There Rene was, looking up at Helen, and realizing all too late that she'd made a horrible mistake!
"How should I kill you, Rene?" Helen asked her, menacingly "Should I fry you? Crush you? Eat you? Or maybe I'll just take that soaker of yours,
and find out if I can make myself even MORE powerful?"
Then, thinking fast, Rene smiled and shouted "Hey Drake! What do you think of 'Miss Popular' NOW?"
"Drake?!" Helen said, panicking, then turned around fast. "I swear Drake," she said "this isn't what it looks like! I was just ... " She stopped when
she saw he wasn't there! Then she turned back to face Rene, only to find a fox-girl-shaped white cloud being blown away. "I can't believe I fell
for that!!!" she said, as she smacked her hand on her face. "Now you're gonna get it!!!" and she ran at full speed after Rene.
As Rene ran, she saw Helen gaining on her, so acting fast, she pulled a banana out of an invisible pocket on her skirt, peeled it, ate it, and
tossed it over her shoulder. By the time Helen knew what Rene did, she'd stepped on it and started sliding down the street!
Rene dodged her, and Helen could be heard shouting "You've gotta be kidding me! This joke so oooooold!"
"But effective!" Rene happily shouted after Helen, as the dragon slid down the street, swerved around the corner, and out of sight.
"I wonder if she'll remember she has wings and can fly away?" Rene thought out loud, and upon saying this, a large crash could be heard off-
screen, sounding like a car-wreck, and a piano being destroyed. "Whoops!" Rene said, smiling "I guess not! Now on the the next item on my to-
do list - Here I come, Drake!" and with that, she pulled a hole out of nowhere, threw it on the ground, and cannonballed right in, laughing all
the way as it closed up behind her.
Up on the rooftop, 2 cloaked figures (anime characters btw) had watched the whole thing - A woman with a nice body, but but an evil look, and
a short, bald, fat man with blank eyes, and a bulbous nose.
"It looks like everything is in place now for the next part of the plan." the woman said.
"That dragon looked so big and juicy, Lust!" the man said to his partner "Can I eat her?"
"No Gluttony." Lust said "We have to convince her we're on her side by helping her get back at the fox, so we need her alive - for now. You'd
know that if you'd paid attention to the plan!"
"Sorry." Gluttony said sadly "I'm just so hungry!"
"You already ate that duck-woman yesterday," Lust said "so don't complain. Speaking of which, I thought Envy's act as her was very convincing
- had Rene playing right into our hands, and even gave her that water gun, so at least ONE of my comrades remembers the plan!"
Gluttony started drooling an erie green substance.
(Author's note: If you've seen "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit", then you know that DIP is the only thing that kills toons, so that's why Gluttony
used it to eat his poor victim. The reason why it didn't kill him is because he's a homunculus, and besides that, due to the vast culture
difference between Western cartoons and Japanese anime, it has no affect on anime characters at all. And due to more cartoons today being
made of digital imaging as opposed to paint, it won't work on newer toons, so it won't affect Rene or Helen since they became digitally-colored
toons. Ever since the technology could be used, and since the "Judge Doom" incident of 1947, the management of Toon World fixed it so that
any human who becomes a toon, on purpose or otherwise, would be digitally colored, to act as a safeguard, should the now-illeagal and
outlawed substance ever get smuggled in somehow. Gluttony though, could kill and eat ANYONE, and the DIP he had in the limitless storage
space in his stomach guaranteed it. So while getting part of their bodies bitten off wouldn't kill or hurt them, and DIP would have no affect, if
they got bitten by Gluttony WITH the DIP in his mouth, it would be fatal! And if you're wondering how they got the DIP, the had an Alchemist
make it for them by transmuting the basic matter needed to make it. This alchemist, btw, is non-canon, so they aren't any you'd know from
official FMA media. This alchemist is still alive, and is the brain behind this evil plot, filling the same role as Dante did in the 2003 anime, and
Father in the manga and 2009 anime. In addition to the 7 original homunculus, they transmuted the remains of a certain villain into a new one
called "Doom", His body is all black like the Gate Children, and just as featureless save for the anime-angled eyes with blood-red irises and slit
pupils, the evil smile with sharp teeth, and the mark of the ouroboros on the left side of his neck. Doom has a high-pitched helium voice, all
the memories of the one from whom he was made, and all the cruelty, insanity, and powers that go with them - buzz-saws, missiles, ect. He
wears a white tux and long white pants. Doom obeys the alchemist only because they carry the remains within an amulet worn around their
neck at all times. The name of the alchemist, what they lost due to equivalent exchange, and their exact plan will be revealed in time. For now,
back to the story - sorry for the long explanation.)
"Careful with that, you fool!" Lust scolded, and he sucked it back in. "That DIP was very hard to get a hold of," Lust reminded him "and the last
thing we need is unnecessary property damage, so save it for the next toon you eat, understand?"
"Yes Lust," Gluttony said apologetically "but when?"
"I'll tell you when." Lust assured him "In the meantime, let's meet up with Envy at the spot we agreed on, and go offer our help to Helen. She's
an amateur at being a villain, so she shouldn't refuse help from professionals. Those two girls have no idea they're being used by us. I almost
feel sorry for our clueless puppets - well, ALMOST!" And at this, Gluttony gave an evil maniacal grin, reveling his many teeth as he looked down
at the street below. The two homunculi then moved swiftly, but silently across the rooftops to meet Envy, who looked like a young teen guy
(though his short, sleeveless top, his exposed midsection, his shorts, and his voice, made it hard to tell if he was a HE at all), with long, spiky
green hair, and a black headband.
