Friends
WRITTEN ON; 2/21/2021
It was a nice day in Burbank California. A fifteen year old Cartoon by the name of Steven Quartz Warner. and He lives next to Warner Bros studios.
Inside the home. He was up in his bedroom studying his lines. His MacBook Pro was opened and paused to an SML movie titled "SML Movie:Cody's new friend." When he heard from Lance Thirtyacre that they got a cease and desist letter from Nintendo that he can't use the plushies anymore. He wasn't mad. He was happy. That way the cast and crew can experiment.
His red iPhone 12 starts ringing on the table. He picked it up and it was his best friend. Victor.
"Hey Vic." He said.
Victor Johnson was his best friend for eleven years. Soon going to be twelve in March. They did everything together.
Steven met Victor at Burbank Middle school and high school. Everyone in Highschool teared him like garbage because he was a cartoon character. An outcast. One day Victor found him crying in one of the bathroom stalls. He was about to call for one of the teachers. But he refused and opened the door.
They sat on the bathroom floor talking for almost an hour about how he felt like garbage, an outcast. A "threat to society" that's what his dad's old boss told the Warner's when he was still CEO. And he heard it all. He was only nine. Like who says that when a little kid is in the room?!
"Hey Warner, what's up?" Victor asked.
"Hey Vic. How's the justice league?" He joked. Victor laughed. One of his jokes was that his best friend was in the justice league because he's named after the famous Teen Titan, Victor Stone.
"It's good homie. What's up? I called because me Ryan. Danny and Jimmy are going to the Arcade in Hollywood."
"Dude! You know what's going on right now?! We're in the middle of a pandemic!"
It's true. After a year. They were in 2021 still living in the coronavirus pandemic, He was so freaked out, that he didn't go to work for months. Channing Dungey understands this fully. She loves the Warner's if they were her own children.
"You need to chill the heck out with this pandemic stuff my guy. Getting out of the house for a few hours isn't gonna kill you, I remember the first day of filming you went insane. You snuck into the Janitor's closet on set. Grabbed wipes and started wiping down the camera equipment. The director wasn't happy."
He sighed."Dude don't remind me... and somehow that went viral on TikTok! And how'd it even make it on there in the first place!"
"Maybe aliens are in the studio."
"Yo. Are you okay? Did you hit your head while playing Pokémon Sword?" He laughed.
"Okay man. Are you coming or not?"
"Yes, yes, chill! When I'm done with my lines and memorized them."
"Dude. It's gonna take all night. You can study tomorrow. When's the practice run?"
"This Thursday."
"Oof. Dude you can hang out with us for a little while. Come on man. Please! For us!" He smiled and shook his head. Man his friend can be a real butthole sometimes but he's his butthole.
"Okay okay. I'll come ya jerk." He joked.
Victor laughed at his best friend.
"Cool, cool. See you in thirty."
He hung up.
Steven got up and went to his closet and picked out a pair of Jean shorts and Blink-182 t shirt. He put them on and he grabbed his red Air Force ones and put them on. He grabbed his earbuds and his iPhone. Put them into the lightning port and put them in his ears. He grabbed his Tony Hawk skateboard sitting by his black electric guitar that his uncle Wakko bought him for his birthday last year.
He grabbed his Pokémon wallet and cap with a Pokéball on it. Puts it backwards and opens the door to his bedroom.
He walked down the hall. The walls were covered with memorabilia from Warner Bros. It was actually very cool. He saw a picture that caught his attention. It was a black and white photo of Warner Brothers Studios from the 1920s.
He saw a piece of paper in a frame. It was a contract his dad had igned back in 1992, and their was a new framed paper of his contract that he signed back in 2019.
Then his dad sighed a third contract with Warner Bros. And Hulu for the reboot.
Steven went downstairs and saw the glass doors to his dad's office were closed. He gripped the metal handle with a furry hand and opened it.
His dad was on his iMac. He didn't look up at him.
He was probably busy. He walked up to his desk Wich had the large WB shield on it.
"Hey dad." He said. His father. Yakko Warner. Was the nicest guy you could ever meet for an actor. Sure he has money but when it comes to his son he comes first. He never wants anything to happen to his son. Even if it's a car accident and he looses blood. He'll donate some. He doesn't care.
Yakko looks up and smiles.
