AUTHORS E-MAIL ADDRESS: JJURRENS@ILCC.CC.IA.US (address valid until May of 1996) Transfer Student by Jeremy J. Jurrens The camera opens to the inside of a junkyard, quickly the view moves out into the street, it is nighttime. It moves down the street in a hover mode, we see a night jogger on the sidewalk. The view heads for the jogger, who notices the thing coming after him, he takes off running from it. The thing chases him down the street, he keeps looking over his shoulder with a look of surprise on his face, and ends up running into a telephone pole. Giggling is heard, followed by a, "Shhhhh!" that reduces the giggling to a slight murmur. The view zooms out into Acme Forest. The thing, whatever it is, weaves in and out between trees, finally coming to a hollow tree stump under a basketball hoop. It plunges down the hole in the stump to an underground burrow. Heading for a door's keyhole, it pushes through to the bedroom of Buster Bunny. The view looms over Buster to show him sucking on his thumb in his sleep. "Ewww, like he's still on the formula, Babs." the voice is that of Shirley the Loon. A cut to the inside of Fifi's pink Cadillac, Babs, Fifi, and Shirley all sit around a table, one of Shirley's crystal balls is in the center with Buster being shown in it. Shirley and Fifi have broke out laughing while Babs only giggles saying to herself, "I've got to talk to that boy about that." The laughing subsides and Shirley speaks, "Ok, Ok, like it's my turn now. Lets like check up on a certain green duck." The view speeds out of Buster's burrow and heads quickly to the marshes and Plucky's house. Coming in from one of the upper windows to Plucky's bedroom, a large mass looking like a mountain is in the center of his bed. Closer viewing of this reveals that Plucky is sleeping with his butt three feet in the air, he mumbles to himself, "Money! Power! Fame!" moaning after each word. Babs and Fifi now break out laughing, "Looks like he's enjoying himself!" Shirley has a look of disgust on her face and joins the laughter. After some time it subsides but resumes each time they look back at the ball, finally Shirley breaks the trance. Shirley, "Ok, like Feef, who would you like to see?" Fifi, "Non, vous would not want to go zhere." Babs, "Oh come on Fifi, we won't laugh at whoever you pick." Shirley, "Yeah, like no one around here can see my floating eye." Fifi, "Really? Oui? OK, moi would like to zee Alex in bed." Babs and Shirley, "I bet you would!" Fifi looks at them sternly. Fifi, "Vous are, how do you say, dirty minded." starts to scold them, "That ez for le second date." they all burst into laughter. Shirley, "Like why did you have a problem with that, Feef? I though you were going to want to see that boy skunk in computer animation class that moved to Nigeria. That would-be a mondo drain on my powers." Fifi, "Well, Je thought since monsiour Alex had le powers too, vous would-be nervous about et." Shirley, "Oh Fifi, like when our kind is asleep we are as helpless as babes or some junk, and you know it takes time for boys to like wake up anyway." The view in the ball zooms out of Plucky's house and straight up in the air at Shirley's command. From high above Acme Acres the dark and quiet Looniversity is seen, the eye flys south over the lighted city of Acme Acres. Then a few miles past and it is over the wastelands, lands made from the fallout of Alex's Supernova spell, finally, it is over the Glade. The Glade was created by Alex when he returned to the ruins of the Lost Woods. It is a circular plateau twenty-two miles in diameter, surrounded by a mile wide bottomless pit. The entire area is covered with a thick growth of lush trees. Alex created all this in one day, he quickly filled it full with creatures of fantasy and science fiction, making it a paradise for anyone with an imagination or a taste for adventure. The eye flys to the exact center of the Glade, there the floating palace of Alex is located, his home. A huge circular island more then three miles across that floats a mile above the ground. On top of this was made a wall in the shape of an octagon, with a tower at each point, the walls and towers are made from pure white marble. Inside this amazing structure in the large courtyard was built a huge laboratory along the south wall, scientists from the world around come to Acme Acres to work in this splendid facility. An enormous library is to the west, with the most advance information tools available today as well as the next ten years, a gigantic array of antenna, microwave dishes, and satellite dishes are to the east, used to receive and transmit huge sums of information around the world. Next to this array is the huge faculty for the hundred or so robotic servants that tend the structures and the people in it. The very center holds the living quarters, the base of which is the grand hall, a one mile square building. Above is a dining and social hall which on top of sits Alex's quarters, all is supported by a huge crystal, a solid diamond a mile thick tinged blue, Shirley explains to her friends. The eye flys into the dining hall through a window, past huge tables that could seat hundreds, recreation rooms and to the exact center, a circular room with a grand staircase leading up to Alex's quarters. On the wall of this room is kept the Deed of Acme Acres, now under glass and signed by Alex. The eye flys up the staircase, down a hall past doors to a huge set of double doors of oak with gold and silver trim. The eye once again squeezes through a keyhole into the room, inside is a king-size bed with Alex's form in the center. Curtains drape slightly around it, hung up by wood pillars at the corners, Alex is holding a silken pillow and has the side of his face buried deep in it. Fifi, "Oooh la la, ez monsiour not dreamy?" Babs, "Fifi," Fifi looks at Babs with that dreamy look that says, "He is my love and life." Babs shudders, looks at Shirley who whispers, "Tell me later." and then tells Fifi to, "Never mind." Shirley, "Like Fifi, would you like to touch him?" Fifi, "Would moi? Je would die to!" Shirley grins and mouths, "Watch this!" reaches her hand into the crystal ball. On the other side of Acme Acres, a disembodied hand of Shirley's materializes in Alex's bedroom. It reaches down and pulls the sheets back slowly, not disturbing him, until the entire body of Alex is exposed. She pulls her hand back through to a Fifi who has dropped her mouth on the floor. Shirley motions to Fifi to reach through herself, Fifi complies immediately and dives her hand into the ball. Babs is looking at Shirley with a stern look on her face, Shirley doesn't meet her gaze, too concerned on what Fifi is doing on the other side. In Alex's bedroom, Fifi is running her hand up the length of Alex's body, from the tip of his tail to his head. Her heart is beating loudly in her head, she had touched other boy skunks in this manner before, although most of them were struggling in her tail at the time, never had one been this relaxed to her touch. She begins to breath deeply, trying to calm herself with the rush of adrenaline in her system, she moves her hand to his cheek. Alex moans a little, then begins to rub his face against the hand, Fifi is exposed to an extreme feel of his fur as well as the cheek beneath it. Shirley suddenly pulls Fifi's hand out of the sphere, just in time before Alex brings his hand up to grasp Fifi's, his eyes begin to open. Shirley yells one command and the view spins wildly in the crystal ball, soon it is seen the eye is returning to Shirley back at the junkyard. Shirley, "That was like close." Fifi, "What do vous mean? Je thought no one could zee vous eye." Shirley, "Yeah, but like Alex's mondo powers would immediately recognize and see my eye. We were like breaking and entering or some junk on him. I like don't like want to explain to him what we were doing there." Babs yawns, attempting to bring the night to a close, looks at her watch, "Whoa! It's midnight already," actually it was 11:30 and she usually stayed up to 2:00 with her friends, "I better get home so I don't sleep in Elmer's class again, more then usual anyway." Shirley, "You're right Babs, I like need to get some sleep to recharge my powers anyway." struggles a yawn. From the looks of it, Fifi could run the hundred yard dash in two seconds, but she agrees with her friends, convinced they are tired. A force ruffles the curtains on Fifi's windows, at another command from Shirley a glowing eyeball, blinking and everything, materializes in the room. Shirley pulls out a container full of saline solution, unscrews the top and commands the eye again, it zooms and splashes happily into the solution, she replaces the cover. Shirley quickly gathers her things while Fifi and Babs put away the table and remove the pillows they sat on. Babs and Shirley say their good-byes and exit the abandoned Cadillac, Fifi stands for awhile. Fifi, "Ohhh!" performs a swoon, "Je touched monsiour and monsiour tried to touch moi. Monsiour will soon be, how do you say, wrapped around mois finger." she prances away and prepares herself for bed. Outside, Babs and Shirley heard every word, a silent exchange takes place and Babs leads Shirley outside the junkyard. Once outside and out of Fifi's earshot Babs addresses Shirley. Babs, "I don't want to sound like a preacher, Shirley, but." grabs Shirley by the shoulders, "Why the heck did you do that!?" Shirley, "I like felt sorry for her Babs, like she and Hamton just mondo split and she's never had a guy go out with her for any amount of time. I like thought this would ease that loneliness." Babs, "Ease? More like throwing a ton of dynamite on a bonfire. You know how she is about love, Shirley, this probably does as much damage as a porcupine in a tissue paper factory." Shirley, "But, Babs, she was like so lonely and depressed before she saw Alex. She tried to hid it by having me read her future, but I keep sensing despair from her. Also, I can't like read the future anyway, I lied about it to cheer her up." Babs begins to speak but Shirley continues, cutting her off, "I thought that the boy skunk in computer animation class would finally soften to her advances. He like went the way of the dinosaurs and moved to Nigeria because of her." Babs, "But your trying to get her on Alex now. Are you nuts?" Shirley, "Like why am I nuts? They would-be perfect together, he can give her anything she wants and she can give him a relationship." Babs, "Shirley, what is the color of the sky in that little world of yours? There's just one problem, he hasn't left his palace since he created it. I've heard rumors that he is such a brain he may never leave the company of his genius guests." Shirley, "Babs, like what's wrong with trying to get them together? I mean there's no one that has ever stuck with Fifi. Hamton finally got feed up dating a girl that was always like chasing after the next train that came into town, I mean fer sure. Her like fanboys always find her so possessive, and she's like got such a jealous streak that the last fanboy that looked at another girl when with her almost died of asphyxiation." Babs, "You know Shirl, this suddenly sounds like a real bad soap opera." she reaches out and knocks on my monitor, "Hey Jeremy, what are you trying to make this show into anyway? A magnet for overweight women