So I've always wanted to do my own Animaniacs story for quite some time and this will be my very first attempt to do so. The only problem was: What would the story be about? Would it be an adventure? A romance? A comedy? A horror story? In the end, I decided to read up on some of the fanfics and decided on a drama story.

So, if the characters seem a bit OC, I do apologize. I did so to try and help establish the plot and move the story along. Anyway, here we go.

Somewhere in Burbank, California, at an abandoned studio lot, there laid an old water tower that was virtually untouched by time. And yet, as the sun rose, and if you listened closely, you could hear the sound of snoring.

Wait, snoring?

Yes, inside the water tower of Warner Brothers Studios were the ever-so-infamous Warner Siblings: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

"But if you call me Dottie, you'll die" Dot muttered in her sleep, only for a still sleepy Yakko to quietly say "Dot, don't threaten the writer." Returning to their sleep, they didn't notice that outside the water tower, a lone figure began to walk towards it. The lone figure, a female mink with long blonde hair and tail to match wearing an orange blouse and blue jeans. As she stopped in front of the ladder to the top of the tower, Minerva Mink sighed and told herself "I can't believe Dot put me up to this" as she began the long climb up.

At this point, you're probably wondering what's going on. Well, before I tell you this story, I need to take you back to the beginning….

(4 Months Prior)

It was the middle of the night as the Warners slept, despite the oncoming sounds of gunfire and dogs as Dot soon heard a new sound: a loud knock on the door. "You've got to be kidding me" Dot muttered before adding "If it's not Brad Pitt, I don't care." Getting out of bed and walking towards the living room, Dot asks through the front door "Who is it?" To Dot's surprise, the voice belonged to Minerva dressed in a night gown as she replied "It's me, Minerva. Can I come in?" Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Dot opened the door and allowed Minerva in as she immediately slammed the door shut, then locked it. "Is there something I should know about, Minerva?" Dot asked, as Minerva leaned against the front door and sighed in relief. "Thirsty? Need to take a load off?" Dot asked jokingly, as Minerva shot her a look and replied "Not funny."

After a moment or two, Minerva walked over to the couch and sat down as Dot left for the kitchen, only to return with a glass of water. "So, what's the deal?" Dot asked, handing Minerva the glass. Taking a moment to drink, Minerva replied "Well, as you know, minks were currently listed as an endangered species so hunters can't hunt our fur anymore. Unfortunately, there were a few that weren't ok with that decision. So, when they came to my house I came to the closest place I knew was safe: here." Putting her hands on her hips, Dot huffed and said "Hunters, there nothing more than bullies." Shrugging her shoulders, Dot mutters "I'll be right back" and leaves the room.

A few minutes later, Dot returned with a blanket only to notice Minerva had fallen asleep. Dot sighs and tells herself "She's had a long night and we could use some sleep." Covering Minerva's body with the blanket, Dot decided to head off to bed, but not before deciding "Minerva, you owe me one."

(One Week Later)

Taking a break from her brothers, Dot had stopped at a local coffee shop with Minerva, as the two had caught up and learned the hunters had since been arrested and stripped of their hunting license. What surprised Minerva, thought, was just how exactly the hunters were caught.

"So, Dot" Minerva began, taking a sip of her coffee before continuing "You recall my previous visit to the water tower, correct?" Dot nodded before taking a sip as Minerva continued "Well, funny enough, when I got back home all the hunters were tied up. So, I have to ask: how did you do it?" Dot took another sip before putting her coffee down and replying "I didn't. Yakko did." Minerva raised an eyebrow, staring at Dot as if she believed she was lying. Dot, however, simply said "It's true. Turns out he heard us overnight and decided to take care of your problem." As Dot said this, Minerva began to picture it in her mind….

….a group of hunters continued to look around for any minks in the area. However, one of them suddenly shined their flashlight at Yakko, standing there with a large rope and duct tape. "Looks like I found some new special friends" Yakko said, exhaustion clearly due to a lack of sleep but deciding to take care of the hunters personally. On that night, not a single hunter could escape their fate as they screamed for mercy.

