High in the sky, there was a man in a flying machine, carrying a capsule. Pursuing him was a blue hedgehog on a plane, piloted by a yellow fox. His name was Sonic.
Sonic: Drop the emeralds, Eggman!
Eggman boosted in his flying vehicle and pressed a button, which drops the capsule.
Dr. Eggman: If you insist.
Tails: Whoa, not like that!
Sonic used his spin dash and tried to catch the capsule, but he missed it. Luckily, his friend was there to save.
Tails: We'll have to swing back around for it.
Dr. Eggman: Predictable.
Orbot: Very.
Cubot: He must really love those things.
Eggman got out a laser gun and blasted.
Dr. Eggman: Fire! (blasts plane)
The laser hit the plane, which is now plummeting.
Sonic: We're hit!
Tails: Hold on!
Sonic: Whoa, what's that down there?
The two saw the familiar sign of Hollywood and its famous movie studios.
Tails: That must be Hollywood. Cool!
Sonic: Less looking! More landing!
Tails: Alright, I can land this, but it's gonna be bumpy!
They flew into Hollywood. Our story begins in a studio slot where Roger Rabbit, the famous Toon of Maroon Cartoons, was filming a new episode, but things go dreadfully wrong.
Voice: CUT!
A bell was rung.
Other Voice: All right. That's it. Cut.
Raoul: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut! (Slams his clip board on the ground hard angrily)
Baby Herman: What the hell was wrong with that take?
Raoul: Nothing you Baby Herman. You were great. You were perfect. You were better than perfect. (Points to Roger) It's Roger. He keeps blowing his lines. (Looks at Roger) Roger… (Yanks a bird near him) What's this?
Roger: A tweeting bird?
Raoul: (Mocking) A tweeting bird! (Tosses the bird to the ground an show Roger the script) Roger read the script. Look what it says. (Roger looked at the script) It says "Rabbit takes clunk. Rabbit sees stars." Not birds- STARS!
Raoul: (Looks back) CAN WE LOSE THE PLAYBACK PLEASE?! You're killing me! Killing me.
The heroes that arrived at the studio were none other than Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff. Standing with them was their team, consisting of Riley Andersen, the Digidestined, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Beetlejuice, and Lydia Deetz.
Raoul: Hey, who are you guys?
Ken: Oh, our apologies. This is Team Warpstar. Team Warpstar, this is our favorite cartoon star, Roger Rabbit.
Tiff: So, you must be famous Toon star, Roger Rabbit, huh? In case you're wondering, my name's Tiff.
Tuff: And I'm her brother, Tuff.
Kirby: Oh. Kirby! Kirby!
Riley: My name is Riley Andersen.
Beetlejuice: I'm Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most.
Lydia: I'm Lydia.
TK: And we're the Digidestined.
Roger: Jeepers, I haven't seen you Toons before.
Joy: Well, that's because...
Tiff: We're from another country.
Cody: And we believe you already know Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, Roger?
TK: What's going on here?
Raoul: Roger just messed up his lines again.
Yolei: Is this true, Roger?
Roger: Yes.
Kari: That's okay, Roger. You'll just have to practice some more.
Baby Herman: (Angrily) GOOD! RAOUL I'LL BE IN MY TRAILER! TAKING A NAP! (Went under a lady's skirt as she yelped before Herman waved to her) Scuse me toots.
Yolei: What a mean baby.
Davis: What do you expect? He's an actor.
Raoul: (Groaning) My stomach can't take this. This set is a mess! Clean this set up. Loose the lights. And say lunch.
Voice: LUNCH!
Raoul: That's lunch. Run ahead. (Leaves the set an Roger jumps out of Kari's arms and tries to follow Raoul, grabbing his coat.)
Roger: Pplplllllease Raoul. I can give you stars. Just drop the refrigerator on my head one more time.
Raoul: Roger! I've dropped that on your head 23 times already.
Roger: I can take it though. Don't worry about me.
Raoul: (Yanks the coat away) I'm not worried about you I'm worried about the refrigerator.
Roger: I can give you stars. (Grabs a frying pan from a passing trolley.) Look. (Hits himself) Look! (Hits himself) Looook! (Hits himself some more an enters the trailer)
Passing by was a man in a trench coat. His name was Eddie Valiant. He was a detective.
Valiant: Phhh. Toons. (Drinks his whiskey an puts it back in his coat)
Beetlejuice: So, you Digidestined know Roger, huh?
