THE APARTMENT
The weasels were now standing in front of a door with a small glass window. On it it said, in bold letters, "THE OFFICE".
The leader knocked. No answer.
"Knock harder, Boss," Greasy suggested.
The leader knocked harder.
"Who is it?" a low, graveley voice asked from the other side of the door.
"We're here to buy the apartment," the leader told the voice.
The door swung open and there a short, bald man stood. "Oh, well, howdy-" he now took a good look at his buyers. His eyes widened and his eyebrows rose with surprise.
The leader's eyes narrowed. He cocked one eyebrow. "Yes?"
The bald man stopped staring. He looked sheepish. "I, uh.... Sorry, I just didn't expect you to be..."
"Weasels," Wheezy finnished for him.
"Well, ok. Let's get down to business."
"It would be nice if we could do that inside." The leader remarked rudely. His allies snickered.
The bald man looked embarressed. He moved to the side and held out his arm. "After you."
The weasels, with the leader first, marched into the bald man's office. The bald man shut the door and sat in a cushioned chair behind a desk. "Please, take a seat."
There was only 3 chairs, so the leader took the first for himself. Greasy had to share with Wheezy. Psycho shared with Stupid. Stupid took up about 75% of the entire seat. Psycho had to sit on the edge. He had an uneasy face on.
"You are the first willing to buy this apartment. But it seems odd not to get one in Toon Town-?"
"Yeah, yeah, we know. Just tell me what the price is," the leader said.
"50 cents a month."
"We'll take it!" the leader anounced.
"Ok. Sign here." The bald man handed him a peice of paper and a pen. The leader signed it and handed it back to the bald man. The bald man looked at it. His eyebrows rose.
"Uh, thanks, Mr..... Smart Ass."
The leader, Smart Ass, took a wallet out of his right pocket. "How much was the first month again?"
The bald man reached over his desk and put his hand on Smart Ass's hand to stop him. "The first months free." He grinned. "My treat."
He took his hand off Smart Ass's, who put back his wallet.
"Um-hmm, thanks." He stuck out his hand. "The key?"
"Oh! Right! The key.... Where'd I put the key?" The bald man checked his pockets. Then he checked under the piled of papers on his desk. Under one pile was a shiny object. The bald man grabbed it and gave it to Smart Ass, who stuck it in his right pocket. Smart Ass got up to leave. The others were glad to get up, too, after being smushed together.
"I'll be going now. See you around, baldy."
"Uh... Bye," the bald man said, as if he didn't hear Smart Ass's insult.
Smart Ass and his companions walked out of the door. Smart Ass was about to shut it.
"Uh, don't slam the-" the bald man started, but it was too late. BANG!!! The door slammed so hard, there were cracks in the walls around it. ".....Never mind."
Smart Ass held up the key, making it glimmer in the sun. "This is the answer to our problem."
"Yeah, now all we have to do is get a job." Greasy said sarcasticly.
"Excuse me?"
"Well, I mean, who's gonna hire a bunch of weasels? We're goners. We'll be kicked out before you know it. From the look of his face, that guy'd be more than happy to get rid of us." Greasy pointed out.
"Yeah, whatever. I'm sure we'll find somethin'." Smart Ass turned to go and rammed right into a wooden pole. His nose throbbed in the classic Toon style. His buddies burst into laughter. One look from Smart Ass's cold eyes made them shutup. Smart Ass turned to look at what he smacked into. He noticed a poster on the pole and he ripped it off.
"'Special workers needed. Must be more than one person/Toon. Must be slick and skilled at using guns and other weapons. Visit Doom at 3355 Gingerbread Lane for more information.'" Smart Ass read out loud. He and everyone except Stupid grinned.
"Duh, I don't get it," Stupid anounced.
"Get in the van, we're going to Gingerbread Lane." Smart Ass and all but one of his companions followed him. Stupid stayed behind.
"I still don't get it," he said and then ran off, yelling, "WAIT FOR ME!!!!" and "STOP!! I'M STILL BACK HERE!!!"
In a few moments the black van drove off with Greasy in the driver's seat.