"About time you two got here!" Envy said "I had to climb up here as King Louie just to avoid prying eyes. You KNOW how much I hate posing as
beatniks!"
"Well it's done now," Lust said "so let's go."
"Right." Envy said, with an evil smile "Time to reel in that clueless diva-turned-dragon with our song-and-dance routine! I love this part of the
job!"
So they left to find Helen, with hopes of baiting her with revenge on Rene.
Meanwhile, Drake and Jack had finished lunch, and were walking down another street.
"I'm telling you Drake," Jack said "toon chicks are EASY!"
"And I keep telling YOU," Drake said, very annoyed at him "that there's only ONE girl for me!" He was referring to Rene, but never told Jack so.
"But haven't you seen these toon girls?" Jack insisted "They're HOT, and they practically THROW themselves at nice guys like you!"
"I told you I'm not interested in girls who are animated," Drake said "because 1: for all I know, they could be older than my grandma, or
younger than my cousin's baby, and 2: most of them aren't even human - they're furries!"
"But dating a furry girl is every guy's dream," Jack said "and have you seen the size of their assets? With some, you could fit an apple in the
space between their -" "CUT IT OUT, JACK!!!" Drake shouted, with open arms "You're such a pervert, and besides, I know we're in Toon Town,
but we STILL have to be real about this - even if I was interested, it's not like some random toon girl is gonna pop out of nowhere, and jump
right into my arms!" And just as Drake said that, right on cue, a hole opened up in front of them, Rene jumped out of it, and landed in Drake's
open arms!
"Quick!" Jack said, smiling "Now say 'It's not like my best friend just won the lottery!' - COME ON, say it, PLEASE SAY IT!!!"
Drake was very confused as he looked at the purple and pink, toon fox-girl he was holding in his arms.
"Hi Drake!" she said smiling, in a voice he recognized.
"Rene?" Drake asked, surprised but happy "Is that you?"
"Eee-hee-hee-hee! Of course it's me!" she said smiling, and adjusting her rose-tinted glasses "Who were you expecting, Helen? I just gave her
the slip - literally!"
"Is she alright?" Drake asked, not all that concerned about Helen in the first place, since she was so stuck-up.
"Yes." Rene answered, smiling "She's a toon dragon rip-off of Maleficent's dragon form, so since toons can't die or be killed, she'll be fine - I'm
sorry to say! Eee-hee!"
"But how did you two become toons?" Drake asked as he gently put her down on her feet.
"A nice new toon friend I met felt sorry for me after I told her how Helen was treating me," she explained "so she whacked me with a giant
mallet, and turned me into THIS!"
"She turned you into a fox-girl?" Drake asked, still confused "Well," she said smiling, and twirling her long, red hair with her finger "I wouldn't
say she TURNED me into this - more like she brought out the real me! I've always been a beautiful toon vixen on the inside - I was just too
scared to show it, but not anymore, and I'm glad!"
"Then how'd Helen transform?" Drake asked "My new friend gave me THIS!" she happily exclaimed, as she pulled out the water gun from an
invisible pocket on her red miniskirt "It's filled with toon water that has no effect on toons, but turns normal humans into their inner furries, so
that they can't hide what they are anymore, or how they feel about others!"
She stood next to Drake, smiling seductively at him, and polishing her toonifying weapon. "Becoming a toon felt great, Drake." she said
seductively to him "It set me free. Would you like me to set YOU free? I'd love to see what YOU'D look like - not that I don't like how you look
NOW, but would you like to experience this anyway? I love you, so I'll only do it if you want it."
"I'm not sure." He said "Is there a way to turn back?"
"After you transform," she said lovingly "you may not WANT to - I know I don't. Do you like me like this?"
"I've always liked you, Rene." He said, smiling "You didn't have to do this."
"You've ALWAYS liked me?" she said, as her big, beautiful, blue eyes lit up "Why?"
"Because you're not like any other girl I've met." he told her "You're smart, kind, and always know the right thing to say to others. I guess I was
afraid of how people would react if they knew."
"Oooookaaaaay." Jack said, smiling "This just got really awkward, soooo I'm gonna go somewhere else now before this gets any better - just
don't stay out after 10 at night, ok? Later!" And with that, Jack left them alone, wondering if he should use this in one of his standup routines.
Ignoring Jack, Rene asked Drake seductively "Do you really think I'm smart?"
"Like a fox!" he said, chuckling a bit at his own joke "Sorry - I've been with Jack too long!"
"It's ok." she said smiling "I'm a fox now, aren't I? Do you still like me now, though?"
"Yes," he said "I know it's you, and besides, you said you love me, right?"
"Eee-hee-hee!" she laughed "That DID sorta slip out, didn't it?"
"Well then I love you too." he said smiling warmly, and she smiled back with her fox ears wiggling a bit.
"So now that we've both got some free-time," she said happily "what do you wanna do with it? Go to the park? See a movie? Go on a ride? Do
you want me to turn you into a furry toon like myself with this water gun, or would you like me to transform you with a kiss instead? Or
perhaps since you're trying to become a professional animator, you could practice drawing with me as your model, and if you want me to take
my clothes off, I don't mind, since I'm covered in all this thick fur, and I've lost all my modesty and embarrassment anyway. Don't worry though
- I promise things won't get too 'PG-13' if you don't want them to. What will it be Drake, my love?"
After thinking about it, he decides happily, but what does he want?
What would you like to see?
