Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Chapter 3: Why Don't You Do Right?

"'If it's Acme, it's a gasser.'" She shrugged, quoting her husband's company motto. "Pleasure to meet you." She grabbed Eddie's hand and shocked him. "The hand buzzer. Still our biggest seller." She chuckled.

Eddie rolled his eyes and sat down at a table with (Y/n). A waiter came over and held up a menu for them.

"Scotch on the rocks." He ordered. The waiter nodded and walked away. "And I mean ice!" He called after him.

(Y/n) shrugged off her overcoat, revealing her outfit. It was a simple (f/c) dress with straps that hugged her body, and fell just above her knees.

Eddie's eyes widened when he saw her outfit of choice. "What the hell are you wearing?"

"It's a dress Uncle Eddie." (Y/n) told him, placing her coat on the back of her chair.

"That's not a dress. That's short enough to be a bathing suit." He scolded.

(Y/n) rolled her eyes. "I'm not a child anymore Uncle Eddie. And besides, I think I might be wearing the most modest outfit in this room."

The Toon girl had a point. Several of the women in the room were wearing dresses that were tighter, shorter, sparklier and way more low cut than hers, and a lot of them also had heels that were taller than hers, and their hairstyles were big and poofy, and looked like they had been dunked in hairspray, and their faces were caked in several layers of makeup. Eddie saw her point and didn't argue, but he still glanced at her outfit in disapproval.

Daffy and Donald's act ended with Donald shooting Daffy's piano with a cannon, and the two got pulled away by hooks and the curtains closed.

The audience applauded and cheered for their performance, especially Marion. Eddie just rested his cheek in his palm, and (Y/n) politely clapped at the act.

"Those ducks are hilarious. They can never finish an act!" Marion cackled.

The waiter came back with Eddie's drink, and he was about to take a sip, when he noticed there were rocks in it.

"Toons." He muttered.

"Cigars? Cigarettes? Eddie Valiant!" A voice called.

Eddie turned and saw Betty Boop holding a tray of smokes.

Eddie's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Betty?"

"Long time no see." She winked.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Work's been kinda slow since cartoons went to color. But I still got it Eddie. Boop Boop Be-Doop, Boop!"

"Yeah, you still got it, Betty." Eddie agreed.

Betty gasped when she saw (Y/n). "Oh my goodness, is that (Y/n)?! I haven't seen you since you was a little tyke. How you doing hon?"

(Y/n) smiled at her fellow Toon, and stood up to hug her. "I'm doing good Betty."

Just then, the lights dimmed and all the women in the club rushed towards the stage and started clapping and whistling.

Especially Marion Acme, who clapped the fastest and started spraying perfume on her neck.

"What's with her?" (Y/n) asked.
