Hey Everyone! This is my first Looney Tunes fanfic, so go easy on me. This takes place right after "Looney Tunes Back in Action" (as I'm sure you can tell from the title.) It's kind of long but I hope you like it. Please review! Enjoy!
Chapter 1
It's been a couple years since DJ and Kate's wacky adventure with the looney tunes. The two decided to get married and settle down. DJ's father decided to give them the family house while he moved a couple houses down the street. The two were the perfect couple. Of course, Bugs and Daffy would visit every once in a while. Whenever they had a break from filming. This one evening, the two had come over for dinner. The two invited them over to tell them something important. Half of you probably already know what it is.
"So, uh, what's up doc?" Bugs Bunny asked, eating away at his carrot cake. It was desert. The two had promised them a surprise but made them wait until desert.
"Yeah! What'th the big thecret?" Daffy demanded. That's when DJ and Kate decided to share the good news.
"Well you guys." DJ said. "Me and Kate." He put his arm around her. "Are going to have a baby." Daffy took a total spit take. Spewing water all over DJ's face.
"A baby!" Daffy shouted. "Babieth are dithguthting!"
"I think it's great." Bugs said, ignoring Daffy. "Goyle or boy?"
"Girl." Kate answered.
"Girlth are thtupid." Daffy replied. "You thhould have a boy. Boyth are way cooler."
"It doesn't work like that, Daff." Bugs explained, rolling his eyes. "What'ya gonna name the doll?"
"I was thinking Gordania." Kate replied. Daffy and Bugs stared at her blankly.
"Lady, do you want her to get beaten up or thomething?" Daffy snapped.
"It was my grandmother's name." Kate said, offended.
"Sweetheart, we're not naming her Gordania." DJ said.
"Do you have anything better?" Kate defended. All eyes were on DJ. He was put on the spot and was not prepared with an answer.
"Uh…hum….how about…uh…..Evelyn." DJ blurted out without even thinking. Everyone was silent in the dinning room.
"Evelyn?" Kate questioned harshly. DJ nodded reluctantly. Silence. "I Love it!" DJ was shocked.
"Really?" DJ questioned.
"It's gotta nice ring to it. Evelyn Drake." Bugs replied.
"Anything'th better then Gordania." Daffy said. The rest of the night was perfect.
1 year later
Evelyn Drake was crying, no, screeching as loud as she could in her stroller. DJ didn't understand it. He and Kate had tried everything. Everything! She had been crying for about two weeks straight. DJ, with his red eyes and saggy face, was trying to get her back to sleep by taking her on a walk. Also, it was Kate's turn to sleep. All it did was manage to annoy everyone on the streets.
"SHUT THAT KID UP!" A man yelled.
"You shut up!" DJ yelled at him. He was so stressed. He couldn't control himself. He had to get her to stop crying! But how? He could barely remember a peaceful Evelyn. As he continued to walk he barely realized where he was going. He started to walk by his old job. Warner brother studios. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck just happened to be taking their lunch break at the same time DJ walked by. The baby's screams were loud enough for them both to hear.
"Can't people keep their kidth quiet any more." Daffy groaned. He stood up.
"Daffy don't." Bugs replied. Daffy stomped over to the gates.
"Lithten buster, if you can't keep your brat quiet I'll-" He stopped when the man turned. It was DJ.
"Daffy?" DJ asked.
"DJ?" Daffy asked.
"DJ!" Bugs greeted, jointing the group. "How's the Mrs.?"
"She's sleeping." DJ replied. He sighed.
"Evelyn has been crying for weeks."
"Who'th Evelyn?" Daffy asked. Bugs looked at him.
"DJ and Kate's daughter. Remember?" Bugs explained.
"Oh right, the little brat." Daffy replied.
"How old is the goyle, anyway." Bugs questioned.
"Around three months." DJ said. At this Evelyn screeched a little louder. The three cringed. "I can't get her to stop crying."
"Here let me try." Daffy said, waltzing over to the stroller. "I'm great with kidth." He peeked into the stroller. Silence. A smile spread across DJ's face. She stopped crying. He thought too soon as she screeched louder then ever before. "Thomething's wrong with your kid." He walked back to the group.
"I don't get it." DJ sighed. He picked the baby up. "She just won't stop cry-" He stopped talking when he heard it. "She stopped crying."
"Well, what do ya know." Bugs replied. That's when she started giggling.
"Her first laugh." DJ smirked, looking down at the baby girl. She was pointing at the rabbit with a big smile on her face.
"Asa matlak loo boom boom!" The baby giggled. DJ connected the dots.
"I think she's a bugs bunny fan." DJ smirked.
