Synopsis: A simple trip to the vet becomes a living nightmare when Winnie is forced to deal with a zombified Runt.

*Our story begins at the Warner Bros water tower*

*We see the Warner Siblings, Winnie, and Foxanne sitting on the couch, watching a movie*

*We see scenes of zombies attacking people on the TV*

*Yakko and Foxanne are cuddling, Dot looks enthralled by the movie, Wakko is eating from a giant bucket of popcorn, and Winnie looks visibly shaken by what she's seeing*

*We hear a monstrous growling sound coming from the TV*

*Winnie jolts back in fright*

*She screams as she clings onto Wakko*

*Wakko looks at her in surprise*

*He gives her a reassuring smile and puts his arm around her*

Wakko: There there Winnie, there's nothing to be scared of, it's just a movie.

Winnie: B-B-B-But I can't help it.. it's scary!

*Wakko gently pats her on the back*

*She whines in fear*

*Wakko glares at Yakko*

Wakko: I told you watching Night Of The Brain Munchers was a bad idea..! *He whispers to Yakko*

Yakko: Doesn't seem so bad to me..

*He whispers back as he looks down at Foxanne, who had fallen asleep on his lap*

*Suddenly, there's a knock at the door*

*Winnie jumps in fear and screams, causing Foxanne to jolt awake*

Foxanne: Huh, what!?

Yakko: Calm down, Kiddo, it's just the door.

Winnie: I-I'll get it..

*She walks towards the door and opens it*

*When she opens the door, she is greeted by the lovely Heloise Nerz, otherwise known as Hello Nurse*

Hello Nurse: Oh, hello Winnie!

Winnie: O-Oh! Ms.Heloise! How nice to see you.. what're you doing at the water tower?

Hello Nurse: Um, if it isn't too much trouble, we sorta need your help.

Winnie: Oh no, no trouble at all, what do yo-

*She suddenly hears a loud crash, accompanied by angered yelling and distressed barking*

Winnie: What the!?

*She walks outside and looks over the railing of the tower*

*What she sees is Runt being chased by one of the staff members*

Runt: THEY HAVE A NEEDLE!! THEY'RE DEFINITELY GONNA STAB ME!!!

Winnie: Runt?

???: Get over here!

*The guy tries to grab Runt while another is running towards him with a net*

Runt: GET AWAY FROM ME!! WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME?!

*Runt starts chasing the guy with the net*

Runt: GET BACK HERE SO YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM ME!!

*The guy with the net starts running away*

??: Oh come, that's not fair!

*Winnie whines in concern*

Winnie: Ms.Heloise, what's wrong with Runt?

Hello Nurse: We're trying to take him to the vet so he can get a check-up, but he isn't very cooperative..So I was wondering if you knew what to do, maybe you can try to reason with him?

Winnie: Me? I-I mean I don't have a problem with that, but.. wouldn't Rita be better suited for this?

Hello Nurse: She's working her day shift.

Winnie: Her day shift?

Hello Nurse: I know..

Winnie: W-Well, what made you choose me?

Hello Nurse: You have a way with everyone, and he can't say no to you.

Winnie: Well...we are really good friends...Ok I'll do it, I just hope he'll listen.

Hello Nurse: Great! Thanks, Winnie! I owe you big time, you name it!*

And with that, Hello Nurse leaves the tower*

Winnie: Anytime Ms.Heloise.

*She walks towards the water tower door*

Winnie: Hey guys, you can finish the movie without me, I've got something to take care of!

*The gang comes outside to see what's going on*

Wakko: Are you getting food?

Winnie: No, I've gotta take Runt to the vet.

Dot: Are you gonna take Runt to get "you know what?"

*Yakko blows a kiss to the audience*

Yakko: Goodnight, everybody!

Winnie: You know what?

*Foxanne seems to be a bit uncomfortable*

Foxanne: Should we tell her..?

*Wakko gives her a horrified look*

Wakko: No! Let her stay young!

Winnie: What is it?

Foxanne: Uh... Let's just say it's a surgery a lot of animals don't wanna get.

Winnie: Oh, well thankfully he's not getting that, he's just going in for a checkup.

Yakko: What exactly is so hard about that?

Winnie: Well Ms.Heloise says he's scared of the vet, so she needs me to try to convince him to go.

Dot: Um, how old is Runt?

Winnie: Um... Well I know he's an adult

Dot: He's too old to even be scared of a little check-up!

Winnie: Dot, you're never too old to be afraid of anything, I mean I'm still afraid of small spaces.