"Hey my boi.." Yakko said in his cheery voice.
He smiled and hugs him. Then their black cat. Named Peepee suck walked in and meowed.
"Hey Peepee suck what doin!" The boy kneels down and pets his cat. Yakko laughed. That has to be the most funniest name to give a cat! He and his son both agreed on naming their cat that because In one of the SuperMarioLogan videos, Jeffy's pet he named his hamster Peepee suck. And they died laughing when they heard it. So, why not?
Yakko Warner's Wife. Shai Warner passed away last year due to a plane crash coming from Colorado back to LAX. When Yakko got the call, his heart sank. He was devastated.
Yakko couldn't even get up for weeks. For that period of time, all he's been doing was, sit in his bedroom and listening to sad rock music. But he heard it and he downloaded all the music to his Apple Music. From Puddle of Mudd to Green Day.
"Do you have a mask?" Yakko told his son.
"Yes." He took it out of his pocket and held up his Wonder Woman mask that his favorite actress, Gal Gadot gave him when he met her on the studio lot. He still couldn't believe that he met favorite actress! He also took a picture of them on his Instagram. Which, like his dad. Had a blue check next to his name.
"Do you have your bus pass?" Yakko asked.
"Yes, but I'm not using the bus. I'm riding my board." He said holding his Tony Hawk skateboard under his arm.
"Alright. Be careful." Yakko smiles and hugs him tight then kissed him on the cheek. He held him close. Hearing his heartbeat. The warmth of his body heat, fur, or both. He lets go of him and smiles.
"Dad. You look tired. You should get some sleep." He said looking at his face.
"No, no. I'm okay." Yakko took a 5-hour energy.
"Dad, you know that stuff's not good for you. I'll get you your gummy vitamins at the store after hanging out with my friends here. You should take a break"
He pulled him down to a nice white couch sitting in the right side of his office. Yakko laid down. He was about to pass out right there.
He walked out of the room. His shoes making sounds on the hardwood floors of his office. He came back with a pillow and a Mario blanket.
He handed them to him."Here dad."
Yakko smiled."Thanks. How did I get so lucky to have a son like you?" He smiles.
"I don't know... maybe it's the Warner family luck." He joked.
"Get some rest." He said, putting on his other earbud on. He opened the door to his office. Closing the light on the way out. Looking at his dad one last time, then he walked out of the room.
He opened the door to his house. Closed it and started skating down Hollywood.
He put his foot off the board to get more speed. Then he did an Ollie
Ten minutes later. He was there. He met up with his friends.
"Eyyyyyy! There's Warner!" Victor said. Steven stopped his skateboard. And met up with his friends.
"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late, me and my dad were talking."
"It's cool dude. Let's go in."
Ryan said taking off his sunglasses. They went inside. They were going into a Dave & Buster's. They went up the stairs and got their cards. They ran around the arcade playing games.
They went to play games.
"Hey guys we should-"
"HEY IT'S THAT WARNER KID!"
Before they could do anything a swarm of kids and teens were crowing around him. Asking for pictures and for autographs. And he did just that.
"Thank you Steven " A boy said and he hugged him. He liked getting hugged by fans. He loves his fans a lot. He even opens fan mail with his dad.
"Hey!" He said.
"Can I get a picture?" He asked.
He took out his iPhone and took a picture with the boy.
"I like your cartoons." He said.
"Thank you. That makes me happy to hear." Steven hugs the boy.
They all disappeared one by one after pictures and autographs with the famous Warner were over.
"Okay. Let's play some games Doc." Danny said doing his best Bugs Bunny impression.
Steven laughs.
"Eh! What's up doc!" They all laugh.
"Dang that's funny!"
"Let's go play! What are we standing here like a bunch of burnt chicken nuggets for?!" Jimmy asked.
Ryan and Danny nodded and walked off to play games.
They did the same.
After they finished, they went to the large prize room.
Steven gasped and saw it. A Pokémon first edition booster box!
"GIMMIE HAVE IT!" They all laughed.
"Quartz that's 2,100 points! We don't have that many."
"Let's go to the guy who does the tickets and check all of ours." Danny said.
They went up to the front desk. Steven first noticed the Warner ears. They walked up to the desk. A man that looked a lot like him. Smiled.
"Ello. How can I help you boys?" He had a scarce accent just like Wakko's, but thicker. Almost British.