who sit home watching Oprah and eating Snack-ens?" Jeremy, "Look, I'm trying to develop what is called a plotline, sorry about getting it so thick but I am new at this. OK? Can we please continue? Don't worry though, I'll try to make it as funny as I can." Babs and Shirley look at each other, shrug their shoulders. What can they do? The shows no longer running and they only live in fan-fiction now. Babs, "Also, it's impossible to get them together, Alex surrounded the Glade with that God awful forcefield that alters toon physics, so only humans can get through." Shirley, "True, but like Babs I got a plan." Babs, "And that is?" Shirley, "I like got it all figured out and junk. We need Bugs to throw a mega grand party." Babs, "A party?" Shirley, "Yeah, but like he needs to invite only the big wigs of Acme Acres and junk. With Alex like the owner of Acme Acres he'll have to come to it." Babs, "Well, that gets Alex out of the Glade, but what about Fifi getting close to him and not driving him away?" Shirley, "That is like up to us. We need to reprogram her or some junk from being so aggressive." screams of "Noooooo!" come from drooling Fifi fanboys out there, "Make her like able to wrap him around her finger." Babs, "Something next to impossible, but worth a try." The two head home, plans of how to reeducate Fifi, the master of love, tumbling in their heads. Sooooo, dawn rose over Acme Acres, Foghorn Leghorn crowed at its coming, and Henry Chicken Hawk almost, but not quite, got him into a frying pan. The lights of Acme Loo begin to hum as they take the juice piped into them. Across Acme Acres another humming is taking place, that of Alex's powers being awakened. Being such a powerful toon does have its disadvantages, every time Alex comes out of unconsciencesness, lightning crackles around his entire body as his powers come on-line. As a result, the bed and bedsheets are fried to a crisp black. He gets up, snaps his fingers, and the whole thing is repaired in an instant. He is in the nude, since I don't know any skunks that wear cloths for any amount of time, and begins to stretch to get his blood flowing. It is an awesome sight, his main body is a build that many male toons would die to have, but his tail brings the most awe. Being four times his body length and having five times the mass of his body, it would dwarf Fifi's by a long shot. He stretches out his entire body in one long wave that starts from the tip of his tail and ends at the tip of his nose. He smacks his lips together tasting the collection of morning mucus, and puts his hand to his cheek, as if remembering something. The doors to Alex's room were built for the master's protection, being so massive they can only be opened by mechanical means, or magic. With a wave of Alex's hand the doors part, he walks down the hall to a room who's door is open and light is within. Inside, a table has been set by servants with his breakfast, four servants stand at the corners of the table awaiting his commands. The meal is composed of, (brace yourself) eggs, French toast, ham, orange juice and milk, and a large dose of multivitamins. Note to those of you who think Alex is eating the equivalent of, Foghorn's children and Hamton's family, Alex's palace is so advanced that food is replicated the same way as on Star Trek. In other words, no animals were killed to feed him! How's that for political correctness? Finishing the meal Alex takes a quick shower, shaves,(you guess how) and heads downstairs to tend to his noble prize winning guests. At the bottom the grand staircase, the Deed greets him. Deed, "Good morning Alex, did the master of all he sees sleep well." Alex, "Sort of, I had the strangest dream though." Deed, "And that is?" Alex, "I dreamt that I was eating popcorn in an ocean, then suddenly was washed out of the ocean and on a shore freezing. Then I had the strangest feeling of four little men running up my tail to my cheek and trying the eat the popcorn out of my mouth." Deed, "I think you've got cabin fever, Alex." Alex, "I do not have cabin fever!" Deed, "Yes, you do, Alex, your showing all the signs of it," a servant walks up and asks Alex a question, "crankiness," At that point, Alex promptly grabs the servant and throws him at the wall, splattering him all over it,(Don't worry, Alex's servants are like the T-1000 of T2) and says, "Don't bother me when I'm talking!" Deed, "headaches," Alex, "And could you please not splatter so loudly next time?" holding his head. Deed, "cold shakes," Alex, "Why didn't I wear cloths today?" shivering. Deed, "paranoia," Alex, "You know, I think someone was here last night." sniffs the air for something. Deed, "and finally lapses in memory." Alex, "What were we just talking about?" Deed, "You need to go out for awhile, Alex, you've cooped yourself up here for a month. If you get anymore cabin fever we could tear you apart and make telephone poles out of you." Alex, "Maybe your right, I could go down and participate in the dragon throwing games down below." Deed, "No, Alex, you need to leave the Glade entirely, this place has become a prison for you, I've noticed it. You've been looking past the trees and the wasteland longer and longer each day. It's time you give yourself a break from all this studying and discovering. Go explore the Acme forest for awhile, it will do you a world of good." Alex, "But, who will take care of the palace and see to my guests?" Deed, "Most your guests go off on a tangent when they get here, leaving you to look over their shoulders while they use your equipment. You have hundreds of servants tending the castle everyday, and there hasn't been anything close to an alien invasion that we would need you for." Alex, "Perhaps you're right, I haven't even seen the Acme forest and maybe I could even visit the Big AL. In fact, I think I'll leave right now." is becoming excited by the way his tail waves, "This might do me a world of good." he finally bolts down the hallway to the exit before he decides to change his mind. Deed, "And the final symptom, easily persuaded." the Deed's case opens and out floats the Deed. It goes to a window and looks to see Alex float off the island and fly over the Glade. It waits until Alex is out of sight, then turns to the servants. Deed, "OK, he's gone. Lets party!" the entire palace soon throbs with the bass from a huge stereo. Gunshots are heard as one side of the island has been turned into a clay pigeon shooting range by the servants. The grand hall has been turned into the world's largest indoor swimming pool combination hockey rink.(Try to figure that one out!) Deed, "I just hope Alex doesn't teleport back home." Back at the Big AL, it's transfer student day. The bunch of new students is one of the most ugly looking toons that were ever drawn. "None of these guys are star material." Buster thinks to himself. A collection of twelve new transfer students stand out in front of the Acme Loo, they are a collection from humans to lab rats, all are looking at their guides for the day, Buster, Plucky, and Hamton. Buster, "Hey, Plucky, we're missing someone." Plucky, "What!" looks at the list, "Oh great! Just what I needed this morning, and they said this would only take a half hour." Buster, "Plucky, we volunteered to do this job." Plucky, "Volunteered! Didn't you hear we get three cred....." Buster jabs Plucky in the ribs hard before he can finish. "I'm trying to give them the good guy routine." Buster whispers to Plucky who is holding his side. "Buster," Hamton, who is holding a laptop computer, "I found out who the student is that we're missing. She, is Camry Curvaceous, and there is no report that she wouldn't be here." Buster looks at his friends, then his watch, and gets a look of surprise at the time. "Well, it's getting late." turns to the new students, "Welcome to Acme Looniversity, my name is Buster Bunny, this is Plucky Duck, and the pig with his head in Doom," explosions are heard from the laptop, "is Hamton Pig." Buster continues with the lame transfer student welcome, "We'd like to thank you for selecting Acme Loo as your institution for continued comedic education. Today's agenda will take you on a tour according to your school of comedy. Hamton, will take those majoring in the school of boring sidekicks. Plucky, will take those in the school of annoying characters. I'll be taking those in the school of liberal humor and gags. Please go with your guide, the tour will last until noon." Hamton, "Then we eat!" The group of twelve splits, four go to Hamton, two, a hedgehog and a possum, go to Plucky, the remaining six go with Buster. As the entire group begins to leave, a soft yet strong voice is heard, "Wait! Wait!" turning to the source, everyone's mouth drops. Coming down the walk, a female toon is heading towards the group. A fox,(The animal, not a hot babe) she's wearing a light blue shirt and jeans, both are tight enough so that they show off more curves then thought possible on a toon. She walks in a manner that makes Buster wonder if she is walking like that to just tease the guys. She continues towards the group, grinning, knowing and seeing that she is making many mouths moist at her appearance. She makes her way to be in front of Buster. "You must be the one in charge here," her voice is a mixed with admiration and mockery, "my name is Camry. I hope I'm not too late." She flutters her long lashes at Buster with a look of innocence mixed with a smile that says, "Please don't punish me." Buster, "Dah, Dah, No! We were just beginning to leave Camry. Your in the, the, the," is struggling with the list of students and their schools of study. Plucky, "Gee, don't you just hate it when the person in charge can't get his act together?" Buster looks up and gives Plucky a dirty look, "I'm Plucky Duck, probably the smartest toon around here." Camry, "With a bill like that, I'm sure you get A LOT of attention." caresses Plucky on the underside of his bill that makes him melt like ice cream. Camry only smiles at the puddle, making Plucky evaporate into steam rapidly. Hamton, "She's going into the school of liberal jokes and gags Buster. I told you a computer would-be quicker then paper." Camry, "A computer whiz, I'll have to remember that about you." she flutters her eyes at Hamton, and waves her tail to her right, noticing Hamton's sudden interest in it. "So you like my tail, I'll definitely have to make a note of that." Camry thinks to herself, waves it again and gives Hamton a wink that sends shivers down his spine. Camry, "So, which one of you three will be taking me,(pause) out on campus today?" Buster begins to speak, but Plucky jumps in front of him, "I'll be happy to take you on a personal tour." "Hey! Your our guide!" the hedgehog and possum yell out. Camry, "As much as I would appreciate a personal tour, Plucky," is beginning to caress his cheek, "I think Buster is my guide for the day." runs her finger down the side of his bill, "I'll take a rain check on it though." Plucky erupts into a cloud of steam from being so hot. "Well, Buster," offers her arm to him, "lead us away." Buster takes her arm, grits his teeth knowing if Babs sees him with this fox he's dead meat. Soon, the way she is touching his hand makes him forget about the consequences for it. The groups split, Plucky and Hamton both have a look of jealousy on their faces. Inside of the big AL, Babs and Shirley are making their way to Bugs's office, the two chatter on ideas. Shirley, "Like maybe would could tell him we want to meet all the important people around. Having like matured and wanting to mondo get in good with the people on top." Babs, "Are you kidding Shirley? Bugs gets one whiff of that and were liable to be thrown into a asylum." Babs notices a poster plastered on the wall behind Shirley, "Well, how convenient." The poster behind Shirley states clearly for all, "DANCE! Friday in the gym! $3.00 for singles, $5.00 for pairs. Married couples get in free.