Foxanne: It's probably a trauma related thing in Runt's case, but I'd rather not get into those topics right now..

*Winnie whines in concern*

Winnie: Well..wish me luck guys.

Everyone: Good luck!

*And with that, Winnie climbs down the ladder to the tower*

*She steps down and starts walking around, looking for her canine companion*

*One of the staff members run towards her, screaming his head off*

*Winnie yelps in shock*

???: Save yourself, kid! There's a psycho dog running around this lot!

*He runs away screaming*

Winnie: He's not a psycho, he's just scared!

*She whines in concern and continues her search*

Winnie: Oh Runt, where are you..?

Runt: Come back! I'm definitely not done with you yet!

*Not noticing him running, Winnie ends up walking in front of him*

Winnie: Huh?

*She turns her attention towards him*

*Runt notices Winnie and he immediately tries to stop himself, but he instead ends up running into the minkpup, knocking them both to the ground*

*Winnie yelps as they hit the ground*

*The two groan in pain but then they turn their attention towards each other*

Runt: Winnie?!

Winnie: H-Hi Runt. *She says in a nervous tone*

*Runt props himself up and stands over the minkpup*

Runt: Uh, what're you doing here?

Winnie: I was uh.. actually looking for you. *She says as she stands up and dusts herself off*

*She seems a bit nervous*

Runt: Aww thanks, Winnie, but I can look just fine!

*Winnie giggles at this*

Winnie: No no no, I mean I was trying to find you, Ms.Heloise wanted me to find you.

Runt: Um, what does she need?

Winnie: Well uh.... She informed me about a vet appointmen-*

Runt shouts in horror upon hearing this, he then runs and hides in a trashcan*

*Winnie groans in concern*

Winnie: I was afraid he'd react like this..

*She walks up to the trash can and gets down on her knees*

Winnie: Come on Runt, it's not that bad.

Runt: Yes, it is! Definitely is! They're gonna do "you know what" to me!*

Winnie tilts her head in confusion*

Winnie: I really don't know what that means... well they're not, they just wanna give you a checkup, they just wanna see if you're healthy.

Runt: No way! I'm as healthy as, er, um, whatever is healthy!

Winnie: Runt...

*She whines in concern*

Winnie: Well...How about I come with you? That way you won't be alone.

*Runt looks at Winnie with a nervous look on his face*

Runt: Y-You promise..?

Winnie: I promise, cross my heart.

Runt: *gulps* Okay..I guess having you by my side will make this not so bad...Definitely not so bad.

Winnie: *She smiles at him* Definitely.

*At The Vet*

*We see the two sitting in the waiting room*

*We see Runt cowering in his seat, whining and whimpering*

Runt: Uh, Winnie, I'm definitely starting to have second thoughts.

Winnie: *She gently pats him on the head* It'll be ok, Runt, we're just here for a check-up, I promise there's nothing to worry about.

*At that moment, the sound of a pained howl echoes through the building*

*Winnie yelps in fright*

*Runt jolts up in fright*

Runt: What was that?!

Winnie: I--It's just another dog, probably getting it's shots or something.

*Runt whimpers in fear*

Runt: You don't think he's getting...

Winnie: No no no, I don't think so.

*Runt's vision starts to get blurry out of nervousness, and his heart starts beating faster*

Runt: Uh, is it getting hot in here?

*Winnie whines in concern and starts petting him*

Winnie: It'll be ok, there's nothing to worry about..

*She sees a stack of magazines on the stand next to them*

Winnie: Here, this'll take our minds off of-

*Her smile immediately fades when she sees an ad for Night Of The Brain Munchers on the cover*

*She immediately puts the magazine down*

Winnie: M-Maybe not.

*She looks noticeably nervous*

*Runt looks at the minkpup with a look of concern*

Runt: Are you alright yourself?

*Winnie starts breathing heavily as she remembers the horrifying movie she watched beforehand*

Winnie: Y-Yes, I'm perfectly fine..

*She's clearly trying to hide her own fears from the frightened canine*

*Runt whines in worry*

Runt: Are you gonna get "you know what" yourself?

Winnie: N-No, no I'm not.

*At that moment, a nurse comes out of one of the rooms*

??: Ms.Winnie, the doctor will see your dog now.

*The doctor comes out of the room as he puts on a fresh pair of gloves*

Runt: Yipe!

*Runt immediately hides under his seat*

Winnie: Uh... You're gonna need to pry him out of his hiding spot.