"Hi... um. Harry." Yakko said. Awkwardness in his voice.
"Cards please."
"Oh right. Here you go." Yakko said handing him all five game cards
"Would you like to put them together or separate them?" Harry asked.
"What do you guys want to do. Because I want that freaking base set box! There's probably a Charazard inside it!" Steven exclaimed.
"Dude are you NUTS! No! We can go to Target and get us some sword and shield!"
"Okay... um..."
He went back to the prizes and saw a grey Animaniacs hoodie. And it costed half the points of the booster box.
He went to grab it but it was too high.
"Hey guys give me a boost!" He called to his three friends.
"No no. Guys!" Harry said, he ran over to them.
"Guys don't injure yourselves. I can get it."
He then got the jacket for him using a latter.
"Here you go mate." He said handing him the jacket.
"Thanks Harry!" He smiled at him.
They cashed in their points. They wanted to save them up next time they came back. They went out of the arcade.
"Hey guys let's go to Steve's house." Jimmy said.
"Please. Please for the love of Arceus don't call me that again." He laughed.
"Okay okay. Let's take an Uber and go to his place." Victor said.
"Dude we have- oh yeah I forgot you don't have your board." Jimmy said. They got an Uber. The man pulls up.
"Hi are you Steven Warner?" The man said.
"Yeah." He said putting his skateboard in the front seat and getting in.
"I've never knew I'd be transporting a Cartoon Star. Of Warner Bros." He smiles.
He puts on his seatbelt and then they drove off.
"So. Mr Warner." The driver. Luis said.
"Please just Steven. It makes me sound old." Luis laughed.
"Sure Steven. So... you don't have a car?" Luis asked.
"No, I don't drive. I board though." He said, gesturing his skateboard by his legs.
"Oh that's cool Amigo."
"How old are you?" Luis asked.
"I'm sixteen." He said.
"Oh! I read your article about you on twitter. It said that you got made fun of a lot and you attempted to end your life in the studio lot."
This, was true. The bullying got so bad. It even escalated to online. One night, he woke up in a cold sweat. The boy who bullies him back in High school told him to go to the water tower and jump off. And it was a hundred foot drop! He sat their hands in his face. He tried not to cry. But he couldn't do it. He sat their, legs to his chest he decided to grab his electric guitar and go upstairs to his Uncle's studio, he opens the door, then he turns on the lights.
The recoding studio was large. He went to a small room and picked up a pair of beats and put them on his head. He saw a blue electric guitar. Then he played.
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble, then I crawl
All the pain, anxiety, fear, and adrenaline was fading away. This helped him calm down a lot. Music always helps him calm down. When he had a bad day at school. He listened to music. When he had a bad filming day. He always listens to music. When his mother passed. He always listened to music. Music cleansed him.
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doin'
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
Everyone is changing
There's no one left that's real
So make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble, then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Oh
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to run away
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to run away
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away?
Can you take it all away?
Well, you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
No!
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all?
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
He was now clear of his thoughts. Man, that meds him feel so much better. He checked the time. It was almost four in the morning. He then went back upstairs and went to his room. Then went to bed.
He was jolted out of his thoughts he was at a red light. Then, he saw a Walgreens. He remembers that he had to pick something up. He asked Luis to stop the car and keep it running. He told His friends to stay in the car. He had to buy something for his father. He walked inside and went to the isle that he needs. He got two bottles, one for him and one for his dad.
He decided to do some shopping while he's here. But then again. He can skate to Walgreens later today and get the stuff that he needs for the house. His dad does most of the shopping. But the studio has been working the poor man to the bone. At least he was giving him a break. But, he'd had to go to Publix. He walked to the cashier and set the two bottles down.
She looks at him. She was a brown haired human with a flower mask on her face.
"Hello. Find everything okay?" She asked.
"Yes. Thank you." He said.
"Hey are you Steven Quartz Warner?"
"Yes. I am!"
"Oh. You look like a copy of him. An exact copy." The woman said.
"I get that a lot." He blew a kiss.
"Goodnight everybody!"
She laughs. "My son and I see your Vlogs and your TikToks all the time. You pulling pranks on the actors at Warner bros." She laughed.
"Yeah. Oh. You want my TikTok?" He asked.