"…..are you thinking about my brother?" Dot suddenly asked, snapping Minerva out of her daydream as she shook her head and replied "What? Of course not. What could possibly make you think that?" Dot, however, smiled and said "You're lying." Minerva continued to shake her head and hands, announcing to Dot "What, no! Obviously no! How could you think that?" Dot, without removing her smile, replied "Because you're blushing." Minerva, surprised, pulled out a small hand mirror and looked into her face. Sure enough, she was indeed blushing. Putting her mirror away, Minerva stuttered and said "O-of course n-not. D-don't be s-silly." Regardless, Dot cupped her hands together and says "Either way, you kind of own me a favor…."

(Present)

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*

Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Wakko sat up and asked himself "Wonder who that could be?" Wakko climbed out of bed and walked towards the door as Dot announced "If it's a door to door salesman, send him away." At that moment, Wakko returned to their bedroom and grabbed his mallet, then turned around and went back towards the door.

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*

"Hold on, I'm coming!" Wakko announced towards the door, muttering afterwards "If it's a salesman, at least I'll have an excuse to use this", referring to his mallet. As he reached the door, Wakko opened the door and said "We don't want…." Wakko stopped upon seeing Minerva, jumping up into the air and shouting "HELLO, NURSE!" As Wakko landed on the ground, he threw his mallet aside and said "If you're selling, I'm buying." Rolling her eyes, Minerva simply told him "Hi Wakko, long time no see. I'm looking for your sister. Is she here?" Wakko nodded and told her "I'll go get her. Wanna wait in the living room?" Minerva nodded and entered the water tower as Wakko closed the door. As Minerva waited, she recalled the end of her previous conversation with Dot…..

(Flashback to 3 weeks ago, continuation)

"…..I want you to go on a date with Yakko" Dot announced, leaving Minerva shocked. "You're kidding, right?" Minerva asked, only for Dot to shake her head. "Dot, no offense but Yakko isn't in my league." Dot raised an eyebrow and frowned, as Minerva continued "Sure, I admit he's cute in his own way, but I don't want cute. I want a guy who's handsome, who's rich, and who can take care of me. Yakko can't do any of that. That's why I always set my eyes for the big prize. After all, the size of a man's wallet is the best way to live a great life."

Unfortunately for her, Dot crossed her eyes as she sighed and said "Y'know what Minerva? I was going to be nice, but forget it. You're going on a date with my brother, rather you like it or not." Minerva crossed her arms and said "Nope. Sorry Dot, but no." The two stare at one another before Dot announced "If you don't do it, I'll tell everyone about your second job at a late night store for…." Minerva suddenly covered Dot's mouth with her hands, telling her "Don't you DARE tell anyone about that. I can get fired and blacklisted from Warner Bros for that." Dot then asked "So, we have a deal?" Minerva huffed before replying "Fine, deal."

(Present)

"Dot, wake up" Wakko whispered into her ear, as he tried to shake Dot awake. "Go away. You're ruining my cutie sleep" Dot muttered, as she tried to return to the realm of sleep. "But Minerva is here. She wants to talk to you" Wakko whispered to her, but Dot simply muttered "Yea, whatever" before suddenly sitting up and shouting "WHAT, SHE'S HERE'S NOW?" Dot jumped out of bed and told Wakko "Quick, help me get Yakko in the shower." At that moment, Yakko began to stir.

Grabbing Yakko by his arms, they immediately forced him out of bed and towards the bathroom as Yakko asked "What are you two doing? It's Saturday. It's lazy day for us." Dot, however, huffed and said "Not today it isn't. Today is your date day." Shocked, Yakko skidded to a stop just inches from the bathroom and said "Nope. No way. I don't date. Not happening. Not at all!" Letting Yakko go, Wakko and Dot crossed their arms as Wakko said "Aw, come on Yakko. You haven't been the same since the movie." Now deciding to cross his own arms, Yakko huffs and says "I haven't changed one little bit. I just don't date." Wakko and Dot look at one another, both with a raised eyebrow before Dot asked him "Shall we?" Wakko nods and replies "Let's."

