"You know (Y/n), you should really think about having a solo act every now and then." you arched a brow and stopped chewing your food, shifting your gaze to the owner of the familiar voice. Your eyes met with Yakko Warner's, who has now taken a seat next to you. You noticed that the other two Warners took their seats across from the two of you and you swallowed your food to respond to him.
"But why? My partner makes the show funny, I just go along with what he's doing." you defended, taking another bite from your sandwich.
"I would say he tries too hard to be funny. I mean just look at us, we don't even have to try and the people love it! I'd say your toon would be better off without that try-hard partner of yours." Yakko pointed to the cafeteria's exit with his thumb for emphasis. You tried to think of a reply, but the noises of other people talking in the background distracted you.
"Now don't say that, Yakko. I actually think (Y/n) and her partner make a good show. I've watched them rehearse before." Wakko reasoned with him, holding a huge knife and fork in each hand before slamming a large steak onto the cafeteria table. It went unnoticed as you mouthed a 'thank you' to him for agreeing with you, which he smiled and responded with a wink before digging into his steak.
"I dunno, (Y/n)'s partner is a little mean if you talk to him outside of the show." Dot added, taking a cupcake out from her lunch box.
You sighed, "But still a good actor in the show, though. He should be the one with the solo act, not me. (Partner name) may be a try-hard, but he's funny." The three Warners exchanged a look before they all shifted their gaze to you.
"Well, if that ever happens- which I doubt, you can always get hired to be a part of our show. I think Ms. Nurse needs an assistant and she is calling your name!" you chuckled as Wakko and Dot chanted your name in the background.
"Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind." you said. Yakko patted your back assuringly before getting up and heading over to the lunch line. You and Dot watched in amusement as Wakko took the huge steak into his hands and swallowed it whole, patting his stomach afterwards.
"You guys don't exactly come to the toon cafeteria very often, do you?" you asked.
"No, Yakko says some of the mean celebs eat here." she explained, finishing her cupcake and taking a cake out of her lunch box. She looked around and pointed to someone after a few moments. "Like that person! Oh wait, that's your partner." she shrugged and took out a fork, jabbing at her cake.
You laughed, "Not a lot of people go to the cafeteria, come to think of it. My partner is unfortunately one of those people."
"Everyone must be busy filming stuff." Wakko raised his drink and sipped from the straw. "I know we would be, if we ever went to a rehearsal."
"It's really talented that you guys can wing your episodes without rehearsing, even I can't improv that well." You felt your cheeks heat up.
"You're doing just fine, (Y/n). If I had a meatball for every time you had a good improv line, I would be dead."
"Don't want to go back there again." Dot joked, which the both of you laughed at.
"Thanks you guys, going into this business is hard if you don't have people to be there for you." you thanked them sincerely and ignored your sandwich, deciding that you lost your appetite.
"It's no problem, you're our treasured friend after all." Dot mumbled between bites.
"Well, this lunch looks better than I thought it would." Yakko returned with a tray full of food and sat at the same spot next to you. You glanced at the food in his tray to confirm his statement. In it was a plate with a roasted chicken and a bowl full of candy. You glanced back to the kitchen counter, noticing that the candy bowl was missing.
