Hello, fellow TTA fans! I'm back with a brand new fanfic for the Tiny Toon Adventures franchise! What am I doing this time around, you ask? Why, I'm having it so that the ever so unlucky but ever so lovable and warm-hearted Furrball is, after having an despondency episode which leaves him thinking the world would be better off if he never came into existence, shown by Calamity Coyote, who has agreed to act as his guardian of sorts, and has, by both Furrball's mentor, Sylvester The Cat, as well as his own Wile. E Coyote, been promised a real voice to speak openly with if he succeeds in showing Furrball how important he is to Acme Acres and the world of TTA, just how wrong a way to think that is. As well as how much worse the world would have been without him. Very obviously, this is a parody and spoof of the classic Frank Capra film "It's A Wonderful Life". In addition, since I've done parody fics of that movie before, not to mention since Buster officially got a parody in the final regular TTA episode of that movie in "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special", I felt it was high time that Furrball got one of his very own, given how popular, sweet, cute and wonderful(HA!)he is. Even if it is in the form of a two-chapter fanfic and not an actual TTA episode.

THINGS TO NOTE:

One of the many reasons I was spurred to do this is because I made one such fic as this for Fifi La Fume, and Furrball's amount of fans and sympathetic qualities are both comparable to hers. Just like the hardships he goes through, lovable traits he's got, raw deals he receives and his state of being underused and unhappy rivals hers. Additionally, they make a superb couple, so this fic is meant to both parody "It's A Wonderful Life", be a nod to "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special", serve as a male equivalent to the parody fic like this I did for Fifi and be, in the end, a catering to FifiXFurrball fans.

Like the majority of TTA fanfics I write, this one takes place post-series. About four weeks after the series finale of TTA. Whether this is the final normal episode or the final special is up to you, but in any event, I've made my point. Four weeks after the end of it.

I own none of the characters. They all belong to TTA. I don't own "It's A Wonderful Life", either, nor do I own the parody of that movie done in the TTA episode "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special". They belong to their respective owners.

I chose to title this story "Sweetiesville" because Sweetie would undoubtedly take over everything and rule as a tyrant queen if Furrball wasn't there to keep her distracted, and I also chose to do so because it'll very perfectly paint and show Sweetie for the unlikable little bitch that she is(especially since the majority of TTA fans hate her, so this will surely please them). Ironically, that's in one world. In the other, the original one, Sweetie actually exhibits feelings unlike her true self, but I digress. Sweetiesville, obviously a parody of "Pottersville". As well as of "Montyville", the name of the world without Buster in "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special". Anyway, on with the story.

Sweetiesville

Chapter 1-Sad Cat

Although Furrball was well known for what rotten luck he had, how he constantly got the short end of the stick and the rawest of raw deals despite how sweet, lovable, nice, kind, caring, cute, thoughtful, endearing, adorable, peaceful, warm-hearted and innocent he was, he was, on this day, at what could be considered his lowest point. And that was quite a statement, with all he got put through on a daily basis, albeit fully undeservedly. You see, he'd initially been doing real well for someone of his proneness to misfortune, ironically enough. He'd gotten straight A's and had done beautifully in gym class both in regular sports and wrestling, the latter of which he did with the likes of Sweetie, Elmyra Duff, Fowlmouth, Lil' Sneezer, Byron Basset, Roderick Rat, Rhubella Rat, Danforth Drake and Margot Mallard(the latter four obviously visiting from that school Perfecto Prep to compete with Acme Loo along with Acme Loo competing in wrestling against each other). To his surprise, as well as theirs, he defeated them all handily, one by one, which was the lineup of wrestling in this round of it in the Acme Loo school gym. Not just with him, but with all who were wrestling one opponent or the other, from one school or the other. As if all this and the aforementioned straight A's in every class weren't enough, he was even able to catch and save one of Calamity Coyote's experiment chemical vials when he happened by where the coyote was working at the time Little Beeper ran by the desk to make it fall to the floor as the means to a prank. Calamity thanked him happily for it, albeit with a sign that said: "Can't thank you enough! Way to save my work, pal!" but Furrball's luck was just about to run true to its well known, less than favorable form despite all of this.

