Acme Falls-Present Day


As Hello Nurse walked to Dot's hospital room, she could hear her arguing with Yakko; they were audible from down the hall.

"Come on, just admit it," Dot was saying. "You fell for it!"

"Did not."

"You said my acting lessons finally paid off."

"Hey, remember, I gave you those lessons. Of course I knew it was an act."

It certainly fooled me, Miss Nurse thought as Dot sarcastically replied, "Sure you did." Miss Nurse braced herself and entered the room.

"HELLO NURSE!"

"Hello, Yakko. Hello Dot; how are you?"

"Cuter than ever!" Dot said cheerfully.

"Good. Yakko, Dr. Scratchansniff has something for you. Follow me, please."

Yakko was more than happy to comply. Dot shook her head in annoyance and continued admiring her new "cutie mark" in the mirror until Wakko arrived with a grocery bag.

"What did you buy?"

"Burgers at the butcher's, blintzes at the baker's..."

"Okay, enough of that," Dot said with an impatient wave of her hand. "What's a blintz, anyway?"

"It's a kind of pancake," said Wakko. He gave one to her. "Here, they're good."

Dot tried the blintz, but it wasn't fluffy enough for her taste. She put it down. "Eh, it's okay."

"Are you going to finish it?" Wakko asked hungrily.

Dot rolled her eyes and returned to admiring her reflection.


In Dr. Scratchansniff's office, Yakko stared silently at the birth certificates in his hands. He sniffled.

"Are you alright, Yakko?" Scratchy asked.

"Wh-oh, yeah," Yakko said quickly. "It's just that weird salt-and-vinegar smell gettin' to me."


As Wakko continued snacking and Dot began to wonder whether her cutie mark would have looked better on her other cheek, Yakko came back.

"Sibs, you'll never believe what I've got!"

"Try us," said Dot. "We're gullible."

Wakko sniffed the air. "Salt-and-vinegar chips?"

"Better than that!" said Yakko. "Much better..."