"Great, another one." Daffy mumbled.
"Ain't that sweet." Bugs replied. The baby giggled even louder. DJ got an idea. He handed Evelyn to Bugs.
"I'll be right back." DJ said. "KEEP HER LAUGHING!" Her called as her ran towards the studio.
"How'd we get thtuck with the brat?" Daffy asked, annoyed.
"Daffy, she ain't a brat." Bugs snapped.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah, whatever." Daffy said. That's when the baby turned to the duck. She pointed at him and stuck out her tongue and then laughed.
"I don't think she likes you." Bugs pointed out. Daffy mumbled to himself. That's when the baby got excited about the carrot in Bugs's other hand.
"Da Da!" She shouted.
"I think thee wantth your carrot." Daffy said.
"Eh, she can have it." Bugs gave the carrot to Evelyn. She sucked on it, since she couldn't chomp on it. DJ ran back. His face dripping in sweat. In his hand was a Bugs Bunny doll.
"I have an idea." DJ panted. He took the baby and put her in the stroller. She immediately bursted into tears. However, as soon as he put the Bugs Bunny doll into the stroller she stopped crying. DJ sighed with relief. He turned to Bugs Bunny. "Oh thank you so much!"
"No problem." Bugs Bunny replied. DJ noticed the carrot in his daughter's mouth. He picked it up.
"I think this belongs to you." DJ said disgusted. Baby spit dripped off it.
"She can keep it." Bugs Bunny replied.
"That's dithguthting." Daffy replied.
"I've gotta go." DJ said. "Kate's gonna be so excited." With that DJ rushed back home. Bugs and Daffy walked back to lunch.
"Well, dat was exciting." Bugs Bunny commented.
"Oh yeth. Drooling, crying babieth are the greatetht thingth on the planet." Daffy replied. Bugs rolled his eyes as the two made their way back to the set. Daffy would warm up to the kid. He hoped.
4 years and 9 months later
Evelyn Drake was celebrating her fifth birthday. She had grown so much since her encounter with Bugs and Daffy. Her orange hair was in a braid and her eyes were just like her father's. He used to joke that her hair was from all the carrots she ate. She loved carrots. Her mother was even making a beautiful carrot cake for the party. Evelyn rushed down the stairs, taking two steps at a time. She landed with a plop on the floor.
"Hi mommy." She chirped.
"Hey sweetheart." She replied, focused on the cake.
"Where's dad?" Evelyn questioned.
"Oh he's picking up your birthday present." Kate answered. Evelyn smiled. "Why don't you go play outside."
"Kay." Evelyn said, rushing outside.
"Don't get too dirty!" Kate called. Evelyn didn't really hear her. She plopped on her swing set. Evelyn was determined to swing all by herself. She just couldn't figure it out. Her dad assured her she'd figure it out one day. But she wanted it to be today! She thrashed her legs about. Nope. Nothing. She groaned. She tried moving her arms. That didn't work either. She decided to give it one last try and she was going to call the whole thing off. She closed her eyes and moved her legs again. This time, it was working. She opened her eyes and smiled.
"I'm doing it!" She cheered.
"No you're not." A voice replied. Evelyn looked over her shoulder. A boy was standing behind her. He had blond shaggy hair and bright green eyes. His face was smudged in dirt and he looked around 6 years old. He was at least an inch taller then Evelyn. His jeans were torn to pieces and his white shirt was stained beyond belief. She stood up and put her hands on her hips like she had seen her mother do many times.
"Who are you?" She snapped.
"The name's Garret, toots." He said with a cocky attitude. "And you might be?"
"I'm Evelyn." The little girl snapped. "And I was doing fine before you started ta push me."
"Maybe to you." Garret laughed.
"What's that supposed ta mean?" Evelyn snapped.
"You suck at swinging." Garret explained.
"I'm the besetest swinger in the world." Evelyn yelled.
"Yeah right." Garret explained. "You're just a dumb little baby."
"I am not!" Evelyn snapped. "I'm older then you."
"Oh yeah, how old are you?" Garret questioned.
"5." Evelyn stated proudly.
"I'm 6 and a half." Garret said. Evelyn frowned.
"What're you doin here?" Evelyn questioned.
"I was walkin' 'round and saw your awful swinging." Garret explained. "So I decided to help you out." Evelyn stuck her tongue out at him.
"You should go." Evelyn said, turning her back on the boy and going towards the house.
"C'mon. I was only kiddin." He explained. Evelyn looked over her shoulder.
"Well then….." She said. "I want you to teach me how to be a good swingerer."
"No prob." He said. Evelyn strolled back to her swing. "You just gotta pump your legs."