How so? Well, Sweetie was vexed that Furrball had beaten her in wrestling, indicating he would have devoured her long ago if his luck wasn't so bad, and Beeper was equally annoyed on account of his prank being ruined by Furrball. Yeah, none of the other ones who Furrball beat in wrestling were happy about losing, either, but Sweetie in particular for the reasons mentioned. In any event, Sweetie was able to keep herself under control due to admitting to herself she had, of course, started the whole thing between her and Furrball with trying to get him to eat her when he was just minding his own business and then making him suffer more when he finally snapped. And Beeper was able to keep himself under control due to Furrball not being a usual rival he had like Calamity was for him. But despite this and Byron, Elmyra, Fowlmouth and Sneezer keeping themselves in check about their feelings of losing to Furrball in wrestling, each one for different reasons and Byron and Sneezer with slightly more difficulty than the other two for obvious and predictable reasons, Rhubella, Roderick, Margot and Danforth were far more angry and vengeful as well as considerably more pissed off and vindictive than those others mentioned just now. It'd lead to them sitting down and having a meeting, the way cheating didn't help them win this time like it usually did.

Roderick said: "Dammit, I can't believe we all lost to that cat! Since when is unlucky fraidy cat Furrball so formidable?" "Could be how well he'd do in a fight if he wasn't so damn unfortunate pushing through. Just my theory." Rhubella spoke. "You could very well be right, but I digress." Margot spoke. "Because even with that being so, our talent at cheating should've worked this time like it has all the other times!" Danforth put across. "Exactly! We've got to make that pathetic blue kitten suffer for humiliating us like that!" Roderick went. "I'm really surprised all his other opponents in wrestling aren't feeling like we are, especially the canary and the mouse, but whatever! It's just us, so it's just us." "So what do you suggest we do as payback, Roddy?" Rhubella asked. "Simple, Ruby." Roderick replied. "We cause such a terrible fate to be made to befall him that he loses all his spirit and wishes he were never born!" "Hell yeah! That's the perfect idea!" shouted out Danforth, but Rhubella and Margot immediately stood up and then backed away. "Hey, whoa." Ruby said. "Nuh-uh. No way. I'm all for being bad, and I love to see to it Acme Losers are made to suffer and/or be humiliated, Roddy, but the point that they wish to never have been born and possibly become suicidal? Even a bitch like me draws the line there." A comment from Margot came out as: "Ditto for me. Embarrass Furrball and cause him pain of some kind? Count me in. But to that great of an extent? Nothing doing." "So if you boys wanna break his spirit that badly and possibly cause him to kill himself, go ahead. But we're having no part of it." Ruby added. "Fine. Be a couple of sissy bitches. See what I care." Roddy sneered, an instant before saying: "Come on, Danforth." He and the drake moved forward to discuss just the way to put their plan into action perfectly, and Ruby and Margot left to get a shake or something to block out what they knew their respective boyfriends would do.

They almost pitied Furrball…though not quite, since they were Perfecto Prep girls and of course disliked him along with all others at Acme Loo(or, as they would call them, Acme Losers, but I digress), but they just blocked this whole thing out of their minds and went for whatever the two of them would do before returning to Perfecto Prep, knowing that their boyfriends would so very likely be back there by then, having gotten their deed at Acme Loo done, and they needed a way to make how they'd have to listen to them gloat about what they'd done to Furrball for God only knows how long a time more bearable. Anyway, back to Acme Loo, Furrball was on his way, at this time, to the class of his favorite professor. Namely, Sylvester. Just as he was about to open the door, Roddy and Danforth quietly and sneakily(to say nothing of quickly, as so to make sure neither he nor anyone else would see them)tied a rope to Furrball's tail and tied the other end of said rope to the Acme Loo trophy case display on the wall, in a way so, when he tried to walk forward, not only would it have enough of itself pulled off so that it fell to the ground, but it would create an impact when falling to cause the trophies to fly in all directions and cause other kinds of damage. Furrball wasn't aware of any of this, and understandably, since the both of the bastards stayed well hidden and unseen, but by the time they'd escaped from where they were as well as taken off through a door and then a window of one room to being outside as so to escape back to Perfecto Prep via running, it had all been set into motion. So no sooner did Furrball open the door to Sylvester's class than did he feel a nasty yank on his tail, and disaster struck!

