Chapter 16: Getting Ready for a proposal.

It's a beautiful day in the studio. Suddenly people began to get all excited. Rumors were spreading that Lauren was finally getting engaged to Hamton. Everyone was talking. Studio hands, executives, even the family themselves. Cassidy stood on the balcony of the water tower and began to write in a book of congratulations to her big sister. Then she began to sing. "Hey sis, he's a lucky guy. I'm like gonna cry, I got tears comin' out of my nose! Mad props! He's the movies catch, You're a perfect match. Cause you both got such great taste in clothes. Of course he will propose!" Cassidy passed the book off to Carrie and she began to write in it too.

"Lauren, baby , honey mazel tov, Future's taking off. Bring that ring back and show it to me!" Carrie smiles and passed it down to Babs Bunny. "Four carats, a princess cut, Are you psyched or what? I just wish I could be there to see.." "When he gets down on one knee!" The three sang together before all of the Tiny toons come together in excitement. "Omigod! Omigod you guys, Looks like Lauren's gonna win the prize! If there ever was a perfect couple, this one qualifies. Omigod you guys! Omigod this is happening, Our own looniversity Queen and King. Finally she'll be trying on a huge engagement ring for size, Omigod you guys! Omigod!"

They all get into the tower and Carrie dialed up Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. "Shut up, Lauren?" Yakko asked. Wakko looked surprised. "Shut up, Hamton?!" Dot began bouncing around. "Shut up! ENGAGED?! OH MY GOD!!" The three made it into the tower and closed the door. Shirley got to counting heads. "Okay, everybody signed. Good now form a line, and we'll start the engagement parade." Heloise got everyone in line for the parade. "Light candles in single file. Don't forget to smile." She looked at Elmyra chewing gum and tapped her shoulder "Lose the gum sweetie. you look like the maid." Elmyra giggled and tucked it behind her ear. "Sorry!" "Now prepare to serenade!"

"Shhh!" Carrie shushes as they tiptoed to her room. "Omigod! Omigod you guys, Looks like Lauren's gonna win the prize!" Everyone got loud as they tiptoed and Carrie had to shush them again. "Shh!" "If there ever was a perfect couple this one quali-" "Shh!" "Omigod!" Everyone cheered as Carrie shouts "Guys I'm serious!" "Lauren and Hamton were meant to be!" Babs sighs dreamily and then laughed. "And Not once ever has he hit on me!" Cassidy snapped her lips shut with a clothespin. "Shut up!" Dot changes the scene to a beautiful ship, like the titanic. "They're just like that couple from Titanic, Only no one dies! Omigod!"

Wakko cleared his throat and counted for everyone. "2, 3, 4." Then the girls began to sing with pride a melody they made up in case someone in the family got engaged. "Daughter of Warners through. Soon to be fiance, Now that a man chose you, Your life begins today. Make him a happy home, Waste not his hard-earned wage. And so he does not roam, Strive not to look your age! Still in your hour of need, Let it be understood no man can supersede, Our sacred bond of familyhood!! Omigod! Omigod you guy-" As everyone jumped around, Carrie opened the door to her bedroom, only to see there was no one inside. She slammed it shut. "Guys, shes not here."

Everyone groaned and complained that they did this for almost nothing. Then Arfroid came in and jumped into Cassidy's arms. "Arfroid, where is Lauren?" She asked while he barked. "She doesn't have an engagement outfit?" Everyone put their hands to their chest. "She is totally freaking out?" Everyone gasped before he barked again. "She's trapped in Burbank Center Mill?!" Dot fainted after hearing this before Arfroid shook his head. Cassidy leaned in and listened. "Oh, woops, sorry.. Burbank Center Mall!!"

Everyone scrambled for the exit and headed down the ladder together. "Omigod! Guys emergency!" Carrie waved to everyone as they began heading for the mall. "Hey!! Don't take the freeway!" Crakko was Walking at this point and he waved to them and could speak more than two to three words at a time. "Hey, wait for me!" Carrie caught him as he slid down a slide. "No one should be left alone to dress And to accessorize. Omigod you guys!" She ran with Crakko in her arms as the two caught up with the group. "Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! Omigod!"

At the mall, Lauren was in the dress section. She had on a red dress that had white fur bits on it. And a cute belt. She looked at herself in the mirror. It did look nice, but it just wasn't it.

"Hmm.. It's almost there but.. This dress needs to seal the deal, Make a grown toon kneel. But it can't come right out and say 'bride'. Can't look like I'm desperate, Or like I'm waiting for it. I gotta leave Hamton his pride, So bride is more implied." The girls rushed inside and Cassidy pointed her out. "There she is!" Lauren hugged her mom and her siblings. "Omigod! Omigod you guys! All this week I've had butterflies. Every time he looks at me its totally proposal eyes! Omigod you guys!" The girls grabbed onto dress racks and began running through what would be perfect for a proposal. "So help me dress for my fairy tale, Can't wear something I bought on sale." Carrie nodded and held Yakko's hand. "Love is like forever, This is no time to economize. Omigod you guys!"

As everyone talked, Minerva took off a sales tag from a dress she had in her hands. "Us Toons make commissions so easy." She walked up to Lauren and then got her attention. "Excuse me miss, have you seen this? It just came in. It's perfect for a toon like you."

"Oh Right, with a half lip stitch on China silk?" Lauren inquired to know more details as Minerva nodded. "Uh-huh." "But the thing is, you cant use a Half lip stitch on China silk, it'll pucker. And you didn't just get this in cause I saw it in last May's Vogue." Everyone turned to see Lauren catch Minerva in the lie she told. "Omigod! Omigod you guys.." Lauren puts it back on the rack. "I'm not about to buy last years dress at this years price." "Lauren saw right through that sales girls lies." Lauren stood disappointed. "It may be perfect for a
Toon, but I'm not that kind of Toon. I may be in love, But I'm not stupid, lady I've got eyes."

Suddenly, Fifi comes rushing in with a different dress. After hearing the commotion, of course. "Omigod! Lauren Warner, our miztake. Minerva, take your break. Just ignore her she hasn't been well." She pulled out a beautiful red cocktail dress for Lauren. "Try zhis latest from Milan, go on try it on. I take care of my best, through and through. Its a gift from me to You!" Every covered Lauren as she spun into the cocktail dress and she turned to look at herself in the mirror.

"Omigod! Omigod you guys! This ones perfect, and its just my size! See dreams really do come true you never have to compromise. Omigod!" All the girls jumped up and down in excitement as Yakko and Wakko took the picture. "Omigod! Omigod you guys! Let's go home before some one cries! If there ever was a perfect couple this one qualifies, Cause we love you guys." They got back to the tower as Lauren wiped a tear from her face. "No, I love you guys!" They all lined up on the stairs that were set up. "Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! You guys!" They passed the congratulations book up to Lauren as they squealed out "Omigod!" Before Lauren held the book up in the air as the song ended.
