The Cartoon House (My Genderbent Version)

No Guts, No Anger

[The story brings us to Okuni's room; the girl is enjoying a nice glass of lemonade with a crazy straw, turns to the audience.]
Okuni: "Ah, Friday night. You survived another week of school. Now it's time to kick back, forget your troubles, and crack open a brand new video game." [gets out a copy of Super Mega Brawlers Turbo Fighter and smells it.] "Love that new game smell." [Suddenly picks up another scent; one that worries her.] "Wait a minute." [sniffs again] "Is that...Oh no!"
[Soon, her brothers  start picking up the scent as well.]
Haku: "Sniff. Sniff."
Okuni: "Dad's expensive perfume. Which can only mean one thing." [checks the calendar and finds out what tonight is...] "Date night! Which can only mean one other thing!"
Walter Nelson: "Anger's in charge! Do as he says! Bye!" [leaves]
Okuni: "NOOOOOOOOO! He gets a sick thrill from bossing us around! In this house, we call him the King of-"
Anger: [from upstairs] "NO!" [unplugs Miguel's amplifiers] "NO MUSIC!" [tosses Bloo's mud pie in the trash] "NO MUD PIES!" [approaches Swizzle who's talking on the phone] "NO-"
Swizzle: "Way! That's totes cray cray!"
Anger: [hangs up Swizzle's call] "No phone calls." [takes away Okuni's game] "AND NO VIDEO GAMES!"

[Anger dresses up in a military uniform and blows a whistle that summons his siblings and the pets to the front room.]
Anger: "At ease!" [Everyone feels calmer now] "JUST KIDDING! NOBODY IS TO BE AT EASE IN MY PRESENCE!" [the others regain their forms] "As you know, Mom and Dad left me in charge. That means, you have to do as I say, whether you're tall, short, or covered in fur and can only understand the word "sit"."
[Gidget, Mittens, and Juarez sit down on command, but Frankie tips over in her attempt and knocks Juarez's hamster ball to the side.]
Anger: [busts out a chart of tonight's schedule] "Now, here is our schedule for this evening. 6:00 to 7:00: Sitting on bed with arms folded. 7:00 to 7:30: Chow. 7:30 to 8:00: Thorough cleaning of mess hall. 8:00: Staring at wall until falling asleep. Everyone got that?"
Okuni, Swizzle, Miguel, Gloyd, Jimmy, Haku, Rancis, Ice Bear, and Sweet Pea: "Sir. YES, Sir!"
Bloo: "MA'AM, YES, MA'AM!"
[Anger glares at Bloo for calling him "Ma'am". Bloo covers his mouth, aghast.]
Anger: "DISMISSED!"
[Everyone rushes back upstairs while Juarez hops in her ball up each step.]

[Okuni opens her door and puts a note in Juarez's hamster ball.]
Okuni: "Hey, Juarez. Want a snack, girl?" [tosses the snack over to Rancis and Bloo's door.]
[Juarez rolls over, opens her ball, gets the treat, and gets the twins' attention; Okuni does this with her other brothers; the note tells them to meet in Okuni's room and they sneak over to Okuni's room; Gloyd has camouflaged himself with the wall and sneaks in; Swizzle is the only one who still hasn't snuck out of his room since he's with Anger at the moment; he begins to sneak off while wearing a scarf.]
Anger: [suspicious] "Swizzle, what are you doing?"
Swizzle: "I'm not Swizzle. I'm wearing a scarf."
Anger: [not fooled one bit] "You've got five minutes to do your business."
[Swizzle goes out and sneaks over to Okuni's room to join the others for a big meeting.]
Rancis: This better be good. You know how much trouble we'll be in if Anger finds out we're not in our rooms?"
Okuni: "Rooms? More like prison cells! Every time Anger's left in charge, he makes our lives miserable. Well, I say no more! It's time to take back our Friday nights! Miguel, do you like it when Anger unplugs your amp mid-jam?"
Miguel: "It's way harsh."
Okuni: "And Bloo, how about when Anger throws out your mud pies?"
Bloo: "I work hard on those!"
Okuni: "And Sweetpea, what about when Anger won't let you run around naked?" [Sweetpea takes off his diaper and blows a raspberry in protest.] "Then let's do something about it!"
Swizzle, Miguel, Gloyd, Jimmy, Haku, Rancis, Bloo, Ice Bear, and Sweetpea: "YEAH!"
