Some of the observers had to put their notebooks down and cover their ears as they heard the 41591 and 41592 make the ear screeching sounds they called 'singing'.
