Chapter 13: Determination Overdrive

Carrie started to become more distant from the Warner siblings, starting to feel homesick. She completely ignored the three as she passed by to go outside. "What's wrong with Carrie? She looks so.. out of it." Wakko asked his siblings, and Yakko spins into a doctors outfit, heading outside. Carrie turned to him and just blinked. "Yeah..?" "Dr. Yakko is on the case, I am here to check what's wrong." He then begins to examine her rather carefully. "Hmm.. Sluggishness, sad demeanor, lack of interest, fondness over home.. It sounds like you got a bad case of homesickness."

She holds onto herself, biting her tongue at the diagnosis. "Is it serious?" She gave a small laugh, playing along to the best of her ability. "Not at all, the feeling goes away when you ever feel the need to be happy about it." Yakko tells Carrie, and then ripped away the doctors outfit. "Thanks for trying to make me feel better about this, babydoll.. I just need some time alone." Dot peeked her head out of the logo door and scratched her head. "But you hate being alone." "And that's the point. I need some time to think." Carrie gets down from the water tower and sees Ralph coming for her. She stops him, stuffing him into a bag and swirling around before tossing him like a ball, sailing through the sky. "Wow.. I never knew Carrie had a good throwing arm." Wakko was surprised as he watched Ralph sail far away, but Yakko goes after her.

(Later)

Carrie sat out on the outskirts of the studio, tossing some little pebbles at a tree. Yakko finds her and then approached her slowly. "Hey, what's going on, sweets?" She immediately turns around and hugged him tightly, shuddering. "I'm trying so hard to fulfill my father's wish.. I.. I don't know if I can do it." He lifted her upwards, trying to understand everything. "You know it is not your fault. I guess we shouldn't have put so much on your shoulders. Look, if you're ready to go home, me and my sibs will support you every step of the way." She picked up her bag and began to turn around, but something in her mind immediately stopped her, and she turned back to the tower. Yakko got confused and asked her "Why do you hesitate?" To which Carrie responds with "I don't know.."

Yakko took the remote and pauses the scene. "Disney, you better forgive us for this bit. This is worth it!" Then he unpauses the scene and then began to go into song. "I know a girl from a lost cause, She stands apart from the crowd. She loves the sun and her new friends, She makes her whole family proud. Sometimes the world seems against you, The journey may leave a scar. But scars can heal and reveal just Where you are. The people you love will change you. The things you have learned will guide you, And nothing on earth can silence the quiet voice still inside you. And when that voice starts to whisper "Carrie, you've come so far." Carrie, listen.. Do you know who you are?"

Carrie slowly takes off her bag and tosses it, trash cans rattling and a cat screeching. "Who am I?" She knelt down as a magical wisp comes from her hands. "I am a girl who loves the studio, I'm the girl who loves my family.. They called me." She then makes visions with her mind and it shows the two everything they have all been through. "I am the protector of you three.. You are descended from ink and pen, you found your way right to my heart. You called me!" Then her father appears right before the two, and her demeanor began to change again, finally knowing her truth. "I've delivered us to where we are. I have journeyed farther! I am everything I've learned and more, still it calls me!" She then climbed onto the rocks, letting her truth consume her.

"But the call isn't out there at all! It's inside me! It's like the tide, always falling and rising!" Carrie goes and hugged her ghostly father. "I will carry your legacy on, you'll remind me! That come what may, "I know the way!!" Yes I am Carrie!!" Yakko takes her hand and they wave goodbye and the two run back to the tower together, ready to see what the future holds for them.