"How?" She questioned. He sat next to her. He started to swing. Evelyn studied his leg motions. She started to copy them. As she did, she started to swing. Going higher and higher. Soon they were swinging at the same rate and height. Evelyn giggled the higher they got. "I'm really doin it!"
"Yeah, you are." Garret added. After a while the two slowed down and were back on the ground.
"That was cool." Evelyn giggled. Garret smiled.
"Evelyn!" Her mother called. "Come inside."
"I gotta go." Evelyn said as she rushed to the door.
"Wait, can we play sometime?" Garret asked.
"Why don't you come to my birthday party." Evelyn suggested. "It's at noon."
"Okay, I'll be there." Garret said as Evelyn rushed into the house.
"Who were you talking to?" Her mother asked.
"My friend Garret." Evelyn answered. "He's kinda a jerk but he's nice too."
"That's lovely." Her mother said.
"I'm home!" DJ called. Evelyn rushed to the front door. There was a wrapped package in his hands.
"Daddy!" She cheered, giving her dad a big hug. "Can I open my present now?"
"No, honey. You have to wait until the party." Her dad explained. The girl pouted a little.
"Don't give me that look." He replied. "There's one present you can have early." Evelyn's face lightened up. A car door slammed outside.
"I don't thee why we have to go to this thtupid birthday party." A certain duck complained from outside. Evelyn was amazed.
"Daffy stop complaining." Another voice replied. This one, was Evelyn's favorite. She rushed outside and saw them leaving a limo. The limo drove off and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck stood in front of her.
"Naw. What's up doc?" The rabbit greeted. Evelyn ran up to them and hugged him both.
"Oh my gosh! It's really you!" The little girl squealed.
"No autographth kid. We're buthy." Daffy said as he walked into the house. Evelyn gripped Bugs Bunny's hand and she practically skipped as they walked inside.
"Mommy mommy!" Evelyn proclaimed. "They're here!"
"Who's here?" Kate questioned.
"Bugs Bunny and Daffy!" Evelyn yelled. "They're really here." She was so excited.
"Icy thee wolf, it's good to thee ya." Daffy said to Kate.
"Why'd you invite them?" Kate asked.
"I bumped into them on the way to the store and invited them over." DJ explained. "You know how much Evelyn loves them." Kate sighed.
"Fine." She agreed. DJ turned to the duck and rabbit.
"She just adores you." DJ said.
"Of courthe thee does." Daffy replied. "Everyone loveth me."
"I was talking to Bugs." DJ explained.
"Oh." Daffy groaned.
"Bugs! Bugs!" Evelyn yelled excitedly.
"Yeah, kid?" Bugs asked.
"What's up doc?" Evelyn asked with a bright smile.
"Oh brother." Daffy groaned.
"Notin much. You doc?" Bugs asked.
"It's my birthday." Evelyn said, rocking on her feet. "Thank you for commin."
"Hey, no problem kid." Bugs said, ruffling her hair. She giggled.
"You too Daffy." Evelyn said to the duck.
"Uh huh." Daffy replied absently.
"I THSAY ITHS DUCK THEASON AN I THSAY FIRE!" The little girl yelled. Then she made a loud rifle sound. "Boom!" Bugs smirked.
"Everyone'th a comedian, huh?" Daffy commented.
"Sweetheart, the guests are starting to arrive." Kate called from the kitchen
"I'll be right back." Evelyn said to Bugs. "Don't leave okay."
"I won't." Bugs said as she rushed to the door.
"She's a cute goyle." Bugs said to DJ.
"Yeah, she is." DJ said. "You should've seen her last week. She was singing your square dancing song non-stop."
"Ain't that sweet." Bugs said to Daffy.
"Yeah, adorable." The duck groaned.
"She insisted she had carrot cake for her birthday." Kate explained as she put the finished cake in the fridge.
"I swear, I think all those carrots made her hair that orange color." DJ commented. That's when Evelyn rushed back in with five other girls.
"Hi!" The girls waved.
"Hello girls." DJ said. "There's pizza in the dining room."
"Hey, is that Bugs Bunny?" One asked with a smile.
"Nah, that's just a dude in a costume." The second said.
"He is not!" Evelyn snapped.
"Is too!" She replied.
"Is not!" Evelyn replied.
"Is too!" She shouted. That's when Evelyn smirked.
"Is too." Evelyn said.
"Is not." The second girl replied.
"I'm glad you see it my way." Evelyn said, skipping to the dining room.
"Hey wait!" She called as she and the other girls ran after her.