"Calista Flockhart…"

"Melissa Joan Hart…"

"Cher…"

"Dolly Parton…"

Dot looked at Wakko and raised her eyebrow at him again. Wakko's response was simply "What?" Dot rolled her eyes before they continued.

"Miley Cyrus…"

"Katy Perry…"

"Kim Kardashian…"

"Hello Nurse…"

"AJ Lee…"

Wakko looked at Dot and asked "You watch wrestling?" Dot shrugged her shoulders and replied "I know some of the names, but not everyone." "What's the point of this?" Yakko suddenly asked, as Dot replied "Since the movie, you just stopped trying to flirt with women and tried acting more like an adult. In fact, when we met all of them, you just stood there and did nothing." Yakko, a little surprised but not moving, asked "And?" Wakko sighs and replies "Well, you just became more protective of us." Yakko, still not moving, said "Plotz wanted to lock us in the tower again, this time without the fumigation. I wonder whatever happened to Plotz after the movie anyway." The three Warners look at the camera and shrug their shoulders.

(Flashback to 1999)

As Plotz watched the Warner siblings being locked in a box which was being loaded into the water tower, he turned to the series of dollar bills on the table. "Thanks to those Warners and all the money the film made, this'll keep the Warners trapped for another 20 years of so and keep the company funded. Maybe this time I won't let them out and cut some expenses by not fumigating." As Plotz began to count all the money, the door was suddenly kicked in. "Now what?" Plotz asked, only to be in shock as Bugs Bunny himself revealed himself, apparently upset. "What's up, doc?" Bugs asked, as Plotz quickly began to hide the money in his table drawers. "Mr. Bunny, what brings you here today?" Plotz asked, as Bugs crosses his arms and replies "I understand that the Warners are gonna be locked up again after their movie. I also understood you cut expenses by making it direct to video, didn't you?" Bugs then turns to the camera and says "By the way, that ain't creative writing folks. That really happened."

Plotz chuckled nervously and replied "Well, to be fair, those kids are too destructive to be out and about 24/7. Plus, by cutting fumigation, theatre promotions, and movie theatres out altogether, we save hundreds in costs." Bugs, however, says "That may be, but at the expense of the entire Animaniacs cast. Plus, what you plan to do to those kids was the final straw." Bugs began to crack his knuckles as Plotz began to sweat. Plotz then asked "What are you going to do to me?" as Bugs replied "Let's just say CEOs can be replaced just as easily as they can be hired." Beginning to reach over to him, Plotz shouted "NO!" as the scene went to black.

(Present)

"The point is you're going on a date and that's final." Dot announced, as Yakko raised an eyebrow and said "Again: Not happening and there's no way you can make me." At that moment, Dot turned to Wakko and said "Well, I tried the nice way. Wakko, get the movie." Beginning to shake, Wakko said "Come on Dot. That's too terrible, even for Yakko. Anything but that." Giving him a stern eye, Dot said "Get the movie, Wakko." Horrified, Wakko pulled out his gag bag and slowly began to reach into it. "What are you two doing?" Yakko asked, as Wakko soon pulled out a movie so awful even he dared not to look at it. "Last chance, Yakko. Date or movie?" Dot asked, as Yakko shrugged and asked "Why not both?" At that moment, Dot rolls her eyes before finally announced "You asked for it" and revealed to Yakko the film.

The Garbage Pail Kids.

Yakko suddenly looked at the film and cringed in horror. Even he knew of the horrors of the film and realized that if he didn't go through with Dot's arranged date for him, he would have to see the evil contained within that film for himself. Lowering his arms, he announced "Ok Dot, you win. I'll go on the date." Nodding in approval, Dot said "I thought so." Turning towards Wakko, she motioned to get rid of the film as Wakko dropped in back into his gag bag. Turning back to Yakko, she soon told him "Now get in the shower and get ready for your date." Yakko rolled his eyes before entering the bathroom. Pulling a white buttoned shirt and cologne out of her hammer space, Dot threw them into the bathroom and told him "And a buttoned shirt won't hurt either. Plus remember to use the cologne" before shutting the door.

