CHRISTMAS IN PARIS

Part I

Almost a year has already passed since the story in the Mr. Clean's secret base. During this time, a lot has changed in the lives of two residents of Acme Acres. A certain young blue cat ceased to be homeless and lonely. In turn, a certain young purple skunkette found her true love, in addition reciprocated.

Furrball and Fifi live a happy student life. They were living together in a Cadillac on the Junk Yard. The enamored couple caused a sensation in ACME Looniversity. Babs and Shirley were very surprised, when the skunkette told them, that she's in love with the cat. Her friends changed their mind, when they saw how Furrball takes care of his girlfriend and how they spend time together on a school breaks and beyond the Acme Loo. The girls stated, that Fifi couldn't ask for a better boyfriend.

The purple toon drank a glass of tomato juice every day. She wanted to getting rid of her well-known smell in this way, specially for her beloved. The skunkette claimed, that she doesn't need the smell as her protection, because she feels safest when Furrball is with her. Disappearance of the odor made, that Fifi became more attractive for the majority of boys from ACME Loo. They repeatedly tried to flirt with her, but she always said, that they were too late, because she already found her true love for the whole life. The lover, who loved her no matter the smell. For this reason, the boys repeatedly said to Furrball, that he's a lucky toon.

"A lucky toon"... Furrball didn't think, that anyone will named him in this way. The blue cat was very quickly accepted by all the animal toons. All thanks to Fifi, who told everyone how he rescued the skunks (and her too) from extermination. Only Sweetie Pie didn't want to be friends with Furrball. She everytime tried to knock him off balance and bring him to the pain and hurt. But one day, the pink canary was captured by the Fifi's tail. The purple toon said, that if the bird won't leave her boyfriend alone, she'll catch her again and will give her to him for dinner. It worked. When Sweetie noticed Furrball on her way, she turned into an other school hallway.

The blue cat has changed himself for better, thanks to the relationship with Fifi. This girl had a good influence for him. Furrball has become more open to others. Increasingly, he was willing to talk with other classmates. The toon has also become more calm. He had his beloved and a permanent roof over his head, so the cat didn't feel the need to hunt. As a result, he quickly became friends with Lil' Sneezer. Not only with him. Furrball every day heard at school "Hi!", "How are you?", "Nice to see you!", "Come on, listen to this!" from his buddies. It was a completely new experience for the cat, who was lonely not long ago. Ironically, his best friend became Calamity, a mute coyote, who communicated instead with written signs. Furrball was very willing to help him at work on new inventions. The cat and the coyote perfectly communicated each other without words. The blue toon could feel like a few months ago, when he also was almost mute. But he didn't miss the old times. He was glad, that he found someone, who really cared for him and he was so happy, that it's Fifi.

As it turned out, Furrball was a very good student and he quickly learned to dance tango after lessons with Fifi. The enamored couple took off in a dance competition at ACME Loo. The skunkette and the cat looked charming on the dance floor. They did all the dance routines perfectly and deservedly won the main prize. Surprisingly for them, it appeared that the competition was the first step in a national school dance contest. Fifi and Furrball have become ACME Loo representatives in the next step. The competition was strong, but the toons gave advice and have won promotion again. To the delight of his friends, who cheered them on the stands. The success was even greater, because they defeated the rivals of Perfecto Prep. The next round, which was the state level, was to be held after the summer vacation.

Outside school, Fifi and Furrball also spent a lot of time together. They didn't only go on a date to the cinema, the city park or the amusement park. The toons also liked to spend time at their home. The purple skunkette loved to sit next to her boyfriend on the Cadillac's back seats, turned on a moody music and surrounded him by her bushy tail. Furrball also hugged his girlfriend and began to purr. She loved the sound of his purr. Then they both began to kiss. They loved those moments in the car. They could be snuggled together for many hours. They felt happily.

Summer was coming, and thus the school exams were coming too. Fifi and Furrball helped each other with homeworks and jointly studied for exams. Collaborative learning wasn't only more enjoyable for them, but also produced good results. The toons passed all the exams and they be able to think about summer vacation. It Furrball had to decide, where they will go to the first joint vacation.

The cat long wondered what to choose. He had so many different ideas and he really wanted to see how his beloved is delighted. The toon circled around piles of garbage in the Junk Yard, until he saw a certain object. Furrball pulled its out from the top of the waste. It was a tandem bicycle. Suddenly, he got a glare. The blue cat ran with a broken bike to Calamity. The coyote with a happy to helped his friend. The next day, the vehicle was ready. It looked like a new, like from a shop window. At the same time, Furrball has found an old tent, thrown by someone. The toon had washed it, cleaned, patched holes and painted it. The purple skunkette was a bit surprised, when for the question "That's where are nous leave?" received the answer "Where do we want!". But when Fifi heard details of her boyfriend's idea about travel into the unknown on the tandem bicycle and seeing what fate will bring them, she agreed with him. She even stated, that this is a very romantic idea.

