The blue furred bunny stared up at the entrance to the gym where the Looney Tunes were supposedly training for the big game coming up in a few days time. Supposedly because the sounds coming from inside the gym resembled something akin to a war going on inside instead of the familiar drumming of basketballs thumping off the floor and running feet.

"Oh yeah, we're doomed" Said his companion a pink furred female bunny.

"If it weren't for Bugs' quick thinking, we would already be rehearsing our lines for our first show at our new home for the rest of our lives" The blue bunny countered as he turned to look at her.

The pink bunny smiled at her companion's words. She had known him long enough to know that, despite turning away from comedy and towards sports such as basketball and football, he would still jump to his idol's defence whenever someone tried to disrespect him.

"Yet he picked a sport that none of them knew diddlysquat about" She pointed out.

"They were smaller than usduring our time on screen when they first arrived, and we were barely a foot tall back then" The blue bunny replied before picking up the duffle bag at his feet. "Well, wish me luck"

The pink bunny grabbed him by the neck of his red tank top and pulled him in for a quick kiss.

"You did say 'kiss me love', right?" She asked once she released him.

The blue bunny shook his head as he pulled out of the pink bunny's grasp and walked towards the double doors to the gym. The pink bunny watched him go in before turning round and heading off towards the cafe she was meeting her friends at to discuss cheerleader routines for the match only to stop when she saw a tan girl bunny walking towards her with a basketball under one arm.

"You" She growled as if she had just seen who had ruined her favourite top.

"Please tell me we're not going to go through this again" The tan bunny groaned apparently tired of the conversation to come.

"Only once you stop stalking my boyfriend" The pink bunny replied standing her full height so that she was only just smaller than her supposed nemesis.

"For the last time Babs" The tan bunny sighed exasperatedly. "The only reason I play one-on-one with your boyfriend is because he's the only one that can keep up with me"

"And you're here because?" Babs asked still glaring at the tan bunny as she crossed her arms.

"I heard his idol managed to snag Michael Jordan who is my idol and I want to see if they'll let me play" The tan bunny answered before side-stepping past Babs and continued walking towards the gym.

Babs Bunny growled at the retreating bunny's back as she tried to choose between meeting her friends or going back to the gym to keep an eye on her boyfriend and see if he remained loyal to her. Snorting quietly, she chose to stick with her original idea and headed off towards the cafe.

"It's a crying shame when your idol is seen making a fool of himself"

Bugs Bunny stopped trying his attempt to dribble the basketball past Elmer and turned to face the entrance doors of the gym with Michael and the rest of the Toons mimicking his action. Walking towards them after tossing his duffel bag in the corner was a blue furred bunny in shorts and a red tank top he had not seen since the buck's graduation day.

"You've got some noive showing up, bub" Bugs growled as the buck stopped walking several paces from him. "You graduated from dah school of higher learning for lower comedy wid honours only tah give it up fer a career in sports, an expect me tah welcome yah wid open arms for comin at our darkest moment?"

"Figured I could repay your tutelage by lending a hand" The blue bunny replied unfazed by his idol's speech. "And I prefer handshakes over hugs, Bugs"

Bugs stared at the blue bunny with a hard glare for several seconds before finally allowing the grin he had been holding back to show as he clasped the bunny's hand.

"Good tah see yah again, Buster" He grinned letting go of the bunny's hand.

"Buster?" Michael repeated in disbelief. "As in the Buster Bunny from Tiny Toon Adventures?"

"You know any other rabbits called Buster, buster?" Buster replied.

"But...you're..." The last time Michael had seen the blue rabbit on the TV, he was almost half the size he was now.

"Voice broke and growth spurt. Why else did you think my voice changed near the end of 'Slumberhouse of Horrors'?" Buster explained.

Michael shook his head before asking a more serious question. "You any good at basketball?"

Buster simply replied by taking the basketball from Bugs and chucking it at the hoop on the far wall. The ball sunk straight through the hoop for an easy three pointer.