???: That's alright, this ain't the first time I've seen this happen.

*The doctor starts pulling on Runt's legs, trying to pull him out*

*The nurse helps the doctor to pull Runt out from under the seat*

*Winnie whines in concern*

*Runt starts frantically trying to grab something, anything to keep him from being taken*

Runt: No! Please! I'll do anything! Definitely anything! Winnie! Don't let them take me!

*The doctor and nurse start to drag Runt towards one of the rooms*

???: Sir, the sooner you cooperate, the quicker this will all be over.

*Winnie looks utterly horrified by this*

Winnie: Oh goodness..

??: It'll be over before you know it! *She says in a strained tone*

*Runt leaves claw marks on the floor as he grips onto it for dear life*

Runt: No! I want to live!

*The door shuts, but then it opens again*

Runt: DEFINITELY LIVE!!

*The door shuts again*

Winnie: It'll be ok, Runt, I promise! *She says in a worried tone*

*She whines in worry*

*Winnie takes deep breaths, trying to calm herself down*

*After a bit of time passes, we see Winnie sleeping, she seems to have dozed off*

*She slowly opens her eyes*

Winnie: H-Huh..?

*Upon waking up, she realizes she's lost track of time*

*She shakes her head and rubs her eyes*

Winnie: How long was I asleep..?

*She looks at the clock on the wall in front of her*

*The clock says it's close to nine pm*

Winnie: Nine o'clock..? *She yawns* *She stretches her arms* I wonder if Runt will be out so-

*At that moment, Winnie hears a bloodcurdling scream*

*She yelps in shock*

*A bunch of veterinarians and nurses run out of a room screaming*

???: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!

Winnie: Huh!?

*She gets off of her chair and walks towards the room*

*She manages to stop one of the nurses*

Winnie: What's going on..

???: ONE OF THE PATIENT'S HAS GONE CRAZY!! SAVE YOURSELF!!

*And with that, the nurse runs away screaming*

Winnie: Crazy? *She looks at the room the vets ran out of* I-Isn't that Runt's room..?

*She slowly walks towards the room with caution*

*Runt is heard moaning*

Winnie: R-Runt? I-Is everything ok?

*She doesn't see anything at first*

*She slowly walks into the room, towards the check-up table*

Winnie: Runt..?

*When she goes behind the check-up table, she sees Runt standing in front of the doctor, who is laying on the ground*

Winnie: Runt? Are you-?

*She steps back in fright and gasps*

*What she sees in front of her is in fact Runt, but he looks horribly mangled and decayed, his fur is a gross green color, one of his eyes is completely white, there's a hole in his jaw, there's a hole in the side of his waist which reveals his ribs, and one of his legs has no flesh, only bone*

Runt: Oh yeah, I'm fine, definitely fine! I do have a craving for brains though....

*Winnie has a look of horror on her face, she cannot believe what she's seeing*

Winnie: Oh my goodness... *She says in a frightened tone*

Runt: What's the matter, Winnie?

Winnie: Oh Runt, what've they done to you!?

*She turns her attention towards the vet*

Winnie: And what happened to the doctor!?

Runt: OH! Don't worry, he's just sleeping!

Winnie: O-Oh, ok.

*She smiles in relief*

Runt: Permanently!

*Her somewhat relieved expression immediately turns back to horror*

Winnie: What!?

*She looks like she's five seconds away from having a panic attack*

Runt: And now, I'm gonna make you just like him!

Winnie: Wh-Why would you wanna do that!? I'm your friend!

*She slowly backs away from him*

*Runt growls at her as saliva drips from his mouth*

Winnie: R-Runt, Runt no!

*Runt lunges forward and runs towards her*

Winnie: No!!

*Winnie immediately runs away as fast as she can*

Runt: H-Hey! Slow down, Winnie! Y'a know I can't run that fast!

Winnie: In this case that works in my favor!

*She looks around for help*

*We see one of the doctors walking down the hallway, pushing a cart*

Winnie: Help! Someone please help!

???: Huh?

*They look to see what's going on*

Runt: I hear you breathing, Winnie!

*She yelps in distress*

*We see Runt getting closer and closer to her*

*The doctor takes one look at the zombified canine and freaks out*

??: Zombie!!

*They push the cart down the hallway and run away*

Winnie: No wait, I need to get through!

*Runt gets hit by cart and hits the floor*

*Winnie yelps in shock*

*She then takes this opportunity to climb over the cart and run*

*Runt groans in pain*

*He shakes his head and turns his attention back to the situation at hand*

Runt: Come on Winnie! Just a bite!

