(Fade in on Captain Caps' room, since repaired and redone from the "Commentary Version" of HYAWLC. Caps enters the picture, reading a magazine with Kylie Minogue on the cover)

Captain Caps: Oh, how do you do? It's your old lunatic writer Captain Caps. Now several years ago, I entered work on a chainlink fanfic where Yakko and Wakko fall in love with the same girl. Romey and a long-since-left writer named "The Cute One" also worked on it. Cutie came up with the story and we tried to give it a go, but nothing worked. Now, I'm bringing forth a new "Animaniacs" romance chainlink. There's nothing hardcore or graphic in this fanfic...it's a light, airy, marshmallow wisp of a thing. I must lay down these rules: No evil babies, no media magnates, and no super-powered villains, drug dealer's daughters, cannibals or genetic scientists looking to kill the Warners, mutate the mice or steal holidays. This is a personality-based fanfic. Oh, and NO TWO PLACES AT ONCE and NO RIGHT-BEHIND-THEM.

(Enter Yakko, Wakko and Dot)

Yakko: None of that? None of the things our reading audience has come to expect from these tales?

Wakko: Gee, I guess if we have none of that, we have no fanfic at all.

Dot: Really? Vacation time! Universal Studios, anyone?

Caps: Not so fast...If you do this fanfic, it'll be worth your while! Yakko, Wakko, you like women, right?

Yakko: You bet! (Producing a picture of Paulina Porizkova) Hello, How-come-she-ended-up-with-that-black-haired-sunglasses-wearing-guy-from-The Cars Nurse!

Dot: That was wordy!

Caps: Dot, you like men, right?

Dot: Absolutely! Did you see Mel on the Oscars? What a handsome man! I was rooting for Peter Jackson to win, though! I mean, Opie got it?

Caps: Well, in this fanfic, romance is the name of the game, and you, the Warner siblings are the players. Now, without further ado...

(Fade in to the current Warner logo with the "As Time Goes By" fanfare, as Caps announces)

Caps: (V.O) And now, from Warner Brothers and the WBC Story Board, Yakko, Wakko and Dot in a great romantic tale...hopefully!

(Fade in to the Warner lot. As the usual mix of celebs from the 90s episodes meet the newer stars of after the "Animaniacs" run, we see the fanfic title)

"IN LOVE AND WARNERS"

(Pan up to the tower. Yakko, Wakko and Dot are reading various newspapers while having breakfast, Wakko eating the most, of course)

Dot: It says the weather's going to warm and sunny for the next two weeks. What say we leave the tower and take a vacation to the shore?

Yakko: (Flatly) Eh, why not? We'll probably just meet up with Stewie or Hannibal or Gene Splicer or The Circle or Bill Gates, and then gain a cast big enough to make me blow my brains out with that pistol Yosemite Sam gave me.

Dot: Well, Little Murray Sunshine, what's gotten into you?

Yakko: I'll tell you what it is...I'm lonely. I've had an incredibly tough time of it. I'm in my 70s, but I'm trapped in a 6-year-old's body. I need someone to see me on the inside and not the outside. I have familial love, but I need the romantic kind. The thing is that no one on the lot bats an eyelash towards me. I mean, do you honestly think that Hello Nurse would give me a shot?

Wakko: Yakko has a point. I've been feeling a tad lonely myself. The pinups from the magazines...How many of them will I ever meet?

Dot: Well, "Moulin Rouge" says that "The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn Is Just To Love And Be Loved In Return".

Yakko: In that case...

Yakko, Wakko and Dot: We need an education!

(The siblings start scouring the want ads, as we fade in to an apartment on the other side of town. In the shadows, an attractive woman in her 30s is being slapped around by her boyfriend)

Woman: You've been drinking again, haven't you?

Man: Yeah, I have. What's it to you, (bleep)?

Woman: You don't need to pollute yourself this way, Ricky.

Ricky: Yeah, Marlene? Well, I do. The bottle is my life. It's the one I talk to late at night when no one gives a (bleep).

Marlene: I could talk to you if you gave me a chance! Look, if you're this way, it's time to make a decision. Me or Miller? Love or Labatt's? A babe or a Budweiser?

(Ricky pauses a moment, then reaches his conclusion)

Ricky: Pack your stuff, and be out of here in a hour! I don't need you, ya filthy (bleep)!

(Marlene starts gathering her stuff and leaves in tears. We can see a tag saying that she's an employee of Warner Brothers Coastal Amusements, an AOL-Time Warner company. Fade back to the tower)

Yakko: No luck! We've called every number, and they're all outdated and taken. Dot, let's hit the coast!

