It happened that Kendra's dad was a professional animator, who made his living as part of a team, drawing characters for kid's shows on
Saturday mornings, at least, that's what he USUALLY drew them for.
Once, when Kendra was 5, she asked her dad were her mom was, since she'd never met her, or even knew what she looked like.
He told Kendra that one day, while he was drawing for a certain movie, he got very lonely, so he drew, inked, and colored the perfect woman
for himself. To this day, he STILL had no idea how or WHY it happened, but as soon as he finished drawing his masterpiece, kissed it, and put it
back down on the table, she (his drawing) came to life, jumping out of the paper, growing to proper size, and gave him a big, wet, toony kiss
right on the lips, as if to thank him for drawing her!
One thing led to another, and before long, they were married, and that toon woman got pregnant, and gave birth to a perfectly normal baby
girl, which was Kendra.
The mom stayed with them for a while, nursing her baby, but due to "that pesky age law" as Kendra's dad called it (for while her mom was
physically 28 with an over-perfect body, she was still only 1 year and 9 months old from the time she'd been drawn), and because toons don't
age or die (unless the plot calls for it), she was forced by the California State Government to divorce her husband and creator, leaving with a
broken heart to live in the Toon World.
Before she left, she asked him to promise to take good care of her daughter since she wouldn't be able to, and he did.
So she left in her animated red ferrari, with tears streaming down her face from those big, yet sensitive toon eyes, and drove into the sunset -
LITERALLY, and no one in the human world had seen or heard from her since - not even in movies or TV.
At the time, Kendra believed her dad since she was only 5, and prone to believe anything at that age, but when she got older, Kendra had
convinced herself that her dad had made the whole thing up - just so he wouldn't look like the "bad guy" for dumping her mom.
"If my mom really WAS a toon like you said," she'd rationalized with him once "then wouldn't that make me half-toon?"
Her dad said he'd always wondered that about her too, and they dropped the subject for a while.
Then, on the 18th birthday, it happened: as she took in a deep breath to blow out the candles on her cake, she blew up like a balloon!
She looked scared, so her dad told her to blow, and she blew out the candles, but also blew them off - along with the frosting, the cake, and
the entire table!
Her father dodged just before the table crashed into the wall, and when he looked at her, all he saw was her clothes in a pile on her chair.
He thought he'd lost her, but when he heard a tiny voice call out for help from under her shirt, he reached in, and pulled out a tiny little toon
mouse, covered in thick, pink fur (so nothing could be seen), but with the hairstyle, and body shape (though it now was an exaggerated super-
model body) of his daughter - in fact it WAS her!
She was very scared, and asked what they were going to do, so putting an air-pump into her mouth, he blew her up until she popped!
He then threw the her clothes into the pink dust cloud made by the explosion, and when it cleared, there Kendra stood - back to normal, with
all her clothes on, but still a bit shaken from the ordeal.
At first, they shrugged it off as a freak thing that would never happen again, but the next day, as she ate her breakfast, she turned into a toon
pig in a polka-dot dress! She reached into her backpack, grabbed out of it a giant mallet, and smacked herself flat with it. When her dad
removed the mallet, she sprang back up, and was normal - as if it never happened, and the mallet vanished.
The next day, when she passed gas, a huge skunk tail exploded out the back off her pants, just as she was about to leave for school!
Her dad helped her push it back in, only to have her nose grow into a pink elephant trunk!
After they pushed THAT back in, her ears popped into long, pink rabbit ears!
Then after THOSE were pushed back in, her feet stretched into kangaroo feet!
In the end, her dad had to call in sick for her, and so she missed school that day.
She tickled her feet back to normal, but her laughter turned her into a toon hyena that couldn't stop laughing, so her dad poured a buck of cold
water over her, and she returned to normal.
Now she was REALLY scared, and was starting to believe her mom was a toon after all!
So that night, her mom came to her though a hole that appeared in the floor of her bedroom.
Somehow, Kendra knew it was her, and when she asked her how she knew to come, she lovingly said "Because I'm your mother, and I just knew
because I did - toons don't operate on the same logic as people, but toons don't need logic - they just need to make people laugh and
entertain them - that's why we we're made, dear."
"You left me!" Kendra shouted.
"Didn't your dad explain why?" She asked.
"Yes." Kendra replied.
"Then you know I had no choice." she lamented "I did't WANT to leave you - those stiff-shirts in the C.A. government MADE me leave! Don't you
understand that?"
"I do," Kendra replied, a bit calmer "but what I DON'T get is why I keep 'tooning-out' all the time!"
