Well, I'm back. And "Get Real!" and "Dreams of a 9th Grade Artist" are both on indefinite hiatus. I just don't feel like I could do more chapters of those stories right now, as I've been going through some emotional troubles. So, instead, I'm going to post scripts of a cartoon show I've been thinking of. Here's the first part:
Episode 1
(The episode starts out with the camera zooming onto a building, with the words "Toonist World, Inc. There, we hear yelling)
BENSON: This isn't for dreamers, Mr. Morbright! This is a business that only respectable people work in!
(Camera turns to a young man who appears to be in his early 20s with small, round glasses on his face, a bracelet on his right hand, and wearing a polo and a sweater vest)
ALAN: But sir, I've been working here for 8 months now, and I haven't been credited for working on 'Life n' Sweets'. I mean, I thought of it since 6th grade!
BENSON: I don't care how you think if you created 'Life n' Sweets', by the way was created by Mrs. Alisha Sanchez!
(Mr. Benson points to a head-shot picture of a young Hispanic woman who's might be in her mid-20s, with a hair bun, pink-framed glasses, and pink pearl earrings)
ALAN: But sir, she turned it in when I was sick and I asked her!
BENSON: LIES! Go back to work as the accountant, nerd-boy!!
ALAN: But- gah- do- dah- argh! Fine, I'll go back to my office.
(ALAN mutters to himself as he walks past several offices, including one office with gold letters spelling out " ALISHA SANCHEZ: VICE PRESIDENT AND CREATOR OF 'LIFE N' SWEETS' ". ALAN blows a raspberry at this, and continues to walk down the hall until the end, and he enters a small "office" with "ALAN MORBRIGHT: ACCOUNTANT")
ALAN: This stinks! (kicks the door) Can't believe this happened!
(ALAN walks in to the office, and inside there's a desk, a fairly comfortable-looking chair, a computer, a small TV, calculators, a lot of paper, and drawings scattered across the walls)
ALAN: I wish I could do something about this. But I guess that with this job, I'm not penniless and dead.
(ALAN punches in some numbers and typed it in his computer. His computer gives him the 'Blue Screen of Death' and he slams his fist on the desk)
ALAN: BUT THIS PLACE COULD AT LEAST GET ME A NEW COMPUTER FOR THIS!
(ALAN throws his arms in the air and screams. Meanwhile, we faded away from this scene to one with bright colors, outrageous buildings, some that are alive, and multiple people and animals that are very cartoonish. We then encounter a girl who's running at full speed with a boy flying in the wind, while holding the girl's hand)
?: OH MAN WE'RE LATE!!!
(The boy holds up a sign, which says "But the bell hasn't rung yet, we might not be late")
?: JEREMY, IT'S NO TIME TO DO THIS!! WE'RE LATE!
JEREMY: (holds up yet another sign) But we might arrive on time.
?: JEREMY! COME ON!!!
(The girl runs even faster, and the boy wiggles in the air. Then, we zoom out and see a huge school with the words, "UNIVERSITY OF TOONINESS". Inside the walls we see large crowds of people and teachers are all around)
?: WE- (bell rings) - MADE IT!?
(Immediately the crowds run inside the school, and only the girl and Jeremy are left in the courtyard. All of a sudden a teacher walks towards them)
TEACHER: MISS ANGELIE JOSEPHINE-MIRANDA JOSS! YOU AND MR. JEREMY KENNETH P. HOGERS HAVE YET ANOTHER LUNCH DETENTION WITH ME!
ANGELIE: (moans) Aw why!? We were hear before the bell rung!
TEACHER: NO MATTER! DETENTION!
(ANGELIE sighs, and walks inside the school)
(We enter their first period: Toon Science)
MR. NEUTRON: Today we will be discussing about Toonlastic. Does anyone know what Toonlastic is?
(No one raises their hands)
MR. NEUTRON: No one? Well, then. Toonlastic is what makes us, just like cells making up a real human.
ANGELIE: What's does Toonlastic do?
MR. NEUTRON: Ah, good question! We do not know how Toonlastic is made, but that it's been around for centuries, and that because of it, we can do the things we can do because of it. Does anyone want to demonstrate?
(Yet again, no one raises their hand. Then a black-haired ponytail girl speaks up)
?: Angelie Joss wants to do it!
ANGELIE: What!? No I don't!
MR. NEUTRON: Excellent, Miss Joss. Come on here!
(ANGELIE stands up and walks towards the front. She passes the black-haired ponytail girl)
ANGELIE: (talking from the side of her mouth, and in a low whisper) I hate you, Sidney.
SIDNEY: I hate you too, Joss.
(ANGELIE reaches the front where MR. NEUTRON is, and stands next to him)
MR. NEUTRON: Now, first we will hit you with a mallet to begin with!
