Chapter 1- Bugs Reward
The basketball game was a complete disaster. The aliens were beating the Looney Tunes squad at every turn. It was only Bug's quick thinking with the 'Energy boost' drink that had given the team the chance to be saved from humiliating defeat. It was now closing in on the end of the game; the toon's only needed a couple more points to beat them. But that's when it hit.
Lola moved into her position, her keen athletic mind already working to devise strategies and contingencies, completely distracted of the danger which unfolded behind her. When Bugs Bunny returned to the court he looked out across the opposing team, mentally cataloguing a list of insults and jokes useable on each and everyone of them. But when he came to insulting the largest one, Bug's noted he wasn't in the line up. "He's probably in the locker room crying over how badly we're goanna kick his butt" Bug's snickered to himself, the very idea tickling his overdeveloped funny bone. He turned back towards his teams side of the court.
But then he saw what had really happened to the missing player. The monster was scaling the basketball hoop, crouching atop it like an overly sized feline ready to pounce on some unsuspecting prey. He looked down at the court, Lola! "Lola, Lola heads up!"
Bugs charged forward, screaming in the hopes to save Lola from being painfully crushed. But it was too late. Lola turned to see the large orange ball gracefully falling through the air. Lola was frozen stiff with shock, her normally confident demeanour broken. There was no way she would be able to get clear in time.
Bugs slammed into Lola, throwing her into the air. She glided through the air, crashing onto the floor and skidding across the polished court. She finally came to a stop at the edge of the court, her head spinning with pain and confusion. But all those distractions were banished from her mind when she saw the sacrifice made to ensure her safety. Bugs was lay flat on the court, his body completely lacking any third dimension. "Bugs!" She cried out to him, her arm outstretched in the hope of reaching him. Her legs didn't respond to her, forcing for her too claw for him desperately. But suddenly the feeling became too strong for her legs to ignore, she leapt up and scrambled across the court towards him.
She collapsed down next to him, taking his crumpled form in her arms. "Are you okay?" She spoke through shaking lips.
"Me? Oh yeah I'm fine. Are you okay?" Lola's eyes beamed with delight, all memories of Bugs's flirtations and remarks had been washed away in one single heroic act.
"Oh bugs, thank you" Her voice shook with joy.
"Oh, it was nothing" Bugs tried to brush it away, trying to hide his pain behind a veil of false smiles.
"That was the nicest thing anyones ever done for me" And she was more than prepared to show it, planting a loving kiss on his light grey bunny lips. A spark of energy thundered through Bugs's body, reanimating his limp and broken form and causing his eyes to snap open with surprise. Lola slowly moved towards Bugs's big floppy right ear, whispering a sweet tune to him. "When we win, I'll be sure to give you your reward" Before Bugs could question her remark she had gone, ready to win the game for the Toon's.
Lola was true to her word. The Toon's had beaten the aliens in the basketball game, ensuring their freedom from the monsters grip. But while the rest of the team bathed in the glow of their victory, Lola had other plans already underway. Gripping Bugs gloved paw in her hand she lead him away from the cheering crowds. Bugs just had to bite at the carrot she dangled precariously before his twitching nose. "Alright. What's this reward?"
Lola was having none of it. "You'll see"