A few moments later, Dot and Wakko walked into the living room where Minerva was looking through her phone and browsing on Twitter, as she muttered to herself "Animaniacs is getting rebooted in 2020, huh? Well, it's about time. Wonder if I'll be brought back." Turning to the screen, she announced "Again, not creative writing. That really happened." Noticing Wakko and Dot, she turned her phone off and got up, facing the two. "Well, it's about time" Minerva said, placing her hands on her hips before asking "What took so long?" Dot huffed before replying "It took some time to convince him to go on the date." Minerva raised an eyebrow before asking "You threatened to show him the movie, didn't you?" Dot nodded, before asking "How do you know about it?" In response, Minerva said "Oh, I know. If I know you Dot, then I know that to keep your brothers in line you'd do anything. That 'movie' included." Dot could only frown as the shower turned off. "Looks like he's almost ready." Dot announced, as Wakko grabbed Dot's arm and asked "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Before Dot could answer, Wakko dragged her to the other side of the room.

"Dot, are you sure we should do this?" Wakko asked in a whisper, as Dot replied "Wakko, in a way, they both need this." Wakko raised an eyebrow as Dot continued by whispering "Yakko hasn't been himself since the movie. He's more protective of us and less joyful than usual, & Minerva is so self-conceited she'll probably either die alone or eventually marry someone rich, then be taken advantage of." Concerned, Wakko whispers "Somehow, I don't think this will end will" as Dot quietly said "What's the worst that can happen?" Hearing the sound of a foot tapping on the ground, Wakko and Dot turn towards the source of it, seeing Minerva doing so impatiently. "So, if you two are done discussing this, is he ready or not?" At that moment, Yakko finally entered the room as everyone turned towards him.

"Well look at you" Dot said, noticing Yakko wearing his traditional brown slacks and a buttoned white shirt, as she could have sworn Minerva quietly whistle to herself. "Not bad" Minerva thinks to herself, adding "He cleans up rather well." Looking towards Minerva, Yakko took a moment to gulp before saying "Hi Minerva, long time no see. You're looking great." Giving a smile, Minerva decided to be playful as she said "Well hello Yakko, you haven't changed quite a bit. Nice shirt, by the way." Seeing Dot give Wakko a thumbs up, Yakko gave them a mean stare and thought to himself "First chance I get, I am SO going to get them back." Lost in thought, though, Yakko didn't notice as Minerva took a hold of one of Yakko's arms and ask "Well then, ready to go?" Yakko was instantly brought out of his train of thoughts as he saw Minerva smile and blink a few times. Feeling himself sweat, Yakko stuttered "S-sure." Minerva suddenly took a whiff of Yakko and said "You smell nice." Still a bit shocked, Yakko said "Thanks."

As Minerva lead Yakko to the door, Wakko announced "Have a good time you two, and stay out of trouble" as Yakko said in response "Funny, I was about to say the same to the two of you." Dot simply ignored him and said "Make sure you two come back at a reasonable time. Oh, and Yakko?" Looking at Dot, Yakko asked "Yes, Dot?" Giving him one of her playful smiles, Dot replied "Try to have some fun for once." Exiting the water tower, as Wakko slammed the door shut, Minerva soon turned to Yakko and asked "So, what did you have in mind first?" Yakko shrugged his shoulders and replied "Well, I've never been on a date before." Minerva raised an eyebrow, as if to say 'really?' To her surprise, Yakko actually nodded. "Wow, you've never been on a date? At all?" Minerva asked, only for Yakko to shake his head as he replied "Never. I'm always with my sibs, so dating was just a thing I never did." Giving him a sad smile, Minerva soon decided "How about lunch first? Then, we'll figure it out from there." Yakko simply shrugged and replied "Well, ok then, but ladies first." Minerva seemed confused at first, until Yakko pointed to the ladder. At that point, she realized it and thought to herself "I guess he's a little more of a gentleman after all."

As for Wakko and Dot, they high fived as Wakko exclaimed "I can't believe it, but it finally happened! It's a lazy day without Yakko." Dot, deciding to join in, added "Which means we can do whatever we want!" The two soon stopped and realized something "What do we do?" Dot asked, as they simply stood there for a moment before Wakko replied "How about we sneak into a movie?" Dot looked at Wakko while raising an eyebrow before asking "Really?" However, at that moment, Wakko took his hat off and pulled out a newspaper. Putting his hat back on, Wakko announced "How about an R-rated movie?" Dot, shocked, asked "Sneaking into an R-rated film? Without Yakko?" However, her 'shock' quickly brought a smile to her face before deciding "Let's do it!"