ANGELIE: Say what?
(MR. NEUTRON takes out a hammer out of nowhere, and slams it on ANGELIE)
ANGELIE: OUCH!!
MR. NEUTRON: Now see here? Miss Joss is now a flattened pancake, yet she is still alive and well. We'll be continuing this tomorrow.
ANGELIE: Great. Just great. (moans)
Yea, yea. Go ahead and complain. Tell me I have too many story projects and I haven't finished one of them. I'm just been going through several emotion problems, and personally, my life couldn't get any worse than it is.

Hey Dremare! Sorry things are not good right now. I was getting really into the second part of this. I'm interested to see how the two 'worlds' are connected. I could visualise this all very clearly!

Hey ya'll, I'm back. Sure, I've gotten better, but now that it's beginning to become Spring, my allergies have been acting up. But here's another part of "Life as a Toon!" for you all.
Episode 2 (really need to find something else to call it, considering that they're not really 'episodes')
(Time passes, now it's lunch)
ANGELIE: Man, school's a bummer.
JEREMY: (Holds up sign) I know what you mean.
ANGELIE: I mean, Sidney's still insidious, the Act-Alikes are following her lead, as always, and her boyfriend's bugging us again!
JEREMY: (holds up a sign with someone shivering)
ANGELIE: So far, school sucks!
SIDNEY: Aw, is the wittle itty bitty baby crying now?
(ANGELIE and JEREMY turn around, and SIDNEY, the ACT-ALIKES, and BOMB-BOOM, are behind them)
ANGELIE: Sidney, leave us alone.
SIDNEY: Hey guys, look. The baby wants us to leave her alone.
(The ACT-ALIKES and BOMB-BOOM all laugh)
ANGELIE: Why do you hate us, we didn't do anything to you at all when we met in 3rd grade!!
SIDNEY: Uh, yeah, you did something to us.
ANGELIE: Which is?
SIDNEY: Existing on Toon Planet!
(SIDNEY, the ACT-ALIKES, and BOMB-BOOM all laugh)
ANGELIE: THAT'S IT!!!!
(ANGELIE brings out a sign with the words, "EAT THIS!", and smacks it on SIDNEY so hard that it leaves a mark)
SIDNEY: Okay, you asked for it!
(SIDNEY snaps her fingers, and immediately the ACT-ALIKES and BOMB-BOOM charge forward)
BOMB-BOOM: NOW I GET TO DO SOMETHING!!!
(BOMB-BOOM charges at JEREMY and explodes, sending JEREMY flying)
ANGELIE: Ow! Hey! Stop pulling my hair!
(The ACT-ALIKES are pulling on ANGELIE's hair, pulling from each side so much that her head starts to stretch. Then she rips in half. The ACT-ALIKES are laughing as ANGELIE pulls herself together)
ANGELIE: Oh yea, that was soooooo funny. Here, let me show you what's funny.
(ANGELIE blows into her thumbs, making her hands massive. She claps with the ACT-ALIKES in between, and when she pulls her hands away, the ACT-ALIKES are flattened together like pancakes)
ACT-ALIKE 1: Ouch! This is, like, going to ruin my hair!
ACT-ALIKE 2: Yea, Ashley, like, mine too!
(As the ACT-ALIKES are fussing over their hair, MRS. HALE is walking over)
MRS. HALE: MISS ANGELIE JOSEPHINE-MIRANDA JOSS! YOU HAVE DETENTION FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK!
ANGELIE: But Mrs. Hale! It's them that started it!
(SIDNEY places an apple in MRS. HALE's hand, and MRS. HALE smiles)
MRS. HALE: Hmph, Miss Sidney Cortland Moris had nothing to do with it.
(ANGELIE's jaw drops to the ground, as BOMB-BOON reforms and JEREMY lands)
MRS. HALE: TO THE OFFICE NOW!!!
ANGELIE: Man, this bites even more!
(We transition back to the Real World, as ALAN is sitting at a coffee shop called the
"Heart's Point")
ALAN: Dang, this isn't going so well. My former friend stole credit for my work, I'm a half deadbeat because I'm working as an accountant. IN A CARTOON-PUBLISHING COMPANY. Dang.
(ALAN slams his head on the table, as the waiter is coming towards him)
WAITER: (talking timidly) Um, sir? Do you mind? You're kind of annoying everyone here.
ALAN: Oh, sorry, Miss-?
WAITER: Miranda. Miranda Hemmingsworth.
ALAN: That name sounds familiar..... Can't put my finger on it.
MIRANDA: Um... Are you, by chance, Alan Morbright?
ALAN: Howja know?
MIRANDA: Well... Um.... I was your classmate in high school.
ALAN: Really?
MIRANDA: Yea. I was in your Art class, where you got kicked out because of your art skills.