(You've paid enough!)" Babs, "Looks like Buster chickened out on me again." whirls into a horse trainer outfit, whip in hand, "Looks like I'm going to have to teach that stud a lesson." Shirley, "Like I don't think so Babsie, look." points down the hall and there, putting up the posters, is a tortoise around the age of six million or so. He is slowly pulling out another, which Babs quickly grabs from him. The tortoise stands for a moment, then clutches his heart in pain, too much excitement for one lifetime. Babs views the poster for a moment, "Darn! It's only a general invitation to the public, we've only got half the problem solved. Shirley, takes and slaps herself on the forehead, "Why didn't I mondo think about it before?" grabs Babs, now very excited, "Alex, is owner of Acme Acres right?" Babs, looking concerned about Shirley's sudden hyperactivity, "Yeah, is there a point to this?" Shirley, "Well, we like tell Bugs we want Alex to be like there." Babs, "Why would we want that?" Shirley, "Like quit working against me, Babs, it's annoying." Babs, "Sorry, Shirl." Shirley, "Well, that like gives us an excuse to invite all the bigwigs or some junk. Like Bugs understands money, students get like in free while like we hock all the right studmuffins." Babs, "Shirley, that's the lamest story I have ever heard." Shirley folds her arms in a look that says, "You got a better idea pink-ears!" Babs, "I like it! I like it! Just one question, why would they come to see Alex?" Shirley, "Like, I don't know! I'm making this up as I go! The only alternative to this is like....." Shirley's mouth drops as the idea has clicked into her new age brain. Babs, "Shirly? Yoo hoo! Shirl?" is waving her hand in front of Shirley's nondescriptant face. Shirley, snapping out of it, "BABS!" grabs the pink-eared bunny harder this time, "You've got to talk to Buster! Buster's like the key to this or some junk!" Babs, "What? Have you finally lost it, Shirl?" Shirley, "Like I just remembered something! How could I like be so mondo dense and stuff?" Babs looks at the camera mouthing, "I know how she could be." Shirley, "Not funny, Babs! Anyway, like Alex has been keeping some sort of mondo telepathic link on Buster. He wants to like prove a point or some junk dealing with the tests Buster took." Babs, "You mean he's still tormenting Buster with those tests. I'm going to kill that self- appointed deity!" Shirley, "Like calm down, Babs, he's only keeping his eye on him, or should I like say his mind on him." Babs, "How is that going to get Alex to the dance?" Shirley, "Easy, Alex like respects Buster or some junk, and like with the mondo energy link I sense between the two I think they actually may have a friendship between them." Babs, "You mean Busters been cheating on me with another man!" Shirley, "Like get real, Babs, anyway it seems we don't even need Bugs at all." Babs, "We still have a bigger problem then that to deal with, Shirl." Shirley, "Like what it that, Babs?" Babs spins into an aristocrat teacher on proper etiquette, "We have to show a young tom-girl proper etiquette around boys." spins back to her normal form, "What day is today anyway?" Shirley, "Like Friday." Babs looks at Shirley for a moment, then breaks into her insane laughter routine, taking off down the hall towards the tortoise. Babs stops, grabs the entire bag of posters, and begins to run down the hall throwing out posters like some mad seedier, laughing the whole time. The tortoise is shaking badly now, nerves totally shot. Shirley, "Well, like that solves the problem of getting the whole school to the dance." On the other side of the school, Buster is leading his small group of transfer students to the Looniversity chemistry lab. Buster cringes at the sight of Babs coming down the hall, throwing out paper like an environmentalist gone mad. Buster, "I'm dead." Camry, "Who is that nut?" Buster, "My girlfriend." he still has his arm around Camry's, and is struggling to get free. Camry only grips it tighter for a moment, then lets go, Buster just smiles at Babs, trying to look like nothing happened. Babs is too insane with the impossible job of reeducating Fifi in one afternoon that Buster could have been making out with Camry and she wouldn't have noticed. In fact, she jumps on top of Buster's head, still giggling and laughing insanely, then shatters the entire group. She pauses for only a moment, to tie a poster around a dog's head, then heads down the hall still insane and spreading posters everywhere. The members of the group pick up the posters, "A dance, how nice and convenient. Now we can meet all our new classmates and maybe get a date. I'm definitely not thanking that insane bunny for it though." Camry, "You have a strange taste in women, Buster." Buster, "Yeah, ain't it cool!" grins to Camry, who raises her eyebrows and gives Buster a look. The remainder of the morning is an average one, as average as it gets around Acme Loo. Buster's tour of the Chem Lab is interesting, the high point being the instant dodo formula Marvin the Martin has come up with. Buster, "That's great, Marvin! Now Gogo's species won't go extinct." Marvin, "Yes, but there is one problem with it." Buster, "And what's that?" the dodo suddenly decomposes into a puddle of slag. Marvin, "Ooooh! Delays, delays." he trots off to the back of the lab mumbling, "Maybe Vaseline as a base element would stabilize it." Plucky is doing even worse with his group, trying to show off that a duck's bill actually decomposes differently when shot by a shotgun then by electrocution. The hedgehog didn't believe him and dared him to do it, not bad for a first year transfer student. Hamton's group, well, lets not get into Hamton's group right now. All in all the day goes by, at the end the groups split at lunch time, Camry gives Buster one peck on the cheek and takes off. Buster thinks nothing of it, until he gets a drink at the water fountain and notices a little, "Gift" Camry gave him in his reflection. Frantically he scrubs his face with water to get rid of the, "Gift" but only manages to dye his cheek fur pink. Babs appears at the end of the hall, that sends Buster in to an insane scrubbing routine, water flies everywhere. Babs, "Buster, what are you doing?" Buster, "Oh,(splash, scrub) nothing!" he throws some more water on his face and is kicking the fountain for more pressure. Babs is getting closer and looking at the blue boy with concern, by the time she reaches him he is soaked thoroughly and has managed to get rid of any trace of the, "Gift" on his cheek. Babs, "Buster, all you are right?" Buster, "Yeah, I was just cooling off and," notices the poster attached to her shirt, "getting the courage to ask you to the dance tonight." Babs spins into a newsanchor outfit, "You've heard it her first, folks! Buster Bunny just asked Babs Bunny out as soon as he heard about a dance." spins into a Madonna outfit, "You know, Blue Boy, a girl might think your desperate to get a date tonight." grabs the base of his ears and rings all the water out to the tips. Buster, "Is it a yes or a no, Babsie?" Babs, "What do you think?" Buster, "Is seven o'clock early enough?" Babs, spins into a John Wayne impression "Fine, pilgrim, but lets head to the cafeteria for some grub." Babs starts off down the hall, but Buster grabs her wrist, flinging water in her general direction, "What are you talking about, Babs? We're in college now, classes are done for both of us at noon. Lets head for the Weenie Burger." Babs, "Since when are we in college?" Buster, "Since the writer decided to have us grow up and go to one." Babs, "Then why haven't you asked me the big question yet?" Buster, "Don't push it, Babs!" The two walk down the hall to the exit, Buster has dried off after walking off-screen. Babs, "Buster, I have an itty bitty favor to ask." Buster, "Shoot!" Babs, "Well," begins to talk like an auctioneer, "Shirley says you've had a telepathic link with Alex since the tests! Ho! And we're trying to get him to go with Fifi since he's the only skunk around that hasn't met her! Hey! Shirley thinks you can get Alex to the dance by tonight!" Buster, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Why do you want Alex and Fifi to get together in the first place. I think he's too creepy of a character for her." Babs, "Oh, Shirley is playing mother hen on Fifi and thinks this will cheer her up." Buster, "What makes you think he'll want to go out with her?" Babs, "We got that covered, we just need you to get Alex there." Buster, "I don't know, Babs, Alex is one shady character and powerful on top of that." Babs is getting an agitated look on her face, "I'll see what I can do! Jeesh!" The two walk outside, and see the chaos that has consumed the entire school. Everybody, I mean everybody, has skipped out of classes and is trying to find a date for the dance tonight. News travels fast when you got a mad bunny spreading it, that and a telepathic loon. In the chaos the two bunnies see there is some order, couples form quickly giving testimony to set dates. All seem to be having luck, even Elmyra, now that's scary! All that is except for a certain skunkette, Fifi La Fume. She is now chasing after a cat that through some freak of nature was born with a white stripe down his back. Fifi, "But monsiour! Not only ez le dance good for vous. It ez also economical!" is pointing to the $5.00 a couple deal on the poster she is holding. The cat doesn't look convinced and keeps on running. Babs spots Shirley, and whistles at her, she floats up to Babs and Buster in meditation. Shirley, "Like what is it, Babs?" Babs, "We got a lot of work to do this afternoon, Shirley," points at Fifi, "we better catch her and get started before she puts another one in a coma." The two take off after Fifi's trail of destruction from her fumes disintegrating the grass and any other living matter in her wake. Plucky comes running up to Buster, very excited, "Buster! Shirley actually said yes to me the first time about going to the dance!" Fowlmouth at bottom of steps, "Dadgumit, Plucky! The first fragging time I could get dadgum lucky with Shirley! And what freaking you do! Get dadgum lucky!" Plucky takes and sticks his tongue out at Fowlmouth, getting him more agitated. Fowlmouth heads up the steps yelling, "You want a dadgum fight! I'LL TAKE YOU'RE DADGUM TONGUE AND SHOVE IT SO FAR DOWN YOUR FREAKING THROAT THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO....." Buster, "Hey! Hey!" does his best to keep the pair apart, "Fowlmouth, Plucky asked first and got an answer." Fowlmouth, "Dadgumit! It's not biting fair! I mean all the dadgum good freaking babes are taken." Buster, "I know a good looking fox of a transfer student that doesn't have a date." Fowlmouth, "You