They spent the many beautiful moments this summer. They visited many places under the common bicycle expedition. They were together at the seaside and in the mountains. They visited a number of cities in which they not only renewed their food supply, but they also viewed the sights, went to the cinema or other local attractions. Fifi was delighted, but the most impressed for her were days spent on the riverside or lakeside. Furrball pitched the tent and he went to fish for dinner. Then they viewed the sunset together and they sat by a campfire. Later, if the weather was good, they being snuggled together and looked at the stars in the sky. The skunkette was very happy. She felt like the heroine of one of the romances, which had a lot in her library. The purple toon could finally forget about his previous, unsuccessful summer vacation. During one night at the lakeside, she told the whole story to her beloved. About how she tried to find Johnny Pew and get his autograph. She was in love with him, but later she realized who he really is. She lost her entire vacation by this ignorant. When Fifi ended her story on this, how Johnny got into the hands of Elmyra, Furrball laughed.

"I never thought I'd say this, but he deserved to hit on Elmyra," he said with a smile.

"But I was terribly silly.", she added.

"Don't say that. It's this boor couldn't see your beauty, my kitty.", the cat replied.

"Oh, mon amour. Vous always know, how to improve moi mood." the skunkette snuggled stronger to her boyfriend and she began to whisper in his ear, "Merci. Merci that I have vous in moi life. And for those wonderful holiday. The most beautiful that I had ever."

All good thing come to an end. The summer vacation also come to an end. Fifi and Furrball returned on the tandem bicycle to Acme Acres to begin the next year of education in the Acme Loo. The purple skunkette had much to tell to her friends. Shirley and Babs were delighted to her vacation's memories. They didn't think, that her boyfriend can have such creative ideas.

In the autumn there was the next stage of dance competition. The toons felt slightly nervous, but they proved once again, that dancing is fun for them. In spite of all, the skunkette and the cat nervously awaited the verdict of the jury. It worked. They were mentioned as the last pair with qualify for the national stage of the competition. The stage, which was to take place in the spring.

The landmark year for Fifi and Furrball was slowly ending. The toons' life has changed beyond recognition. Changed for the better, of course. Meanwhile, December began. In Acme Acres did smell the upcoming Christmas. This was to be a completely new experience for the blue cat. He had to spend this magical time with someone beloved, for the first time in his life. So far, he always spent his Christmas alone. Furrball necessarily wanted make a unique gift for Fifi. Such a gift, that she will always remember their first Christmas together. There was only one, but a serious problem. He hadn't money. The toon wasn't going to give up. Shortly after school lessons, he would disappear for a few hours and returned in the evening to the cadillac. The skunkette worried about him and asked where he disappears for so many hours. The cat answered, that she shouldn't worry for him and he had explain everything for a dozen days.

When one day Furrball returned home, Fifi was reading a letter. The purple skunkette looked at him:

"Bonjour, mon amour! Sit down, s'il te plaît! I got an important message", she said.

"The message? From whom? From where?", he didn't hide his surprise.

"From mes parents, from Paris.", the skunkette said.

"Paris? Wait a minute... I thought, that skunks don't exist in Europe.", the cat didn't understand again.

"Because it's true, mon petit pussycat of passion.", she giggled. "Long ago, mes grandparents took part in the ocean expedition and arrived in France. Mes parents met in the U.S., but they living in the suburbs of Paris. I was born in this city and lived in it before going to ACME Loo."

"Oh, I didn't think, that you come from Paris!", Furrball said.

"And did vous think, that where I come from? With such an accent?", Fifi smiled and blinked to him.

"I thought, that you come from Quebec, from the French speaking part of Canada or something...", he explained.

"Oh, mon silly boy." she said with joking voice and she returned to the subject of the letter. "Mes parents are asking moi, that would I arrive at Christmas to them. They didn't see moi a long time."

"They are right.", the blue cat lowered his head. "It seems, that you have already made plans for Christmas..."

"Wait... Why did vous say 'vous'? Vous wanted to tell 'nous'!", she interrupted him.

"What?", he raised his head and looked surprised at his girlfriend.

"Do vous not understand? I have come with vous to Paris! Mes parents necessarily want to meet vous! "

"They... They know me?"

"Of course! I wrote them many times about vous. About how vous saved all the skunks, their moreover too, from extinction. About how vous take care of moi and how nous spent notre summer vacation. They go crazy for vous!", Fifi smiled at her boyfriend .

"Did they... did they know, that... that I'm not a skunk?", Furrball asked.

"Non... Non yet...", she said, but then added: "But ma famille is tolerant. They will love vous! Vous will see that everything will be fine."

"If you say so...", he said.

"Oh, look! They sent money for the tickets! So what do we do?", the purple toon asked her beloved and showed banknotes in an envelope.

"I don't forbid you seeing your family, my kitty. We'll go for Christmas to Paris, of course!", the blue cat responded and grabbed his love's hand.

"Vous êtes wonderful!", she hugged and kissed him. Then she got up and walked toward the front door. "Come on, mon amour! Nous have to go to the airport and book airline tickets!"
