"Kass? Kass, come on wake up we're almost there" Babs whispered nudging me awake "it's a pretty view," Babs said, more to herself as she stared out the window observing the dim glow of the morning sun over Burbank "it'll be better if I was asleep," I yawned, thumping my head against the cold glass.
"Can you tell me again why you wanted to go a day before filming starts?" I said fiddling with my sweatshirt string. "I just wanted to get a feel of the set, the set you are going to be on aren't you excited!" Babs squealed, shaking me. Gaining a concerned look from the chauffeur in the rearview, Babs raised her hand in apology "I guess" I sighed snuggling deep into the warmth of my hoodie.
I stared out the window until the familiar and may I say Iconic water tower came to view. A flicker of anxiety ran up my spine as we pulled up to the security gate. "Shit! Ok, now I'm freaking out!" I thought, bouncing my leg. "Hey, it's alright I'm here" Babs grabbed my hand noticing my anxiousness, I blushed from how quickly my hand turned clammy "sorry" I muttered "it's ok" she whispered back.
"We've arrived Ma'am" I peered out the window at what I assumed to be the main building entrance "thank you" Babs smiled as we slipped out of the car "oh my stars, It's freezing!" I exhaled watching my breath turn into a puffy cloud "I never knew January was cold!" My teeth chattered as I desperately tried to warm myself.
"Ms.Vex? Good morning!" We looked up to see a chipper, casually dressed young man approaching us Babs swiftly stood in front of me blocking his path. "Are you the handler?" Babs said sternly "y-yes that's me. You can just call me Kevin." I tapped Babs in reassurance as I shook off the nibbling chill and confidently shook Kevin's outstretched hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I know it's not professional but Ms.Vex, is it alright if I can get a picture?" "Of course! and you can just call me Lèa" I smiled posing with him.
"Thank you and if you'll just follow me. How was your flight by the way I hope everything was to your liking?" He began leading us around the studio "It was just wonderful, really the royalty treatment" I happily chirped, with Babs close behind.
"Alright so here's where you'll be filming tomorrow" Babs and I looked around in a little awe it was a very purple neon set but the fluorescent graffiti, splattered over the walls stood out beautifully. A few people were huddled behind the camera hooked up to a laptop talking amidst themselves as they tested the equipment.
"Oh my stars, this is so amazing!" I squeaked shaking Babs's arm unable to contain my excitement. "Alright, Miss Ve- I mean Leà, if you just follow me I'll lead you to wardrobe so they can take your measurements and adjust some things."
"estás bien? ¿estás incómoda? Puedo decir algo." Babs said low, looking at the lady wrapping the thin measuring tape around my waist as she hummed to the music she had on. "Estoy bien, tiene que hacerse de todos modos," I said my eyes softening on her "alright we are all done! we'll have you ready for tomorrow" the lady piped "thank you again love" I smiled and waved goodbye as Babs escorted me out "anything else you want to do?" I sighed finally letting my smile fall "oh! Could we take a tour around the lot, please" she pleaded as her eyes lit up "Yeah sure let's go ask Kevin."
"You guys are all set! Is there anything you need Léa?" Kevin said in an overly cheerful tone "I was wondering if it's alright if we can get a tour of the lot. If it's not too much trouble." He stayed silent for a bit as if contemplating with himself "it'll be my pleasure" he led us to a four-seater golf cart Babs eagerly sat in the back with me making sure to keep her stone-cold expression.
we zoomed off as I watched in awe at the looming empty buildings "so I know this is your first time doing this sort of thing, is it nerve-wracking?" he loudly questioned as the wind howled around us "not really because I know I'm in good hands and I'll be doing what I do best" I lounged over the passenger seat tuning him out as he started the whole tour spiel but soon noticed where we were and what he had said.
"Wait...Animaniacs? As in the show Animaniacs?!" Kevin looked a little lost "uh yes? They live right up there" he casually pointed up at the tower "they still live here?! Ok, Kevin, I need you to pull whatever strings you can so I can just meet them" I squeaked in a rush unable to contain the excitement. "I don't know, they are pretty busy with their upcoming reboot right now," he said unsure and not wanting to disappoint. I know he can't let me but I can't pass up a chance like this I felt even more determined now! "Please, Kevin I know I'm asking a lot from you right now but, please!" I said making sure to emphasize please as I cupped my hands desperately but he still looked unsure.
Babs ushered me back and said in a low and threatening voice "You have to take her or you're not really handling her, isn't that what you're supposed to do?" for having such soft blue eyes, Babs managed a lot of frightening stares.
"Ah well...um I supposed you're right" he squeaked aloud as if trying to convince himself "alright then" He fumbled for his walkie talkie and quickly mumbled something into it and soon got a reply back then zoomed off to the opposite direction. "Sorry about her she's just really protective, thank you again love" I admit I did feel bad for him but meeting the Warners is so worth it.
"oh, my stars! I'm going to meet them! Wait do I look presentable? Babs?! Do I look ok?" I bounced off the cart eagerly waiting for an answer "gorgeous" she chef kissed into the air, "liar!" Which made both of them jump "But I'll let it slide because I know you're trying to calm me down" I nervously rubbed my clammy hands against my pant leg. "Alright, here it is, sound stage 15."
