Animaniacs Fan Fiction ❯ Wakko’s dilemma ❯ Chapter 1

On a rainy Saturday morning, the Warner siblings were watching a movie… that only Wakko wanted to watch.

Yakko groaned. "What even is this garbage?"

"Bee-nado." Wakko said.

"This stinks." Dot muttered. "It doesn't even have the Rock or Jason Statham."

"Careful, Dot, you don't want to fall into the stereotype of women watching any stupid movie as long as the guy is hot." Yakko said.

The power went out.

"No!" Wakko cried. He sobbed in his hands. "Chris Pratt was just about to wipe out the bees!"

Yakko smacked Wakko on the back. "Don't be so melodramatic. It'll be on resume, it's not like '90's cable."

Wakko immediately dried his tears. "Oh, right."

The siblings got up and raced over to the door. They opened it and stepped outside.

Yakko pulled out his phone and walked around the water tower's walkway.

The sun was shining and there was not a cloud in the sky.

"Why is the power out?" Dot asked. "It's beautiful outside."

Wakko quickly caught his hat that the wind nearly blew off of his head. "Could be because of the wind."

Dot looked around. "Where's Yakko?"

Yakko walked over to them.

"Where have you been?" Wakko asked.

"Bad news, sibs." Yakko said, putting his phone in his pocket. "The power won't be on for another four or five hours."

"Five hours?!" Dot and Wakko shrieked.

"I know, I know." Yakko said, resting his arms on the water tower rail. "I was told I shouldn't complain because we're not paying the electricity bills."

"Who's paying the bills anyway?" Dot asked.

Yakko shrugged. "Spielberg?"

Wakko shrugged. "Warner bros. or Hulu?"

"Forget that. How are we getting electricity in a water tower?" Yakko asked.

Wakko looked at his phone. "According to Tv tropes, it's rule of funny."

"Don't waste your phone battery." Yakko said.

Wakko put his phone away and sat down, dangling his legs off the ledge. "So why did the power go out?" He asked. "Is it the wind?"

"No, a stupid buzzard fried itself." Yakko replied.

Wakko furrowed his brow. "Didn't we have a deal with the buzzards?"

"No, that's pigeons." Yakko said.

Dot sat down beside Wakko. "So what do we do?"

Yakko angled himself to face his siblings. "That thing we've been dreading."

Dot and Wakko gasped.

Wakko shook his head. "You don't mean-"

Yakko nodded slowly. "I'm afraid so, sibs." He said. "So man up- or whatever. It's time for… chores."

Dot and Wakko screamed.

Two hours later, the Warner siblings collapsed on the couch and exhaled loudly.

"Wait." Yakko said. "You didn't make your bed, Wakko."

Wakko got up and stomped off to his bedroom.

Wakko started stretching the upper half of his bed's fitted sheet.

The lower half of the fitted sheet started coming undone.

Wakko glanced over his shoulder. "Ah, come on." He muttered. He turned around and started fixing the bottom half of the fitted sheet.

The upper half of the fitted sheet started coming undone.

Wakko noticed the upper half coming undone and reached to stop it with one hand while fixing the lower half.

The sheet rolled up and covered Wakko.

"Dot! Yakko!" Wakko cried.

Dot and Yakko rushed in and burst out laughing as they took pictures on their smartphone.

Wakko glared at them. "Stop laughing and get me out."

Yakko and Dot stopped laughing and walked over to Wakko.

"Y'know, this is the worst Christmas gift ever. Yakko said, smirking.

Dot and Yakko helped Wakko get out of the fitted sheet and helped him make his bed.

Another two hours later…

"I guess I'll take a shower while I wait for the power to come on." Wakko said.

Yakko and Dot glanced up from their game of Yahtzee.

"Okay." Yakko and Dot said.

Wakko headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He reached into the shower stall and turned the shower on.

Water sprayed all over the floor.

"Shoot!" Wakko muttered. He turned the shower head away from the entrance. He grabbed a towel off of a shelf and laid it on the floor, over the water.

He got into the shower stall and screamed.

Wakko fumbled with the faucet handles. "Too hot… too hot…."

Wakko finally turned the shower down to cold. "Too cold!" He screamed. He finally adjusted the shower to just right.

Yakko knocked on the door. "Wakko?"

Wakko groaned. "I'm fine; it's fine. Everything is fine."

"Stop quoting memes." Yakko said.

"I'm fine, really." Wakko called.

The power came back on.

"Yes!" Wakko, Yakko, and Dot cried.

Wakko finished his shower and raced into the living room. He dove onto the couch.

Yakko restarted the movie.

Dot sighed and headed to the bathroom. "I guess I'll take a shower too.

"Did you clean the bathroom? Yakko asked.

Dot screamed and marched out of the bathroom. "We need to add in an extra bathroom." She said. "It looks like Del Griffith has been in there."

"Sorry about that." Wakko said. "I- what? Ah, the bees won and are ruling the world."

"And Pinky and the Brain was behind it." Yakko said. "There's a plot twist."