(Sometime later)

Minerva didn't know what exactly to think at this point.

Here she was, on a date, with Yakko Warner, at a local café shop.

Yet the weirdest thing about it wasn't the fact she knew about the history of the Warners and how 'zany' they were daily. The weirdest thing was that Yakko was actually behaving, yet seemed restrained.

And that was why it bothered her. This wasn't the Yakko she remembered.

It had to stop.

"Yakko?" Minerva asked, as she noticed Yakko simply picking on his meal. Looking at Minerva, Yakko simply stared at her, as she finally asked "What changed? You were never like this?" Yakko raised an eyebrow, as he said "I'm not that different. I'm just…" he stops, thinking to himself about the recent comments from Wakko, Dot and now her, before finally saying "…I'm just not as zany as before." Deciding to ask him again, Minerva asked "So, what changed?" as Yakko finally decided to tell her. "Did you know Plotz wanted to lock us away again for good?" He asked her, shocking Minerva as she covered her mouth while Yakko continued "We don't know what happened, but Plotz disappeared one day and next thing we knew, we were left with the entire studio but everyone was gone. It was just me and my sibs. They're all I have left, and the only way to protect them was to grow up." Minerva tilted her head and placed a had to her cheek, guessing "And since then, without anyone else around, you've acted more like an overprotective adult, huh?" Yakko frowned and nodded. "Yakko, I'm so sorry." Minerva pouted and decided to do something she never thought she would ever do: she placed a hand over Yakko's, and told him "I get that it's just been the 3 of you for a long time and I wish I had been around to visit every now and then, but maybe today I can make up for it." Looking up to see her face, Yakko could have sworn that for the first time in her life she actually was showing concern. Deciding to give her a small smile, Yakko finally decided "Ok, Minerva. I'll trust you."

(Meanwhile)

People began running out of the local movie theatre as the windows and front door exploded with mounds of popcorn as Wakko and Dot rode on surfboards out of the theatre. Laughing with glee, the two younger Warner siblings reached the ground and ran for it as the employees and manager began chasing after them.

It started off as simple as the Warners getting kicked out because they were too young to see the movie. Not willing to accept that, Wakko and Dot went in through the back and entered the movie theatre to see their first R-Rated film. Unfortunately, they made one simple mistake.

The movie they saw was "The Happytime Murders."

Within minutes, Wakko and Dot were exposed to language and puppet murders the likes of which would give anyone nightmares the likes of which were unfathomable. At first, they tried to persevere amid the gunfire and language. However, it didn't take long before Wakko and Dot finally had enough, over-filling the popcorn stands and cameras with so much popcorn and butter that they overfilled the concession stands and caused the entire movie theatre to evacuate.

Unfortunately for Wakko and Dot, they never got far as a large net suddenly fell over them, trapping the toons inside. "What the heck?" Dot exclaimed, as Wakko tried to get the net off only to feel completely weakened. Realizing something was off, Wakko announced "This net is toon proof. We can't escape." The two tried in vain to get it off but failed as a lone figure walked towards them and said "Lookie, I say, lookie here: Two new students!" Wakko and Dot were in shock as the lone figure proceeded to reach his hand over to them.

(Back to Yakko and Minerva)

With ice cream cones in their hands, Minerva began to laugh as she leaned on Yakko's right arm and asked "So you actually met Justin Bieber? What happened?" Giving her a playful wink, Yakko replied "Well, let's just say his fans were worse than his music. Then he called Dot 'Dottie' and we made him our special friend." Minerva turned to him as they entered a busy intersection and asked "Come on, Yakko. What was the real reason?" He shrugged his shoulders and replied "Well, ok. You got me. The real reason was he called Dot ugly." At that moment, Minerva shuddered. Many of the toons who worked on Animaniacs were well aware off Dot's issues with the words 'Dottie' and 'Ugly', especially when directed at her.