Davis: Of course, we do. We used to watch his show every day after school.
Cody: And it keeps getting funnier every time we watch it.
Lydia: And how do you know your way around Hollywood, Tiff?
Tiff: Well Lydia, Kirby, Tuff, and I were there once to help Danny and his animal friends become big movie stars.
Tuff: Plus, we had to stop Darla and the Amazon Trio.
Tiff: We were also at Warner Bros Studios, where we met Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
Daffy Duck: That's right. Thank you.
The heroes all notice a detective watching Roger and Raoul enter the trailer.
Riley: Excuse me? (Asks a worker) Who's that?
Worker: Oh that guy?, Thats Eddie Valiant.
Daffy Duck: That's Eddie Valiant, the Toon detective?
Worker: Yep.
Riley: Thanks. (Looks at the guys) Wait here, please. (Walks over to Eddie Valiant) Excuse me but are you Eddie Valiant?
Valiant: (Frowns) Yep, that's me.
Riley: What are you doing here?
Valiant: Here to see Mr. Maroon for something important.
Davis: What a thought. We're here to see him too. His cartoons are amazing.
Valiant: (Looks at the others) Are they with you?
Riley: Yes, they are.
Valiant: And you must be Team Warpstar, right?
Tiff: Yes we are.
Valiant: Great. Just great. More annoying Toon fans. (Walks away)
Tuff: What?
Minutes later, the secretary opened up some double doors as she began speaking.
Secretary: Mr. Maroon, Mr. Valiant, and some people are here to… (Maroon stops her from speaking to the Digidestined and turns to the others) He'll be right with you.
Tuff: Is that Mr. Maroon?
Kari: Yep, owner and founder of Maroon Cartoons.
Beetlejuice: Cool.
As the others enter the office they hear some goofy noises while they are waiting, As they watched, Maroon glares at the editor after a crash was heard.
Maroon: No, no, no! Wait until he gets to his feet, then hit him with the boulder.
Editor: Right on it (He walks away with the machine an enters the two door way wall while the man looked at the people)
Maroon: How much do you know about show business Mr. Valiant? (Notices Digidestined) Ahh, kids, my children, it's good to see you. (Embraces them with a hug)
TK: It's good to finally see you, Mr. Maroon.
Maroon: I've getting a lot of fan mail from you kids most of the time.
Ken: Thank you.
Maroon: Fair enough. (Looks at Valiant) You know what I was saying before?
Valiant: (Annoyed) To answer Mr. Maroon's question, only there's no business like it. No business I know.
Maroon: Yeah, and there's no business more expensive. I'm 25 grand over budget on the latest Baby Herman cartoon. You saw the rabbit blowing his lines. He can't keep his mind on his work. You know why?
Valiant: One too many refrigerators dropped on his head?
Maroon: Nah! He's a toon. You can drop anything you want on his head, he'll shake it off. But break his heart, he goes to pieces just like you or me. Read that. (Maroon hands Valiant a newspaper and reads it)
Valiant: (Reading along) "Seen cooing over Calamari with not so new auger-daddy was Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon cartoon star Roger."
Tuff: Roger has a wife?
Lydia: Deadly boo!
Valiant: (To Maroon) What's this gotta do with me? (Tosses the paper back to the businessman, who smirked)
Maroon: You're the private detective, you figure it out.
Valiant: Look, I don't have time for this.
Maroon: Look Valiant! His wife's poison but he thinks she's Betty Crocker. I want you to follow her. Get me a couple of nice juicy pictures I can wise the rabbit up with.
Valiant: Forget it. I don't work Toontown.
Maroon: What's wrong with Toontown? Every Joe loves Toontown.
Valiant: We'll get him to do the job, cause I ain't going.
Maroon: Whoa fella! You don't want to go to Toontown, you don't have to go to Toontown. Nobody said you had to go to Toontown anyway.
Kirby: Poyo?
Kari: What's Toontown?
Bugs Bunny: Well, guys, Toontown is where the greatest Toon stars live.
Gatomon: Interesting.
Maroon: (grins) Have a seat, Valiant. The rabbit's wife sings at a joint called the Ink and Paint Club. Toon review. Strictly humans only. O.K.? So what do you think Valiant? An besides you've got some help. (Valiant glares at our heroes) What do you think, guys?
Yolei: Can we help you, Mr. Valiant?
Kari: Yeah, we'll do anything for our Roger.
