It's a calm, cloudy Saturday morning in Acme Acres. A few days have passed after the arrival of the new year, and many people were looking forward to see what this new year has in store. Some people think many great things will happen this year, especially a recently new couple.
Within the fences of the Acme Junkyard lies a red Cadillac. This car is the home of Fifi La Fume.
She is a young, beautiful, purple skunk who was born in Paris, France & is currently attending Acme Looniversity, where she made many friends & learned a lot on how to be like the Looney Tunes.
She is asleep in her bed, cuddling with a young, handsome, blue cat named Furrball. Furrball is another student of Acme Loo, and he used to be a homeless alleycat who was cursed with bad luck. Furrball spent most of his life trying to find a home, but was unsuccessful. However, just days before Christmas, his luck went from bad to good.
It all started after Fifi broke up with Hamton J. Pig, who was her boyfriend at the time, after she found out he betrayed her by going out with another girl in school.
Furrball witnessed the break-up & decided to cheer up Fifi by giving her a golden heart-shaped locket as a Christmas gift & asked her out to the school's Christmas Dance.
While at the dance, Furrball revealed to Fifi the times she chased him around whenever he had a stripe on his back, in which Fifi replied with an emotional apology & that he shouldn't be afraid of her anymore.
After the dance, Furrball also revealed that he didn't have a home & that he has no family to take care of him. In fact, he believed nobody in the entire town of Acme Acres cared for him.
But Fifi said she did care for Furrball, and proved it by letting him move in with her & finally have a place to call home. In return, Furrball offered to be Fifi's new boyfriend, which she gladly accepted.
The cat & skunk were asleep peacefully with smiles on their faces. It was 8:00 AM, and Fifi woke up first. She slowly opened her eyes & was looking straight up at the ceiling. She rubbed her eyes & stretched her arms & tail. She turned to her side & faced Furrball, who was still sound asleep, just slightly purring.
Fifi gently rubbed his cheek to wake him up. He did, and saw his girlfriend staring at him lovingly.
"Good morneeng, mon amore", she gently said. "Good morning", Furrball replied.
"Are vous hungry, my love?"
"Yeah, a little bit."
"I'll make us some french toast."
"Mmmmmm, sounds good to me."
The two got out of bed, with Furrball on all fours, stretching out his arms & back, until a loud POP was heard. Fifi turned to Furrball with wide, surprised eyes.
"Sacre bleu", she said, "was zhat you?"
"Yeah", Furrball replied as he stood, "I just popped my back."
"Yikes, zhat sounds like eet hurts, no?"
"No, it actually feels good."
Furrball went out to get the newspapers, while Fifi started making breakfast. As Furrball got to the papers placed by the junkyard entrance, he spotted Calamity Coyote walking by across the street.
"Morning Calamity!", Furrball shouted. Calamity waved back & held up a sign that says, "Good morning!"
"Taking your early morning walk?" Calamity replied with a nod.
"Okay, well, enjoy your walk." As Furrball turned to head back inside, Calamity ran up to him & tapped on his shoulder.
After Furrball turned, Calamity's sign read, "What's it like living with Fifi?"
"I really enjoy it", Furrball answered, "it is, by far, a lot better than living in that alley."
Calamity flipped his sign, which now says, "I'm glad to hear that. You should probably consider yourself lucky to live with someone like her."
"Yeah, maybe", Furrball replied in an uncertain tone. After hearing what Calamity just said, Furrball started wondering how he ended up getting together with Fifi in the first place, after everything that happened in the past. Was it luck that got him to live with Fifi & be her boyfriend? Or was it something else? Furrball couldn't put his finger on it.
Calamity now held a sign that read, "I gotta get going, must continue with my morning stroll."
"Okay, later Cal."
Calamity waved goodbye to Furrball as he continued on walking down the road. Furrball picked up the newspapers & went back inside the Cadillac, where the smell of french toast filled his nostrils.
"Mmmmmmmmm", he said upon entering the car. Fifi just finished making their breakfast as Furrball sat down.
"Here you are, Furrball", Fifi said upon giving Furrball his breakfast.
"Yummy, looks good. Thanks."
"You're welcome. Bon appetit."
The cat & skunk ate their breakfast & read the newspapers. Furrball then spoke up.
"Hey Fifi."
"Yes?"
"What do you want to do today?"
"I dunno."
"Wanna go to the park after we eat?"
"Oui, zhat sounds like a great idea."
"Okay, we'll do that then."
After they ate their breakfast, the couple stepped outside to head to the park. As Fifi locked her Cadillac door, Furrball noticed the locket around her neck. Just recently, she placed a picture of herself & Furrball together in the locket, as a reminder of how their relationship began.
After Fifi locked up her home, she took Furrball's hand & they headed off to the park.
