There was some odd noise, which got the attention of everyone. As they all looked in the direction of the noise, You recognized someone pink, someone green, and someone who appeared to be a kid.
‘Thank you, Timmy Turner! I’ll try and pay you back somehow,’ You thought before lifting Georgette off of you. Had you know it was someone else with a special remote, you would have cried out for help from them.
“Hey! Unless you’re petting me, hands off the Merchandise, handsome!” Georgette loudly said.
“Sorry, but I have places to be, ladies!” You said before running off. As you ran out the building, you looked back. Cats were riding on the Dogs. The Building was labeled, ‘Props Warehouse #2019'.
You ran and ran in the seemingly endless maze of warehouses. Some were prop storages, others were set storages, and others were meant to be used as a set. Eventually, you came to what looked like the way out of the maze. When you got out, you saw a car and stopped and pleaded, “Let me in! I’m being chased by cats and dogs!”
“What are you-Oh my! Get in!” A family voice replied. You heard a car door unlock, so you opened it and got inside. After you put on your seat belt, the car door locked and the car drove off.
Georgette growled, “You can run, honey, but you can’t hide! Georgette will have her new pet!”
As you calmed down, you looked towards your savior. “Thanks, Mrs. Peg Pete?”
Peg nodded. “Yup, that’s my name, though I was recently divorced! I’m sure you heard of Peg-O-My-Heart Realty. If you need a place to live, then we’ll work towards your heart’s desire!”
You could lie, but you were in a cartoon reality. Telling lies would spiral out of control and you’d probably be punished harshly. Telling truths would eventually work out for you, even if you were punished beforehand. So you decided to mostly tell the truth.
“Uh… Vaguely… I’m gonna level with you. I’m from another reality,” You began. “I arrived in a warehouse and was kiss-attacked by dogs and cats. My transport device looks and acts like a remote, but I lost it when I was kiss-attacked.”
Peg blinked for a moment. “I wanna say that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard, but that’d be a lie. I’ve sold homes to Superheroes and Supervillains. Which are you?”
“A traveler looking to enjoy the journey,” You replied as you looked out the window. “It’s just that I was overwhelmed by my first stop.”
“So, you aren’t looking for a home?” Peg asked as she stopped at an intersection. ‘So I might not get a sale?’
“Maybe a vacation home after I get some money. The city looks really nice,” You replied. So many cartoons from the past interacting with each other brought a smile to your face.
Peg smiled. “Well, I might be able to help with both. I have an opening for an assistant. You do know how to drive right?”
“Yes, but I’m not certain my license would work here,” You replied.
“We’ll stop by a DMV and check. “It should work, even if you’re from a different dimension or time,” Peg replied back. When you opened your mouth, she quickly said, “Cartoon Logic. Best not to question it, especially when you’re a real-worlder.”
“You… know?” You asked.
“Yup. Kinda hard not to,” Peg replied as she pulled into a DMV. “Alright, let’s check that license.”

A little bit later, Peg drove off with a smile. “Told ya. I guess I can have you be a chauffeur, Dan.”
“Right, Mrs. Peg Pete,” You replied.
“Call me Peg, Sweetie,” Peg replied, giving you a kiss on the cheek.
“So my job as an assistant?” You asked as you gently touched the spot where she kissed.
“Oh, just carry stuff I give you, do research on stuff I ask you to look up, go with me on business dates, get food and drinks,” Peg began.
“Wait a moment, go on dates?” You asked.
She glanced towards you and answered, “Business dates, Dan. Totally different. You’re there to stop clients from getting too flirty with me by making it look like I'm taken.”
She tapped the steering wheel as she rolled her eyes. “I mean, if you want to go on dates, we can, but after you’ve proven yourself to be a good worker.”
“I’ll think about it. But my transport device… Can we go back to get it tomorrow? I’d say today, but I think the dogs and cats will be on patrol,” You asked.
“Well, I guess we can. I have a day off tomorrow and the warehouses are pretty friendly,” Peg replied. “Do you even have a place to sleep?”
“Well, I guess I could find a homeless shelter,” You answered.
“Nonsense! Stay with me! I’ll take a chance to give you a a rundown of your new job and help iron out the kinks,” Peg replied.
“Thank you once again, Peg,” You replied. Once she stopped at another intersection, Peg gave you another kiss on the cheek.
