A Reeking Romance

Love STINKS!

It was a nice and sunny day in Acme Acres and Furball the cat had just gotten out of his cardboard box and was taking a leisurely walk around town.

"Nice day…"He thought as he kept walking, however he started to feel his stomach growling.

He was getting hungry.

"Oh man…"He thought as he tried to search for some food, since he was currently homeless, having escaped from Elmira last night, he was on his own and flat broke, so he had to go check the garbage.

Beggars can't be choosers or so the saying goes.

The blue cat entered a nearby alley and was currently searching for any potentially edible leftovers.

"Yuck…"He cringed when he saw the rotting fish in the dumpster, which looked every bit as nasty as it smelled.

However before he took his chances and put the nasty thing in his mouth, his ears picked up something

"La la la la….'He looked to see Sweetie Pie flying nearby and he felt his predatory instincts acting up.

"Oh ho, not her…I always get the worse around her…'He tried to resist but his hunger was making his feline instincts get wilder and wilder that he soon found himself in predator mode.

"FOOD!..."He thought as he was now running on his four paws after Sweetie.

This was going to be interesting.

At the Acme Beauty Parlor

Fifi La Fume was currently getting her hair and nails done, her latest attempts at boyfriend hunting was in a failure, so she came here to get a new makeover to recuperate. All was well and good, since the staff was all wearing gas masks as they did her hair and nails.

"All done Fifi…" Paul, the hairstylist who was currently wearing a gas mask, said to his customer.

"Ooh la la…Oh monsieur Paul, you have truly outdone yourself this time…' Fifi said as she admired her appearance in the mirror.

Fifi paid them and then left the establishment, strutting as she tried to look around for a suitable boy to make her new boyfriend. Unfortunately for her, most of them seem to be leaving, she was unaware because of her odor that only ever seem to come out when she was either scared or thinking of love, not that she ever noticed mind you.

"Oh, life is so lonely for you Fifi, but do not fret…You're true love is out there somewhere…and maybe today is the day you will find him…"Fifi sighed as she dreamed of a handsome boy skunk who would take her in his arms, look into her eyes, kiss her and be all hers forever and ever.

She really wanted a boyfriend, preferably a handsome skunk who would be all hers. She had come across quite a few of them in the past, but they always ended up abandoning her again but not this time… the next time she as a lover, she would make sure to never let him go.

No matter what, she would search and search until she has found her one true love.

'Maybe he's searching for me too…"She thought dreamily as she continued to think of boys and finding true love.

She was unaware that just a few streets away, a fight was ensuing between a typical predator and his prey.

Back with Furrball and Sweetie Pie

Furball and Sweetie were at it again, with Furball trying to catch the bird as his new meal and Sweetie Pie dodging him with a lot of ease.

"Stupid cat…" Sweetie spat as she kept flying.

"I'm going to get her…" Furball thought as he kept chasing the pink bird around town. However Sweetie kept dodging him at each chance and then flew over a mostly white fence.

"Catch me if you can, loser…" Sweetie said cheekily as she flew over the fence and was getting away.

"You're not getting away that easily..." A frustrated Furball thought as he quickly slid under a small opening in the fence and then went back to chasing Sweetie Pie.

Unknown to him, the fence was recently painted and still drying and he didn't realize yet the white pain that was currently on his back and tail, giving him the appearance of a skunk but Sweetie did.

"And I thought you looked dumb before…'Sweetie laughed, although Furball didn't get what she was referring too.

"That's it…'Furball thought as he got on all fours and in a pouncing position, he was not going to let her get away this time.

With Fifi

The love hungry skunkette was taking a leisurely walk, still think about love and romance and hoping that soon, it would come to her. She kept seeing a bunch of loving couples nearby, she saw two literal lovebirds in a nest, a couple of squirrels together in their tree and a pair of frogs embracing.

It seems that love was in the air for everyone…everyone but her it seems.

"Le sigh…" Fifi said as she watched this with longing, wondering when such a thing would happen to her.

She recalled that at one time, she did have a cute boy skunk of her own that actually did seem to like her, before he left. He was a cute dark blue skunk she met a few months back when the carnival was in town. She recalled how he was open to her advances and even wanted to kiss her, giving the breath spray he used before he decided to start playing hard to get.

True, she has had other loves before and after that, but she really wondered what had happened that made him leave.

"Le sigh…I know my true love is out there…and I will find him soon…" She said with confidence as she kept walking and turned a corner.

Unknown to her, at this side, there was a fight happening and in just a moment, the teenaged skunk was in for quite a surprise.

Back with Furball and Sweetie Pie

Furball was in all fours and in a pouncing position, his instincts, hunger and frustrations all controlling him at this point, especially as Sweetie Pie kept taunting him.

"You stink, you stupid cat!...'Sweetie razzed at him.

"Grr…'Furball as he was losing it.

Furball pounced and predictably, Sweetie Pie dodged him…however Furball ended up pouncing on something else, something that was pretty soft.

"Huh?...'A slightly dazed Furball thought as it took a moment for him to realize that he both missed Sweetie Pie and apparently pounced on something else…and he felt his lips were on something too.

Upon opening his eyes, he realized that he was on top of Fifi La Fume…and they were lip locking!

'AH!..."He pulled away and he moved a few feet away as Fifi was coming too.

"Oh la la…My little peperoni of passion, you have returned to me…" Fifi said with hearts in her eyes and Furball could smell her musk getting stronger.

"This can't be happening…"A terrified Furball thought.

He walked back and then noticed his tail which was white and looked at his back and realized what was happening. He looked like a skunk again and he accidentally KISSED Fifi La Fume.

"Not again.." He thought in dread as he watched Fifi approach him, a lovesick look on her face.

"He has return to me and he even KISSED me...'Fifi thought as her heart was thumping in her chest.

Her skunk hunk was back and he not only returned to her but he outright pounced her just to kiss her! If Fifi liked him before, she was completely enamored now.

"Come mon amore! Let me return your embrace…"Fifi said as she started making kissy faces.

"AH!...'Furball screamed as he ran for his nine lives away.

"Oh I love a skunk who plays hard to get…'Fifi said before she went after him, in a classic, patient Pepe Le Pew hop.

Up above, Sweetie Pie had witness the entire exchance with interest, especially at the accidental kiss and what it did to Fifi. She realized what was happening and found it amusing.

It looks like love was in the air in Acme Acres…and it STINKS!

"Oh…This is going to be good…"Sweetie Pie said with a mischievous look on her deceptively cute

The little pink bird started rubbing her hands as ideas formed in her mind on how to use this. Fifi wanted a "skunk hunk" and Furball has this coming, especially with that stupid skunk stripe he has now. She supposed she could do a little "match making" for the heck of it.

After all was fair in love and war, wasn't it?