"I really like this kid." Bugs said to DJ and Kate. They smirked. There was a knock on the door. DJ opened it. Garret stood at the front steps. Wearing clean jeans and a nice shirt. In his hand was an envelope.
"Hey, I'm Garret." He said. "I came for Evelyn's party."
"Oh come in." DJ said as he let him in. "She's in the dinning room with her friends."
"Thanks." Garret said. The boy walked into the dining room. The adults followed him. When Emma and Rachel saw the boy they cringed.
"Ew! You invited a boy?" The third yelled in disgust.
"Boys are icky." The fourth added.
"This one's different." Evelyn explained.
"Hey toots." Garret said.
"Hi." Evelyn smiled and waved.
"Gotcha a present." Garret said, handing her the card.
"Mommy? Can I open it?" Evelyn asked. She stuck out her lip a lidding and had a pleading look in her eyes.
"Sure, we were just going to open presents anyway." Kate said. She pulled out her day planner. "1:15, present time. Then in exactly ten minutes we'll start up the cake and then-"
"Lady, you need to stop being so uptight." Bugs said. "You can't plan every second of your life."
"Watch me." Kate said. Evelyn greedily opened her presents. She got two barbie dolls, a coloring book, a princess dress and an easy bake oven from the girls. Then she got to Garret's present. She opened up the card.
"Ha…ppy Bir…thday." Evelyn read. She was starting to get a hang of this whole literacy thing. She looked at the inside. It was a picture of Evelyn and Garret on the swing set. Hand drawn of course. "Thank you Garret."
"No prob." He replied.
"I got you a present too." Bugs replied. He handed her a carrot.
"Yum!" Evelyn said as she took a big chomp at it. "Mank u!" She said with a mouthful.
"Eh, no prob." Bugs said.
"Last present." DJ said, placing a box on the table. Evelyn teared at it. "Careful!" Whens she opened it up, Evelyn couldn't believe her eyes. It was a bunny!
"Oh my gosh!" She shouted. Hugging the bunny tight. "I will name him George. And I will love him and hug him and squeeze him." However, she didn't squeeze him. She just petted him.
That was the best birthday Evelyn ever had. She got to meet her heroes. She got the best bunny ever and she met her best friend. No, not any of the girls. Garret. However, that was the last time those looney tunes were ever invited to the Drake house. Something happened that night. Something terrible.
Evelyn yawned. She and Bugs were watching the looney tunes. The little girl was trying to stay awake. Whenever her eyes got heavy she'd pry them open.
"Maybe it's time you outta go to bed." Bugs suggested.
"NO! I can't!" She shouted frantically. "If I fall asleep then the greatest day of my whole life would be over and you'd be gone and I'd never see you again!"
"Hey, tell ya what." Bugs said. "Me and Daff'll come to everyone of your birthdays. How's that sound?"
"Don't drag me into thith!" Daffy snapped.
"Deal!" Evelyn replied. With that, she flopped over, asleep.
"Well, that wath a watt of time." Daffy complained.
"Hey, the kid had a great day." Bugs said.
"Yeah, a really good day." DJ said. Suddenly, the TV remote started ringing.
"Oh brother." Daffy groaned. DJ flipped on the TV. His father was on the screen. However instead of fighting ninjas he was sitting in an office.
"Good evening son." He greeted. "Kate, Bugs, Daffy." He added. "You're in terrible danger."
"Do you ever call with good newth?" Daffy questioned.
"The Chairman of ACME has escaped from prison." Damien Drake said grimly. "And my guess is he's coming after the four of you for revenge."
"They always want revenge." Bugs sighed.
"You guys though, aren't what I'm worried about." Damien added. "It's Evelyn." He nodded to the girl sleeping on the couch.
"Evelyn?" Kate questioned, hoping she'd heard wrong. Damien nodded.
"If he finds out about her she'd be in grave danger." He added. "I think the best thing is to lay low. Odds are he'll have a spy watching you." He took a deep breath. I think it's best if she doesn't spend time with the Bugs and Daffy."
"Thank god." Daffy sighed.
"Why not?" Bugs questioned.
"The more time she spends with you, the more she gets noticed." Damien explained. "She needs to stay incognito." Damien looked at his granddaughter. "She's not gonna like it, but you need to pretend the Looney Tunes don't exist. Have her convinced she imagined the two of you here and that the Looney Tunes is just a cartoon."
"Is there any other way?" DJ asked. Damien shook his head gravely. "I better take her up stairs."
"I'm sorry.' Damien said. With that, the screen went blank. DJ picked up his daughter.
"I think you better go." He said to the toons as he took the little girl to her room.
"I hate breaking promises." Bugs commented as he and Daffy left the house.
