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

7: Don't Even Get to Say Goodbye

  Farewell Tiger. Take care little warner. We'll see you one day...  

Burbank, Scratchansniff's quaint little home...

Yakko tapped his fingers against the windowsill in boredom. "This is worse than jail. At least there wasn't any temptations to try and break out. It was impossible. Here, it's just a door."

"Yeah, I know," Wakko whined. "If we leave though, something might happen and we'll get blamed for it. As long as we're here, we have Scratchy as an Alibi."

"Alibi, Alibi. Eh..." Yakko groaned. "I don't get it. They already have Dot, why do they want us locked up again?"

"Maybe they thought we were getting closer?" Wakko suggested.

"How?" Yakko commented, staring out at some kids playing in the street. "We never got close. We only went to check out the abandoned facility, that's it."

"Yeah." Wakko agreed. "There wasn't anything there at all. Just little drawings."

"Not even a word on missing little warners still." Yakko seemed a bit distant as he replied.

"Not of male warners either," Wakko reminded him. "Don't start thinking in a weird direction."

"I'm not." Yakko smiled. "Heck no, Dot's fine. She's still her old self. A little older, I don't know. Either way, she's okay I'm sure."

"Yeah. It's us we need to worry about," Wakko said. "We never got close to them, I don't get it."

Yakko thought about what Wakko said. "Could they have seen us check out the abandoned place?"

"How would they know?" Wakko frowned. "Yakko, we trespassed. No one would know unless someone was there."

Yakko's eyes lit up. After a second, Wakko's lit up too in realization.

"No one would know unless someone was there," Wakko repeated happily.

The Warner Brothers were grinning from ear to ear. That was it, that was why the place was getting antsy.

"If someone is watching the place, then they must know how to connect to the real place," Yakko said. "We've gotta go back and look around harder. Someone is watching the place, we just have to find them."

"Und leave the house? You've only been here one day." Yakko and Wakko looked back at Scratchansniff. "Thees is not smart. You should be staying in one place until this is over."

"But someone is connected to Dot. What if they leave?" Wakko said.

"We don't care about our rep anymore Scratchy, it's beyond damaged," Yakko replied. "Besides, you can still be our alibi."

Scratchansniff groaned. "Off again?"

"Yep," the brothers cheered happily.

"Great, we've got another place to start," Yakko said. "I was going nuts just standing in this place." Yakko pointed outside. "To Nebraska again. This time, we'll find her for sure."

The research facility, afternoon...

Dot yawned as she got comfortable in some blankets. Caress was napping beside her. Tiger didn't feel tired, but not wanting to feel left out, leaned on his mommy's shoulder. Dot was gently holding Enchantment who had also fallen asleep. It was a very lazy day today.

"41591. Drawing."

Tiger's ears perked up as he heard a scientist say his number. He was used to being taken out of the room for certain activities. He casually left his mom's shoulder and went toward the back of the room. There would be a small special white door that opened up somewhere along the back. It was always hidden though until it finally opened.