"Because your toon half is only NOW starting to make itself known." she replied.
"Can't I stop it?" Kendra pleaded.
"Yes you can," her mom said "but only if you remember to smile and be happy - otherwise your toon side will keep coming out, because toons
aren't meant to be down and sad - they're meant to be happy and silly!" and she fluttered her long eyelashes at her daughter while smiling
gently.
"So as long as I start the day in a good mood, I'll be fine?" Kendra asked.
"Yes dear," her mom answered, shifting her oversize hips "and remember - since you're half toon, you can use your toon abilities any time you
want! However, since you're half human you won't live forever. Sure if something happens like getting shot, crushed, sliced, if you fall, or if
anything else like that happens that would kill a normal person, you'll survive and never look like a mess that isn't "G-rated", but you'll still die
of old age. In fact, the only way to stop yourself from aging, and dying THAT way, is to embrace the toon within. If you do, you'll shed off your
human self, and be a full toon like me - in fact, since I'm your mom, you'll look just LIKE me, but obviously younger so no one will get
confused"
"Will my breasts be THAT big and my hips THAT wide?" Kendra asked, looking at her mom's unreal figure (not quite Jessica Rabbit, but almost)!
"Only if you WANT them to be, dear." She said, giggling a bit at it "I'd think about it though, since there's a catch to IT too."
"It WOULD be hard to find clothes that fit!" Kendra said smiling.
"Not THAT, silly!" her mom said, giggling before becoming as sober as she could (which has never easy for her) "If you choose to be a toon,
you'll be immortal and ageless, but all the friends and family you know who aren't full toons will all die someday, leaving you all alone, and I
don't want that - not for my little ray of sunshine!" She wiped a tear from her left eye, which made a loud splash on the floor, and continued
"To make matters worse, you'd have to leave to live in the world of toons, because toons aren't allowed to live here, and real people can't live
there - it's one of the biggies that keeps the two in balance!"
"Then how can you be here if that's true?" Kendra asked.
"Because as soon as I realized what was happening with you," her mom explained "I popped in to visit those government meanies that made me
leave in the first place, explained myself, and after going through tons of red tape," she said, peeling some literal red tape off the back of her
dress "we reached an agreement: I'm allowed to visit you once each day for 1 hour, and likewise, your allowed to visit ME each day for an hour,
but these two hours must not be closer than 12 hours, for example if I visit you at 6 A.M., you won't be allowed to visit me until 6 P.M. or any
time afterward on the same day. Do you understand everything now?"
"Yes." Kendra said "It's a lot to take in all at once."
"Speaking of that," her mom said, looking at a watch on her left wrist, which clearly wasn't there before "my hour for today is up, so I have to
go now."
"Oh, mom." Kendra said, crying. The 2 hugged eachother, with Kendra's face in her mom's oversized breasts, and as she patted her daughter
gently on the head. "I know," she said to Kendra "I wish it wasn't this way either, but I promise I'll keep coming back to visit every day until you
die, or go toon all the way, and if you choose that, you're always welcome to come live with me."
And with that, the animated woman walked back down the hole in the floor she came out of, stopping only once to turn, blow a kiss to her
daughter that landed with an audible "smooch" sound on her right cheek, remind Kendra to always start the day in a good mood so she
wouldn't "toon-out" again, and kept walking down, with the hole closing behind her.
This brings us to the present morning. Kendra had been fine sine then, with no more random toon transformations because she always
remembered to start the day in a good mood.
This morning however, she'd forgotten to do so, due to being humiliated by Kelly and all the other popular girls at a party last night!
So when she was in her algebra II class, and when she stabbed her right hand with her compass by mistake, and when she saw her wounded
hand start to swell to toonish proportions, it hit her - she'd forgotten to start the day off right, and now she was paying for it!
She raised her still-normal-size hand, asked to use the restroom, got permission, and since the hall was empty, ran at a toonish speed towards
the girl's bathroom.
When she got there, the dust from her run settled, and looking in the mirror, she was now a toon fox girl, with pink fur, a white underbelly,
blue eyes with lashes 2 inches long, oversize breasts and hips, purple hair with a big, green bow on top, and a backless, green, sparkling dress.
"Well at least I look good this time," she said in a seductive voice "but now what? I can't let anyone see me like this!" And what disturbed her the
most, was that even when she'd said this, her voice STILL sounded seductive!
As she stood there, thinking of what to do, and if she should show herself to a cute guy or not, suddenly.....