"Yes! Can you please follow my son? He's a huge fan of your shows and movies." She said.
"I can do that now. What's your sons name? On TikTok I mean."
"Oh, his name is Pokemon_Fan_1931." She said.
"Okay..." he found his TikTok.
"Is it this?" He held up his iPhone with a picture of a pikachu as his profile.
"Yea that's him." The woman said.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Me. I'm Jordan." She said shaking his furred hand.
He was smiling so much that he didn't notice that his tail was wagging back and fourth.
The woman blushed.
"awwwww that's so cute!"
"Huh?" He asked.
"Your little tail was wagging!" She said.
"Oh!" His face was red. Thank Arceus he has a mask on.
"Um... I'm sorry. I do that when I'm... really happy." He blushed under his mask.
One awkward encounter with the Walgreens cashier later, he ran back to the Uber as fast as he could. Then they went back home.
"Here you go amigos." Luis said as he stops at his place.
"ありがとう!" He said in Japanese.
"That means thanks in Japanese. And here's something." Steven gave him $200.00.
"¡muchas gracias! ¡Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia!"
(thank you so much! god bless you and your family!) Luis said in shock.
"No problem man. Oh and your on TikTok too."
"This kid has blessed me. Thank you so much. The Warner's are very good people!" Luis told the camera.
They get out of the Uber and they went to the front door. He opened the door. His friends still couldn't believe that he lives here! And the coolest thing is that he has memorabilia from Warner Bros!
"Hang on guys. I'm gonna check on my dad."
They nodded and went across the room to his office. He opened glass door. The lights were still off. He was probably still asleep. Then the phone rang. He ran to the desk. Then grabbed the phone with at was sitting on the side.
"Hello? Warner household. This is Steven Quartz Warner speaking."
"Hey buddy? Can you put your father on the line?" It was Channing Dungey.
"I need him to come to the studio lot tomorrow."
"Okay Channing. What for exactly?" He asked rolling him towards the iMac and putting in the password for his father's computer. Then he saw his wallpaper. It was of the legendary Pokémon Zaptos.
He went to his calendar, then typed the event.
"Oh. The President's in Burbank. And he really wants to have an interview with Yakko. He already had his with Wakko and Dot. But he needs to do his interview." Channing said.
"Alright." He said typing.
"Anything else?" He asked.
"No Steven. Thank you." Channing told him.
"No problem. I'll give him the memo."
"Wait what time is the interview?" He asked.
"It's at eleven o clock. A.M." Channing said.
"Okay thanks Channing."
He put the phone back on the hook.
He looked at his desk. And saw two picture frames. He picks it up and looks at it. It was his dad with his mom, he sighed and looked at it more. She was a beautiful woman with brown hair and a model like body. She was wearing business attire. She was a business woman. Next to her was his dad, Yakko Warner. And he couldn't be any happier.
Shai Warner was also smart. No wonder why his dad fell in love with her. And to this day, he still loves her. He sighed and touched the picture with his hand.
"I wish you were here mom..." he sighed.
He got up and went to the main hall. He went to the kitchen. The kitchen was large and open spaced. It had a large island in the middle of the kitchen. White cabinets filled it with metal handles. The fridge was a nice stainless steel. He saw a battery pack on the counter. His dads iPhone 12 was on the charger. He opens it. He has the same background as his computer. He put in his passcode and he went to his calendar to put the reminder.
He thought what they would have for dinner tonight. He has the perfect idea. He's seen it everywhere on his FYP on TikTok. He got out tomatoes and feta cheese. Then he went to the pantry to grab the spaghetti.
"HEY! SOMEONE TOUCH A MY SPAGET!" Victor yelled.
Yakko laughed.
"Can you get a pot for the pasta. I'm cutting up the tomatoes." Yakko said.
"Okay." He went into the drawer. And grabbed a large pot. He puts it in the sink and fills it with water.
"Hey guys." Jimmy said.
"Oh Jimmy good. Can you help us."
"Okay." Jimmy said.
"Okay go into the fridge and grab lemon, butter and garlic."
"Okie dokie." He grabbed the three ingredients.
"Okay. You got the stove on?"
"Yeah."
The water starts to boil. He put the pasta in there and stored it.
"How's the sauce coming a-"
"WOCKY SLUSH!" Victor said. Steven laughed hard.
"Oh man!"
