The Road to the ACME Bowl (pt. 1): The Rise of A New Legend

(This, my friends, is the first part of the ACME Toonsters Football Season. I hope you guys enjoy this story and I'll come up with the other parts soon!")

It was a bright warm day, a beautiful day in ACME Acres. Everyone, including ACME Looniversity, was ready for the weekend. After a stressing week of school and work, everyone needs a break once in a while. One in particular is a straight-A student from ACME Loo: Ryan Thomas Cat or as others like to call him, Furrball. He was once a lonely orphaned alleycat who's constantly unlucky on trying to find a place called home. Now that he has found his long lost mother and older sister, he has never been happier in his life. He also has a girlfriend named Fifi La Fume, who is a beautiful violet skunk, but she could get a little too romantic when it comes to boys. Instead of a cardboard box, Furrball lived in a four-room apartment right beside Fifi's Cadillac in the Junkyard. He kept his cardboard box with Fifi if ever he wanted to sleep over.
Waking from a good night's sleep, the little blue cat jumped from his bed and started fixing himself for the day. When he got to the kitchen, he saw his Mom, Mrs. Elizabeth Cat, who headed up the new library about three blocks away. She hugged Furrball and kissed him.
"Good Morning, Ryan." said Mrs. Cat. "Did you sleep well?"
"Sure did." said Furrball sitting at the kitchen table.
"So I heard today's the day to start the new football season for ACME Looniversity."
"Yeah, that's right." Furrball felt a little uncomfortable about practice because last year, his team (The ACME Toonsters) didn't win a single game, but still won the game against Perfecto Prep (known for their ways of cheating and bribing to win).
"Hey man, you got a good physical." called a voice from behind. It was his older sister, Terry. She's a young officer in the ACME Police Department and cares alot for Furrball's safety.
"You're team's gonna do fine."
"I hope you're right, Terry." Furrball responded, eating buttermilk pancakes. "The teams we faced last year were rough and merciless, and we almost lost to Perfecto when Plucky tried to join their school."
"Hey bro, they're just a bunch of winning-driven sore losers who want to be known to all as the top school in ACME Acres."
"Yeah, but it will take a miracle to help us get to the ACME Bowl."
Terry nudged her little brother and whispered, "Tell you what, after practice, I want to show you something that might help."
After finishing breakfast, Furrball waved goodbye to his folks, packed his jersey and helmet, and went off to ACME Loo.

The little blue cat stepped into the field, it had the scent of freshly cut grass and there was a lot of chattering going on in front of him.
"Hey Furrball!" called out Buster waving to his teammate. The other team members were there with him, including the cheerleaders, which of course had Fifi, Babs, and Shirley. But recently after several auditions the other cheerleaders included Calamity's new girlfriend, Cosette La Fume. They all greeted their little blue friend with high fives.
"Hey, Blue. How do ya do?" signed Calamity Coyote, one of Furrball's best friends and kid genius.
"Hey, Grey. How are ya today?" replied Furrball as the two did their secret handshake.
"So, what's going on out here?"
"We're waiting for our coach to arrive." Soon enough, Coach Bugs Bunny came to the field. He was equipped with a blue hat and a whistle.
"Eh, what's up guys?" the coach greeted.
"We're doin' great." answered Hamton. "Everyone's here, so what will we do first?"
"First, I wanna see if those hands of yours are still good at sticking to the ball."

Furrball's a tight end, but he's also a runningback since before he found a permanent home, he spent most of his life running from cat bullies and even junkyard dogs. He, with the rest of the offensive team, had to catch every pass thrown at them whether it's a touch pass or a bullet pass. It wasn't easy to catch a bullet though since your fingers need to be firm and your hands to need to move fast to get into position. Then, they had to practice with their running time and their physical strength with many obstacles in their path. The toonsters had to have their feet as quick as can be in order to outrun their future opponents, and have their muscles prepared to resist against their brutal strength (something that I know you knew what these players have gone through) The defensive line however had to practice on closing their open barriers and prevent the other team from getting through.

It was a really tough day for the toonsters and soon it was time to go home, but Calamity insisted that he would work on his field goals since he's the team's kicker and he obviously has the smarts to put the right amount of force into the ball and make it to the goal.