Winnie: No!!

*She looks around before running into one of the rooms*

*She looks for a hiding spot, and sets her sights on the cabinets*

*She goes inside one of the cabinets and gently closes the door, trying not to make noise*

*Runt peaks in the room and walks in*

Runt: Come out come out wherever you are! I may not see you, but I can smell you!

*Winnie tries to be as quiet as she can as tears well up in her eyes*

*Her nervousness quickly turns to horror as Runt starts breaking the cabinets open one by one*

*Winnie starts hyperventilating as she hears him getting closer*

*Before he can break the last one, Winnie dashes out of the cabinet and out of the room at high speeds*

*She turns back to look at the zombie dog*

*He clearly seems frustrated*

Runt: Now now Winnie, we could do this the easy way or the hard way! The choice is your's!

Winnie: If the hard way keeps me alive, I'll gladly do it the hard way!

Runt: Okay... I guess we're doing this the hard way.. *He says in a strangely sinister tone*

*Winnie whines in fear and starts running again*

*As she's running, she sees another cart covered in different bottles*

*She grabs one of the bottles and pours the liquid from it onto the floor*

*She looks up to see the zombified canine running towards her*

Runt: I see you!

*Not looking at the floor, he slips on the liquid, and falls onto the floor*

*Winnie whines in worry*

Winnie: I'm so sorry, Runt, but I'm not ending up like any of those victims in Night Of The Brain Munchers!

*She takes this opportunity to run*

*He props himself*

Runt: I may be down, but I'm definitely not out!

*As she's running, she sees another cart with gauze on it*

*She grabs the gauze and uses it to make a makeshift trip wire in the middle of the hallway*

*She then goes into one of the rooms and locks the door*

Runt: Where'd yah go? I can see you! Definitely see you! *He says despite not actually knowing where she is*

*Not looking where he's going, he trips on the gauze and lands face first onto the floor*

*Winnie starts to panic, as she realizes she has nowhere to go*

Winnie: Oh no I'm trapped..! *She whispers to herself*

*That's when she sees a vent on the wall on the far side of the room*

*She runs towards the vent*

Winnie: A vent..! *She whispers*

*Looking around, she sees a screwdriver on the counter next to her*

*She grabs it and starts unscrewing the screws in the vent grate*

*She hears Runt in the distance calling out to her*

Runt: You can run, but you can't hide, Winnie!

Winnie: That's what you think.. *She whispers to herself*

*Not paying attention to what she's doing, the grate falls off the vent*

*She tries to grab it, but it falls onto the floor, making a loud clanging sound*

*Runt hears the crash from outside the room*

Runt: A-ha!

Winnie: Oh no..! *She whispers to herself*

*Not wanting to waste time, Winnie immediately crawls into the vents and starts making her way through it*

*She tries to keep herself from coughing as the vent is very dusty*

Winnie: Oh goodness, it's so dusty in here..this definitely isn't as easy as they make it look in the movies..

*As she's making her way through, she ends up running into a cobweb*

*She quietly yelps in disgust*

*She starts trying to get the cobweb off her face*

*She groans in disgust*

*Back in the room, we hear something banging at the door*

*The door eventually breaks open, and we see Runt standing outside the room*

*Runt sees the open grate*

*He growls at this*

Runt: I'm coming for that brain!

*He runs towards the vent and tries to climb into it*

Runt: Here I come Winnie!

*Winnie quietly whines upon hearing this, and she starts crawling faster*

Winnie: C-Calm down Winnie, there's no way he can fit into the vent..! *She says to herself*

*As he tries to go into the vent, Runt realizes that he's stuck*

Runt: Er, um, this is gonna take a while, Winnie.

*He grunts and groans as he struggles to squeeze into the vent*

*Winnie smiles to herself, thinking she might actually be able to escape*

Winnie: I think I'm gonna make it..! *She says to herself*

*Runt eventually manages to get into the vent, but he ends up breaking the wall in the process*

Runt: Finally! Now, to get her brain! Definitely her brain!

*He makes several dents in the vent as he makes his way through*

*Winnie screams in horror upon hearing this*

*She starts crawling faster*

Runt: You can't beat me, Winnie! My hunting skills are unmatched!

Winnie: Please! Just leave me alone!!

*As they're going through the vent, it starts to make a chilling creaking sound*

*The creaking gets louder and louder*

Winnie: Oh no..