Maroon:… Well?
Mr Valiant, glances at some drinks at the drinking cabinet nearby, so he got up headed to the cabinet.
Valiant: The job's gonna cost you a hundred bucks, plus expenses.
Maroon: A hundred bucks! That's ridiculous.
Valiant: So's the job!
Maroon: Alright, alright. You've got your hundred bucks.
Daffy Duck: Yes!
Kirby: (happily hops up and down) Poyo!
Maroon: Have a drink Eddie.
Valiant: I don't mind if I do.
As Mr. Valiant takes the bottle with a glass cup, pouring a drink while Maroon was writing a check, the group heard some noises outside, looking outside the window as they saw some workers trying to put something into the van.
Man: Look, I've got it.
Worker: (concerned) Careful, Dave.
Dave: I've got it.
Worker: Dave, you're gonna drop it.
Dave: I'm not gonna drop it!
Worker: You're dropping it!
Just then, the box was dropped as some Toon furniture with instruments began playing a bit. The others laughed a bit while Eddie glanced. He glanced back at Maroon, whom was still writing. As Eddie looked back, the others yelped, noticing big blue eyes peeking at them.
All: AHHH! (They quickly hid under the cabinet while Maroon turned, noticing them hiding)
The amused man turned, smirking to the ones hiding underneath.
Veemon: Was that a Digimon?
Maroon: Kind of jumpy, aren't you, Valiant?
The detective got up from under the drinking cabinet as the business man pointed outside to a blue eyed gray elephant wearing a yellow hat and orange collar, flying outside.
Lydia: Oh, wait. It's just Dumbo.
Valiant angrily snatches the check from Maroon.
Valiant: (Sternly) I know who it is!
Tiff: But what's he doing here?
Maroon: I got him on loan from Disney. Him and half the cast of Fantasia. (He opens the blinds, an takes a handful of peanuts after the window was opened) Best part is… they work for peanuts! (Tosses the peanuts out before the elephant sucked each one up with his trunk, blowing his trunk afterward and flies away.)
Veemon: (Waves to Dumbo) See ya later, Dumbo.
The blinds close. the man glares at the businessman.
Valiant: (annoyed) Well, I don't work for peanuts. (looks at the check) Where's the other fifty?
Maroon: Let's call the other fifty a carrot to finish the job.
Valiant: (frowns) You've been hanging around rabbits too long. (With that, he left the office with the group following)
Meanwhile, as the detective and Team Warpstar left the office while a Toon Ostrich noticed them before scoffing off, going inside. Then, as they neared the stairs, passing a frog, they heard a man playing in the Sorcerer's Apprentice as a saxophone while the brooms were sweeping up. Then, security guards showed up to the team with a little girl.
Security 1: Excuse me, Mr. Bunny?
Bugs Bunny: That's me.
Security 2: Is this your child?
Bugs Bunny: What child?
Security 1: We found her sneaking around the sound stage. She claims that she knows you.
Bugs Bunny: I'll take of this, boys. You go on back, now.
The guards left the team, and Bugs turns to the intruder and recognizes her.
Bugs Bunny: Chihiro?
Chihiro: Um... hello?
Kirby: Poyo?
Tuff: What are you doing here?
Tiff: Aren't your parents worried sick?
Chihiro: Well, I secretly came with you guys, but I lost you. I tried to find you here, but the guards won't let me in, so I snuck in but they found me.
TK: Well, it's a good thing Bugs knows you.
Bugs Bunny: You're welcome.
So, Chihiro followed Valiant and Team Warpstar, they soon passed some cows and longhorns practicing their moos. Just as they passed a few other toons, they stopped before the hippo sat down an sends a man flying off the bench, Quickly, the studio workers help the hippo up.
Hippo: Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so embarrassed.
As they exit the studio following the detective, an arrived was a red car, Then Eddie shows the check to the conductor, he then frowned.
Conductor: What do I look like, a bank?
Eddie: Sorry about that, Joe. (Hands the conductor a hundred bucks)
Conductor: All aboard.
Eddie: Thanks. (Team Warpstar and Chihiro enter the red car except for Eddie. He hops on the back of the red car with some kids and another kid is running to them)
Boy: Wait for me!
Kids: Come on! Hurry up!
Eddie helps the boy on the red car
Teen Kid: (To Eddie) Hey, Mister, Ain't you got a car?
