Just An Experiment

Chapter Eleven: Polka Dot's Confirmation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runway at an Airport in Nebraska...

Caress looked scared at the big object she was moving towards. She was learning a lot about the world, and it was too fast. About dirt, about sky, about cars, about ice cream, and even about her new family. She never even knew she had uncles.

"It's okay, Caress." Wakko smiled at his niece. "That's pretty safe. It's called an airplane."

"It's gonna leave the ground, it'll freak you out I'm sure." Yakko smiled at Caress. "Don't worry though. We're right here, and everything'll be peachy."

"Yeah. You might enjoy flying," Wakko started to spread his arms out and pretended he was a plane. "Wheee! Airplanes are fun, you'll like it."

"It's gonna go up in the air?" Caress was really scared now! "Up in the air?!"

"It's fine, don't worry." Yakko beat his chest. "Like we said before, we're here. So is Scratchy. If you get too scared, just hang on to him."

"Hang on to me?" Scratchansniff frowned. "No, no. You are her uncles."

"So? You're her Scratchy." Yakko just grinned. "Come on, Scratchy. You thought she was a cute cat the first time you saw her."

"Yeah," Wakko agreed as he rubbed Caress' head. "How could you not be her Scratchy?"

Scratchansniff didn't like the way they were making him feel. "Yes, but you two are her Uncles."

Yakko pointed at Wakko. "Yeah Wakko, you're her uncle."

"You're her den Uncle," Wakko pointed back at Yakko.

The den thing again. Scratchansniff couldn't help but wonder what this denning really meant. Not related by blood, but by den? Completely by choice? It was true, adoption and such existed on Earth, but was it the same? He tried to ask it before, but the warners were not always wanting to share information. Warners were just not interested in sharing facts, they always wanted to play and be happy.

At times, Yakko did slip and refer to her as only Wakko's sister. It was quite rare though, usually he considered her his sister too. He had even called them sibs all the time, right?

The den issue hadn't come up for awhile again, but here it had been. Used in defining lines for who Caress would hang onto if she was scared. Apparently, the only difference between real relation and den relation was only considered during arguments?

While Scratchansniff analyzed the situation, the warners were playing rock, paper, scissors.

"I won," Wakko exclaimed. "Ha ha. If she gets scared, she has to hang onto you."

"I still stay Scratchy should do it. I mean, he's her Scratchy," Yakko complained. "Besides, he's good with kids."

"Vhat do you mean by that?" Scratchansniff frowned. "I never had kids."

"You had us." Yakko and Wakko both jumped up on Scratchy.

"Yeah, you were really good with us!" Yakko grinned. "You were excellent with kids."