*The damage to the vents combined with Runt's weight causes the vent to collapse, sending both Runt and Winnie plummeting towards the ground*

*Winnie screams in shock*

*The two hit the floor below, along with the parts to the vent*

*A nurse, who was sitting at the desk in the room jolts back in fright and turns her attention towards the situation*

*Runt coughs and shakes his head*

*He then turns his attention towards Winnie*

Runt: Well, well, well, Winnie, we're alone now..Just you, and me, and your brain....

*He licks his lips in anticipation*

*The nurse takes notice to this, and stands up from her desk*

???: Hey! You're gonna have to pay for tha-!

*Runt turns towards the nurse and growls at her*

*The nurse drops her paperwork in shock*

???: ZOMBIE!!

*The nurse immediately runs out of the room*

*Winnie is seen laying on the ground*

*She slowly props herself up*

*She groans in pain*

Winnie: That was unpleasant..

*Runt hears the poor girl's groans and turns his attention towards her*

Winnie: Oh shoot!

*She tries to stand up, but she's in too much pain to stand*

*She yelps in pain and falls back onto the floor*

*Runt chuckles maniacally*

Runt: Finally! Now I got you right where I want you...

*His tail starts wagging excitedly as he licks his lips*

*Winnie shuffles away from him, but ends up moving herself into a corner*

*Tears well up in her eyes*

Winnie: N-No, no! Please! Have mercy! Runt, we're friends! You wouldn't wanna hurt me!

*Runt stares at her for a moment, taking time to process what she just said*

Winnie: We're friends..Runt we're friends...please..

*tears fall from her eyes*

*After a few seconds of him staring at her, Runt smiles at the frightened minkpup*

Runt: Wow, Winnie..that's so sweet, definitely sweet.

*Winnie smiles for a split second, thinking she managed to get through to her canine companion*

Runt: I'll have to remember that while I'm eating your brain.

*Winnie's smile immediately disappears and is replaced with a look of dread*

*Letting out a menacing growl, Runt lunges at Winnie*

*Winnie screams in terror*

*The scene fades, and it cuts to Winnie sleeping in her chair, look visibly distressed*

*Winnie's eyes shoot open and she let's out a bloodcurdling scream*

*She breathes heavily*

*As she looks around frantically, a nurse comes out from one of the doors*

???: Ms Winnie, Runt is all set!

*At that moment, Runt comes out of the room alive and well, with a big smile on his face*

Runt: That went better than expected! Definitely!

*Winnie looks visibly distressed and confused*

Winnie: H-Huh!? Wha- Huh!?

*She starts patting herself frantically*

Winnie: I'm alive!? What the!?

???: Is everything alright, Ms?

*Runt looks at Winnie with concern*

Runt: Do you need a check-up yourself, Winnie?

*Winnie stares at Runt for a minute*

*Tears well up in Winnie's eyes*

Winnie: Runt!

*She runs up to Runt and hugs him tightly*

*She starts sobbing uncontrollably*

Winnie: You're ok you're ok you're ok!!

*Runt looks down at Winnie, he seems visibly confused by the minkpup's sudden outburst*

Runt: I don't think I understand what's happening, definitely don't understand.

Winnie: *She sniffles* You don't know how happy I am to see you..

*Her tail starts excitedly wagging*

*Runt smiles at this response and hugs her back*

Runt: Gee, thanks, Winnie! Though I don't think you'll be happy to see the bill...

Winnie: The bill?*

The nurse pulls up the bill*

???: That'll be eighty dollars, ma'am.

Winnie: O-Oh..That bill.

Runt: I'm just glad I didn't get "you know what."

Winnie: *She shudders at this* See Runt, there was really nothing to worry about.

Runt: I guess you're right, definitely right... By the way, what were you worked up about?

Winnie: O-Oh nothing really, I just had a bad dream.. but I'm fine now, I promise.

Runt: A bad dream?

Winnie: Yeah.. Let's just say I will never watch a zombie movie again.

*Runt nods in agreement*

Runt: Yeah, never again.

Winnie: *She clears her throat* Come on, let's go home, maybe we can grab some food on the way home.

*Runt smiles upon hearing this, his tail starts wagging excitedly*

Runt: I know! How about some brains!?

*Winnie yelps and jumps back in fright upon hearing this*

Runt: What? I was just kidding! Definitely kidding.

*Winnie sighs in relief*

Winnie: You goofball.

*Runt giggles at this response*

*And with that, the two head off on their merry way*

(The End.)
