One of my major obsessions is Looney Tunes. It`s listed in my obsessions list on my profile page (check it out!) I`ve watched all of the Looney Tunes Show episodes and am currently repeating them. So out of boredom I decided to write these one-shots.
Blurb: When Bugs home gets attacked, he is forced to run away to avoid death. Bumping into his best friend Daffy who decides to help/protect him, the young rabbit finds himself vulnerable. Will Daffy`s protection keep him safe?
'Aaah peace and quiet!'
Bugs snuggled into the back of his chair in his rabbit hole. He closed his eyes, preparing to go for a nice long nap when he heard a hissing sound.
He opened his eyes and panic immediately rose inside of him when he saw about 10 sticks of dynamite fizzing away, about to explode.
Bugs gasped and immediately tried to get out, only to find the entrance to the hole filled in.
'I`m trapped!' Bugs cried.
He started to pound his fists on the hard dirt blocking the entrance, having no luck of budging it.
'Wait!'
Bugs started digging, desperate to get out and avoid the explosion which he was sure was on it`s way. He dug and dug until he was able to make a hole in the top of the tunnel he had been digging.
A burst of air ran through the newly dug tunnel, greeting the grey rabbit.
Bugs hesitated as he heard 10 large booms and he could hear the explosions making one big one. It was starting to fill the whole of the hole, including the tunnel he was in.
Quickly, he scrambled up the new entrance, escaping the massive explosion, panting.
His arms and legs ached after digging so fast; he hadn`t usually dug a tunnel that fast as he had always had time to do it.
There was also a large bruise on his right arm after crashing against so many rocks with his right arm.
There was a long, bleeding cut on his left leg after catching it o a sharp rock while he was digging.
His head hurt and his heart pounded. He was glad ad lucky that he had made it out alive.
'I need to find somewhere to sleep' Bugs thought. After all that he was tired, literally exhausted.
He started to walk slowly, dragging his wounded leg with him, trying to find a safe place to rest.
While he was walking, flashbacks of the explosion filled his mind. He wanted to find out who the culprit was, who destroyed his beloved home.
Only one person came to mind: Elmer.
The tired grey rabbit approached a small clearing with a few trees scattered across the grassy area.
Bugs panted as he stopped to catch his breath and stop the pain.
'Bugs!'
Bugs looked up, spotting the one and only Daffy Duck.
The duck ran up to him and took him to a tree close by. He pulled him close to him, in hopes to examine him.
'Bugs are you ok?! What happened?! Bugs? No Bugs, don`t fall asleep on me now!'
Bugs found himself slowly passing out as Daffy desperately tried to get through to him.
'Bugs!' Was all he heard before he went limp in the duck`s arms.
Bugs groaned as he started to come around.
'That`s it Bugs, open your eyes'
Bugs blinked. NEVER had he heard Daffy use such a soft and gentle voice.
The rabbit blinked awake to find his back rested against a tree, his head lying on Daffy`s shoulder. His wounded leg had a bandage round it and his bruise looked a tiny bit better.
'Are you ok?!' Daffy asked, noticing Bugs waking up.
Bugs nodded slowly, trying to get up but failing.
'Don`t' Was all that Daffy said 'I wanna ask you some questions'
Bugs nodded again, his head still hurting and his ears still ringing from the explosion.
'What date is it?' Bugs asked.
'May 16' Daffy replied.
Bugs gasped. 'All that happened yesterday?!'
Daffy nodded. 'What happened?'
Bugs put his arms round his legs, hunching up. 'I was at home, my rabbit hole when these explosives started going off. The entrance was blocked so I had to dig another way out. I got out barely and then met you here'
A tear fell from Bugs eyes. He hadn`t thought about it much before, mainly because he was about to get killed and was trying to escape, but now the truth sank in. He started to softly cry as he realized his home was gone forever.
Daffy put a comforting arm round the rabbit as he cried.
'It`s gone, all gone! My home, destroyed by explosives and him!'
'Who?' Daffy asked.
Bugs blinked with wet eyes. 'Elmer'
Daffy snapped. 'Elmer! How dare he!'
He got up, gently prying Bugs off of him. The rabbit gave him a confused look.
'Stay here' Daffy instructed before running off to find Elmer, leaving the vulnerable, upset rabbit alone.
Bugs curled into himself and sank against the tree, soon falling asleep.
Daffy kept on searching for the mean human which had destroyed his best friend`s home.
'I mean, how dare he! That was Bugs home and now it`s gone!'
Daffy hid behind a row of bushes as he saw the spiteful human. He hissed in anger as the human laughed at the wreckage of the hole. Daffy leapt out of the bushes and ran at the human, stopping a few inches away from him.
Elmer looked at Daffy in shock. 'What the heck?!'
'I`m Daffy Duck and your gonna pay for destroying my best friend`s home!'
'So that pesky creature is still alive, we`ll see about that'
Elmer pretended to be scared and ran off screaming. Daffy grinned as he dusted off his hands.
Then he stopped.
'Wait a minute! He took time to pick up his guns...Bugs!' The black duck ran off after Elmer, determined to save Bugs.
Bugs blinked awake as he heard a clicking sound. He looked up to see Elmer loading a gun in front of him. Bugs gasped , trying to get away, only to see that Elmer standing on his ankle, keeping him down.
Bugs continued to struggle as Elmer applied pressure to his ankle. Bugs cried out as more pain waved over him.
Elmer finished loading the gun and pointed it at the helpless rabbit.
'Say goodbye rabbit' Elmer said darkly as he got ready to pull the trigger and Bugs squeezed his eyes shut.
Then he was saved...
'Hey, leave him alone!'
Bugs opened his eyes in relief as he spotted Daffy. Elmer frowned as Daffy ran over.
'Don`t you even think of shooting him or else!'
Bugs smiled as Daffy defended him, protected him. Elmer huffed and pretended to be scared, mocking the black duck. Daffy folded his arms, waiting for Elmer to stop.
Suddenly, Elmer grabbed Bugs by his sore arm, squeezing the bruise hard, causing the rabbit to cry out, and pointed the gun at him. Daffy gasped.
'You don't want his ashes do you?' Elmer smirked.
Bugs desperately tried to get out of Elmer`s grasp. Normally he would be able to but now he was still a wreck over the loss of his home, leaving him vulnerable.
'I need to think of a plan! Bugs is on the brink of getting shot!' Daffy thought hard and suddenly got an idea.
'Shoot him then'
Bugs and Elmer`s eyes widened in shock.
'Daffy please!' Bugs pleaded.
Elmer grinned, satisfied. He tapped the barrel of the gun against the side of the rabbit`s head, making him shiver.
'3, 2, 1, now!' Daffy lunged forward and squeezed the trigger...!
Bugs shut his eyes, scared to see the hole in his head. He opened his eyes to find Elmer running away with a hole in his hat and Daffy smirking, triumph.
Bugs sighed relieved as Daffy ran over to him.
'You ok?'
'I`m fine, thanks doc' Bugs replied, giving the duck a small hug 'I would probably be dead by now if it wasn't for you'
Daffy smiled. 'Anytime Bugs, anytime'