mean her dadgum feathers are kicking?" Buster, "No, she's a fox Fowlmouth." Fowlmouth, "DADGUM! I never went with a dadgum fox before. Hmmmm." walks off considering this. Buster, "Just tell her I sent you. And her name's Camry!" Fowlmouth clicks his heels for the first time of his life and takes off. "That should get me even with her." Buster thinks while rubbing his cheek. Plucky, "So, Buster, what do you got planned for the afternoon?" Buster, "Well, first I want to go to the Weenie Burger and get something to eat. You want to come?" Plucky, "You buying?" Buster, "Sure." Plucky, "I'm coming." Later on at Shirley's house, about twenty minutes later, Babs and Shirley work fast when they pull together. A white screen, a chalkboard, Babs, Shirley, Fifi, and Calamity, who is in the back of the room looking very agitated about being here, are inside. Babs is decked out as a teacher, and is now looking intently at her pupil, Fifi La Fume. Babs, "Miss La Fume, do you know why you are here?" Fifi, "Because vous and Shirley tied moi up and dragged moi here." Babs, "No Miss La Fume, you are here because Shirley and I are going to teach you the American Girls Guide to Getting Guys." she holds up the book that is only ten pages in length. Fifi, "Non, non, zes must be a mistake. Moi knows everything about getting ze guys," stands up to walk out, "so je will be going now to look for le date tonight." Shirley sits her back down. Babs chews on the yard stick she is holding, trying to decide how to break this gently to Fifi. Flattery, "Yes, we know you have all the great French techniques on how to snare guys, but in America, like a different game, there are different rules. We want you to have every advantage on how to snare guys over here." Fifi's pupils widen in intense interest, not thinking why Babs hadn't told her years sooner about this, and so she settles down to listen. Babs opens the book to the first page, a huge picture covering half the page is on it with writing in large style, she pages through the book at the pictures. Then tosses it in the corner, then writes, "Rule #1" on the chalkboard. Babs, "Rule #1 in America is the approach. In America we do not run after boys yelling." whirls into a perfect Fifi impression, "Come back my little pepperoni of passion! When I find vous I will give you a prize!" Shirley giggles a little, Calamity is shaking, memories of past experiences tumbling through his mind. Babs, "Here in America we use a technique called hook, line, and sinker. We save the energy of chasing for fun and more interesting things, like shopping. Guys hate to be with a women who is easy to get, thinking they can at any time pick her up for a date like oranges on a store shelf." Babs turns to the chalkboard draws a can with Fifi on the label, "Now, what we want to do is turn this," points at the drawing with the yardstick, "to this" The lights in the room dim and a slide projector clicks on in the back. On the white screen appears a picture of Fifi, looking familiarly like a precious gemstone. What appears to be a whole city of men are fighting with each other over her in the picture. With a motion from Babs, the lights in the room return to normal. Fifi, is now sitting more interested, her eyes as large as dinner plates. Babs, "In order to do this, it leads us to Rule #2" she writes some more, "Rule #2, use tissues, padding, make-up, and space age clothing generously were needed." Fifi, "Tissues? Why would moi use tissues?" Shirley, "Like have you ever heard of a busty female toon in a family show?" Fifi, "Je zee." The rest precedes like clockwork, Babs and Shirley showing Fifi all aspects of female attraction. Uses of make-up, the wonders of padding, spandex, tummy tuckers, facial waxing,(figure that one out) and as Fifi called it, "Ze wonder bra!" Shirley, looking at watch, "Like Babs, we better like mondo hurry," points at watch, "we're running out of time." Babs, "Ok, Ok, we'll cover flirting, snagging, and enslaving in one move." whistles at Calamity, who gets up intensely nervous, "Fifi, pretend that Calamity is a hot looking skunk hunk you want to pick up." Calamity gulps, "Now, what do you do to get his attention?" Fifi, looks at Babs dubiously, "Well, moi would approach slowly, in order not to scare off zee ripe fruit of passion." walks softly towards Calamity, who is looking at Fifi as if she is one of the many boulders that have fallen on him, "Zen, while approaching moi would make sure to show off all of ze best curves," Calamity notices, "Zen getting closer je would show beaucoup of the, how do you say, le goods." Fifi moves now with emphasized movements, hinting, but not totally giving away what is beneath her fur. Calamity isn't scared of her now, if fact, has begun to drool a little and eyes are focused on her tail. She waves it, giving away just what she can do with that tail. Fifi, "Zen, when moi gets in range, je would-begin ze attack." eyes lock and focus on Calamity, "Bonjour monsiour Calamity, are vous happy to zee moi? Our, eez zat a present vous has for moi?" flashes her eyebrows at him. Calamity turns beat red and appears uncomfortable about something. Shirley, "Like, wow Fifi! How could you like not get a guy with that mega mondo routine?" A lightbulb appears above Babs's head, "I know why!" she grabs Calamity, who has recovered, and takes off to another room. Babs is heard whispering in the other room. Commotion is heard, followed by Babs saying, "Come-on Calamity! We'll double what we're paying you." the noise subsides a little, "Great! Now put this on and hurry! We don't have much time left." Ruffling is heard, Babs walks back into the main room to her friends, she walks up to Fifi. Babs, "OK, let's see how you take the acid-test Fifi." she whistles, in walks Calamity, decked out in a skunk outfit. Fifi, "Oooooooh la la! Mon petite mauvais sujet! Hold me!" she takes off at Calamity, legs pinwheeling in cartoon style. Babs, "Shirley! Get the net!" Shirley, "Like I'm way ahead of you Babsie." It doesn't matter though, Fifi has been chasing guys long before Babs and Shirley ever thought about it. She usually catches them to, whether they wanted to be or not. The net is thrown, but misses its target. Fifi quickly wraps herself, literally, around Calamity, starting an attack of kisses and chemical warfare that no one could withstand. Fifi, "Mon amore, how would vous like to curl up with ze soft plushie tonight?" Calamity holds up a sign saying, "I'm quadrupling my pay!!!" Babs, "Well, back to the drawing board." Meanwhile, back at the Weenie Burger, Buster and Plucky have just finished their lunch. Camry is four tables away from the two, with a scowl on her face looking at Buster. Buster just waves back at her, a big grin on his face. Surrounding Camry, Fowlmouth is saying words that would make a grave digger blush, trying to get Camry to the dance. Arnold is arguing with Furrball, who can only, "MEOW!" back at him over who's taking her. Dizzy and Montana are on the verge of a fight between one another. "Forget it Dizzy, you got Mitzy the last dance!" Dizzy, "It not my fault you don't be lucky." That burns the fuse, and the two begin a rumble on the floor. A ring quickly forms around them, "Kick him in the Jimmy! The tazzer! The tazzer! Zap him! Zap him in the..." someone notices the two rejects, "Hey! What are you two doing here?" Bunkhead, "We got a pass, huh, huh." holds it up to show that a matter of fact he does. Devious, "Are you threatening me?! Don't make me kick your..." Outside the diner, two forms go flying out the door into a dumbster across the street, "That was cool. Ah, huh, huh, huh!" Back inside, Dizzy has won the match, but has to go to the doctor to remove Montana's leg from his teeth and the body attached to it. Arnold has begun pursuit after Furrball, the two make a couple of laps around the tables, then head out the door. Plucky, "So Buster, is this an informal dance, or do we have to rent some tuxes from that insane Taz again." Buster, "Plucky, you banana brain, it's a public dance. There's no way I'm wearing a tux for Mr. John Q. Overalls to see me in. I'm going to try the grunge style this time." Plucky, "Ha, ha, ha! The day you look like Curt Coban, is the day I win the noble prize. So, when are we suppose to pick up the babes?" Buster looks at Plucky disbelieving, "You mean Shirley didn't tell you?" Plucky, "Well, she only said yes, I was so excited I forgot to ask her." Buster chuckles a little, "We're suppose to meet them at the dance, their busy with something about Fifi, Babs told me." Plucky, "Fifi! That girl could get serious with a guy if she stopped smothering her dates to death." Right on cue, the words, "Come back my stinky kitty!" ring out outside the door. Everyone inside looks at the door, which explodes and flies back hitting the order counter. The new trainee, Mohoffis, ducks and shards of glass fall on his back. He jumps up screaming, "The Jews are invading! In the name of Allah I will repel such dogs!" he pulls out an AK-47 from beneath the counter. NOTE: Mohoffis is in no way the average Arabian citizen. In fact, he was born in Quebec under the name, "Mot Moron" but changed his name to, "Mohoffis Moron" because his mother kept calling him Spot. Mohoffis has been suffering from lack of lithium and was only allowed to work under a doctor's consent and I'm only including this because I don't want some Arabian president to put a bounty on my head and have the world of Islam knocking at my door. It is not the Jews that are invading the Weenie Burger though, but Alex Redolence, who comes sliding in up to the counter. He looks towards the doorway at the monster that has chased him into the Weenie Burger, Elmyra Duff. Elmyra, "Come here my taily waily kitty. I'll take you home and give you Meow Mix!" Alex sticks out his tongue and gags. Alex, "I don't know where you went to school, lady, but since when does a cat have a tail with stripes down it and smells like roadkill?" Elmyra, "Just because your not perfect doesn't mean I don't love you." she runs at Alex, grabs him in her arms before he can react, "Now I'll take you home, and love you and squeeze you to pieces. Hee, hee, hee, hee!" Alex struggles in her arms, grits his teeth as Elmyra squeezes him. Alex, "That's it! I'm putting an end to this. Have you ever heard about the second law of thermodynamics?" Elmyra, "Is this a trick question?" Alex, "Let me show you." he gets a grin on his face. For those of you who never took high school chemistry, the second law of thermodynamics stated clearly means this: Energy travels from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. In this case, the high is Alex's power, and the low is Elmyra's empty head. Blue lightning springs from Alex and quickly turns Elmyra into a living neon light. She shakes and rockets into the kitchen of the Weenie Burger. She lands in the grease vat, hollers after about five minutes of having her rear cooked to a crispy brown, and runs out the back. The manager of the Weenie Burger comes out screaming, "Hey, who's going to pay for this? I got a good mind to call the cops on you kid!" Alex, "Keep your panty-hose on, and I know you wear them." Manager, "Who told you that?" Alex just ignores him, snaps his fingers, the door and glass from the doorway go into reverse and fly back onto their