"WOCKY SLUSH!" All five boys said laughing.
Then his cat came.
"Hey Peepee Suck!" Ryan said petting his cat.
"Hey do you wanna see my pet?" Danny asked "pretending" to be Dot.
"No heck no! Don't bring that out a-"
he jump scared him
Steven screamed.
"Did you just scream like a girl?" They all laughed historically.
"Oh shut up!" Steven said opening the "whine cooler." It wasn't really a whine cooler it was just there to hold sodas and water.
He grabbed a can of Coke Zero. Opens it and drank it.
He took the tomatoes out of the oven. They strained the pasta and puts it into the glass baking dish.
"HUUUUUUUUU PUT IT IN MY BOWL DADDY!" Victor said.
Steven laughed.
"Guys shut the heck up! My dads asleep! Remember?"
"Maybe he isn't."
"I'll go check." He ran to the living room and ran upstairs. He went down to the end of the hall to a large door. He grabbed the knob and opened it.
The room was larger then his own. (Because his was a master bedroom) it had a large bed in the middle of the room. A bookcase was pressed against the wall with his favorite books on it. Diary Of a wimpy Kid. A few history books., and two Pokemon books. One on the evolutions and one of their autonomy a book of their family history was seen on the nightstand. On the right side. He had a large desk with a gaming computer for Twitch streams.
He also had a Nintendo switch next to his computer. He also had a laptop that he takes with him to the studio that was sitting on the desk charging. He had two ring lights for his videos on TikTok.
His ears perked up. He herd water running. He was probably in the shower.
Steven also noticed a giant love sack in the corner next to his bookshelf. That was his "reading corner"
He heard the water stop. A few minutes later. He opened the door. He had a towel on.
"Oh hey!" Yakko said.
"Hello." He waved.
"How are you feeling?"
"Much better." Yakko said. He went into his closet and grabbed a pair of boxers and put them on. Then he grabbed a pair of shorts then he put on a Lakers Jersey, with his favorite player, Kobe Bryant.
He sadly passed away last year due to a helicopter crash. And it was his Anniversary twenty-three days ago.
He was at the studio that day. He was in a very good mood. He actually sighed the contract with Warner Bros again for the reboot.
Then... Channing called him. At ten A.M. Wakko was crying his eyes out in Channing's office. Dot was sad, but not as upset as the boys were.
Last year wasn't good for any of them to say the least.
They both walked out of the room.
Yakko walked downstairs.
"Oh yeah dad. I made dinner."
He smiled. "Thank you so much. That's one less thing to do tonight."
He beamed.
"No problem Daddo!" He said, referencing Wakko.
Yakko laughed. He's been watching waaaaaay too much of his show.
He went downstairs and saw six plates out. Ryan put them on the table. With forks and knives.
"Hi Mr Warner!" The boys said.
"Hi guys." Yakko smiled and sat down.
"Okay you ready to taste the best TikTok pasta on this earth?" Ryan asked holding the baking dish and grabbing tongues
Ryan puts some on each of their plates.
"Do you guys want sodas?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah." They all said. He brought out a six pack of Coke Zero for the table. And they all took a can. Yakko didn't need the glass. He drank it straight out of the can.
"My dad's drinking it outta the can. Like a savage!" He said. His friends laughed at that.
"Don't be suspicious don't be suspicious Don't be suspicious don't be suspicious Don't be suspicious don't be suspicious!" The boys sang. Like in that one vine.
"Yasssss! That vine!" Ryan said.
"Bye guys! It was fun." Yakko said.
"Hey dude, I'm going live on Instagram tomorrow. Would you like to join me?" Victor asked.
"Heck yes!" He high fives him and gave him a hug.
"See ya man. If your going to the studio tomorrow then call me."
"Doubt it. But I do have to study my lines. For Thursday." Steven said.
"Oh yeah right. When's the episode coming out?"
"Saturday. We can all watch it here when it comes out."
"Faboo! Sounds fun!" Ryan said. Steven laughed.
"See ya dude."
"Later." And with that. He closed the door. And went to the kitchen to clean up. When he was finished. He went upstairs to his bedroom and took a warm shower. When he was done, he was about to study his lines. But he looked at his iPhone and it was almost eleven P.M. so he decided to study tomorrow. He crawled into bed and fell asleep.