ALAN: Oh yea! I remember now! Man, was Mrs. Pail was so mad!
MIRANDA: Yea, she was. (giggles)
(ALAN and MIRANDA both talk on, as the hour goes on, with people going and coming. Than, the BOSS comes in)
BOSS: MIRANDA! COME HERE! IT'S STILL YOUR SHIFT!
MIRANDA: Oh yea! Sorry Alan, hope to see you again tomorrow!!
ALAN: Okay, thanks for cheering me up!
(ALAN is leaning back on his chair, smiling, looking at MIRANDA, and got inspiration)
ALAN: (grabs a napkin and takes a pen out of his pocket) Okay, so let's see..... Long hair..... Blue eyes....... Kind smile........ And colorful clothes..... There we go! Hey Miranda!!
(MIRANDA comes over, with several cups on a tray, and the BOSS is looking straight at them)
MIRANDA: What is it?
ALAN: This!
(ALAN shows MIRANDA the picture he drew, which was of her looking as a cartoon)
MIRANDA: Wow! Thanks!
ALAN: Yea, your welcome. I'd thought you'd love it.
(MIRANDA hugs ALAN, and runs off. Meanwhile, a girl in the shadows is watching from a distance, drawing and sketching down what she saw)
 : Perfect! This is going to be the greatest add-ins of my career!
(??? laughs maliciously, and walks away)

Well, it may have been several months since I've updated this, but now I did!!!
Episode 3
(Camera is outside of "Toonist World, Inc.", and is relatively quiet, until ALAN screams angrily.)
ALAN: ALLLLLLLLLISHA!!!!!!!!!
(ALAN is stomping through the hall, as he slammed open a door to an office, revealing the woman in the picture frame in BENSON'S office in Episode 1, is sitting behind a desk)
ALAN: What is the meaning of this!? You stole my idea AGAIN, and someone else's identity!!!!
ALISHA: What? Me? You must be kidding, Morbright.
ALAN: Really? Does THIS look like I'm kidding!? You took my drawing of Miranda Hemmingsworth, and made her a character on 'Life n' Sweets'! You always do this, don't you!? Taking credit from others, like me!!
ALISHA: Alan, Alan. You simply don't know. I'm a cartoonist, you're a simple accountant. There is no possible way for you to prove yourself right.
(ALAN is pacing angrily in front of ALISHA'S desk)
ALAN: You're damn wrong, Alisha. I've been doing everything for you since we were in Kindergarten. From blankets and mats, to homework and jobs, I've done them all for you! And what do I get? Absolutely, positively, NOTHING. No credit, no money, no thank you, I never got anything out of it but trouble! It was bad enough you took my idea of 'Life n' Sweets' and passed it off as your own, but now you've stolen someone's identity! You can't possibly believe that you can get away with this!
ALISHA: Well, unlike you, Alan, I have lawyers-
(ALAN interrupts)
ALAN: Which were mine, too!
ALISHA: - But I don't think you understand. I will gladly pay her for her identity, she'll cope with it.
ALAN: Oh yes, because EVERYONE would gladly sell their identity off to a CARTOONIST!!!
(ALAN walks off in a huff, glowering angrily as he walked into BENSON'S office.)
BENSON: What is it this time, Morbright?
ALAN: THIS. How the heck can you let Alisha do this!? This character is real!! I've drew her a gift, and she stole it for 'Life n' Sweets'!
BENSON: Morbright, I will not have you accuse other employees of theft!
ALAN: But this isn't any ordinary theft, it's identity theft!!
BENSON: Oh really!? Is this 'Miranda Hemmingsworth' a coffee shop employee? Is she also best friends with a cartoonist who's initials 'A.M'?
ALAN: Yes, and that's MY initials!!
BENSON: No it isn't, Benjamin! Yours is 'B.M.', which you should change.
ALAN: 'Benjamin'? Where did you get Benja- You moron! It's Benjamin Morton you're thinking of! He's a voice actor here!!!
BENSON: Morbright, why do you persist in your acts here? Why?
ALAN: I do it because it's UNFAIR!
BENSON: Life's unfair, kid! And you know what else going to be unfair for you? You're fired.
ALAN: But that IS unfair!! On what accounts!?
BENSON: Of accusing Mrs. Sanchez of stealing! A real Miranda Hemmingsworth, what a load of phooie!
ALAN: You know what? FINE. Go ahead and fire me. But when karma comes back and bites your butt, I'll be there, LAUGHING at you.
(ALAN stomps off, as BENSON resumes writing, when ALISHA comes in.)
ALISHA: I take it you finally fired him?
BENSON: Yep.
ALISHA: Good, you finally executed our plan. Why did you take so long at firing him?
BENSON: Because it would have been too suspicious if we fired him early on, Ms. Sanchez. Otherwise, we'd have lost the entire plan.