hinges. The manager drops his jaw, pulls it back and turns walking back to the kitchen mumbling, "Dang toons. Should have stayed in Bosnia were it's quiet." Camry jumps up, knocking Fowlmouth off her shoulder, and prances up to Alex. She is looking at him with a ball and chain look in her eyes. Camry, "Good afternoon, Alex, you are Alex Redolence, the owner of Acme Acres are you not?" Alex, "I am, who wants to know?" Camry, "Pardon me, I am Camry Curvaceous, but you can call me friend." she moves closer to him. Alex makes a curve move and avoids her advance, she tumbles forward, expecting to find a solid body not air in her way. Buster, "Alex, over here." he spots were Buster is, and walks over to him and Plucky, Camry behind him. He comes to the edge of the table, makes a motion with his hand that sends a chair flying across the room that quickly slides up behind him. Everyone is looking at Alex with awe, having heard about him a month ago but not believing such a creature existed. Alex, "Buster, the one who should have ownership of Acme Acres instead of me." Buster, "Hey, don't hate me just because I'm a rabbit. Anyway, to business, are you going to attend the dance tonight." Alex, "A dance! Their not going to play that lame theme music all night are they?" Plucky, "Heck no! We hired a real cool band with an awesome lead singer." Buster, "That is, if you think Plucky singing with Dizzy, Furrball, and Calamity as the band is cool." Alex looks at Buster with a disbelieving look. Alex, "Your going to let that duck sing!" Buster, "Hey, I'm a lousy singer." Camry, "And who will you be going with?" is running her fingers down Alex's arm. Alex, "Not with you, you seem to already have a date with Fowlmouth." with a motion from Alex, Fowlmouth slides next to her, propelled by an unseen force, "Sorry, Camry, but he asked and you accepted before you asked me." Camry, "What! How did you know?" Alex taps his head, "Your mind is very open to being read, Camry. Or, did your studies of me not reveal that?" She looks at Alex, with mixed anger and admiration, then walks off with Fowlmouth in pursuit. Fowlmouth, "Dadgumit! I'm going to get freaking lucky tonight! Woo hoo!" Plucky, "You can read minds like Shirley?" Alex, "Shirley, that intermediate reject from the alchemy academy. She can read minds all right, but I can force thoughts out of people, it's great for finding out who used your car." Plucky, "Oh yeah! Then what do I have planned for tonight?" Alex, "Well, you first plan to lip-sync to Nirvana, then plan on seeing how far down Shirley's throat you can put your tongue. If that works, then you..." Buster, "Ok, Ok, we get the point already." Alex, "Would you like me to find out what you've got planned for tonight, Buster?" grins at him with a sharkish look. Buster, "You wouldn't dare!" Alex, "Your right, I already know too much about you already, Buster, what else is there to know?" Buster is beginning to hate this character. Plucky, "So, you going are not?" Alex, "Attend a dance with generation X'ers. Hmmm, I suppose, but I'll go to it alone. Last dance I went to with a date at my palace was with Medusa. It took us weeks to get rid of the guests." starts talking to air, "Excuse me Ma'am, but we must ask you to drag your date's stone cold body out of here. But we were to be married tomorrow! Boo! Hoo! Hoo!" starts talking to Buster and Plucky again, "Man, I tell you some gorgons are nothing but trouble." Buster, "Yeah, anyway what are you doing for the rest of the afternoon?" Alex, "Well, I have been flying around Acme Acres, seeing who lives here and what they are like. Do you know you have a cat that has more bad luck then a jackhammer in a mirror factory?" Buster and Plucky, "Furrball!" Alex, "You've heard of him then." Plucky, "Furrball, oh the worse case of bad luck he had was with Fifi. Man, you should have seen the look on his face when he realized that she was..." Buster takes and shushes Plucky by shoving twelve ketchup packets in his bill, then squeezing all of them at once. Plucky stands, looking like he has a bad case of mouth rot, and heads for the water fountain. Alex, "Fifi? Who is this Fifi?" Buster, "Umm, well, she's a girl. A pretty good looker who goes to Acme Loo out here. And, and, and, well genius, what else is she?" is talking to Plucky who has returned. Plucky, "Ummmmmm, well, she absolutely hates guys and I think is dipping in that alternative life-style." Buster, "What!" Plucky, "Well, what else do you want me to tell him?" Alex, "You two are trying to hide something from me aren't you?" both shake their heads, "Ok, Ok, I'll wait and find out who she is. Fifi, that's French isn't it?" both nod, "Fifi, Fifi, were have I heard that before?" stares up in thought. Buster, "Anyway, you still haven't answered my question, what are you doing this afternoon?" Alex, "What are you two doing?" Plucky, "Oh, we plan to go over to Hamton's and crash until the dance. His parents are out this week on a fourth honeymoon." Everyone in the Weenie Burger hears that, even the cook way in the back. Everybody, "Party at Hamton's! Bring the slip and slide and some Crisco!" The entire joint clears out in under two seconds, except for the three. Buster, "Nice going, Duck, you remember what happened last time there was a party at Hamton's." Plucky, "You bet I do, let's hurry before all the expensive things are broken." He rushes out the door after the rapidly vanishing mob. Buster, "Great! Well, you ready for a long walk, Alex?" Alex, "Why walk, Buster, when we can," snaps his fingers, the two appear in front of Hamton's house. "teleport" Hamton is inside reading a book, the quiet before the storm. Buster, "Wow! You've got to get me hooked up with your special effects crew." Alex, "No can do, Buster, this is one-hundred percent real. Besides, this show couldn't afford it." down the road, a huge dust cloud is being kicked up by the on-coming party animals. Dizzy is in front screaming, "PARTY! PARTY!" having spit out Montana after hearing the news. The quiet den of Hamton's soon turns into the sounds of World-War III, Hamton of course, protesting the whole time. Plucky fires up the old transmitter, trying to get more babes to the party, but only succeeds to get in touch with Rush Limbaugh. Dizzy starts to play a spin on an old game, eat the donkey. Elmyra grabs Montana and throws him in a closet, "Ewwwww, my huggly wuddly boyfriend wants to play twenty-minutes. Hee, hee, hee, hee!" Montana, "Nooooooooo!" the door slams, but no one wants to know what has happened after twenty minutes. Alex begins the pure mosh pit, head-banging to hard core metal, some of the toons stop to look at this responsible leader all the adults have told them about. More out of fascination and the fact Alex combines somersaults with head-banging. He keeps going full force, until Plucky inadvertently spills the punch on him. He then demonstrates to the party goers the many different ways he can rearrange a duck's body with his powers. Oh! The slip and slide and Crisco? Well, when Hamton threatens to call the cops, the partiers grab him and play greased pig. Seeing how fast he can go from the peak of the roof to the ground on a slip and slide. Hamton usually won't stop until he hits the neighbor's house across the street. It gets real exciting when they try to total cars with him, they don't have any aim though. The time to the dance is quickly eaten up, and Hamton's party dissipates when Dizzy yells, "Mmmphth! #&^%phth#$34 #^*%mmmkith@$ party at the Big A L!" Everyone takes off, except Alex who stays behind with Hamton. Hamton, "What am I going to do! My parents trusted me again, and now their going to come home to a landfill." Alex, "What's wrong with that? You are a pig, Hamton." Hamton gets those insane swirly circles in his eyes and looks at Alex, "This is no time for a species stereotype! Ha! Ha! Ha!" is running around laughing insanely. Elmyra opens the closet door, "Be quiet, dirty piggy! I'm just about to get this cone to melt." Montana, "Ahhhhhhh! Someone call my lawyer! Better yet, call the doctor for a lip transplant." he struggles and gets free of Elmyra. The two go running down the street, away from the insane pig running without purpose. Alex, "Look, if it's that important to you, Hamton," snaps his fingers again, "you can have it back the way it was." the house flashes back to normal. Hamton looks at Alex for a moment, then runs up to him, kissing him on the feet in gratitude. Alex, "Please, please," jumps back away from Hamton, "they are not holy relics, Hamton." Hamton, "Oh thank you, Alex! What can I do to repay you?" Alex, "Forget it, Hamton. I believe everyone should have fun at a party, not be hurt by it. Anyhow, are you going to the dance tonight?" Hamton, "Yes, why do you ask?" Alex, "Because I don't think you want to go as the deli special." points at Hamton's greased figure. Hamton, "Oh no! And I'm suppose to pick up my date in two minutes." cleaning off and looking at his watch. Alex, "Allow me." waves his hand cleaning Hamton and dressing him in a clean shirt and pants, "So who is your date?" Hamton, "A transfer student from Iowa, and one fine piece of pork. Say, do you think you could," whispers in Alex's ear. Alex, "Consider it done, Hamton." waves his tail at the driveway, a beam shoots from it and from the very ground springs up a one-hundred door limousine. The driver is standing outside at the front door, waiting for Hamton. Hamton is excited, and heads for the limo, but Alex catches him in his tail, "Now remember, Hamton, you must be home before six in the morning. Our it will turn into an eggplant again." winks at Hamton, who quickly shakes his hand and thanks him again. The limo and Hamton quickly drive off, leaving Alex by himself, "Well, I better get going and see if I can spice up the party at the Big A L. I'll probably find out who this Fifi girl is too, why can't I get that name out of my mind?" he disappears in a flash. Across Acme Acres, three figures make their way to the Big A L. Babs, Shirley, and Fifi, all decked out in casual dresses. Not formal, but good enough to give hot hints to male on-lookers. Babs, "Now Feef, what do you do at the dance?" Fifi, "Let ze boyz come to moi, and keep le downwind from zhem." Babs, "Works for me, let's head." the three begin their walk towards Acme Loo, hundreds of fan-boys pop up on the sides of the walk, whistling and howling all the way. Shirley, "Like, where did they come from?" Babs, "I think it's a running gag in this episode." Fifi, "Yoo-hoo! Who wants to be mois date tonight?" a flood of her fan-boys dive in a wave from the roadside. All screaming, "ME! ME! ME!" kicking and punching each other in the process. Arnold rushes in front of them, "Get back you puny weakling fan-boys!" picks them up in the hand fulls, throwing them out of the picture. Babs, "Arnold, what are you doing?" Fifi, "Oui, what ze heck are vous doing!?" she is clenching her fists in anger. Arnold, "Sorry, but the top brass say that you are to only get puny, weakling dates at the dance, yeah. Not strong muscle men like me." proceeds to throw the remaining fan-boys off the picture, then walks off screen himself. The trio continues, Fifi still angry about losing some hot dates. About Fifty feet away from the Big A L, behind a large group of trees so no one at the entrance sees it, the trap is sprung. From beneath the Amazing Three's feet, the ground dematerializes. Babs, Fifi, and Shirley all fall down the hole at a dizzying rate, so fast they have no time to scream. They are stopped in their descent by a hard metal floor, the force of the fall almost blacks them out. Metal clangs and the screeching protests of metal on metal ring out, the floor beneath them is soon vibrating, they are moving and descending slowly. Babs, "Is everyone all right?" Fifi, "Oui, but where ez Shirley?" Shirley, "I'm like up here," through the dim light around them, they see Shirley floating above, in meditation style, "and we're trapped or some junk." Looking around, the three see they have been placed inside a huge iron cage, it is now rolling on tracks that lead downward. The bars on the cage are nearly three inches in diameter, Babs grabs two in her hands, "No!" whirls into a Scarlet impression, "My love for Buster will not be contained by iron bars alone!" changes back, "And besides, he promised me a Fifty dollar corsage tonight." The light level increases, "Like, look, or some junk!" Shirley points to where the source of light is coming from, "There's like a light at the end of the tunnel." Through the arch they pass, blinded by the sudden change in light levels, they squint trying to take in their surroundings. The cage comes to a sudden halt, knocking all of them off their feet, they get up cleaning off, now being able to see what they look like. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" echoes in the huge chamber they are in, they look at the source of the maniacal giggling. They see before them, a tall and curvy female fox floating on a disc that bobs up and down a foot above the floor. Behind her, the chamber is full to the brim with machinery that appears to have come straight off a Star Trek set. Millions of lights blink and a dull beeping is heard in the background. With no apparent command or motion, she floats up to the cage looking at the three. "So, the catch of the day has arrived." Babs, "Who are you?" "Oh! So Buster hasn't told you about me yet has he? Does it matter though? If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm the villain in this story. You three will now ask me dumb questions getting me to reveal my plan." Shirley, "Like what do you want with us or some junk?" "See what I mean." she looks at the camera, "Well, let's just cut the chase and I'll explain it all in one pass. Stop me if I use too many big words." Babs, "What's that suppose to mean?" She ignores Babs's question, "My name is Camry Curvaceous, to all I'm the new transfer student at Acme Loo." floats towards the cage, "When in fact, I've been here for years! Creating a huge network of tunnels with my advanced knowledge of mechanics." is now inches away from the cage, looking eye to eye with them. Babs, "(Yawn!) Boy this is boring." Camry, "Your telling me? But, what kind of story would this be if the readers didn't know what plan your going to foul up?" Fifi, "Et would not be romantic if ze heroes had no plan to mess up." Camry, "Shut up, skunk! You for sure are not leaving here alive!" she looks at Fifi with pure anger, her hands clench in fists. Babs jumps between the two, "Hey! Why are you so mad at Fifi?" Camry, "Let's just say she is the only one who can destroy my big plan." laughs a little, "The one that is proceeding now is a cheap write up by a fan-fiction author." Shirley, "Like, he may not be a mondo noble prize winning one, but at least he's like writing about us." Camry, "Are you sure it's a good idea?" grins at the three, "Anyway, if you haven't figured this plot out by now, what are you doing in school? You," points at Babs, "are bait for Buster. Buster will soon find out I have captured you and come to your rescue. With Buster captured then comes Bugs to his aid, and in one swoop," slashes with her hand, "the most famous cartoon rabbit is destroyed." Babs, "You can't do that!" Camry, "And why not?" Babs, "Because, outsmarting Buster is one thing, but Bugs? Don't you think he'll know what your up to?" Camry, "I don't care what Bugs knows about what I'm doing. As long as he comes to my tunnels, he is doomed." Shirley, "You like won't do it anyway, whatever your going to do." Fifi, "Oui, vous do not have the, how do you say? Ze guts!" Camry, "Don't I?" pulls a remote out from behind her back, "Or do I?" pushes a large red button on the remote with her thumb. The cage becomes electrified, conducting through the three toons within it. Back at the dance, which has been condemned by the EPA for noise pollution, more out of Alex bringing his sound system from the palace to it, Buster and Plucky have arrived. Dizzy and Alex are competing to see who can knock their heads off first through head-banging. Buster and Plucky stand at the door, Alex soon spots the odd looking pair. He quickly runs up to greet them. Alex, "Hey, where'd you get the threads?" Plucky, "Great huh! Got the grunge look going on me." Alex stifles a chuckle, Plucky's shirt looks Hawaiian with too much fruit in it. His hair feathers have way too much gel in them as well. "A reject from Saturday Night Fever." rings out in Buster's head, Alex winks at him. Buster, "Hey, knock that off! Your scaring me." Plucky, "Knock what off?" "Just this." rings in his head, Plucky stares wide eyed at Alex. Alex, "So, have you two seen Hamton anywhere? I want to know how he made out with his date." Just then, the baseball theme, "Charge!" rings out from a car horn. The one-hundred door limo Hamton took off from his house in, pulls up to the front of Acme Loo. Buster, "Looks like Montana rolled out the red carpet tonight." Alex, "No Buster, Monty's inside trying to keep away from Elmyra. That," points at the limo, "is Hamton." The mentioned pig's door is opened by Ralph, Hamton steps out, decked in black jeans and a reddish gold shirt. Hamton hops happily over to his dates door, opens it and lets her out. She is decked out in a outfit very much, if not identical, to Hamton's. Alex whispers to both Buster and Plucky, "Perfect couple." Hamton offers his arm to his date, they skip up the steps towards the small group. Hamton, "Buster, I'd like you to meet Cheri." Buster shakes the female pig's hand. She is staring at Alex, eyes locked on his huge tail with fascination. Hamton, "Cheri, this is Plucky, another one of my friends." Plucky tries to pull off the slick lady killer routine with her. Plucky, "Madame, you are looking extremely lovely tonight." he looks ridiculous in his Hawaiian type getup. He begins to kiss her on the wrist, but notices something muddy and alive between her fingers. Hamton, "And this is Alex, the one who lended me the limo tonight." Plucky and Buster both stare at Alex, he just waves to Cheri. Cheri, "Golly Alex! I've never seen a skunk with that big of a tail before. Not even the biggens back home." she is talking with a hillbilly type accent. Alex, "Excuse me?" Cheri, "You don't even smell like a skunk. Golly!" Buster and Plucky have dropped jaws over this discovery. Alex, "Well, skunks usually only use their noxious fumes in defense." Cheri, "Hey! You sound kind of educated." Hamton, "Err, I think we better go inside and say hello to everyone else." is shoving her through the doorway quickly. The three left stare at each other for a moment, then burst out laughing amongst themselves. Alex, "Oh well, I better get back inside before the party gets cold. It isn't a party until the cops are knocking on the door." bolts back onto the dance floor. The beat of the music, that had slowed down slightly, soon picks up to a fever pitch. Buster and Plucky start to walk into the jungle, when Montana runs up the steps to them, he gasps for air. Montana, "Buster! (Pant) Buster! (Gasp) Babs, fell down, (Wheeze) Fifi and Shirley too!" Buster, "What! What about Babs? What have you done this time, Monty?" he grabs Montana by the neck. Montana, "Get your hands off me, rabbit!" breaks out of Buster's grip, "I was coming up the path when I saw Babs, Shirley, and Fifi fall down a hole." Plucky, "What! Shirl, fell down a hole, this isn't some cheap trick to get out of our date!" yells out to the front lawn, thinking Shirley is there. Montana, "Listen you stupid duck! I was walking up here after grabbing a cattle prod from my house to get rid of Elmyra. I saw Babs, Shirley, and Fifi fall down what looked like a tiger trap. I ran up to it, it was too dark to see the bottom but I heard cries of pain from it." Buster, "What!" ideas of Babs hurt or dying running through his head, "Where is this hole?" Montana, "Back about Fifty feet." points down the path behind him. Buster, "Wait a minute. Why would you be concerned about Babs?" Montana, "Because, I want to get rid of you two rabbits myself, and I want to do it with my own hands. Not because of a stupid hole accident!" Buster and Plucky take off full sprint down the path Montana pointed at, they pay him no further attention. If they would have looked back, Montana would-be pulling something from his pocket. It is a square object six inches in width, he begins to talk to it. Back in Camry's cavern, Babs, Shirley, and Fifi are starting to come back, being knocked out by the jolt of electricity. Camry is hauling a cart full of air tanks and plastic containers, that have a fluid sloshing around in them, to the center of the cavern. Babs points this out to her companions, who look at it puzzled. A huge video display springs from a projector in the back of the cavern. The huge face of Montana Max is in the projection. Montana, "Camry! Where the heck are you?" Camry, "Down here, Max." she has begun to empty the containers into a large kiddie pool in the center of the room. Montana, "Oh, well their on their way. Remember now, I want to see them destroyed." Camry, "Don't worry, Max," finishes emptying and then discards the containers. She places the air tanks around the pool, "nothing can survive this trap." Montana, "You better hope so! I didn't help you with this for nothing." Camry begins to set up a huge tripod over the pool, "Go back to the dance, Montana, if anything, this will humiliate Buster if not destroying him first." the image winks out of existence. Babs, "So, that is all you are, one of Montana's flunkies." Camry, "Montana's!" laughs out loud, "Montana couldn't order lemmings to jump into the sea. No, Babs Bunny, he is more controlled by me then I by him." she places a large, and apparently heavy by her struggle with it, box on top of the tripod. She hooks wires into it, lights on the side turn on and a beeping resonates from it soon after. Camry, "Ah, now it is set!" Shirley, "Like what is set?" Camry, "You'll find out soon enough, for all of you are its target!" she laughs insanely, making the three cringe inside the cage. Plucky, "Well, here's the hole," is standing over a circular hole in the ground about four feet in diameter, "let's get going." Plucky starts to jump down, but Buster stops him on the shoulder with his hand. Buster, "Wait a minute Plucky! My fine sense of danger is telling me not to go down there." Buster walks away from the hole, looking for something. Plucky stares intently down the hole, wanting to give Shirley mouth to mouth if she needs it. "Ah ha!" Buster exclaims, finding a switch on a tree bordering the path. A section of bark pulls back