It's a beautiful day in Acme Acres, and all the toons we're at Acme Loo, getting ready to have class with Bugs Bunny.
Cliff, who just settled into his new home in Acme Acres with his mother after they moved from South San Francisco, was sitting in a chair with his Steinberger bass guitar plugged into a small amp, with Furrball sitting next to him, playing his Gibson-SG. Fifi & Heather were watching their boyfriends from their desks.
"Any idea where Pratt is?", Cliff asked, referring to Calamity. After he created a Rush tribute band named The Subdivisions with Furrball & Calamity, the trio started using the same nicknames that Rush themselves often used in accordance with their placements in the band.
Furrball's nickname is Lerxst, since he's the lead guitarist of The Subdivisions, while Cliff's is Dirk, for he's the lead singer & bass player, and Calamity, being the drummer, is nicknamed Pratt.
"Non", Fifi replied, "I haven't heard from heem nor Cosette."
"I'm sure they'll be here soon", Heather commented. Heather is Cliff's girlfriend, who is also a cat like him. She was born in London & speaks in a British accent.
"It shouldn't take much longer", Furrball said, "he should show up anytime."
Cliff then started playing his guitar, with Furrball following along. Cliff then started singing a few lines.
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
Suddenly, the door opened, and the toons looked to see Calamity & Cosette entering the room.
"Hey guys", the grey coyote greeted, "sorry we're late."
"Not a problem", Cliff responded.
"Good morneeng, mes amis", Cosette said.
"Good morning", the others replied.
Calamity then said, "Hey, Professor Bunny is on his way here. Might wanna get ready."
And sure enough, as Bugs Bunny entered the classroom, the toons all took their seats.
"Good Morning, everyone", Bugs said.
"Good morning, Professor Bunny", the class replied.
"Before we get started with today's lessons, I have a very special announcement to make."
"Oh boy!", Buster said excitedly.
"Tomorrow, we will have some visitors coming here to Acme Loo, and I believe some of you already know who it's gonna be."
"I haven't heard anything", Cliff said.
"Like, not that I know of", Shirley commented.
"I have no idea who it is", Babs spoke.
After a moment, Bugs gave the toons the answer.
"It's the Animaniacs."
The toons all exclaimed excitedly. They haven't seen or heard from most of them since the 90's.
The most recent encounter was when Buster came across Slappy the Squirrel at Warner Bros. Studio, when he brought Cliff & Heather to get them their Tiny Toons licenses.
"Ooh!", Cosette exclaimed, "Zhe Animaniacs are comeeng here!"
"No way!", Plucky said, "That's awesome!"
Hamton then said, "Well, tomorrow's gonna be quite a fun day."
"Yeah, you said it", Cliff responded.
"Is everyone gonna be here?", asked Buster.
"Yep, everyone", Bugs replied, "The Warner brothers & their sister Dot, Slappy, Pinky & the Brain, everyone."
The toons all chattered excitedly about the upcoming day.
Later on after school, the toons all went to the park to have some fun.
Hamton is having a picnic with his family, while Buster, Babs, Plucky, and Shirley were playing frisbee. Cliff is sitting on a bench playing an acoustic bass guitar, while Furrball & Fifi were someplace else by themselves.
Nobody knows where they are at the moment, since they both split from the rest of the group as soon as they all arrived at the park.
Over at the frisbee game, Plucky threw a shot that went way above Babs' head.
"Nice going, Plucky", Babs said sarcastically as she & Buster both chased after the frisbee. Once the two bunnies found it, they spotted a dog sniffing it curiously.
"There it is!", Babs exclaimed as she went & picked up the frisbee. The dog smiled upon seeing the two bunnies & started barking happily. Buster saw the dog & a thought struck him.
"Say, you look very familiar", the blue bunny said. He knows he seen this dog before, but can't quite put his finger on it.
The dog then went up to Buster, panting happily. The blue bunny leaned forward & read the name on the dog's collar.
"Barky Marky?", Buster asked, and the dog barked happily in response.
"Hey, Barky Marky!", Buster exclaimed happily, "So good to see you again."
Barky Marky then pounced onto Buster & started licking his face. Babs then went up to the dog & started scratching his head.
She then said, "I knew we'd encounter a long forgotten friend someday."
As Barky Marky stepped off of Buster, the blue bunny stood, wiping the dog drool off his face.
"It's good to have you back", Buster said, "quite a lot has changed since the last time we've seen you."
"Yeah", Babs then said, "come on back with us. I bet everyone else will be delighted to see you again."
Barky Marky then followed the two bunnies back to Plucky & Shirley.
"What took you so long?", asked Plucky.
"Oh, nothing", Buster answered, "except that we came across some unexpected company."
"Like, who is it?", questioned Shirley. The two bunnies stepped aside & Barky Marky is shown.
"Barky Marky!", Shirley said in surprise as the dog ran up to her. Shirley kneeled down & started rubbing Barky Marky under his chin, causing him to stamp his foot rapidly.
"Well, what a surprise", Plucky commented. "I wonder where he's been all these years."
As Shirley stopped rubbing Barky Marky, Buster said, "Come along, Barky Marky."
The dog followed Buster & Babs to where they spotted Hamton, eating with his parents.
"You remember Hamton, don't you?", Buster asked Barky Marky, who nodded.