Indeed, the trophy display case got part of itself ripped off and the rest of it fell to the floor from this, Furrball's rotten luck rearing its ugly head as the glass shattered, the trophies flew in all directions, some of them damaging other wall displays, others breaking windows and a few hitting or nearly hitting other students, no fatal or serious damage caused, but certainly an awful lot of pain. Everyone, including Furrball himself, was shocked beyond belief, and Furrball got startled when he saw there was a rope tied to his tail. Everyone looked at him and the rope, all just as confused as he was as to what could have happened, but Furrball was also embarrassed and traumatized by this. He couldn't believe this had happened, and so suddenly and without any warning, at that. He'd just wanted to enter Sylvester's class, but now all of a sudden this had just occurred somehow. Furrball's heart was pounding fast, and though the look on his face and how still he was made it evident to everyone else, hurt by flying trophy or not, that he had not by any means intended for this to happen and had no idea how it could have happened, nor was in any way expecting it to, he still didn't know what to do until something in his brain spurred him to cut the rope on his tail and clean up the mess he'd inadvertently made as much as possible. He'd get to work doing just that, in a stressed out rush, and while he did get help from the others, plus one of the others, Buster, went to inform Principal Bugs what had happened and how he thought someone had tried to set Furrball up or some shit, it still took quite some time to clean the mess and then to explain everything to everyone who needed to know about it.

Once his ordeal had at last ended(to the extent it could), and Principal Bugs had made it so he would do all he could to find out who'd done this and why, Furrball, drained from how so very profusely he apologized to everyone, especially those who'd hurt during all this, and how it being that they forgave him and made it clear it wasn't his fault was something of a comfort, but not as much as it should have been due to how he could tell his luck was once more up to its old, cruel tricks at his expense, as well as from how much effort he needed to put into cleaning up his unintended and unexpected mess, finally was able to enter Sylvester's class. Still, Sylvester, even having learned of this and helped as much as he could along with Furrball and everyone else and then returning to his desk once it was over and he knew he needed to, was a bit surprised to see the state Furrball was currently in. He knew he'd be wiped out, tired and still somewhat unhappy after all of this, but he wasn't expecting to see him looking like his internal battery has been fully pulled out of him and also looking sadder and more upset and misery-stricken than he ever had in his life, which was saying something, indeed. Furrball glumly and morosely sat down into his chair, with the other students who would have attended this class at this time not present due to how what had happened had made it so, as much as they pitied Furrball, it did not extend to them being able to sit in his presence after what had just happened, given they couldn't help but think him a bad luck charm who was jinxed and would be jinxing all around him at this point.

Plus, they knew he probably didn't want anyone to see him right now outside of Sylvester due to his knowing he was the teacher and that he was someone Furrball could trust and vice versa, so they felt that they were doing both him and themselves alike a big favor by not being present in the class of Sylvester right now. Anyway, Sylvester said: "Furrball, hi. Look, I can tell you're distraught and distressed after what happened, but we both know it wasn't your fault, and so does everyone else in this school. Principal Bugs is currently trying to find out who did this and why, so the culprits can be punished for what they did to you." "I know, I know, professor." Furrball replied quietly, in one of the few instances he ever spoke. "But even so, I was doing all sorts of things so beautifully. I thought maybe I was something other than a disaster waiting to happen or a time bomb of jinxed bad luck waiting to go off. Maybe that things were finally and at long last looking up for me. But now I've inadvertently caused harm to others, even if nothing serious, and I've unwittingly wrecked a whole trophy displayed case and some other important and irreplaceable things on the walls. Seriously, in one way or the other, at one time or another, I only cause disasters and get beat up upon by someone or something. Fortune just doesn't favor me or anyone around me. And you know something, professor?" "Yes, Furrball?" Sylvester then asked, looking concerned due to what Furrball had said and the tone of voice he was using, since it couldn't possibly mean anything good. Furrball then sighed and said: "By this point, I'm really starting to think that all of Acme Acres, and the world, for that matter, would be better off if I'd never come into existence."

