Dot Warner ruins Thanksgiving

In the living room of the Comeau house, Hokey Wolf was attempting to make a fire with a pair of bellows. His pet firefly, Ray, entered to remind him.

"That's no way to light a fire!" said Ray, "Where's your kindling?"

"This thing's gonna be going anytime now." said Hokey, as Mrs. Brisby, Olivia Flaversham, and Tanya Mousekewitz entered the living room, as well.

"Even a caveman could start a fire." said Tanya.

"D'oh!" said Hokey.

Suddenly, Hokey, Ray, Mrs. Brisby, Olivia, and Tanya heard Hokey's wife, Queen Arianna, calling from the dining room. "Dinner! Dinnertime, everybody!" she called in a singsong voice, "Dinner!"

Then Hokey stopped lighting a fire with the bellows, put them down, and came into the dining room. "Oh, thank goodness!" he said.

Once everyone was at the table, Arianna called her son, Young Baloo, to come into the dining room next. "OK, Baloo!" she said, "We're ready for your centerpiece!"

Then Young Baloo came into the dining room, holding a three-dimensional centerpiece of a cornucopia, pilgrims, Thanksgiving food, real life turkeys, and Native American Indians. Hokey, Arianna, Ray, Mrs. Brisby, Olivia, and Tanya were impressed at Baloo's work of art.

"Baloo, my goodness!" gasped Arianna, "That's very impressive!"

"Holy moly!" Hokey exclaimed, "That's the biggest work of art I've ever seen!"

"We always said she was gifted." said Mrs. Brisby.

"Definitely from our side of the family." replied Olivia.

"How long did that take you, honey?" Tanya asked her nephew.

"I couldn't tell you how many hours, days, weeks, or months," said Baloo. "It was the labor of love towards those I hold dear, especially my girlfriend, Sunni Gummi, and my friends, Louie, Bagheera, Shere Khan, Hathi, and Kaa. It's our homage to some American heroes who may not have fought in any wars, but who never...."

It was then that Baloo's sister, Dot Warner, was last to come into the dining room, singing the 1982 fanfare from the MGM/UA Home Video logo. She was holding an enormous roast turkey.

"Speaking of heroes, here's mine: Tom Turkey!" smiled Hokey, holding up a fork and carving knife while chuckling.

"Oh, yikes!" exclaimed Dot in disgust, "What is that?"

"It's the centerpiece, Dot." said Baloo.

"Well, it's taking up so much space!" complained Dot, elbowing Baloo's centerpiece.

"Hey, Dot!" Baloo cried, "Stop it!"

"Move it or lose it, bear!"

"Mama!"

"Now just a minute. I'm sure there's room for both." said Arianna.

At that moment, Baloo and Dot got into a tug-of-war with the centerpiece.

"Dot, you're wrecking it; let go!" shouted Baloo, "My girlfriend, my friends, and I worked forever on this!"

Hokey, Arianna, Ray, Mrs. Brisby, Olivia, and Tanya watched the whole conflict between Baloo and Dot without saying a word. And with that, Dot tossed Baloo's centerpiece into the burning fireplace and smiled cruelly at her brother.

Baloo screamed in terror when he saw his creation burn.

"Hey, that got him going!" smirked Ray.

"Ditchin'!" exclaimed Dot.

Baloo grabbed a poker and tried to fish the creation out of the fire, but it was burned down to nothing but a complete pile of ashes. That's when Baloo got furious! "DOT!!!" he shouted. He tackled Dot and started biting her, pulling her ears, and punching her in the face, almost knocking over the stuff on the table. "You don't even care! You don't even care!"

Hokey and Arianna broke up the fight by pulling their daughter and son away and restraining them. Then Baloo escaped from Arianna, ran to his room in tears, where his girlfriend, Sunni Gummi; and his friends, Prince Louie, Young Bagheera, Young Shere Khan, Young Hathi, and Young Kaa, were waiting for him, and slammed the door.

Hokey angrily put Dot down, and he confronted her. "All right, Dot! That's it!" he shouted angrily, "Go to your room! Now!"

Dot played dumb. "Ok, I'll take some white meat and stuffing to go. And send up the pumpkin pie in about twenty minutes."

"I said now!" snarled Hokey.

"Mom, do I have to?" asked Dot.

"Yes, you do!" Arianna scolded a guilty Dot, "I hope you're happy, Dot Warner! You've ruined Thanksgiving!!"

Dot became very angry. She glared angrily at Hokey and Arianna and yelled, "You two are as evil as King Salazar!" And she stormed to her own room, where her brothers, Yakko and Wakko Warner, were waiting for her.