(PICK UP HERE...ANYONE)

(We see Yakko, Wakko and Dot getting in a regular-sized car with mechanisms so that Dot can drive. We also see Marlene and what she looks like outside of the shadows. She's a platinum-blonde with a ponytail in the back and a rat-tail on the side. The music playing as they all leave town is "People Like Us" by Talking Heads)

Yakko: (Reading an issue of "Variety") Check out this headline-"Foul-Mouthed Whiz Heads Back to Dis".

Wakko: You mean Axel's working for D*sney again?

Yakko: Yeah, in some project based on "Haunted Mansion". Okay, I can understand the animation thing, but this is live-action. I wonder what he has to say for himself.

(Fade to the shore. Axel's sipping a non-alcoholic Pina Colada)

Axel: Why did I sign back up with them? I mean...it's nice that they forgave me and all, but let's not cut corners here. I really (bleep)ed that mouse up. Aaah, who am I to complain? Hey, Garcon, another drink...and put in a (bleep)ing umbrella this time, OK?

(Cut back to the car. Yakko glances out the window, seeing various fast-food stops. Right then, a nice-looking Ferrari pulls up alongside the Warner's vehicle. Yakko takes a look outside, and sees Marlene. He signals to her to roll down her window as they come to an intersection)

Yakko: Hello Nurse! Wow, you look beautiful!

Marlene: (Bashfully) Thank you! Hey, I know you...you're that 'toon from "Animaniacs". Where are you going?

Yakko: Me and the sibs are headed to the shore! You?

Marlene: The same. Maybe I can meet you there!

Yakko: Sounds good to me! See you at the shore! Wait, what's your name?

(The cars move forward)

Marlene: My name is Marlene! You know, like Dietrich!

Yakko: (To himself) What a nice name! (To Marlene) See you soon!

(Yakko speaks to Wakko and Dot)

Yakko: Guys, this vacation will be great!

Wakko: Um, guys, I have to use the facilities! Is there a McDonalds nearby?

Dot: NO! (She says this even as they are stuck in traffic near one) If you're going, we're headed for a KFC! They've got those spicy strips that you like, Wakko!

Wakko: Alright...I'm getting tired of M*ckeyD's anyway!

Dot: (Flatly) Oh, that's too bad. (A thought balloon pops up above her head. A big parade commences as a McDonalds is imploded. Dot then thinks in a V.O) One down, billions and billions more to go...

(PICK UP HERE...IF YOU WANT TO)

(The Warners have made it to the shore. Pulling into their hotel, they bring out several containers full of KFC chicken, their suitcases and some cases of Diet Coke. On the motel's speaker system, we can hear the song "She's On The Zoom" by Don Henley)

Yakko: Well, gang, here's our home-away-from-tower for the next 2 weeks. Free issues of Variety...free in-room movies...this is a pretty decent place!

(Cut to the inside of the hotel. The Warners are making their room comfortable)

Wakko: So, what movie do we want to watch?

Dot: "Conspiracy Theory"!

Wakko: (Sheepishly) How about "Nurse Nina"?

Yakko: Naw...let's watch "Back To The Future"!

(Pan to the next room. Marlene is just catching some Zs, and relaxing as much as an abused woman can)

Marlene: He won't find me here. If he does, maybe that handsome Yakko fellow will drop an anvil on that dirt sandwich. Either way, I think I'll be cool for a while.

(Axel knocks on the Warner's door)

Warners: Who is it?

Axel: It's your old buddy Axel!

(The Warners let him in)

Warners: (Sarcastically) When you wish upon a star/Makes no difference who you are/Anything your heart desires will come...to...(Sung off-key) YOOOOUUUU!

Axel: Oh, shut the (bleep) up! Look, they offered me some good money to come back to the studio for a live-action piece. Look at it this way...I'm raising money for my 2004 re-election campaign, and I gotta do what I've always done in my career...make movies. I'm just waiting for those Paramount (bleep)s to come by with money for "Beverly Hills Cop 4".

Yakko: If that ever happened, it would make "Beverly Hills Cop III" look like the first one!

Axel: Hardy-(bleep)ing-har-har, Yakko! So, what brings you are?

Wakko: A vacation and the hopes of picking up women. Yakko already has his eyes on someone named Marlene.

Yakko: I just wonder where she is...

(I'll pick up here soon if no one else does)