"Whoa, Furrball!" Sylvester exclaimed. "You mustn't say such things! Especially since thoughts like that are quite dangerous to have and it's extremely unhealthy to think that way!" "But professor," Furrball protested, "look at all the crap that occurs whenever I'm around! And not only do I get nailed all the time, as if the universe has something against me for nothing, but anyone in my vicinity gets hurt, too! Look what happened today when I was trying to come in here, for crying out loud! And since my instincts are something I can't help, those who are near or around me are in danger if I suddenly get hungry or feel like I need to defend myself from one thing or the other! And all the rotten things Sweetie's done just because, until recently, she could not accept the fact it was her fault we were enemies, and thus caused as much destruction and as much pain as possible just torturing and/or trying to get rid of me! Seriously, with that and all the others who've either been on the throwing or receiving end of the worst Acme Acres has to offer just for happening to be in my presence with neither me nor them expecting it, I cannot see it in any other way. If I wasn't around, then there's a good chance a lot of the shit that befalls Acme Acres wouldn't happen. That I'm always getting struck by misfortune and beat up by each and every object, person or animal around only further magnifies my wish I had never been born at all." Sylvester walked away from his desk, looked Furrball right in the eyes and said: "Furrball, you must be careful what you wish for, boy. After all, it just might come true." "Well, why do you think I'm wishing I never existed in the first place?" Furrball asked." "All right, you clearly need to take the rest of the day off, the way you're feeling right now, so go home. I'll let the rest of the school know you were told to do so by me for your own good." Furrball nodded and then got up again, walking out the door of the class and making his way to the doors of Acme Loo the students there entered and exited by.

As Furrball was making his way home to the alley he lived in, Sylvester, back in his class and thinking of a way to help his favorite student, used his phone to call both Wile E. Coyote and Calamity Coyote. After the two coyotes entered into his classroom following said phone call, the black and white cat stated his business. "Wile E, I wish for your top student, namely Calamity here, to please help my top student, Furrball. You see, after the unexpected destruction sequence of a chance happenstance, he's been made to snap after so many years of getting the short end of the stick and believe the world would be a better place without him, be it Acme Acres or any of the other places on Earth. I believe that it would be best of Calamity could somehow show him just how false that assumption is and why he's important to Acme Acres and the rest of the world we live in." Wile E, in one of his few times of talking, said: "That sounds like a fine idea, but do you agree to this, Calamity?" Calamity held up a sign which said: "I'll gladly do it. Furrball is a good friend of mine, and only a while ago today he saved one of my experiments." He held up a second sign which said: "Plus, he's been through too much already, and besides how he's a nice, sweet guy, no one deserves to go through what he's going through." "Splendid." Wile E said. In addition, Sylvester went: "I am glad you agree to it. Succeed in convincing him he shouldn't be wishing he wasn't around, and me and Wile E will see to it you're granted the ability to talk. No more of having to hold up all those signs or having difficulty on the phone." Calamity's face lit up a second before he held up a sign that said: "All the more reason for me to do this. Where is Furrball now?" Sylvester replied: "He's currently at his alley home. I told him to take the rest of the day off so that he could come to grips with his mood and start thinking straight again. I'm of the intent to tell much the same to the rest of the school."