"That answers your question?" He asked the basketball pro who was impressed that someone a third his size could score from there.

"Yeah, you're definitely in" He conceded as the rest of the toons nodded in agreement.

"Um, can I play as well?" A female voice asked from the direction of the gym doors causing heads to turn in that direction to see a tan girl bunny walk slightly nervously towards them.

'Why am I not surprised to see her here?' Buster asked himself mentally before being bowled over by a gray blur as Bugs literally rushed up to meet the tan furred blond haired bombshell.

"Hi, my name is Lola Bunny" The girl said holding her hand out for Bugs who shook it delicately.

"Lola" Bugs repeated the name sounding heavenly in his head.

"Yes" Lola giggled finding it amusing that one of the world's most popular cartoon characters was apparently smitten with here.

"Hello, my name is Buuugs!" Bugs introduced himself inhaling to make himself look more impressive only to make a fool of himself by belching out his name. Quickly turning away as he cleared his throat, Bugs turned to face Lola again and tried a different tact. "You wanna play a little one-on-one, doll?"

Buster winced when he heard Bugs call her that. This was not going to end well for the gray bunny.

"Doll?" Lola repeated her face a mask of unparalleled fury that contrasted with the infatuated gaze Bugs was sporting as he nodded. "On the court, Buuugs"

"She's hot" Tweety noted.

"And Bugs is about to find out how hot" Buster added.

He was not wrong as within seconds Lola had literally run rings around Bugs until he tied himself up in knots before slam dunking an easy two pointer.

"The girl's got some skills" Michael noted.

Buster nodded in agreement having played against the girl many times whenever he was practicing at the gym he usually went to. Everyone watched as Lola walked back up to Bugs who was still tied up and looking smitten at her.

"Don't ever call me doll" She whispered to him after pulling him closer to her.

"Check" Bugs obeyed burning the note into his memory as his body sprang loose of its knot and clanged to the floor stiff as a board.

"Smooth moves, Casa-blunder" Buster congratulated his idol as Lola walked off.

"Very smooth" Michael agreed.

"She's obviously nuts about me" Bugs sighed clearly oblivious to the sarcasm in their words.

Buster shook his head in embarrassment over the way his mentor was acting before ricocheting the basketball off Bugs' head and into Michael's hands.

"Let's run some drills" He suggested having seen how bad most of his teammates were at the sport he loved before collapsed in a heap due to his golf shoes nailing his feet to the floor. "Can anyone lend me a pair of sneakers?"

"I've got some spare gear in my bag you can borrow" Buster offered jerking his thumb at his duffel bag in the corner. "Don't worry if any of it looks small, it'll stretch to fit when you put it on"

As Michael headed off to the changing room after grabbing the duffel bag, the rest of the toons decided to keep themselves occupied by doing a fitness video workout Porky had brought along with them. As they tried to follow the instructor's movements, Buster and Bugs decided to just watch them make a fool of themselves from the bleachers.

"I don't know what's more amazing" Buster muttered just loud enough for Bugs to hear. "You falling for a girl or you being embarrassed by a girl"

"So sue me, it's been a while since a goil's actually caught my attention" Bugs grumbled before sighing in defeat. "Dat really was a disgrace to dah name Bugs Bunny, wasn't it?"

"Eh, first time for everything" Buster shrugged before deciding to give the elder rabbit some helpful advice. "If you are going to try and woo her more effectively, use dem bunny brains or yers an jus be yerself"

Bugs stared at the young bunny walking away towards the rest of the toons in amazement. To him it felt like it was just yesterday when he first met the blue buck who was eager to impress his hero. Now that young buck had grown up and had a good head on his shoulders.

"Be moiself" He mumbled the gears twirling in his head as an idea came to mind. One that he would have to find out if it would work later on before suggesting it to the rest of the team.

"Hey Bugs!" Michael called out to him. "Come on, time to hustle!"

The gray bunny sprung to his feet and jogged over to where Michael was starting to teach the toons the basics of basketball. If he was to pull this plan off, he would need to at least get the basics down to pat.