ALISHA: I see.... Now no one can stand in our way as we beat in another hopeless sucker like Morbright.
(Both start to laugh sinisterly, as ALAN runs past the Heart's Point, crying as MIRANDA served customers, unaware of what was happening)
ALAN (thinking): Why!? Why does life have to be unfair!? I've done so many good things and had so many great ideas, but every time, someone has to take my credit, and shaft me to the side! It's unfair! Life as a human is unfair!!
(ALAN keeps on running, when it starts to rain.)
ALAN (still thinking): If I wasn't a human, life could be easier! Like.... Like a cartoon! Yea, life would be easier as a cartoon..... Life as a Toon, perhaps....
(Soon, he stops at an abandoned car-tunnel that was going through a giant mountain. He looks up, and starts to scream.)
ALAN: DO YOU HEAR ME, UP THERE!? WHY CAN'T I BE A TOON!?
(At the same time, ANGELIE and JEREMY are sitting at her home, which was just as wacky inside as the outside.)
ANGELIE: This stinks. I hate Sidney.
(JEREMY holds up a sign with a owl hooting and 'doesn't' (Get it? 'Who Doesn't?'))
ANGELIE: Seriously, Mrs. Hale is being unfair! It's not cool. I mean, why do we have to-
(ANGELIE is interrupted, however, by her older brother.)
RYAN: Hey, Angelie, what's up?
ANGELIE: Hey, Ryan. Nothing, except for SIDNEY GETTING ME INTO TROUBLE!!
RYAN: Oh, still having problems with Sidney Morris, huh?
ANGELIE: Of course, duh!! How can you not tell!?
RYAN: Whoa, take it easy, Annie. I thought you and Sidney had settle your differences, that's all.
ANGELIE: Well, you're wrong! She's never tries to be nice! All she does it be mean to everyone! But can anyone else stand up to her? No. Do the teachers do anything? No. It's just not fair!!
RYAN: Annie, I hate to break it to ya, but life doesn't always play favorites. I mean, some go and be great. Others, well, um....
(JEREMY holds up a sign with a picture of a toilet)
RYAN: Yea, thanks for the help, Jerry.
ANGELIE: Well, I'll be taking a walk... Maybe that will help me vent out things.
RYAN: Go ahead, be my guest.
(ANGELIE gets up and walks out, as RYAN starts to talk to JEREMY.)
ANGELIE (thinking): Man, Toon Planet is suppose to be the best place ever..... But all it does is bring trouble for me.....
(She walks past some smiling buildings and some other cartoon characters.)
ANGELIE (still thinking): I wish someone could help me out.... Like my creator! Yea, he'd help.... But he hasn't touched anything that's related to me, Jeremy, or anyone else here.... Well, Emma has her own cartoon, but she isn't exactly happy, either, since someone has been taking his credit. I just hope he's okay.
(Back with ALAN, he sits against the side of the tunnel, still crying, when an eccentric man dressed in every color skips over to him.)
ECCENTRIC MAN: What's wrong, sonny?
ALAN: Everything. My life, my credit, everything.
ECCENTRIC MAN: Oh, really? Well, I know a place where EVERYTHING is right!
(ECCENTRIC MAN smiles, and offers ALAN a hand. ALAN takes the man's hands, and suddenly starts to change. He loses one of his fingers, his eyes become more cartoonish, and he suddenly slims down to the stature of a brainiac in a cartoon .)
ALAN: What the heck!? What happened to me!?
ECCENTRIC MAN: You, my fine friend, are now a cartoon.
ALAN: What?
(Soon, the ECCENTRIC MAN disappears, and ALAN is pulled by a cartoon hand that came from the other end of the tunnel. At the end, he hits a wall with a small hole, far too small for him to fit through, when his head gets pulled in, followed by his torso, and legs. He finds himself in the sky for some reason.)
ALAN: OOOOOOOOOOOH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
(ALAN than splatters on the ground, becoming a puddle which had the colors of his skin and clothes, and his face floating in it. Soon, he reforms into his cartoon form.)
ALAN: I'm.... Not dead? But how?
ANGELIE (muffled): Ask... The person.... You're on!!
(ALAN looks down, and sees ANGELIE, flattened into a disk.)
ALAN: Oh my god, I'm sorry!!
ANGELIE: Don't be, since I was flattened a few times already.
(ALAN gets off, as ANGELIE blows into her thumbs, inflating herself.)
ANGELIE: Anyways, where did you come from!? And why the hell-
(ANGELIE stops, and takes one good look at ALAN.)
ANGELIE: Oh my god.... It can't be.....
ALAN: What? What can't be?
ANGELIE: CREATOR!!!
(ANGELIE leaps onto a shocked ALAN, who then falls over.)