from the tree. A sales tag drops down from the top of the entrance. Buster, "It says, Acme's cheap secret entrance to villain's lair, $5.95." Plucky, "What villain? Montana's at the school, unless Dr. Gene Splicer has returned." Buster, "No, last I heard about him he was working a hen house for a buck Fifty an hour." Plucky, "Well, if it's not them, then that means..." Both, "New villain!" they high five each other. Buster, "Well, let's see what kind of push-over the writers came up with now." they descend down the entrance. The staircase ends at the cavern, they come out ten feet away from the girls, spotting them instantly. Plucky goes to yell at Shirley, but Buster stops him, "We don't know if today's villain is still around." he whispers. Plucky, "Oh yeah, sorry." They two proceed quietly towards the caged ones, they look around trying to see who has captured their friends, no one is in sight. This makes them more nervous, it would-be easier if they could see the villain, they feel eyes lurking on their backs. The gripping, and high strung moment is broken with Plucky tripping on the discarded containers Camry threw away. This catches the girls attention immediately, Buster just shakes his head at this. Babs, "Buster!" Buster, "Hi ya, babe!" walks up to the cage, "Where can I buy one of these?" taps the metal bars. Babs, "Get a life, and get us out of here." Fifi, "Oui, before ze crazy fox comes back." Buster, "Crazy fox?" pulls on the bars, looking for a latch, Plucky soon joins him in the search. Shirley, "Like she called herself Camry Curvaceous, and said you had met her or some junk." Buster stops, "Camry? You mean she is the new villain." Babs, "Buster, who is this fox?" Plucky still searches for a way in, "She's a new transfer student, she didn't seem like a villain when I met her." Plucky, "I got it!" pushes a button on the bottom of the cage marked, "Release" the cage comes apart, a la batmobile armor style. Babs jumps down to Buster, Plucky makes a motion to grab Shirley in his arms to help her down. She tries another exit, but Plucky is at the bottom waiting for her there. Babs, "Let's get out of here before the banshee returns." Camry, "I don't think so, pink ears." The entryways are closed by huge iron doors that slam down from above. The box on top of the tripod springs to life, beeps twice, then its bottom splits releasing a light gray powder from it. It hits the water splashing, soon fizzing sounds come from the pool, a beater drops down from the box and chops the mixture. The air canisters beep as well, releasing the gases trapped within with a loud hissing. Camry, "So, the gangs all here. You know what they say, the gang that works together, dies together." A clicking rings out in the cavern, it is from a space age looking gun Camry is carrying. Plucky jumps into Shirley's arms in fear, she drops him in disgust. She floats a few feet from where Buster and Babs are standing, jumps off the disc and walks up to them. Camry, "Well, it seems that finally a rabbit will be out foxed," grins at the comment, "by a fox. And an added bonus of disposing of some lame characters as well." Babs looks around quickly, spots another button on the cage base marked, "Eject" and pushes it. She tries to grab Buster and jump on the base, but it rockets off too fast for them to get on. A circle opens iris style on the roof, letting the platform escape, then closes. Babs looks at Camry, whirls, "Did I do that?" pulling off a perfect Urkel impression. Camry walks quickly up to Babs, grabbing her by the shoulders, before Buster can react, head butts Babs in the head, knocking her out. Buster catches her before she hits the floor, looks at Camry with surprise and anger. Camry, "As planned, I only wanted to get rid of rabbits, not useless two-bit players. You rabbits are not that hard to figure out, I'm surprised you became more popular then my brethren." Buster, "You haven't beaten us yet! Our friends will be here with Bugs and friends, you'll never be accepted at Acme Loo, Camry." Camry, "By the time they get here, there will be nothing to save or evidence to convict me, Buster. I've covered my tracks well, and it will take a lot to snare this fox." Looks at her watch, calculates something to herself, "I suppose your wondering what I got cooking in the pool, I'll tell you as a last request." She walks over to the hovering circle and jumps on it, "That pool," points at it, "is producing acetylene gas, the canisters are adding pure oxygen." sniffs the air quickly, "And the mixture is about perfect for an ultimate explosion." looks at her watch again, "You have about a minute to live, Buster." with that, she floats quickly up to the ceiling. Another iris opens letting her out, the rush of air is heard marking that the pressure in the cavern has risen. Buster looks around for an escape, none can be seen at hand to the young bunny. Being a rabbit though, he gets a quick and ingenious idea. He sets Babs down and sets to work on it, looking at his watch while doing it. Above ground, the group that had landed just seconds ago, rushes out of the Big A L with a majority of the student body as well as the faculty members of the school. They rush towards a patch of ground Fifi, Shirley, and Plucky are pointing at and shouting. But the ground they are pointing at, in a few seconds is no more, for when they reach it all that is there is a large sinkhole. The explosion is felt and heard by all, the ground lifts in a large earthen dome about two feet high in the center. It soon collapses on itself, leaving a large crater with steam and large amounts of heat rising from it. The groups gather around the edge in the moonlight, Plucky, Shirley, and Fifi have tears in their eyes. Others peer over the edge, talking to one another, "Gee, did someone hit a gas line? I hope no one was down there." The last statement sends Fifi and Shirley bawling, they hold each other in comfort. Plucky scans for Camry, wanting to avenge his friends life. "Hey! If it's not too much trouble, can someone get us down?" pierces the night quiet. Fifi, Plucky, and Shirley look at the source unbelieving, up in a tree, sits Buster and Babs. The three run ahead of everyone else to help them down. Fifi, "But how did vous escape? It ez impossible!" Buster, "Never underestimate the slyness of a rabbit." Babs, "And never underestimate how far an explosion can rocket you when your burrowing out." Plucky, "Of course! Camry must have underestimated how quickly a rabbit can dig." Camry, "What did I underestimate?" she comes through the crowd, up to the stars gathered in the center. Fifi, "She! She ez ze one! She ez trying to kill moi! Arrest her!" Montana, "Are you nuts, skunk!? Camry's been at the dance all night." Shirley, "What! Have you like mondo lost it, Monty? She like tried to kill all of us." Buster, "You know, Monty, it's not nice to lie." "Whatya mean you blue eared varmint?" the voice is that of Yosemite Sam, "That fine fox has been here at the dance a full three hours I reckon." Elmer Fudd, "Yes she was, and I even danced with her, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh!" Buster, "Bugs! I'm telling you, all of you, she tried to kill us!" Bugs, "Hum, it would seem dat we have a conflict here." Dizzy, "Me see Camry at dance too." he says jumping above people in front of him. The group of toons that about lost their lives stares at the group before them. A few minutes of squabbling over who was where follows, but at the end it is five students that say Camry tried to kill them. Two students and four faculty members, Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote join, that say she was at the dance. A fire truck soon arrives to try and put out the fire that has started from trees falling into the hole and bursting into flames. The water vaporizes immediately upon touching the red hot rocks in the hole, Bugs goes over to talk to the fire fighters. He returns soon after to the group, he asks for quiet and after a few moments gets it. Bugs, "Well, da men in red tell me it could have been a gas line dat exploded, but dey need to contact the gas company. Anyway, dey tell me if it was intentional, an investigation must take place on de site, dat won't be until tomorrow. So, I think we should all go back to da dance and enjoy it for de rest of de night, tomorrow we'll find out who de culprit is. Camry, or some really big gophers." looks at the hole for a moment. The large group corrodes and heads back to Acme Loo and the dance, which hasn't stopped since Alex is still pushing it full swing. Buster runs up to Bugs, "Look kid, I know what you're going to say, but before you do, think about dis." Buster cuts what he was about to say, "Five students claim dat a new transfer student tried to kill dem, but two students and four faculty members say she was at da dance all night. I trust you, Buster, but such a charge has to have hard facts to be proven, I should know, I had to fight city hall once." Buster, "So what should we do about it then?" Bugs, "Sit it out, Sam got de best of me a couple of times, but in da end, I always got him back worse." pats the young bunny on the back, then heads back to the dance. Bugs soon is inside the Loo, the group of Buster, Babs, Plucky, Shirley, and Fifi stand for a moment. A loud, "PSSST!" rings out behind the group, they turn, and see Camry throw a paper airplane at them. It lands on the ground before Buster's feet and unfolds itself, Buster picks it up and reads aloud to the others. "You know Buster, it's amazing how many people will help you if you offer them revenge. Don't hold your breath waiting for evidence against me, there is a gas line at the bottom of the hole. Also, the heat from the explosion was so great it melted or evaporated anything that would show a cavern was once there. I never wanted to kill you in this way, this way is too easy and cheap to be fun. And I still want to have fun with you, Babs, and Bugs before I dispose of you all and take over. I promise you this though, next time it will take more then digging to save your hide. -Camry PS Don't even think about using this note as evidence, because......" The entire note is destroyed in a flash of fire, the group looks up to where Camry was, but she is gone. They look at each other, take in a deep breath, then head to the dance as well. Inside the dance, the lines have been drawn, Buster and his bunch on one side of the room. Camry and all the villains, she appears now as a head to all the villains in the show. The only one who doesn't seem affected by this tension is Alex. Who now has gone into a breakdance slash new age dance routine. Even this calm is soon to be disturbed, as he is being stalked by two figures that make their way towards him. A skunkette named, Fifi La Fume, and a transfer student, Camry Curvaceous. Nether one notices the other, but both approach Alex from opposite sides. Babs and Shirley are cheering Fifi on from the sidelines. Fifi, "Bonjour, monsiour Alex, mois name is Fifi La Fume. Would vous like to be mois boyfriend?" Babs and Shirley clap their hands on their foreheads, shaking their heads at the same time. Alex, "Ah, female mephitis macroura! So, you are the Fifi no one wants me to find out about, interesting." he surveys her with a look of total curiosity. Fifi is quickly reaching the boiling