Valiant: Who needs a car in L.A.? We've got the best public transportation system in the world.
At a run down neighborhood, where the words "THE WORLD'S BEST PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM" was held, a sign saying "Clover Leaf Industries" was pulled up before it blocked out the sign. As that happened, the red car stops and Team Warpstar and Chihiro exit the car, and Eddie hops off the back of the car.*
Kids: See you later.
Valiant: Thanks for the cigarettes.
As Eddie walked up to a build to fix his sign, a post man came to the man.
Postman: Hi, Eddie. How's it going?
Valiant: O.K. What you got for me?
Postman: (Shows the mail) The usual bills.
The drunk man frowned, shaking his head before looking at the mail. Then, he and other noticed the Clover Leaf sign at the other building, tossing the mail in the garbage.
Chihiro: Cloverleaf? What's that?
Hawkmon: We don't know, Chihiro.
The man finally heads to the building and the others follow him inside the building and they enter a bar and notice some people playing pool and drinking.
Tiff: interesting. Even though we're too young.
Valiant: Harry. You O.k.?
As Eddie walks by, he notices someone unconscious while holding an unopened beer bottle before placing the hat, which had fallen, back on him. Then Eddie looked at a man with a notepad.
Valiant: What's with Earl?
The mute man only wrote the words and showed them the words "Laid Off!"
Valiant: (Surprised) …Laid off?
Soldier: A new outfit bought the red car. Some big company called Clover Leaf.
Valiant: No kidding! They bought the red car?
Soldier: Yeah. Put the poor guy on two week notice. Cut back they said.
Lydia: So, this is what business in Hollywood is like?
Eddie then sat down, taking a full cup of liquor.
Valiant: Oh well. Here's to the pencil pushers. May they all get lead poisoning, huh? (Was about to take drink but was stopped by a woman)
Dolores: Tomorrow's Friday, Eddie. You know what happens here on Friday?
Valiant: Fish Special?
Dolores: (Frowns at Eddie and snatches the drink from him) No… My boss checks the books on Friday and if don't have the money I gave you back in the till I'm gonna lose my job.
Eddie then takes out the check from before, showing it to Dolores.
Valiant: Don't bust a button, Dolores, you've only got one left. (He grins while Dolores looks surprised, looking at the check)
Dolores: Fifty bucks! (pauses before frowning) Where's the rest?
Valiant: (Looking hurt) Well, it's only a snoop job away. Have you got that camera of your? Mines in the shop.
Dolores: Wouldn't be the pawn shop by any chance would it?
Valiant: Look. Come on Dolores. You need the other fifty, I need the camera.
So Dolores get out the camera from behind the till, placing it in front of Eddie's group before it was taken.
Valiant: Any film in there?
Dolores: Should be. Haven't had that roll developed since our trip to Catalina. Sure was a long time ago.
Valiant: (Nods) Yeah, it was a long time ago. We'll have to do that again sometime.
Dolores: Yeah, sure Eddie.
Dolores: Paper even good?
Valiant: (ignoring) Just check the scrawl.
Dolores: R.K. Maroon? As in Maroon Cartoons?
Man: Maroon Cartoons? Hey! So who's your client Mr Detective to the stars? Chilly Willy? Screwy Squirrel? Heh, heh, heh.
Dolores: What do you want to drink?
Man: I'll take a beer, Dol. (Begins cracking his boiled egg as he grinned mockingly to him)
Man: So, what happened, huh? Someone kidnap Dinky Doodle?
Dolores: Cut it out, Angelo.
Angelo: Hey. Wait a minute, wait a minute! I know. You're working for little Bo Peep. She's lost her sheep and your gonna help her find him! Hey? Heh, heh, heh. Ha, ha, ha.
Beetlejuice: Uh oh.
Eddie kicked the stool that Angelo sat on, holding his jaw near the table in anger.
Valiant: (Angry) GET THIS STRAIGHT, MEATBALL. I… DON'T… WORK… FOR TOONS! (Then shoves the egg with shells into his mouth with Eddie stomping out and the others followed him out)
Angelo: (Spitting some egg shells out) So what's his problem?
Dolores: A Toon killed his brother.
Some of them looked surprised
Background: What? Huh?
Kirby: Poyo?
Tiff: (Shocked) Killed how?
Dolores: Dropped a piano on his head.
Davis: First day in Hollywood, and already, it's a mess.
Tuff: Welcome to Hollywood, Davis.