Crossing the street, the two came upon the same movie theatre from earlier and realized it was closed down due to the destruction from earlier. "Aw, shoot" Minerva pouted, before adding "There was this cute movie I wanted to catch." Shrugging her shoulders, she exclaimed "Oh well", as Yakko added "Looks like my sibs were here." Turning towards him, she asked "How do you know?" Yakko turned towards her and replied "I recognize their handiwork."

(An hour later)

As Yakko and Minerva found themselves in Minerva's forest, the two sat down on a hill to let their feet rest as Yakko turned towards her and said "Minerva, I wanted to thank you for today." Turning to meet him, Minerva smiled and said "Of course. To be honest, I had fun." The two simply smiled towards one another as Yakko's hand started to cover one of her own. As he did so, Minerva's hand began to cup his as her heart slowly began to beat faster. "I did too" Yakko said, beginning to tighten his hand with hers.

Unfortunately, her phone began to ring as Minerva whispered "Darn, not now" and used her other hand to answer. Noticing it was Dot's number, Minerva answered by asking "Hello?...Yes, we're having a great time….What?...How does that happen?...Are you serious?...Fine, I'll tell him but you now owe me one." Noticing Yakko getting a bit worried, Minerva told her "You guys are in so much trouble." Hanging up on Dot, Minerva told him "So, you're not gonna believe this, but Dot and Wakko are being held at some place called Acme Looniversity. Have you everheard of that place?" Yakko gulped before replying "Yea, I know of it. The fact my sibs are there isn't a good thing."

At that point, the two stood up as Yakko was forced to let Minerva's hand go, telling her "Sorry our date has to be cut short, but I gotta go get my sibs." Pouting, Minerva replied "Yea, I get it. Family comes first." Cracking a smile, Yakko soon asked "Before I go, quick question: Would you be willing to go on a second date in the nearby future? Say, next week?" To Yakko's surprise, Minerva went from pouting to giving him a playful smile, as she replied "Oh, I don't know. Let me think about it." What happened next would change their lives forever as Minerva calmly walked towards him and cupped his head with her hands while her tail wrapped around him. "Um, Minerva, I…" Yakko started but was cut off by Minerva's lips pressing against his.

Yakko couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't even breathe as Minerva's lips pressed against him, causing him to feel like putty in her hands. For what felt like an eternity yet in reality lasted not more than a minute, nothing else mattered as Minerva finally separated from him while unwrapping her tail. "Next week sounds great. My place okay with you next time?" Yakko, in shock, nodded as Minerva turned towards the direction of her home and playfully said "Until next time, Yakko. Take care." As such, Minerva began her short walk home while Yakko just stood there before realization kicked in.

Holy moley, did I just kiss Minerva? I did, didn't I? And I have a date? Next week?...

Oh right, WAKKO AND DOT NEED ME!

Snapping out of it, Yakko ran as fast as he could out of the woods and towards the streets as he began his trek towards Acme Looniversity.

Meanwhile, watching him leave, Minerva smiled and told herself "Best date ever" before entering her home and closing the door.

To Be Continued!

(Wheel of Morality Segment)

As the 3 Warners ran into the park, they skidded to a stop as Yakko announced "Hold on everyone, it's that time again." Looking at him, Wakko and Dot just had to ask:

"Is it time to make fun of cheesy movies?"

"Is it time to watch a marathon of Wonder Woman?"

Waiving his arms, Yakko replied "No, but I like those ideas. Anyway, it's time to learn today's lesson, and for that we bring out the Wheel of Morality." Going off camera, Yakko drags out a large wheel attached to a machine, as he spins the wheel and chants "Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn." The wheel soon stops at a 3, as a piece of paper comes out of the fax. Ripping the paper out, Yakko says "And the moral of today's story is: Dating can reveal surprising results." Surprised herself, Dot asks "Wow, that was an interesting one." Adding to that, Wakko said "At least it's something relevant." Yakko could only nod, as the sound of a familiar whistle was heard. "YIKES" All 3 yelled as they ran off with Ralph the Guard stopping to shake his fist before running off after them once more.