point, the dancers behind her are noticing it, but Alex decides to make more conversation with her. Alex, "Boyfriend? You must be just like Pepe Le Pew, you know I really enjoy his....." he is cut off by another female arm whipping him around. Camry, "Don't settle for second best, when you can have the best." she plays with his chin a little. Fifi notices her and grabs Alex away violently, kisses him on the lips forcefully as well, now having the threat of competition. Fifi, "Oooooh, mois totally awesome beau, vous are like ripe brie in mois arms!" Alex, "Cheese! Hey, if this has something to do about my new aftershave." Camry grabs him out of Fifi's clutches. Camry, "Do not be impressed with that foreign courtesan, she don't even speak good English." Alex, "Doesn't speak good English." Fifi grabs him again from Camry, everyone is sitting down watching this like a tennis match. Fifi, "Je would never do that! (kiss) Moi will hold vous sacred, (kiss) hold vous tight, (kiss, kiss) touch vous fingers with mois. (kiss, kiss, kiss)" Camry goes for Alex again, waving away the poison fumes that have risen from Fifi. Camry, "That French female doesn't know the first thing about love. With you as my man, I would never force lip feed you, instead, we would do what you want to do." winks at him. Fifi is very angry now, grabs Alex and yells at him. Fifi, "Monsiour! Make vous decision now! Will et be moi! Our will et be ze dirt-bag fox!" grabs tightly on his arm, trying to suggest who he should go with. Camry grabs the other arm, both girls pull and hiss at each other. Plucky and Buster are chanting on the sidelines, "Cat fight! Cat fight! Cat fight!" Babs and Shirley smack them both. Alex, "Ahhhhh, I don't want either one of you!" Fifi and Camry, "What!!!!!" Alex, "I don't love either of you because, I'm in love with Hamton!" Hamton drops his plate of hor d'oeuvers after hearing this. Alex slides up to Hamton's feet, leaving Fifi and Camry open mouthed behind. Alex, "It is true, Hamton, why do you think I gave you that limo? I want to be CLOSE friends with you." Hamton, "Ohhhhhh!" jumps in Alex's arms, "Hold me you hunk!" the two kiss. Everyone on the dance floor gags and pukes over this sight. Alex, "Let me take you away my pork chop of passion." Hamton, "I got the Crisco!" the two fly off out the door and back to Alex's palace. Camry faints and lands with a loud, "THUNK!" Fifi just stands in shock. Babs approaches her, "Sorry Feef, I didn't know he was THAT kind of guy." Shirley, "Yeah, like don't worry Fifi, some other skunk hunk will come around or some junk." Fifi looks from Babs, then to Shirley, begins to shake then screams, "Non! Non! Non!" She grabs her tail and begins shooting a la rambo style, "Et isn't fair! Et isn't fair! Why moi! Why moi!" People are taken out quickly by the suffocating fumes, she doesn't stop until everyone is down. Later, on the evening news, Merry Melodie is the reporter on this incident. Merry, "Tonight, the worst case of skunkicide in the history of cartoons unfolded at the Acme Loo dance. Behind me," points to Acme Loo in the background, "a foreign female skunk called Fifi La Fume, finally cracked after discovering she could not compete for a new love's heart. To clear the smell from the Loo, Acme's finest deodorizers have been called in. Excuse me sir," runs up to one of the workmen dawning a radiation suit and a gas mask, "I'm Merrie Melodie reporting for Acme News, could you give us your assessment of the situation." "Why yes, Merrie, my name is Bob, high mom!" waves at the camera, "What has happened behind me," points to the Loo, "is what we like to call an odorcon five. I've had to deodorize worker's boots, cesspools, Congress and. Hey Harold!" is yelling at a man behind him. Bob, "You remember that chicken farm we got last week?" Harold claps his hands over his mouth, then runs off screen. Gagging and splashing of fluid are heard soon after, "And none of those even compare to this." Merrie, "Thank you, in later developments it was found that Miss La Fume departed from the Loo soon after. She headed for the nearest grocery store and drank herself to death on Lysol disinfectant. In other news....." "Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" a loud voice booms from above, "This ending sucks, totally!" Fifi walks on-screen, "Vous are telling mois!" Hamton and Alex soon appear, gargling bottles of Listerine mouthwash, gulping and spitting it out on the ground. The other toons who had been vaporized in Fifi's attack walk on-screen as well. Voice, "I got a better idea! Back to the dance!" Fifi, "Monsiour! Make vous decision now! Will et be moi! Our will it be ze dirt-bag fox!" Buster, "Wait a minute!" runs up to Alex being held between Fifi and Camry, "That isn't Alex, it's," takes and rips Alex's head off. A line of surprised gasps are heard at what is inside the mask that was once Alex's face. Buster, "It's Camry," she looks at Buster with hatred, "she's trying to get this show discredited by exploiting alternative life styles on a family show. Maybe even trying to get it erased from existence." Camry, "And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for you noisy kids!" Plucky, "But if that's Camry, then who is this?" points at the other Camry that is holding Camry, Buster rips the head off of this twin. Buster, "It's, Babs!!" Babs, "I'm sorry, Buster. I wanted to know what it would-be like to make out with a boy skunk." Shirley, "But if that like is Babs, then who is this?" grabs hold of the other Babs standing next to her, rips the head off of her as well. Shirley, "It's like Scooby Doo!" Scooby, "Srooby Drooby Doo!" Voice, "Wait a minute, this ending is stupid and been way overdone. Would someone please get that idiot mutt out of my story!" a huge boot appears, booting Scooby out of the picture, and hopefully the world. Fifi, "Monsiour, would vous please make up vous mind! Does moi get with monsiour Alex or not?" Voice, "Ok, Ok, keep your tail down." she is waving it dangerously, "None of these are the real ending, but, I owe it to you to give you the real one." Fifi and Camry are stalking Alex, but in truth, Fifi herself is being stalked by another, that other is Alex. He had sensed long before either made a move at him their purpose and desire. He was most curious of this Fifi woman, and soon was circling her as she had so often her other would-be lovers. Fifi catches a glance of tail, then a head, then tail, he is orbiting her viciously now. For the first time in Fifi's life, she feels the terror her captured would-be suitors have felt. Then suddenly, the tail coils around her, bringing her into the body of Alex Redolence. He gives her a deep and passionate embrace as well as a kiss to match, he breaks the kiss suddenly. Fifi drops her jaw at him, he is extremely handsome, his eyes shimmer their green, full of knowledge as well as love. He places his finger on her lips, "Careful, I know some women who drowned like that." he grins at her, "So, you are the Fifi La Fume I have heard so little about." Fifi, "Je hope they are good things vous has heard." Alex, "Oh, they all were, but some were questionable, but I don't listen to gossip. There is one thing I must know though." Fifi, "What ez zat?" Alex grabs her hand, puts it up to his cheek feeling its touch, his eyes light up and glow. Alex, "You were the one who touched me last night!" growls passionately at her. Fifi, "So would monsiour like to, how do you say, go out with moi?" the entire dance floor is staring at them. Now, Fifi is wrapped in Alex's tail, the two are quite a sight, floating four feet above the floor complement of Alex's powers. Alex, "No, Fifi. You are not ready for a commitment yet." her eyes widen in surprise to this answer. Fifi, "What! Are vous crazy? Je would love to ze with monsiour." Alex, "Fifi, have you ever thought why you never went out with a boy for any amount of time?" Fifi, "They could not stand, mois odor?" Alex, "No, you have a very wild heart, Fifi," growls again at her, "but, it is so wild no man can yet call you his own. You see every boy as a conquest, Fifi, you want to be loved and adored by all, Fifi." caresses her cheek, then puts her hand in his. Babs, "Are you telling us that she is a....." Alex, "No!" looks at Babs angrily, "She is not that, just a mega flirt, and that is what turns me on the most about her. Because of that virtue in her though, she can never be one man's woman, nor all men's. Not until she calms and decides to settle down with one, which I hope is me." Fifi, "Zat is not true! Je can be with just one man." Alex, "No you can't, proof of that is why you broke up with Hamton, Fifi. Not because of personality differences, but because you saw the relationship as a prison. Still, Fifi, I like you a lot, and I will be waiting for you." presses his lips deep into hers. The kiss lasts for seven minutes, Babs times it and points it out to Buster, when it breaks, Fifi is speechless. Alex comes down, and lets her go, although very reluctantly, "I'll be waiting for you mon amore." with that, he disappears in a flash. We iris out on Fifi's face, and bring the story to a close. The black screen is ripped apart by a very angry female skunk, who looks at me with eyes blazing and tail waving angrily. Fifi, "Monsiour Jeremy, this ending is stupid! Je cannot believe zis, and je am not leaving until vous gets moi ze date tonight! Ez it so much to ask to be loved? Am moi not a woman who needs to be ze loved and caressed?" Jeremy, "UH OH! Ummm, well...." looking at Furrball, Calamity, and Beeper. They take one wide-eyed look at me, and bolt, leaving behind a sign that says, "NO WAY MAC! WE'VE ALREADY BEEN PAIRED TOO OFTEN WITH HER!" I look at Hamton for help, who says immediately to me, "Are you kidding? I might score with Cheri tonight!" and with that, he leaves the picture. Jeremy, "Well, we still got Plucky and Buster." Plucky, "No, I can't, I got Shirley!" ducks behind her for cover. Shirley, "Like Plucky, it may improve how you treat women or some junk." Plucky pleads with Shirley, then finally says, "I'll pay you two-hundred dollars if you just say your going steady with me." Shirley, "Like sold!" Buster, "Are you nuts? I got Babs for a date and I don't think anyone would want us to break up." Jeremy, "Oh come on guys, I want to get this story finished, it's just one date!" Fifi, "Oui, and je won't bite unless vous wants moi to." Buster, "I am not taking her out!" Plucky, "Well, I'm not taking her out!" Buster, "It'll clear your sinuses, Plucky." Plucky, "It'll bleach your hair, Buster." Buster, "You take her out!" shoves Plucky on the chest. Plucky, "You take her out!" shoves him back. "I'll take her out!" Fifi, "Who said zat?" "It's me, the idiot who wrote this slop. I wrote her into this situation, so I'll take responsibility for it." Fifi, "Oh monsiour, vous will not know what has hit vous when I'm done with vous." has a very lusty look in her eyes. Jeremy, "Just two things, Fifi." Fifi, "And what are zhose?" Jeremy, "No tongue, and keep that tail to yourself!" Fifi, "Oui, monsiour. Oui monsiour." And with that, this story finally comes to a close until next time. Unfortunately for me, Fifi has her fingers crossed. THE END? END LEGAL NOTE: The character Alex Redolence and Camry Curvaceous are my creation and copyright Jeremy J. Jurrens, 1996.
