Chapter 2
The New Episode Idea/Two Tone Adventures's Cancelation
Author's Note: The rest of the story will contain some spoilers for Buster's Directorial Debut. So, if you haven't seen the episode and don't want that episode spoiled for you, don't read it till after you see the episode. Otherwise, keep reading.
After minutes of thinking, Buster has finally thought up a very interesting idea for a new episode. "What if I directed my own cartoon?" Buster wondered, "No one would expect ol' Buster to direct one, huh?" "Yeah, and Plucky and I would be antagonists to stop you from doing it." Babs replied. "Really?" Plucky asked, "That's not a bad idea, but I don't want to share the same spotlight as Babs!" Babs then spins and impersonates Steve Martin. "Well excuuuuuuse me!" Babs yelled in her best Steve Martin impression. "Alright, Pluckster! We can work with that." Buster replied, and then scratches his head. "Now I just need a title for the upcoming episode." "How about Buster goes Spielberg?" Babs asked. "I like it," Plucky replied. "It breaks the forth wall, considering that Spielberg is our executive producer." "Eh, I rather not be somebody I'm not." Buster protested. "Then, why do you want to be a director?" Babs wondered. "What I meant is, I want to be my own director." Buster explained, "A director unlike any other." "Of course, you are no Steven Spielberg, Buster." Plucky replied. "Which is why it shouldn't be called, Buster Goes Spielberg." said Buster. "Then how about Buster's Directorial Debut?" Babs asked, "It's more you than the last title." "Perfect!" Buster said in excitement. "I'll say. It's clearly better than Buster Goes Spielberg." Plucky agreed. "Then it's settled," said Buster, "The episode will be called, 'Buster's Directorial Debut'!" Buster, Babs, and Plucky then high fived each other as they start writing the script for the episode.
Elsewhere, in a suburb that's near Acme Acres, some kids were watching an episode of Two-Tone Adventures. "Say sister, do you like my ears and butt better up or down?" asked Foxy on TV. "Oh Foxy, you flirt." Roxy on TV giggled in a teasing way as the camera pans to the kids watching. "This is boring!" cried one of the kids, "This isn't as funny as Tiny Toons!" "Yeah!" said one of the other kids, "I don't know what they were thinking when they thought this is a good idea." "Just bad writing, I guess." another kid said. "And Plucky's not even in that episode." The kids then change the channel to a rerun of Tiny Toons. As they do, the Two Tones then face the studio executives in their office. "Care to explain to me why your new cartoons aren't getting enough views? asked one of the executives. "Gosh, we were doing so well earlier," Goopy Gear replied as what he said starts angering the studio executives even more. "Say sister, what do ya know?" asked Foxy, "Could it be because Plucky quit our show?" "Well, come to think of it, our show was doing well when Plucky was with us." Roxy explained, "And since Plucky left, we had to resort to the gags Babs taught us." "That explains why the ratings are plummeting to the toilet." said another executive in rage as he points at the line graph which shows a line going up from the left, and then going down on the right and off the graph. "I hate to say it," said the final executive, "but with those atrocious numbers, I'm afraid we have no choice but to cancel Two Tone Adventures." "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" the Two Tones shrieked in horror. "Now how are we going to pay our bills?" asked Roxy. "That's not our problem." said one of the executives, "Now take your final paychecks and get out, you're all nothing but a bunch of has beens!" "But-" cried Roxy. "Let it go, Roxy," said Foxy in a sad tone. "We had our second chance on TV, and that's all that matters." "Bzzzzt," buzzed the bee as he kisses Roxy on the cheek. "Thanks, Bee." Roxy said with a feint smile, "I needed that." "So what are we going to do now?" asked Goopy Gear. "I'll tell you what we're going to do," replied Foxy, "but we're not going to like it." "You don't mean-" asked Roxy. "Afraid so." answered Foxy. Then the camera fades into a shot of Toonywood Squares. "I'll take Foxy and Roxy to block, please?" asked one of the contestants. "Remember," said Blink Winkleman, "Cartoons never die!" "We just do gameshows." said Foxy and Roxy unenthusiastically.
Meanwhile, back in the studio. "Sir," said one of the studio employees as he rushes into the studio executives' office, "We got over a hundred million letters demanding that Tiny Toons start making new episodes!" "By God, that is exactly what they're going to get." said one of the executives, "but first, we need to find them." "It's going to take some to time to find Buster and Babs." said another executive, "and who knows where Plucky and the others are?" "We'll still find them nonetheless," said the third executive, "Now, let's start looking for them."
