Chapter 19: Smile for Lauren Warner-Nelson

After the meeting was adjourned, Lauren decided to stay back and give any further ideas that they missed. It was just her and Nora there in the room. "So Ms. Norita, I think we should add in some songs here and there, and maybe give in some messages about mental health since it's rarely talked about in cartoons today." Nora listened to Lauren as she wrote it down on a piece of paper. "What kind of songs would you want specifically? Cheery, maybe a bit of serious tones in it too?" "Oh yes. In fact, I think I can give an example of it now." Lauren gave an uplifting grin as the scene transitions to her walking outside of the ACME Looniversity campus, and she begins to sing a cheery song.

"I'm Lauren Warner-Nelson!" She turns to Buster, giving a wave. "Hello! And I am here to say.." Lauren looked over to Babs and waved to her as well. "How you doing?" She moved over a tree where Bugs was trying to get some sun. "I'm gonna make you smile, and I will brighten up your day. It doesn't matter now-" Lauren picked up her baby sister Cassidy and looked at her sad face. "What's up?" "If you are sad or blue.. Howdy!" Lauren makes a funny face for Cassidy as she gives her a piggyback ride. "Cause cheering up my friends and family is what I should do. Cause I love to make them smile, smile smile. Yes I do. It fills my heart with sunshine all the while, yes it does! Cause all I really need is a smile, smile, smile from the happy friends of mine."

Then the scene goes over to her and Dot playing jump rope in the local park. "I love to see you grin! Awesome!" Carrie comes in as well, hopping along. "I love to see you beam. Rock on!" Lauren pulls Yakko and Wakko in and they all began to jump rope together. "The corners of your mouth turned up is always Lauren's dream. Hands up!" Lauren sees a frowning Mindy without a partner and she walked over to her, giving her a little boost as she jump ropes with her. "But if you're kind of worried, and your face has made a frown, I'll work real hard and do my best to turn your sad frown upside down."

"Cause I love to see you grin, grin, grin. Yes I do! So bust it out from ear to ear, let it begin." Lauren helps out Pinky and paint something he was working on, but with their own twist on things. "Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin, and you'll fill up with good cheer." Then the scene goes dark as one spotlight stays on Lauren. "It's true some days are dark and lonely, and maybe you feel sad, but Lauren will be there to show you that it isn't that bad." Then the color comes back as Lauren beams up again. "There's one thing that makes me happy, and makes my whole life worthwhile. And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile." Then Carrie drives a float down the studio lot, passing by people on the way.

"I really am so happy! Your smile fills me with glee. I give a smile, I get a smile, And that's so special to me! Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam. Yes I do! Tell me what more can I say to make you see.. That I do? It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam. Yes it always makes my day!" Lauren then pointed out to the crowd of cartoons, studio hands, and Nora who were all watching this go down, saying. "Come on, you all know the words!" And she began to sing for them so that they know what to say "Come on everyone now! Smile, smile, smile! Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile from these happy friends of mine!" The crowd joins in on the song, repeating what Lauren sang to them. "Come on everyone now! Smile, smile, smile! Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile from these happy friends of mine!"

Everyone came together in a circle continuing the chorus while Lauren sang her own thing. "Yes the perfect gift for me is a smile as wide a mile! To make me happy as can be!" She spins around, looking to the sky as her and the crowd finish up the song. "Smile! Smile! Smile!! Smile!! Smile!!! Come on and smile! Come on and smile!" After the song, it cuts back to Lauren with her hands on the table and Nora giving a small smile. "So what do you think Ms. Norita?" "I.. I'm not even disappointed by this kind of idea for once.. I'm speechless. Okay, you got it. I will add in songs just like that." Nora shakes Lauren's hand and she heads out the door, meeting up with her mother.