Calamity nodded and Wile E held up a sign that said: "I'll help with that part. You go on and help Furrball, Calamity." Calamity nodded, held up a sign which read: "Will do." and took off to the entrance/exit doors of Acme Loo. He subsequently made his way to the alley Furrball lived in. Since he and Furrball were good friends, they sometimes visited each other. So he knew how to get to Furrball's alley. Well, it turned out he got there just in time! Because as he saw, to his horror, once he was there, Furrball had just finished up saying numerous prayers which asked for forgiveness from God for what he was about to do. Because what he was about to do was see to it he took his own life via slitting his wrists and throat with his claws! Just as he was about to do so, Calamity leapt in front of him, startling the blue cat, and held up a sign which said only a single word, but said word said it all. "STOP!" Furrball almost jumped out of his skin/fur, but in the next instant, Calamity held up a sign that said: "Were you going to kill yourself?" Furrball let out a quite meow of sadness as he nodded, then he whispered: "I'm sorry, but I don't have one thing left to live for." "Oh, you have plenty to live for." a sign Calamity then held up said. "It might not seem that way right now," another sign he held up read, "but believe me, you're truly making a mistake here. A big one." He held up a third sign, which said: "I was sent by both your mentor, Sylvester, and my own, Wile E. Coyote, to show you how crucial and vital you are to the world, Acme Acres or otherwise." Finally, he held up a fourth sign which said: "I am going to be making a device which will take us to that world. Please come with me as I teach you how very important you are, indeed."

Furrball, able to tell it just wouldn't be right to commit suicide now, sighed and agreed to Calamity's intentions with a nod. So Calamity held up a sign that said: "Smart move." a second before he got to work with his invention. Since he was as much of a genius and talent at the art of inventing things as he was, it should be no surprise it did not take him long to get it done. And as soon as it was done, he held up a sign that said: "Finished! All right, pussycat, let's get started on our trip here. Grab my hand!" He held out his free hand, which Furrball took hold of, then he got his device activated after pressing buttons and pulling levers with his free hand so that they'd get taken to exactly the world Calamity was aiming for. And once he was finished, that's exactly the happenstance that occurred, with them being teleported there by the device. Calamity had also, of course, made sure he did the sequence he'd done in a way so, whenever they needed to be at once teleported somewhere else, the device, despite remaining behind in the alley, would do just that for them. Back in Acme Loo, with everyone having learned of Furrball's plight, there wasn't a single individual in the school who wasn't feeling at least some extent of pity for Furrball. As in, even the likes of Sweetie and Lil' Sneezer couldn't help but feel a LITTLE sympathy for him in spite of their history, though ironically, Sweetie started the whole thing between Furrball and herself by trying to keep getting him to eat her so he'd be evicted while he was just minding his own business, plus Furrball only attacked her and/or Sneezer out of an instinct to survive and the hunger he felt, not any kind of malice or evil, but I digress. If those two could garner pity for the blue alley cat, imagine how everyone else was taking pity on him. Especially Fifi La Fume, who had, as of late, fallen in love with Furrball. Though he'd fallen in love with her, as well, neither had admitted it to the other, each for their own reasons, though in both cases, they were perfectly understandable and sound reasons.

Since everyone had also learned of how Calamity had been sent to help Furrball in the process of learning from Sylvester why he wasn't here, Shirley spoke for everyone when she said: "Like, I hope Calamity can convince Furrball of what a mistake he's making, wishing so ill of himself." Fifi agreed with her-also speaking for everyone present-when she said: "Oui, eet ees not right for zis to be happeneeng to heem or anyone. Nobody should go through zis at all." All of the others didn't bother saying a word, since Shirley and Fifi had pretty much covered all of everything for everyone, with one exception. Babs saw Buster come back from what was clearly his trip with Principal Bugs to find evidence of who could have caused this to happen and made it so Furrball created the accident that he did, and she said: "Buster? Principal Bugs? Did either of you find anything, perchance?" "We're afraid not, Babsy." Buster replied. "Yep, hate to say it, but nada. Zilch. Zero." Bugs answered, shaking his head. "Damn, that's a shame." Babs sighed. A second later, she said: "Listen, guys, there's something I have to fill the two of you in on." As they were on the lookout for clues, they were the last two who weren't aware of what had been made to happen with Furrball like everyone else knew now. So Babs informed them of what had occurred and what they needed to know, and once she was done, Buster said: "Thanks for letting us know, Babsy." "Thanks, indeed," Bugs added, "but heaven help Furrball right now, and may God be with him, and hopefully Calamity's goal will be met with success." "It had best be, for Furrball's sake." Babs nodded.