"We should point out", Babs started, "that a couple of things have changed big time."
"One of them is a new character", Buster commented.
Buster & Babs bought the dog over to where Cliff is, still playing his acoustic bass guitar.
"Hiya, Cliff", Buster greeted.
"Heyo", Cliff responded. "Who's the dog?"
"This is our old friend, Barky Marky. Barky Marky, meet Cliff Evans. He just recently moved here."
"Hello there", Cliff said as Barky Marky went up to the tan cat. Cliff then started scratching the dog's head.
"Cliff is a really fun guy to hang out with", Babs commented. "He's quite the party animal."
Cliff chuckled & replied, "You could say that."
Buster then said, "He created a Rush tribute band with Furrball & Calamity. Speaking of which, where are they anyway?"
Cliff answered, "Well, Pratt's driving his robot around, and as for Lerxst, I can't find him anywhere."
"That's odd", said Babs, "he disappeared along with Fifi as soon as we got here."
"Boy, I can easily imagine what they're up to."
The trio then left Cliff & made their way to Calamity. He's driving his combat robot, Razer, around the park, with Cosette accompanying him.
The grey coyote is showing off his robot to a group of children, who are all amazed by the radio controlled machine.
"Hey Calamity", Buster called out.
"Excuse me for a minute", Calamity said to the kids before he & Cosette went up to the trio.
"Look who we have here", Babs said, referring to Barky Marky.
"Oh, hey! It's Barky Marky!"
Barky Marky stared at Calamity & Cosette curiously. He's never heard Calamity talk before, and doesn't know who Cosette is.
Buster seemed to know what the dog is thinking & said, "Yes, Calamity can talk now."
"Aww", Cosette said, going up to Barky Marky & petting him, "what a cute leetle dog."
"This is Cosette Le Peu", Babs said to Barky Marky, "she is Calamity's girlfriend & Fifi's cousin."
Buster then said, "Speaking of Fifi, you wouldn't happen to know where she is, do you?"
"Ooh", Cosette replied, "zhey are at zhe ozher side of zhe park. Eet's best not to, how you say, disturb them."
"Got it", Buster winked as he, along with Babs & Barky Marky, walked off to find Furrball & Fifi. After a few minutes of searching, they've spotted them.
"There they are", Babs said. The trio spotted Furrball & Fifi sitting against a tree, both wrapped in Fifi's tail & each others arms, kissing slowly & lovingly.
Barky Marky barked questionably at the sight. He's never seen the cat & skunk together before, and never actually thought they would be a loving, caring couple in the first place.
"Boy", Babs spoke up, "they do make a great couple. Just like us, right Buster?"
Buster replied, "Yeah, you can say that."
"Y'know, they aren't just a great couple. They are the perfect couple. They were made for each other, and they'll be together forever."
The trio looked on as Furrball & Fifi broke their kiss & stared at each other romantically. They smiled & gently rubbed their noses together.
Later on, Furrball & Fifi were in their home in the Cadillac, doing their homework. Furrball was nearly finished with his, while Fifi's not far behind.
"Say Furrball", Fifi spoke up.
"Yes?"
"Zhat song you & Cliff were playeeng earlier. What's eet called?"
"It's called Faithless, and it's one of the few songs we've been practicing lately."
Furrball, along with Cliff & Calamity, have been doing their own covers of every single Rush song & released their own albums across the country. They've made a lot of hits, and gained popularity very quickly.
Up to this point, they're practicing the songs from the Snakes & Arrows album. They played a few songs live previously, but now they're working on getting the hang of all the songs on the album.
"Eet's a good song, no?", Fifi asked, referring to the song Faithless.
"It's one of Cliff's favorite song", Furrball replied, "and I like it as well."
Once Furrball finished his homework, he closed his books & put the supplies away in his backpack. He leaned back & relaxed on the bed, as Fifi continued with her homework.
"Do you need help with anything?", Furrball asked.
"Non, I'm alright", Fifi answered.
"Are you sure?"
"Oui, I am almost finished."
"Okay, just making sure."
Fifi smiled upon Furrball's offers & act of kindness. Once she finished with her homework, she began putting her stuff away.
Furrball watched her with a smile, feeling very happy to be living in a home with his special sweetheart.
Fifi looked up & noticed Furrball watching her, then smiled back at him.
"What are vous smiling for?", she asked.
"Oh, a number of reasons", Furrball replied, "and they all have to do with you."
"Oh? What are zhey?"
"You want to know?"
"Oui, I do."
Once Fifi finished putting her stuff away, she sat up, waiting for Furrball to respond.
"Come closer", Furrball beckoned. Fifi crawled her way up to Furrball & lied down on his chest. The blue cat wrapped his arms around Fifi, who stared up at him with loving eyes.
"I'm smiling about...how happy I am being with you. Living the perfect life...with the perfect girlfriend."
Fifi smiled & slowly wrapped her arms around her boyfriend. She gently nuzzled her head under Furrball's chin, as the blue cat started purring.
They both closed their eyes & smiled as they held each other on the bed in a warm, loving embrace, with their tails wrapped around together.
The cat & skunk enjoyed their romantic time together, embracing each other for nearly an hour, both very happy to be living together as, like Babs said, the perfect couple.
